Nominated as the leader of the Decepticons, Straxus became a member of the Council of Primes.  While he acts in a respectable manner, he has a high temper, which is quite scary to those who work with him. When he is angered, do not try to appeal to his sense of pity; he has none. When Rodimus disappears, Straxus decides to take matters into his own hands, even going against his fellow council members.
