Dear, Vector Prime.

What were Daniel Witwicky, Shawn Berger, and Dr. Fujiyama/Hamada like at Tyran cluster?

Dear Human Ally,

“Daniel” is actually an old Witwicky family name. Archibald Witwicky had an older brother named Daniel who tragically died fighting for the Union in the American Civil War. Herbert Witwicky would consequently name one of his sons Daniel in his honor, though he didn’t quite live up to his namesake’s legacy, ending up as a failed stand-up comedian-turned-Burger House manager. Still, he was always a highlight at Witwicky family reunions for the younger members of the family, particularly for the mischief he would get up to with his nephews Sam and Butch, the latter whom he affectionately called “Buster.” After the Battle of Chicago, Buster married his high-school sweetheart Jessie and they had their own son Daniel, named in honor of his great-uncle. The rise of Cemetery Wind soon put a target on most of the Witwicky family due to their affiliations with the Autobots, and Buster was forced to go into hiding alongside his partner Backfire to protect his family. Still a baby when his father left, Daniel heard stories about him from his mother and is now determined to find out what became of him following Cemetery Wind’s dissolution.

Shawn Berger was a human collaborator of the Decepticons in the 1980s. Through his cutthroat business practices in real estate markets and on Wall Street, he helped move money around to finance the Decepticons’ numerous machinations over the decades. Berger also had political aspirations, which were thankfully never realized once he had outlived his usefulness and was killed by Laserbeak.

Dr. Hamada Fujiyama was a scientist studying Transformium for Kinetic Solutions Incorporated. He was instrumental in the development of their Transformer program and personally assisted in the creation of Galvatron. After their creations rebelled, Fujiyama was thrown under the bus and fired by the company. Before leaving, however, he stole a sample of Transformium for himself, planning to continue his research alone.
