* HatesBeingTouched: Especially if it's by a land-dweller.
* HostileTerraforming: He tries to cause massive oil spills in order to make the Earth's oceans more like Cybertron's.

* SubmarinePirates: His a pirate who transforms into a submarine.
* TailSlap: He uses his tail as an offensive weapon against Bumblebee.
* ThreateningShark: A shark-like Decepticon that resembles a hammerhead when in its robot form (due to its eyestalks), appropriately named Hammerstrike.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: There seems to be some debate over if his accent is Australian or British. While Australian might make more "sense" as sharks tend to be more associated with Australia rather than the UK, none of the other Decepticons shown so far any such link between their appearances and voices.

->''"You don't want us on this rock. And we don't wanna be here. So what's the glitch, coppers?!"''
* BareHandedBladeBlock: Uses Fixit in this manner to stop a sword blow from Sideswipe.
* CaperCrew: His claim to infamy on Cybertron. Thanks to his ability to split into five robotic ants, he is this all by himself.
* CombiningMecha: Though all of his components are simply extensions of him, rather than separate bots in their own right.
* DetachmentCombat: Chop Shop's fighting style involving splitting himself into small ant robots and using numbers to overwhelm his opponents.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with a Cockney accent.
* ExtraEyes: He has four.
* GiantSpider: His alt-mode is five of them.
* GrandTheftMe: Somewhat. Chop Shop uses Fixit as his right arm when Strongarm subdued the ant that should comprise it. For a time, Fixit was completely under Chop Shop's control until he found the will to fight back, and stay the Decepticon's hand.
* HarmlessFreezing: [[spoiler:What happens to the majority of him after Bumblebee uppercuts him into a tanker truck filled with liquid oxygen.]]
* IAmLegion: Refers to himself in the plural, presumably due to his nature as the combined form of five robot ants.
* MeetMyGoodFriendsLeftyAndRighty: He calls the ant that forms one of his arms "Righty". Guess which arm. [[spoiler:It's also the one that escapes when the rest of Chop Shop is frozen and recaptured.]]
* OutOfFocus: In season 1 he was the most recurring Decepticon who wasn't part of the FiveManBand. He isn't even mentioned in season 2.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Bumblebee frees Righty when they are both cocooned by Nightstrike and asks him to help protect the humans. Initially, Righty blows him off and turns to leave on his own, but ultimately goes back and provides a distraction that allows the Autobots to prevail.]]
** [[spoiler: He later actually protects Russell and Denny from Nightstrike simply because Bumblebee asked him to (though it probably helped that Bumblebee pointed out that the humans had never harmed Chop Shop), even giving Bumblebee a smile and a thumbs up as he goes.]]

* {{Claustrophobia}}: Terrashock hates tiny places. When he awakens from stasis, he eagerly smashes his pod, then thinks the walls in the room he's in are closing in on him, causing him to smash through and run.
* DumbMuscle: It's pointed out that Buffaloids like him are not very intelligent, and Terrashock himself served as a living blunt instrument for a Decepticon Seeker named Contrail back on Cybertron.
* HardHead: He uses it as his [[UseYourHead main weapon]].
* ALoadOfBull: Although he's more based on an American bison. As it happens, he's one of the few Decepticons on the show whose animal characteristics carry over to his vehicle mode -- his garbage truck mode's cab looks like an angry bull head, complete with a nose ring.

* GiantFlyer: Her usual form is a huge mechanical bird that can carry off objects as heavy as [=RVs=] and steel girders. Unusually among the Decepticons of this show, however, it's actually her ''alternate'' mode; she has a "normal" humanoid mode that's only briefly seen.
* {{Hulkspeak}}: A variant, as her vocabulary is incredibly limited, being largely comprised of the words "Shiny" and "Mine", and her single-minded obsession with shiny objects means she's far from being the smartest Decepticon around.
* ThievingMagpie: Her entire schtick-- she's a big bird who loves stealing and hoarding shiny objects, and is protective enough of her stash to kill over it.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Is apparently a laughingstock among the other Decepticons for his bottom-feeding ways, and probably his bizarre appearance as well. And you'd think that voice doesn't help.
* BigBadassRig: Transforms into a rigid tanker truck
* FromNobodyToNightmare: His goal was to become ruler of the Decepticons stranded on Earth and by extension entire planet by gathering a stockpile of energon. On Cybertron, he was just a petty crook.
* NobodyCallsMeChicken: Sideswipe goads him into attacking by mocking him and repeatedly calling him a "bot-worm"
* TheParalyzer: He uses his mandibles for this purpose.
* SandWorm: He's a mechanical version of one, albeit with legs and [[MixAndMatchCritters mole-like claws]].
* ShockAndAwe: Can deal a paralyzing electric sting with his mandibles.
* TunnelKing: He leaves '''huge''' tunnels.
* UnfortunateNames: A ped is a soil particle. Or in other words a piece of dirt.
* VocalDissonance: With his size and those claws, he's pretty fearsome-looking, but he's got a high-pitched nerd voice.
* WhosLaughingNow: ''Wanted'' this to be the case by hoarding all of Earth's Energon supplies and forcing all of his former tormentors to bow to him in order to get some, but Team Bee nipped this particular dream of his in the bud.

* AntiVillain: Can be considered one, Nightstrike's justification for kidnapping other Cybertronians and leeching out their energon is that doing so enables him to survive.
-->'''Nightstrike''': I realize it's an inconvenience, but one must do what one must to collect the energon one needs to survive.
* BatOutOfHell: As he doesn't transform during his episode, it wasn't clear if it was his robot mode or alt-mode until [[http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/7/71/Nightstrike-TTcardart.jpg merchandise]] revealed his robot mode.
* FangsAreEvil: Befitting a vampire bat, he's got two long, intimidating fangs in a mouth full of smaller but similarly sharp teeth.
* FantasticRacism: Less so than usual especially for a Decepticon. Nightstrike writes Denny Clay not having energon for him to take as 'unfortunate', and when he encounters Russell, Nightstrike's reaction is to disbelievingly proclaim:
-->'"What's this? This tiny creature is your rescue party?"'
%%* GiantFlyer
* IcyBlueEyes: Differing from the normal Decepticon RedEyesTakeWarning.
* LifeDrain: Capable of draining energon from other Transformers.
* MakeMeWannaShout: His sonic scream isn't physically harmful, but it paralyzes you and causes you to hallucinate your greatest fear. Since you have to actually ''hear'' it for this to happen, the Autobots work around it by turning off their audio receptors.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: He's the Cybertronian equivalent. He disables bots with his scream and drains them of energon, though not by biting. It's suggested that he has to do this to survive, as though he can't take energon in normally.

* CoolTrain: Transforms into a subway train. Vertebreak is the first reptilian Transformer to adopt a vehicle mode.
%%* FauxAffablyEvil
* GlassCannon: With Sideswipe's body, Vertebreak is very swift, agile, and strong. He takes on the entire team at one point, but he's also not good at taking hits. Grimlock taking a cheap shot was enough to knock him out.
* GrandTheftMe: He attaches his head to Sideswipe's body, effectively pulling off this.
%%* LaughingMad
* MadScientist: A scientist from Crystal City who was imprisoned for illegal cyber grafting surgeries. That's ''attaching parts of other robots to his body''.

%%* EvilOldFolks

* BigCreepyCrawlies: His robot mode is based on a grasshopper.
* CoolCar: Kickback is the one of the first insect-based Transformers ever to gain a vehicle mode. He transforms into a top fuel dragster.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: We don't see much of him in action and most of the leading Decepticons in the series(Steeljaw, Glowstrike, Scorponok, and Saberhorn) seem to hold him in very low esteem. However, he is capable of packing quite a punch and showed that he could send Steeljaw flying with a single kick.
* DirtyCoward: Scorponok straight up calls him this.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's one of the lowliest Decepticons and is generally treated like garbage. Despite this, he's genuinely eager to help his fellow Cons and has yet to do anything truly villainous.
* RejectedApology: He's less than pleased with Steeljaw previously using him as TheBait and blows the latter's apology off.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he plays an important role in Scorponok's group, and is respected for it. In truth, his duties are little more than scavenging, and his superiors have nothing but disdain for him.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** [[spoiler:At the end of the first season, he is the only known Decepticon, other than Steeljaw, to still be at large.]]

* HostageSituation: Creates one using the humans under her control, even threatening to kill them if the Autobots attempted to attack her.
* InsectQueen: Strongarm even noted the similarity between her and an earth queen bee (and used that to her advantage). Among other things, her alternate mode is a giant mechanical bee, she is reliant on warm temperatures to function at peak capability, and uses bee terminology to describe her brainwashed humans.
* KillItWithIce: [[spoiler:A non-lethal example, but Zizza is ultimately defeated when Windblade knocks her into a truck full of cold foam, crippling her ability to move and fly.]]

* FaceFramedInShadow: Subverted. At first, all we see is a silhouette of his face with his red eyes showing. Near the episode's end we see him in the daylight and learn that this really is his face, described as a flat black slab with only a pair of red eyes.

* AdaptationalVillainy: His original counterpart was depicted as a heroic Maximal.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Possesses enhanced eyesight, to the point that the Autobots had to adopt winter camouflage to keep him from noticing them sneaking up on him from a mile away.
* BearsAreBadNews: Based on a polar bear and was appropriately enough, found in the Arctic Circle.
* TheDon: Back on Cybertron, he was the infamous crime boss who terrorized the planet's northernmost region.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: He starts one to knock the Autobots pursuing him off the side of a mountain.
* IcyBlueEyes: Like Nightstrike and Groundpounder, which would later apply to a small number of Decepticons later in the series.
* LogicalWeakness: [[spoiler: He is defeated after Optimus directs Windblade to force him into the ocean. This neutralizes his sonic scream, as sound can't travel through water, allowing Optimus to punch his lights out.]]
* MakeMeWannaShout: He has a sonic scream.
* TheStrategist: According to Fixit, he excels in this department, making plans to protect his interests for years in advance while he hibernates.

* GentlemanAdventurer: Fancies himself as this.
* HostageSituation: He takes Russel hostage and threatens to kill him in order to complete his mission unhindered without Bumblebee's interference.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He (mostly joking) accuses the Autobots of "unsportsmanship" when they face him three-against-one; but isn't above such behavior himself.
* KillItWithFire: He attempts to do this to Bumblebee by trapping him in a viaduct and filling it with molten metal.
* MookChivalry: After knocking down Bumblebee, he offers the Autobot a sporting chance by ordering the latter to get back on his feet.
* {{Pirate}}: Prior to his imprisonment on the ''Alchemor'', he was a notorious pirate who led a crew in plundering cargo starships.
* WickedCultured: He has a genuine sense of style and taste which most Decepticons lack. And if his pained reaction to Steeljaw's betrayal says anything, it showed that he expected the same level of class and fair play from other Decepticons that he believed himself to possess. It also doesn't hurt that he's one of the better developed Decepticons in the second season.
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Despite his combat prowess, he is taken out in one hit by Steeljaw in the second season finale to both solidify the latter's status as the new leader of the Decepticon army and demonstrate just how strong he is once armed with two Decepticon hunters.]]

* TheBrute: According to Cybertron's law enforcement database, he pillaged and destroyed several outlying communities on Cybertron ForTheEvulz, taking advantage of their lack of law enforcement presence.
* TheDragon: To Glowstrike.
* KlingonPromotion: Non-fatal example. While simply in stasis, he apparently became a victim of this, courtesy of Steeljaw's deception.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Meta example; his transformation scheme is different from all previous Scorponok incarnations. [[note]][[Wiki/TFWikiDotnet " Claws into claws, legs from the main body, tail sits behind, hoping to be ignored..."]][[/note]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She is introduced complaining about the quality of her minions and wishing for a reliable, competent Decepticon. Steeljaw introduces himself seconds later...
* BenevolentBoss: She can have her moments. She gives good promotions to ones she isn't disappointed with, such as with Steeljaw.
* BigBadWannabe: At first she looks to be the BigBad, as she is TheLeader of the Decepticons in half of the ''Alchemor''. [[spoiler:Towards the end, she gets overthrown by Steeljaw, who fully solidifies his position as BigBad.]]
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Is ostensibly based on a firefly.
* HandBlast: Is capable of firing red blasts of heat energy from her palm.
* TheLeader: Of a group of Decepticons that set up shop in the wreckage of the ''Alchemor'', [[spoiler:until [[TheStarscream Steeljaw]] obtains the Decepticon hunters stored aboard the ship and knocks her down from the leadership position]].

* SurroundedByIdiots: Her general opinion towards the Decepticons she leads.
* VillainousFriendship: Beside her disappointment toward him in his debut episode, Glowstrike and Saberhorn seem to share one together. [[spoiler:She is struck with horror when Steeljaw blasts him with his weapons]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: For a Decepticon leader who was made out to be the main villain of the second season, Glowstrike doesn't get much development throughout her appearances. Her combat abilities were hardly ever displayed, save for a scene where we know she can shoot laser blasts from her hands, and she spends most of her time as a SatelliteCharacter for Steeljaw who completely upstages her towards the end, with her barely being able to put up so much as a struggle against him.

* DetachmentCombat: Like other Minicon deployers in the series, he is capable of doing this with his Minicon partner, Slicedice, who either [[OutsideRide rides on top of him]] or stores in his interior.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: In his attempt to evade Strongarm, he causes several other vehicles to veer off the road.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: A variant of this, as in the series, he is partnered with the Minicon Slicedice, who transforms into a torpedo not unlike Airazor and Divebomb. His deployer toy, however, is incompatible with such Minicons, and instead can only launch Cyclones, one of which is Hammer, packaged with the toy.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Given his small size, Slicedice is frequently picked up and tossed by the Autobots at Crazybolt to knock his master off-balance.
* KillItWithFire: In their second encounter, he attempts to immolate Bumblebee. While he doesn't succeed, the Autobot is left with several visible scorch marks.
* LizardFolk: The design basis for both himself and his partner, Slicedice.
* MismatchedEyes: Slicedice's right iris is yellow, while his left one is blue.
* OutsideRide: If he isn't stored in Crazybolt's interior, Slicedice prefers to hitch a ride on his master's roof.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He was imprisoned on the ''Alchemor'' after destroying the majority of Steel City, claiming that the buildings there "impeded Cybertronians' natural velocity".
* PrinciplesZealot: He seeks to torch anything he perceives as an obstacle to unrestricted speed on the land, including buildings, machines, and forests, and doesn't care if his actions injure anyone else.
* PyroManiac: His penchant for fire starting is what attracts the Autobots' attention.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness:
** His first line upon encountering the Autobots practically reeks of this.
--> '''Strongarm''': You're under arrest for arson and whatever else we can think of before we put you back in stasis.\\
'''Crazybolt''': One 'Bot's arson is another 'Con's virtuous demolition of the impediments to forward progress in maximum velocity.
** Strongarm later [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this herself.
--> '''Strongarm''': I wish these 'Cons would come with a translator.
* ShesAManInJapan: In the Hungarian dub of the series, Crazybolt is female.
* SmokeOut: Is capable of doing this by shooting fire out of his side vents. In particular, he uses it to deter Strongarm from pursuing him.
* StickySituation: Lays a trap in this vein to ensnare Strongarm.
* SycophanticServant: Slicedice plays this role to Crazybolt, with much of his characterization entailing praising what his master says.
* UndyingLoyalty: Slicedice's devotion to Crazybolt has been described by Fixit to be "fanatical".
* VisionaryVillain: Slicedice frames him as this for his "need for speed" ideology.
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: In defiance to what the Autobots think, he apparently views himself as the freedom fighter, as his line under SesquipedalianLoquaciousness suggests.

* LifeDrain: Like Nightstrike, he can drain other Transformers of their energon, siphoning it from them through his claws.
* OffstageVillainy: As he lacks an entry in the ''Alchemor's'' prison manifest, it is currently unknown how he wound up on Earth and what his previous criminal deeds were.
* PaletteSwap: He is a recolored version of Scratch that lacks a tail, intended to more closely resemble a cougar compared to Scratch's puma inspiration.
* PantheraAwesome: His robot mode incorporates cougar-like characteristics.
* UndyingLoyalty: Subverted. Given his behavior, he is the only Minicon deployer in the series (apart from Overload, who allied with nigh-uncontrollable Cyclones) whose Minicons do not feel this way towards him. See UngratefulBastard for more details.
* UngratefulBastard: Unlike the other Minicon deployers in the series, he shows no appreciation for the efforts of Swelter and Glacius in bringing him other Transformers to feed on, and it is implied that he may have threatened to kill them before.
--> '''Swelter''': Glacius and I maxed out our circuits for you! And the only reward you give us is...

* DisintegratorRay: He straps Bumblebee and Strongarm to a particle accelerator and threatened to use it to vaporize them into subatomic particles.
* EvilGenius: He prides himself on his intellect. Unlike most depictions of this trope, however, he has the muscle to match his immense brainpower.
* GeniusBruiser: He's both intelligent (and proud of it) and strong enough to take out Bumblebee and Strongarm with minimal difficulty.
* HairTriggerTemper: After the failure of his last experiment on Cybertron, he brutally beat his lab partners to a pulp, leading to his imprisonment on the ''Alchemor''.
* HostageSituation: As Grimlock stole the circuit board he wanted, he in turn uses Bumblebee and Strongarm in this manner against the Dinobot.
* KillerGorilla: He shares a body-type with Groundpounder, which also makes him this, albeit in a more symmetrical manner. His features, however, lean more towards resembling an orangutan, compared to Groundpounder's gorilla.
* ManiacMonkeys: Being smaller than their master, his Mini-Cons, Axiom and Theorem, lean more towards this trope.

* {{Hypocrite}}: He has the audacity to tell Drift it was dishonorable to take away Slipstream and Jetstorm from his "care" (Drift implies that the Mini-Cons are not property), yet the way he fights clearly has nothing to do with honor.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: There seems to be some debate over if his accent is Australian or British.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EddieDeezen
->'''First Appearance:''' "Can You Dig It?"
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Is apparently a laughingstock among the other Decepticons for his bottom-feeding ways, and probably his bizarre appearance as well. And you'd think that voice doesn't help.
* BigBadassRig: Transforms into a rigid tanker truck
* FromNobodyToNightmare: His goal was to become ruler of the Decepticons stranded on Earth and by extension entire planet by gathering a stockpile of energon. On Cybertron, he was just a petty crook.
* NobodyCallsMeChicken: Sideswipe goads him into attacking by mocking him and repeatedly calling him a "bot-worm"
* TheParalyzer: He uses his mandibles for this purpose.
* SandWorm: He's a mechanical version of one, albeit with legs and [[MixAndMatchCritters mole-like claws]].
* ShockAndAwe: Can deal a paralyzing electric sting with his mandibles.
* TunnelKing: He leaves '''huge''' tunnels.
* UnfortunateNames: A ped is a soil particle. Or in other words a piece of dirt.
* VocalDissonance: With his size and those claws, he's pretty fearsome-looking, but he's got a high-pitched nerd voice.
* WhosLaughingNow: ''Wanted'' this to be the case by hoarding all of Earth's Energon supplies and forcing all of his former tormentors to bow to him in order to get some, but Team Bee nipped this particular dream of his in the bud.
* WormSign: Creates huge sinkholes in his wake when traveling underground.

* SmellySkunk: He and his gang of Skunkticons are based on this, complete with the ability to produce debilitating toxins.

[[folder:Nightstrike]]
!!Nightstrike
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomKenny
->'''First Appearance:''' "Even Robots have Nightmares"
* AffablyEvil: Nightstrike is described on the TFWikiDotNet as 'mild-mannered' and 'polite' with a beastly visage. However, it's also noted that Nightstrike is more than willing to ''"drain the life out of whomever he ends up trapping in their own nightmares."''
* AntiVillain: Can be considered one, Nightstrike's justification for kidnapping other Cybertronians and leeching out their energon is that doing so enables him to survive.
-->'''Nightstrike''': I realize it's an inconvenience, but one must do what one must to collect the energon one needs to survive.
* BatOutOfHell: As he doesn't transform during his episode, it wasn't clear if it was his robot mode or alt-mode until [[http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/7/71/Nightstrike-TTcardart.jpg merchandise]] revealed his robot mode.
* FangsAreEvil: Befitting a vampire bat, he's got two long, intimidating fangs in a mouth full of smaller but similarly sharp teeth.
* FantasticRacism: Less so than usual especially for a Decepticon. Nightstrike writes Denny Clay not having energon for him to take as 'unfortunate', and when he encounters Russell, Nightstrike's reaction is to disbelievingly proclaim:
-->'"What's this? This tiny creature is your rescue party?"'
%%* GiantFlyer
* IcyBlueEyes: Differing from the normal Decepticon RedEyesTakeWarning.
* LifeDrain: Capable of draining energon from other Transformers.
* MakeMeWannaShout: His sonic scream isn't physically harmful, but it paralyzes you and causes you to hallucinate your greatest fear. Since you have to actually ''hear'' it for this to happen, the Autobots work around it by turning off their audio receptors.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: He's the Cybertronian equivalent. He disables bots with his scream and drains them of energon, though not by biting. It's suggested that he has to do this to survive, as though he can't take energon in normally.

!!Vertebreak
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CharlieSchlatter

* BaddieFlattery: He compliments Sideswipe's agility and notes him to be an excellent specimen of Autobot. When the others save him from a train, he makes sure to thank them, before reengaging them.
* CoolTrain: Transforms into a subway train. Vertebreak is the first reptilian Transformer to adopt a vehicle mode.
%%* FauxAffablyEvil
* GlassCannon: With Sideswipe's body, Vertebreak is very swift, agile, and strong. He takes on the entire team at one point, but he's also not good at taking hits. Grimlock taking a cheap shot was enough to knock him out.
* GrandTheftMe: He attaches his head to Sideswipe's body, effectively pulling off this.
%%* LaughingMad
* MadScientist: A scientist from Crystal City who was imprisoned for illegal cyber grafting surgeries. That's ''attaching parts of other robots to his body''.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: He has three on his own body, though they're rather small and spindly.
* OffWithHisHead: What he does to Sideswipe.
* SnakePeople: Has a long, serpentine body, and a snake-like face.
* WhosLaughingNow: Wants payback on those who stopped his research and put him in stasis.

!!Headlock
->'''Voiced by:''' Eric Bauza
->'''First Appearance:''' "The Champ"
* CheatersNeverProsper: Sabotages Groundpounder's opponents when it seems that they're gaining the upper hand. It's suggested loosely that Groundpounder's in on this, since he doesn't react at all when he clearly sees Headlock interfering in the fight against Grimlock.
%%* EvilOldFolks
* {{Expy}}: Headlock is a broad homage to Michael "Mickey" Goldmill, the crusty old trainer from the Rocky movies.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Though larger than humans and Fixit, he's ''very'' small compared to Groundpounder and seems pretty wizened.

->'''Voiced by:''' Liam O'Brien
->'''First Appearance:''' "Lockout"
* TheBait: Steeljaw's pack uses him to lure Bumblebee's team away from the scrapyard.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: His robot mode is based on a grasshopper.
* CoolCar: Kickback is the one of the first insect-based Transformers ever to gain a vehicle mode. He transforms into a top fuel dragster.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: We don't see much of him in action and most of the leading Decepticons in the series(Steeljaw, Glowstrike, Scorponok, and Saberhorn) seem to hold him in very low esteem. However, he is capable of packing quite a punch and showed that he could send Steeljaw flying with a single kick.
* DirtyCoward: Scorponok straight up calls him this.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's one of the lowliest Decepticons and is generally treated like garbage. Despite this, he's genuinely eager to help his fellow Cons and has yet to do anything truly villainous.
* RejectedApology: He's less than pleased with Steeljaw previously using him as TheBait and blows the latter's apology off.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he plays an important role in Scorponok's group, and is respected for it. In truth, his duties are little more than scavenging, and his superiors have nothing but disdain for him.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** [[spoiler:At the end of the first season, he is the only known Decepticon, other than Steeljaw, to still be at large.]]
** [[spoiler:This may have happened again at the end of the second season. He disappears after "Metal Meltdown" and hasn't been seen since.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Hildreth

* AffablyEvil: Scowl just wants to have fun, even if said fun involves destruction of property and endangering innocents, and when he meets Grimlock they hit it off pretty well. [[spoiler:Even at the end, when Grimlock pretends to agree with Scowl's destructive attitude, Scowl, despite the thrashing Grimlock gave him, is happy to accept him]].
* TheBrute: He formerly worked for Thunderhoof as hired muscle on Cybertron, destroying the homes of anyone who refused to vacate after Thunderhoof illicitly took over the land.
* CategoryTraitor: [[spoiler:Believes that a Dinobot's first focus should be rampaging without regard for anyone or anything else. When Grimlock disagrees, he says he's gone soft.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: His alt-mode is a stylized ankylosaur-esque beast.
* FantasticSlur: He calls humans "screamers."

* BeardOfEvil: He possesses one, despite the fact that black panthers don't have beards.
* HandBlast: Is capable of shooting red lasers from his fingertips.
* OffstageVillainy: Fixit doesn't get a chance to read off his rap sheet, so we have no idea of what he did to wind up on the ''Alchemor''.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His name goes unspoken in the episode, only being revealed on [[WordOfGod Adam Beechen's blog]] after the fact. [[TheNicknamer Windblade]] briefly refers to him as "Fancyclaws" after she defeats him, which is the closest he gets to a name in the show itself.

* BeeAfraid: She's a queen bee-like Decepticon who uses her toxins to enslave humans and Cybertronians for her own benefit, and her alt-mode is a giant mechanical bee.
* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon is a massive one formed from her alternate mode's wings.
* HatesBeingTouched: Has this reaction when Sideswipe jumps on top of her to keep her from escaping.
* IcyBlueEyes: Has this, along with a handful of other Decepticons with this.
* HostageSituation: Creates one using the humans under her control, even threatening to kill them if the Autobots attempted to attack her.
* InsectQueen: Strongarm even noted the similarity between her and an earth queen bee (and used that to her advantage). Among other things, her alternate mode is a giant mechanical bee, she is reliant on warm temperatures to function at peak capability, and uses bee terminology to describe her brainwashed humans.
* KillItWithIce: [[spoiler:A non-lethal example, but Zizza is ultimately defeated when Windblade knocks her into a truck full of cold foam, crippling her ability to move and fly.]]
* MindManipulation: Can use her toxins to brainwash humans and Autobots alike.

* FaceFramedInShadow: Subverted. At first, all we see is a silhouette of his face with his red eyes showing. Near the episode's end we see him in the daylight and learn that this really is his face, described as a flat black slab with only a pair of red eyes.
* SpotTheImposter: As a Shifter, this was bound to happen. When he assumes Drift's form, and the Bots have to tell the two apart [[spoiler:the real Drift deploys his Minicons, which Pseudo can't do]].

* AdaptationalVillainy: His original counterpart was depicted as a heroic Maximal.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Possesses enhanced eyesight, to the point that the Autobots had to adopt winter camouflage to keep him from noticing them sneaking up on him from a mile away.
* BearsAreBadNews: Based on a polar bear and was appropriately enough, found in the Arctic Circle.
* TheDon: Back on Cybertron, he was the infamous crime boss who terrorized the planet's northernmost region.
* HairTriggerAvalanche: He starts one to knock the Autobots pursuing him off the side of a mountain.
* IcyBlueEyes: Like Nightstrike and Groundpounder, which would later apply to a small number of Decepticons later in the series.
* LogicalWeakness: [[spoiler: He is defeated after Optimus directs Windblade to force him into the ocean. This neutralizes his sonic scream, as sound can't travel through water, allowing Optimus to punch his lights out.]]
* MakeMeWannaShout: He has a sonic scream.
* TheStrategist: According to Fixit, he excels in this department, making plans to protect his interests for years in advance while he hibernates.

* BareHandedBladeBlock: Uses his forearm to deflect a blow from Bumblebee's Decepticon hunter.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: His robot and alternate modes are based on rhinoceros beetles.

* DualWielding: Wields a Rapier-esque longsword and short sword in tandem.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He is disgusted by Steeljaw's betrayal.
* {{Flynning}}: His fighting style; he even calls and compliments his opponents' moves.
* GentlemanAdventurer: Fancies himself as this.
* HostageSituation: He takes Russel hostage and threatens to kill him in order to complete his mission unhindered without Bumblebee's interference.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He (mostly joking) accuses the Autobots of "unsportsmanship" when they face him three-against-one; but isn't above such behavior himself.
* KillItWithFire: He attempts to do this to Bumblebee by trapping him in a viaduct and filling it with molten metal.
* MookChivalry: After knocking down Bumblebee, he offers the Autobot a sporting chance by ordering the latter to get back on his feet.
* {{Pirate}}: Prior to his imprisonment on the ''Alchemor'', he was a notorious pirate who led a crew in plundering cargo starships.
* WickedCultured: He has a genuine sense of style and taste which most Decepticons lack. And if his pained reaction to Steeljaw's betrayal says anything, it showed that he expected the same level of class and fair play from other Decepticons that he believed himself to possess. It also doesn't hurt that he's one of the better developed Decepticons in the second season.
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Despite his combat prowess, he is taken out in one hit by Steeljaw in the second season finale to both solidify the latter's status as the new leader of the Decepticon army and demonstrate just how strong he is once armed with two Decepticon hunters.]]

* TheBrute: According to Cybertron's law enforcement database, he pillaged and destroyed several outlying communities on Cybertron ForTheEvulz, taking advantage of their lack of law enforcement presence.
* TheDragon: To Glowstrike.
* KlingonPromotion: Non-fatal example. While simply in stasis, he apparently became a victim of this, courtesy of Steeljaw's deception.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Meta example; his transformation scheme is different from all previous Scorponok incarnations. [[note]][[Wiki/TFWikiDotnet " Claws into claws, legs from the main body, tail sits behind, hoping to be ignored..."]][[/note]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She is introduced complaining about the quality of her minions and wishing for a reliable, competent Decepticon. Steeljaw introduces himself seconds later...
* BenevolentBoss: She can have her moments. She gives good promotions to ones she isn't disappointed with, such as with Steeljaw.
* BigBadWannabe: At first she looks to be the BigBad, as she is TheLeader of the Decepticons in half of the ''Alchemor''. [[spoiler:Towards the end, she gets overthrown by Steeljaw, who fully solidifies his position as BigBad.]]
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Is ostensibly based on a firefly.
* HandBlast: Is capable of firing red blasts of heat energy from her palm.
* TheLeader: Of a group of Decepticons that set up shop in the wreckage of the ''Alchemor'', [[spoiler:until [[TheStarscream Steeljaw]] obtains the Decepticon hunters stored aboard the ship and knocks her down from the leadership position]].
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:As she had a Decepticon hunter to re-take authority from Steeljaw, when Saberhorn is blasted by the latter, she shows a mild level of concern and horror. Her reaction gives enough time for Steeljaw to disarm and defeat her.]]
* SurroundedByIdiots: Her general opinion towards the Decepticons she leads.
* VillainousFriendship: Beside her disappointment toward him in his debut episode, Glowstrike and Saberhorn seem to share one together. [[spoiler:She is struck with horror when Steeljaw blasts him with his weapons]]
* WeHardlyKnewYe: For a Decepticon leader who was made out to be the main villain of the second season, Glowstrike doesn't get much development throughout her appearances. Her combat abilities were hardly ever displayed, save for a scene where we know she can shoot laser blasts from her hands, and she spends most of her time as a SatelliteCharacter for Steeljaw who completely upstages her towards the end, with her barely being able to put up so much as a struggle against him.

* DetachmentCombat: Like other Minicon deployers in the series, he is capable of doing this with his Minicon partner, Slicedice, who either [[OutsideRide rides on top of him]] or stores in his interior.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: In his attempt to evade Strongarm, he causes several other vehicles to veer off the road.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: A variant of this, as in the series, he is partnered with the Minicon Slicedice, who transforms into a torpedo not unlike Airazor and Divebomb. His deployer toy, however, is incompatible with such Minicons, and instead can only launch Cyclones, one of which is Hammer, packaged with the toy.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Given his small size, Slicedice is frequently picked up and tossed by the Autobots at Crazybolt to knock his master off-balance.
* KillItWithFire: In their second encounter, he attempts to immolate Bumblebee. While he doesn't succeed, the Autobot is left with several visible scorch marks.
* LizardFolk: The design basis for both himself and his partner, Slicedice.

* OutsideRide: If he isn't stored in Crazybolt's interior, Slicedice prefers to hitch a ride on his master's roof.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He was imprisoned on the ''Alchemor'' after destroying the majority of Steel City, claiming that the buildings there "impeded Cybertronians' natural velocity".
* PrinciplesZealot: He seeks to torch anything he perceives as an obstacle to unrestricted speed on the land, including buildings, machines, and forests, and doesn't care if his actions injure anyone else.
* PyroManiac: His penchant for fire starting is what attracts the Autobots' attention.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness:
** His first line upon encountering the Autobots practically reeks of this.
--> '''Strongarm''': You're under arrest for arson and whatever else we can think of before we put you back in stasis.\\
'''Crazybolt''': One 'Bot's arson is another 'Con's virtuous demolition of the impediments to forward progress in maximum velocity.
** Strongarm later [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this herself.
--> '''Strongarm''': I wish these 'Cons would come with a translator.
* ShesAManInJapan: In the Hungarian dub of the series, Crazybolt is female.
* SmokeOut: Is capable of doing this by shooting fire out of his side vents. In particular, he uses it to deter Strongarm from pursuing him.
* StickySituation: Lays a trap in this vein to ensnare Strongarm.
* SycophanticServant: Slicedice plays this role to Crazybolt, with much of his characterization entailing praising what his master says.
* UndyingLoyalty: Slicedice's devotion to Crazybolt has been described by Fixit to be "fanatical".
* VisionaryVillain: Slicedice frames him as this for his "need for speed" ideology.
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: In defiance to what the Autobots think, he apparently views himself as the freedom fighter, as his line under SesquipedalianLoquaciousness suggests.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Jonathan Adams at work.
* LifeDrain: Like Nightstrike, he can drain other Transformers of their energon, siphoning it from them through his claws.
* OffstageVillainy: As he lacks an entry in the ''Alchemor's'' prison manifest, it is currently unknown how he wound up on Earth and what his previous criminal deeds were.
* PaletteSwap: He is a recolored version of Scratch that lacks a tail, intended to more closely resemble a cougar compared to Scratch's puma inspiration.
* PantheraAwesome: His robot mode incorporates cougar-like characteristics.
* UndyingLoyalty: Subverted. Given his behavior, he is the only Minicon deployer in the series (apart from Overload, who allied with nigh-uncontrollable Cyclones) whose Minicons do not feel this way towards him. See UngratefulBastard for more details.
* UngratefulBastard: Unlike the other Minicon deployers in the series, he shows no appreciation for the efforts of Swelter and Glacius in bringing him other Transformers to feed on, and it is implied that he may have threatened to kill them before.

* DetachmentCombat: He stores his Minicons in his shoulders, and can launch them like any other Minicon deployer.
* DisintegratorRay: He straps Bumblebee and Strongarm to a particle accelerator and threatened to use it to vaporize them into subatomic particles.
* EvilGenius: He prides himself on his intellect. Unlike most depictions of this trope, however, he has the muscle to match his immense brainpower.
* GeniusBruiser: He's both intelligent (and proud of it) and strong enough to take out Bumblebee and Strongarm with minimal difficulty.
* HairTriggerTemper: After the failure of his last experiment on Cybertron, he brutally beat his lab partners to a pulp, leading to his imprisonment on the ''Alchemor''.
* HostageSituation: As Grimlock stole the circuit board he wanted, he in turn uses Bumblebee and Strongarm in this manner against the Dinobot.
* KillerGorilla: He shares a body-type with Groundpounder, which also makes him this, albeit in a more symmetrical manner. His features, however, lean more towards resembling an orangutan, compared to Groundpounder's gorilla.
* ManiacMonkeys: Being smaller than their master, his Mini-Cons, Axiom and Theorem, lean more towards this trope.

->'''First Appearance:''' "Out Of The Shadows"
* EvilMentor: Was one towards Drift.
* {{Greed}}: His FatalFlaw. At the beginning of the episode, Drift mentions that his pleasure in corrupting innocents is matched only by his greed. It's eventually used against him, when he hears Jetstorm mentioning the Shanix back in the episode ''Defrosted''.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He has the audacity to tell Drift it was dishonorable to take away Slipstream and Jetstorm from his "care" (Drift implies that the Mini-Cons are not property), yet the way he fights clearly has nothing to do with honor.
* KnightOfCerebus: Shadow Raker has none of the comical qualities or quirks of most other Decepticons in the show and is easily one of the more serious villains of the series with both the personality and fighting abilities to show for it.
* MasterSwordsman: He was the teacher of Drift after all.
* [[MixAndMatchCritters Mix And Match]] [[BigCreepyCrawlies Creepy Crawlies]]: His alternate form is a cross between a spider with beetle wings.
* PaletteSwap: His character model is a heavily tweaked variation of Saberhorn.

* UndyingLoyalty: Like Soundwave, he remains consistently loyal to Megatron, to the point that he remained on Earth for many eons and continued his mission, despite losing contact with Decepticon command.
