Dinobot 2	Predacon Special Operations Combatant Alt Mode - Techno-Velociraptor A Transmetal 2 “Clone” of Dinobot made after the original's expiration, Dinobot 2 is the result of many cloning experiments Megatron conducted with Dinobot’s form. Created using an altered Vok artifact, Dinobot 2 is one of the most dangerous combatants in the Beast Wars. No Spark to call his own, he contains half of Rampage’s, stolen by Megatron. Dinobot 2 delights in using it to torture Rampage and keep him in Megatron’s thrall. Still there is something of the true Dinobot within him…
Inferno	Predacon Infantry Commander Alt Mode - Giant Ant Once a Maximal Protoform, a damaged stasis pod combined with a chance encounter with an ant hill have left this Predacon a little confused as to what species he is. Fiercely devoted to the colony (the Predacon Base) and his Queen (Megatron) this mostly insane bot is a force to be reckoned with.
Quickstrike	Predacons Desert Combat Expert Alt Mode - Half Cobra/Half Scorpion Fuzor Quickstrike’s alt mode is the result of stasis pod scanner damage common with pods dropped during the Vok Termination Sequence. Perhaps it is this circumstance that left him so violent and aggressive. Not a victim of Taratulas’ Predacon shell programming, Quickstrike is just… a jerk.
Rampage	Predacon Warlord Alt Mode - Giant Crab, Crab Tank An experiment to duplicate the immortal spark of Starscream that resulted in an indestructible sadistic sociopath, known as Protoform X. He doles death out with abandon because he wishes it for himself. Dubbed Rampage by Megatron, his only loyalty is to the core of his spark, cut from his chest by Megatron and used to control him. He shares a painful bond with Dinobot 2 when the clone is bequeathed the spark core. He delights in Depthcharge's pursuit of him.
Scorponok	Predacon Desert Commander, Virologist, Surveillance Alt Mode - Giant Scorpion Mindless devotion is why Megaton initially chose Scorponok as his second in command. Unfortunately the emphasis is on Mindless. Scorponok while a capable virologist and surveillance engineer, is not useful to Megatron for much besides his unwavering loyalty. Perhaps this is why he was such an early casualty of the Beast Wars.
Tarantulas	Predacon Computer Programmer, Scientist, Stealth Warrior Alt Mode - Giant Tarantula Seemingly just the mad scientist along for the ride, Taratulas is double-crossing too many sides to count. This sadistic maniac is not only a Lieutenant in the Predacon Secret Police, assigned to monitor Megatron, he is also a secret spawn of Unicron, out to destroy all the Transformers aboard the deactivated Ark. His scientific prowess is rivaled only by the skill of Rhinox. His scheming is legendary especially when the Vok are concerned. He is terrified of them.
Terrorsaur	Predacon Aerial Combat Specialist Alt Mode - Pterodactyl Starscream’s poor cousin, Terrorsaur declares himself Predacon Commander every time Megatron stubs his toe. More vocal processor then warrior, he’ll never have a chance. Especially since he was burnt to a cinder after the Vok “Termination Sequence”.
Waspinator	Predacon Aerial Attack Alt Mode - Giant Green Wasp Waspinator, despite his syntax problems and a tendency to suffer fates once reserved only for Wily Coyote, is the ultimate survivor. Waspinator has been slagged so many times that everyone, including his Predacon comrades, has a piece of him or two. Some day his scattered remains are going to confuse the scrap out of some paleontologists. Still his brief possession by the spark of Starscream proved his form is capable of serious skidplate kicking in the right hands.

Archadis	Predacon Aerial Warfare, Quick Draw Specialist, Sharpshooter Alt Mode – Archaeopteryx An arrogant and highly skilled warrior who is more concerned about his own vanity than the war between the Maximals and Predacons. Archadis is actually a hired gun who now wears the Predacon symbol. He loves showing off his aerial skills as well as his colorful feathers. He believes he is very handsome and one of the most perfect beings in the universe. Despite his arrogance, Archadis can back up most of what he claims on the battlefield. He is actually skilled at marksmanship and long range combat. He is also an aerial daredevil whose agility and maneuvering capabilities are second to none while in the skies. Built within his beast mode’s wings are twin “Dread Gun” blasters that can fire heat-based bolts of energy. He carries a semi-automatic laser pistol that he has named “Founder” (or “The Founder Shot”, depending on how he says it at the time). He wears his signature red “wing mask” over his face. No one really knows what he looks like under the mask.
Bazooka	Predacon Fortress Guard, Defensive Warrior Alt Mode – Ankylosaur To Bazooka, his honor and his word are the two most important things in the world. He stands by everything he says and will uphold any promise he makes. He would rather face death than go back on his word. He has a lot of Maximal-like qualities despite being a Predacon. He is loyal, accountable, reliable, and a mech of his word. However, his love of conquest and war make him a Predacon, even if he could be a good Maximal warrior. He is armored to the core, making him invincible to conventional weaponry, most explosives, and all heat-based weapons. His mobility is slow and he lacks any good form of maneuvering in either mode. Bazooka uses an axe-gun in robot mode. The axe-gun is a laser blaster that has an axe blade on the top, so he can literally flip it over and use it as a hand axe. Bazooka’s ultimate weakness is that he expects others to think like him and uphold their word and be accountable for their actions. This is a very foolish line of thinking.
Buzzclaw	Predacon Saboteur, Quick Attack Specialist Alt Mode – Half Lizard/Half Mantis Fuzor Buzzclaw is confident to the extreme, arrogant to the max, and boastful about everything he does. He is savage and fierce on the battlefield. Despite his small stature he is a dangerous enemy. However the truth is: Buzzclaw is nothing more than a paranoid, insecure mess of a bot that hides behind a massive web of lies and bragging rants. He thinks everyone is watching him, judging his every move, and finding him lacking in all things. His bragging and arrogance is his protective shell against his view of how others see him. Most actually think he is a pretty good warrior and reliable in a pinch, but he can’t see it that way. He isolates himself a lot to keep the “judging from others” away. If Buzzclaw could ever get over his own self-esteem issues he would be one of the most dangerous Predacons around. Too bad he can’t wrangle in his paranoia and realize he’s actually a top-notch warrior and sabotage expert.
Buzz Saw	Predacon Aerial Surveillance Alt Mode – Giant Yellow Jacket Buzz Saw is mysterious to his foes and a seemingly well-trained warrior to most of his comrades. He darts in and out of battle with rapid speed and uses great precision with his attacks. He hits from far away and then disappears high into the sky. However, the truth reveals something completely different. He is in fact an utter coward and is frightened to death of close-quarters combat. He will do anything to avoid taking damage or getting too close to his enemies. He will hide behind other Predacons, fly to ridiculous heights above the battlefield, and lie about his tactics to make it seem as though he was a guerilla warfare expert. His vision is greatly enhanced, allowing him to see at tremendous distances and view all he sees in great detail. Buzz Saw is one of the few Predacons that can actually achieve orbit and free-flying space without the aid of a spacecraft. He does so through powerful twin rocket boosters in his back.
Crazybolt	Predacon Infiltration Expert, Master Thief Alt Mode – Frill-Necked Lizard At one time Crazybolt was the greatest thief and escape artist on Cybertron. His skills of slipping through traps, snares, and authority are legendary. After his last great escape from Cybertropolis, Crazybolt decided that there were more spoils within war and joined Predacons in hopes of using the mounting Maximal-Predacon tensions to his advantage in acquiring energon and specialized technology. He is a con artist and opportunist at heart and will try every trick in the book to get what he wants. Despite his opportunistic nature, his skills in advancing his own rank are very poor and he’s had little success in gaining advancements within the Predacon army. His fellow Predacons respect his amazing talents, but view him as untrustworthy and a babbling idiot. His tail converts into a powerful particle beam cannon that is strong enough to pierce the hull of a large spaceship. His tail cannon has a long recharge rate between shots.
Dead End	Predacon Demolitions Alt Mode – Ammonite Dead End is the ultimate model Predacon: loyal, respectful of his commanders, highly-skilled, ruthless to his enemies, and has a great love of war and conflict. He was at one time the best student at the Cybertronian War Academy. Dead End has no desires to usurp the higher-ranking Predacons and believes fighting to impress those around you is petty and foolish. He has superior knowledge of historical warfare and strategy. He is exceptionally skilled at using old combat techniques in modern warfare. Dead End takes great satisfaction in killing his enemies and is often seen grinning widely as he delivers the death blows to his foes. At times though, Dead End can be overly-analytical and too methodical for his own good. In robot mode, his right shoulder beast shell is used as a powerful crushing projectile that he can throw like a Frisbee or fire off like a high-powered spinning disc of blunt trauma death!
Drill Bit	Predacon Infantry Alt Mode – Boll Weevil If you were to ask the other Predacons about Drill Bit they’d tell you he is an intelligence-lacking, booting licking grunt that has no ambition. However, they’d be wrong. Drill Bit is incredibly intelligent, with a high degree of patience and ambition. He constantly plots and hides behind a shell of utmost loyalty to those who outrank him. Drill Bit’s lust for power and desire to conquer all other Predacons is as high as any openly-verbal and challenging Predacon (such as Terrorsaur). Bit’s strategy is to plan every single step in a slow methodical pace before acting on his contest for power. However, he does not improvise well when confronted with the unforeseen. His right arm has a powerful diamond-tipped drill attached to it which can be devastating to his foes.
Fractyl	Predacon Geochemist Alt Mode – Pterodactyl Fractyl is a liability in battle. He is a superior geochemist and energon scientist, but is a horrible warrior. His skills in combat are so lacking that his presence on the battlefield can unnerve his comrades, who worry about him tripping them up or accidentally breaking their big doomsday device. He tries hard to impress his fellow Predacons, with very little success. His greatest hope is to figure out a way to resolve the energon overloading from exposure to the planet’s unstable energon. Megatron tries to force Fractyl to be more of a warrior, but often fails as much as Fractyl when he attempts to do this. Fractyl is one of the greatest scientific minds on Earth, right up there with Rhinox and Tarantulas. He uses a small, weak laser pistol in robot mode.
Guiledart	Predacon Staff Officer, Reserve Field Commander Alt Mode – Triceratops Guiledart is honorable and loyal without question. He is highly-ambitious, but doesn’t believe in usurping for power. He feels the only way to actually advance in rank is to become better than those that outrank you. This is how he has claimed such a high rank within the Predacons, through sheer hard work. This is a very rare quality in Predacons. Guiledart’s combat abilities are tremendous. He is also incredibly strong and has great firepower with his beam cannon and electric bolt-firing horns. His so called “Thunder Horn Attack” can easily disable his foes with one shot as he unleashes 50,000 volts of electrical energy from his beast form’s horns. Guiledart is extremely loyal to Magmatron and will do anything he can to push Magmatron’s plans. He is very blunt and honest towards everyone, even Maximals. Most of his fellow Predacons view his honest and hardworking nature as a weakness, but Guiledart wouldn’t have it any other way.
Hardhead	Predacon Ground Trooper Alt Mode – Pachycephalosaurus Hardhead is dumb, strong and dumb. He also has no attention span outside of battle. During combat, he is skilled and dangerous, but during any other time of the day he’s one of the dumbest Cybertronians around. He wanders around with no focus or intelligent thought. Some wonder how he can speak clearly; much less understand words with more than one syllable. Despite all this, he is a highly-skilled swordsman and expert in close-quarters combat with a knack for improvising during hand-to-hand combat situations. His “Pilesaber” sword can be used as a powerful cutting, striking, or drilling weapon, depending on its setting. His head butts in beast mode are devastating, allowing him to crush armor as if it were a tin can. His beast form’s head can actually repel most conventional and laser-based weaponry. In robot mode, this makes a chest shot against Hardhead pointless and futile as the blasts will bounce off.
Iguanus	Predacon Combat Sabotage, Demolitions Alt Mode – Frill-Necked Lizard A sneaky expert in technological sabotage, Iguanus can rewire most devices to explode upon being used. He is also talented in basic demolitions and has a vast knowledge of explosives. Iguanus uses his skills to stop Maximal advances within Predacon Territories, such as rigging scanning towers to blow up or redirecting jamming stations to disable Maximal transmissions. Megatron puts a good deal of faith into Iguanus and is rarely ever disappointed. The frill plate on his beast mode is actually a heat shield that deflects most heat and laser-based weaponry. His lizard mode’s tail transforms into a powerful plasma beam cannon that can blast through most armor. It is rumored that Iguanus is actually a Decepticon from the tail-end of the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons.** Whether this is true or not is unknown to anyone but Iguanus himself thus far.
Insecticon	Predacon Surveillance Alt Mode – Stag Beetle Insecticon named himself after a sub-group of Decepticons from the Great War who he greatly admired from past legends. Insecticon is your typical, average Predacon: hungry for battle, likes to pick on the weak, but is cowardly at heart. He will retreat quickly whenever the odds turn against him. He all but refuses to battle more than one Maximal at a time. Internal radar systems within his arms send low-frequency beacons to alert others of Maximal activity. Sonar implants within his antennae allow him to track the movements of Maximals within Predacon Territory. He uses a high-powered, laser-guided crossbow in robot mode. In his beast mode, his mandibles have great strength and crushing power. Dies shortly after the Beast Wars ends on Earth.
Jetstorm	***BW Jetstorm is not BM Jetstorm in the slightest.*** Predacon Aerial Patrol Alt Mode – Giant Dragonfly Butt-ugly, but highly-skilled and deadly, Jetstorm is a great asset to the Predacons. He spews toxic regurgitation from his mouth in robot mode. This toxic vomit is corrosive, noxious, and has a range of nearly 500 feet. He is an excellent flyer capable of fantastic aerial stuns and maneuvers. In dragonfly mode, his flight is nearly-perfect in stealth. This grants him the ability to sneak above his targets with great ease. Despite his size and bulk, he is extremely weak physically. Can fire incendiary air-to-air missiles in both modes. Jetstorm prefers direct action instead of a lot of planning and waiting. He isn’t very tactical, even if he is a stealthy aerial combatant.
Killer Punch	Predacon Chief Intelligence Officer, Trapper Alt Mode – Styracosaurus Strong, intelligent, durable, great at all forms of combat, and talented at laying traps for his enemies, Killer Punch is one of the best well-rounded Predacons. However, he suffers from paranoia and can feel others are plotting against him when he has little reason to really think so. He is the best intelligence gathering within the Predacons. Built within his right arm/dino mode’s head is a series of advanced sonar, radar, infrared, and radio scanners. He uses the knowledge he gains from his foes to set up massive traps, snares, and ambushes. His ambushing skills are second to none. He wields a large and highly-durable scimitar in robot mode. Also, while in robot mode, Killer Punch can launch his dinosaur mode’s head at his foes as a powerful cannonball-like projectile that hits with massive crushing impact. His beast mode’s nose horn can fire superheated laser beams. Smart Maximals use his paranoia of others to turn him against his fellow Predacons.
Lazorbeak	***BW Lazorbeak is not G1 Laserbeak, despite minor similarities.*** Predacon Aerial Attack Alt Mode – Pterodactyl Lazorbeak is a talented aerial warrior, but suffers from extremely low stamina. He can only attack for brief periods of time before needing to fall back and let others take over. He is not well-suited for many solo missions. He lacks any form of good armor plating; one good shot can do massive damage to him. Enjoys watching his opponents struggle as they are melted down into hot slag, thus giving him his motto: “There is only one point I like in Maximals, their melting point!” He uses a very powerful heat-laser in robot mode, but it drains his energy levels dramatically. This also forces him to attack quickly and then transform and retreat. Lazorbeak died at the very end of the Beast Wars in a horrible energy explosion.

 

Non-Show Predacons Bios written by Jonhide the Administrator, with information from multiple sources, including TF Wiki.

 

Manterror	Predacon Quick Attack Specialist Alt Mode – Giant Praying Mantis Manterror is a silent stalker. He sneaks about the forests and grasslands, hiding until the moment is right to strike. His body is equipped with internal sound-dampening “stealth silencers” that suppress all of his body’s natural noise. He has razor-sharp claws and can fire ion discs while in both modes. His ion discs are rapid-spinning buzz saws charged with negatively-charged ions that short out circuitry after they cut through armor. He is physically weak despite his size and maniacal attitude. Manterror has a minor rivalry with Wolfang and greatly dislikes the wolf-bot. At one point Wolfang literally got the drop on Manterror, smashing the mantis-bot’s face in. No sir, he didn’t like it.
Powerpinch	Predacon Infantry Alt Mode – Earwig Bug Ferocious, evil, and mean-spirited, Powerpinch is a great Predacon grunt. He works well as fodder for missions and doesn’t complain much. He doesn’t talk a lot, nor show a lot of emotion other than when in the heat of combat. He doesn’t have desires of overthrowing those who outranks him. He is content with being a grunt and staying a grunt. He is one of the quickest Predacons over short distances with great agility. Powerpinch’s massive pincher arm can snap many Cybertronians in half, as it can rend most armor in two. He has no long range weaponry and can be bombarded from a distance with relative ease. Powerpinch is aware of this, yet seems to not care. He’s either stupid or too lazy to carry a gun.
Retrax	Predacon Demolitions Alt Mode – Pill Bug Retrax is strong and well-armored. His armor can withstand a huge amount of crushing or blunt force impact. In his pill bug mode, he can curl up into a ball and roll along the ground at high speeds, smashing over enemies. Once a foe has been defeated, Retrax likes to dissect them with his blade-like front pinchers and then hide their remains in one of his many underground tunnels. Retrax’s main weakness is that he is a coward who will retreat immediately if he is confronted with odds he has to struggle with. He will run away quickly if the tide of battle slightly turns against the Predacons or if a powerful opponent confronts him directly. He has no ranged weapons and solely relies on his strength, “bug ball” attacks, and his dirty brawling style of fighting.
Saberback	Predacon Camouflage Warrior, Illusionist Alt Mode – Stegosaurus A mysterious witch doctor who can create strong illusions to fool those around him, Saberback is a Predacon to never take lightly. He is a marvelous liar whose tongue is just as useful as any handheld weapon. His past is shadowy at best and non-existent at worst. No one really knows much about him before he joined the Predacons and became one of Magmatron’s closest warriors. He is an expert at hiding on the battlefield and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. He can remain quiet and still, hidden from sight for much of a battle, then suddenly spring forth, decimating a targeted foe. In robot mode, his dinosaur form’s tail becomes a deadly tri-paneled laser weapon. This weapon fires beams of intense light and heat energy, able to cut through the hulls of some starships. His favorite pastime is to make fun of Sling (a fellow Predacon) with horrible mocking and insults.
Scarem	Predacon Ground Commando Alt Mode – Techno-Organic Stag Beetle Scarem is cold, calculating, and an excellent hand-to-hand combatant. He is very aggressive and rarely backs down from a challenge on the battlefield. His beetle mode’s reinforced armor plating can withstand a tremendous amount of firepower. He can move a high speeds over most terrain with ease while in beast mode. When he’s let loose on the battlefield, his enemies know to take him out quickly before he gets too close. Otherwise, they’re in for a lot of pain and injuries. He hates Ramulus with a passion (damn ram-thingie) and will often attack the Maximal just to make an attempt to injure him. His blade-like arms can slice through reinforced armor plating provided he can get enough force behind them.
Scavenger	Predacon Infantry Commander, Psychological Warfare Alt Mode – Giant Killer Ant Scavenger loves to cause fear and control his enemies through manipulating their fears. He enjoys burrowing underground with his large twin drills and then bursting upwards from the dirt, surprising his enemies. He smiles with his large toothy grin at almost all times. This constant grinning can freak out his comrades as well as his foes. He is a great field commander during heavy combat, able to use multiple types of strategy to weaken the enemy’s lines. He is charismatic but sadistic, and he has been known to use his fellow Predacons as expendable pawns, caring little for their ultimate wellbeing. He is also an expert at blackmailing his comrades into doing what he wants. In robot mode his drill hands are capable of piercing through heavily-armored opponents with relative ease. In one altercation, the Maximal Bonecrusher knocked out all of Scavenger’s teeth with a single punch, much to the disappointment of Scavenger. Scavenger is well-aware of his likeness to Inferno, and no he doesn’t like being compared to Inferno. In fact, he really hates it.
Scourge	Predacon Special Operations Alt Mode – Techno-Organic Locust Considered to be one of the most despicable Predacons around, Scourge is an expert in biological warfare and is very good sneaking through enemy installations. He is also completely psychotic. These qualities make him an extremely dangerous foe. He is hated by Predacon and Maximal alike. His fellow Predacons hate Scourge due to him using them as the test subjects for his various bacterial and viral concoctions. In either mode, he can leap a distance of nearly two miles with assistance from his wings. While in beast mode, his antennae’s internal electrostatic disruptors can cause the flow of electricity in Cybertronians to become erratic, causing his targets to feel sluggish and partly numb. This makes them easier victims for his chemical weapons.
Sky Shadow	Predacon Counselor, Politician, Camouflage Expert, Reconnaissance, Quick Attack Specialist Alt Mode – Half Iguana/Half Dragonfly Fuzor Sky Shadow is one of the most popular and respected Predacons around, which says a lot considering the types of psychopaths within the Predacons ranks. He is also a counselor to high-ranking Predacons. However, deep down he hates everyone around him. He just hides this hatred behind his front of understanding and civility. His intelligence and ability to corrupt others to his needs and wants are legendary. He is a reconnaissance expert, as well as a master of ambush techniques. Sky Shadow is well-known for his ability to use his surroundings to his advantage and blend stealthily into them. He is patient, quick-witted, and dangerous in both modes. He can fire turbo-missiles from his tail in beast form or his mouth in robot mode. In robot mode, his right arm is a razor-sharp pincher claw and his left arm’s iguana-headed hand has powerful jaws that can crush steel.
Sling	Predacon Shock Trooper Alt Mode – Dimetrodon Sling is dense, extremely dense. Quite frankly, he’s dumb as a brick. He is only a Predacon because his comrades keep telling him he is evil and mean. He has no ambition, no drive, he’s just here to fight and fight and fight. He loves fighting even though he’s not very good at it. Most other Predacons dislike him, but keep him around because he is a great target for the Maximals to shoot at while the rest of the Predacons work on other things. He is fairly loyal to Magmatron, even if Sling doesn’t truly understand why. His one good quality is that he’s one of the most gung-ho Predacons around and will openly volunteer for suicide missions or run out on a battlefield to act as a distraction for his comrades. His beast mode’s sail becomes a very durable shield when he’s in robot form. Too bad he can’t use his shield very well, as it might save him from some time in the CR chambers. He gets shot almost as much as Waspinator.
Snapper	Predacon Infiltration Expert, Ground Commando Alt Mode – Snapping Turtle Snapper is a jet-propelled turtle-tank! No, he does NOT like to be compared to Gamera…ever. Never do it. Ever. Snapper loves hearing his victims scream as he snaps their limbs off with his super-powered hydraulic jaws. Yes, he’s sadistic, but he’s such a good Predacon soldier. He is well-respected within the Predacon ranks for being skilled, tough, and full of angst. Snapper specializes in barreling as fast as he can at Maximal installations, then slamming through their reinforced wall structures and infiltrating them. He doesn’t care that the Maximals know he’s within their outposts, cause he’s just gonna shoot, claw, bite, maim, and/or ninja kick them anyways. In snapping turtle mode, he can travel at nearly 600 mph with the jet boosters in his shell. He enjoys charging rapidly at his foes, then tucking into his shell, and hitting his targets with a full-force, blunt trauma made of turtle shell death! His gun even has reinforced armored plating and three, yes three, barrels. You don’t mess with Snapper, oh no, Snapper messes with you!
Spittor	Predacon Poison Specialist, Surprise Attack Specialist Alt Mode – Poison Arrow Frog Although he is the weakest Predacon physically, Spittor is dangerous and lethal…some times…when he’s not getting slagged left and right by stronger foes. He is arrogant and way too full of himself for his own good. He’s a pretty typical Predacon, except that he usually respects his commanding officers and shows great loyalty. His organic membrane is full of on-contact toxins that can drive his targets into dementia or shut down their motor functions. In beast mode, his tongue (which stretches to nearly 30 feet) can propel forward at a very high rate of speed, hitting his enemies with a near-crushing impact. However the real threat isn’t the impact of his rocket-like tongue, it’s the poison on it. His tongue-poison can disable most Maximals in seven seconds, causing the victims to have hallucinations, spasms, fever, and eventually place them in stasis-lock. Shortly after coming online on Earth, Polar Claw crushed Spittor for fun. Spittor recovered but cried about it for weeks. Poor Spittor gets no respect…well a little more than Waspinator.
Terragator	Predacon Swamp Warrior Alt Mode – Half Snapping Turtle/Half Alligator Fuzor Terragator is part of the elite Predacon amphibious team, or he would be if they had one. He is at home in swamps, bogs, and marshlands. He is very skilled at using a swampland to his advantage. He loves luring Maximals into muddy, quicksand-like bogs that cog up their circuitry. Once they are trapped and out of their element, he’ll strike with his vicious jaws and “awesome” weaponry. In robot mode, his shell becomes a near-impenetrable shield and his tail becomes a powerful double-barreled shotgun that he calls the “awesome cannon”, for reasons not revealed. Terragator was eventually stomped to near-death by Polar Claw. Polar Claw is a Primus-less killing machine who hates smaller, reptilian or amphibious Predacons apparently.
Transquito	Predacon Aerial Attack, Aerial Reconnaissance, Tracker Alt Mode – Giant Mosquito Transquito is big, tough, and strong. He is also an expert at tracking down Maximal outposts and devices throughout the territories. His reconnaissance skill is considered to be second to none within the Predacon army. He is a fantastic hunter, but once he is battling his prey he can be easily outsmarted by sharp-minded opponents. However, his weaponry is highly-dangerous and effective. Transquito can keep a whole platoon of Maximals busy while he waits for back up to come. He does this with his blazing speed, high-powered weapons, and great reflexes. His wings produce a high-pitched screeching noise that can drive some comrades and foes to the edge. He is demented, obnoxious, annoying, and a bit of a jerk to all those around him. Transquito is hated by just about everyone, Maximal or Predacon.
Vice Grip	Predacon Reconnaissance Alt Mode – Earwig Bug Vice Grip is unbelievably loyal, puts his all into every assignment he’s given, and is 100% dependable. Megatron puts a good deal of faith and trust into Vice Grip and is usually rewarded for doing so. He rarely fails, which is amazing considering he is a Predacon. He is highly-respected by almost all other Predacons for his sheer competence and never-say-die attitude. In insect mode, his pincher can crush steel and produces a high-voltage surge of electrical energy to further damage those caught in its grip. When he converts into robot mode his pincher becomes a powerful, handheld electrical discharge blaster, firing bolts of high-voltage electricity. Vice Grip is the best friend of Fractyl and the two Predacons get along extremely well. Vice Grip is killed at some point, but it’s never been clarified as to how or when as none of the Predacons ever talk about it.

 

Predacon Seacon Space Pirates Bios written by Jonhide the Administrator, with information from multiple sources, including TF Wiki.

 

***Please Note: The Seacon Space Pirates are NOT the same characters as the G1 Seacons, despite being almost identical in design (minus Scylla). They are completely separate characters.***

 

 

Seacon Space Pirates

Halfshell	Space Pirate Captain Alt Mode – Tortoise Beast The most feared pirate of the last few thousand years, Halfshell is one of the most brilliant and effective commanders of the open cosmos. He is shrewd, calculating, and always thinks two steps ahead. Halfshell’s goals revolve around collecting money, treasure, gemstones, and ancient artifacts…oh and money, lots of money. Many expect him to sell out his friends for a quick buck, but that’s not how Halfshell is. He views friendship as a sacred bond and will do anything for those he considers friends, be they Maximal or Predacon. He also believes that no matter what, one must never rat out one’s true friends. He will keep any close friend’s secrets safe. He is very generous to those he likes and brutal to those he hates. He respects intellect, tactical skill, and battle prowess. He hates laziness, incompetence, and general stupidity. Physically, he is a bruiser, a street fighter and boxer with amazing strength and stamina. While in robot mode he wields a large greatsword and the chest plate of God Neptune as a shoulder-mounted shield that can be launched as a spinning, bladed boomerang-like disc. In beast mode, the cannons on his back can level a mountainside with their powerful blasts. At one point Halfshell is captured and put to death for his galactic crimes. He is impale upon a large pike outside Cybertropolis as a reminder of the punishment for being a space pirate. However, Halfshell's body suddenly disappeared one night and new rumors have begun that talk of his return and growing retribution!
Coelagon	Space Pirate Advisor Alt Mode – Monstrous Coelacanth The oldest of the Seacon Space Pirates, Coelagon (pronounced ‘Sii-la-gon’) is rumored to have been around since the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons. This would make sense considering all the knowledge he has on ancient artifacts, planets, and star systems. However, a good bit of his “knowledge of treasures” turns out to be false, either through corrupted memory banks, him confusing various legends and stories with each other, or having the wrong information from the start. Halfshell tolerates this because when Coelagon is right it is usually a great reward. Halfshell also respects Coelagon’s good nature and hard work ethic. Coelagon spends much of his time telling tall tales and stories of his past exploits. He also acts as a bearer of wisdom to younger Predacons, which can be nagging and annoying to those younger Predacons. Almost as wide as he is tall, Coelagon is a strong, stocky mech who works hard around the Seacon Pirates’ starship.
Scylla	Space Pirate Schemer Alt Mode – Giant Squid Creature Scylla is considered the weak link of the Seacon Space Pirates, not because she’s a fembot, but because she will often just wander off from her teammates leaving them unable to form God Neptune or utilize all their teamwork capabilities. Also, she’s not very bright compared to the rest of her team. All the Seacon Pirates love her like a sister and will defend her if necessary. But, they rarely have to as Scylla is very dangerous and lethal. She is a great hand-to-hand combatant in robot mode, and while in her beast form she is the second strongest of the Seacon Space Pirates (only weaker than Halfshell). Bonecrusher has a crush on her while she has a crush on Claw Jaw…it’s a weird triangle where no one actually reciprocates the others’ feelings. Her ultimate attack is her “Kiss of Death”, a highly toxic kiss she gives while in beast form. The toxin in her lips causes almost immediate stasis-lock by overloading the energy-controlling circuitry in Cybertronians.
Sea Phantom	Space Pirate Sneak Attack Specialist Alt Mode – Bipedal Shark Monster Sea Phantom is the most violent and destructive of the Seacon Space Pirates. He is also the fastest swimmer of the group and specializes in striking like a torpedo from nowhere. He can teleport over very short distances. The actual range of his teleportation isn’t known, but so far he can port up to around 300 feet away. His bite is the most dangerous of the Seacon Pirates; able to rip reinforced hulls to shreds. His claws and fins are also razor-sharp and can slash through steel like it was air. Sea Phantom is always hungry, no matter how much he eats. He can not satisfy his appetite. His greatest weakness is that he can be lured into danger through his destructive nature and his constant, unwavering hunger.
Terrormander	Space Pirate Torpedo Bomber, Weapons Specialist Alt Mode – Bipedal Sting Ray Beast The resident youngster and lazy-bot, Terrormander is a great sharpshooter and works as the Seacon Pirates’ gunner on their starship. His aim is steady and he rarely misses a target. However, he is very lazy, preferring to sleep a lot or just daydream about possible treasures. He is at constant odds with Halfshell, who knows that Terrormander has amazing potential, but the young mech just chooses not to use it. Coelagon tries to pair up with the lad to help shape his work ethic and give him a lot of sage-like advice. Terrormander usually just ignores Coelagon’s advice and tunes him out through daydreaming. Yet, once Terrormander is ready to act, he’s a machine on a mission! His skills in combat are very high and he is relentless while battling. In beast form, his rear tail fin can discharge a surge of electric energy on contact and his wings can produce intense vibration waves that can shake apart solid rock and generate minor tidal waves.
God Neptune	Space Pirate Gestalt Super-Warrior Alt Mode – Separated Space Pirate Members God Neptune is the combined form of the Seacon Space Pirates. He is a mighty warrior whose strength, endurance, and fighting capabilities are near-legendary. In the oceans he is nearly unstoppable. His bladed fists can be fired off from his arms as projectiles capable of slicing through thick reinforced starships. Once his fists are launched from him, he can immediately call them back to his arms via a magnetic connection tight-beam. He wields a larger version of Halfshell’s greatsword as well. Halfshell controls God Neptune and utilizes his abilities to great success, however once in a while God Neptune can be affected by Coelagon’s nagging advice-giving, Terrormander’s laziness, Sea Phantom’s lust for destruction, or Scylla’s flightiness. This can make him unpredictable at times. His greatest weakness is Scylla, who will disconnect from the gestalt to wander off on her own, leaving the gestalt without a leg. This almost always forces the others to disassemble into their separate forms.

Vehicons

Diagnostic Drone	Megatron’s Assistant Alt Mode - N/A A sparkless drone created to aid Megatron, this servant has a complex (and modifiable) artificial intelligence.
Jetstorm	Vehicon Jet Drone General Alt Mode - Jet Arrogant, fast talking, Air-drone general, Jetstorm runs his mouth off like he has an audience to entertain. Perhaps this mannerism is a perversion of the purple prose spoken by Silverbolt, whose spark is trapped with in him. Eventually reformatted back into Silverbolt by Blackarachnia, who never gave him up.
Obsidian	Vehicon Drone General Alt Mode - Osprey Configured to defend Cybertron, Obsidian seems to have no reluctance to pursue this single minded goal under the Vehicon banner. A tactical genius he has achieved a legendary status as a General in latter-day Cybertronian history.
Strika	Vehicon Drone General Alt Mode - ATV Consort of Obsidian and a remarkable tactician in her own right, Strika joins in Megatron’s war against the organic. Little is known against her past, but she and Obsidian have been a team for a very long time.
Tankor	Vehicon Tank Drone General Alt Mode - Tank At first the least intelligent of Megatron’s Vehicon Generals, an interface with Rattrap released the spark of Rhinox, but changed by his time as a Vehicon. This tank General is his own Mech, now turned against Megatron and Primal alike. There is only one cause this master intellect fights for: himself.
Thrust	Vehicon Motorcycle Drone General Alt Mode - Motorcycle Cycle-Drone General and wannabe bad-bot Thrust was once suspected of holding the Spark of Silverbolt. The truth however is that he was once Waspinator. Now sole survivor of Megatron’s original crew, Waspinator spent millions of years flying back to Cybertron with out a ship. (Which is impressive if you think about it.) Arriving just in time to be de-sparked by his once and future master. Thrust has little in common with his former incarnation, besides bad luck and a tendency to get scrapped.

Vehicons – Non-Show

 

Blastcharge	Vehicon General Alt Mode – Six-Wheeled Assault Vehicle Dumb. That’s what Blastcharge is. He’s dumb as the Pit and has a love for blowing things up. This is not a good combination. Blastcharge is very loyal to Megatron and looks up to him…a lot. He has been known to repeat what Megatron says in a stupid attempt to look smarter by saying the same things Megatron does. This annoys all around him. Blastcharge is a great warrior on the battlefield. Just point him in the right direction and let him do what he does best: blow things up!
Mirage	Vehicon Warrior, Quick Attack Specialist Alt Mode – Modified Indy Racer A joker, a prankster, Mirage was constructed to bridge the gap between the Vehicon Generals and their massive army of drones. What this means has never been fully explained. It is assumed he has a spark, or at least part of a spark. However some suggest he actually only has a high degree of Artificial Intelligence. Either way Mirage is a practical joker who loves using his stealthy capabilities and speed to pull pranks on Maximals and Vehicons alike. He requires a lot of supervision, because if he is left alone he will do a lot of dumb things, such as blow up valuable equipment just to watch it go boom or pull pranks on Megatron himself. That is never a good idea. Can teleport up to 200 yards away as long as he can see where he is going.
Spy Streak	Vehicon General Alt Mode – Stealth Bomber Spy Streak has very little personality. He’s pretty much a paperweight with sentience and a lot of weaponry. He is considered to be the most tenacious of the Vehicons. He doesn’t believe in retreating or backing down from a challenge. Usually the only way he’ll retreat is when his fellow Vehicons drag his stasis-locked body off the battlefield as they run away. Spy Streak’s body is equipped with specialized armor that allows him to be undetected by radar. His clamp-arm is very powerful, allowing him to crush and/or pin foes.
