11
12	The former City-Speaker of Caminus, she has since abandoned that title in order to pursue her vendetta against the Combiners that have ravaged her homeworld.
13	----
14	* ActionGirl: She ain't a slouch in combat, she's strong enough to take on Combiners and win!
15	* AdaptationalBadass: Windblade as introduced in the IDW comics is a capable enough fighter, but this version of her is able to bring down a combiner almost single-handed.
16	* AdaptationalJerkass: Windblade as she was introduced in the IDW comics was a sort of inguene who genuinely wants to have peace between Autobots, Decepticons and the various Transformer colony worlds like Caminus. ''Combiner Wars'' Windblade is angry and hateful, [[TookALevelInKindness though she significantly mellows out by the sequel]].
17	* BlowYouAway: During her fight with Optimus Prime, Windblade uses her turbines to send Optimus flying. It doesn't help, as Optimus manages to disarm her soon after. She also uses this during the fight against [[spoiler:Starscream]].
18	* CoolSword: Carries her trademark Stormfall Blade, that is actually strong enough to not only hurt but actually kill a Combiner.
19	* DefrostingIceQueen: After being portrayed angry and angsty in Episodes 1, 2 and 3, Episode 4 has Windblade giggle at one of Megatron's jokes, much to [[TheComicallySerious Optimus Prime]]'s annoyance.
20	* ILetGwenStacyDie: Maxima's death in particular is what sends Windblade into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
21	* KnightInSourArmor: Windblade's experiences have left her bitter and angry.
22	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Windblade is on a quest to wipe out the Combiners and the Enigma of Combination, blaming them for the devastation done to her homeworld and the death of many of her friends.
23	* TookALevelInKindness: With the Combiner Wars over, Windblade has significantly mellowed out by the time of ''Titans Return''.

31	->'''First Appearance: Optimus Prelude, Episode 2 "The Council"'''
32
33	The former leader of the Autobots. Fearing that the introduction of the Combiners will lead to an escalation of the war terrible enough to destroy Cybertron itself, he challenged Megatron to a final duel. After defeating Megatron in said duel, he sent himself into exile, feeling that he as a living symbol of the war, he would only cause trouble.
34
35	After meeting Windblade, Optimus agrees to join her on her quest to destroy the Enigma of Combination.
36	----
37	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:To the surprise of no one, he comes back to life in the end of ''Power of The Primes'' after being killed back in ''Titans Return''.]]
38	** Megatron jokes of that one time that he killed him and asks if he's still mad about that.
39	* BigBadassRig: It ain't Optimus without his iconic truck alternate mode.
40	* BigGood: Is this somewhat for ''Combiner Wars'' and ''Titans Return'', but then again it is Optimus Prime, so that's a given.
41	* {{BFG}}: His iconic Ion Blaster which packs quite a punch. It even manages to faze Trypticon.
42	* TheDeterminator: Rodimus warns his fellow council members that once Optimus Prime has decided on a course of action, nothing will stop him.
43	* TheExile: Optimus exiled himself following the war, hoping that this would lead to lasting peace.
44	* NoMouth: Sports his famous mouth plate, although with a slightly different design from his original. And as per usual it moves up and down when he speaks.
45	* NoodleIncident: Megatron mentions that one time he killed him and jokingly asks if he's still peeved about that event.
46	* RetiredBadass: His solo episode reveals Optimus lives on his own in some ruins somewhere in Cybertron's wastelands.
47	* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Is killed off by Megatronus in the finale of the ''Titans Return'' series. To more or less show how powerful Megatronus really is, but as per usual it doesn't stick]]
48	* ScarsAreForever: While not exactly a scar per se, but a part of his windshield is cracked. Which he seems to have gotten during his final duel with Megatron. He hasn't had it fixed or repaired after so long.
49	* VaguenessIsComing: During a conversation with Megatron, he mentions that [[spoiler:the Primes are going to return]]. The former Decepticon laughs him off at first.
50	* VitriolicBestBuds: Him and Megatron sometimes has this dynamic, mostly because of them being formerly archenemies.

56
57	->'''Voiced by: Creator/JasonMarnocha'''
58	->'''First Appearance: Optimus Prelude, Episode 4 "Unforgotten"'''
59
60	The former leader of the Decepticons. Following his defeat in a final duel by Optimus Prime, Megatron was exiled and has since made his home on a dead world.
61
62	After Optimus and Windblade meet with him and inform him Starscream has the Enigma of Combination, Megatron agrees to join them. He plays a much smaller role in the sequel series, ''Titans Return'', sitting out of it and most of the time just observing what goes on and having a small subplot. But he gets a much larger role in ''Power of the Primes'', now being the leader of a rather unorthodox team. For some reason he's also now a triple changer, being able to turn into a tank or a {{BFG}}.
63	----
64	* AdaptationalHeroism: After the end of the Great War, he soon somewhat mellows out and isn't maniacal or tyrannical as he used to be. Still there is the slight edge of evil within him, but he ultimately is in the side of good, as much as he hates to admit it.
65	* AntiHero: While he does somewhat fight for good, he is still the Megatron we all know and love. Only much older and less of villainous.
66	* ArmCannon: Well what would Megatron be without his trademark Fusion Cannon? Now also working as the cannon for his Tank Mode.
67	* {{BFG}}: As an upgrade to his classic pistol alternate mode, he now also turns into a giant gun. In fact when Optimus is talking about something with enough firepower to either destroy or at least damage the Enigma Of Combination, Prime immediately goes after him.
68	** He also carries the Requiem Blaster throughout most of the episodes in ''Power of the Primes''. Even managing to use it too.
69	* BadassArmfold: His default stance when he isn't doing anything in particular.
70	* BloodKnight: Well it is Megatron, he still enjoys the thrill of fighting. But at least not to the degree he used to have.
71	* CombatCompliment: Megatron is thrilled to see Optimus Prime is as tough as ever.
72	** When he realizes that he's been played for a fool, he genuinely praises [[spoiler:Starscream]].
73	* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Unicron tries to pull one on him after his Matrix of Chaos is taken out of Hot Rod's chest. But thanks to some willpower he manages to rebuff enough for Optimal Optimus to kill both him and Unicron for good.]]
74	* DeadpanSnarker: Most versions of Megatron frequently have their own fair degree of snark or sass but this incarnation turns it up to 11. Megatron always sounds like he's having a go at you, regardless of what he's saying. He's always prone to doing digs and jokes to a degree never seen before. It's kinda beautiful and funny.
75	-->'''Megatron:''' "Oh good. I get to kill another Prime."
76	* DefiantStoneThrow: He does this [[spoiler:once Megatronus shows up, stating not only did he appropriate the Prime's name for himself, but became a GalacticConqueror and HeroKiller as well. He then proceeds to go into HeroicSelfDeprecation mixed with a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Megatronus]], later revealed to be a mere distraction for Fortress Maximus and Optimus Prime to attack.
77	* TheDeterminator: Rodimus Prime warns his fellow council members that Megatron is even more determined than Optimus Prime himself once he has his mind set on something.
78	* FlatEarthAtheist: He blows off the Primes and Optimus's visions despite having some familiarity with Unicron.
79	* GoodOldFisticuffs: Unlike Optimus whom still has his Energon Axe, Megatron uses fisticuffs and his strength in combat, instead of using his Energon Flail/Mace. Still he is a formidable fighter.
80	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Sacrifices his own life in order to kill Unicron off for real.]]
81	* HeroicWillpower: While he probably won't exactly call it that, [[spoiler:he has enough willpower to fight back Unicron when the chaos-bringer himself was trying to possess his former disciple.]]
82	* LeeroyJenkins: Once he and Starscream exchange words, Megatron immediately flies up and blasts him, despite Optimus' attempt to stop him. As a result, any chance of a peaceful resolution go down the drain.
83	* ItAmusedMe: He's not really that interested in doing the right thing, mostly because he's Megatron. In ''Titans Return'', watching the heroes desperately struggle to survive is entertaining to him, although he ultimately does lend a servo.
84	* LightningBruiser: Megatron's pretty light on his feet and a major powerhouse. His first battle in the ''Titans Return'' series is him vs all four combiners. They barely slow him down and at one point ''he picks Devastator up and throws him into Victorion''! And he's actively holding back throughout.
85	* NoodleIncident: When chatting with Prime, he jokes if the former Autobot leader is still pissed off about that one time he killed him.
86	** There have been a few mentions about how he used to be Galvatron. There is no explanation to even how he became Megatron again after that.
87	* NotMeThisTime: In Episode 6, Optimus accuses Megatron of betraying himself and Windblade when they catch sight of Devastator. Megatron replies that if he planned to betray them, Optimus would already be dead. Windblade later accuses Megatron of being part of [[spoiler:Starscream]]'s scheme, but Megatron again denies it.
88	* ReformedButRejected: No one, not even his former followers, wants to give Megatron the benefit of the doubt. While he claims not to really care that much about it, it ultimately annoys him from time to time.
89	* ScarsAreForever: He gets a scar over the left side of his face from his last fight with Optimus Prime. He hasn't seem to have gotten it repaired in anyway, shape or form after that.
90	* TankGoodness: Alongside his Gun alternate mode (now upgraded to being a BFG instead of a Pistol) he also has a Tank Alternate Mode.
91	* TokenEvilTeammate: He's tagging along on the mission to destroy the Enigma, but he's very much still Megatron. Although he does slowly become a more heroic character later on, especially in ''Power of The Primes''.
92	* VitriolicBestBuds: Somewhat has this dynamic with Optimus Prime, mostly because they were archenemies during the Great War.
93	** This also extends to most of the Autobots and good guys of the group, mostly because he's the only Decepticon member of the group.
94	[[/folder]]
95
96	[[folder:The Council of Worlds]]
97	The current rulers of Cybertron, the Council is represented by an Autobot (Rodimus Prime), a Decepticon (Starscream) and a colonist (The Mistress of Flame). Charged with maintaining the fragile peace that followed the end of the war, the Council is extremely worried about the Combiner threat.
98
99	!!The Council as a whole
100	* GodzillaThreshold: Much of their bickering revolves around whether or not they've crossed this.
101	* HeadInTheSandManagement: The devastation inflicted on Caminus seems to have occurred on their watch. In all their appearances thus far, they've been arguing about the correct course of action.
102	* OhCrap: The sight of Optimus Prime and Megatron working together to breach their defences terrifies them.
103	* RuleOfThree: The Council is made up of a high-ranking Autobot, the Decepticon second-in-command and the religious ruler of a neutral colony world.

110
111	Successor to Optimus Prime. While he still respects his predecessor, he's determined to be his own bot and come up with a solution to the Combiner threat, even if his solution meets with Optimus' disapproval.
112	----
113	* AnArmAndALeg: Devastator makes his appearance at the end of Episode 5 by ripping Rodimus' arm off. He gets better later on though.
114	* ArmCannon: After getting his arm ripped off by Devastator. He later on gets a new arm with a hidden cannon inside of it from the Council, not unlike the built-in weapons used by Transformers in the Live-Action movies or Prime. It is also strong enough to somewhat hurt Trypticon.
115	* BroughtDownToNormal: He goes back to being Hot Rod, [[spoiler:having given up the Matrix as atonement for the recent events back in ''Combiner Wars'']].
116	* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Thanks to Overlord, he gets the Matrix of Chaos. Which holds Unicron's essence shoved into his chest and is forcefully turned into Rodimus Cron.]]
117	* GodzillaThreshold: Believes that using the Enigma of Combination to create more Combiners is necessary to counter the destruction caused by the Combiners.
118	* IHaveManyNames: He goes by Rodimus Prime, Rodimus, Hot Rod, [[spoiler:then Rodimus Cron, and finally Rodimus Unicronus]].
119	* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Inverted. [[spoiler:After he returns the Matrix of Leadership to the council.]] He almost instantly reverts back to the younger, less mature Hot Rod.
120	* StartXToStopX: Suggests using the Enigma of Combination to create more Combiners under the Council's control.

127
128	Successor to Megatron. While he freely admits that he wanted to overthrow Megatron and take his place, becoming part of the Council of Worlds has tempered his ambitions with a new-found sense of responsibility. [[spoiler:Or so he claimed before seizing the Enigma of Combination for himself.]]
129	----
130	* TheAtoner: In Episode 5, Starscream tells Megatron that he's been trying to make up for his sins, something he hinted at in his own solo promo. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Then he betrays the Council by using the Enigma of Combination to forcibly combine with Computron, Menasor, Devastator and Victorion.]]]]
131	* TheChainsOfCommanding: In his solo episode, Starscream mentions that being leader was far more difficult than he thought it'd be.
132	* TheLongGame: As of Episode 6, [[spoiler:Starscream has control over the Enigma of Combination, and notes he'd been planning for a long, long time]].
133	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Compared to Rodimus (who wants to create more Combiners to counter the ones already on the loose) and the Mistress Of Flame (who wants to use the Enigma of Combination to kill all Combiners), Starscream comes off as this.
134	* ReformedButRejected: When Megatron tells Starscream that whatever plot he's planned will fail, Starscream bitterly retorts that there ''is'' no plot. [[spoiler:Except there is.]]
135	* TheStarscream: While he was this in the past, Starscream seems to genuinely work for peace. [[spoiler:At least until Episode 6, where he takes the Enigma for himself.]]
136
137	!!Mistress Of Flame

140	->'''First Appearance: Episode 2'''
141
142	A native of Caminus, the Mistress of Flame effectively abandoned Caminus to become a member of the Council of Worlds alongside Rodimus Prime and Starscream.
143	----
144	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the IDW comics, she acts as a religious leader and encourages Optimus Prime in full accepting the title of "Prime" and all the religious connotations the title has. Other than that, she focuses on looking after her people on Caminus. Here, she repeatedly suggests using the Enigma of Combination to kill their enemies, and outright tells Windblade to "Know your place!" during their confrontation in Episode 5.
145	* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Dies at the hands of Overlord in ''Titans Return''.]]
146	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Windblade feels that the Mistress' abandonment of Caminus to join the Council is basically this.
147	* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:Is killed off by Overlord in ''Titans Return'', at least she put up a fight.]]

158	----
159	* CombatPragmatist: Makes use of his combiner kibble (specifically Nosecone's drill mounted on his left leg and Strafe's blasters on his right arm) during his fight with Menasor.
160	* EarlyBirdCameo: Makes his first appearance in Windblade's prelude before making appearance in the show.
161	* ThisIsADrill: Nosecone forms one of his limbs.

170	----
171	* AdaptationalIntelligence: This Menasor speaks in normal sentences and isn't mentally unstable.
172	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Windblade slices him in half. In Episode 6, his torso is still clearly cut in two.
173	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Pulls this on Windblade after she slices him in half.

179
180	The combined mode of the Constructicons.
181	----
182	* CombiningMecha: Unlike Menasor and Computron (who were only seen in combined mode), Devastator's appearance in Episode 5 follows the appearance of Long Haul, Scavenger and Scrapper (who form his waist and hips, right arm and right leg respectively) in the previous episode.
183	* EvilSoundsDeep: Patrick Seitz gives him a deep, booming voice in ''Combiner Wars''.
184	* FantasticRacism: Devastator's rant in Episode 6 suggests that he was forcibly split back into his Constructicon components because other Transformers were afraid of him, and that other Combiners shared the same fate.
185	* IncomingHam: His first appearance in ''Combiner Wars'' has him bursting through the floor of the council chambers, tearing off Rodimus's arm, laughing loudly all the while.
186

190
191	A Combiner neither Autobot nor Decepticon, Victorion hopes to show other Combiners a path to peace.
192	----
193	* AdvertisedExtra: Of the four people who got a promotional short, Victorion easily has the least to do. She only appears 6 episodes into the 8 episode series.
194	* CoolSword: Her broadsword is made out of weapons from all of the bots whom make up her being. Unfortunately after she loses one of them she isn't able to make the blade anymore, now being forced to use a PowerfulPick
195	* HandicappedBadass: After losing her arm to [[spoiler:Megatronus]]. She spends most of ''Power of the Primes'' just running around sans an arm, but she can handle her own. Somewhat.
196	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Possibly Dust Up by Megatronus, and also Victorion herself by Rodimus Cron after he rips her head off with his own bare hands.]]
197	* LeaderWannabe: She tries to appoint herself leader of Megatron's team in ''Power of the Primes'', despite ultimately following the former's plan and lead.
198	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her arrival distracts Devastator, Optimus Prime, Megatron and Windblade, giving the Council the time they need to unlock the Enigma of Combination and activate it.
199	* OffWithHerHead: [[spoiler:She gets her head ripped off of her shoulders by Rodimus Cron's hands, which kills her]].
200	* PowerfulPick: After losing a component [[spoiler:(possibly Dust Up)]] of her combined form , she isn't able to use her sword anymore. Now being forced to use Pyra Magna's Pick Axe/Cudgel which was also formerly the hilt and handle of Victorion's sword.
201	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The first ever female combiner made and also the only on in this Trilogy.
202	* TheWorfEffect: She is completely useless once she actually appears in the series, despite being played up as a savior. It gets even worse in the next two subsequent series, ''Titans Return'' and ''Power of the Primes''.

235
236	A native of Caminus and Windblade's close friend.
237	Maxima was on Caminus when Computron and Menasor fell onto the planet. With Computron out of commission, she and Windblade tried to bring the giant Decepticon down. Menasor retaliated by knocking off both of her arms, and Maxima bought time for Windblade by firing her jets directly into Menasor's eyes. This self-sacrificing move proved fatal, and Maxima was killed by Menasor shortly afterwards.
238	----
239	* CanonForeigner: She was created for this series using Windblade's template. Probably to just be killed off.
240	* MadeOfPlasticine: Her arm falls off easily after being swatted aside by Menasor. Which is kinda embarrassing to say the least.
241	* PaletteSwap: She is pretty much a reuse of Windblade's model but in new colors and with a new head.
242	* WeHardlyKnewYe: She is introduced and dies before the first episode even ended
243	* TragicKeepsake: Windblade keeps her blaster rifle after her death. She attempts to use it to try and destroy the Enigma of Combination. However Optimus Prime, mistakenly thinking that Windblade was trying to assassinate, interferes and destroys it in half, which unfortunately sends her into a rage.

255	* LampshadeHanging: In ''Titans Return'', he saw the events of ''Combiner Wars'' from afar and wonders what was up with the giant Starscream head.
256	* NoSell: The only time he was ever physically bothered by an opponent's attack was when [[spoiler:he was atomized with a ''cataclysmically powerful superweapon'']]. Anything short of that barely wears at his paintjob, let alone his armor.
257	* FauxAffablyEvil: Overlord's introduction involves him calmly talking to the Mistress of Flame... about how he's going to destroy everything she stands for, and shortly before fatally wounding her and leaving her for dead.
258	* SouthernGentleman: Half-way at least. He has a typical smooth southern inflection, but he only plays at being a gentleman to amuse himself.

269	Long ago, Megatronus was hailed as a hero for his defeat of Unicron using the Requiem Blaster. However, he and his lover Solus Prime clashed over what to do with the Blaster afterwards, as Megatronus wanted to keep it for his own rather than see it destroyed. As the two fought, the weapon was accidentally discharged, killing Solus and leaving Megatronus to grieve. Without warning The other Primes took back the Blaster from Megatronus, sealing it away, and he placed himself into exile until he could find a way to reunite with his deceased love.
270	----
271	* ApocalypseHow: His ultimate plan is to cause genocide in order to bring back Solus Prime.
272	* BigBad: Of the entire trilogy. Being responsible for the Combiner Wars, Starscream being turned into Trypticon and etc.
273	* BroughtDownToNormal: Megatronus's constant use of his powers over the course of the series drains him just enough for the heroes to push back against him in the end.
274	* GreaterScopeVillain: The true villain of the entire series.
275	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His scheme to bring back to Solus Prime is what ultimately becomes his undoing as Solus herself is what defeats and kills him for good.
276	* PlayingWithFire: He has the ability to control fire which he usually uses for offensive purposes, just like his Dreamwave incarnation.
277	** Hilariously enough a lot of captions on his images from TF Wiki, have quotes from the Fire Lord Ozai as a joking reference.
278	* WalkingSpoiler: He does not appear until the final episode of ''Titans Return'' and turns out to be responsible for the events of the trilogy.

290	Optimus Primal was the latest in a long line of noble Cybertronians tasked by the gods with guarding the Requiem Blaster. For as long as he could remember, he was sealed with it inside a dome in Primal Swamp to watch over it. This continued until Megatron eventually found and entered the vault, hoping to retrieve the Blaster in order to keep it out of Megatronus's clutches. Primal appeared before him and fought to defend the Blaster, but Megatron told him that Cybertron was facing extinction and that he was prepared to give his life to save the planet. Sensing the truth in his words, Primal relinquished the Blaster to Megatron, who left the vault with it. As the former Decepticon and his team discussed their next move, Primal followed him outside and properly introduced himself, and soon joins in on the quest to stop Megatronus.

292	* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler:Optimal Optimus is notorious for being constantly hit with TheWorfEffect and taken out practically every episode in Beast Wars sans his introduction. But here he's able to fight a full powered Rodimus Unicronus one on one and ultimately lays him out long enough for the team to pin him down. Then, he pulls the Matrix of Chaos out of his chest himself.]]
293	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Outside the original toyline early on, most ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' fiction overall paints that titular event as happening (barring time travel) centuries after the Autobot/Decepticon war. This series sees Optimus Primal only years after the war interacting with the original Megatron [[spoiler:and Primal's own namesake after he's once again resurrected]].
294	* AmnesiacHero: He can't exactly remember anything about his life before even standing guard over the Requiem Blaster. Which makes him quite the mysterious bot.
295	* AmplifierArtifact: [[spoiler:After the Matrix of Leadership chose him, he would later be upgraded into his Optimal Optimus form.]]
296	* GoodOldFisticuffs: He doesn't seem to have the same armaments his Beast Wars incarnation had, only having his fists and arguably the Requiem Blaster. But he's still quite capable in his own right.
297	* LargeAndInCharge: [[spoiler:After being chosen to be the newest Prime, he gets upgraded into his large Optimal Optimus form.]]
