Decepticons – In-Movie

Starscream	Decepticon Second-In-Command, Aerial Commander Alt Mode – F-22 Raptor Fighter Jet Fast, cunning, power-hungry, and downright treacherous, this is what defines Starscream. Starscream views himself as the perfect Cybertronian and he feels he is the rightful leader for the Decepticons. He passionately enjoys Megatron’s absence in the war and all his motives involve finding the Allspark and leaving Megatron lost to the cosmos. He believes that lies, deceit, and manipulation are the ways to absolute power, not brute force or a massive army. Corruption is Starscream’s game and he’s very good at it. He pits his fellow Decepticons at each other, keeping them divided and at each other’s throats. This allows him to manipulate them into doing as he desires. Blackout is the only one who constantly undoes Starscream’s plans, but Starscream knows how important Blackout is to the current Decepticon ranks and allows him to live.
Barricade	Decepticon Hunter, Scout Alt Mode – Saleen S281 Ford Mustang Police Cruiser Barricade is a hunter at heart. He loves stalking prey, blending in with his surroundings and striking when they least expect it. His favorite part of hunting is the sheer terror in his victims as he springs to life as something they assumed was innocent now turned death-dealing. However, Barricade’s courage only lasts as long as he has the upper hand. He has been known to ditch his fellow Decepticons if he doesn’t believe their efforts will be fruitful or if his own being is put into too much risk. He is the ultimate opportunist in that he will play others against each other to advance his own agenda and what he views is the right path for the Decepticon Empire. While he hates Starscream, he realizes that Starscream is key in finding Megatron and the Allspark. As a result of this, Barricade is temporarily loyal to Starscream. That is until Megatron or the Allspark are recovered. Either way, Starscream’s purpose will be over.
Blackout	Decepticon Special Ops, Heavy Weapons Alt Mode - Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low Helicopter Blackout is Megatron’s right-hand mech. He is referred to as Megatron’s “hound”, and is incredibly loyal to Megatron. He has the largest arsenal and the best body armor of all the Decepticons. Blackout towers over every Decepticon except Megatron. He is also a communications and technical equipment expert, despite his warmongering. Even though officially Starscream outranks Blackout, Blackout makes it publicly known that Starscream is a pathetic leader. Blackout and Starscream have fought multiple times for temporary supremacy of the Decepticons in Megatron’s absence. So far Starscream’s speed and cunning mind keep him victorious over Blackout’s weapons and strength. Blackout has a sneaky and treacherous streak as well, using his symbiotic minion, Scorponok, to great advantages. He is also extremely protective of Scorponok, risking his own well-being to protect his follower.
Bonecrusher	Decepticon Brute Alt Mode – Buffalo Minesweeper Hate. That is the core of Bonecrusher. Everything he does, he does with relentless anger, fueled by pure hate of everything. He even hates Megatron and the other Decepticons, but he hates the Autobots more. He is only a Decepticon because it allows him to freely vent all his aggressive hate at the Autobots. He even hates himself. He despises every part of his hunchbacked form and uses this self-hate as the key to all his destructive tendencies. Bonecrusher has an on-going feud with Optimus Prime, though he’s never defeated Prime completely, he has bested Optimus in combat to a minor degree before, such as impaling Prime with his blade arm and tossing him through space. Bonecrusher also plans to destroy Starscream one day, if he can ever get a good opportunity to do so.
Brawl	Decepticon Warrior Alt Mode - M1A1 Abrams Modified Tank War is all Brawl cares about. Destruction of cities, planets, species, it doesn’t matter as long as there are people dying and structures blowing up. Brawl does not just love conflict and killing, he lives for it. It is his life-blood and consumes his every motive and action. Brawl’s perfect day involves slaughtering hundreds while standing in a massive crater as debris showers down around him like harsh rain. Every fiber of his being is driven for the single purpose of destructive death and he will continue to strive for the total annihilation of anything in his way. Including other Decepticons if need be.
Frenzy	Decepticon Espionage and Infiltration Agent Alt Mode – CD Player/Boom-Box Frenzy is a jittering, twitchy sneak. He was built with espionage and sabotage in mind, and he lusts for both. He has lightning-fast reflexes coupled with hyper-active twitches and jerks. He is the weakest and most fragile of all the Decepticons, but he makes up for it in skill and natural talent in executing his function. Frenzy is single-minded. Once he has set his sights on a goal he will not back down until it’s completed, within reason – he isn’t going to get scrapped for no good reason. When dealing with larger opponent (which is most of the time) he picks his moments to attack, letting his foes expose weak joints or cracks in their armor. To which Frenzy will jump at and begin tearing and pulling on sensitive wires, connectors, and circuitry.

 

Decepticons – Movie Expanded Universe

Dispensor	Decepticon Warrior Alt Mode – Mountain Dew Vending Machine The Allspark’s energies lashed out at a nearby vending machine when Sam Witwicky accidentally activated the Allspark Cube. The results were the reformation and creation of Dispensor. A vicious, smaller Decepticon, he is angry, full of angst, and has an itchy trigger finger. He is a four-armed terror on the loose around Mission City. His can-cannon can fire soda cans at nearly 300 mph with lethal blunt force impact. Dispensor is rumored to have a whisper-transformation mode, allowing him to be extremely silent when transforming from one mode to another.
Dreadwing	Decepticon Aerial Attack Alt Mode – MiG-29 Fulcrum Fighter Jet Dreadwing is sneaky, greedy, and corrupt to the core. Most of the other Decepticons dislike him for his sense of humor and love of performing practical jokes on his comrades. He is a skilled thief, but isn’t very intelligent overall. He’s good a practical jokes, stealing, and shooting at targets. He has the ability to teleport short distances much like another well-known Decepticon, but it is unknown how Dreadwing would have gotten this technology unless he stole it. He isn’t smart enough to install it either. This leads to several unanswered questions regarding his time before coming to Earth.
Dropkick	Decepticon Ground Assault Alt Mode – Chevy Silverado Pickup Truck Dropkick never wanted to come to Earth. He was forced to as part of the Decepticon ranks. He would rather be on Cybertron, sitting alone in the dark and being angry. He doesn’t understand the importance of the Allspark and complains about his position in the war. Dropkick doesn’t get why they have to fight the Autobots, but he enjoys watching things go boom. He has powerful hydraulics in his legs that allow him to jump great distances and kick with tremendous force. He has a minor rivalry with Ironhide, other “gun-arm” mech.
Incinerator	Decepticon Interrogation, Aerial Support Alt Mode – V-22 Osprey Transport Aircraft While most of the Decepticons are at least partly decent at hiding from the humans on Earth, Incinerator doesn’t even try. He openly attacks and moves around the globe unhindered. He is a Megatron loyalist and proud of it. Incinerator is a self-made interrogator. He captures helpless mechs and takes them on a wild ride 25,000 feet up in the air. Once he’s extracted the scraps of info he needs from his victims he sets them free. Free to fall to their imminent destruction.
Mixmaster	Decepticon Shock Trooper Alt Mode – GMC Cement Mixer Truck With thick armor, a heavy rocket launcher, and a slow pace, Mixmaster is a tough “tank”. He is extremely determined but single-minded. Once given orders or pointed in a certain direction he can only focus on the current task at hand. He’s able to shrug off attacks that would destroy or at least cripple other Cybertronians. He fought Ironhide in Tranquility, CA, USA not too long before the battle at Mission City, and was momentarily defeated. He recovered and is currently on the loose.
Overcast	Decepticon Engineer, Bombardier Alt Mode – MiG-29 Fulcrum Fighter Jet Overcast was constructed from a Decepticon Drone based on the “Dreadwing Structure”, and has come to Earth to plague the momentarily-victorious Autobots. He is extremely brilliant and skilled at creating new inventions and weapons. He constantly upgrades himself with prototype weaponry. His name comes from his ability to generate a self-made cloud bank around him, giving him perfect camouflage on a cloudy or stormy day. His main arsenal is a cache of nanite bombs that release hundreds of corrosion-inducing nano machines upon impact.
Payload	Decepticon Supply Overseer, Martial Combatant Alt Mode – Bulldog II Armored Truck The Decepticons need two commodities in the war against the Autobots: energy and currency. Both power the war machines of the Decepticon Empire, keeping the Decepticon warriors supplied with weaponry and fueled for battle. Payload is the mech behind keeping the Decepticons stocked full of both energy and currency. His job is to locate any and all forms of fuel and money for the Decepticons to use on various worlds across the vastness of space. He is well-armored, tough, and strong. He is also a skilled martial combatant and brawler. His midsection converts into a powerful, crushing grappler claw-arm.
Scrapper	Decepticon Warrior Alt Mode – Forklift Scrapper is a vicious, quick-footed melee fighter. He charges in fast and attacks in close. He uses his alternative mode’s forks as sharp blade-like arm weapons. He is relatively small compared to most Earth-bound Cybertronians and is one of the most physically weak mechs of the war (except ones such as Frenzy). He was disabled for a short while by Bumblebee after a quick skirmish. He is now back online and disappeared somewhere in Mission City, USA.
Stockade	Decepticon Brute Alt Mode – Sector Seven Cadillac Escalade Stockade was created during Megatron’s defeat when extra outpours of Allspark energy lashed out. Some of that energy hit a nearby Sector Seven SUV, reforming it into Stockade. If he wasn’t at war with the Autobots on Earth, he’d be breaking kneecaps and collecting credits for loan sharks across the universe. He thrives on hurting others and causing pain all the way around. He isn’t particularly loyal to Starscream but is content with listening to him since Starscream offers Stockade plenty of opportunity to hurt other sentient beings.
Swindle	Decepticon Warrior, Interrogation Alt Mode – Chevrolet Cobalt Dumb as a brick, excitable, and a lover of blowing things up, that’s what Swindle is. He was once a mindless Decepticon Drone, and still is fairly mindless despite having a spark. He is easily the stupidest Decepticon within the ranks. He was brought to Earth for one purpose: cause explosions, and thus create havoc for the Autobots. He leaps and hops around battlefields, firing randomly at his targets. As long as something blows up while he is shooting he doesn’t actually care too much if he is destroying Autobots. He is also an enthusiastic but pathetically inefficient interrogator.
Wreckage	Decepticon Fighter Alt Mode – M1126 Stryker Infantry Carrier While Brawl is the hot-blooded destroyer of the Decepticons, Wreckage is the stone-cold fighter. Calm, quiet, and methodical, he lives for the sound of metal on metal as his twin swords pierce through Autobot armor and circuitry. While he has excellent firepower via his abdominal cannon, Wreckage dislikes using it unless he absolutely has to do so. He would much rather get in close and look into the optics of his foes as he decimates them. Shortly after arriving on Earth, he was temporarily disabled by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) when the Decepticons attacked a United States military base in Afghanistan. The Decepticons removed his stasis-locked body and hid him away from prying humans. Wreckage had not regained consciousness in time for the battle at Mission City and was not present during Megatron’s defeat.
X-Bot	Decepticon Warrior Alt Mode – X-Box 360 Very little is known about X-Bot, as he escaped quickly while the Autobots and Decepticons were raging their battle in Mission City, USA. He was brought to life when Sam Witwicky accidentally activated the energies of the Allspark. X-Bot is built similar to Frenzy, being small, lanky, and quick. Very few have actually seen his robot form and most regard him as little more than a loose end needing to eventually be tied up.

 

Humans

Samuel James Witwicky

Sam Witwicky is the descendent of Archibald Witwicky, the discoverer who accidentally found Megatron frozen in the Arctic Circle. He is high-strung, witty, and talks way too much some times, but is a good kid really. Sam is now in possession of Archibald’s glasses which have the location of the Allspark inscribed on the lenses. The Decepticons want the Allspark and have dispatched Barricade and Frenzy to locate Sam and the glasses. Bumblebee is now in charge of protecting Sam and his friend Mikela.
