Megatron is a master planner, constantly a step ahead of any opponent and even ahead of what he wants now, preparing for anything he may want in the future. He has the physical might to overpower most foes but it's his mind that has one-upped three Primes and rival Decepticons. But his cold clinical nature is a front he has to struggle to keep up, as he's quick to anger and quicker to use excessive violence as his answer to any problem. Megatron's trying to change but he's spent such a long time revelling in violence, it may have been a lost cause from the start.
Looking for someone who can play both a maniacal dictator, and the wiser, sadder mature megaton we see later in the series.
I once told Optimus that I kill for the sake of killing. I wanted to make him hurt me, you see, because when he hurts others, he hurts himself. And the thing is, when those words were in my head I didn't think I meant them; but when they left my mouth, I realized that I did. If the world thinks you're a monster, what does it matter? The world is wrong. But when you start to think of yourself as a monster...
Look at me, Ravage. I'm old. Old and weak. Their poison makes me brittle, but even at full strength, I'm long past my prime. My spark flickers where once it flared. And this body... oh, this nonsense body. It doesn't graft to the spark like the others. There's no purchase. No bite.
Trypticon, if you can hear me, understand that this is NOT a rescue mission. Despite your great power, you failed to destroy the Autobots. You failed ME. Henceforth, your chassis will be altered and redesigned to MY specifications"
Pragmatist. Calculating and cold. Rule-bound. Prickly. Just some of the words used to describe Prowl, and that's by those he'd consider allies! To him, the war is nothing but a maddening confluence of factors he cannot control, despite his impressive strategic acumen and dedication to logic. That doesn't stop him from trying though, and Prowl secretly moves players and pawns across his own personal chess board in an attempt to expand his influence and produce the results he desires. Prowl always believes he's serving the greater good through these morally-gray manipulations, but he's sometimes uncaring of the harm he causes to his own comrades and the increasingly-fewer people he'd call friends.
We're not winning this war, and I'm tired of it. Tired of crunching stat after stat, formulating workable strategies for achievable victory. Prime listens--to a point--then gets restless and changes tack on a whim. The average Autobot default setting is daredevil maverick. That's not us, Perceptor. We can subdivide this war into its purest mathematical form and generate solutions all we want, but unless we happen to be surfing on a meteoroid at the time, no one will pay attention
Save it. The only reason you're not in the brig right now is because of what you claim is on the computer. You brought the humans into this, you work with them - get the data downloaded and analysed, then... get rid of them
I've just finished calculating over six thousand possible outcomes based on our current plan and overall battle readiness. There were seven instances in which we were successful...
Sentinel Prime is an imposing figure, standing head and shoulders over the average Autobot. Bristling with some of the most heavy-duty weapons and armor available to the Autobot army has instilled in Sentinel Prime a supreme confidence in his own abilities as both a leader and a fighter. Unfortunately such pride usually precedes a fall, and there will always be someone out there keen to prove a point, or who merely sees Sentinel Prime as an obstacle on the path to a bigger destiny.
Don't waste my time Prowl, you know protocol better than anyone, So follow it.
Always the bravest of us, but you could never make the hard decisions!
Senator Decimus is, for the most part, a rich jerk. It's not exactly his fault, as he's a product of his times. He certainly lacks the scheming and ambition of his fellow senator Ratbat, but like most members of the Senate from his time period, he's simply lost touch with anything but maintaining the comfortable lifestyle to which he's become accustomed. In another era, he'd simply be a harmless dignitary, but with the class struggle erupting from his continued automation of the asteroid energon mines, he's sitting on a powder-keg just waiting to blow.
As you know, the hub has been facing challenges, and as always, we seek to streamline in every way that we can.
Thats the way control works, but perhaps you're mistaking me for someone who cares hmm?
For Frenzy it's not about any "Decepticon cause": it's not about any quantifiable cause, or goal, or purpose at all. It's about violence, fear, destruction, and mayhem. Frenzy lives to fight. He lusts to destroy with an intensity that borders on insanity. War is his fuel, his oxygen. Despite his small stature he'll lead a charge into battle against robots many times his size, screaming for destruction with every microchip of his being. This single-minded obsession makes him a hard bot to associate with personally, but a frightening asset on the battlefield. His partner and brother, Rumble, is only too eager to back him up.
First we crack the shell! then we crack the nuts inside!
Take this autobot! lets see how you handle a crazed mob!
That should hold them boss! just over that ledge and we are home free!
Rumble is your basic street punk: small, but always acting tough as a cover. He's not exactly the most subtle of Soundwave's spies, but what he lacks in discretion, he makes up for by being the brawler of the group. He talks tough because he is tough. Quick-tempered and of a generally mean disposition, he follows Megatron eagerly, as the Decepticon leader lets him indulge in destruction. Rumble has a tendency to toss out a taunting rhyme at his enemies and is, according to Brawn, a "jerk" (or at other times, a "sawed-off nerd").
Well... now i kinda wished i killed more autobots...
Hey! Bozo!
finally online big guy?
A miner and co worker of megatron. He protests when the mine is shut down, a short role that should leave an impact on Megs.
there's still fuel in this mine, ya'll at the senate know that right?
he.. help... me

Get back! can't you people see this is for your own protection!
I don't like this senator.... they won't like it

Looking for a powerful voice to read location names and other details throughout all four issues and beyond
Iacon. Tarn. The Senate.

Long before the war, a group of ex-miners including Megatron, Frenzy, and Rumble took part in a violent uprising against leaders who had exploited them while pocketing the fruits of their labor. They found themselves on the lam in crime-ridden Kaon, which is where they apparently met Clench. Clench employed these same bitter ex-miners to work as gladiators in an underground bloodsport (in which he also occasionally partook), placing them at greater risk than they had ever known and conditioning them to give in to their murderous impulses, all while hoarding the fruits of their labor for himself. Clearly, he had thought this through.
Finish him!
Now you know what it takes to be a champion!
Form a line!
Ratbat is a scheming politician who will do anything to increase his power and position.
What is it, worm?
In times like these you bring me forms to fill out?! my role is the application of wisdom through judgement.
Blades will never be the Autobot poster child. He's a dirty, underhanded street brawler at heart and proud of it. The fact that his alternate mode and function as air support can keep him at a distance from combat infuriates him. Blades would rather use his rotors to gut a Decepticon from antenna to tailpipe than to fly. When he fights, he wants to feel his enemies' fuel spraying across his steel skin. Blades does his job and does it darn well, but if there's a way to get his hands dirty in the process, you can bet your processor he'll find it.
We will get this coward, I just need to know one thing. WHERE. HE. IS.
I gotcha buddy!
The snob of the Constructicons, Hook considers himself an artist. He looks upon the rest of the Decepticons almost as peasants, beneath him to a degree. Though full of himself, Hook is a master craftsman, having truly earned his insufferable ego. His high standards that he holds himself and others to means he takes extra care to ensure even the most simple of jobs is completed to the nth degree of perfection. Although Megatron acknowledges Hook's incredible skill, he gets impatient with the time it takes Hook to finish his work. Hook cannot understand the frustration at the delays this causes, he just sees it as doing the job right.
3.... 2.... 1....
Goodbye useless scrap!
Scrapper is the engineer of the Constructicons. While the other Constructicons put their masterpieces together, Scrapper is the one who designs everything for them. Though his designs are among the best in Transformer history, Scrapper is a modest Decepticon who quickly shrugs off the praise he receives. In that respect he is the polar-opposite of his frequent second in command, Hook, who is an egomaniacal glory-hound.
You're right!
Constructicons! Combine to form devastator!
You can't help but feel sorry for Scavenger. He wants so badly to be liked and needed, to feel like a useful and valuable member of his team. His self-esteem is so low he'd do just about anything to get the approval of the others, but his simpering, doting eagerness to please just reinforces the other Decepticons' opinion of him as a worthless loser. He's constantly excavating everywhere he goes in the attempt to find something of worth and prove his value, but it's invariably just some piece of garbage or scrap he excitedly finds, and that just sets him up for more derision and mockery.
We got something over here Scrapper!
Hey! Look a shiny!
Capitalist first, Decepticon second, Swindle is a con-man, an opportunist, a hustler—or as he would put it, an entrepreneur. Unlike his fellow Combaticons, he considers the Autobot-Decepticon war to be merely an opportunity for networking, cutting deals, and making profit. He's an expert on all manner of weaponry and their market prices, and he prides himself on being able to sell anything to pretty much anybody.
Word to the wise, the boss took a hit in the last match, he aint in such a good mood
This is some pretty sick stuff, why do you want it you little auto freak?
I know my rights autobot!
An early flight-capable recruit to Megatron's Decepticon movement, Skywarp has spent millions of years in loyal service to the Decepticon cause, frequently putting his teleportation ability to use. When modern sociopolitical developments ended the war and altered the Autobot/Decepticon landscape, Skywarp remained a staunch Decepticon, unlike his fellow Seekers. But soon he, too, felt disillusioned, more so with his new leader than the cause, leading him to do the unthinkable: (reluctantly) join up with humans, who promised to take care of his malfunctioning powers.
Starscream, we're in the clear!
Thundercracker you traitor!
All hail Megatron!
As Sludge can't make much of an impression in the mental department, he likes to make his presence known physically. He'll stomp his hefty hide around just so you know he's there. None of the Dinobots really like Optimus Prime, but he and Slag share an especially intense dislike for him. Sludge believes that the strongest should lead, and in his mind, Grimlock is the strongest Autobot. But Sludge genuinely believes in the Autobot cause, so he tolerates Prime. Beyond that, Sludge is actually what you might call nice... Maybe not to Swoop's level, but nicer than the other guys.
Gotta win tonight, tank running on empty...
You think shockwave is hiding down there?
Its stomping time!
When Motormaster (aka Motorbreath) booms out orders in his hollow, bottomless-deep voice of doom, his Stunticon soldiers listen in very real fear. (Hey, if your boss could barrel at top speed through a concrete block 20 feet thick and turn it to rubble like it was no big deal, you'd be terrified of disobeying too.) A cold and brutal tyrant, without an ounce of mercy or care for any lesser being, he considers himself the true "King of the Road." He longs to one day prove his claim by destroying Optimus Prime, though he knows that Megatron might kill Prime first.
We're running out of road!
Stunticons! Combine to form Menasor!
Come Prime! Face me!
Sideswipe is hot-headed, eager for battle, and even more eager to get out from the shadow of his brother Sunstreaker. He's forever got a chip on his shoulder, and isn't shy about taking it out on any Decepticons within head-bashing range. His insubordinate attitude and battle-lust can lead to tensions with the more peaceful-minded Autobots, but there's no discounting his courage: Sideswipe will happily wade into battle against any foe, no matter how powerful or numerous, and won't let up no matter how hopeless the odds. This combative temperament of his is probably why he gets along fairly well with the fearsome Arcee.
Damn im good
What have you done to my brother!
Seems we got a mexican stand off here boys
If there's a blazing fire, Inferno is going to be one of the first bots on the scene, rushing in headlong without regard for his own safety to rescue anyone trapped inside. If there's a blazing firefight Inferno will also be one of the first bots on the scene, and probably even faster than the previous scenario.
Get down!
Comms are down, ive lost contact with the capital!
Everybody likes Hubcap. He's friendly, always has a clever joke or compliment ready, and is generally a nice, fun, affable bot to be around. On the other hand, nobody actually trusts Hubcap. It's not his devotion to the Autobot cause that's the concern (mostly), but his ulterior motives for his friendship and jokes and the like. He is at his core a con artist, and everyone's a bit on their guard around him. Some think he's this way to cover for deficiencies or to stay in a position well above his actual aptitude level... or maybe he just likes tricking people. He doesn't seem to have made many enemies with his tricks and scams, though; quite the opposite. So perhaps it is all mostly harmless.
I got the message through sir, reenforcements imbound!
Is he... is he dead...
What Fireflight does for air travel, Wildrider (aka Wild Rider[1] and Brake-Neck) does for the roadways. The difference is that the Aerialbot honestly means no harm and this insanely wild-riding Stunticon most definitely does. Some of his Decepticon comrades suspect him of playing insane to enhance his street cred, but those who have come to know him the best realize that it's no act. Wildrider really is as crazy as they come and a very real danger to anything on the road with him. Even his fellow Stunticons are wary of driving anywhere near him.
I'm Wildrider, and I wanna bust something up!
Outta the way!
man shut up!
Know that when the Predacons are on the hunt, their leader Razorclaw is all business. Every drop of fuel in his system and every thought in his processor are dedicated to the task at hand, and he often lies in wait, completely motionless, for long stretches of time. Fools confuse this for laziness. Many of them have become his prey.
Hrr, wait til the guards come. Then we'll dismantle them.
Megatron calls and many come...
In the air, with targets arrayed below him like manna strewn from heaven, you won't find a robot happier than Divebomb. He's a cheery sort in general, almost always in a good mood, but nothing makes him as downright giddy as a child on Christmas morning as having so many targets to pick and choose from that he doesn't know where to start destroying. Just about the only thing that ever puts him in a bad mood is having to give up his independence and combine with his teammates, whom he tolerates at best, to form Predaking. In his free time, Divebomb likes to use available scrap to build himself "mechanest" fortresses at the top of the highest available point. These plush private apartments are something of a point of pride for him. "I like to live comfortably," he explains with a smile.
I could've shown that pilot some really fancy flyin'!
Why don't you let us take over? truth be told ive been itching for another chance to hit this guy!
