| 8 | |
| 9 | !Autobot Academy |
| 10 | The main setting of the series, the Acadeimos Autobot Elite Guard Academy, often shortened to Autobot Academy, is where the next generation of Autobot heroes are trained. There, the students learn how to use their talents and protect the people of the Cybertronian Commonwealth, when not getting into wacky hijinks and stopping Decepticon plots, of course. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | !!In General: |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * AcademyOfAdventure: Autobot Academy attracts a lot of adventure for it's students, from secret labs and villain infilitrations to visits from pro heroes and time travelers. In fact, visiting Axel Academy student Slicer notes how weird a single day can be there compared to his own school. |
| 15 | -->'''Lightbright''': ''That [stuff] doesn't happen to you at Axel?'' |
| 16 | -->'''Slicer''': ''No! The most exciting things there are races in the desert!'' |
| 17 | * AlwaysInClassOne: Most of the very top main characters in the comic are in Class 4-A. The rest are in Class 4-D, with the remaining five spilling into Class 4-B and 4-C, which were otherwise reserved for the main characters of the Roleplay. |
| 18 | * SuperheroSchool: The main focus of Autobot Academy is teaching it's students how to use their talents, to the point where some have enrolled for that purpose alone. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | !!Class 4-A: |

| 45 | * RhymingNames: L'''ight'''br'''ight'''. |

| 51 | !!!'''Talent:''' AdaptiveAbility |
| 52 | ->'''Played by:''' [=Devaron9=] |
| 53 | One of the local delinquents, Rampage can often be seen hanging around, minding his own business. Most bots are wary of him, for fairly obvious reasons. |
| 54 | ---- |
| 55 | * AdaptiveAbility: Rampage can alter his capabilities to make fighting his opponents easier. |
| 56 | * TheDreaded: Rampage is perhaps the most feared student in the Autobot Academy. His mere presence is enough to make anyone frightened and more agreeable, and even the aggressive Moonracer instantly apologizes when she accidentally bumps into him. |
| 57 | * EnemyWithin: Rampage has to deal with a second personality known as Unit 10. While Rampage is restrained and chill, Unit 10 is violent, cruel, and delights in inflicting pain on those who dare attack him. |
| 58 | * InformedAttribute: The profiles describes him as a delinquent that [[MonsterousCannibalism attempts to eat his fellow students]] when mad. While this might apply to his Unit 10 self, Rampage isn't shown acting like this normally, and has only threatened to eat someone outright ''once''. |
| 59 | * SmokingIsCool: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], as while Rampage has been shown smoking to enhance his delinquent image... you can count on one hand the number of times he's been seen with a cigarette. And that's including his profile and a cover. |

| 68 | * AllLovingHero: Transmutate will try to bond with anyone she meets, including Rampage and a larva of the same species as Mothra. |
| 69 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She deals a seemingly fatal blow to Shockaract, and does the same later to [[spoiler:Great Convoy, weakening him enough that Megatron can finish him him off.]] |
| 70 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: Transmutate gets drunk after a single drink. |
| 71 | * CooldownHug: Transmutate's Calming Aura talent allows her to bring even the most berserk individuals to a peaceful state. |
| 72 | * DreamingOfThingsToCome: Transmutate regularly had dreams of what turned out to be the Dark Future. This is actually a side effect of her coming to the past, and these dreams are actually lost memories. |
| 73 | * ManOfKryptonite: When a group of Cybermen attack, Transmutate's Talent allows her to overload their EmotionSuppression technology, which quickly proves fatal to them, |
| 74 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Transmutate is generally happy. If something upsets her, or worse, makes her mad, then you know things are serious. |
| 75 | * NaiveEverygirl: Transmutate is pretty much happy all the time. However, she has trouble understanding certain things, such as a physical dress for her holomatter avatar being unusable and not a good idea for a Christmas present, even when people point them out to her. She also mistakes a piece of fan fiction as a source of genuine information, despite it being clearly labeled as such in the title. |
| 76 | * StableTimeLoop: Transmutate was cloned in the Dark Future from an Autobot Academy student, then intended to be sent back in time to replace the original. As it turns out, she was also the original. |

| 86 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish sibling to Glyph's responsible, being very impulsive. |

| 90 | [[folder:Glyph]] |

| 102 | ->'''Played by:''' Stonecrusher, [=GogoDG=] |
| 103 | The oldest of the Autobot Brothers, he can take a lot of damage due to his armor strength. Which comes in handy when he inevitably rushes into a fight. |
| 104 | ---- |
| 105 | * FreudianTrio: Among the Autobot Brothers, X-Brawn is the Ego. He may be impulsive, but he's also intelligent and thoughtful. |

| 107 | * LeeroyJenkins: X-Brawn tends to rush into fights without a second thought, even if it means hitting someone on his side. |

| 126 | ---- |
| 127 | * FreudianTrio: Among the Autobot Brothers, Side Burn is the Id. He's hotheaded and is easily distracted by a cute red bot. |
| 128 | * HasAType: Well, red armor, but Side Burn will hit on on anyone with a primarily red color scheme, regardless of gender. |

| 138 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Knowing that he's doomed no matter what, Beta Maxx gives the friends he made in the past a chance to finish his mission by absorbing the energy of a Chronowarp Cell directly into his spark, causing a PhlebotinumOverload so powerful it vaporizes King Atlas, turns back the programming of every Omega SPREEM, and causes a CrackInTheSky ''in the past'', but it vaporizes himself in the process.]] |
| 139 | * KidFromTheFuture: [[spoiler: The son of Tap-Out and Stiletto from the Dark Future.]] |
| 140 | * LikeADuckTakesToWater: Beta Maxx has no problem blending in when he goes back in time and becomes a student at Autobot Academy. |
| 141 | * LukeYouAreMyFather: [[spoiler: Before sacrificing himself, Beta Maxx reveals to Tap-Out that he's his future son.]] |

| 143 | * SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Beta Maxx's mission is to change the timeline so that the BadFuture he lives in never happens. [[spoiler: He doesn't manage to do it himself, but his efforts do lead to a better future.]] |
| 144 | * SixthRanger: Doesn't join Class 4-A until the second semester. |
| 145 | * TerminatorTwosome: Starts out this way with King Atlas, being the one who wants to change the past for the better while King Atlas intends to ensure the Neo-Maximals come to power. Then the Neo-Maximals start sending back more enforcers. |
| 146 | * TimeMaster: Beta Maxx has the talent of Chronokinesis. He can make it so TimeStandsStill to rescue his allies, or freeze select people or objects to either make them easier to hit or impossible to break through. |

| 150 | [[folder:Artillery]] |
| 151 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/autoacaartillery.jpg]] |
| 152 | !!!'''Talent:''' [[MoreThanMindControl Aura of Dominance]] |
| 153 | ->'''Played by:''' Stonecrusher |
| 154 | |
| 155 | Artillery isn't the hero type. She's gathered an army of students from twenty-five schools to form a resistance in an effort to stand against the hero system she views as outdated, and only wound up at Autobot Academy by accident. As such, she's viewed with suspicion by most, and her resemblance to a certain crime lord doesn't help. |
| 156 | ---- |
| 157 | * ArmCannon: Artillery has the cannon from her tank mode mounted on her forearm. It also has a more powerful Full Blast Mode that turns it into a WaveMotionGun strong enough to rip the arm of of [[TheJuggernaut King Atlas]] ''in one shot''. |
| 158 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: The ability to weaken the willpower of others isn't the most heroic of talents, but Artillery truly desires to make the world a better place. |
| 159 | * BerserkButton: Don't suggest she's becoming the next Megatron. While normally collected even while fighting, making this comparison will cause Artillery to snap and attempt to deliver a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. |
| 160 | * DistaffCounterpart: With her overall appearance, mannerisms, and actions, Artillery is clearly a female version of Megatron, with the resemblance even being called out InUniverse. [[spoiler:However, this [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as Artillery is in fact Megatron's daughter. Evidently, ItRunsInTheFamily.]] |
| 161 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Artillery can be seen sitting on the ''Xanthium'' before her introductory issue "Day One". |
| 162 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In early issues, Artillery acted far more villainous, intending to conquer the schools forming her resistance, and despite claiming she was working to prevent the secret Decepticon takeover, her profile implied she was lying about this being her true motivation. |
| 163 | * {{Expy}}: Of Takeshi Hokuto from ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool'', at least initially. Both had plans to raise an army of students school by school until they made a mistake in the transfer process, and claimed they were trying to stop their father, the chairman of the school board, from enacting a dark plan. In fact, Artillery's holomatter avatar was originally identical to him. |
| 164 | * MoreThanMindControl: Artillery's talent, Aura of Dominance, doesn't let her control the minds of others, but rather weakens their will so they'll be more likely to obey her. |
| 165 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Artillery is certainly not a villain. However, when made one for a training exercise, Artillery gets so invested in the role that she even plans to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness turn on her teammates at the end of the exercise]]. |
| 166 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Artillery desires to bring about a world where one can be a hero without fancy powers or a badge. Her methods of bringing this vision about, however, involve getting herself transferred to various academies one-by-one to convince the students there to join her cause and form cells after she leaves, and she happily takes opportunities to show up the current hero system. |

| 173 | |
| 174 | One of Artillery's two friends and top subordinates in her resistance, Sonar is the nicest and most social of the three. |
| 175 | ---- |
| 176 | * BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: Sonar was tasked with monitoring Artillery by acting as her friend. However, after spending so much time with her and their classmates at Autobot Academy, Sonar realizes that they have been on the wrong side and betrays their masters to help their friends.]] |
| 177 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Sonar can be seen sitting on the ''Xanthium'' before their introductory issue "Day One". |
| 178 | * {{Expy}}: Sonar was designed to resemble a [[GenderFlip female version]] of Soundwave created by [=TFW2005=] user Porkulus. |
| 179 | * InNameOnly: The name Sonar has been used by official ''Transformers'' characters, none of whom share anything of note with this Sonar. |
| 180 | * MakeSomeNoise: Sonar's talent allows them to control sound, primarily to fire sonic blasts from their back. |
| 181 | * ModifiedClone: [[spoiler: Sonar was created using a spare BodyBackupDrive of Soundwave. However, the two look very different, with the most notable aspect being that Sonar turns into a van while Soundwave becomes a jet.]] |
| 182 | * TheMole: [[spoiler: Sonar was created to spy on Artillery for Megatron and monitor her activities, though they also provided other important pieces of information to the Decepticons.]] |
| 183 | * OppositeSexClone: [[spoiler: Sonar is biologically female, as evidenced by their [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics noticeable eyelashes]], while their template Soundwave is male.]] |
| 184 | * QueerEstablishingMoment: Sonar was initially shown to be female. Them being genderfluid was revealed when Artillery ran into PronounTrouble. |
| 185 | -->'''Artillery''': You will follow her every order, understood? |
| 186 | -->'''Sonar''': Thanks Arty! But, uh, it should be "his orders"... |
| 187 | -->'''Artillery''': Huh? What do you mean. |
| 188 | -->'''Sonar''': Oh, uh, I'm genderfluid, remember? |

| 194 | ->'''Played by:''' Stonecrusher |
| 195 | |
| 196 | Artillery's other best friend and top subordinates in her resistance, Tremor is cold but fiercely loyal to her leader. |
| 197 | ---- |
| 198 | * CanonForeigner: Everything about Tremor was created for the series, unlike her two companions. |
| 199 | * DistaffCounterpart: Tremor is a female version of Shockwave in design and personality. |
| 200 | * EnergyAbsorption: Tremor's talent, Blast Processing, allows her to absorb lasers she's shot with and fire them back out. |
| 201 | * EyePatchOfPower: Tremor's right optic is covered by a patch, for reasons unknown. |
| 202 | * IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: Tremor has a crush on Artillery. However, she doesn't talk about it, and her friend hasn't seemed to have picked up on her feelings. |

| 210 | "[=GorillaBot=]" is a seemingly normal, if unusually smart, animal that was found in the Forest of Trials and somehow managed to get enrolled into Autobot Academy as a student. |
| 211 | ---- |
| 212 | * {[Expy}}: Of Gorilla from ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool'', being a literal animal by all indications attending a school. |
| 213 | * GentleGorilla: "[=GorillaBot=]" is harmless around the other students, and was allowed to stay at the school since he has yet to hurt anyone. Besides the Decepticons, of course. |
| 214 | * IntellectualAnimal: While "[=GorillaBot=]" only has a D grade average, the fact that he can even do his schoolwork means he is far more intelligent than most animals in this universe. |
| 215 | * OutOfFocus: Despite being technically considered a part of the main cast, "[=GorillaBot=]" didn't appear for ''almost the entirety of Season 2'', only showing up in the [[BackForTheFinale finale issue of the season]]. |
| 216 | * SuperStrength: Due to being a gorilla, "[=GorillaBot=]" is incredibly strong. |
| 217 | * TheUnintelligible: While "[=GorillaBot=]" is rather quiet, the noises he has made show that he can't speak. |

| 224 | |
| 225 | Another student of the academy, Aranea Serket has a very troubled past, and not so loving parents. She isn't very social, and her mind-reading capabilities definitely don't help her in the "social" category. |
| 226 | ---- |
| 227 | * CanonForeigner: Aranea isn't from official ''Transformers'' media. |
| 228 | * {{Expy}}: Aranea Serket is heavily based on ''{{WebComic/Homestuck}}'' character... Aranea Serket. |
| 229 | * IKnowYoureWatchingMe: Her mind reading abilities allow her to know if someone's looking at her. |
| 230 | * LonelyRichKid: Aranea grew up taken care of by maids and attendants in her family's mansion, leaving her with few chances to make friends. |

| 284 | !!!'''Talent:''' [[PaperThinDisguise Infiltration]] |
| 285 | ->'''Played by:''' TF Rocks |
| 286 | |
| 287 | A shy bot with a dark past. Mach Dart has the power of infiltration, and is useful in espionage. |
| 288 | ---- |
| 289 | * TheArtifact: Why Mach Dart's talent is so limited. Mach Dart is a Seeker, which in most ''Transformers'' universes is a body-type used exclusively by the Decepticons. Therefore, he already had a perfect disguise naturally, and switching faction symbols just sold the look. Problem is, in the ''Autobot Academy'' universe, Seeker body-types aren't limited to the Decepticons, and Mach Dart's specific one is used by an entire ''team'' of Autobots. This makes his design useless as a disguise, and makes his talent almost completely ineffective. |
| 290 | * CanonForeigner: Mach Dart didn't appear in any story, official or otherwise, before this one, though his concept predated the series. |
| 291 | * CombatPragmatist: Won't hesitate to attack an opponent while their back is turned. This gets him in trouble when he pulls this on his teacher after a time out was called during training. |
| 292 | * DeviousDaggers: Mach Dart fights with a pair of knives, and his powers are all about being stealthy. |
| 293 | * FightsLikeANormal: Given how limited his powers are, Mach Dart has learned how to fight with knives to compensate. |
| 294 | * FusionDance: Mach Dart is the combined form of two brothers that needed to be permanently merged for medical reasons. |
| 295 | * PaperThinDisguise: His Decepticon disguise consists solely of their insignia replacing his Autobot ones. That's it. |
| 296 | * TheSneakyGuy: Can use his abilities to perform sabotage, sneak-attack, or spy on enemies. |
| 297 | * WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: From what's been observed, Mach Dart's Infiltration talent consists only of changing his faction symbol. While theoretically useful in espionage, the one time he uses it reveals a pretty obvious problem: his opponents know he's not on their side and attack him immediately. |
| 298 | * WouldHitAGirl: Mach Dart has no problem fighting Nova Storm. |

| 336 | * AmbiguouslyTrained: Despite being a freshman student, "Mini" is proficient enough with [[PoweredArmor Magnus Armor]] that he can hold his own against a fully trained Magnus for a short time. |
| 337 | * CanonCharacterAllAlong: "Mini" doesn't exist in offical ''Transformers'' media. [[spoiler: Delta Magnus, on the other hand...]] |

| 341 | * KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Is only referred to as "Mini", due to no one knowing his real name and him refusing to provide one. |
| 342 | * TheSpook: Nothing about "Mini" is known. How old he is, whether or not he signed up for the current freshman year, where he came from, and where he goes for the summer all have multiple competing theories. |
| 343 | * TheSpeechless: Part of why "Mini" is so mysterious is that he doesn't talk. Whether he even can is unclear. |
| 344 | * {{Troll}}: "Mini" has been known to indulge in messing with his classmates. After Sunstreaker and Sideswipe make fools of themselves trying to get him to write down his real name, "Mini" gives them a note telling them to get a life with his real name signed at the bottom...

| 353 | ---- |
| 354 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Sometimes is called "Dropshot" by some, and humorously called "Shortshot" by Rook. |
| 355 | * AffluentAscetic: Longshot's family owns Lancer Corp and is rich enough to buy his enrollment at Autobot Academy. Longshot has access to those funds to provide a sizeable tip for his waiter, he doesn't seem to spend that much, and even took up a weekend job to earn extra cash. |
| 356 | * AmplifierArtifact: Longshot can increase the power level of PsychicPowers to the point where an ExpositionBeam feels like MindRape. [[BlessedWithSuck Unfortunately for him, this only affects powers being used on him, and he has no control over it]]. |
| 357 | * BashBrothers: Longshot and Saber will always try to fight together, and even team up for the partner bracket in the Tournament of Heroes. |
| 358 | * BerserkButton: Suggesting that he suffers from ExperienceEntitlement. Longshot tends to snark or mouth off about people he doesn't like, but when [=MixMatch=] suggests he's acting entitled because he doesn't like Star Convoy helping Hot Shot get into Autobot Academy, he ''snaps''. |
| 359 | * BrilliantButLazy: Longshot doesn't bother with tasks that he thinks are a waste of time. In the past, this included homework, which his teachers were not happy about. However, the Autobot Academy freshmen grade chart shows that Longshot has an A grade average, meaning he is quite intelligent if he actual applies himself. |
| 360 | * CanonForeigner: Longshot was first made for this series. |
| 361 | * ComboPlatterPowers: Longshot has both the ability to always hit his shots and involuntarily affect how much PsychicPowers work on him. The two don't have anything to do with each other. |
| 362 | * DeadpanSnarker: Is very snarky, and has gotten on the nerves of the teachers. |
| 363 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: He seems to be fine with having powers, but Longshot doesn't want to be a hero. He'd much rather live a normal life. |
| 364 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: Longshot's Perfect Aim talent means he can line up his shots perfectly, even while blindfolded, though they can still be dodged. And once it developed into Aim Enhancement, he then learned to pull off even better shots. |
| 365 | * PowerIncontinence: Longshot can't control his ability to change a talent's power level, for better or worse. Luckily, this doesn't apply to his aiming ability. |
| 366 | * PsychicBlockDefense: When Longshot's ability to alter a talent's power level works in his favor, he is completely immune to attempts at affecting his mind, like with [[CharmPerson Circuit]]. |
| 367 | * TheResenter: Unlike most others, Longshot hates Star Convoy due to incorrectly believing that he's little more than a SmugSuper, and this dislike extends to any other hero he also thinks is like this. That being said, he doesn't hate ''all'' heroes: upon meeting HumbleHero Ultra Magnus, he shows genuine respect when talking to him. |
| 368 | * ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy: The long-range guy to Saber's long-range guy. Longshot provides him cover fire while Saber goes in with his sword. |
| 369 | * ShoulderCannon: Longshot has a gun attached to his shoulder at all times. |
| 370 | * TheSoCalledCoward: Longshot's had to deal with people with people trying to force him to fight when he has no desire to do so. But when he actually ''wants'' to fight, Longshot's proven that he's quite an effective fighter. |
| 371 | * WalkingArmory: As Longshot's power is about aiming, he's made sure to get plenty of gear to utilize it. He has an assault rifle, a shoulder-cannon with a grapple gun attached to it, and a spare pistol. He later trades a spare assault rifle he has in for a sniper rifle. |

| 435 | ---- |
| 436 | * AgainstMyReligion: Circuit cites this as the reason he won't do Transform-Ups in Rook's class. For once, he isn't lying, but it's less that his religion forbids it as making it so he [[FictionalDisability literally can't perform them]]. |
| 437 | * BerserkButton: Don't suggest he's lying about being a Monoformer, and ''definitely'' don't suggest he'd treat he'd manipulate romantic partners. Doing either will lead to him becoming uncharacteristically angry and throwing insults at his accusers, and the latter will lead to him SuddenlyShouting. |
| 438 | * ButtMonkey: Circuit tends to get injured a lot, but most of the time it's for comedic effect. |
| 439 | * CharmPerson: His talent. He can convince people to do what he wants, provided they trust him. [[DirtyCoward Given his]] [[ConMan personality]], that means this basically never works. |
| 440 | * ConMan: Circuit isn't a particularly honest bot, and acts friendly to people to try and trick them out of their money. |
| 441 | * DirtyCoward: Whenever he's in a pickle, he's prone to try and convince his enemy to not fight, blackmail, or just plain runaway from fights. |
| 442 | * FictionalDisability: Circuit can't transform anymore due to removing his Transformation Cog as part of his Monoformer beliefs. |
| 443 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: While very few actively ''hate'' him like Longshot does, most of Circuit's classmates don't want to hang out with him outside of class. Misfire seems to get along with him, but that's mostly due to them being assigned as roommates. |
| 444 | * LovableRogue: While not trusted, most of the other students view Circuit as a nice person who happens to be rather shifty. [[LesserOfTwoEvils Plus, he's at least better than Steeljaw]]. |
| 445 | * TheMole: Circuit is part of a gang that had him infiltrate Autobot Academy, though what his goal is isn't clear. |
| 446 | * TheMourningAfter: Streetblaze may have died two years ago, but Circuit is still grieving, and even cries himself to sleep looking at a picture of his former husband. |
| 447 | * NonActionGuy: He prefers to stay out of fights. Considering [[CurbStompBattle how well his fight with Ramjet during training went]], this is probably for the best. |
| 448 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: The scream he lets out when falling from the ''Xantium'' is described as being girlish. |
| 449 | * SequelNonentity: He doesn't show up in The Festival of Stars. Odd, as his player did return and used all of her other previous minor characters. |
| 450 | * TokenReligiousTeammate: Circuit is the only one in his class to be shown as practicing a religion. |
| 451 | * VagueAge: The fact that Circuit was previously married to an Autobot Academy graduate means he's older than most of the other students, but how much older isn't really clear. |

| 908 | ---- |
| 909 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In canon, Ramjet's a Decepticon thug. Here, he's training to be an Autobot and acts as a vigilante hero. |
| 910 | * BatmanParody: "Jetman" is partly based on Batman, including his reliance on fear and gadgets. So much that his version from the Dark Future is inspired by the version from ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns. |
| 911 | * CelibateHero: Ramjet would rather focus on heroics instead of romance. Though this doesn't stop him from EatingTheEyeCandy Moonheart inadvertently gives him. |
| 912 | * DumbIsGood: While not dumb, his combat strategy of "Shoot everything, everywhere" definitely counts as this. |
| 913 | * FeelNoPain: Ramjet's talent, Extreme Toughness, means he can't feel any pain the injuries he receives. Unfortunately, this doesn't stop him from actually getting hurt most of the time, and based on the injuries he's been shown getting, blunt force trauma is the only form of injury he genuinely can't sustain. |
| 914 | * ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: Ramjet dresses as "Jetman" for Mortilus Night. However, he doesn't use the actual "Jetman" suit. Instead, he made a CheapCostume to wear. |

| 918 | * LetsGetDangerous: Ramjet normally doesn't take things seriously, doing whatever pops into his head rather than bothering with plans and spending most of his spare time joking around. But when innocent lives are threatened, Ramjet takes his job as a hero seriously, and he is quite capable of taking on Decepticons all on his own. |
| 919 | * MoreDakka: When he uses guns, Ramjet tends to unload a lot of ammunition without aiming very carefully. |
| 920 | * TheNicknamer: Ramjet often refers to people by the same nicknames his mentor Rook gives to them. |

| 922 | * ScarsAreForever: DoubleSubverted: Ramjet's lower jaw could easily be repaired with surgery, and he knows it. However, the operation is too expensive, so he sticks to covering it with helmets. |

| 931 | !!!'''Talent:''' [[InstantArmor Organic Shell Creation]], [[TheBeastmaster Remote Control]] |
| 932 | ->'''Played by:''' [=Artork312=] |
| 933 | |
| 934 | Offroad is a senior student at Autobot Academy, but he's got no desire to be a hero. He came to train his Pretender abilities to become the strongest out there and prove himself as a top fighter. Unfortunately, his pride also leads him to attack anyone who gets in his way of glory. |
| 935 | ---- |
| 936 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Offroad's canon incarnation is a Decepticon, whereas this one is training at Autobot Academy. That being said, see NominalHero below. |
| 937 | * AgentPeacock: Offroad looks feminine enough to pass off as a girl with just a few accessories, and acts rather flamboiently. He's also a ''ruthless'' fighter. |
| 938 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], as Offroad can act suave and caring, but only in front of girls. However, even this isn't entirely genuine, as when watching Tailgate start crying while talking to him, he considers ''pushing her off the roof they're on'' due to it annoying him, suggesting he only cares about cheering them up because of how their mood affects him. |
| 939 | * CampStraight: Offroad is regarded by many as being flamboiante, but he's only ever shown signs of interest in femmes. [[spoiler: Except when he's disguised as one himself.]] |
| 940 | * DisguisedInDrag: [[spoiler: To keep a low profile after attempting to kill Ramjet, Offroad resorts to dressing up as a femme named "Quickstitch".]] |
| 941 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Offroad's response to someone making him mad is "attempt to cause someone pain", regardless of what they did. Or if they were even the ones to make him mad to begin with. |
| 942 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: There is only one person in life that Offroad has any respect for: Quickstitch, his loving and deceased mother. |
| 943 | * {{Expy}}: Offroad's personality, powers, and parts of his design are all based on Diego Brando from Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun. |
| 944 | * GlorySeeker: Offroad's goal in life is to become a legend for his combat prowess. |
| 945 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Offroad doesn't consider it fair when opponents use talents to give them an edge in fights against him, dismising them as cheap tricks they'd lose without. However, Offroad loves to brag about how strong he is with his own talent, and when it was pointed out that he can pull off a feat similar to the one his opponent used, he attempts to justify why his opponent's use is unfair while his is fine. |
| 946 | * LackOfEmpathy: Offroad has no qualms about hurting or killing people, as long as it gets him what he wants. And he'll stand by all those kills. |
| 947 | * MisplacedRetribution: [[spoiler: Offroad attempted to kill Ramjet because he lost the Tournament of Heroes in a match that Ramjet didn't so much as watch.]] |
| 948 | * NominalHero: Offroad has admitted that the sole reason he chose to enrole in Autobot Academy was to get better at using his powers. He's also incredibly violent and spiteful, to the point where he [[spoiler: nearly killed Ramjet solely because he was mad about losing the Tournament of Heroes and wanted to relieve his stress. His reason for picking Ramjet as his victim was that he didn't like him.]] About the only thing keeping him from joining the Decepticons is that he thinks [[AnarchyIsChaos they'll do a crap job of ruling Cybertron if they win]]. |
| 949 | * {{Patricide}}: He killed his own father, Furistrados. |
| 950 | * {{Polyamory}}: Offroad doesn't mind his girlfriend Plug hooking up with other guys, and [[SexForServices even tries using the chance to go out with her as a way to get Stampy to forfit their fight]]. However, considering he later hits on Flare-Up, it's implied he also isn't exclusive with Plug. |
| 951 | * PowerPerversionPotential: Offroad and his girlfriend Plug have both implied that he knows how to use his talent to please the ladies. |
| 952 | * PragmaticPansexuality: [[spoiler: While disgused as a femme, Offroad hits on Roadblock and even offers to sleep with him if he wins a race against "her".]] |
| 953 | * PsychoKnifeNut: Offroad's prefered weapon is a knife. As for how crazy he is, well, one of his knives was modified to fit the [[EyeScream optic of his father that he ripped out after killing him.]] |
| 954 | * RaptorAttack: Offroad's pretender shells resemble a Velociraptor, which he's named Gindan. |
| 955 | * RealMenWearPink: Offroad is a talented fighter and bad boy... who, thanks to taking any job he could while in the slums, knows how to sew well enough to make Tailgate's dress absolutely stunning. |
| 956 | * RevengeByProxy: [[spoiler: Offroad threatens to seduce and kill Flare-Up if Slicer doesn't fight him one on one.]] |
| 957 | * SoreLoser: Offroad does ''not'' take losing fights well. If it happens, he'll see to it that he beats up ''someone'' in a fight. |
| 958 | * SwissArmySuperpower: Offroad has only one talent, but he's gotten so advanced with it that it gives him a wide variety of powers: |
| 959 | ** AbsurdlySharpClaws: His raptor claws are strong enough to pierce through [[spoiler: Ramjet's armor]]. |
| 960 | ** TheBeastmaster: Offroad can make his shells move independently of himself, and even rides one into battle. |
| 961 | ** FlechetteStorm: Offroad can shoot out his pretender shell claws to use as throwing knives. |
| 962 | ** InstantArmor: Offroad can grow his shell to serve as armor. |
| 963 | ** PartialTransformation: Offroad can generate specific parts of his shell at a time. |
| 964 | ** PeoplePuppets: By merging his shells with others, Offroad can control their movements. |
| 965 | * UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler: Thanks to the Roleplay being CutShort, Offroad was last seen having to hide from the authorities looking for him after he attempted to kill Ramjet, and with the ghost of his father haunting him to top it off.]]. The next time he shows up, there's no sign any of this is a problem. |

| 1352 | |
| 1353 | The leader of the Decepticon movement, Megatron has used a variety of talents and bodies to stay out of the law's reach, and intends to take down the Autobot government, starting with the Autobot Academy that teaches their next generation of heroes. |
| 1354 | ---- |
| 1355 | * BackupBodyDrive: Megatron acquired technology that allows him to switch between bodies at will, each with different weapons and alternate modes. It also helps him disguise himself by making it difficult to know for sure what he looks like. |
| 1356 | * BenevolentBoss: Surprisingly enough for the leader of a massive crime syndicate, Megatron generally treats his followers well. He's forgiving of delays if there was a good enough explanation for it, he'll happily provide troops with whatever extra supplies he can spare to keep them satisfied, and if his troops actually ''do'' fail him in some way, his punishment consists of reassigning them to a more suitable job... though the last one is mainly out of [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatism]]. |
| 1357 | * BigBad: As the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron is the one responsible for just about all the villainous actions going on. In the present day, anyway. |
| 1358 | * ClarkKenting: The only difference between his current body and his Bartender disguise is that the Bartender's bow tie doesn't have a Decepticon insignia on it. |

| 1360 | * InformedAttribute: According to his bio, it's been theorized that Megatron is the [[SuperEmpowering reason]] why so many Decepticons have talents, much like All For One. He's never actually been seen actually giving anyone powers. |

| 1362 | * PowerCopying: Megatron has the power to copy the talent of anyone he touches, and his storage capabilities seem to have no limit: he can seemingly switch to any power he's ever absorbed at will. |
| 1363 | * TheSpook: In the modern day, almost no one has seen Megatron, to the point where even his alternate mode can't be agreed on. [[BodySurf Though he hasn't been helping with that...]] |
