7 | !Decepticon Characters and Subfactions |
8 | In this universe, the Decepticons were created when young mathematician Megatron noticed in his [[{{Franchise/Foundation}} numerical studies of social trends]] that civil war was almost certain. To that end, he created [[LaResistance a resistance movement]] behind the scenes, and when Optimus Prime conquered Cybertron the Decepticons were ready to rise up and free it once again. |

10 | [[folder:Main Decepticons]] |
11 | !!Megatron |
12 | |
13 | Megatron was a young mathematician who lectured at a university on Cybertron. However, he noticed something disturbing, civil war was coming.

25 | * EquippableAlly: He wields Rumbler on his hand, which serves as an ArmCannon and can produce EnergyBlade. [[spoiler:Even after becoming Galvatron, he retained the ability to attach him to his arm.]] |

29 | * GentlemanSnarker: Despite his gentle nature, he's not above being snarky when facing enemies. |
30 | * LightningLash: [[spoiler:As Galvatron, he's got an electro-whip built in.]] |
31 | * NiceGuy: Megatron is kind, gentle, and cares about all sentient beings. [[NotMakingThisupDisclaimer No, you didn't misread.]] This is indeed a MirrorUniverse. |

52 | * NiceGuy: He's very friendly and easygoing. |
53 | * TheQuietOne: He's one of the quieter Decepticons. |

60 | * TranquilizerDart: He can fire anestho-shells to sedate his victims. |
61 | * WarriorTherapist: Even though he's a psychologist, he's not above into going in battle lines. |
62 | |
63 | !!Cliffjumper |
64 | |
65 | This Cliffjumper is actually the one from the normal universe (specifically ''Transformers Classics'', a Fun Publications-sanctioned continuation of the [[ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel Marvel Comics continuity]]), having entered this universe via traveling through a mysterious portal. He has found the Shattered Universe very ''disorienting'', to say the least, but proudly stands by Megatron and the Decepticons. |
66 | |
67 | * BerserkButton: Traitors among ranks piss him off. [[spoiler:Which is why he hated Cyclonus the most after the latter's pardon.]] |
68 | * BloodKnight: He really loves fighting. |
69 | * CannotTalkToWomen: Briefly PlayedForLaughs in "Eye in the Sky" prose story, where, after rebooting Crasher, he had trouble explaining his unfamiliarity to the female Transformers (since the first female Transformer built in his universe was Elita One, and she was constructed secretly from others). |
70 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: How native Cybertronians see him. They find his gung-ho attitude towards battle and belief in [[{{God}} Primus]] rather strange, much to his irritation. |
71 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Even ''before'' he realized the Decepticons in this universe are heroes, he was disgusted by how evil Autobots wanted to execute Rumble for entertainment. |
72 | * IChooseToStay: [[spoiler:When he finally gets a chance to go home, he declines, preferring to stay until the alternate Optimus Prime is finally defeated… which he knows is likely going to take a ''very'' long time.]] |
73 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be short-tempered, distrustful and very blood-thirsty, but make no mistake, he's known as ''heroic'' Autobot for a reason; he genuinely wants to bring peace to this universe and stop the evil Autobots and their universal conquest plans. |
74 | * MetaGuy: Coming from the positive polarity universe, he's really aware of differences between normal and ''Shattered Glass'' universes. |
75 | * OnlySaneMan: Or rather, he likes to think he is compared to everyone else. Meanwhile, the other Cybertronians find his gung-ho attitude towards battle and belief in [[{{God}} Primus]] rather strange, much to his irritation. |
76 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: He gets sent from his home universe to the ''Shattered Glass'' one, with no way back. |
77 | |
78 | !!Constructicons |
79 | |
80 | Constructicons are the Decepticon medics and builders. |
81 | |
82 | * TheEngineer: They aren't called Constructicons for nothing; they are the ones who build and construct stuff. |
83 | * TheMedic: They are the ones who repair the wounded bots. In fact, they are actually colored like mainstream universe Autobot ambulances to reinforce the point. |
84 | |
85 | !!Cyclonus |
86 | |
87 | Cyclonus is a Decepticon with big loyalty issues. The only reason he still managed to stay on Decepticon side is due to his hatred for Ultra Magnus. [[spoiler:These loyalty issues resulted in him being swayed under Alpha Trion's wing, and he killed Megatron on his orders, which got him thrown into prison. However, Galvatron released and pardoned him, and now Cyclonus seeks to atone for his crimes.]] |
88 | |
89 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He's the main character in "Coalescence" prose story. |
90 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Seeks to atone for his betrayal and murder of Megatron.]] |

94 | * FireForgedFriends: [[spoiler:Befriended Darkwing and Crasher in "Coalescence" over the course of their adventure.]] |
95 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: At the earliest stages of war, he changed allegiances like people change socks, staying with Decepticons out of personal hatred for Ultra Magnus. [[spoiler:Then he joined Alpha Trion and killed Megatron, which got him thrown into prison, where he [[HeelRealization found his conscience]] and [[TheAtoner chose to atone for his crimes]], thankfully being pardoned by Galvatron, Megatron's revived self.]] |
96 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: [[spoiler:In "Coalescence", the story makes no attempts to hide the fact he assassinated Megatron.]] |
97 | * MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Krunix, post-redemption.]] |
98 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:Allowing himself to be deceived by Alpha Trion and his assasination of Megatron. Even he believes himself to be KarmaHoudini for what he had done.]] |
99 | * ReformedButRejected: [[spoiler:Even though Galvatron forgave him, ''none'' of other Decepticons did. Especially the traitor-hating Cliffjumper.]] |
100 | * TheRival: To Ultra Magnus. It's why he joined the Decepticons. |
101 | * UnknownRival: Ultra Magnus himself doesn't seem to be aware of him and his vendetta against him. |
102 | |
103 | !!Demolishor |
104 | * DeepCoverAgent: For the Underbase. |
105 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He greatly cares about other Underbase agents, and was even willing to [[MoreExpendableThanYou send himself instead of Windblade]] so she and Strongarm won't be separated. [[spoiler:Once he dies, others realize what their servitude to The Fallen will lead them into.]] |
106 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Gets sent into positive polarity universe in the middle of the Combiner Wars, where resident version of Devastator shoots him with solar rifle, killing him.]] |
107 | * SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:His death served as a reminder that Underbase staff are too merely pawns in The Fallen's game.]] |
108 | * ShapeshifterModeLock: He is actually a sentient probe made of Transformium, yet he got locked in Cybertronian mode with the others. |
109 | * TankGoodness: His alt-mode is the anti-air tank. |
110 | |
111 | !!Divebomb |
112 | |
113 | Divebomb is a student of Razorclaw and a daydreamer, escaping the horror and the destruction of everyday life. Divebomb masks his sadness behind a cheerful exterior to prevent others from being affected from his true feelings. |
114 | |
115 | * EyeBeams: He can fire laser beams from his optics. |
116 | * NobleBirdOfPrey: Transforms into an eagle. |

120 | |
121 | Heatwave is a cheerful engineer with the unique ability to converse with non-sentient machines. |
122 | |
123 | * AllLovingHero: In regards to technology. He can be stopped by someone holding a computer hostage (provided Heatwave likes that computer, of course). |
124 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Usually a very friendly and cheerful guy even by Decepticon standards, but he's still one of the larger Decepticons, and has, on separate occasions, accidentally trashed a human tourist attraction due to thinking the statue exhibits were alive, threatened to crush a traitor, and blown up a hijacked human military base. |
125 | %%* TheEngineer |
126 | * ForgotTheCall: Knows he has something [[spoiler:about his past]] he's forgetting, but just doesn't care, until it [[spoiler:[[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive comes looking for him]].]] |

128 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Really Seven Billion Years Old, being as he is [[spoiler:part of Nexus Prime.]] |
129 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: One of the very few Decepticons (if not the only one) with red optics, despite his genial personality. [[spoiler:Turns out it's because he's not from this universe.]] |
130 | * TheSmartGuy: [[spoiler:See "Nexus Prime".]] |
131 | * {{Technopath}}: With shades of FurryConfusion, as he treats non-sentient machines as if they ''were'' sentient. |
132 | * WeDoTheImpossible: His profile quote. Heatwave has a knack for breaking into unbreakable systems, including those with no means of interface. |
133 | |
134 | !!Rampage |
135 | |
136 | Rampage is known for constantly and tirelessly working, not stopping for anything in order to help the cause. |
137 | |
138 | * AlienArtsAreAppreciated: Enjoys viewing the Earth television, which is the only thing that calms him down. Him watching Earth nature documentaries is what gave the Predacons the basis for their alt-modes. |
139 | * PantheraAwesome: Transforms into a tiger. |
140 | |
141 | !!Razorclaw |
142 | |
143 | Formerly a science professor, Razorclaw was forced to flee with two of his students when the war started. Known for unconventional thinking, he welcomes all who approach him seeking knowledge for its own sake. |
144 | |
145 | * BadassBookworm: He used to be a science professor in the now-destroyed Tyrest University. Even though he adopted hunter style, his knowledge is open to everyone who seeks it from him. |
146 | * NobleWolves: Transforms into a wolf. |
147 | * TeamDad: To Divebomb and Rampage. |
148 | |
149 | !!Shockwave |
150 | |
151 | Shockwave is a Decepticon whose skills involve making peace with other organisms, working as the ambassador between Earth and the Decepticons. Calm, intelligent, and patient, though no scientist. Like most Decepticons, he's more than willing to put his life on the line to save humans. |
152 | |
153 | * ArmCannon: His left hand is replaced with one. He also features cannons on his right hand. |
154 | * CyberCyclops: Wouldn't be Shockwave if he weren't this trope. |
155 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Kind and gentle to every sentient being. |
156 | * NiceGuy: Very friendly and amicable, and notably, he's one of the few who didn't mock Cliffjumper for his beliefs in Primus (though he did mess up by believing Cliffjumper to be his avatar). |
157 | * TakingTheBullet: He took a missile Seaspray fired at Sephie, Decepticons' human ally, and nearly died because of that. |
158 | * TechnicalPacifist: Even though he really dislikes fighting, he still can defend himself and shoot a hole in an Autobot if necessary. |
159 | |
160 | !!Sideswipe |
161 | |
162 | Sideswipe was once an evil Autobot, and one of the most dangerous of Optimus Prime's men. This began to change when Prime suspected Sideswipe of increasingly conflicted loyalties, and conspired to have him assassinated. As a result, Sideswipe joined the heroic Decepticons. He now fights against Prime and all his evil. |
163 | |
164 | %%* AntiHero: Type V, see NominalHero. |
165 | %%* BloodKnight |
166 | * CainAndAbel: His brother, Sunstreaker, is still a loyal Autobot. |
167 | * {{Expy}}: |
168 | ** He's based primarily on ''Armada'' Wheeljack - a former Autobot turned Decepticon out for revenge on his former comrades. He even has the same scarred Autobot symbol on his chest. The difference is that because this is the MirrorUniverse, Sideswipe's change in allegiances was a HeelFaceTurn rather than a FaceHeelTurn. |
169 | ** This really brings things full circle, since Wheeljack's design was based on ''G1'' Sideswipe and ''SG'' Sideswipe's own toy is a redeco of ''Armada'' Wheeljack's. |
170 | * HeelFaceTurn: Used to be an Autobot until Optimus Prime set an ambush to get him killed. |
171 | * KeepingTheHandicap: He chose to keep the huge scratch mark on his chest (that goes over [[SmashTheSymbol his Autobot insignia]]) despite the fact that he could've had it easily repaired. He explains that he wears it as a mark of pride, reminding himself and everyone that he will have his revenge on Optimus, who tried to have him executed for [[NobleDemon disagreeing with his methods]]. |
172 | * NominalHero: He really only fights for the Decepticons because he hates Optimus and the Autobots for betraying him, and because it lets him beat people up without getting punished for it. |
173 | * AScarToRemember: He has a deep gash across his front from when he was ambushed by his former friends. Given that it should be easy to repair, he's clearly keeping it as a reminder. It also slashes through his old Autobot symbol, symbolising that he's no longer one of them. |
174 | * {{Revenge}}: Looking for revenge against Optimus Prime. |
175 | * VillainousFriendship: He used to be friends with Drench and native Cliffjumper. However, Drench got executed by Prime [[VirtueIsWeakness for having too many virtues]], while Cliffjumper got killed during Sideswipe's own ambush. |
176 | |
177 | !!Sir Soundwave |
178 | |
179 | Soundwave is a Decepticon communications officer and self-proclaimed "morale officer". He has a personal squad of troops called "Recordicons". On Earth, he was knighted by the Queen of England for various heroic deeds, and now goes by moniker Sir Soundwave. |
180 | |
181 | %%* CommunicationsOfficer: His primary function. |
182 | * JiveTurkey: Even before visiting Earth, his speech pattern was very similar to old school DJ. |
183 | * KidAppealCharacter: WordOfGod says he's "the Decepticons' Bumblebee". |
184 | * MartialArtsHeadband: He acquires one once he arrives on Earth. The toy of him released at Botcon did not come with one, at first, much to fan distress. |
185 | %%* NoIndoorVoice |
186 | * ThePowerOfRock: He can turn rock music into a deadly weapon against the Autobots. |
187 | * ShoutOut: [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Talk:Sir_Soundwave#Is_he_a%2E%2E%2E Apparently he's a mix]] of Franchise/BillAndTed and Music/VanHalen. |
188 | %%* SurferDude |
189 | |

195 | * HonorBeforeReason: He's willing to stop the battle to let his enemy pick up a weapon he dropped. |
196 | |
197 | !!Starscream |
198 | |
199 | Starscream acts as Megatron's science officer as well as his loyal second-in-command. |
200 | |
201 | * AbsentMindedProfessor: Sometimes, he gets a bit too out of touch from the world, and would, instead of fighting, try to science his way out of battle. |
202 | * CoolPlane: Transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. |
203 | * TheCreon: While this Starscream is actually a capable leader, unlike his [[TheStarscream mainstream universe counterpart]], he is not interested in becoming the leader of the Decepticons, instead he's quite content with his position as Megatron's NumberTwo. |
204 | * DoomedHometown: The Crystal City. Optimus blew it up after Starscream refused his "offer" to join the Autobots. |
205 | * TheLeader: Becomes this to the Earth-bound Decepticons. |
206 | * IOweYouMyLife: Megatron saved him after Optimus had blown up Crystal City after refusing to join the Autobots. This is the reason Starscream is so loyal to him. |
207 | * NumberTwo: To Megatron. |
208 | * ShoutOut: His color scheme makes him look like G1 Jetfire. |
209 | * TeamMom: Or at least, he tries to be, always fussing worriedly about everyone being healthy and happy. In practice, though, his absent-minded professor nature means his social skills aren't ''quite'' up to the task. |
210 | * TomTheDarkLord: Inverted. His name is ''Starscream'', but he's one of the good guys. |
211 | * UndyingLoyalty: He displays extreme loyalty to Megatron, to the point it borders on zealotism. |
212 | |
213 | !!Terrorcons |
214 | The Decepticons' best [[CombiningMecha combiner team]], composed of five carefully selected scholars and entertainers and charged with protecting Cybertron's cultural works from the Autobots. |
215 | |
216 | * OneOfTheKids: Sinnertwin is commonly known to hang around with the children of many species. |
217 | * CombiningMecha: They combine into Abominus. |
218 | * CulturedBadass: They all are scholars and artists who preserve and value Cybertronian culture, and Abominus preserves and magnifies all of these qualities by five. |
219 | * DanceBattler: Abominus' combat maneuvers are based on Kalistian interpretive dance. |
220 | * HonestCorporateExecutive: Cutthroat used to be one of the best Cybertronian corporate moguls, running his business with morality, fairness and snappy slogans. When the Autobots destroyed his life work, he fell into HeroicBSOD until Blot's treatment managed to help him stay on level, and now he fights to stop the Autobots from spreading their destruction. |
221 | * InkblotTest: [[MeaningfulName Blot]] is known to perform these to determine the psychology of other Cybertronians. |
222 | * {{Narcissist}}: Rippersnapper is very full of himself. The whole reason he joined the Terrorcons is because Abominus was one of the few things that can fit his ego. |
223 | * NeatFreak: Blot believes that disordered residence leads to disordered mind, and as such his psychological tests begin with cleaning up the patient's living place. |
224 | * NoSell: Abominus can see through illusions and holograms easily. |
225 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: Hun-Grrr's altmode is an Algean two-headed razor beast, which are considered beasts of nobility on one of the planets he visited. |
226 | * PuppetShows: Sinnertwin's puppet shows are the most well-known across the beings of the entire galaxy, from children to the royalty. |
227 | * RedIsHeroic: Abominus uses G1!Computron's colors, which means he's mostly red. He is also a heroic preserver of the world's culture. |
228 | * SherlockScan: Abominus' "aesthetic sensonry net" allows him to determine the age, origin, value and authenticity of any object he sees, as well as allowing him to see through disguises and illusions. |
229 | * TerrorHero: Blot normally uses his ogre altmode for shock therapies, but in the battlefield he uses it against the Autobots to intimidate and demoralize them. |
230 | * WarriorPoet: Abominus, to the point that named himself after Iaconian poem. |
231 | * WarriorTherapist: Blot is one of the best Cybertronian therapists, and is also a very good fighter, able to use his "shock therapy treatment" against the Autobots. |
232 | |
233 | !!Treadshot |
234 | |
235 | Treadshot used to be a very close friend of Ultra Magnus. When Magnus decided to join the Autobots, Treadshot refused to go with him, and the two went their separate ways. The two now constantly try to kill each other instead. |
236 | |
237 | * ArchEnemy: To Ultra Magnus. He is ''obsessed'' with trying to kill him, and will stop at nothing to get a chance to have his revenge. |
238 | * CoolCar: Transforms into a sports car. |
239 | * FoeRomanceSubtext: Boy howdy. Their dialogue has the subtext of scorned exes. |
240 | * StalkerWithoutACrush: You wouldn't believe it by their dialogue, but his feelings towards Ultra Magnus are apparently murderous, not romantic. |
241 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: For Ultra Magnus. Treadshot figures that once he defeats Ultra Magnus he can move on. |
242 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Ultra Magnus used to be friendly rivals who worked under the mentorship of weapon masters Treble and Gain. Unfortunately, Ultra Magnus joined the Autobots, and Treadshot didn't want to go the same path. Now, all they want is to see each other dead. |
243 | |
244 | !!Thunderwing |
245 | |
246 | Thunderwing is a Special Agent in the Elite Guard, an ancient Cybertronian police force. |
247 | |
248 | * BystanderSyndrome: If a crime didn't happen on Cybertron, it's a war offence and belongs to the [=MPs=], not the peace officer like him. Therefore, he will not assist the Decepticons on Earth in fighting Autobots. |
249 | * ByTheBookCop: Taken to ridiculous levels; he tries to give full authorized punishment to anyone who committed crime on Cybertron… even if said crime happened ''four million years ago''. |
250 | * FelonyMisdemeanor: He was hunting down Soundwave for million years. Why? Because Soundwave accidentally hacked military channel while trying to use the civilian one, and then said profanity into it. |
251 | * InspectorJavert: He tried to arrest Soundwave for a crime that was committed ''four million years ago''. |
252 | * LawfulStupid: He never interferes with the war process, and, again, tries to arrest bots for crimes that happened millions years ago. |
253 | * ShoutOut: His personality is based on Joe Friday from ''Series/{{Dragnet}}''. |
254 | |

256 | |

258 | |
259 | * AffectionateNickname: Sideswipe calls him "his own Mini-Con", which Whisper sees as a sign of friendship. |
260 | * FireForgedFriends: When Sideswipe and Whisper were assigned together, the former Autobot wasn't fond of his new partner, until Whisper managed to prove himself by his loyalty and bravery. |
261 | * {{Keet}}: Very cheerful and excitable. |
262 | * NoIndoorVoice: He's ''very'' loud and noisy. |
263 | * NonindicativeName: "Whisper" is not a name that would suit extremely noisy bot. |
264 | |
265 | [[/folder]] |
266 | |
267 | [[folder:Mayhem Suppression Squad]] |
268 | One of Megatron's [[BadassCrew elite attack squads]], whose earnest enthusiasm tends to... worry their commander. They often serve as TheCavalry, as well as something of a RagtagBunchOfMisfits. |
269 | |
270 | !!Crasher |
271 | |
272 | Crasher is the leader of the Squad. |
273 | |
274 | * ActionGirl: An ass-kicking female Decepticon. |
275 | * ADayInTheLimelight: She is one of the main characters in "Coalescence" prose story. |
276 | * BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:Gets [[HumanPopsicle frozen]] by The Fallen and used as a "[[PoweredByAForsakenChild component]]" to power the multiversal portal.]] |
277 | * BrawnHilda: By the time the events of "Coalescence" start taking place, she upgrades herself to the new body with heavy patrol car alt-mode, not unlike that of Strongarm from ''Robots in Disguise''. |
278 | * ColonelBadass: She's a Mayhem Suppression Squad commander and is very capable of… crashing her enemies. |
279 | * FireForgedFriends: Befriends [[spoiler:Cyclonus]] over the course of "Coalescence" prose story. |
280 | * RoboFamily: She is Blurr's ''cousin''. |
281 | * ShockwaveStomp: Just like her [[WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGobots Gobot incarnation]], she can produce shockwaves by hitting the ground. However, she produces it with her fists, which makes her attack more of a shockwave ''punch''. [[spoiler:Her ability comes from her unique brain module structure, which has unique cyberoscillation that allows her to produce shockwave, and she later uses this ability to redirect the multiversal portal she was connected to into the void to allow others to banish The Fallen.]] |
282 | |
283 | !!!Bludgeon |
284 | |
285 | One of the more ''enthusiastic'' members of the Mayhem Suppression Squad. |

299 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His optimism almost borders on psychically unstable. |
300 | * CoolPlane: Transforms into a jet plane resembling F-15 but with delta-wing. |
301 | * DeepCoverAgent: [[spoiler:Also for Alpha Trion.]] |
302 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:As of the events of "[[GrandFinale Another Light]]" six-parter, he, just like Cyclonus, was forgiven by Galvatron and rejoined the Decepticons.]] |
303 | * ThePollyanna: Extremely optimistic no matter what, almost bordering on psychosis. [[spoiler:This optimism managed to ensure he won't feel any guilt over joining Alpha Trion and betraying the Decepticons for him.]] |
304 | * ShoutOut: So many at the same time… His robot color scheme is based on Beast Wars II Thrust, his Pretender shell is based on Descent Into Evil Dirge with the color scheme based on Descent Into Evil Chromia. |
305 | |
306 | !!!Thundercracker |

328 | * ThirdPersonPerson: "Enemy shall be avenged!" |

332 | Frenzy is usually very calm and friendly, but can be ''extremely'' dangerous when angered. |
333 | |
334 | * TheBerserker: He's capable of bursting into extreme rage, which makes him a threat even to the larger bots. |
335 | * {{Expy}}: Personality-wise, he's based on David Banner of ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977''. |

351 | |
352 | * CatsAreMean: He's a cat-bot, and he's a grumpy sort. |
353 | * DrJerk: His bedside manner sucks. Though given it's [[TooDumbToLive Ravage]] he's dealing with… |
354 | * TheNicknamer: Calls Ravage female names like Dorothy or Tiffany. |
355 | * ShoutOut: He ''is'' a robotic cat version of Dr. Cox from ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''. |
356 | |
357 | !!Howlback |
358 | |
359 | Another cassette catbot, who works under Commissioner Garboil |
360 | |
361 | * ShoutOut: Vaguely fills the role of Renee Montoya in the ''Recordicons'' re-enactment of ''Batman: The Animated Series''. |
362 | |
363 | !!Laserbeak |
364 | |
365 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Initially, in the April Fools comic, he had Energon!Divebomb body mold and was colored like Armada!Laserbeak, and he had [[BreathWeapon fire breath]]. However, all subsequent appearances had him resemble his classical G1 self with Ramhorn's colors. Come ''Recordicons'', he's got hipster glasses. |
366 | * {{Hipster}}: He refuses to be a part of the crowd and always wants to be out of the masses. Heck, he even comes with hipster glasses. Once, he was horrified to learn Ravage inspired one of his favourite songs, and declares that from then on, he shall only listen to it "ironically". |
367 | |
368 | !!Ratbat/Batbot |
369 | |
370 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Initially written as being a self-help guru, to contrast original Ratbat's economic mindset. Then David Willis got his mitts on him, and the rest is history. |
371 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: By day, Ratbat is your average Cybertronian layabout businessman. By night, he is vigilante crime fighter known as Batbot. |
372 | * PaperThinDisguise: He's the only bat-shaped cassette bot around, yet nobody seems to notice Ratbat ''is'' Batbot. |
373 | * SecretIdentity: By night, he goes by Batbot. |
374 | * SherlockScan: Ratbat can determine the mood of anyone nearby. |
375 | * ShoutOut: He's an homage to Franchise/{{Batman}}. Not surprising, given Recordicons is written by David Willis, known for his fondness for Batman jokes. |
376 | * StealthHiBye: It doesn't really work if you're still looking at him, though. |
377 | |
378 | !!Ravage |
379 | |
380 | An adorable cat-like Decepticon with a penchant for playing games and chatting on the internet with humans (and anyone else who will listen). |
381 | |
382 | * AscendedMeme: Started out as a Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}} joke that quickly took off, getting him turned into an official character and [[BreakoutCharacter even eventually having his own Willis-penned back-up strip series in the official Club Magazine]]. |
383 | * CharacterBlog: Has his own [[http://twitter.com/ravagekitteh Twitter]], [[http://www.formspring.me/sgravage Formspring]], and [[http://www.facebook.com/people/Ravage-Sg/1178801320 Facebook]] pages, both in-world and in the real world. |
384 | * CharacterTic: Waving! |
385 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's basically a living LOLCat who speaks almost entirely in memes. |
386 | * CuteKitten: He's an adorable and excitable cat-like Recordicon. |
387 | * FriendlyEnemy: [[BlatantLies Steeljaw is like totally his BFF!]] When he says he wants to tear Ravage into little pieces once he's done with his nap, he's just playing, really! |
388 | * InsaneTrollLogic: The reason Ravage thinks that Steeljaw is is friend is because Steeljaw [[NoodleIncident once ate Enemy's body]], and [[{{Metaphorgotten}} the enemy of Enemy is a friend]]. |
389 | * {{Keet}}: In an inversion of the dark, brooding, grumpy Ravage, he is loud, cheerful and enthusiastic. |
390 | * OddFriendship: He's [=BFFs=] with the Autobot Rosanna (which is why one of her songs is called "Look At Me Waving"). |
391 | * SocialMediaBeforeReason: Not only does he give his location away on his Yatter account, he's prone to taking selfies and sending them to his enemies to let them know that he's sneaking up on them. He's also hospitalized himself for driving while texting, much to Glit's irritation. |
392 | |
393 | !!Rumble |
394 | |
395 | Rumble is Frenzy's brother and ''was'' one of Soundwave's troops, until he was captured by the Autobots. His current fate is ''unknown'', though considering he was last seen tied up and about to be dropped into the Autobots' Smelting Pool, he's probably not in good shape… |
396 | ---- |
397 | * SacrificialLamb: Was introduced about to be thrown into a Smelting Pool, and to show Cliffjumper how depraved the Autobots were. A questionably canonical Recordicons comic suggests that he [[LosingYourHead survives as a severed but still-living head]]. |

409 | !!!Sephie Beller/[[spoiler:Emulator]] |
410 | |
411 | -> Remember Circuit Breaker from [[ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel the Marvel Comics continuity]]? Here's her counterpart. And yes, she loves machines (though not in the "shipping" sense...) |
412 | |
413 | * CuteGlassesGirl: Even when she wears fanservice-y getups, she still keeps the glasses. |
414 | * {{Cyborg}}: [[spoiler:She ends up becoming part-machine.]] |
415 | * PerkyGoth: She has black hair and dresses in black, but is hardly gloomy and pessimistic. |
416 | * PowerParasite: [[spoiler:She can gain the powers of Transformers within range.]] |
417 | * ProHumanTranshuman: [[spoiler:Of the "shepherd" variety.]] |
418 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her [[spoiler:costume as Emulator]] is not as much so as her normalverse counterpart, but [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Transhuman_Emulator.jpg still pretty fanservicey]]. |
419 | * WritingAroundTrademarks: To get around copyright restrictions caused by Creator/MarvelComics retaining the rights to her original counterpart, this continuity's version of Ms. Beller has Sephie as her given name (which, like Josie, can be a shortened form of the name Jospehine), is depicted with black hair as opposed to reddish-blonde hair, wears glasses and [[spoiler:has her codename being Emulator]]. |
420 | |
421 | !!!William "Will" Hayes |
422 | |
423 | -> Although Will originally signed up to be Arkeville's intern for college prep purposes, he eventually became friends with the Decepticons. He also has an almost insatiable appetite. |

430 | !!!Frederick "Rick" Ottman |

433 | |
434 | * MythologyGag: He's Fred, from Anime/TransformersArmada, but with Billy's build. |
435 | * ShoutOut: "Rick" is a nickname: for "Frederick". He's named after pro wrestler Fred Ottman, best known as Typhoon, Tugboat, and the infamous Shock Master. |

438 | [[/folder]] |
439 | |
440 | !![[color:purple:Autobot Characters and Subfactions]] |
441 | -> The Autobots were created when a librarian named Optronix grew ambitious and starting trying to climb his way up through the ranks, gathering a group of followers to him by preaching improving the Cybertronian race through conflict and conquest. They improved themselves physically--including Optronix becoming the powerful Optimus Prime--and eventually seized control of the planet via a coup. |
442 | |
443 | [[folder:[[color:purple:Main Autobots]]]] |
444 | !!![[color:purple:Optimus Prime]] |
445 | |
446 | -> Optimus Prime is the Autobots' evil, sadistic and tyrannical leader. Cruel and ambitious, his plans fall nothing short of universal conquest. |
447 | |
448 | * AxCrazy: Back when he was Optronix, he discovered something so terrible, it destroyed his mind, which left him unhinged till a point he even lashes out to his most loyal of followers. |
449 | * BadassBookworm: He started out as a lowly data clerk named Optronix who was able to backstab his way up through the ranks. Also when he faced opposition form the Decepticons led by Megatron, who was the one to invent the transforming technology in this setting, Optimus was smart enough to reverse engineer it. |
450 | * BadBoss: Played with. He treats the competent and loyal Autobots relatively well, but too many failures or if you try to overthrow him, you're dead. If you're lucky. And then there are times in which he needs a handy shield. |
451 | * {{BFS}}: Acquires one eventually. |
452 | * BigBad: And he's pretty brutal about it, too. Eventually, Rodimus succeeds in overthrowing him. |
453 | %%* CastingAShadow |
454 | %%* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. |
455 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Per his creators, he's still voiced by Creator/PeterCullen, just using a more malevolent voice... like [[WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983 Venger]]. |
456 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Similar to almost every incarnation of Megatron, any politeness is merely an act to keep his troops on side -- though he ''does'' have one or two genuine friendships [[VillainousFriendship with his comrades]]. |
457 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Optronix was just a lowly data clerk. Optimus Prime is a brutal warlord. |
458 | * GeniusBruiser: He might not be a scientific expert, but he's an amazing strategist, effective if brutal leader and cunning to a fault. |
459 | * GoMadFromTheRevelation: He was once coldly logical... until one day he just went mad, and no-one knows why. |
460 | %%* HeelFaceTurn |
461 | * KnightOfCerebus: His appearance makes the ''Shattered Glass'' series darker. |
462 | %%* LargeHam: And ''how''! |
463 | * NeverRecycleYourSchemes: Averted, much to the surprise of Cliffjumper, who'd [[LampshadeHanging never heard of a villain trying something twice]]! |
464 | * ObviouslyEvil: He's black and purple, which should be a big hint this is not the regular Optimus. |
465 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: He considers his rivalry with Megatron to be a personal vendetta. When he finds out Megatron [[spoiler: has been killed before he could have the chance]], he is not happy. |
466 | * PimpDuds: His coloration is loosely evocative of this concept. |
467 | * RiddlefortheAges: One day Optimus saw...something that turned him from cool, calculating leader to insane, dangerous maniac. Whatever it was has never been revealed and probably never will be. |
468 | * TheSocialDarwinist: His whole philosophy is that the powerful should rule and the weak obey. |
469 | * TearOffYourFace: Does this to Ultra Magnus, in what is almost certainly a ShoutOut to the live-action film Optimus' "Give me your face!" quote. |
470 | |
471 | !!![[color:purple:Alpha Trion]] |
472 | |
473 | -> Alpha Trion, the Old One, is from a universe where the Decepticons were defeated long ago. He often acts like a kind and wise bot, but not everything is as it appears. |
474 | |
475 | * ArtifactOfDoom: Alpha Trion wields a sword that he claims was once wielded by a warrior named Slaughter, whose personality was supposedly integrated into the weapon itself. [[spoiler: This was pretty much a lie Trion used to ultimately betray Skyfall.]] |
476 | %%* AxCrazy |
477 | %%* BeardOfEvil |
478 | * EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: The revelation of his true nature occurs in ''Transcendent: Part 6''.]] |
479 | %%* EvilOldFolks |
480 | * EvilWeapon: He claims his sword has the ability to take over whomever wields it. [[spoiler: Once again, this is a big fat fib.]] |
481 | %%* FauxAffablyEvil |
482 | %%* ManipulativeBastard |
483 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: One of the first signs that he's not a trustworthy sort is his blue eyes turn red. [[spoiler:Then he skewers Skyfall.]] |
484 | |
485 | !!![[color:purple:Arcee]] |
486 | |
487 | -> Arcee is a victim of great madness. Like a marionette she often stands limp off in a corner, until she jumps into a fight, firing her neutronic crossbow and moving like a rag doll brought to life. |

502 | |
503 | !!![[color:purple:Big Daddy]] |
504 | |
505 | -> Big Daddy is one of the older Autobots, who lives up to his name by being a calm and pleasantly paternal figure. He likes to watch over the younger bots and make sure they're in good spirits, |
506 | |
507 | * AFatherToHisMen: Big Daddy doesn't appear to be in a command position per se, but he's still a paternal figure among the Autobot ranks as befitting his name. |
508 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's an "evil Bing Crosby". |
509 | |
510 | !!![[color:purple:Blaster]] |
511 | |
512 | -> Blazter is the Autobot communications expert. He enjoys earth's classical music and uses it as a sonic weapon. Like Soundwave, he too has a group of cassettes, though he's also often seen commanding the Scrounges as well. |
513 | |
514 | %%* CommunicationsOfficer |
515 | * DrillSergeantNasty: Blaster loves to berate and mistreat his Scrounges. |
516 | %%* FunetikAksent |
517 | %%* ThePowerOfRock: Or rather Mozart. |
518 | * WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: [[WordOfGod According to]] writer Greg "M Sipher" Sepelak, [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Talk:Blaster_%28SG%29 it's a "ridiculous" accent]]. |
519 | |
520 | !!![[color:purple:Crosshairs]] |
521 | -> Crosshairs' is a slothful and lazy Autobot who would much rather do nothing at all, and rarely fights. |

531 | %%* DarkActionGirl |
532 | %%* {{Lzherusskie}} |
533 | |
534 | !!![[color:purple:Hoist]] |
535 | |
536 | -> Hoist repairs are shoddy at best, and jury-rigged at worst. Still, if you can't afford Fixit's rates, he's better than being one of Ratchet's "patients". |
537 | |
538 | * BackAlleyDoctor |
539 | |
540 | !!![[color:purple:Hound]] |
541 | |
542 | -> Hound often proclaims himself as the "Master Of Fear", using his Psycho-Projector to cause people to hallucinate of the victims worst nightmares and become incapacitated. |
543 | |
544 | * FantasticRacism: In a counterpoint to G1 Hound's TinMan nature, SG Hound is at once hateful towards and fearful of organics, particularly humans. |
545 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's so afraid of humans he deliberately jumped ship when Rodimus made his coup, rather than risk going to Earth. |
546 | |
547 | !!![[color:purple:Huffer]] |
548 | |
549 | -> Huffer is an amiable, ever-smiling optimist. He is very unusual for an Autobot as a result. |

551 | %%* AffablyEvil |
552 | %%* ThePollyanna |
553 | |
554 | !!![[color:purple:Jazz]] |

561 | !!![[color:purple:Mirage]] |
562 | |
563 | -> Mirage once used his natural state of invisibility to rob banks until Optimus Prime finally took notice of him and had him sent to Ratchet. Now he has the "gift" of permanent partial transparency. |
564 | |
565 | %%* BankRobbery |
566 | %%* TheNondescript |
567 | |
568 | !!![[color:purple:Nightbeat]] |
569 | |

573 | * DirtyCop: Both physically and morally. |
574 | * SecretPolice: He's the one in charge. Nyeah! |
575 | * UndyingLoyalty: One of the few 'bots who's genuinely ''loyal'' to Optimus. Nyeah, that's right! Too loyal! Got him kicked off the ''Ark'' by that punk Rodimus, see! |
576 | * VerbalTic: Nyeah, Nightbeat sounds like Edward G. Robinson, see! |
577 | |
578 | !!![[color:purple:Omega Doom]] |

584 | %%* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver |
585 | |
586 | !!![[color:purple:Ratchet]] |
587 | |
588 | -> Ratchet is the Autobots' "medic". Optimus Prime sometimes sends wounded Autobots to him, but not for repairs. They are sent to him for punishment, mostly to receive unnecessary "upgrades". |
589 | |
590 | * AffablyEvil: Ratchet just wants to make everybody more exciting and interesting with his crazy modifications, and genuinely can't understand why nobody ever shares his opinion on the matter. |
591 | * AlienArtsAreAppreciated: Took a fondness for some human music he heard during ''Blitzwing Bop''. |
592 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Oh, he'll repair people. But he can't help but make them more "interesting" while he does so. |
593 | * ChainsawGood: Gave Rodimus one once; Rodimus did not seem very amused. |
594 | * CombatMedic: Though not one ''I'd'' ever recommend seeing. |

596 | %%* ForScience |
597 | * HeelFaceTurn |

603 | |
604 | %%* AxCrazy |
605 | %%* TheBrute |
606 | * CharacterDeath: Being Optimus' bodyguard was never going to be good for his long-term health, but during a coup, Optimus uses him as a living shield when Warpath takes a shot at him. |
607 | * LovesTheSoundOfScreaming |
608 | * RoboFamily: He's brothers with Jazz, and Stepper. |
609 | * TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: His deathtrap for Megatron is impressively overdesigned. Not one, not two, but ''five'' different deathtraps put together. |

611 | |
612 | !!![[color:purple:Scoop]] |

619 | |
620 | !!![[color:purple:Scrounges]] |
621 | |
622 | -> When the Autobots need drones to do the dirty work, they call in the Scrounges. Silver colored drones who all possess a "war wheel" alternate mode, they're powerful in numbers, and easily expendable. |
623 | |
624 | * CannonFodder: Blaster really wishes they were. |
625 | * MythologyGag: When introduced, they do a version of the Rifleman's Creed, only it's about their arms. G1 Scrounge's claim to fame was his "special arm". There was no other like it. |
626 | |
627 | !!![[color:purple:Seaspray]] |
628 | |
629 | -> Seaspray is fascinated by Earth's oceans and is known for reporting every detail of them whenever possible to his fellow Autobots. |

632 | |
633 | !!![[color:purple:Side Burn]] |
634 | |
635 | -> Side Burn is diligent and devoted to the Autobot cause, but some Autobots have difficulty trusting him. |
636 | |
637 | * AffablyEvil: While not quite ''nice'', exactly, he does seem to lack the bloodthirsty and capriciously cruel nature of the average Autobot, and even seems to like the humans. |
638 | %%* DeepCoverAgent: [[spoiler:For the Underbase]] |
639 | %%* EnergyBeings |
640 | %%* AFormYouAreComfortableWith |
641 | * MadeOfIron: Has a disturbing tendency to survive without a scratch what should have been fatal or crippling injuries, an ability which even the other Autobots find suspicious. |
642 | * NotDistractedByTheSexy: Red sports cars hold no sway for this Side Burn. |
643 | |
644 | !!![[color:purple:Sky Lynx]] |

657 | |
658 | !!![[color:purple:Tailgate]] |
659 | |
660 | -> Unlike many of the other Autobots, Tailgate loves humans, though in the way that someone would love a gerbil, dog, or cat. He ends up "adopting" Butch as his "pet human". |

694 | * GoingNative[=/=]GoodFeelsGood: [[spoiler:Decepticon Broadcasting Network's Esmeral and Monstructor gave Punch a chance to work with DBN. Given Monstructor was a nicer boss "than that crusted crankshaft, Countdown" (Monstructor made Punch feel a lot better about himself), Punch felt he couldn't turn them down.]] |

712 | !!![[color:purple:Steeljaw]] |
713 | |
714 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: The fact he apparently reduced Enemy to just a head suggests he can be dangerous... if he feels like it. |
715 | * BrilliantButLazy: He genuinely can kick your skidplate. It's just too much work for him to ever get around to it. |
716 | * FriendlyEnemy: One-sided with Ravage, on Ravage's part. Ravage adores him, but Steeljaw claims he wants to eviscerate Ravage but just hasn't gotten the motivation to get off his lazy backside and do so. |
717 | * LazyBum: What with being a cat and all. He'd much rather just snooze. |
718 | * PantheraAwesome: He's a lion. Although the awesome is downplayed by his fondness for long, long, ''long'' naps. |

725 | [[folder:[[color:purple:Seekers]]]] |
726 | -> An elite attack squad composed of Autobots with various sportscar altmodes and black color schemes. Drench used to be their leader until Optimus had him assassinated for being too "soft". Optimus suspected former member Sideswipe disagreed with the act and also attempted to assassinate him, which caused Sideswipe to defect to the Decepticons. Now Rodimus, himself a former Wrecker, leads the squad. |
727 | |
728 | !!![[color:purple:Rodimus]] |
729 | |

733 | * HookHand: It's a buzzsaw, but it's in the same spirit. |
734 | * PragmaticVillainy: The Witwicky brothers convince him to change from the "loot and pillage" method of villainy to the "mob boss" method, as it will let the resources renew to be stolen over and over again. |
735 | * TheStarscream: To Optimus Prime. |
736 | |
737 | !!![[color:purple:Blurr]] |
738 | |
739 | -> Blurr is a data interceptor for Optimus, and just as fast on his feet as he is on his wheels. He's the cousin of Crasher, the leader of the Decepticons' own BadassCrew. |

748 | |
749 | -> Goldbug was once a shiftless drifter named Bumblebee. A sneak, a pickpocket, and blackmailer. When he joined Optimus Prime's brutal Autobot forces, his bravery put him on the fast track to power, and Bumblebee was quickly rebuilt as Goldbug. |

804 | |
805 | !!Other Characters |
806 | |
807 | [[folder:Dinobots/Cons]] |
808 | -> The Dinobots & Dinocons were created in a chain of events that amounted to an unwitting joint venture between the Decepticons and Autobots. Grimlock was initially created by Starscream, but deactivated when he proved to be too dimwitted and violent, then was stolen by Optimus Prime. He then in turn was hijacked by Wheeljack, who reverse engineered Grimlock's AI matrix and created a horde of other Dinobots in an attempt to attack Optimus Prime. When the attack failed, the Dinobots scattered and were eventually recaptured by other sides, then even later were granted [[OurSoulsAreDifferent embers]] and full life by a mysterious computer. Half the Dinobots now follow Grimlock and Optimus, while the other half are now "Dinocons" and follow Megatron, having been reprogrammed by Starscream to be a bit smarter and nicer. |
809 | |
810 | !!![[color:purple:Grimlock]] |
811 | |
812 | -> Grimlock was created in a Decepticon lab by Megatron to be a warrior who would help the Decepticons, but Megatron ordered his deactivation after his violent tendencies emerged. He was put into storage never to be awakened again. However, when Optimus Prime heard of his creation, he stole Grimlock and reactivated him. |
813 | |
814 | * AscendedExtra / CanonImmigrant: The intelligent version was initially intended solely for the April Fool's comic, but fans loved it so much it was later applied to the canon version. |
815 | * GeniusBruiser: After acquiring intelligence. If properly agitated, he can regress to his bestial state, though. |
816 | * {{Hulkspeak}}: How he starts off as, and what he lapses into when he turns back into his T-Rex mode. |
817 | * MythologyGag: Similar to his G1 counterpart, SG Grimlock also tends to pepper his speech with "I, Grimlock." |
818 | * VerbalTic: After gaining intelligence, tends to add "Wot?" at the end of his sentences (possibly in a ShoutOut to [[ComicBook/DeathsHead a certain Freelance Peacekeeping Agent from G1]], yes?) |
819 | |
820 | !!![[color:purple:Swoop]] |
821 | |
822 | -> Swoop is a joyful, friendly Dinobot who wishes to be everyone's friend. |
823 | |
824 | * AffablyEvil: Swoop really really likes everybody and just wants to be your friend! He's very genuinely sorry he has orders to kidnap you or possibly kill you, as he'd really rather [[AndCallHimGeorge hug you and love you and call you George]]. |
825 | |
826 | !!![[color:red:Goryu]] |
827 | |
828 | -> Goryu is typical for a Dinobot in any universe. Big and dumb, he is now in custody of the heroic Decepticons. |
829 | |
830 | * DumbMuscle: Like all of the Dinocons, Goryu isn't a bright bot even after Starscream's neural upgrades |
831 | * MeaningfulName: Goryu has a horn: and he really, really wants to gore you. |
832 | |
833 | !!![[color:red:Overkill]] |
834 | |
835 | -> Like Goryu, Overkill used to be a typical Dinobot. And also like Goryu, was eventually captured by the Decepticons and reprogrammed by Starscream. |
836 | |
837 | * DumbMuscle |
838 | |
839 | !!![[color:red:Slugfest]] |
840 | |
841 | -> Slugfest thinks highly of himself, but relies on his larger allies to take care of, and protect him. He seems very thankful for the neural upgrades Starscream gave him and the other Dinocons. |
842 | |
843 | %%* DumbMuscle |
844 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Slugfest has a very high opinion of himself. |

853 | |
854 | %%* AxCrazy: Is he ever. |
855 | * {{BFS}}: The Terminus Blade, as in the only thing capable of operating the Omega Terminus. |
856 | * FacialHorror: Of the TearOffYourFace variety, inflicted by Optimus. |
857 | * FoeRomanceSubtext: With Treadshot. He was ''thrilled'' when he saw the latter was coming after him for a fight, and their exchanges have a vague lover-scorned subtext to them. |
858 | %%* TheStarscream: For Optimus. |
859 | |
860 | |
861 | !!!Wheelie, the Barbarian-Lord |
862 | |

866 | * TheGhost: Mentioned, but never seen. |
867 | * LargeAndInCharge: Mentioned by Sky-Lynx's profile to be pretty big. Not to mention, he's a barbarian ''lord''. |
868 | * RhymesOnADime: Implied, given Sky-Lynx's long-standing fear of rhymes. Plus, it is Wheelie. |
869 | |
870 | [[/folder]] |
871 | |
872 | [[folder:Nexus Prime]] |
873 | |
874 | -> A mysterious [[CombiningMecha combiner]] that's a LiteralSplitPersonality, formed after his components from [[Anime/UnicronTrilogy various]] [[ComicBook/TransformersClassics other]] [[ComicBook/TransformersTransTech universes]] visit this one. Namely, when the four visitors meet up with their fifth member [[spoiler:Heatwave]], try to [[spoiler:resurrect the recently assassinated Megatron]] with their powers, and end up talking to [[spoiler:Primus]] instead. |

887 | %%* ThePollyanna |
888 | |
889 | !!!Landquake |
890 | -> Landquake has always been an unusual Decepticon at best. While he does possess a 'Con-like pragmatic craftiness, interest in battle, and instinctive distrust of anyone other than himself and his friends, he finds the constant in-fighting and bloodthirsty selfishness of the faction wearying. He also possesses a mastery of energon that some say goes past the capabilities of the Omnicons and Terrorcons, to almost supernatural levels of power. He can shape it in any number of ways, ranging from forging weapons and shielding (even against explosions) to powering his own systems, all with a touch of his hands, or sometimes with telekinetic force alone. |
891 | |
892 | %%* TheEeyore |

897 | |
898 | -> Originally an inhabitant of the planet Velocitron in the ''Anime/UnicronTrilogy'' universe, he took up the role of lone explorer after realizing he lacked the obsession with racing that his fellow planet-mates had. He spent his time charting distant star systems in his ship, until he met up with Ramjet and Landquake and discovered he had a greater destiny. An overwhelming inescapable feeling that he's linked to a mystery haunts him wherever he goes, though he quests on regardless of his unease at the things he discovers. |
899 | |
900 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Having been killed by Alpha Trion back in the [[ComicBook/TransformersTransTech TransTech]] dimension, he's brought back to life when Nexus Prime is recreated.]] |
901 | %%* TheHero |
902 | * OnlySaneMan: Seems to be the most "normal" of the group, and tends to find his whole quest, the dimensions they've been traveling through, and his fellow combiner mates, all ''really'' weird and strange. |
903 | |
904 | !!![[spoiler:Heatwave]] |
905 | * See his earlier entry. |
906 | |
907 | !!!Topspin |
908 | %%* TheBigGuy |
909 | * GrandTheftMe: Kind of, in that while he doesn't steal bodies himself, he does help others steal bodies by swapping people's [[OurSoulsAreDifferent sparks]] around. |

912 | [[folder:General]] |
913 | !!!Aquarius |
914 | |
915 | -> A Quintesson who ends up helping the Decepticons as well as [[spoiler:members of the [[TimeAbyss ancient]] [[LiteralSplitPersonality combiner]] that Heatwave is also a member of]]. |
916 | |
917 | * MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Most other Quintessons prefer to hang back and not get involved in other species's affairs. Aquarius thinks this is a total drag, man. |
918 | %%* NewAgeRetroHippie |
919 | * ShoutOut: His five faces are those of Buddha, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, John Lennon, and Jerry Garcia, representing Joy, Compassion, Peace, Love, and Satisfaction |
920 | ** TheSixties: A living shout out to the counterculture movement of that decade, man. Just look at his names and faces-- it's, like, far out, y'know? |
921 | ** Satisfaction also resembles [[Series/TheMuppetShow Dr. Teeth]]. |
922 | |
923 | !!!R. J. Blackrock |
924 | |
925 | -> The human CEO of a major Earth oil company, who ends up employing Sephie in his R&D department. |
926 | |
927 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: [[spoiler:He uses his company to build technology he can use for shady doings.]] |
928 | * PlayingBothSides: [[spoiler:It turns out his goal is to wipe out both the Autobots and the Decepticons.]] |
929 | * ShoutOut: The initials R.J. for an oil baron suggest another devious oil baron with the initials [[Series/{{Dallas}} J.R.]] |
930 | |

940 | |
941 | !!!Unicron |
942 | |
943 | --> Rather than the PlanetEater GodOfEvil, Unicron is the God of extropy, and is the fragment of Unicron's good becoming dominant. |
944 | ---- |
945 | * CainAndAbelAndSeth: He is actually the Seth to Primus' Cain and Gaia's Abel. |
946 | * BenevolentBoss: Rather than the BadBoss behavior Unicron is known for (such as [[MindRape mind raping]] Galvatron into submission, this Unicron goes out of his way to warn his soldiers of Primus, his evil brother. |
947 | * BigGood: Rather than the GreaterScopeVillain of his positive-polarity selves, he is the God of extropy, seeking to enlighten individuals rather than leading them to destruction. This is how he pulls a HeelFaceTurn on [[spoiler:Optimus Prime by enlightening him, and turning him into Nova Prime]]. |
948 | * OpenMindedParent: When he denied Heatwave and his team from going on missions, the latter disobeys his others. Unicron however anticipated this, and allowed them to seek their own destiny. |
949 | |
950 | !!!Primus |
951 | |
952 | --> The God of Order. Specifically, ''his'' order. Rather than the benevolent god of the Cybertronians, he seeks to destroy those who does not fit his view of order. |
953 | ---- |
954 | |
955 | * CainAndAbel: He is the Cain this time. He fights his sister Gaia to the death. |
956 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Cyberton is his body who laid dormant for years until Rodimus finds his face. |
957 | * DeathByIrony: Just like Unicron from ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'', his body is destroyed and reduces him to a head. |
