Sideswap
Personality: abrupt, impulsive, prone to sarcasm and provocation; behind the outward bravado lies a desire to be useful and prove that he can be relied upon.
Psychological trauma:

the need for recognition - by provoking Megatronus, he tries to show that he is “in control of the situation”, even if he is not completely confident in himself;
shame for his outbursts of aggression - after his outbursts he is tormented by awkwardness, especially when Strongarm has to pull him up short; he tries to hide it, but he experiences it acutely.

Strongarm
Personality: disciplined, cool-headed, self-controlled; able to notice the smallest details and resist provocation. At the same time, she possesses a hidden empathy—she senses tension even in those who hide it.
Psychological trauma:

fear of losing control of the situation - for her this is tantamount to failure of the mission and the possible death of her comrades;
guilt for being "cold" - sometimes she feels like her professionalism comes across as indifference, and that weighs on her.

Bumblebee
Personality: Energetic, focused, able to bridge the gap between different temperaments. In stressful situations, he becomes quieter but more focused; he dislikes showing weakness, preferring to take action.
Psychological trauma:

responsibility for the team - he worries that any mistake he makes could cost one of the fighters a spark;
underestimating one's own decisions - often doubts whether one is "mature" enough for serious tactical steps, and compensates for this with diligence and control.

Optimus Prime
Personality: collected, internally tense, tries to maintain a level and confident demeanor, but becomes especially quiet in moments of doubt. He finds it difficult to "use" the enemy's knowledge, even for the greater good.
Psychological trauma:

a conflict between duty and morality - it is difficult for him to realize that he is forced to rely on the knowledge and experience of Megatronus, whom in all conscience he should consider an enemy;
fear of not living up to trust - afraid that his decisions will lead to new losses;
an internal comparison with the ancient Primes - next to Vector and Micronus he feels "young and not wise enough", which spurred him on to learn, but also hurts him.

Micronus Prime
Personality: Outwardly calm and gentle, but within, a tremendous concentration of strength and knowledge; speaks briefly but to the point, often using analogies and metaphors. Patient with the mistakes of others, but intolerant of frivolity in matters of balance.
Psychological trauma:

a feeling of guilt for “insufficiency” - it seems to him that his strength and wisdom were always just a little bit insufficient to prevent major disasters;
loneliness due to the scale of his understanding - few are able to truly hear and understand him; he is used to his advice being either simplified or ignored.

Vector Prime
Personality: calm, extremely collected, speaks as if every word has been weighed over millennia. He's not easily moved by emotion, but he's not insensitive—he simply uses emotions as analytical tools.
Psychological trauma:

the burden of eternity - he has seen too many timelines and knows how many decisions have led to disasters; this gives rise to a heavy sense of responsibility and a slight detachment;
fatigue from the inevitable - he understands that he cannot save everyone and that many victims were "built into" the fabric of time; hence his restraint and willingness to make tough decisions.

Personality: Proud, furious, uncompromising; perceives his imprisonment as humiliation and proof of betrayal by his fellow Primes. He keeps his distance, speaks sparingly and harshly, each word a blow.
Psychological trauma:

the trauma of rejection and betrayal - he feels that his greatness was not recognized and his role in history was distorted; he believes that his Prime brothers wrote him off instead of listening;
identity crisis - a conflict between the memory of one's own greatness and the current status of a prisoner;
Rage as a defense mechanism - aggression hides vulnerability: he is afraid that if he weakens his anger, he will completely lose himself.
