Their names being nothing but a footnote, an easter egg in future media. I want them to be a statistic, a showcase of the brutal uncaring nature of war. I want them to be but a small snippet into the diverse universe of Transformers. I want them to be average.

I want their efforts to have continued impact, but I want them to never live in the space they aim to create. I want them to fight honourably, suffer and die.

I want viewers to attach themselves to the characters, to feel sadness when the cast gets picked off 1 by 1 (maybe a 2 in 1 deal here and there). And in the end of the story (multiple movies or seasons?), I want ALL of the cast to be in stasis or dead (preferably the latter).

I want the typical main cast in Transformers (Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, Soundwave etc.) to be more myths than people in this story - being rarely seen and heard directly, but talked about and their impacts (aftermath) being seen almost everywhere.

being distracted the most are just shooting from the same cover as our healers. No role in this game can chill behind cover for free and win
