Breakaway

Faction: Autobot

Function: Caretaker

Specialty: Metaphysics; healing; artificial intelligence

Weapons: Double Energon plasma weapons; air to air missiles

**Unique Quality**: Can use raw Energon to heal even catastrophic wounds instantly.

Overview of Character:

Breakaway's memories are like the eastern horizon at dawn. When he looks back into his past, he sees only light and warmth and the haloed silhouettes of things that were. He remembers Cybertron only as a word that he ascribes with the warmth and peace he knows lie behind him. What he honestly knows in detail about his life can be encompassed by the pool of sacred Energon by which he slumbered for centuries.

When he arrived on Earth it was still a barren world. Clouds of ammonia boiled out of volcanoes 20 miles high, and the surface - an endless ocean of magma - rolled and bucked with the chaotic energies of planetary formation.

He had been sent across the galaxy, across dimensions, with the rarest and most precious form of energy, the source and structure of Transformers life. He alone was to guard it against all eventualities, never to return home until Primus once again called him.

The call has now come, but his charge is not yet ended. Where Breakaway goes, so does his store of rarified Energon. He knows this is so, and he knows that this Energon is too important to leave unprotected. What he cannot remember is exactly why it was he that was chosen to be its guardian for so long.

Blurr

Faction: Autobot

Function: Data Courier

Alt. Mode: Bugatti Veyron

Overview of Character:

Blurr is the fastest Autobot on land. He's a close descendent to a thoroughbred Cybertronic race horse, and a superior messenger. He can quickly whisk information from one place to another. In robot mode, he carries an electro-laser that reverses the polarity of an enemy robot's microcircuits and leaves them motionless.

Range: 10 miles. In vehicular mode, he can travel faster than the speed of sound, leaving a blurred image in his trail.

Blaster

Faction: Autobot

Function: Communications

Alt. Mode: Tape Deck

Weapon: Electro-scrambler Gun

Overview of Character:

Finds all Earth music interesting, but it's rock'n'roll -- good, hard and loud -- that really sparks his circuits. In the forefront of any situation he's involved in.

Alt. Mode: Search and Rescue Helicopter

Function: Air Support

Sub-group: Protectobots

Weapons: Photon Pistol, and twin launchers

Overview of Character:

Basically a street fighter -- prefers using rotor blades for slashing Decepticons rather than for flying. Considers long-range air attacks unsporting, cowardly. Maximum speed: 400mph; range 1200 miles. Twin launchers fire "smart" rockets that seek targets based on encoded computer images. Uses photon pistol. Combines with fellow Protectobots to form "Defensor".

[Sunstar]

Beachcomber

Function: Geologist

Alt. Mode: Beach/Dune Buggy

Overview of Character:

No interest in warfare; prefers long, lone trips into deserts and along coasts... only places he feels he can escape to and relax (reminds most of a Hippy from the 1970's).

Cool-headed, low-key, personable -- what Earthlings call "laid-back".

Fights when called upon despite anti-war feelings. Range of 800 miles... can go over very rugged terrain. Sensors can determine chemical composition of land and find needed resources.

Susceptible to mental stress.

Air Raid

Sub-group: Aerialbots, Cyberjets

Function: Warrior / Scout

Rank: 5

Partner: Blades, Silverbolt, Skydive, Fireflight, Slingshot

Motto: "If you look first, you may not leap."

Alternate Modes: Antonov An-225

History:

The Aerialbots were created on Cybertron around the same time as the Stunticons as a countermeasure to the new Decepticon car team. They are the Autobots' first combiner team, and when merged to form Superion, also considered their strongest combiner. Unlike the Decepticons' combiner team the Constructicons, their configuration consists of five transformers instead of six.

They were created to combat the Stunticons. During the fight, the Autobots were badly overpowered by the Stunticons when the newly-formed Aerialbots arrived and battled them. The Stunticons were no match for the Aerialbots and their aeroplane alternate-modes, but once they merged and formed the Decepticon Menasor, things got out of hand.

However, the Aerialbots had their own combination, soon they too formed their own combiner, Superion, to combat Menasor. The two battled, but Menasor began to take the upper hand. Menasor was about to land a fatal blow to the Autobot when Omega Supreme arrived, and helped Superion to defeat him, forcing the Stunticons and the Decepticons to retreat.

The Aerialbots and Stunticons squared-off again, later where Superion defeated Menasor in a Combiner vs. Combiner rivalry.

Fireflight and the other Aerialbots were created on Earth by Wheeljack and given life by Optimus Prime using the Matrix.

An actual A-10 has a wingspan of 1753 centimeters, and he stands 1620 centimeters (53 feet 2 inches) tall.

[Sunstar]

Groundshaker

Function: Field Commander

Rank: 8

Motto: "A life without risk is a life without reward."

Alternate Modes: F-19 Stealth fighter

History

He is a bit of a hot head who charges into battle first and asks questions later.

[Sunstar]

Mirage

Function: Spy

Rank: 7

Partner: Ironhide

Motto: "Who and what I am, I hide from my enemy."
"Can you keep up with my speed?"
"You can't hit a speeding target!"

Alt. Modes: Cybertronian car,
1979 Ligier JS11-Ford Formula One racer,
Various other F-1 racer styles,
2004 Ford GT
Ferrari F2004 F-1 racer

Weapons: He is armed with a sniper rifle which fires explosive, armor-piercing darts, but the most important piece of his arsenal in his function as a spy is his shoulder-mounted electro-disruptor.

Information: Mirage is the fastest of the Spy Changers, which makes him the best choice for spying on the enemy – he’ll be in and out before anyone is the wiser. He is an excellent marksman, and, like the other Spy Changers, possesses optical camouflage powers that can make him appear invisible and is able to drive over any surface, including water, and even upside-down, hence his name.

History

Some might say that Mirage was created with a silver sparkplug in his mouth. On Cybertron, he was one of the planet’s elite upper class, preferring to spend his days hunting turbo-foxes instead of involving himself in conflict.

When that became unavoidable, Mirage enlisted with the Autobot forces, although he is often unsure about his motivations for doing so, which leaves his fellow Autobots finding it hard to trust him – a problem not helped by the fact that Mirage can rarely hide that he is often unwilling to fight directly, or his contempt for the “commoners” he is now forced to interact with. He has no lost love for Earth, and would happily return to his old life on Cybertron if he could.

It is ironic that, given his unwillingness to fight, Mirage is a superior hand-to-hand combatant, and a skilled sharpshooter, having honed his talents hunting game on Cybertron.

In the early days of the war, his skills in stealth and speed lead him to prefer running and hiding to fighting, but upon witnessing the atrocities of war, he viewed his cowardice as the worst crime of all, and stepped up to a command position in hopes of doing something about it. Although smart, observant and direct, Mirage still carries with him the guilt from the earlier part of his life, when he ignored his principles in favor of his own self-preservation.

Mudflap

Function: Infiltrator, Warrior

Rank: 2

Partner: Sideswipe, Skids, Chromia, Seymour Simmons

Motto: "Either get in gear or get out of my way."

Alt. Modes: Chevrolet Trax, half of an ice cream van

Mudflap is 11 foot 4 inches tall and weighs 1.2 metric tons.

History

He, like his twin brother Skids, typically speaks in jive, similar to Jazz. Originally forming an old ice cream truck with Skids, Mudflap gains his own vehicle mode following the Shanghai operation.

He has an oversized left arm, while his brother Skids has a oversized right arm and had a license plate that reads "MDFLP".

Their Bio’s also state that Skids and Mudflap used to serve as messengers before becoming warriors.

Mudflap, who originally transformed into half of an ice cream truck, failed to capture Sideways in Shanghai, China. When he returned to the N.E.S.T. base on Diego Garcia he scanned a new vehicle form, that of a concept car. Initially he wanted the "green one" but his brother beat him to it so he took the red-orange one.

They then approached and accompanied Bumblebee who rescued Sam Witwicky from Megatron and Starscream. The twins then accompanied Wheelie, Sam and friends and in their search for the ancient Seeker Jetfire and was teleported with them to Egypt.

Finding themselves at a dead end, Mudflap's brawl with Skids unintentionally caused them to find the Tomb of the Primes before Bumblebee tossed them out. The twins then accompanied Simmons and Leo into devising a plan to destroy the Sun Harvester.

They encountered Devastator, in which Mudflap was sucked in by Devastator's vortex grinder while attempting in vain to hang on for dear life. Though swallowed, Mudflap broke out of Devastator as he and Skids battled against the giant before the two were knocked off.

The two were briefly seen taking cover under Devastator and were not seen afterwards. It was then discovered that they had been taken aboard the Aircraft Carrier USS Stennis to await the rest of the Autobots and Lennox’s group.

Skids

Function: Messenger, Warrior

Rank: 2

Partner: Mudflap, Arcee, Mikaela Banes

Motto: "The right word is better than the wrong move."

Alt. Modes: Chevrolet Beat, half an ice cream van

Skids is 11 foot 4 inches tall and weighs 1.2 metric tons.

He was discovered by the public when one of the Autobots, a Chevrolet Beat, had a license plate that reads "SKIDZ". Skids is the brother to the Autobot Mudflap. Mudflap is very hyperactive, while Skids believes himself to be the smarter of the two and tries to come across as mature, but nevertheless appears unable to keep quiet.

He has an oversized right arm, as opposed to his twin brother, Mudflap, whose left is oversized. Skids has two buck teeth; one golden, the other normal.

Sunstreaker

Function: Warrior

Rank: 5

Partner: Sideswipe

Motto: They can't beat the best."

Alt. Modes: Cybertronian Car,
Lamborghini Countach - Yellow,
Lamborghini Diablo - Yellow,
Dodge Viper - Yellow,
Lamborghini Gallardo - Yellow,
2010 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept - Yellow
(pretty much the same type of Vehicle as his Twin Sideswipe, just in Yellow.)

History

He is the twin brother of Sideswipe, another Autobot, and had turned into a 1980 Lamborghini Countach when found, but upon reaching Diego Garcia he scanned his Twin liking the new model. His alternate mode however, is yellow and has a modification in the form of an engine that sticks out the back.

He is described as the ultimate egotist, being notoriously difficult to work with and pair up with anyone else besides Sideswipe, and describes himself as the most beautiful thing ever. He is also a cold, ruthless and effective fighter who would do anything to win.

Before the civil war between the Autobots and the Decepticons, Sunstreaker was an artist. After the war broke out he joined the Autobots, but some who knew his violent disposition joked that he didn't join the Decepticons simply because their purple logo clashed with his paint job.

When Prime and his group left Cybertron to hunt for the AllSpark, Sunstreaker stayed with the remaining Autobots under the leadership of Prowl and battled the Fallen when he attacked the Autobot base.

When Starscream returned to Earth with the Combaticons, Sunstreaker was taken offline once again along with most of Jazz's old unit. Jazz, and Sunstreaker were repaired later by the Earth Defense Command (now known as N.E.S.T.), and investigated Insecticon activity on Earth for them.

They all later joined Ratchet on board the Autobot ship Orion, that had been built in secret from the rest of the Human race - much to the annoyance of the world Govt.’s.
