History Characters / TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEyeLostLightCrew

* RememberTheNewGuy: Got this as his introduction. Justified by the large size of the Lost Light. Also parodied/inverted; the other cast members knew who is was but Crosscut didn't know about a lot of the stuff the other cast members were doing during Season 1.

* ShellShockedVeteran: Noted to be Rung's longest-suffering patient

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: If his self-proclaimed backstory is true, he feels this way about the fact that he fled from his first battle, calling himself a coward for it.

* SmugSnake: [[spoiler:He's a manipulative, ambitious schemer who keeps digging a bigger and bigger hole for himself and his compatriots through his arrogance, impulsiveness, and petty cruelty.]]

* MetaGuy: He criticizes stories in ways that function as a sort of TakeThat to Transformers stories. In Bullets he discusses Fisitron's repeated phrases (a nod to Simon Furman's writing habits), and in issue 50 he snarks that 2nd seasons aren't always where the stories hit their stride (a bit of SelfDeprecation on Roberts's part on how season 2 hasn't been as well received as season 1)

* VillainousFriendship: With [[spoiler: Atomizer, the two working closely to plan out and enact their mutiny, showcasing a similar taste for manipulating others to get their way. The key difference though is that whereas Getaway is a [[ItsAllAboutMe self centered]] sociopath Atomizer is an honest to god WellIntentionedExtremist who grows increasingly sickened by his partner's immoral actions, culminating in a timely HeelFaceTurn to save First Aid and co, which Getaway responds with by fatally mutilating Atomizer, in effect dissolving their partnership.]]

* DemotedToExtra: Sunstreaker, Hound.

* FamedInStory: Spoke and Lockstock

* ThisIsADrill: Ore has one on place of one of his hands

* VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler:Of the Mutineers arc, where he relays the entire process of the coup to Froid, as well as chronicle his struggles to keep the crew under his thumb.]]

* MinoredInAssKicking

* MotorMouth: A very chatty person in general. Especially loves to dish about his crew mates relationships, romantic or otherwise.

* FamedInStory

* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:His mutiny is played out for justifiable reasons, but the methods and lengths he resorts to leave a lot to be desired.]]

* GeniusBruiser

* TheSmartGuy
* TheSpock

* TheSmartGuy

* BadassNormal
* CombatPragmatist
* DeadpanSnarker

* TheEveryman: He's so generic, Swerve can't think of anything more descriptive about him than "he's green".

* OnlySaneMan

* MotorMouth

* StepfordSmiler

* TheAce

* ItsAllAboutMe: While adept at [[BitchInSheepsClothing feigning civility]] Getaway is a self obsessed narcissist fixated on delusions of being [[TheChosenOne selected for Primehood]]. Even his [[spoilers: justifications for ejecting Megatron and co from the Lost Light, while [[VillainHasAPoint technically reasonable]], ultimately stem more from both Megatron terrifying Getaway on his first day of duty and his hatred/envy of Rodimus, than does it any heartfelt concern for people who ''aren't'' named Getaway.]]

%% * {{MacGyvering}}
** LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard: Lampshaded by Getaway himself when he mentions he's now locked in with a bunch of other Cybertronians.

* AllergicToRoutine: He bores easily and feels directionless when he isn't doing something.

* DumbassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: Before Getaway tries to dispose of him Riptide gets in a few cutting remarks, noting that Getaway isn't nearly as clever he fancies himself to be and wouldn't have gotten as far as he did without using the Nudge Gun so much, actually managing to get underneath the sociopathic bastard's skin.]]

* RememberTheNewGuy: Averted. He shows up on the Lost Light as part of the Aquabots, characters who, like Crosscut, haven't been seen onscreen but have been mentioned as hanging out in the background. However, Riptide was beaten up and left unconscious on Cybertron when the Lost Light left, so his introduction to the audience is his introduction to the crew.

* SuckySchool: As an MTO he was basically raised in one. It's definitely left it's mark on him.

* CerebusSyndrome: Back during the ''Dark Cybertron'' event, Getaway was depicted as the OnlySaneMan amidst the Lost Light crew involved with the mission, frequently snarking about Rodimus' ego, the groups eccentricities, and the absurdity that is the Rodpod, all being PlayedForLaughs. [[spoiler:Said gags all take a much darker turn as the series progresses, culminating in his MotiveRant during Issue #50, where he declares the moment he saw the Rodpod, he knew Rodimus was an egocentric failure of a leader, his inner circle a bunch of enabling nutjobs, and his resentment for them had been growing until he could finally pull off his mutiny.]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Played with regarding Skids. Unlike with [[BaitTheDog Tailgate]] the friendship he developed with Skids while the two of them served together appeared quite genuine. That said, Getaway being [[ItsAllAboutMe Getaway]] wasn't always the nicest person, acting passively aggressively towards his blue bodied buddy, the "bomp" thing in particular done solely to get under Skids skin. Ultimately, whatever affection Getaway attached to him was very narcissistic, in that he only cared about how Skids made ''him'' feel, not vice versa. Case in point: [[spoiler: Getaway abandons Skids, the person he's consistently treated like a best friend, on Necroworld without a second thought, yet not long, gets upset at footage of Skids calling Nautica his best friend.]]

* KarmaHoudini: From all the way back in ''All Hail Megatron'' #15 where [[spoiler: Prowl orders Percy to secretly implant a physically reinvigorated Kup with a MindControlDevice which would allow Prowl to puppeteer Kup and use him as mouthpiece to get his ideas across to high command. Perceptor does this reluctantly, arguing with Prowl over the morality of this scheme, but the fact remains he still does it, without any consequences for it. Unless you count Percy becoming a Sparkeater, a mindless zombie beast controlled by the Grand Architect, as the universe leveling things.]]

* PoisonousFriend: [[spoiler:In ''Our Steps Will Always Rhyme'', he lies to Tailgate to try to drive him and Cyclonus apart in order to spend more time with him alone, and poor, young, naive Tailgate can't see it.]]

* {{MacGyvering}}

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:His ultimate plan would place Tailgate squarely at the mercy of a panicked Megatron, fully intending for him to die.]]
