* SurvivorGuilt: Whiplash, the lone survivor of not one but two separate Decepticon attacks.

Added DiffLines:

* ColossusClimb: Whiplash doesn't normally like to engage an enemy directly because most Decepticons are much larger and more powerful. But when he has to, this is his favored tactic.


Added DiffLines:

* NoOSHACompliance: The Eyesore, a half-finished office building left to languish as an abandoned construction site in Topeka. [[SarcasmMode The lobby seems like a great place to have a giant robot battle.]]

* WakeUpCallBoss: Ravage. Rumble, though a legitimate threat, is easy to derail with taunting and distraction. Ravage is an [[ImplacableMan utterly implacable foe]] that is focused exclusively on his target, Whiplash, sparing only enough attention to Nic to absently swat her away.
