Flowband is a hilarious goof. He's a mechanic/engineer that always screws everything up, and Thrixo finds it endlessly entertaining. He'll often gift him new things to tinker with just to see what wild incompetence he'll come up with this time.
Flow band appreciates Thrixo as an all purpose parts supplier. He gets the best stuff and always seems to happy to let Flow tinker with it and try and figure out how it works or how to use it, even though it tends to be ruined by the end.
Echo was a co-worker WAY before the war. They were both police bots on the same squad. Thrixo wouldn't recognize him nowadays.
If asked, Echo could probably recollect his days in the police force quite clearly, but has difficulty placing names to his old coworkers. He has a vague recollection of Thrixo, but would never pick him out of a crowd. They knew each other a very, very long time ago, and Echo hasn't been able to think about his old life in many vorns.
Eggshell thinks Exhaustpipe is a dope, but he's obedient and a very good shot, so he trusts him more than most of his crew.
Exhaustpipe trusts Eggshell, perhaps too blindly. He thinks that the captain is well suited for his role and is happy to assist however he can. Eggshell doesn't make it easy on him, which Exhaust doesn't always appreciate as a fairly laid-back mech, but he does his best to be complacent for the crew and the cause.
Exhaustpipe is kind of weird to her. He seems to seek out the company of Generics, which makes him suspicious to her. Otherwise, not much to note.
Lookout is kindof hostile for no reason, but Exhaust doesn't take it too personally. He thinks she's actually kindof funny sometimes- especially when she's not trying, which is almost always.
Echo is super nice, even if he seems too serious all the time! He's smart and he let Mace join his team so he likes him.
Mace can be irritating and scatterbrained- more so than Echo ever would've sought out if he could help it. But, he had needed a squadron and had seemed desperate. Echo's better judgement be damned, he couldn't leave the mech to wander alone or be killed. Additionally, Radius took a rather immediate liking to him, which was annoying but not unexpected, and Echo didn't have the heart to deny the optimism.
Echo is a good leader, though his interpersonal relationships cloud his judgment at times.
Echo sometimes thinks that Battery understands his disposition better than most. But she's also inherently and outwardly aggressive, so he's not sure if he's just projecting on her or relating to her too much.
Radius is a kindred spirit. They get along easily.
Bumper is a mech of a similar nature, and Radius thinks he's chill. They talk about nothing in particular over high grade sometimes, which is always a nice change of pace, and makes Radius feel younger.
Thrixo met Weathervane way back in the day. He thinks he's a bit of a snake, but with the right crowd he can do real good.
Weathervane respects Thrixo as a logical and clever bot. He hasn't seen him in a long, long time, but he thinks that's for the best.
Thrixo is annoying because he doesn't react to ANYTHING.
Daystream gets the group into a lot of unnecessary trouble by stealing things and ticking off otherwise-friendly people. It's great.
Flowband builds things that are alright but Daystream wants them and often takes his things and hides them away for her personal stash.
Flow thinks that Day is goofy, but thinks that she's entertaining. She doesn't often have good things to say about his inventions, but that's okay, because she still hangs out and visits every once and a while so he doesn't get lonely. He does wish she'd give his tools back though, so he didn't have to go back and grab them himself.
Modus is a good bot. He's young, and eager to learn about the world before the war, and Vane thinks that's admirable. He's patient and a good learner, and he always has plenty of questions. Vane is happy to tell him everything he wants to know, and has a soft spot for him and his sister.
Modus is fascinated by Weathervane- particularly for his stories of the Pre-War world and his incredible memory and attention to detail in describing said stories. He's fond of Vane for his overall patience, and appreciates that with all of the questions Modus tends to ask, Vane never gets angry at him.
Warrant met Blackbox every once in a while on supply runs. He was one of the suppliers, and they kicked off a simple friendship. They would sometimes take time to hide away and just chat. Warrant was rather fond of him.
Blackbox thought Warrant was an interesting mech with lots of interesting things to say. Fleeting and inconsistent as their friendship was, he felt very strongly for the drone and always looked forward to running into him. He was crushed when Warrant stopped showing up to their usual spots, and still worries that he did something to chase him away.
Perimeter deeply intimidates Weathervane, because she’s so good at reading people. He feels like she can see right through him and the thought of being unwillingly vulnerable frightens him. He will always try to shrug her off when she tries to kick up a conversation with him.
Perimeter thinks that Vane is guarded, rather than shy or quiet. Despite her best attempts to make him feel welcome, he tends to avoid her, sometimes going to absurd lengths to do so. She's inclined to believe there's something he's hiding, but tries to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Skyhigh is an intelligent femme, but she's misguided. They used to be friends and it saddens Bumper to see how deeply she's lost her way.
Bumper chose the wrong side, and for that, Skyhigh pities him. That said, she doesn't personally wish him ill.
Skyhigh is the most competent Decepticon of his entire crew. She is essentially his unofficial SIC.
Eggshell is a means to an end. Skyhigh will follow his lead as long as the road goes. She's perhaps the only one bold enough to question his orders or suggest alterations, as she does not fear him.
Weathervane is intimidated by Shrapnel, but views him as reliable physically. He worries he’s not as smart as he thinks he is, though.
Weathervane is flimsy and seems rather unreliable as a warrior in Shrapnel's opinion. Despite that, he doesn't have control over who joins the crew and who doesn't, so he tolerates Vane, but won't initiate a conversation with him anytime soon.
Shrapnel is big and angry but Mace is no stranger to angry people. He'll make him his friend soon enough!
Mace is aggravating. Mace is small. Mace is a liability.
Modus is Operandi's brother, and they are very close. They both have a love for medicine and enjoy learning together. He's smarter than she is, and she defers to him for big decisions, but he's too reserved sometimes and Operandi can get too stir crazy when they stand back and wait for too long.
Modus would do anything for Operandi. She's the more energetic, social half of their spark, and thus Modus depends on her as their shared vocal side. He's easily anxious, but with her, he feels significantly more comfortable and at easy, even though she tends to stress him out a lot.
Piper hates her brother. She thinks he's a selfish coward and holds a grudge against him for abandoning the family.
Max dislikes Piper. She's aggressive and so is he, so they're liable to fight. He sees her as an extension of their parents, and believes she is a bad person.
Piper loves her brother very much, and feels she needs to make up for leaving him in his time of need. She gets along famously with him, even though one would never expect them to. She's loud and has a mean sense of humor, but he always gets what she means and in fact plays along with her teasing.
Isaac has patched up his relationship with his sister, even though they had been on poor terms for years beforehand. She had hurt him, but she had been a different person back then. They were both manipulated and mistreated by their parents, and they've both managed to get away from them, so he understands. Piper was, in fact, the one to reach out to him first, and he was skeptical at first, but they've been able to reconnect as siblings. She's one of the people who thoroughly understands him, and it's nice to have her in his corner again.
Quincie is Wyatt's adoptive daughter. He feels inadequate as a parent, oftentimes, but tries to do right by her the best he can. He had been friends with her mother before her death, and knows how hard that hit her. They used to have a tense relationship, but over time they've come to understand each other and grown close as family. Wyatt still feels weirdly emotional whenever she calls him "dad."
She has a wonderful creative mind and a real talent for crafting, something completely beyond him, and he finds that amazing. He keeps a lot of her school projects and proudly displays them around the apartment. Even through all the rough spots, she goes out of her way to do nice things for him, and he really loves her for trying.
Quincie respects Wyatt and has slowly come to accept him as her dad. Her biological father was terrible to her, but Wyatt is nothing like him. He helped her get away from her father, and offered her the option to stay with him instead of going into the foster system, even though he ended up having to work more to support the both of them.
At first she was in a very bad place, and was cold and prickly towards Wyatt. She was antisocial and didn't want to be around him or anyone. However, over time she began to realize how much he was trying, and began to feel guilty. In response, she began trying to do things for him, such as making sculptures for him, getting his favorite foods, and such. She loves him as family.
Rosa had a particular interest in Percy the day she met him out roaming in the forest. There was something about him that intrigued her. Even if she was a Guardian, and he a mortal, she still had this will to become closer to him, wanting to learn more about him the more he told her about himself. After that, it didn't take her long to fall in love with him.
She always laughs when Percy fits into one of her dresses, finding it adorable and quirky. She loves to rock one of his suits too just to confuse people. Another side hobby of hers is to embarrass or fluster him in any way she can. Present day, now having a daughter and a new life with Percy, she has never been happier and would do anything for him.
Percival is completely head over heels for Rosa. He developed a crush pretty quickly after they met, what with her being super cute and knowledgeable and always taking him off guard with gestures of kindness. At first, he told himself it was only because she was of high status (being, you know, an actual deity,) and thus it would be acceptable for him to marry her. However, it was harder and harder to deny that he was genuinely in love the more time he spent with her.
Now that they're married with a daughter, Percy is the happiest he could be. She's done wonders for his security, even if he stills gets really embarrassed by compliments and affection. He likes to tease her as much as she does him, and their relationship remains playful. He still has a huge crush on his wife.
Piper was a different person when she had the twins. They weren't her children, they were Chester's problem. Still, every once in a while it would haunt her, what happened two those two kids she left with a jobless creep. When they showed up at her door, fully-grown teens, she essentially slammed the door in their faces. On Coal's advice and some reflection later, she came to bitterly regret this decision, or in fact regret ever giving them up at all, and immediately went to try beg their forgiveness.
Derrien straight-up told her he would never forgive her, and that's where things have stood. She has no contact with him and barely knows anything about him.
Derrien is very embittered towards his mother, and holds a strong grudge against her for leaving them. He also has a distaste for anyone associated with her. He greatly takes after her personality-wise.

Harvey, she learned, was a ball of sunshine. He accepted her into his life way quicker than she expected. He's athletic, which does her proud, and he's an absolute social butterfly. She often wonders how a kid Chester raised could have turned out so perfect.
When they first met, Piper really hurt Harvey. He felt like she didn't want him, that his own mother thought he was a mistake. But ever the forgiving type, when she reached out to apologize, he was happy to try build a relationship with her. It's a bit strange, because they still don't know each other very well, but she's almost like a softer version of Derrien sometimes, so Harv doesn't have too much trouble reading her. He stays with her and her husband every other week, since she IS his mom. This has caused rifts with Derrien.
Piper was very nervous about Kenna when she first came along, but she has grown to really love her daughter, and couldn't imagine not having her around. She finds great pride in the fact that Kenna is physically active, following in her footsteps, although she doesn't entirely approve of some of her fashion choices. Piper knows she can have a temper and has a tendency to hurt feelings, so though she has never been a perfect mom she's always been quick to apologize for her stupider moments.
Kenna thinks that her mom is kinda rough and a little intense, but knows that in any situation, Piper is the best person to have on her side of the playing field. Her mom is dependable, strong-willed and assertive, all qualities she admires deeply. She encourages Kenna to stick up for herself and be confident in who she is, and getting to go to work with her sometimes is really special to Ken. As she gets older, her mom's temper gets on her nerves sometimes, but she is perfectly capable of firing back when things get a little heated, a trait she inherited from her. She loves her mom very much and wants a good relationship with her, so things never stay too tense between them for long.
