I think that was partially due to the fact that they weren't having the kind of epic adventures on a regular basis that the SotS people were, and a little teenage P&Y (somehow, that just sounds dirty) went a long way.

I think we had in mind the Jetstorm clones from Beast Machines, actually (or at least the Deluxe toy version of same), but the principle is much the same - faceless, and possibly sparkless, goons. Jetstorm himself was originally going to be the sacrificial mook at the beginning of the Megatron fight (and he's mentioned in Scourge's train of thought during his battle with Starscream), but we decided to save him for now in case he's needed later.

Unicron's been tinkering with more versatile alts. Galvatron 2.0 had a vehicle form (based, out-of-story, on the Megatron /Galvatron design in Transformers Energon).

You can see him in this swanky Fred Perry pic Phil commissioned way back when we first knew this scene was gonna happen.

Back in 2005! Yes, we've been planning this for a WHILE.

this seems to show it could go either way. Does she consider this field expedient repairs or not?

No one on the scene really knows, because no one really knows what the Call is. Some say it would naturally affect only those who, regardless of body, possess a spark connected to the native Cybertron, and as such, "adopted" Transformers like Gally and Marty Rose wouldn't be subject to its pull (as, indeed, the crew of the Axalon do not appear to be). Sari came from a sparked but unformatted protoform, so she qualifies under those criteria. Other authorities believe that this assumption is just that - an assumption, not backed up by anything but gut instinct and the anecdotal evidence of the Axalon crew - and that everyone should wait and see.

Well, funny story: Slipstream in Cybertron Reloaded actually predates Slipstream in Transformers Animated. It's just an obvious name for a Sky Soldier, and we needed a few new ones.

That said, we haven't seen much of her yet, but from what we have seen, I would say her job is mainly to be the level-headed, vaguely-foresight-equipped one in the team of Sideslip and Slipstream. Sort of Springer to his Hot Rod. (As the actress said to the bishop.)
