* TechnicianPerformerTeamUp: The Performer to Jamie's Technician, being very showy and goofy compared to Jamie's stoicism. They both have commented about how this may lead to the two of them [[TeethClenchedTeamwork getting on each other's nerves]], but it really does bring out the best in each other, as their personalities and professionalism do lend themselves well to making an interesting show for general audiences while still covering all the bases.


Added DiffLines:

* TechnicianPerformerTeamUp: The Technician to Adam's Performer, being very straight-laced and by-the-book compared to Adam's lax attitude. They both have commented about how this may lead to the two of them [[TeethClenchedTeamwork getting on each other's nerves]], but it really does bring out the best in each other, as their personalities and professionalism do lend themselves well to making an interesting show for general audiences while still covering all the bases. He himself enforced this when he spoke about the decision to hire Adam in 2021.

Added DiffLines:

* MysteriousPast: Buster 1.0 was a Hybrid II model crash test dummy (one model behind the then-current Hybrid III). Adam revealed that he called an unrevealed government agency to request one, and was given Buster on the condition the agency would not be revealed and the deal not publicly acknowledged. Adam even mentioned that he ran into the agent he spoke to on a plane ride, who feigned complete ignorance to having spoken or met Adam before.
