* AmbiguouslyBi: Reggie.



* BaldOfAwesome: Randall.



* DarkerAndEdgier: The 'Kidnapped' and 'Jason' storylines are darker and more brutal compared to the otherwise Lighter And Softer approach of the majority of the series. They are presented in more of a dramatic graphic novel format rather than the usual witty punchlines.



* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though Charley and Sasha are keen to win the Mexican Rallycross by cheating and causing car accidents to achieve this, they do not want to kill anybody on purpose either because "It's nicer to win races that don't kill people!".

''Transmission'' is a webcomic created by Mark Alexander Smith about red squirrel Russell and Reggie, who are identical twins. They are English car mechanics living in Southern California.

Most of the comic's story arcs revolve around British and American cultural divisions, but also around the characters love of motoring and exploration. The comic was inspired by the author's own trips to America.
