Motto: “Like my old man always said start with the neck....”
Bio: There was an Earthen saying when a child takes on their parent’s characteristic. “The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” In this case, the apple is way too damn close to the tree.
Razorbite is the youngest of three (The currently missing and on the loose serial killer Skullcruncher and the murderous nymphomaniac Bliss) of the deceased psychotic Serial Killer Carrion and the crazy, death dealing former stripper Velvet who sometimes help (And by sometimes, it’s more like an 9 out 10, once-in-a-full blue moon type of thing) the Maximals during the Spark War as well as hunting and attacking them as well. Out of the three of him, he was probably the more bloodthirsty of them all. And he really enjoys it. He didn’t truly care about innocent lives or the guilty. They were just toys to him. Played with then break them. He took sadistic glee in snuffing out life, even as going far as ripping their fuel pump and drink their energon and cover himself in their gore. He lacks compassion and empathy. The only one who can control his bloodlust and restrain him is his older and equally insane Bliss.
All this separates him from the rest of his fellow gang members. Suzume was looking for somebody who isn’t afraid of getting dirty and isn’t above taking lives when needed. Suzume found her loose cannon within Razorbite and Bliss. She recruited him along with his sister (Who secretly wants to take Suzume out and claim the gang as her own). He became Suzume’s most lethal and efficient enforcer in the gang. He didn’t really care about achieving power or anything, he just wants to see how many people he can kill. When he and his gang broke into Buggsy’s garage to still his transectors, his dreams of stacking up a big body count have come true. During the Biological Monstrosity War, he was racking up a huge body count and was enjoying it. Like most of the gang members, Razorbite was effected by Kamikaze’s Empathic Connection. Unlike them however being more compassionate and understanding, Razorbite’s spark contaminated Kamikaze’s spark, thus creating a second and more darker persona more sicker and twisted than he is. The dark alter ego calls itself Devastation.
During when he combined his transector to the others to form Sixturbo, he was trying to kill the bystanders. His actions was cut short when Renegade knocks him out of Sixturbo, falling to his death. He died. But the BM found his dead body and brought him back as one of the generals. He lead the BM to many and many blood soaked carnages and death. When he finally regained his freewill back, he struck out on his own and become a serial murderer. He succeed in hiding and racking up a huge body count before he was caught and was tried. Due to his insanity, he was thrown into an asylum instead of being put to death which he wholeheartedly deserved. He was left in the asylum for many of years, while being treated by a rotating number of psychologists (With twelve of them quitted treating because they like what they see, six committed suicide, three went insane, and two need to see other shrink.). Because of his inability to be treated made him to be called “The Case”. He was soon moved to a deeper part of the asylum and never to be seen again. Than he met a young Psychologist named Needlenose. His life changed forever. She started to treat him and he was slowly starting to developed feelings for her, but tries to hide it. He made a little bit of progress, in part due to a spark connection forming between the two and balancing out their ultra violent and ultra pacifist personality traits.
Thinking he can be redeemed, Needlenose had him under his care and lets him live with her, her Mom, and Aunts under tight supervision and tons of medication. He became their housekeeper, much to his dismay but he did it for Needlenose’s sake. When he heard for Neo-Autobots were being created to be a countermeasure for a fledging faction Neo Decepticons and to hunt them down, Razorbite joined them. But he wasn’t exactly welcomed with open arms however. He was kept around because he had experience with the transectors and know how they work and he has battles with them.
Unknownst to the others, Razor's attempts at joining the group were brought upon in part by meeting Blades, an alternate universe version of his sister Bliss. After finding out that the version of himself in that universe was able to overcome his natural urges due to his sister's failing health and become a responsible citizen of cybertronian society, a doctor no less, Razorbite has taken it upon himself to attempt to do the same here. There have been reports of visits to the temple of Primus before leaving with the other Neo-Autobots, but it is unsure what happened within... though Razorbite has been found to be more withdrawn and sympathetic then those who knew him on the crew have known.
Abilities: Thanks to his father’s genetics/technology, Razorbite have the rare Transmetal 3 technology. Because of this, his healing factor works six times efficiently and faster than an average Technorganic Cybertronian. His residual Biological Monstrosity technology boost his endurance to higher levels than usual. Even to go as far he can reattach his severed limb back to it’s original place.
Due to having contact/exposure with Needlenose’s spark, Razorbite has a telepathic/empathic link with Needlenose. He’s also insanely agile and have a insanely high hand-eye coordination that borders on supernatural and he’s insanely limber. Razorbite has enhanced eyesight with night vision and telescopic capabilities.
In addition, he has slowly learned to use his knowledge of pressure points and weak points in the techno-organic structure to learn some medical skills, though it is very unlikely anyone will let him use these newfound skills anytime soon.
Weakness: He’s not really strong despite his sturdy body and healing factor.He’s not very good with long range attacks and is a horrible shot with guns. His spark connection with Needlenose has complications involved that can cause interference with both of them. For example, should Needlenose become too violent and crazy, it would cause Razorbite to become down right pacifistic in nature until Needle is capable of calming down. Despite these situations, He’s not very well trusted within the Autobots rank and doesn’t sem to care. He’s treated more as a prisoner and a weapon than anything else. He’s actually “Persona Non Grata”.
Due to his part in the creation of Devatastion, He also has a spark connection with Kamikaze which allows Kami to cut off control of his motor functions should he go crazy again.
Name: Skybyte Junior
Allegiance: Deva Corp/Neo-Autobots
Function: Computer Analyst/Hacker/Warrior/Transector Pilot
Primary Weapon: Jaw-mounted laser-guided Torpedo (Which becomes a Two-barreled missile launcher), Quad-Razor claw, and bladed fins
Alternate Mode: Great White Shark/Antelope
Strength: 9
Endurance: 7
Intelligence: 7
Courage: 5
Speed: 8
Firepower: 5
Skill: 6
Motto: “Somebody kill me please....”
Bio: Skybyte Junior is actually the son of lesser known Destronger General/Decepticon General Skybyte Senior who served under the crazed Destronger Commander Gigatron.(Later Devil Gigatron). His father peacefully lived a quiet and uneventful live as a civilian and took up a job as a Creative Writing Professor at a community college and a poet of moderate success. He took up a wife, an Maximal computer programmer and had a son, Skybyte Jr. His mother died shortly after his birth, causing Skybyte Senior raising him alone.
Unlike most children of War Heroes, Skybyte Sr. told him and discourage Skybyte Jr about joining the military and following his path (Apparently his experience with being a Decepticon General, dealing with a insane leader, incompetent and disobedient goons, and being a general laughing stock left a bad taste in his mouth) and find something else that he’s good at. Like a normal Cybertronian, he went to school, graduated, went to college for a degree in Computer programming and have gotten a job in Deva Corp as a Computer Analyst.
The first day on the job, he was scared into submission by Trailbreaker, kicked in the nuts by Cooper, gotten attacked and leg-raped by Chibis, gotten ran over by Roadwild, seeing Chibi with various objects and attacking people with them , seeing the said chibis being in a alcohol-fueled and comically violent orgy with the co-workers, and been blown up by Roadwild. All on the same day. Seeing this caused him to develop a drinking problem to cope with the insanity. At first, he wanted to quit and had numerous nervous breakdowns. Soon he formed a friendship with children of his father’s crew, Salsa, Wingnut, Ambititron, and the self-proclaimed Duchess of Destruction Tera and started to actually look forward for work each day. Despite seeing Chibis running around and numerous of full-scale craziness. Unfortunately, his drinking didn’t stop. This was to be his life. Working in a Resurrection and Enhancer creating company that is an asylum while slowly losing his mind. And he was enjoying every minute of it.
That was until an heavy attack by the Neo Decepticons and Young Combaticons forced him and a some the workers into aiding the Neo-Autobots. Fearing for his life, Skybyte Jr tried to escape the conflict, but seeing his place of work and their employees being attack and Road Caesar losing ground inspired him to swallow his cowardliness and go back and help. He managed to hijack an Decepticon transector and tried to attack them, but it malfunctioned. Thanks to his computer skills, he quickly rebooted and did a total upgrade on the transector shell, making his transector run more fluidly and efficiently. While he was attacking the Neo-Decepticons and giving online upgrading on some of the Neo Autobots’ transectors, he helped score a win for the Neo Autobots. For once in his young life, when he was battle, he actually gained a little bit understanding of his father and his Decepticon history. It was inspiring, powerful, poetic, horrific, traumatizing, and romantic all at the same time. Violent but at the same time honorable. He didn’t want to do that slag again! He was about to go back to his normal life and forget this ever happened, until Suzume pleaded with him to help the team to bring down Czar’s Forces.
With some encouragement from Deva and his friends, Skybyte Jr decided to join the team. He disobey his father’s wishes of joining any military forces of any kind. He tried civilian life. He’s going to try Dad’s old life. And maybe, just maybe he can redeem the family name.
Well, good luck with that one.
Abilities: Like his father, Skybyte Jr. possess thruster jets and spin-drive tail which can boost speed and allow for limited low-level flight. It’s only been speculated but Skybyte Jr might have heightened eyesight that enables him todetect Neo-Decepticon activity even from over 20,000 fathoms below the ocean surface and being able to travel well over 600 knots. When underwater his speed and maneuverability increases greatly.His powerful jaws can tear through an armored tank. Skybyte is a skilled computer programmer with medium hacking skills.
Weakness: Despite his strength, his endurance, and tank armor-rendering jaws, Skybyte Jr is no warrior by any means. He doesn’t have any combat skills of any kind. He can throw a punch but there isn’t any strength to it (Despite the fact he can rip off a piece of metal off of a tank to little to no problem). He’s also a lousy shot too. He’s also something of a coward due to the fact he wasn’t used to being shot at a daily basis and being in life and death situations. Also due to the stressful nature of being with the Neo Autobot and working with Deva Corp, he developed a drinking problem as a way too cope with the stress and craziness around him.

Skill: 7
Motto: “I love blowing slag up in the morning!”
“ Vortex....Maelstorm!”
Bio: As one as you might have guess, the second Vortex is the grandson of the feared Combaticon Interrogator. He took up the interrogation mantle of his grandfather. Not only that, he also chose to simply terrorize the skies. To do that, he upgrade his shell from an technorganic to the more powerful Transmetal 2 shell and took a vehicle mode patterned after his grandfather’s original Helicopter alternative mode. Unlike Onslaught, Blast-Off, and Ripoff, Vortex doesn’t gives a tailpipe what his grandfather thinks of him and what not. He also thinks that Onslaught is wasting time, trying to get approval from a bunch of old bots who ought to be retiring right now. He lives for his team and himself. Screw the old timers. He’s as good as his old man and he refuses to follow his path. He’s also isn’t interested with restoring the Combaticons name to their former glory. Unlike Onslaught, Blastoff, and Navyseal who were scholar darlings around the Stormrave Military Academy, Vortex is a the stereotypical beer-drinking frat boy. He doesn’t care much for scholarly pursuits. He just wants to know the closest bar where he can get some energon lager or which person he should beat up today. Vortex is sometime seen in Downbelow, looking for a good fist fights, some good cheap booze and some morally loose femmes. And oh, and a bunch of bunch gunfights. Unlike his grandfather who seldom talks and is always quiet, he’s loud and very boisterous. He’s also very short-tempered and quick to pull the trigger or throw a fist. This action alone makes everybody think he’s actually Brawl’s grandson instead of the quiet Helicopter. He fancies himself as a Ladies’ Man, but his less-than desirable track record with femmes say otherwise.
What he lacks in intelligence, he makes up for brutality and physical strength. It also helps he has an enough weapons to take down a small armed platoon. He also has a bit of street smarts as well. He strikes up a strange friendship with the quiet and brutally efficient Marine Operation specialist Navyseal. Despite not having any kind of grudge with the Neo Stunticons unlike the others, he antagonize them anyways just for the sheer hell of it and for a challenge. They’re the only ones that actually stands up to him.
When the Neo Decepticons came to employ, Vortex was happy to be hired. He gets to make money out of he loves doing. Causing havoc. As for the once-thought common goal acceptance from their grandfathers and giving the power back to the Decepticons, Vortex just simply wants a steady paycheck and see how many people he can put in a body bag.
Abilities: In his beast mode, he can fly up to 200 mph and reaches up to speed of Mach 1. He’s not as fast as Blastoff and Ripoff, but he can keep ahead to him. Also in his beast mode, he has superhuman maneuverability and a high reaction time. His transmetal 2 shell gives him bit of protection.
In his copter mode, his endurance heightens and he gets high-powered weaponry. Even though he loses bits of his speed, he still has his maneuverability and he has an highly-advanced targeting system which makes him accurate shots. In his robot mode, he has an high-level of strength which enables to break an Anti-Tank assault cannon when applied with enough pressure and he has heightened endurance. He’s a strength level below Onslaught, but he gets out results. He also an expert on hand-to-hand combat and he has heightened eyesight with an advance targeting system.
Like his grandfather, he’s a highly brutal and efficient interrogator. His favorite method is taking a Maximal or Autobot, flying them into the air at high speeds and then dropping them at high speed until they spill the beans on whatever juicy secret. Than he lets them hit the ground. He has the ability to merge with his teammates to form Junior Bruticus.
Weakness: In his copter mode, his speed decreases dramatically. He can be easily His low intelligence and willingness to use excessive force sometimes makes him a liability than an asset. His street smarts gives him a little bit of edge from being totally labeled an idiot, but not by much. He’s also prone to mind games and manipulations. Also his goals differs from his team of wanting their forefathehrs of accepting them and restoring the family’s name while he’s basically in it for money and power, making him the black sheep of the team. Not a big fan for planning and strategy. This puts him and constant odds with Onslaught.

Skill: 9
Motto: “What will it be, big boy? Cash, Credit, or Ass? I’ll take the first and last though, big boy.”
(His usual response when somebody ask him where did he get that from) “I know a guy, ya silly willy!”
“Ripoff...Hustle!”
Bio: Son of the Combaticon Munitions Experts and Professional Scam Artist Swindle, Ripoff takes more after his grandfather more than his parents. He’s a salesman with a golden tongue that would enable him to sell anything. He once sold a broken down Ion Drive to somebody. When he was found, he managed to have the customer convinced it was actually another that gave him the Ion Drive for him to sell. The end result? He got the money and avoid a date with the smelting pit. Like his team mates, he’s a student in the Stormrave Military Academy and only came in on the account of the fact that he’s the grandson of the famed Combaticons (Unlike Onslaught who worked hard and managed to obtain an scholarship). Unlike Onslaught, Blastoff and Navyseal, he and fellow teammate, Vortex only came to college for two things. Girls, drugs and booze, but in his case of Ripoff, boys. Despite his charms and intellect, he didn’t care too much about school and would skip to make some money on the side. He enjoyed party, shopping with Blastoff and making deals and scams than going to class to be a career solider. Unlike his teammates, he doesn’t have much of a grudge and elitist attitude towards the Neo Stunticons. In fact he thinks they’re cool and flirts with the males on the team from time to time.
Because of his sexuality and the fact he looks like a girl (He gets mistaken for one sometimes), his grandfather disowned him and refused to acknowledge him as his son. Despite made him depressed and pushed him to abuse enhancers and party harder. Most of his teammates were disowned by their grandfathers because they think they’re not using their gifts properly and not doing anything to maintain the family name (Except Navyseal. Brawl still thinks highly of him but doesn’t show it).
If it wasn’t for that small, lucrative odd-job business (That ranges from semi-legal to totally illegal) and not to mention a couple of “favors” he performed, the Young Combaticons would have lived out on the streets right than. Living on their small inheritance helps too. He was working on his small odd-jobs and working with Payload Inc before the Enhancer Incident with Devacrop left them out of the job. During that time, his small business was dwindling down. His partying and bar-hopping still continued but he also starting to ponder their future. Megatron was dead, the Decepticons were long gone, and they’re hasn’t been a war for a long millennia. That was than when the Neo Decepticons came up to their doorstep, promising them adventures and power. For Ripoff, it means one thing. New customers and more money! Like the rest of his teammates, he joined in, hoping to rake in on
Abilities: Do to his light frame and the nature of his beast mode, Ripoff is the fastest members of the Young Combaticons and . He’s also very agile and can race against Neo Stunticons member Diva and Jidai. As a side effect of his speed, he has an high-powered reaction time and could open fire on his enemies before they could open fire. Those physical gifts pale in comparison to his true gifts. One, his first gift is his dictionary-knowledge on weapons and explosives. He knows any different kind of model right down to their registration number. His knowledge on weapons and explosives is on pars with Neo Stunticon Tripwire. His second is his grandfather’s gift of gab. He has a smooth tongue-meaning he can make you feel good and sell you anything. So good he can convince Primus to buy an used and broken CD player with a huge smile on his face. He merges with his teammates to form Junior Bruticus.
Weakness He can’t fire his Cannon at while he’s in his cycle mode. The massive kickback from it would cause him to be knocked back and cause him to crash. He’s also prone to overturns when speeding high speeds. Despite his considerable strength, he’s a poor hand to hand combatant and would rather attack his enemies from the distance with a sniper rifle or rely on stronger members of his team for protection. He has light armoring and can’t take to many hits. It must be noted that Ripoff is his grandfather’s grandson. He’s more willing to sale out his parents or teammates if he gets any money or something more desirable out of it. Despite his good-natured, fun-loving friendly bar-hopping demeanor, he watches out for one person and one person only. HIMSELF. And oh, he would also would make deals with the Neo Autobots as well.

Strength: 9
Endurance: 7
Intelligence: 8
Courage: 10
Speed: 5
Firepower: 3
Skill: 8
Motto: " Hey! I think I can fix this..."
Bio: As far as he can remember, he's always fixing things. You can say he was born with a wrench connected to his hand. He's the only son born to military mechanics, Jack (His actual name) It was apparent that he inherited his parents' knowledge in mechanics and electronics.But he also received something extras as well. Jack was gifed with machinery genius and intution as well the gift of thinking outside the box. Jack has the a In Primary School, he managed to build a mini Signularity Point dwarf star engine and managed to repair the engine of a Star Cruiser with little to no problems. This attracted the attention of the Military and the Sciencifitic community. Because of his skills, he was put on a watch list of potentials. After graduating from High School, he was instantly was recruited by the Maximal Defense Force. Once there, he was trained by them extensively. Along with hand-to-hand Combat training along with weapon handling, he was further trained in mechanics (Which he already highly excels), Computers, Communications, and Medic to make him a good solider. He excelled in both clas While he was there, he also master the arts of reverse engineering and work heavily on his computer infilaration skills. That was than when everybody started to call him "Handyman". Soon they started to call him Handyman Jack. He was excited. After his training was complete, he graduated with high honors and was transferred to the MDF as a Mechanic and Foot Solider/Combat Solider. He even became the team's medic and communications expert when needed. When he suffered an injury that not only gave him his Oraganutan beast mode but put him out of action for two months, he was given a Mechanic and computer expert position instead. He took it quite well and figured he wasn't cut out to be a solider. That and he liked being able to fix stuff. That and he has more time for porn during the off hours. He was pretty much content. That was until his squad received a distress signal from Quadbass, telling his squad to bring in back up. Fast. She explained to them that they dealing something that not even she or her squad (The Vindicons) that they weren't totally prepared for. She also strongly stressed the bring in help fast part. Jack was selected to be the support/backup team for the Vindicon unit. This action made Jack pick up the rifle again.
When he and his squad set out to assist Quadbass and her squad, they were ambush by a collaliton of the B-17 Experiments and the Council backed Congressional Guard. Jack and his squad put up a valiant effort against the B-17 Experiments and Congressional Guard (They even manage to drop three of the very powerful B-17 Experiments and a couple of CG Goons) but to no avail. After the dust settle, only a handle of MDF soliders survived and escaped. Jack was the lucky few. When the CG was about to take the surviving soliders, Jack and three other soliders made a last ditch attempt for the others to escape. The surviving soliders successfully escape; but not without a cost. Because of their desperate distraction attempted, two soliders got killed and Jack and the other one were taken to the IDC to be experimented. When he arrived, the warrens offered Jack a job as a employee for the Barracks-17 experiments hearing about his skills. Jack just gave them a middle finger (or a Cybertronian equivelent of it) and refused their deal. Angered and insulted, they toss Jack into the B-17 wing just to spite him. Slowly becoming unnerved by all the horrors he seen, Jack was starting to slowly go crazy. To prevent himself from going crazy, he would draw up plans for useless machines he would build and would make tiny machinery and disassembled it. It prevent him from going to the deep end. He thought he would die here, until he was approached by the ninja femme December. She gives a deal of protection if she can do a little favor for her boss. Seeing he has nothing else to lose, he accepted. December took Jack to the chain-smoking Martial Artist "Bogart". Bogart wanted Jack to repair his arm and do something about the lose wirings near his spark case. Jack successfully repaired both his arm and his spark case. Impressed and thankful for that little job, Bogart made Jack a member of his little cliche called the "The Pack" (Not to be confused with Spychangers Special Forces that Deadair served). Jack became the group's official tech guy (Even though he doesn't get to mess around with tech). He even remained with them when the IDC was liberated. When he got onto Dai Atlas, Jack became the pilot of the Red Dragon part of Dai Atlas. He was involved in rescue mission to retrive Tricero. When he isn't on mission, Jack can be seen in the workshop, tinkering with some stuff while eating some energon goodies. Not to mention trying to find out his connection to Dai Atlas.
Abilities: Unlike a good majority of the B-17 Experiments, Jack doesn't have any protoform enhancements or upgraded powers. His beast mode gives him heightened strength (Well heightened enough for a Cybertronian) that enables him to bench press 5 tons, heightend endurance, agility that's highly disproportinate to his size, and climbing abilities (Not superhuman like Corpsepaint, but enough to beat somebody in a Monkey Bar race). His beast mode allows his hyper deterious feet to function as extra pair of hands when needed. Jack is also a highly skilled mechanic of a very high caliber. So skilled he can repaired a warp drive engine while being blindfolded and can build a small hovercraft when given the right amount of material and tools. He can create, countermend, and upgrade any machinery he can get his hands on. He's also well verse in the art of reverse engineering and cybernetics. He's a literal grease monkey. He's also trained in number of hand-to-hand combat and fighting styles, firearms and explosives (Due to his time in the MDF) computer hacking and walfare, communications, and a little bit of first aid. He's also connected to the Red Dragon part of Dai Atlas.
Weakness: Jack is physically slower than the others and can be overwhlemed by faster Cybertronians. His strength and endurance pretty makes up for his lack of speed, but being nailed by fast moving Cybertronians isn't no fun. Despite the fact he was trained to handle firearms and he carries a Rocket Launcher (Rarely uses it though), Jack doesn't possess any weapons and would be very useless in a situation where firearms are involved. Unlike a good majority of the B-17 Experiments, he doesn't have any upgrades or protoform enhancements. Even though his link with Dai Atlas benefits him and the IDC, it also serves as a big liability. Whatever Dai Atlas feels, he feels.

Motto: "Bare hands? Guns? Swords? Being Frozen Alive? Your choice."
Bio: December was born the eldest daughter of three children of a well-known Ice-manipulating Ninja and a Geisha/Spy who were members of Carnivac's Ninja Guild, she dreamed of being a Ninja like her father, Coldrunner. Before she became the age of joining the Academy to be train to be functioning Ninjas, Spies, and Assassins for the Guild, December was already fiercely training for the long and physically and mentally demending training regiment the Academy asks of her. It was during that time, December's Ice-manipulating abilities (And her family's bloodline/programming abilities) started to manifest themselves. She was one of two children to manifest the family's abilities (Her older sister, Azure Melody, has the family's Ice-based abilities as well), causing her younger brother, Iceringer to be jealous and habor a festering resentment towards her. When she enrolled to the academy, December was ranked high in her studies and bloomed a talented rookie Ninja. She was so good, she attracted the attention of their Leader and teacher of the Academy, Carnivac. Carnivac trained Decemer and four other students (One of them being Ghostride) under her. They called themselves the "Mayhem Squad" in honor of their mentor and teacher. She and her four cellmates graduated with high honors. After her graduation, she and her fellow "Mayhem Squad" members briefly worked as Carnivac's personal bodyguards. When her tenture as Carnivac's bodyguard was up, she and her cellmates split up and left the safety and confines of the Guild to make their niche and density. December worked as a freelancer Assassin, working for two of the biggest Crime Family in East Polyhex and lesser known and less successful gangsters. Even though she was functioning as an independent paid assassin, she still considers herself a member of the Ninja Guild and tries her best to apply what she learns into her daily life. She was making a killing and was on the fast track in the ranks of contract killers. She was up to ranking number three until she had a encounter with a young exiled ninja (And Future Neo Decepticon) named Naraku, who was guarding a gang that December was sent to eliminated. The two engaged in a heated and violent battle which left half of the gangsters dead and both of them substaining heavy injury. December had the upper hand, but Narkau's speed and agility and body controlling abilities pretty much won him the victory. This left a bitter taste in her mouth. December has swore to defeat him and have been training towards the goal since than. When she heard Ghostride was captured by the Congressional Guard and was sent to the Iacon Detention Center, December broke in a attempted to search and rescue her cellmate. Unfortunately, she was ambushed and taken out thanks to a member of her Guild turned traitor. She was than taken to the infamous Barracks 17 to be experimented on. They were attempts to wear down her mental strength through hypnotics and narcotic techinques and physical abuse. Unlike Ghostride, she endured their tortures and brainwashing attempts. Realizing she couldn't be broken, the wardens decided to throw her into the "Pit" (A ultra violent fighting Pit where rejected experiments and hardened criminals do battle to the death). If they can't control her, they'll dig out the Ice-controlling technology out of her body after she gets killed. She was very victorious in the Pit and was very much at home in the pit. While she wasn't taking down the inmates and watching her back, she would search for Ghostride. When she heard what happend to Ghostride, she was depressed. She failed on rescuing her teammate. She couldn't bring herself to come back to the Guild to tell them the bad news about Ghostride. She stayed in IDC as her self-inflicted punishment for failing to retrieve her cellmate. Because of this, she started to developed a death wish. She continue to dominate the Pit with the intent on getting killed. She was nowhere near getting killed and all of her opponents were getting much easier and easier to defeat or kill (To her). It was so bad, that she would even let the opponents take the first crack at her. It was that way until she meets the enigmatic, chain-smoking Martial Artist "Bogart". December thought little of the Martial Artist. She went to battle with him. Even though they were nearly equal and have very different fighting style, Bogart won the hard fought victory. December was shocked. She found somebody that can actually beat her. Trully beat her. This lost was sobering. And exciting. Impressed with his skills, December wants to battle him again. The second time, she won. Bogart and December continuously fought each other, but each victory was a tie. Admired by her skills and she amazed with his guts and resolve, Bogart and December decided to join forces and form a gang to fight the other gangs in B-17. Soon they started to collect other inmates with different skills and formed the "The Pack". December can be seen, following behind Bogart and her gang, so she can protect them from behind.
When the prison-wide breakout that was staged by Nachos occured, December and her gang members escape as well. In the panic and confusion, December and her remaining gang members went with Dao and was involved with a rescue mission as well. December's resolve have been reignited. She will retrieve Ghostride and hopefully undo some of the damages that was done to him. Staying with her new "Mayhem Squad" , she has a bit of a chance to get Ghostride back. At any cost.
Abilities: Since she came from the Ninja Guild, December, like her fellow clan members, was taught and heavily trained in Ninjitsu (Both Earth and Cybertronian style) and Cybertronian Martial Arts. Because of her status as a Ninja, December underwent some minor alterations (As did most of her clan members) to serve her purpose and to help to survive. Her natural eyesight (Which were already high to begin with) has been upgraded, allowing her to see 45 feet away. Her upgraded vision allows her to see in the infrared spectrum and allow to see faint traces of energy. Due to her eyesight and her beast mode, she has a fully functional Night Vision that allows her to see in near-total darkness. She also has sound dampeners installed on the soles of her feet and bio-electromagnetic padding installed in her hands and feet so she can scale walls and even ceiling with little to no problem. Thanks to a special ventilation systems and a specially made cybernetics, December can use her own coolant, lowering its temperature to subzero levels, emit towards her opponents, freezing them and stopping in their tracks. Because of this, she has limited cold and ice protection and manipulation abilities. She's very creative with the use of her Ice-based powers and created a couple of tricks and moves with it. One of her favorite tricks of her ice-based abilities are creating a circle of influence around her intended target and freeze everything within the circle from the ground upwards until it reaches the sky. She's also trained in information gathering, escaping and episonage.
In her beast mode, December can flies up to speed of 120 mph. Two levels below high speed flyers like Starscream and Nightscream, but it can do the job. Like Payload and Coldheart, she can withstand near sub zero-temperature and has an strong resistance towards ice and cold based-attacks.
Weakness: December inherited the classic weakness that those with flight-based or scout based shells. She's not very physically strong nor durable in her robot mode. Despite her speed and high-reaction time, one well place punch by stronger opponents as well as heavy arterilly fire can take her down easy. Overuse of her ice based powers causes her to be physically and mentally exhausted. Prolonged would cause her body to shut down so it can regain the lost energies it used in making ice and prevent her body from being overheated. She also has a weakness towards heat and fire based attacks.

Motto: “If you don't stop squirming right now, I'll put YOU in the body bag my own damn self!"
Bio: Pseudometal is a former Special Operation Agent that worked the Special Forces branch of the Maximal Military Force that specializes in Counterintelligence, Anti-Terrorism, and Black Operations. Before he joined the Special Forces, he was a medical student with talents for medicine. He was talented in the arts of the healing and was very good at it. He came from the same school that the second First Aid once attended. Have he not been recruited by the MMF, he would have been a high-ranking Doctor in one Cybertron’s prestige hospitals. Psuedometal was trained in the arts of killing and was sent into the field, he realized he was good at killing as well as healing. He spent sometimes trying to reconcile his Special Forces Training with his healing hand. During one mission, he patched up a wounded partner while returning enemy fire. Since than he has become Agent and Field Medic for his team. During a couple of successful missions and three failed ones, Pseudometal hopes to retire and goes back to his medical training. That was than when the Council recruited him for the head Prison Doctor position of the Iacon Detention Center because he has extensive medical knowledge and he can fend himself well should he be encountered with a problem with one of the inmates. His new job kept them busy as both guards and Prisoners come in vary degrees of injuries that ranges from bad to he ought to be dead seriousness. Despite all this, he manages to keep his bed manner to a strict professional manner. That all changes when he met two inmates, Strikeringer (A Maximal/Neo Decepticon a former Solider for the Maximal Army) and Corpsemaker (A Predacon femme who’s one of Cybertron’s highly skilled Technorganic Martial Artist and a huge fan of Earth Metal Music) who were in for false crimes.
At first it was friendly chat than it extends to occasional hang outs (Whenever the prisoners can come out to do some manual labor or some activities). It was to the point that Pseudometal requested that the two inmates will be his servants just so he can be close to them. The couple even made him their upcoming child’s (Soon to be named Corpsepaint) godfather. The couple explain to them the council was becoming corrupted and rotted. They also revealed to him that a good majority of the prisoners are here because they went up against the Council and lost. Some were criminals with minor charges. This started to make him distrust the IDC a little. One life changing made him turned against his employers for good. He was responsible for delivering Corpsemaker’s child into the world. It would have been a wonderful experience if it wasn’t for the fact his friend hadn’t died from massive energon loss. Her last words were take care of her son for her. The fact that made him even more sad and angry at the council and his employers was that if he had more updated and upgraded equipment, Corpsemaker would have been alive. For once during his stay in IDC, he was never more angry and wanting to kill his employers. He realizes Strikeringer and his newborn son, Corpsepaint can’t stay here. He made plans to break them out of prison, but he didn’t want to risk their lives over it. Ironically enough, Strikeringer had the same idea. He was planning to break out with his son. Since he has some training in Black Ops, Pseudometal inserted himself into the escape attempt and try to help him. He was also willing to risk his job to get him and his son out of here. Reluctantly, Strikeringer let him join in on the escape attempt. When it was time, Pseudometal and Strikeringer along with the newborn Corpsepaint made their escape. Their escape attempt was deemed a failure when the Guards caught them. Result of that, Strikeringer was immediately killed, leaving the baby a virtual orphan. His last words to Pseudometal was take care of Corpsepaint and be a father to him as much as he can. Because of his involvement with Strikeringer’s breakout attempt, Pseudometal was fired from his position and became a prisoner in IDC. The warrens decided to let Pseudometal raise Corpsepaint some. Because of the death of his friends and his (to him anyways) involvement with their deaths, Pseudo gotten depressed and closed off his emotions and affections and only giving to his now adopted son Corpsepaint (Even though they were times that he can’t look at him because he reminds to much of his parents). When the CRF liberated IDC, Pseudometal was among of many prisoners that escape. Despite being free, he’s still mourning the lost of his best friends and he’s still emotionally dead. It’s not known if he’ll ever be whole again.
Abilities: Due to his all mechanical physiology, enhancers won’t have any kind of effect on him what’s so ever. Also he has heightened endurance due to his entirely mechanical shell He has night vision and microscopic vision that enables him to see things on a smaller scale or having to perform surgery in total darkness. He also has X-Ray vision capabilities so he can see stuff the inside of a Cybertronian. His body have been modified for medical capabilities. His hand houses a high intensity surgical lasers that can cut through four inch thick polymer steel. His fingers also houses laser scalpels. He can be seen with a portable medical kit on him at times. His shell can resist heavy caliber fire.
In his Car Mode, he can reach up to speeds of 190 mph. His tires are reinforced with industrial strength rubber and filled with specialized gel to prevent blowouts.
Weakness: Unlike Clinker, he doesn’t quite follow the Hypocritic Oath to every letter. If there’s one part of the Oath he overlooked (or crossed out), it’s probably “Do no harm”. The fact he was a trained killer makes it hard to follow that, causing him some major distrust from his fellow medics (With the exception of Clinker). Due to his time as a Special Operative and his time in IDC, he’s a little cynical and has a deadpan and dark sense of humor . He also doesn’t have bedside manners and would gladly would punch a wounded Cybertronian just to get him or her to shut up. Due to his trauma, he doesn’t play very well with others. When Corpsepaint’s (And soon, Clinker’s) life is threatened, his sarcastic, borderline alcoholic medic persona takes a backseat and he becomes an enraged, bloodthirsty savage. Logic and reasoning no longer applies to him when he’s in that state.
Like all Machine-based Cybertronians, he has a strong vulnerabilities to Electromagnetic Pulses and he has no healing capabilities and must relay on repair jobs and CR chambers. He also can’t make sharp turns while speeding unless he wants to go into a violent collision.

Motto: "Hurry the slag up! I don't have a lot of minutes you know!"
Bio: In Earth Modern Times, A cellphone is an essential tool for everyday life. Humans uses it to communciates with others, take pictures, send text messages, access the internet, and even download and listen to music on it. In either hands, it can be used for good, for evil, or simply for entertainment. For Cybertronians, they make the ideals spies, communicators and sabeoturs. It's either that or they had too much time on their hands. Even though Cybertron converted into a Technorganic planet, a massive war relief efforts were going on, and all the opposing factions (Maximals, Predacons, Vehicons, Autobots, and Decepticons) all signed a peace treaty, shady dealings were still going on in the background. Both of the opposing factions that want to risk a breach of the treaty, both factions created (And in some cases, reintroduce) the small and stealthy Minibots. They were created to spy on other factions without being detected and give information about them. In some cases, they were built to sabotage whatever the other faction were doing or even assassinate their chosen target. Fliptop was one of them. The short but outspoken and booze loving Minibot was created by an rouge Maximal/Decepticons alliance to keep on tabs on the other factions and the upstart Feral Prime (Formerly Cheetor) led council. He was also created as a mobile broadband for hackers and computer experts when he's teamed up with them. He was one of the most requested spies in the field and was always in high demend. Fliptop was good at his job and business was very good. When the council revealed the existence of the Minibots, Fliptop found himself out of the job. Because of this, he resorted to doing odd jobs with the Cybertronian Crime family and various of the Police Departments and Special Forces.
He even resorted to drinking low grade stuff. He was down on his luck until he was approached by Starscream. Starscream gave him a job as his personal spy and communications between him and the second generation Decepticons. During that time, he started to shack up with Starfall, Starscream (God Starscream's daughter) and have a brief but violently unstable affair. Before he was about to head back into time with the Decepticons, he broke up with her. Starfall being a crazy chica she is, she had Fliptop thrown into the IDC for accusing him of sexually assault her and plot to commit high treason. Due to his small size and nearly being overlooked prevented him from being experimented on and avoid life threatening situations. He met up with highly talented computer hacker and Internet Warfare specialist C-Cord. Fliptop became her computer in exchange for booze and whatever she can smuggle. This business/codependent relationship turned into a friendship. He even formed a friendship with the other hackers and Elecronic speicalists. He even helped them out with the computers during the mass breakout. He reminded with C-Cord and the hackers since than. He joined the IDC for the reason he had nothing else better to do and not having much of a life to go back to. Despite the fact nobody notices him and can go back to his old life almost unnoticed, he chose to stay with them. That and he has a deep fear that Starfall is waiting for him on the outside too.
Abilities: Fliptop is capable of patching into most forms of cybertronian computers or even cybertronians themselves. This gives him some limited tactile telepathic abilities, able to read memories or coding from a device through mere contact. He was Because of his alt mode's capabilities, he has a inbuilt mirco high powered and high speed broadband that allows him to access the internet and interface with computers. He can also store data and save it for future use. His telepathic abilities allows him to communciates numerous of his teammates over long distances. He's also very stealthy and is blind to some radars and scanners.
Weakness: Fliptop's tiny size leaves him more open to injury then his fellow cybertronians. He's also not physically strong. There's just so much that a little Cybertronian can do. He's also very vulnerable to strong Electromagentic Pulses. He's also deathly afraid of Starfall for reasons he doesn't want to disclose. Hearing her name alone is guarenteed to give him a nevrous breakdown.

Motto: “Like my old man always said start with the neck....”
Bio: There was an Earthen saying when a child takes on their parent’s characteristic. “The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” In this case, the apple is way too damn close to the tree.
Razorbite is the youngest of three (The currently missing and on the loose serial killer Skullcruncher and the murderous nymphomaniac Bliss) of the deceased psychotic Serial Killer Carrion and the crazy, death dealing former stripper Velvet who sometimes help (And by sometimes, it’s more like an 9 out 10, once-in-a-full blue moon type of thing) the Maximals during the Spark War as well as hunting and attacking them as well. Out of the three of him, he was probably the more bloodthirsty of them all. And he really enjoys it. He didn’t truly care about innocent lives or the guilty. They were just toys to him. Played with then break them. He took sadistic glee in snuffing out life, even as going far as ripping their fuel pump and drink their energon and cover himself in their gore. He lacks compassion and empathy. The only one who can control his bloodlust and restrain him is his older and equally insane Bliss.
All this separates him from the rest of his fellow gang members. Suzume was looking for somebody who isn’t afraid of getting dirty and isn’t above taking lives when needed. Suzume found her loose cannon within Razorbite and Bliss. She recruited him along with his sister (Who secretly wants to take Suzume out and claim the gang as her own). He became Suzume’s most lethal and efficient enforcer in the gang. He didn’t really care about achieving power or anything, he just wants to see how many people he can kill. When he and his gang broke into Buggsy’s garage to still his transectors, his dreams of stacking up a big body count have come true. During the Biological Monstrosity War, he was racking up a huge body count and was enjoying it. Like most of the gang members, Razorbite was effected by Kamikaze’s Empathic Connection. Unlike them however being more compassionate and understanding, Razorbite’s spark contaminated Kamikaze’s spark, thus creating a second and more darker persona more sicker and twisted than he is. The dark alter ego calls itself Devastation.
During when he combined his transector to the others to form Sixturbo, he was trying to kill the bystanders. His actions was cut short when Renegade knocks him out of Sixturbo, falling to his death. He died. But the BM found his dead body and brought him back as one of the generals. He lead the BM to many and many blood soaked carnages and death. When he finally regained his freewill back, he struck out on his own and become a serial murderer. He succeed in hiding and racking up a huge body count before he was caught and was tried. Due to his insanity, he was thrown into an asylum instead of being put to death which he wholeheartedly deserved. He was left in the asylum for many of years, while being treated by a rotating number of psychologists (With twelve of them quitted treating because they like what they see, six committed suicide, three went insane, and two need to see other shrink.). Because of his inability to be treated made him to be called “The Case”. He was soon moved to a deeper part of the asylum and never to be seen again. Than he met a young Psychologist named Needlenose. His life changed forever. She started to treat him and he was slowly starting to developed feelings for her, but tries to hide it. He made a little bit of progress, in part due to a spark connection forming between the two and balancing out their ultra violent and ultra pacifist personality traits.
Thinking he can be redeemed, Needlenose had him under his care and lets him live with her, her Mom, and Aunts under tight supervision and tons of medication. He became their housekeeper, much to his dismay but he did it for Needlenose’s sake. When he heard for Neo-Autobots were being created to be a countermeasure for a fledging faction Neo Decepticons and to hunt them down, Razorbite joined them. But he wasn’t exactly welcomed with open arms however. He was kept around because he had experience with the transectors and know how they work and he has battles with them.
Unknownst to the others, Razor's attempts at joining the group were brought upon in part by meeting Blades, an alternate universe version of his sister Bliss. After finding out that the version of himself in that universe was able to overcome his natural urges due to his sister's failing health and become a responsible citizen of cybertronian society, a doctor no less, Razorbite has taken it upon himself to attempt to do the same here. There have been reports of visits to the temple of Primus before leaving with the other Neo-Autobots, but it is unsure what happened within... though Razorbite has been found to be more withdrawn and sympathetic then those who knew him on the crew have known.
Abilities: Thanks to his father’s genetics/technology, Razorbite have the rare Transmetal 3 technology. Because of this, his healing factor works six times efficiently and faster than an average Technorganic Cybertronian. His residual Biological Monstrosity technology boost his endurance to higher levels than usual. Even to go as far he can reattach his severed limb back to it’s original place.
Due to having contact/exposure with Needlenose’s spark, Razorbite has a telepathic/empathic link with Needlenose. He’s also insanely agile and have a insanely high hand-eye coordination that borders on supernatural and he’s insanely limber. Razorbite has enhanced eyesight with night vision and telescopic capabilities.
In addition, he has slowly learned to use his knowledge of pressure points and weak points in the techno-organic structure to learn some medical skills, though it is very unlikely anyone will let him use these newfound skills anytime soon.
Weakness: He’s not really strong despite his sturdy body and healing factor.He’s not very good with long range attacks and is a horrible shot with guns. His spark connection with Needlenose has complications involved that can cause interference with both of them. For example, should Needlenose become too violent and crazy, it would cause Razorbite to become down right pacifistic in nature until Needle is capable of calming down. Despite these situations, He’s not very well trusted within the Autobots rank and doesn’t sem to care. He’s treated more as a prisoner and a weapon than anything else. He’s actually “Persona Non Grata”.
Due to his part in the creation of Devatastion, He also has a spark connection with Kamikaze which allows Kami to cut off control of his motor functions should he go crazy again.

Motto: “Somebody kill me please....”
Bio: Skybyte Junior is actually the son of lesser known Destronger General/Decepticon General Skybyte Senior who served under the crazed Destronger Commander Gigatron.(Later Devil Gigatron). His father peacefully lived a quiet and uneventful live as a civilian and took up a job as a Creative Writing Professor at a community college and a poet of moderate success. He took up a wife, an Maximal computer programmer and had a son, Skybyte Jr. His mother died shortly after his birth, causing Skybyte Senior raising him alone.
Unlike most children of War Heroes, Skybyte Sr. told him and discourage Skybyte Jr about joining the military and following his path (Apparently his experience with being a Decepticon General, dealing with a insane leader, incompetent and disobedient goons, and being a general laughing stock left a bad taste in his mouth) and find something else that he’s good at. Like a normal Cybertronian, he went to school, graduated, went to college for a degree in Computer programming and have gotten a job in Deva Corp as a Computer Analyst.
The first day on the job, he was scared into submission by Trailbreaker, kicked in the nuts by Cooper, gotten attacked and leg-raped by Chibis, gotten ran over by Roadwild, seeing Chibi with various objects and attacking people with them , seeing the said chibis being in a alcohol-fueled and comically violent orgy with the co-workers, and been blown up by Roadwild. All on the same day. Seeing this caused him to develop a drinking problem to cope with the insanity. At first, he wanted to quit and had numerous nervous breakdowns. Soon he formed a friendship with children of his father’s crew, Salsa, Wingnut, Ambititron, and the self-proclaimed Duchess of Destruction Tera and started to actually look forward for work each day. Despite seeing Chibis running around and numerous of full-scale craziness. Unfortunately, his drinking didn’t stop. This was to be his life. Working in a Resurrection and Enhancer creating company that is an asylum while slowly losing his mind. And he was enjoying every minute of it.
That was until an heavy attack by the Neo Decepticons and Young Combaticons forced him and a some the workers into aiding the Neo-Autobots. Fearing for his life, Skybyte Jr tried to escape the conflict, but seeing his place of work and their employees being attack and Road Caesar losing ground inspired him to swallow his cowardliness and go back and help. He managed to hijack an Decepticon transector and tried to attack them, but it malfunctioned. Thanks to his computer skills, he quickly rebooted and did a total upgrade on the transector shell, making his transector run more fluidly and efficiently. While he was attacking the Neo-Decepticons and giving online upgrading on some of the Neo Autobots’ transectors, he helped score a win for the Neo Autobots. For once in his young life, when he was battle, he actually gained a little bit understanding of his father and his Decepticon history. It was inspiring, powerful, poetic, horrific, traumatizing, and romantic all at the same time. Violent but at the same time honorable. He didn’t want to do that slag again! He was about to go back to his normal life and forget this ever happened, until Suzume pleaded with him to help the team to bring down Czar’s Forces.
With some encouragement from Deva and his friends, Skybyte Jr decided to join the team. He disobey his father’s wishes of joining any military forces of any kind. He tried civilian life. He’s going to try Dad’s old life. And maybe, just maybe he can redeem the family name.
Well, good luck with that one.
Abilities: Like his father, Skybyte Jr. possess thruster jets and spin-drive tail which can boost speed and allow for limited low-level flight. It’s only been speculated but Skybyte Jr might have heightened eyesight that enables him todetect Neo-Decepticon activity even from over 20,000 fathoms below the ocean surface and being able to travel well over 600 knots. When underwater his speed and maneuverability increases greatly.His powerful jaws can tear through an armored tank. Skybyte is a skilled computer programmer with medium hacking skills.
Weakness: Despite his strength, his endurance, and tank armor-rendering jaws, Skybyte Jr is no warrior by any means. He doesn’t have any combat skills of any kind. He can throw a punch but there isn’t any strength to it (Despite the fact he can rip off a piece of metal off of a tank to little to no problem). He’s also a lousy shot too. He’s also something of a coward due to the fact he wasn’t used to being shot at a daily basis and being in life and death situations. Also due to the stressful nature of being with the Neo Autobot and working with Deva Corp, he developed a drinking problem as a way too cope with the stress and craziness around him.

Motto: “I love blowing slag up in the morning!”
“ Vortex....Maelstorm!”
Bio: As one as you might have guess, the second Vortex is the grandson of the feared Combaticon Interrogator. He took up the interrogation mantle of his grandfather. Not only that, he also chose to simply terrorize the skies. To do that, he upgrade his shell from an technorganic to the more powerful Transmetal 2 shell and took a vehicle mode patterned after his grandfather’s original Helicopter alternative mode. Unlike Onslaught, Blast-Off, and Ripoff, Vortex doesn’t gives a tailpipe what his grandfather thinks of him and what not. He also thinks that Onslaught is wasting time, trying to get approval from a bunch of old bots who ought to be retiring right now. He lives for his team and himself. Screw the old timers. He’s as good as his old man and he refuses to follow his path. He’s also isn’t interested with restoring the Combaticons name to their former glory. Unlike Onslaught, Blastoff, and Navyseal who were scholar darlings around the Stormrave Military Academy, Vortex is a the stereotypical beer-drinking frat boy. He doesn’t care much for scholarly pursuits. He just wants to know the closest bar where he can get some energon lager or which person he should beat up today. Vortex is sometime seen in Downbelow, looking for a good fist fights, some good cheap booze and some morally loose femmes. And oh, and a bunch of bunch gunfights. Unlike his grandfather who seldom talks and is always quiet, he’s loud and very boisterous. He’s also very short-tempered and quick to pull the trigger or throw a fist. This action alone makes everybody think he’s actually Brawl’s grandson instead of the quiet Helicopter. He fancies himself as a Ladies’ Man, but his less-than desirable track record with femmes say otherwise.
What he lacks in intelligence, he makes up for brutality and physical strength. It also helps he has an enough weapons to take down a small armed platoon. He also has a bit of street smarts as well. He strikes up a strange friendship with the quiet and brutally efficient Marine Operation specialist Navyseal. Despite not having any kind of grudge with the Neo Stunticons unlike the others, he antagonize them anyways just for the sheer hell of it and for a challenge. They’re the only ones that actually stands up to him.
When the Neo Decepticons came to employ, Vortex was happy to be hired. He gets to make money out of he loves doing. Causing havoc. As for the once-thought common goal acceptance from their grandfathers and giving the power back to the Decepticons, Vortex just simply wants a steady paycheck and see how many people he can put in a body bag.
Abilities: In his beast mode, he can fly up to 200 mph and reaches up to speed of Mach 1. He’s not as fast as Blastoff and Ripoff, but he can keep ahead to him. Also in his beast mode, he has superhuman maneuverability and a high reaction time. His transmetal 2 shell gives him bit of protection.
In his copter mode, his endurance heightens and he gets high-powered weaponry. Even though he loses bits of his speed, he still has his maneuverability and he has an highly-advanced targeting system which makes him accurate shots. In his robot mode, he has an high-level of strength which enables to break an Anti-Tank assault cannon when applied with enough pressure and he has heightened endurance. He’s a strength level below Onslaught, but he gets out results. He also an expert on hand-to-hand combat and he has heightened eyesight with an advance targeting system.
Like his grandfather, he’s a highly brutal and efficient interrogator. His favorite method is taking a Maximal or Autobot, flying them into the air at high speeds and then dropping them at high speed until they spill the beans on whatever juicy secret. Than he lets them hit the ground. He has the ability to merge with his teammates to form Junior Bruticus.
Weakness: In his copter mode, his speed decreases dramatically. He can be easily His low intelligence and willingness to use excessive force sometimes makes him a liability than an asset. His street smarts gives him a little bit of edge from being totally labeled an idiot, but not by much. He’s also prone to mind games and manipulations. Also his goals differs from his team of wanting their forefathehrs of accepting them and restoring the family’s name while he’s basically in it for money and power, making him the black sheep of the team. Not a big fan for planning and strategy. This puts him and constant odds with Onslaught.

“Ripoff...Hustle!”
Bio: Son of the Combaticon Munitions Experts and Professional Scam Artist Swindle, Ripoff takes more after his grandfather more than his parents. He’s a salesman with a golden tongue that would enable him to sell anything. He once sold a broken down Ion Drive to somebody. When he was found, he managed to have the customer convinced it was actually another that gave him the Ion Drive for him to sell. The end result? He got the money and avoid a date with the smelting pit. Like his team mates, he’s a student in the Stormrave Military Academy and only came in on the account of the fact that he’s the grandson of the famed Combaticons (Unlike Onslaught who worked hard and managed to obtain an scholarship). Unlike Onslaught, Blastoff and Navyseal, he and fellow teammate, Vortex only came to college for two things. Girls, drugs and booze, but in his case of Ripoff, boys. Despite his charms and intellect, he didn’t care too much about school and would skip to make some money on the side. He enjoyed party, shopping with Blastoff and making deals and scams than going to class to be a career solider. Unlike his teammates, he doesn’t have much of a grudge and elitist attitude towards the Neo Stunticons. In fact he thinks they’re cool and flirts with the males on the team from time to time.
Because of his sexuality and the fact he looks like a girl (He gets mistaken for one sometimes), his grandfather disowned him and refused to acknowledge him as his son. Despite made him depressed and pushed him to abuse enhancers and party harder. Most of his teammates were disowned by their grandfathers because they think they’re not using their gifts properly and not doing anything to maintain the family name (Except Navyseal. Brawl still thinks highly of him but doesn’t show it).
If it wasn’t for that small, lucrative odd-job business (That ranges from semi-legal to totally illegal) and not to mention a couple of “favors” he performed, the Young Combaticons would have lived out on the streets right than. Living on their small inheritance helps too. He was working on his small odd-jobs and working with Payload Inc before the Enhancer Incident with Devacrop left them out of the job. During that time, his small business was dwindling down. His partying and bar-hopping still continued but he also starting to ponder their future. Megatron was dead, the Decepticons were long gone, and they’re hasn’t been a war for a long millennia. That was than when the Neo Decepticons came up to their doorstep, promising them adventures and power. For Ripoff, it means one thing. New customers and more money! Like the rest of his teammates, he joined in, hoping to rake in on
Abilities: Do to his light frame and the nature of his beast mode, Ripoff is the fastest members of the Young Combaticons and . He’s also very agile and can race against Neo Stunticons member Diva and Jidai. As a side effect of his speed, he has an high-powered reaction time and could open fire on his enemies before they could open fire. Those physical gifts pale in comparison to his true gifts. One, his first gift is his dictionary-knowledge on weapons and explosives. He knows any different kind of model right down to their registration number. His knowledge on weapons and explosives is on pars with Neo Stunticon Tripwire. His second is his grandfather’s gift of gab. He has a smooth tongue-meaning he can make you feel good and sell you anything. So good he can convince Primus to buy an used and broken CD player with a huge smile on his face. He merges with his teammates to form Junior Bruticus.
Weakness He can’t fire his Cannon at while he’s in his cycle mode. The massive kickback from it would cause him to be knocked back and cause him to crash. He’s also prone to overturns when speeding high speeds. Despite his considerable strength, he’s a poor hand to hand combatant and would rather attack his enemies from the distance with a sniper rifle or rely on stronger members of his team for protection. He has light armoring and can’t take to many hits. It must be noted that Ripoff is his grandfather’s grandson. He’s more willing to sale out his parents or teammates if he gets any money or something more desirable out of it. Despite his good-natured, fun-loving friendly bar-hopping demeanor, he watches out for one person and one person only. HIMSELF. And oh, he would also would make deals with the Neo Autobots as well.

Motto: " Hey! I think I can fix this..."
Bio: As far as he can remember, he's always fixing things. You can say he was born with a wrench connected to his hand. He's the only son born to military mechanics, Jack (His actual name) It was apparent that he inherited his parents' knowledge in mechanics and electronics.But he also received something extras as well. Jack was gifed with machinery genius and intution as well the gift of thinking outside the box. Jack has the a In Primary School, he managed to build a mini Signularity Point dwarf star engine and managed to repair the engine of a Star Cruiser with little to no problems. This attracted the attention of the Military and the Sciencifitic community. Because of his skills, he was put on a watch list of potentials. After graduating from High School, he was instantly was recruited by the Maximal Defense Force. Once there, he was trained by them extensively. Along with hand-to-hand Combat training along with weapon handling, he was further trained in mechanics (Which he already highly excels), Computers, Communications, and Medic to make him a good solider. He excelled in both clas While he was there, he also master the arts of reverse engineering and work heavily on his computer infilaration skills. That was than when everybody started to call him "Handyman". Soon they started to call him Handyman Jack. He was excited. After his training was complete, he graduated with high honors and was transferred to the MDF as a Mechanic and Foot Solider/Combat Solider. He even became the team's medic and communications expert when needed. When he suffered an injury that not only gave him his Oraganutan beast mode but put him out of action for two months, he was given a Mechanic and computer expert position instead. He took it quite well and figured he wasn't cut out to be a solider. That and he liked being able to fix stuff. That and he has more time for porn during the off hours. He was pretty much content. That was until his squad received a distress signal from Quadbass, telling his squad to bring in back up. Fast. She explained to them that they dealing something that not even she or her squad (The Vindicons) that they weren't totally prepared for. She also strongly stressed the bring in help fast part. Jack was selected to be the support/backup team for the Vindicon unit. This action made Jack pick up the rifle again.
When he and his squad set out to assist Quadbass and her squad, they were ambush by a collaliton of the B-17 Experiments and the Council backed Congressional Guard. Jack and his squad put up a valiant effort against the B-17 Experiments and Congressional Guard (They even manage to drop three of the very powerful B-17 Experiments and a couple of CG Goons) but to no avail. After the dust settle, only a handle of MDF soliders survived and escaped. Jack was the lucky few. When the CG was about to take the surviving soliders, Jack and three other soliders made a last ditch attempt for the others to escape. The surviving soliders successfully escape; but not without a cost. Because of their desperate distraction attempted, two soliders got killed and Jack and the other one were taken to the IDC to be experimented. When he arrived, the warrens offered Jack a job as a employee for the Barracks-17 experiments hearing about his skills. Jack just gave them a middle finger (or a Cybertronian equivelent of it) and refused their deal. Angered and insulted, they toss Jack into the B-17 wing just to spite him. Slowly becoming unnerved by all the horrors he seen, Jack was starting to slowly go crazy. To prevent himself from going crazy, he would draw up plans for useless machines he would build and would make tiny machinery and disassembled it. It prevent him from going to the deep end. He thought he would die here, until he was approached by the ninja femme December. She gives a deal of protection if she can do a little favor for her boss. Seeing he has nothing else to lose, he accepted. December took Jack to the chain-smoking Martial Artist "Bogart". Bogart wanted Jack to repair his arm and do something about the lose wirings near his spark case. Jack successfully repaired both his arm and his spark case. Impressed and thankful for that little job, Bogart made Jack a member of his little cliche called the "The Pack" (Not to be confused with Spychangers Special Forces that Deadair served). Jack became the group's official tech guy (Even though he doesn't get to mess around with tech). He even remained with them when the IDC was liberated. When he got onto Dai Atlas, Jack became the pilot of the Red Dragon part of Dai Atlas. He was involved in rescue mission to retrive Tricero. When he isn't on mission, Jack can be seen in the workshop, tinkering with some stuff while eating some energon goodies. Not to mention trying to find out his connection to Dai Atlas.
Abilities: Unlike a good majority of the B-17 Experiments, Jack doesn't have any protoform enhancements or upgraded powers. His beast mode gives him heightened strength (Well heightened enough for a Cybertronian) that enables him to bench press 5 tons, heightend endurance, agility that's highly disproportinate to his size, and climbing abilities (Not superhuman like Corpsepaint, but enough to beat somebody in a Monkey Bar race). His beast mode allows his hyper deterious feet to function as extra pair of hands when needed. Jack is also a highly skilled mechanic of a very high caliber. So skilled he can repaired a warp drive engine while being blindfolded and can build a small hovercraft when given the right amount of material and tools. He can create, countermend, and upgrade any machinery he can get his hands on. He's also well verse in the art of reverse engineering and cybernetics. He's a literal grease monkey. He's also trained in number of hand-to-hand combat and fighting styles, firearms and explosives (Due to his time in the MDF) computer hacking and walfare, communications, and a little bit of first aid. He's also connected to the Red Dragon part of Dai Atlas.
Weakness: Jack is physically slower than the others and can be overwhlemed by faster Cybertronians. His strength and endurance pretty makes up for his lack of speed, but being nailed by fast moving Cybertronians isn't no fun. Despite the fact he was trained to handle firearms and he carries a Rocket Launcher (Rarely uses it though), Jack doesn't possess any weapons and would be very useless in a situation where firearms are involved. Unlike a good majority of the B-17 Experiments, he doesn't have any upgrades or protoform enhancements. Even though his link with Dai Atlas benefits him and the IDC, it also serves as a big liability. Whatever Dai Atlas feels, he feels.

Motto: "Bare hands? Guns? Swords? Being Frozen Alive? Your choice."
Bio: December was born the eldest daughter of three children of a well-known Ice-manipulating Ninja and a Geisha/Spy who were members of Carnivac's Ninja Guild, she dreamed of being a Ninja like her father, Coldrunner. Before she became the age of joining the Academy to be train to be functioning Ninjas, Spies, and Assassins for the Guild, December was already fiercely training for the long and physically and mentally demending training regiment the Academy asks of her. It was during that time, December's Ice-manipulating abilities (And her family's bloodline/programming abilities) started to manifest themselves. She was one of two children to manifest the family's abilities (Her older sister, Azure Melody, has the family's Ice-based abilities as well), causing her younger brother, Iceringer to be jealous and habor a festering resentment towards her. When she enrolled to the academy, December was ranked high in her studies and bloomed a talented rookie Ninja. She was so good, she attracted the attention of their Leader and teacher of the Academy, Carnivac. Carnivac trained Decemer and four other students (One of them being Ghostride) under her. They called themselves the "Mayhem Squad" in honor of their mentor and teacher. She and her four cellmates graduated with high honors. After her graduation, she and her fellow "Mayhem Squad" members briefly worked as Carnivac's personal bodyguards. When her tenture as Carnivac's bodyguard was up, she and her cellmates split up and left the safety and confines of the Guild to make their niche and density. December worked as a freelancer Assassin, working for two of the biggest Crime Family in East Polyhex and lesser known and less successful gangsters. Even though she was functioning as an independent paid assassin, she still considers herself a member of the Ninja Guild and tries her best to apply what she learns into her daily life. She was making a killing and was on the fast track in the ranks of contract killers. She was up to ranking number three until she had a encounter with a young exiled ninja (And Future Neo Decepticon) named Naraku, who was guarding a gang that December was sent to eliminated. The two engaged in a heated and violent battle which left half of the gangsters dead and both of them substaining heavy injury. December had the upper hand, but Narkau's speed and agility and body controlling abilities pretty much won him the victory. This left a bitter taste in her mouth. December has swore to defeat him and have been training towards the goal since than. When she heard Ghostride was captured by the Congressional Guard and was sent to the Iacon Detention Center, December broke in a attempted to search and rescue her cellmate. Unfortunately, she was ambushed and taken out thanks to a member of her Guild turned traitor. She was than taken to the infamous Barracks 17 to be experimented on. They were attempts to wear down her mental strength through hypnotics and narcotic techinques and physical abuse. Unlike Ghostride, she endured their tortures and brainwashing attempts. Realizing she couldn't be broken, the wardens decided to throw her into the "Pit" (A ultra violent fighting Pit where rejected experiments and hardened criminals do battle to the death). If they can't control her, they'll dig out the Ice-controlling technology out of her body after she gets killed. She was very victorious in the Pit and was very much at home in the pit. While she wasn't taking down the inmates and watching her back, she would search for Ghostride. When she heard what happend to Ghostride, she was depressed. She failed on rescuing her teammate. She couldn't bring herself to come back to the Guild to tell them the bad news about Ghostride. She stayed in IDC as her self-inflicted punishment for failing to retrieve her cellmate. Because of this, she started to developed a death wish. She continue to dominate the Pit with the intent on getting killed. She was nowhere near getting killed and all of her opponents were getting much easier and easier to defeat or kill (To her). It was so bad, that she would even let the opponents take the first crack at her. It was that way until she meets the enigmatic, chain-smoking Martial Artist "Bogart". December thought little of the Martial Artist. She went to battle with him. Even though they were nearly equal and have very different fighting style, Bogart won the hard fought victory. December was shocked. She found somebody that can actually beat her. Trully beat her. This lost was sobering. And exciting. Impressed with his skills, December wants to battle him again. The second time, she won. Bogart and December continuously fought each other, but each victory was a tie. Admired by her skills and she amazed with his guts and resolve, Bogart and December decided to join forces and form a gang to fight the other gangs in B-17. Soon they started to collect other inmates with different skills and formed the "The Pack". December can be seen, following behind Bogart and her gang, so she can protect them from behind.
When the prison-wide breakout that was staged by Nachos occured, December and her gang members escape as well. In the panic and confusion, December and her remaining gang members went with Dao and was involved with a rescue mission as well. December's resolve have been reignited. She will retrieve Ghostride and hopefully undo some of the damages that was done to him. Staying with her new "Mayhem Squad" , she has a bit of a chance to get Ghostride back. At any cost.
Abilities: Since she came from the Ninja Guild, December, like her fellow clan members, was taught and heavily trained in Ninjitsu (Both Earth and Cybertronian style) and Cybertronian Martial Arts. Because of her status as a Ninja, December underwent some minor alterations (As did most of her clan members) to serve her purpose and to help to survive. Her natural eyesight (Which were already high to begin with) has been upgraded, allowing her to see 45 feet away. Her upgraded vision allows her to see in the infrared spectrum and allow to see faint traces of energy. Due to her eyesight and her beast mode, she has a fully functional Night Vision that allows her to see in near-total darkness. She also has sound dampeners installed on the soles of her feet and bio-electromagnetic padding installed in her hands and feet so she can scale walls and even ceiling with little to no problem. Thanks to a special ventilation systems and a specially made cybernetics, December can use her own coolant, lowering its temperature to subzero levels, emit towards her opponents, freezing them and stopping in their tracks. Because of this, she has limited cold and ice protection and manipulation abilities. She's very creative with the use of her Ice-based powers and created a couple of tricks and moves with it. One of her favorite tricks of her ice-based abilities are creating a circle of influence around her intended target and freeze everything within the circle from the ground upwards until it reaches the sky. She's also trained in information gathering, escaping and episonage.
In her beast mode, December can flies up to speed of 120 mph. Two levels below high speed flyers like Starscream and Nightscream, but it can do the job. Like Payload and Coldheart, she can withstand near sub zero-temperature and has an strong resistance towards ice and cold based-attacks.
Weakness: December inherited the classic weakness that those with flight-based or scout based shells. She's not very physically strong nor durable in her robot mode. Despite her speed and high-reaction time, one well place punch by stronger opponents as well as heavy arterilly fire can take her down easy. Overuse of her ice based powers causes her to be physically and mentally exhausted. Prolonged would cause her body to shut down so it can regain the lost energies it used in making ice and prevent her body from being overheated. She also has a weakness towards heat and fire based attacks.

Motto: “If you don't stop squirming right now, I'll put YOU in the body bag my own damn self!"
Bio: Pseudometal is a former Special Operation Agent that worked the Special Forces branch of the Maximal Military Force that specializes in Counterintelligence, Anti-Terrorism, and Black Operations. Before he joined the Special Forces, he was a medical student with talents for medicine. He was talented in the arts of the healing and was very good at it. He came from the same school that the second First Aid once attended. Have he not been recruited by the MMF, he would have been a high-ranking Doctor in one Cybertron’s prestige hospitals. Psuedometal was trained in the arts of killing and was sent into the field, he realized he was good at killing as well as healing. He spent sometimes trying to reconcile his Special Forces Training with his healing hand. During one mission, he patched up a wounded partner while returning enemy fire. Since than he has become Agent and Field Medic for his team. During a couple of successful missions and three failed ones, Pseudometal hopes to retire and goes back to his medical training. That was than when the Council recruited him for the head Prison Doctor position of the Iacon Detention Center because he has extensive medical knowledge and he can fend himself well should he be encountered with a problem with one of the inmates. His new job kept them busy as both guards and Prisoners come in vary degrees of injuries that ranges from bad to he ought to be dead seriousness. Despite all this, he manages to keep his bed manner to a strict professional manner. That all changes when he met two inmates, Strikeringer (A Maximal/Neo Decepticon a former Solider for the Maximal Army) and Corpsemaker (A Predacon femme who’s one of Cybertron’s highly skilled Technorganic Martial Artist and a huge fan of Earth Metal Music) who were in for false crimes.
At first it was friendly chat than it extends to occasional hang outs (Whenever the prisoners can come out to do some manual labor or some activities). It was to the point that Pseudometal requested that the two inmates will be his servants just so he can be close to them. The couple even made him their upcoming child’s (Soon to be named Corpsepaint) godfather. The couple explain to them the council was becoming corrupted and rotted. They also revealed to him that a good majority of the prisoners are here because they went up against the Council and lost. Some were criminals with minor charges. This started to make him distrust the IDC a little. One life changing made him turned against his employers for good. He was responsible for delivering Corpsemaker’s child into the world. It would have been a wonderful experience if it wasn’t for the fact his friend hadn’t died from massive energon loss. Her last words were take care of her son for her. The fact that made him even more sad and angry at the council and his employers was that if he had more updated and upgraded equipment, Corpsemaker would have been alive. For once during his stay in IDC, he was never more angry and wanting to kill his employers. He realizes Strikeringer and his newborn son, Corpsepaint can’t stay here. He made plans to break them out of prison, but he didn’t want to risk their lives over it. Ironically enough, Strikeringer had the same idea. He was planning to break out with his son. Since he has some training in Black Ops, Pseudometal inserted himself into the escape attempt and try to help him. He was also willing to risk his job to get him and his son out of here. Reluctantly, Strikeringer let him join in on the escape attempt. When it was time, Pseudometal and Strikeringer along with the newborn Corpsepaint made their escape. Their escape attempt was deemed a failure when the Guards caught them. Result of that, Strikeringer was immediately killed, leaving the baby a virtual orphan. His last words to Pseudometal was take care of Corpsepaint and be a father to him as much as he can. Because of his involvement with Strikeringer’s breakout attempt, Pseudometal was fired from his position and became a prisoner in IDC. The warrens decided to let Pseudometal raise Corpsepaint some. Because of the death of his friends and his (to him anyways) involvement with their deaths, Pseudo gotten depressed and closed off his emotions and affections and only giving to his now adopted son Corpsepaint (Even though they were times that he can’t look at him because he reminds to much of his parents). When the CRF liberated IDC, Pseudometal was among of many prisoners that escape. Despite being free, he’s still mourning the lost of his best friends and he’s still emotionally dead. It’s not known if he’ll ever be whole again.
Abilities: Due to his all mechanical physiology, enhancers won’t have any kind of effect on him what’s so ever. Also he has heightened endurance due to his entirely mechanical shell He has night vision and microscopic vision that enables him to see things on a smaller scale or having to perform surgery in total darkness. He also has X-Ray vision capabilities so he can see stuff the inside of a Cybertronian. His body have been modified for medical capabilities. His hand houses a high intensity surgical lasers that can cut through four inch thick polymer steel. His fingers also houses laser scalpels. He can be seen with a portable medical kit on him at times. His shell can resist heavy caliber fire.
In his Car Mode, he can reach up to speeds of 190 mph. His tires are reinforced with industrial strength rubber and filled with specialized gel to prevent blowouts.
Weakness: Unlike Clinker, he doesn’t quite follow the Hypocritic Oath to every letter. If there’s one part of the Oath he overlooked (or crossed out), it’s probably “Do no harm”. The fact he was a trained killer makes it hard to follow that, causing him some major distrust from his fellow medics (With the exception of Clinker). Due to his time as a Special Operative and his time in IDC, he’s a little cynical and has a deadpan and dark sense of humor . He also doesn’t have bedside manners and would gladly would punch a wounded Cybertronian just to get him or her to shut up. Due to his trauma, he doesn’t play very well with others. When Corpsepaint’s (And soon, Clinker’s) life is threatened, his sarcastic, borderline alcoholic medic persona takes a backseat and he becomes an enraged, bloodthirsty savage. Logic and reasoning no longer applies to him when he’s in that state.
Like all Machine-based Cybertronians, he has a strong vulnerabilities to Electromagnetic Pulses and he has no healing capabilities and must relay on repair jobs and CR chambers. He also can’t make sharp turns while speeding unless he wants to go into a violent collision.

Motto: "Hurry the slag up! I don't have a lot of minutes you know!"
Bio: In Earth Modern Times, A cellphone is an essential tool for everyday life. Humans uses it to communciates with others, take pictures, send text messages, access the internet, and even download and listen to music on it. In either hands, it can be used for good, for evil, or simply for entertainment. For Cybertronians, they make the ideals spies, communicators and sabeoturs. It's either that or they had too much time on their hands. Even though Cybertron converted into a Technorganic planet, a massive war relief efforts were going on, and all the opposing factions (Maximals, Predacons, Vehicons, Autobots, and Decepticons) all signed a peace treaty, shady dealings were still going on in the background. Both of the opposing factions that want to risk a breach of the treaty, both factions created (And in some cases, reintroduce) the small and stealthy Minibots. They were created to spy on other factions without being detected and give information about them. In some cases, they were built to sabotage whatever the other faction were doing or even assassinate their chosen target. Fliptop was one of them. The short but outspoken and booze loving Minibot was created by an rouge Maximal/Decepticons alliance to keep on tabs on the other factions and the upstart Feral Prime (Formerly Cheetor) led council. He was also created as a mobile broadband for hackers and computer experts when he's teamed up with them. He was one of the most requested spies in the field and was always in high demend. Fliptop was good at his job and business was very good. When the council revealed the existence of the Minibots, Fliptop found himself out of the job. Because of this, he resorted to doing odd jobs with the Cybertronian Crime family and various of the Police Departments and Special Forces.
He even resorted to drinking low grade stuff. He was down on his luck until he was approached by Starscream. Starscream gave him a job as his personal spy and communications between him and the second generation Decepticons. During that time, he started to shack up with Starfall, Starscream (God Starscream's daughter) and have a brief but violently unstable affair. Before he was about to head back into time with the Decepticons, he broke up with her. Starfall being a crazy chica she is, she had Fliptop thrown into the IDC for accusing him of sexually assault her and plot to commit high treason. Due to his small size and nearly being overlooked prevented him from being experimented on and avoid life threatening situations. He met up with highly talented computer hacker and Internet Warfare specialist C-Cord. Fliptop became her computer in exchange for booze and whatever she can smuggle. This business/codependent relationship turned into a friendship. He even formed a friendship with the other hackers and Elecronic speicalists. He even helped them out with the computers during the mass breakout. He reminded with C-Cord and the hackers since than. He joined the IDC for the reason he had nothing else better to do and not having much of a life to go back to. Despite the fact nobody notices him and can go back to his old life almost unnoticed, he chose to stay with them. That and he has a deep fear that Starfall is waiting for him on the outside too.
Abilities: Fliptop is capable of patching into most forms of cybertronian computers or even cybertronians themselves. This gives him some limited tactile telepathic abilities, able to read memories or coding from a device through mere contact. He was Because of his alt mode's capabilities, he has a inbuilt mirco high powered and high speed broadband that allows him to access the internet and interface with computers. He can also store data and save it for future use. His telepathic abilities allows him to communciates numerous of his teammates over long distances. He's also very stealthy and is blind to some radars and scanners.
Weakness: Fliptop's tiny size leaves him more open to injury then his fellow cybertronians. He's also not physically strong. There's just so much that a little Cybertronian can do. He's also very vulnerable to strong Electromagentic Pulses. He's also deathly afraid of Starfall for reasons he doesn't want to disclose. Hearing her name alone is guarenteed to give him a nevrous breakdown.
