7!Decepticon Characters and Subfactions
8In 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.
9
10[[folder:Main Decepticons]]
11!!Megatron
12
13Megatron was a young mathematician who lectured at a university on Cybertron. However, he noticed something disturbing, civil war was coming.

24* 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.]]
25* AFatherToHisMen: He greatly cares about his Decepticons; a far cry from his mainstream universe version.

27%%* GentlemanAndAScholar
28* GentlemanSnarker: Despite his gentle nature, he's not above being snarky when facing enemies.
29* LightningLash: [[spoiler:As Galvatron, he's got an electro-whip built in.]]
30* NiceGuy: Megatron is kind, gentle, and cares about all sentient beings. [[NotMakingThisupDisclaimer No, you didn't misread.]] This is indeed a MirrorUniverse.

42
43!!Blitzwing

48* CoolPlane[=/=]TankGoodness: He's a Triple Changer who transforms into a fighter jet and a tank.
49* FriendToAllLivingThings: Greatly cares about all sentient beings. In fact, once he even got worried about damaging the desert ecosystem with his tank-treads.
50* LoudOfWar: Accidentally becomes a conduit for broadcasting lethally annoying music to the Autobots at one point. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the ability grew in power and started broadcasting the music to the Decepticons, and it continued growing until it would become [[BrownNote truly lethal]].]]
51* NiceGuy: He's very friendly and easygoing.
52* TheQuietOne: He's one of the quieter Decepticons.

57

59* TranquilizerDart: He can fire anestho-shells to sedate his victims.
60* WarriorTherapist: Even though he's a psychologist, he's not above into going in battle lines.
61
62!!Cliffjumper
63
64This 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.
65
66* BerserkButton: Traitors among ranks piss him off. [[spoiler:Which is why he hated Cyclonus the most after the latter's pardon.]]
67* BloodKnight: He really loves fighting.
68* 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).
69* {{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.
70* 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.
71* 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.]]
72* 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.
73* MetaGuy: Coming from the positive polarity universe, he's really aware of differences between normal and ''Shattered Glass'' universes.
74* 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.
75* TrappedInAnotherWorld: He gets sent from his home universe to the ''Shattered Glass'' one, with no way back.
76
77!!Constructicons
78
79Constructicons are the Decepticon medics and builders.
80
81* TheEngineer: They aren't called Constructicons for nothing; they are the ones who build and construct stuff.
82* 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.
83
84!!Cyclonus
85
86Cyclonus 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.]]
87
88* ADayInTheLimelight: He's the main character in "Coalescence" prose story.
89* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Seeks to atone for his betrayal and murder of Megatron.]]

91%%* DeepCoverAgent: [[spoiler:For Alpha Trion.]]
92%%* EquippableAlly: His Targetmaster partner Krunix.
93* FireForgedFriends: [[spoiler:Befriended Darkwing and Crasher in "Coalescence" over the course of their adventure.]]
94* 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.]]
95* LateArrivalSpoiler: [[spoiler:In "Coalescence", the story makes no attempts to hide the fact he assassinated Megatron.]]
96* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Krunix, post-redemption.]]
97* 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.]]
98* ReformedButRejected: [[spoiler:Even though Galvatron forgave him, ''none'' of other Decepticons did. Especially the traitor-hating Cliffjumper.]]
99* TheRival: To Ultra Magnus. It's why he joined the Decepticons.
100* UnknownRival: Ultra Magnus himself doesn't seem to be aware of him and his vendetta against him.
101
102!!Demolishor
103* DeepCoverAgent: For the Underbase.
104* 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.]]
105* 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.]]
106* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:His death served as a reminder that Underbase staff are too merely pawns in The Fallen's game.]]
107* ShapeshifterModeLock: He is actually a sentient probe made of Transformium, yet he got locked in Cybertronian mode with the others.
108* TankGoodness: His alt-mode is the anti-air tank.
109
110!!Divebomb

114* EyeBeams: He can fire laser beams from his optics.
115* NobleBirdOfPrey: Transforms into an eagle.
116* StepfordSmiler: Masks him depression with cheerful behavior, so others won't be affected by his true feelings.

118!!Heatwave
119
120Heatwave is a cheerful engineer with the unique ability to converse with non-sentient machines.
121
122* AllLovingHero: In regards to technology. He can be stopped by someone holding a computer hostage (provided Heatwave likes that computer, of course).
123* 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.
124%%* TheEngineer
125* 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]].]]
126* MysteriousPast: A large chunk of his memory is missing. He's not bothered by it in the slightest.
127* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Really Seven Billion Years Old, being as he is [[spoiler:part of Nexus Prime.]]
128* 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.]]
129* TheSmartGuy: [[spoiler:See "Nexus Prime".]]
130* {{Technopath}}: With shades of FurryConfusion, as he treats non-sentient machines as if they ''were'' sentient.
131* WeDoTheImpossible: His profile quote. Heatwave has a knack for breaking into unbreakable systems, including those with no means of interface.
132
133!!Rampage
134
135Rampage is known for constantly and tirelessly working, not stopping for anything in order to help the cause.
136
137* 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.
138* PantheraAwesome: Transforms into a tiger.
139
140!!Razorclaw
141
142Formerly 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.
143
144* 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* TeamDad: To Divebomb and Rampage.
147
148!!Shockwave
149
150Shockwave 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.
151
152* ArmCannon: His left hand is replaced with one. He also features cannons on his right hand.
153* CyberCyclops: Wouldn't be Shockwave if he weren't this trope.
154* FriendToAllLivingThings: Kind and gentle to every sentient being.
155* 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).
156* TakingTheBullet: He took a missile Seaspray fired at Sephie, Decepticons' human ally, and nearly died because of that.
157* TechnicalPacifist: Even though he really dislikes fighting, he still can defend himself and shoot a hole in an Autobot if necessary.
158
159!!Sideswipe
160
161Sideswipe 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.
162
163%%* AntiHero: Type V, see NominalHero.
164%%* BloodKnight
165* CainAndAbel: His brother, Sunstreaker, is still a loyal Autobot.
166* {{Expy}}:
167** 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.
168** 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.
169* HeelFaceTurn: Used to be an Autobot until Optimus Prime set an ambush to get him killed.
170* 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]].
171* 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.
172* 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.
173* {{Revenge}}: Looking for revenge against Optimus Prime.
174* 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.
175
176!!Sir Soundwave
177
178Soundwave 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.

181* JiveTurkey: Even before visiting Earth, his speech pattern was very similar to old school DJ.
182* KidAppealCharacter: WordOfGod says he's "the Decepticons' Bumblebee".
183* 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.
184%%* NoIndoorVoice
185* ThePowerOfRock: He can turn rock music into a deadly weapon against the Autobots.
186* 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.

197
198Starscream acts as Megatron's science officer as well as his loyal second-in-command.
199
200* 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.
201* CoolPlane: Transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter.
202* 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.
203* DoomedHometown: The Crystal City. Optimus blew it up after Starscream refused his "offer" to join the Autobots.
204* TheLeader: Becomes this to the Earth-bound Decepticons.
205* 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.
206* NumberTwo: To Megatron.
207* ShoutOut: His color scheme makes him look like G1 Jetfire.
208* 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.
209* TomTheDarkLord: Inverted. His name is ''Starscream'', but he's one of the good guys.
210* UndyingLoyalty: He displays extreme loyalty to Megatron, to the point it borders on zealotism.
211
212!!Terrorcons
213The Decepticons' best [[CombiningMecha combiner team]], composed of five carefully selected scholars and entertainers and charged with protecting Cybertron's cultural works from the Autobots.
214

216* CombiningMecha: They combine into Abominus.
217* CulturedBadass: They all are scholars and artists who preserve and value Cybertronian culture, and Abominus preserves and magnifies all of these qualities by five.
218* DanceBattler: Abominus' combat maneuvers are based on Kalistian interpretive dance.
219* 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.
220* InkblotTest: [[MeaningfulName Blot]] is known to perform these to determine the psychology of other Cybertronians.
221* {{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.
222* 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.
223* NoSell: Abominus can see through illusions and holograms easily.
224* 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.
225* PuppetShows: Sinnertwin's puppet shows are the most well-known across the beings of the entire galaxy, from children to the royalty.
226* RedIsHeroic: Abominus uses G1!Computron's colors, which means he's mostly red. He is also a heroic preserver of the world's culture.
227* 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.
228* 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.
229* WarriorPoet: Abominus, to the point that named himself after Iaconian poem.
230* 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.
231
232!!Treadshot
233
234Treadshot 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.
235
236* 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.
237* CoolCar: Transforms into a sports car.
238* FoeRomanceSubtext: Boy howdy. Their dialogue has the subtext of scorned exes.
239* StalkerWithoutACrush: You wouldn't believe it by their dialogue, but his feelings towards Ultra Magnus are apparently murderous, not romantic.
240* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: For Ultra Magnus. Treadshot figures that once he defeats Ultra Magnus he can move on.
241* 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.
242
243!!Thunderwing
244
245Thunderwing is a Special Agent in the Elite Guard, an ancient Cybertronian police force.
246
247* 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.
248* 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''.
249* 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.
250* InspectorJavert: He tried to arrest Soundwave for a crime that was committed ''four million years ago''.
251* LawfulStupid: He never interferes with the war process, and, again, tries to arrest bots for crimes that happened millions years ago.
252* ShoutOut: His personality is based on Joe Friday from ''Series/{{Dragnet}}''.
253
254!!Whisper
255
256Whisper is Sideswipe's perpetually cheerful and noisy Micromaster partner.
257
258* AffectionateNickname: Sideswipe calls him "his own Mini-Con", which Whisper sees as a sign of friendship.
259* 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.
260* {{Keet}}: Very cheerful and excitable.
261* NoIndoorVoice: He's ''very'' loud and noisy.
262* NonindicativeName: "Whisper" is not a name that would suit extremely noisy bot.
263

278* FireForgedFriends: Befriends [[spoiler:Cyclonus]] over the course of "Coalescence" prose story.

280* 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.]]
281

319* {{Jerkass}}: He has some…mean things to say about Ravage's made-up story.
320* ShoutOut: He tends to talk like [[Franchise/{{Peanuts}} Woodstock]].
321* TheUnintelligible: His speech patterns are written in groups of vertical lines.
322** IntelligibleUnintelligible: Despite this, the characters understand him just fine.
323
324!!Enemy
325
326* OffWithHisHead: Got reduced to being just a head thanks to Steeljaw, which he's quite annoyed about.
327* ThirdPersonPerson: "Enemy shall be avenged!"
328
329!!Frenzy
330
331Frenzy is usually very calm and friendly, but can be ''extremely'' dangerous when angered.
332
333* TheBerserker: He's capable of bursting into extreme rage, which makes him a threat even to the larger bots.
334* {{Expy}}: Personality-wise, he's based on David Banner of ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977''.
335* NiceGuy: He's normally chill and friendly, and almost never loses his cool. But should he be angered, however...
336* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Usually calm and friendly, but when he activates his UnstoppableRage powers, the Autobots are in ''huge'' trouble.
337
338!!Garboil
339
340A Decepticon commissioner who works with the mysterious vigilante known as the Batbot.
341
342* CigarChomper: Never seen without a cy-gar in mouth.
343%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
344* RedIsHeroic: Solid red, and a good cop.
345* ShoutOut: The Comissioner Gordon of ''Recordicons'''s ''Batman'' homage.
346
347!!Glit
348
349A highly sarcastic doctor who hates having to deal with Ravage
350
351* CatsAreMean: He's a cat-bot, and he's a grumpy sort.
352* DrJerk: His bedside manner sucks. Though given it's [[TooDumbToLive Ravage]] he's dealing with…
353* TheNicknamer: Calls Ravage female names like Dorothy or Tiffany.
354* ShoutOut: He ''is'' a robotic cat version of Dr. Cox from ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''.
355
356!!Howlback
357
358Another cassette catbot, who works under Commissioner Garboil
359
360* ShoutOut: Vaguely fills the role of Renee Montoya in the ''Recordicons'' re-enactment of ''Batman: The Animated Series''.
361
362!!Laserbeak
363
364* 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.
365* {{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".
366
367!!Ratbat/Batbot
368
369* 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.
370* ObfuscatingStupidity: By day, Ratbat is your average Cybertronian layabout businessman. By night, he is vigilante crime fighter known as Batbot.
371* PaperThinDisguise: He's the only bat-shaped cassette bot around, yet nobody seems to notice Ratbat ''is'' Batbot.
372* SecretIdentity: By night, he goes by Batbot.
373* SherlockScan: Ratbat can determine the mood of anyone nearby.
374* ShoutOut: He's an homage to Franchise/{{Batman}}. Not surprising, given Recordicons is written by David Willis, known for his fondness for Batman jokes.
375* StealthHiBye: It doesn't really work if you're still looking at him, though.
376
377!!Ravage
378
379An adorable cat-like Decepticon with a penchant for playing games and chatting on the internet with humans (and anyone else who will listen).
380
381* 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]].
382* 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.
383* CharacterTic: Waving!
384* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's basically a living LOLCat who speaks almost entirely in memes.
385* CuteKitten: He's an adorable and excitable cat-like Recordicon.
386* 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!
387* 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]].
388* {{Keet}}: In an inversion of the dark, brooding, grumpy Ravage, he is loud, cheerful and enthusiastic.
389* OddFriendship: He's [=BFFs=] with the Autobot Rosanna (which is why one of her songs is called "Look At Me Waving").
390* 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.
391
392!!Rumble
393
394Rumble 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…
395----
396* 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]].
397
398[[/folder]]
399
400[[folder:Human Allies]]
401!!!Professor Henri Arkeville
402-> A rebellious scientist who quietly opposes the USA's current fascist regime along with his three interns. He is the ''Shattered Glass'' counterpart to Dr. Arkeville, a minor villain from [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the G1 cartoon]].
403
404%%* {{Cyborg}}
405%%* TheProfessor
406%%* ScienceHero
407
408!!!Sephie Beller/[[spoiler:Emulator]]
409
410-> 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...)
411
412* CuteGlassesGirl: Even when she wears fanservice-y getups, she still keeps the glasses.
413* {{Cyborg}}: [[spoiler:She ends up becoming part-machine.]]
414* PerkyGoth: She has black hair and dresses in black, but is hardly gloomy and pessimistic.
415* PowerParasite: [[spoiler:She can gain the powers of Transformers within range.]]
416* ProHumanTranshuman: [[spoiler:Of the "shepherd" variety.]]
417* {{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]].
418* 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]].
419
420!!!William "Will" Hayes
421
422-> 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.
423
424* BigEater: Of the thin, "fast metabolism" type.
425* MythologyGag: He's Billy from Anime/TransformersArmada, but with Fred's behaviour and build.
426* ShoutOut: Named after professional wrestler Billy Jack Haynes.
427%%* ThoseTwoGuys: With Rick.
428
429!!!Frederick "Rick" Ottman
430
431-> Rick signed up along with Will to prepare for college, but got more than he bargained for when it led to he and Will befriending the Deceptions. He thinks Sephie is cute, but won't admit it.
432
433* MythologyGag: He's Fred, from Anime/TransformersArmada, but with Billy's build.
434* 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.
435%%* ThoseTwoGuys: With Will.
436
437[[/folder]]
438
439!![[color:purple:Autobot Characters and Subfactions]]
440-> 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.
441
442[[folder:[[color:purple:Main Autobots]]]]
443!!![[color:purple:Optimus Prime]]
444
445-> Optimus Prime is the Autobots' evil, sadistic and tyrannical leader. Cruel and ambitious, his plans fall nothing short of universal conquest.
446
447* 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.
448* 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.
449* 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.
450* {{BFS}}: Acquires one eventually.
451* BigBad: And he's pretty brutal about it, too. Eventually, Rodimus succeeds in overthrowing him.
452%%* CastingAShadow
453%%* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes.
454* EvilSoundsDeep: Per his creators, he's still voiced by Creator/PeterCullen, just using a more malevolent voice... like [[WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983 Venger]].
455* 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]].
456* FromNobodyToNightmare: Optronix was just a lowly data clerk. Optimus Prime is a brutal warlord.
457* GeniusBruiser: He might not be a scientific expert, but he's an amazing strategist, effective if brutal leader and cunning to a fault.
458* GoMadFromTheRevelation: He was once coldly logical... until one day he just went mad, and no-one knows why.
459%%* HeelFaceTurn
460* KnightOfCerebus: His appearance makes the ''Shattered Glass'' series darker.
461%%* LargeHam: And ''how''!
462* NeverRecycleYourSchemes: Averted, much to the surprise of Cliffjumper, who'd [[LampshadeHanging never heard of a villain trying something twice]]!
463* ObviouslyEvil: He's black and purple, which should be a big hint this is not the regular Optimus.
464* 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.
465* PimpDuds: His coloration is loosely evocative of this concept.
466* 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.
467* TheSocialDarwinist: His whole philosophy is that the powerful should rule and the weak obey.
468* TearOffYourFace: Does this to Ultra Magnus, in what is almost certainly a ShoutOut to the live-action film Optimus' "Give me your face!" quote.
469
470!!![[color:purple:Alpha Trion]]
471
472-> 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.
473
474* 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.]]
475%%* AxCrazy
476%%* BeardOfEvil
477* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: The revelation of his true nature occurs in ''Transcendent: Part 6''.]]
478%%* EvilOldFolks
479* EvilWeapon: He claims his sword has the ability to take over whomever wields it. [[spoiler: Once again, this is a big fat fib.]]
480%%* FauxAffablyEvil
481%%* ManipulativeBastard
482* RedEyesTakeWarning: One of the first signs that he's not a trustworthy sort is his blue eyes turn red. [[spoiler:Then he skewers Skyfall.]]
483
484!!![[color:purple:Arcee]]
485
486-> 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.
487
488%%* AxCrazy
489%%* DarkActionGirl
490%%* EnergyBow
491%%* HearingVoices
492%%* LimpAndLivid
493
494!!![[color:purple:Beachcomber]]
495
496-> Beachcomber is a twitchy, nervous, unstable 'bot who is considered completely insane even by Autobot standards.
497
498%%* AxCrazy
499%%* HearingVoices
500* SpeaksInShoutOuts: He speaks only in song lyrics so far.
501
502!!![[color:purple:Big Daddy]]
503
504-> 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,
505
506* 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.
507* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's an "evil Bing Crosby".
508
509!!![[color:purple:Blaster]]
510
511-> 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.
512
513%%* CommunicationsOfficer
514* DrillSergeantNasty: Blaster loves to berate and mistreat his Scrounges.
515%%* FunetikAksent
516%%* ThePowerOfRock: Or rather Mozart.
517* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: [[WordOfGod According to]] writer Greg "M Sipher" Sepelak, [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Talk:Blaster_%28SG%29 it's a "ridiculous" accent]].
518
519!!![[color:purple:Crosshairs]]
520-> Crosshairs' is a slothful and lazy Autobot who would much rather do nothing at all, and rarely fights.
521
522* LazyBum
523
524!!![[color:purple:Elita-One]]
525
526-> Elita-One a true femme-fatale. She is one of the most skilled and sadistic snipers in the Autobot ranks.
527
528%%* BattleCouple: With Rodimus.
529%%* ColdSniper
530%%* DarkActionGirl
531%%* {{Lzherusskie}}
532
533!!![[color:purple:Hoist]]
534
535-> 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".
536
537* BackAlleyDoctor
538
539!!![[color:purple:Hound]]
540
541-> 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.
542
543* FantasticRacism: In a counterpoint to G1 Hound's TinMan nature, SG Hound is at once hateful towards and fearful of organics, particularly humans.
544* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's so afraid of humans he deliberately jumped ship when Rodimus made his coup, rather than risk going to Earth.
545
546!!![[color:purple:Huffer]]
547
548-> Huffer is an amiable, ever-smiling optimist. He is very unusual for an Autobot as a result.
549
550%%* AffablyEvil
551%%* ThePollyanna
552
553!!![[color:purple:Jazz]]
554
555-> Jazz is considered one of Prime's best bodyguards, because he'll take any kind of attack meant for their leader Optimus head on.
556
557* TheDragon: One of Prime best bodyguards.
558* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His personality and speech are based on those of Creator/MrT.
559
560!!![[color:purple:Mirage]]
561
562-> 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.
563
564%%* BankRobbery
565%%* TheNondescript
566
567!!![[color:purple:Nightbeat]]
568
569-> Nightbeat is chief of the Autobot Secret Police. He is responsible for maintaining absolute loyalty to the Autobots' tyrannical leader, and for rooting out and eliminating traitors.
570
571* CombiningMecha: Can combine with that goon Thunderclash, nyeah!
572* DirtyCop: Both physically and morally.
573* SecretPolice: He's the one in charge. Nyeah!
574* 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!
575* VerbalTic: Nyeah, Nightbeat sounds like Edward G. Robinson, see!
576
577!!![[color:purple:Omega Doom]]
578
579-> Omega Doom is the ultimate weapon of the tyrant Optimus Prime.
580
581* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: Omega '''Doom'''.
582* PersonOfMassDestruction: Can blow up stars. And would, too.
583%%* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver
584
585!!![[color:purple:Ratchet]]
586
587-> 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".
588
589* 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.
590* AlienArtsAreAppreciated: Took a fondness for some human music he heard during ''Blitzwing Bop''.
591* BunnyEarsLawyer: Oh, he'll repair people. But he can't help but make them more "interesting" while he does so.
592* ChainsawGood: Gave Rodimus one once; Rodimus did not seem very amused.
593* CombatMedic: Though not one ''I'd'' ever recommend seeing.
594%%* DeadlyDoctor
595%%* ForScience
596* HeelFaceTurn
597* MadDoctor: A capable doctor, but spends a bit too much time mucking around trying to give everyone "upgrades".
598
599!!![[color:purple:Ricochet]]
600
601-> Ricochet is a member of the elite bodyguards for the evil Optimus Prime. He has a twin brother, Jazz.
602
603%%* AxCrazy
604%%* TheBrute
605* 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.
606* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming
607* RoboFamily: He's brothers with Jazz, and Stepper.
608* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: His deathtrap for Megatron is impressively overdesigned. Not one, not two, but ''five'' different deathtraps put together.
609-->'''Ricochet:''' Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
610
611!!![[color:purple:Scoop]]
612
613-> Scoop almost constantly shaking in fear, or holding his fingers nervously. His Targetmaster partner is Holepunch.
614
615%%* CowerPower
616%%* DirtyCoward
617%%* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl
618
619!!![[color:purple:Scrounges]]
620
621-> 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.
622
623* CannonFodder: Blaster really wishes they were.
624* 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.
625
626!!![[color:purple:Seaspray]]
627
628-> Seaspray is fascinated by Earth's oceans and is known for reporting every detail of them whenever possible to his fellow Autobots.
629
630* ObliviouslyEvil
631
632!!![[color:purple:Side Burn]]
633
634-> Side Burn is diligent and devoted to the Autobot cause, but some Autobots have difficulty trusting him.
635
636* 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.
637%%* DeepCoverAgent: [[spoiler:For the Underbase]]
638%%* EnergyBeings
639%%* AFormYouAreComfortableWith
640* 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.
641* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Red sports cars hold no sway for this Side Burn.
642
643!!![[color:purple:Sky Lynx]]
644
645-> Humble and self-deprecating, Sky Lynx was once Lieutenant Commander of the Autobot army, but after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of Wheelie, he tendered his resignation.
646
647* TheAtoner: Sky Lynx seeks to make up for his humiliating defeat by any means possible.
648* BiggerOnTheInside: His shuttle mode.
649* TraumaButton: Rhyming in any form, after his encounter with Wheelie.
650
651!!![[color:purple:Star Saber]]
652
653-> When the war started, Star Saber became one of the evil Autobots. Unfortunately, thanks to his rotten luck, he's been stuck at the bottom of the ranks.
654
655* ButtMonkey: ''Nobody'' likes Star Saber, not even Swoop who otherwise loves everybody.
656
657!!![[color:purple:Tailgate]]
658
659-> 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".
660
661%%* {{Human Pet}}keeper
662
663!!![[color:purple:Wheeljack]]
664
665-> Wheeljack is a mad scientist in every sense of the word. He was laughed right out of the Autobot ranks for a long while, though he eventually managed to get himself back in.
666
667* BerserkButton: Never, ever call him crazy.
668%%* MadScientist
669* TheyCalledMeMad: This is practically a CatchPhrase for him.
670
671!!![[color:purple:Wreckers]]
672
673-> A squad formerly led by Rodimus, until one very eventful battle...
674
675* CurbStompBattle: They were on the wrong end of one.
676%%* HiredGuns
677
678[[/folder]]
679
680[[folder:[[color:purple:Around Cybertron]]]]
681-> The [[StrawmanNewsMedia Autobots' newsteam]], which every Autobot is forced to watch on penalty of death.
682
683!!![[color:purple:Rook]]
684
685-> The news channel's head anchor, who tends to act much like a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Radio/GlennBeck.
686
687!!![[color:purple:Andromeda]]
688%%* IfItBleedsItLeads
689
690!!![[color:purple:Punch]]
691
692* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:He turned into Counterpunch as he broke the news of his defection to Rook.]]
693* 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.]]
694* HeelFaceTurn
695[[/folder]]
696
697[[folder:[[color:purple:Blaster's Cassettes]]]]
698-> Blaster also has his own personal squad of troops, although they mainly show up only in the "[[Webcomic/WalkyVerse Recordicons]]" side comic.
699

701%%* ShoutOut: To The Riddler.
702%%* SizeShifter

708%%* {{Paparazzi}}
709%%* SizeShifter
710
711!!![[color:purple:Steeljaw]]
712
713* BewareTheSillyOnes: The fact he apparently reduced Enemy to just a head suggests he can be dangerous... if he feels like it.
714* BrilliantButLazy: He genuinely can kick your skidplate. It's just too much work for him to ever get around to it.
715* 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.
716* LazyBum: What with being a cat and all. He'd much rather just snooze.
717* PantheraAwesome: He's a lion. Although the awesome is downplayed by his fondness for long, long, ''long'' naps.
718* ShoutOut: His coloration is based on the Black Lion from ''Anime/{{Voltron}}''.
719%%* SizeShifter
720* WeaksauceWeakness: Aside from the laziness, he can easily be immobilized by a good scratch behind the ears.
721
722[[/folder]]
723
724[[folder:[[color:purple:Seekers]]]]
725-> 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.
726
727!!![[color:purple:Rodimus]]
728
729-> The former leader of a mercenary team called the Wreckers, he is the Starscream to Optimus Prime's Megatron, seeking to usurp command and turn the Autobots into the greatest mercenary team known to the universe.
730
731* BeardOfEvil: In keeping with the mirror universe theme. He added a beard to his facial structure, which he thinks makes him look distinguished.
732* HookHand: It's a buzzsaw, but it's in the same spirit.
733* 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.
734* TheStarscream: To Optimus Prime.
735
736!!![[color:purple:Blurr]]
737
738-> 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.

745
746!!![[color:purple:Goldbug]]
747
748-> 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.
749
750%%* TheStarscream: To Rodimus

754
755[[folder:[[color:purple:Technobots]]]]
756-> A set of {{Mad Scientist}}s who form Optimus Prime's most dangerous combiner. [[spoiler:Although they're actually {{Deep Cover Agent}}s for Alpha Trion.]] Computron used to be a genius until an attempt to grant intelligence to Grimlock went [[GoneHorriblyWrong Horribly Wrong]] and turned him into a brainless, neurotic idiot.

770
771!!![[color:purple:Scattorshot]]
772* MilesGloriosus: Sort of. Scattorshot is afraid of interpersonal interaction rather than combat, but he's still all bluff under that tough exterior.
773
774!!![[color:purple:Strafe]]
775%%* NeatFreak: As it applies to combat.

803
804!!Other Characters
805
806[[folder:Dinobots/Cons]]
807-> 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.
808
809!!![[color:purple:Grimlock]]
810
811-> 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.
812
813* 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.
814* GeniusBruiser: After acquiring intelligence. If properly agitated, he can regress to his bestial state, though.
815* {{Hulkspeak}}: How he starts off as, and what he lapses into when he turns back into his T-Rex mode.
816* MythologyGag: Similar to his G1 counterpart, SG Grimlock also tends to pepper his speech with "I, Grimlock."
817* 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?)
818
819!!![[color:purple:Swoop]]
820
821-> Swoop is a joyful, friendly Dinobot who wishes to be everyone's friend.
822
823* 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]].
824
825!!![[color:red:Goryu]]
826
827-> Goryu is typical for a Dinobot in any universe. Big and dumb, he is now in custody of the heroic Decepticons.
828
829* DumbMuscle: Like all of the Dinocons, Goryu isn't a bright bot even after Starscream's neural upgrades
830* MeaningfulName: Goryu has a horn: and he really, really wants to gore you.
831
832!!![[color:red:Overkill]]
833
834-> Like Goryu, Overkill used to be a typical Dinobot. And also like Goryu, was eventually captured by the Decepticons and reprogrammed by Starscream.
835
836* DumbMuscle
837
838!!![[color:red:Slugfest]]
839
840-> 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.
841
842%%* DumbMuscle
843* SmallNameBigEgo: Slugfest has a very high opinion of himself.
844* UnwantedAssistance: Takes to declaring himself Bat-Bot's sidekick, much as Bat-Bot wishes he hadn't.
845[[/folder]]
846
847[[folder:Un-aligned Cybertronians]]
848
849!!!Ultra Magnus
850
851-> Former brother in-arms of Optimus, and student of the Old One. Ultra Magnus once tried to seize control of the Autobots, but was eventually beaten and exiled to Paradron.
852
853%%* AxCrazy: Is he ever.
854* {{BFS}}: The Terminus Blade, as in the only thing capable of operating the Omega Terminus.
855* FacialHorror: Of the TearOffYourFace variety, inflicted by Optimus.
856* 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.
857%%* TheStarscream: For Optimus.
858
859
860!!!Wheelie, the Barbarian-Lord
861
862->A wild barbarian, noted for his ruthlessness, cunning and love of rhyme. Allied with Ultra Magnus during his attempted coup.
863
864* BreakTheBadass: Utterly crippled Sky-Lynx's self-esteem.
865* TheGhost: Mentioned, but never seen.
866* LargeAndInCharge: Mentioned by Sky-Lynx's profile to be pretty big. Not to mention, he's a barbarian ''lord''.
867* RhymesOnADime: Implied, given Sky-Lynx's long-standing fear of rhymes. Plus, it is Wheelie.
868
869[[/folder]]
870
871[[folder:Nexus Prime]]
872
873-> 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.
874
875* AngelUnaware: While his components knew they had something special about them, they didn't realize at first ''how'' special.
876* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Or rather, [[spoiler:seven billion]]. He's one of the [[spoiler:[[TimeAbyss original thirteen Transformers]].]]
877
878!!!Breakaway
879
880-> Originally from the ''ComicBook/TransformersClassics'' universe, he's a kind, caring amnesiac with unusual healing powers.

883%%* DistressedDude
884%%* HealingHands
885%%* TheMedic
886%%* ThePollyanna
887
888!!!Landquake
889-> 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.
890
891%%* TheEeyore
892%%* TheLancer
893%%* PragmaticHero
894
895!!!Skyfall
896
897-> 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.
898
899* 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.]]
900%%* TheHero
901* 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.
902
903!!![[spoiler:Heatwave]]
904* See his earlier entry.
905
906!!!Topspin
907%%* TheBigGuy
908* 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.
909[[/folder]]
910
911[[folder:General]]
912!!!Aquarius
913
914-> 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]].
915
916* 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.
917%%* NewAgeRetroHippie
918* 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
919** 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?
920** Satisfaction also resembles [[Series/TheMuppetShow Dr. Teeth]].
921
922!!!R. J. Blackrock
923
924-> The human CEO of a major Earth oil company, who ends up employing Sephie in his R&D department.
925
926* CorruptCorporateExecutive: [[spoiler:He uses his company to build technology he can use for shady doings.]]
927* PlayingBothSides: [[spoiler:It turns out his goal is to wipe out both the Autobots and the Decepticons.]]
928* ShoutOut: The initials R.J. for an oil baron suggest another devious oil baron with the initials [[Series/{{Dallas}} J.R.]]
929
930!!!Teletraan-X
931
932-> The Autobots' evil female sentient computer.
933
934%%* CombatTentacles
935
936[[/folder]]
937
938[[folder:Planets]]
939
940!!!Unicron
941
942--> Rather than the PlanetEater GodOfEvil, Unicron is the God of extropy, and is the fragment of Unicron's good becoming dominant.
943----
944* CainAndAbelAndSeth: He is actually the Seth to Primus' Cain and Gaia's Abel.
945* 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.
946* 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]].
947* 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.
948
949!!!Primus
950
951--> 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.
952----
953
954* CainAndAbel: He is the Cain this time. He fights his sister Gaia to the death.
955* GreaterScopeVillain: Cyberton is his body who laid dormant for years until Rodimus finds his face.
956* DeathByIrony: Just like Unicron from ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'', his body is destroyed and reduces him to a head.
