I don’t like spike or daniel either… or ‘sparkplug’. I swear sparkplug should have just been a name for another actual bot.
That’s the thing, I actually like Sparkplug, even though it is such an odd name for a human. But at least Sparkplug is useful? He actually does help out in episodes with his mechanical skills. But Spike is just a complete deadweight. It’s saying something when your characters most commonly said line is “Help!”
Like, he barely ever did anything other than be rescue fodder. Whereas Carly is smart and capable (planting a bomb onto the hull of the Decepticon ship? That’s badass), she’s always helpful whenever she appears.
Chip also I think is amazing and he always saves the day in every episode he’s in. I love him. Even when he fails (like in Megatrons Masterplan pt.2) he still ends up saving the day. What a guy!
And Raoul too, love Raoul. Awesome street punk, and his ability to fix up cars practically makes him a medic to the Autobots. He deserved more than two episodes.
I even like Astoria, she’s fun in an intentionally annoying way and I just think she’s fun.
Basically this boils down to I love every human sidekick in G1 except Spike. Let Carly, Chip, Raoul and Astoria be a fun team together. I think those four as the main humans would make an amazing and fun dynamic. That would be a good well rounded human cast.
