Leaders’ portraits || 首领肖像
“Leaders” here means No.1 and No.2’s of autobots and decepticons. We all know who the No. 1’s are. So I’ll talk more about the No. 2’s.
In the Optimus-Megatron age, there was no apparent No. 2 for autobots. Starscream was without doubt the decepticon No. 2. He was a very memorable character, both treacherous and funny. He’s probably the only decepticon who openly expressed his ambition to replace Megatron right in front of Megatron. At times when Megatron was temporarily down in the battle field, he would yell in excitement: “HE HAS FALLEN! I’m the new leader now!”. He even plotted several times to get rid of Megatron for real. But everytime after he failed and begged for mercy, Megatron would let him live. Apparently Megatron recognized Starscream’s capability to be valuable, but not enough to be a real threat to Megatron’s throne.
Well, things finally changed in the 1986 movie, where Starscream abandoned fatally wounded Megatron and really took over the decepticon leadership. His glory didn’t last long, as Megatron returned as Galvatron, and killed Starscream right on his coronation. But I guess he was just too popular to die. In TV episodes later, Starscream returned as a ghost, and was revived by Unicron.
In the Rodimus-Galvatron age, the autobot and decepticon No. 2 were Ultramagnus and Cyclonus, respectively. Ultramagnus was like a role model of autobots, noble, courageous and wise, who seemed more suitable to be a leader than Rodimus. Since Rodimus had confidence issues, Ultramagnus was there to make up for the lack of leadership sometimes. Cyclonus on the other hand, was like a role model of decepticons, loyal to Galvatron, enjoying battle and ruthless to enemies and soldiers who didn’t follow order. Interestingly, Cyclonus did betray Galvatron once. That was because he thought Galvatron’s madness was too much, and tried to find an asylum to cure Galvatron. He found the most famous asylum in the galaxy, which was a special planet. But of course Galvatron would never go there willingly, and so Cyclonus had to lure him there with false information, and let the “doctors” take care of the rest. Well, it turned out that even that asylum couldn’t cure Galvatron. Cyclonus begged for Galvatron’s forgiveness and Galvatron hit him in the face. And that’s it.
In my stickers, there are many images of No. 1’s. But there are much fewer images for No. 2’s. It seems rather unbalanced. I mean at least Starscream should deserve more exposure.
“首领”在这里指的是汽车人和霸天虎的头号和二号人物。我们都知道一号人物是谁，那么我就来谈谈二号人物。
在擎天柱威震天时代，汽车人里没有明显的二号人物。霸天虎的二号人物则无疑是红蜘蛛。红蜘蛛是个很有趣的角色，野心勃勃的反骨仔，又很搞笑。他大概是唯一一个敢在威震天面前说自己要取代威震天的霸天虎。有时威震天在战场上被击中暂时倒下，红蜘蛛就会兴奋地大叫：“威震天倒下啦！现在我是头儿啦！”他还是个行动派，几次实施计划要除掉威震天。但是他的计划全部失败，之后他又会向威震天求饶：“饶了我吧威震天！我会将功补过的！”威震天还真的每次都饶了他。估计威震天觉得红蜘蛛的能力还是有用的，但还没达到真正威胁自己的地步。
在1986年的大电影里，事情终于生变。红蜘蛛抛弃了重伤的威震天，让他在宇宙里漂流，自生自灭，而他真的纂权成功，成为了霸天虎的领袖。不过好景不长，威震天变成惊破天回来了，在红蜘蛛的加冕典礼上一炮将他干掉了。但是红蜘蛛这种高人气角色不会永远消失的，在之后的电视剧集里，他以鬼魂的形式回归， 而且被宇宙大帝复活了。
在补天士惊破天时代，汽车人和霸天虎的二号人物分别是通天晓和狂飙。通天晓是个模范汽车人，高尚，英勇，睿智，看上去比补天士更像领袖。因为补天士有缺乏自信的问题，所以通天晓可以弥补他领导力的薄弱。狂飙则是个模范霸天虎，对惊破天无限忠诚，热爱战斗，对敌人和不听命令的手下冷酷无情。不过有趣的是，狂飙也背叛过惊破天一次。那次是因为他觉得惊破天太疯狂了，所以想找个精神病院给他治一治。他找到了银河系里最有名的精神病院，一颗特殊的星球。当然，惊破天不可能自愿去精神病院，所以狂飙用假情报引诱惊破天去了那里，然后让“医生们”来做剩下的事情。呵呵，结果那颗星球也治不好惊破天的疯病。狂飙乞求惊破天的原谅，惊破天就狠狠地一拳打在他脸上，这事儿就算揭过了。
在我的不干胶里，头号人物有很多张图，但是二号人物的图就少得多，看起来很不平衡。我觉得红蜘蛛至少应该多点曝光才对。
