I still remember how ticked off Transformers fans got when one of the IDW writers (NOT one of the good ones) insisted that Transformers were very hard to write interesting stories for, because they were robots and robots don't have emotions or relationships. It was like, "dude, how did you manage to land a job writing Transformer comics apparently without having had any contact with the reams of previous TF material (multiple comics, multiple cartoon series, toy box character descriptions, movies) whatsoever??"
90% of us fanfiction writers had a better grasp on TF characters than this writer had.
