Crankcase	Quote – “Things are never as good as they seem…they are always worse.” Function – Decepticon Data Collector Alt Mode – Modified Military Jeep Hardtop Crankcase is a wheezing, whining, complaining ingrate. Everything is slag and the world is falling apart to him. He never appreciates favors or the effort other Decepticons put into missions. He thrives on complaining about everything and enjoys every irritating moment. Some Decepticons would rather have rust-rashes than deal with Crankcase. His body is built out of explosive-resistant armor, which means he just complains that much more every time he gets shot and doesn’t die. What a prick! He’s equipped with a near-infinite data storage matrix within his braincore, so he can whine about a near-infinite amount of junk. Crankcase is armed with twin retractable shoulder/front end-mounted high-impact laser blasters. Also uses infrared micro-drill probes that launch from his forearms. These probes drill into a target and analyze the internal circuitry and wiring systems of his foes, and then immediately send the data back to Crankcase. Has a built-in distortion modulator that can scramble the cerebral impulses of other Cybertronians he chooses to get near.
Ruckus	Quote – “I take a licking and I keep on kicking!” Function – Decepticon Combat Assault Alt Mode – Reinforced Dune Buggy Loud, noisy, and always looks like he’s just finished competing in a hardcore demolition derby, Ruckus is a rattling bucket of loose bolts. He takes any and every risk on the battlefield. He doesn’t believe in being a coward, screw that! He’ll jump into the middle of crossfire or a bombardment and ask “Is that all you got?!” He is hardcore-awesome in combat, able to take damage that would scrap most other Decepticons. However, he still ends up taking severe damage, meaning he’s always in the repair bay after a battle. Most of his comrades and enemies respect him for the huge diodes he’s packing. In vehicle mode, he can ram just about anything and nail-studded tires allow him to roll over almost any terrain or object. He can also spray a thick oil slick from his tailpipe. In both modes he uses twin heavy-rocket launchers that fire mercury-tipped rockets. Most think Ruckus is fairly stupid, sad truth is he’s actually incredibly intelligent…not that he’ll wax intellectual with you. More like wax the floor with your broken rear end!
Runabout	Quote – “Hah! This’ll be fun!” Function – Decepticon Shock Trooper Alt Mode – Lotus Turbo Esprit Sports Car One-half of the so-called “Battlechargers”, Runabout is a road-wrecking, engine-revving mad machine. He and his hooligan-brother Runamuck cause nothing but trouble for all beings of authority, peace, and tranquility. They are chaos made machine! Runabout is a being who likes to watch things blow up…oh yeah, blow up! “BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”, that is his motto. He gets easily distracted by shiny, pretty cars. Not because he actually wants to admire them, but because he longs to destroy them with utter prejudice. Loves to write graffiti on clean walls just because it adds chaos to otherwise order-bound areas. He actually fears boredom more than a full Autobot barrage. He has to keep moving because of this fear of being bored. His favorite pastime is using gas station fuel pumps and parked cars as practice targets. Likes to compete with Runamuck to see who can smash the most cars on a busy highway. As a car, Runabout has a maximum speed of 180 mph and a refuel range of just less than 700 miles. Carries a high-powered particle beam rifle in robot mode. His rifle can punch a hole through four-inch thick reinforced steel.
Runamuck	Quote – “Heh-heh! We got ‘em!” Function – Decepticon Shock Trooper Alt Mode – Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Sports Car Runamuck is the other part of the cackling calamity duo known as the “Battlechargers”. He is nearly inseparable from his long-time partner of shenanigans, Runabout. He loves smashing things, smashing things is fun! His fenders are super-reinforced for maximum protection against high-speed impacts. He loves to walk through junkyards; views junkyards as if they are art museums. He loves to look at the shattered glass, twisted metal, and bloody carnage of highway wrecks, and he will cause them just so he can admire them afterwards. Loves to watch innocent humans scream as they are ran off the road to their inevitable destruction. Runamuck believes in the simple acts of mayhem and destruction, and as such he views spreading Decepticon graffiti a monumental victory for the Decepticon Empire. In car mode, Runamuck has a refuel range of 600 miles and a maximum speed of 180 mph. Wields friction rifle in robot mode. Friction rifle releases beams of hyper-kinetic energy that increases the friction of all movement in his targets tenfold, thus causing intense heat, burning, and melting. This hyper-kinetic movement lasts for five earth minutes.
Shockwave	Quote – “That is illogical and therefore must be eliminated.” Function – Decepticon Military Operations Commander Alt Mode – Cybertronian Super-Gun Emotion is weakness, that’s how Shockwave sees it. He follows one master and that is logic. He is cold, brutal, and dishes out effective brutality to better himself and his goals. He is referred to a “the computer on legs” and this is somewhat true. Shockwave is immensely powerful as well as the most intelligent Decepticon ever created. He brings more to the table in on paragraph than 70% of the Decepticons do their whole lives. Shockwave consumes a lot of fuel, but is one of only a handful of Cybertronians that can use direct nuclear energy to fuel his power cells. In gun mode he can fire some of the most dangerous blasts in all of Cybertron, as well as emit beams of X-Ray, gamma ray, radio waves, and infrared. In robot mode, his gun-arm fires devastating concentrated beams of particle energy combined with X-Ray radiation. Shockwave feints loyalty to Megatron as he plots his own rise to power. Because logic dictates that he will eventually be the total leader of Cybertron, for there is no other more logical than Shockwave for this task.
Soundwave	Quote – “As you command, Megatron.” Function – Decepticon Chief Communications Officer Alt Mode – Cassette Tape Recorder/Player Soundwave is Megatron’s most loyal minion and the closest thing to a friend as Megatron can ever have. But deep down Soundwave is still an opportunist, something even Megatron has to keep in mind to a certain degree. Yet, Soundwave is without a doubt loyal to Megatron’s vision of the Decepticon Cause and has stood by his side for almost nine millions years now. Soundwave hears all and records all. He is an expert in blackmailing to gain favor and position. He possesses a cold, monotone voice that shows no emotion. Many Decepticons would love to shoot him in the back or abandon him on the battlefield if they thought they could actually get away with it. He is the radio link for all Decepticons while in the field. In robot mode he has all of his alternate modes’ abilities, such as receiving and transmitting signals on any known frequency, encrypting and decrypting all transmissions, jamming all Autobot transmissions, and producing high-pitched sonic waves to disorient foes. He can also monitor the brain impulses of humans as well as some Cybertronians. Uses concussion rifle and shoulder-mounted laser battery in robot mode. He carries within his chest a special dimensional pocket that allows him to store a large personal army of specialized warriors who are (mostly) loyal to himself and Megatron.
Windsweeper	Quote – “Uninvited guests soon become smoldering wrecks!” Function – Decepticon Air Defense Specialist Alt Mode – B-1B Lancer Bomber Jet Windsweeper is malicious and believes he rules the skies. The sky is his home and he hates to see anyone invade it. He has a notorious reputation for shooting other Decepticons out of the sky just because he viewed them as invaders to his domain. He is often observed fighting Ramjet in mid-air battles. It is most humorous to see the two idiots fight. However, the most well-known trait of Windsweeper is his infamous obsession with keeping things clean. He hates to see litter, clutter, and sloppiness. He spends a great deal of time trying to keep a neat and tidy personal barrack. He despises oil-slicks, grease pits, and junkyards. He is equipped with long-range, high-yield infrared scanners. In jet mode, his wings have built-in high-intensity heat generators that allow him to slice through most other substances as if his wings were razor-sharp blades. Armed with twin long-range, lock-target laser cannons in both modes.

Starscream	Quote – “I am destined to lead!” Function – Decepticon Air Commander Alt Mode – F-15 Fighting Eagle Fighter Jet (Earth), Tetrajet (Cybertron) Starscream is loyal to himself and his vision of the Decepticon Cause, nothing else. He is intelligent, incredibly fast, and the greatest aerial warrior the Decepticons have. He is also the most treacherous, disloyal, and conniving soldier in Megatron’s army. Starscream believes he is the most handsome, intelligent, and skilled Cybertronian ever forged. His arrogance knows no bounds. He believes that speed and guile should be the main tactics used against the Autobots, unlike Megatron’s brute force and large army. Starscream is a coward at heart who will run once he can no longer accomplish his goals. He has backstabbed Megatron more times than can be easily counted. He plots constantly to become and stay the undisputed Decepticon Leader. He fails every time in the long run, but he believes that his destiny is inevitable and he will become the great Decepticon Commander. He also possesses a mutant, indestructible spark, something that is legendary and many try to replicate this unnatural everlasting spark but none have succeeded thus far. Utilizes null rays that can stun and paralyze a target as well as damage circuitry. In jet mode, he carries a small cache of cluster bombs.
Acid Storm**	Quote – “Rain, baby, rain!” Function – Seeker Rainmaker Alt Mode – F-15 Fighting Eagle Fighter Jet (Earth), Tetrajet (Cybertron) Acid Storm is part of Shockwave’s personal Cybertronian army. He follows Shockwave’s orders well and is a fairly reliable soldier. He doesn’t show any indignation towards authority, unlike many Decepticons. He is one of three Seekers specially trained and equipped to manipulate the weather patterns of both Cybertron and Earth in specifically selected and localized areas. His arm-mounted cannons emit acidic particles as well as chemically-charged electrons. This manipulates rain clouds into producing highly-dangerous acid rain in large amounts. The Rainmakers’ acid rain is much more potent and deadly than naturally-forming acidic rain, able to corrode metals within a few minutes exposure.
Dirge	Quote – “Fear for your decaying life.” Function – Seeker Warrior Alt Mode – Modified F-15 Fighter Jet (Earth), Tetrajet (Cybertron) The “Master of Fear”, Dirge bends the primal instinct into a tool of devastation. He is highly-skilled at manipulating others with his fear tactics, which is only heightened by his creepy, mournful, and morose personality. He even makes good friends like Ramjet and Thrust feel uneasy and creeps them out often. Dirge’s jet engines are enhanced to emit a sonic frequency that actually affects the fear centers in the brains of those around him. Most don’t realize that Dirge’s lust to instill fear is really overcompensation for his need to control all situations around him. If he cannot control he grows fearful and can turn into a coward, fleeing whenever the circumstances turn unfavorable for him or if he looses his element of fear-controlling. Not being in control of his own life and the circumstances around him can grip him in a paralyzing fear, making him useless to those around him.
Ramjet	Quote – “I’m gonna ram ‘em!” Function – Seeker Warrior Alt Mode – Modified F-15 Fighter Jet (Earth), Tetrajet (Cybertron) Ramjet’s main tactic is to ram headfirst into anything that he dislikes or gets in his way. He views the skies as his personal domain and will even slam into fellow Decepticons that he feels have entered his territory. Much to the disappointment and annoyance of other Decepticons, Ramjet is built to survive a multitude of nosecone-smashing with very little side-effects to his person while most of his targets are not. Ramjet is only mildly-competent, but is very effective at being a warrior. He strikes hard and is willing to get his hands dirty when others aren’t. He wields cluster bombs in jet mode and twin arm-mounted laser rifles in robot mode. His nose/head module can withstand a crash impact at nearly 1500 mph.
Skywarp	Quote – “I think Megatron’s plan was brilliant!” Function – Seeker Warrior Alt Mode – F-15 Fighting Eagle Fighter Jet (Earth), Tetrajet (Cybertron) Skywarp needs constant supervision and guidance to accomplish anything meaningful. He isn’t that smart and has an extremely short attention span. He can not focus on anything for too long unless he has direct leadership telling him what to do. Skywarp is actually a fairly talented warrior and a decent shot, but again he lacks concentration and forethought. Skywarp has the unique and powerful ability to teleport instantly with a range of 2.5 miles. This ability gives him superb stealth and maneuvering capabilities. To which Skywarp mainly uses to pull practical jokes on friends and foes alike. He has been known to suddenly appear behind a comrade and shove them down a flight of stairs or drop sludge on their heads before they even know what happened. He finds these juvenile and harsh jokes to be utterly hilarious. Skywarp uses conventional, variable-caliber machine guns attached to his arms as his primary weapons.
Thrust	Quote – “I’m comin’ for you!” Function – Seeker Warrior Alt Mode – VTOL Modified F-15 Fighter Jet (Earth), Tetrajet (Cybertron) The loudest of the Seekers, Thrust is a noisy braggart who is more talk than action. He is a coward who will retreat whenever the odds start to look bad. However, if you were to listen to Thrust, it’s completely the exact opposite. He spews out loud boasts of false accomplishments and brags about his non-existent skills as a powerful Decepticon. Thrust claims victory before he even fires the first shot. His engines scream loud rumbling roars that announce his presence, and that’s how Thrust likes it. He wants everyone to know he’s coming. Loud mouth plus roaring engines mean the Decepticons have no hopes of sneaking around as long as he’s on a mission, which is why he’s rarely sent on anything other than guard duty or front line combat. Thrust has no desire for power and is happy being only a grunt, a known and well-liked fact to Megatron. Thrust can double his normal rate of speed for a maximum of two minutes after a 20 second build-up.
Thundercracker	Quote – “Here we go again, nothing good is going to happen.” Function – Seeker Warrior Alt Mode – F-15 Fighting Eagle Fighter Jet (Earth), Tetrajet (Cybertron) Thundercracker feels superior to anything that can not fly. He looks down on all those stuck on the ground below him as if they are lesser beings. He has been known to attack flightless life forms for no other reason than to watch them scatter and satisfy his feelings of superiority. However, there is a side to Thundercracker that he usually hides: he often feels pity on pathetically weak creatures, such as human beings, that can not truly fight back for themselves. He even at times feels remorse for bullying or destroying these severely-lower life forms. Thundercracker is also not convinced of the Decepticon Cause, and he has doubts as to why he is a Decepticon. Skywarp keeps him at ease, but the real reason ‘Cracker stays is because of the sheer terror he has for Megatron and the retribution the Decepticon Leader would have if Thundercracker left. Thundercracker’s engines can produce powerful, controlled sonic booms that can snap lumber, shatter glass, and even topple some structures. His sonic booms are devastating on other Cybertronians’ audio receptors. When he travels at cruising speeds, Thundercracker’s engines can generate a loud crackling sound that resembles rolling thunder Carries.

Astrotrain	Quote – “In confusion there is opportunity.” Function – Decepticon Military Transport Alt Modes – Space Shuttle and Steam Locomotive Astrotrain is a fighter at heart and loves to express it. However, he usually ends up just being used for Decepticon transportation and rarely gets to show off his “warrior’s pride” and his skills of combat. He also has a lust for power, craving it to almost no end. Despite this power-hungry demeanor, he isn’t all that talented at being a leader. His greatest talent and most-loved hobby is to create confusion. Astrotrain believes that if you can confuse an enemy they become a victim and not a foe. So he has honed his skills in generating confusion and distractions. He has become a master of his triple-changing ability, allowing him to almost instantly transform from one mode to another. He uses this high speed transformation to catch his opponents off-guard. He particularly loves using it against rookie Autobots who don’t expect it. His mass-shifting power is incredible, allowing Astrotrain to expand to tremendous size and scale capable of carrying up to 30 or 40 other Decepticons. Carries a large ionic displacer rifle while in robot form.
Blitzwing	Quote – “Destroy ‘em first, think about it later.” Function – Decepticon Commando Alt Modes – MiG-25 Fighter Jet and Type-74 Assault Tank Blitzwing is a loudmouthed warrior with a cruel sense of humor. He is versatile, skilled, and powerful. He has a tendency to outcast himself from other Decepticons with his obnoxious and cruel personality, which is fine with him since he prefers to limit his friends and personal relationships. Blitzwing often sees the bigger picture when his fellow Decepticons can’t foresee how they are being manipulated or used. This grants Blitzwing a large amount of power within the ranks, depending on how he, himself, manipulates those around him. His loyalty to the Decepticon Cause is great, however, he has been known to ditch the Decepticons if he feels the Cause isn’t being led into the right direction. He is also a skilled swordsman and wields an electron scimitar.
Octane	Quote – “Got your fuel right here.” Function – Decepticon Fueler and Trader Alt Modes – Peterbilt Tanker Truck and Boeing 707 Jet Disloyal, lying, intelligent, and a coward, Octane is vile even by Decepticon standards. He is the ultimate liar and will tell you anything to advance his personal agendas. He is a natural-born con artist, able to talk almost any life form into giving him what he wants through a variety of tactics, including bullying, trading, and falsely assisting. Octane is an amazingly-skilled fueler. He can locate fuel sources better than any other Cybertronian. This makes him valuable but also a pain in the aft. Whenever he can he makes his comrades beg for his precious fuel and he enjoys every second. He loves watching airplanes crash. Makes a lot of excuses, really good excuses, as to why he keeps missing firefights and mission briefings. So good is his excuse-making that even Megatron is impressed. Wields a liquid fuel-powered flamethrower in robot mode.

Pounce	Quote – “Terror is the stage on which I perform.” Function – Decepticon Infiltration Alt Modes – Puma Pounce is mean, aggressive, angry, vicious, and does all the dirty jobs that other Decepticons don’t want to do. He loves maiming victims and then slowly tearing out their sparks; doesn’t believe in mercy or mercy-killings. He has a terrible temper. Despite his mean spirit and cruel demeanor, he is quiet and rarely boasts about any accomplishments he has done. He is feared by many other Decepticons for his vicious nature and the fact he’ll do almost any job with great efficiency. He possesses incredible senses of smell and sight. Has night-vision in both modes. In puma mode, his claws are razor-sharp and his jaws are powerful enough to crush steel beams. He has a personal targeting system built within his optical sensors that gives him 99.4% accuracy with long range weapons while he’s in robot mode. He carries twin anti-personnel, micro-missile launchers with bayonets on the ends so he can have the satisfaction of gutting the lasercores out of his enemies.
Wingspan	Quote – “Knowledge is the most deadliest of weapons.” Function – Decepticon Data Processor Alt Modes – Hawk Even though most consider him the weaker of the two Decepticon Clones, Wingspan is just as vicious and skilled as his brother. Wingspan is lethally efficient and has one of the sharpest minds within the Decepticon ranks. He believes above all else that knowledge is the greatest power in the universe and it will lead the Decepticons to victory, not brute force. He can often be found reviewing a multitude of various data for later use. He feels his brother’s way of handling the Autobots is a bit too savage, but he respects Pounce’s capabilities. Enjoys ripping open Autobots’ chest and neck modules and manually stimulating their weakened vocal systems to force them to talk. He also likes to randomly spy on fellow Decepticons for fun. In hawk mode, Wingspan has some of the best vision in all of the Decepticons, rivaling Buzzsaw. He also possesses razor-sharp talons. While flying, he has chemical and infrared sensors that record geographical data. He carries twin electro-burst rifles and is deadly-accurate with them.

Battletrap	Quote – “We’re double the trouble!” Function – Decepticon Assault Team Alt Modes – Ford F-150 Camper Truck + AH-64 Apache Helicopter The “sane one” of the Duocons, Battletrap loves to juggle his victims between being blitzed by his helicopter mode and being run over by his truck mode. His separated spark halves communicate with each other well and blend together seamlessly, unlike Flywheels. Battletrap is tough and reliable on the battlefield, making him a fairly-respected Decepticon. However, he suffers from very limited intelligence. He is considered to be on the same intellectual level of the Dinobot Sludge, just without the speech defect. He needs his orders given in small-word detail with everything spelled out. Despite this he is effective at bringing down Autobots. In vehicle modes, his helicopter has a front-mounted laser blaster and his truck mode uses a dual missile launcher with leaf-imaging that allows him to target foes in the dark of night. When he merges into robot mode, Battletrap’s missile launcher becomes shoulder-mounted and he uses a standard laser pistol. He can be easily spooked by talks of the undead and the supernatural.
Flywheels	Quote – “Believe in yourself, but only if you both can agree.” Function – Decepticon Assault Team Alt Modes – F-4 Phantom II Fighter Jet + Self-Propelled Howitzer Cannon Flywheels’ separated spark evolved to form two completely different personalities. Had Shockwave bothered to not label the Duocons as failures he could have observed the evolution of the split spark. This individual evolution of spark halves has driven poor Flywheels insane. Each halve is jealous of and hates the other halve. This constant hate creates a lot of bickering between Flywheels’ two different modes. However, the true insanity begins when Flywheels merges into his robot form, as the two halves wage a mental and spiritual war with each other. This has created a split personality disorder in Flywheels. When he can keep it together he is an effective and talented soldier, but more often than not he is arguing with himself and threatening to destroy each halve of himself. While separated into his vehicle modes, his jet form carries two heat-seeking missiles as well as twin nose-mounted laser blasters, while his howitzer form uses a high-powered heat laser cannon. His combined robot form wields a laser rifle with an infrared scope.
