* TheJuggernaut: Scourge was empowered by Unicron to be nearly unstoppable, and true enough he barely takes any damage most of the movie and it ultimately takes [[spoiler:Prime heavily damaging him using the transwarp tower's machinery and lava to wear him down enough to kill him. Even then, he doesn't die until Prime tears his head off.]]

Enforcer and scout of the Terrorcons.

One of the Terrorcons' soldiers and their sole female member.

The BigGood and TheHero of the film series. The leader of the Autobot Resistance, Optimus Prime is the one to send Bumblebee to earth, while holding off the Decepticon forces as long as he can so that the Autobots can escape. He survives the fall of Cybertron but his location was unknown, forcing the Decepticons to hunt down every Autobot they could find to force them to give him up. [[UndyingLoyalty None of them give in.]]

Despite initially developed as a prequel to the previous movies, with ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'', Hasbro began what they referred to as a '[[ContinuityReboot new storytelling universe]]', confirming the film's status as a reboot. As such, characters from the movie, and its (standalone) sequel ''Film/TransformersRiseOfTheBeasts'', are now here. As ''Bumblebee'' featured several returning characters but in vastly different, more G1-inspired appearances, the ''Bumblebee'' version of these characters are now considered separate entities.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The first four Autobots to appear in ''Rise of the Beasts'' towards Noah: Mirage is the Nice trying to form a brotherly bond with Noah and being convinced that the Autobots can use a human member to sneak in and out of society, Bumblebee and Arcee are the In-Between being mostly indifferent to Noah learning of their presence (and even there it's split-up with Bumblebee having more faith in Noah as their first human ally than Arcee does) and Optimus is [[AdaptationalJerkass the Mean]] being disgruntled with getting made by a human plus showing disdain for humans in general then blaming Noah for failing to retrieve the Transwarp Key in time from the museum.

* DropTheHammer: Can transform his left hand into a spiked hammer.

* PhysicalGod: He’s a physical, tangible being but so large in power and scale that he’s considered a dark god in Transformer legends.

* DropTheHammer: Uses a hammer in robot mode.

The Decepticons are a ruthless and rouge military force that forced the resistance to flee Cybertron, and won't stop until they've hunted each one down and permanently destroyed what's left of them.

* CoolBigBro: Cares a lot for his younger brother and is willing to do anything to raise enough money for Chris' treatment.
* DisappearedDad: Noah and Chris' father is never seen or mentioned.

* HealthcareMotivation: To pay for sickle cell disease treatment for Chris, Noah partakes in a carjacking after his attempt at a job falls through.

* KarmaHoudini: Noah gets into no legal trouble for breaking and entering into a building while attempting to steal Mirage in his vehicle form or the police chase Mirage took him on.

[[folder:Chris]]
!Chris Diaz

* LittlestCancerPatient: Chris is diagnosed with sickle cell disease, and Noah is willing to do anything to pay for his treatment.

* AmbiguousSituation: Which version of [[spoiler:G.I Joe]] this is. They have basically the same description to how they are described in [[spoiler:''Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins'']] but outside of that there's nothing to indicate if this is that same [[spoiler:G.I. Joe]] or one that is unique to this continuity. Burke also mentions they are in the middle of an ongoing war and while it's most likely a reference to [[spoiler:Cobra and their classic war with them. We also don't get any specifics other than that they like Noah and the Autobots' help in fighting it.]]

!the Brothers of Light and Chaos

* CombatPragmatist: Likewise, given that he's significantly smaller than most 'Cons, he has to use speed, surprise, and his environment to take them out. Fighting Blitzwing has him use the Sqeeker's weaponry against him, while against Shatter he had to use the environment to avoid being killed by her.

TheHero of the first movie, Bumblebee, or B-127 as he was initially called, is an Autobot soldier sent to seek out a new home for the Autobots so they can regroup and retake their planet. In 1987, he arrives on Earth, but is followed there by the Decepticon Blitzwing who then proceeds to viciously attack and nearly kill him, forcing him to hide as a Volkswagen Beetle. Discovered by Charlie Watson, he's accidentally revived, but without any memory of who he is, and is terrified and confused by everything around him. Fortunately, Charlie befriends the lost Autobot, naming him "Bumblebee" after his yellow paint job, timid nature, and buzzing noises.

* CombatPragmatist: Likewise, given that he's significantly smaller than most 'Cons, he has to use speed, surprise, and his environment to take them out. Fighting Blitzwing has him use the Seeker's weaponry against him, while against Shatter he had to use the environment to avoid being killed by her.

* ConstantlyCurious: Since he doesn't know who he is, and is on a different planet populated by beings he's completely alien to, Bumblebee is really curious about the world. Since he can't ask questions very well due to his disability, it often results in him peering around in ways he shouldn't.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Having seen he can overpower Optimus during the museum battle, Scourge spitefully mocks him over how "[[KickThemWhileTheyreDown Primus would be ashamed]]". Though Scourge is shown to be a failing servant to Unicron who tortures and chews him out for bringing nothing but empty promises.

* AliensAreBastards: Their job revolves around finding planets for Unicron to eat, whether they are inhabited or not, and they absolutely ''relish'' the act of dooming the inhabitants of the planets they find to planetary apocalypse.

* ArmCannon: Notably a lacking feature this time, as besides Bumblebee (and Optimus in ''Rise of the Beasts'') they're all otherwise depicted with hand-held weaponry. Given their status as a resistance movement, it's likely that they simply weren't ''built'' for war, but were forced to take up arms anyway.''Rise of The Beast'' seems to correct this as Mirage, Wheeljack, and Arcee are all shown to be able to do this.

* AdaptationalDyeJob: He is red and white (Laserbeak's color scheme) instead of black like his other appearances.

[[spoiler:'''Optimus Prime''':]] [[spoiler:Then ''die''!]]

* UndyingLoyalty: Like the rest of the resistance, the members of Prime's inner circle is loyal to the Autobot Leader.

* TheHero:

** Despite being weary of the other, more serious Autobots like Optimus and Arcee, Mirage admits he understands why Optimus is so harsh and defensive, and explains it to Noah; and also shows he doesn't blame Optimus for their situation.

A lieutenant of the Autobot Resistance who's quickly hunted down by Shatter and Dropkick after escaping Cybertron.

The Decepticons are a ruthless military force that forced the Autobots to flee Cybertron, and won't stop until they've hunted each one down and permanently destroyed what's left.

The leader of the Decepticons and tyrannical ruler of Cybertron.

* * AdaptationalBadass: The Maximals (and Predacons) from ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' were far smaller than typical Autobots and closer to human size, taking on the appearance of actual gorillas, cheetahs, and rhinos, the classic Autobots come across as titans next to them. Here all of the Maximals are scaled up to a comparable size to the Autobots, resulting in a gorilla standing 20 feet tall.
