Frank Welker The 5 The Key to Vector The Return of Optimus Prime (1st Time), Ed Aerialbots Sigma (Part 2) (Part 1) Gilbert (2nd Time) The Aerialbots were built from scrapped Autobot transports on Cybertron and given personalities by Vector Sigma. Together they form Superion, the most frequently appearing Autobot giant, who makes significant discoveries in several episodes. In his combined form, his thought capacity is reduced to two things: destroy the Decepticons, and protect the humans. Because of this, he sometimes has difficulty adapting to new situations. In all continuities he is depicted as being the chief rival and equal of Menasor. However, this makes more poetic than literal sense, as the real-life scale difference between their component vehicle parts would suggest a rather drastic disparity in actual stature.

Frank Bell 204 Helicopter Revenge of Bruticus The Rebirth (Part 3) Welker Blades Heroic, but can be a bit of a hot-head. The Return of The 5 Protectobots B.O.T. Optimus Prime (Part Chris Latta 1) The combined form of the five Protectobots, Defensor, exists specifically to safeguard human life. In many ways he feels about the human race the way a parent would their children and he would give his life away in an instant rather than let one human come to harm. Defensor is emotionally attached to humans on a level that sometimes Defensor worries his fellow Autobots. He identifies with them the same way a sheep dog would with its flock or a puppy with its human owners. As far as Defensor is concerned the humans are his "kind". Sadly the titanic robot giant's attempts at personal interaction and friendly exchanges with humans tend to fail. We humans tend to be more wary and frightened of his alien nature and great size than Defensor can understand. Despite this, Defensor is fairly well adjusted mentally compared to almost every other Generation 1 gestalt. The origin of the Protectobots who form this giant is not given in the cartoon.

A giant formed by Technobots who were built by Grimlock who was made super-intelligent in an accident. Grimlock transferred his intelligence into Computron, to fight the evil Terricons. Typically, the combiner process dulls the wits of the individual Transformers, however, such is not the case for Computron. The Technobots managed to remedy that problem, but in the process, severely lagged Computron's reaction time. Before coming to any decision, Computron must analyze the opinions of every individual Technobot, resulting in his falling behind in battle. In the end, he always makes the correct choice.

However, another generic Decepticon that looked similar to Shockwave was illustrated (and colored white) in the alternate opening titles of "Five Faces of Darkness". 1975 F-15 More Than Turned into Cyclonus Frank Reformed Eagle Meets the or Sweep in The Welker Eye (Part 1) Transformers: The
Movie. Was seen in Starscream's coronation due to an animation error. Not very intelligent but is an outstanding warrior and is considered the sneakiest of the Decepticons. Has a cruel sense of humor. Has the ability to instantly teleport up to 2.5 miles. Carries heat-seeking missiles and variable caliber machine guns. Despite his relative lack of intelligence, he is one of Megatron's most favored soldiers. Killed by Galvatron in More Than The Transformers: The 1975 F-15 Meets the Movie. Later revivied Chris Latta Alive Eagle Eye (Part 1) by Unicron in Ghost in the Machine Starscream is Megatron's air commander and second-in-command, but is eager to usurp him as leader of the Decepticons. His scheming has at times cost the Starscream Decepticons decisive advantages. Among his arsenal are cluster bombs and a paralyzing null ray. Galvatron killed him in "The Transformers: The Movie". His ghost later appeared in "Starscream's Ghost" and "Ghost in the Machine". Yet in "Ghost in the Machine", Unicron's power revived Starscream and tumbled out of Unicron's head as the other Decepticons seeing this wonder if ghosts actually tumble. Starscream wasn't seen in later episodes after that. Made an appearance in Beast Wars series as his G1 self. Turned into Scourge in The Transformers: The Movie. More Than 1975 F-15 John Meets the Reformed Eagle Stephenson Was seen in Eye (Part 1) Starscream's coronation due to an animation error. Thundercracker Has doubts about the Decepticon cause, that was rarely shown in the series. He is good friends with Skywarp. Can create deafening sonic booms that have only been represented in the series by Megatron in Heavy Metal War, and the emission of irritatingly loud noise which Starscream complained about at the conclusion of Fire on the Mountain. He fears retribution from Megatron and has a passionate hatred and occasional rivalry with Starscream. His other notable weapons are his incendiary guns and cruise missiles. Reflector More Than 1981 Kodak Transformers:The Meets the Chris Latta Unknown Camera Movie Eye (Part 1) Reflector is the only Transformer whose robot mode consists of three robots, Viewfinder, Spectro and Spyglass, which merge to form one camera. The three robots almost always act and speak in unison with each other. Can create blinding flares that last for 15 seconds. It is rumored Reflector's death was originally planned to be in Transformers: The Movie but never made the final
cut.
Insecticons
Turned into a Sweep in A Plague of Transformers: The Movie. Last Hal Stag beetle Reformed Insecticons seen in Five Faces of Darkness Rayle (Part 5) (as an animation error). Shrapnel Leader of the Insecticons. Repeats the last word of nearly every sentence he speaks. Able to harvest electricity of storm clouds and reproject them as energy blasts, as well as clone himself and the other Insecticons as seen in his introductory episode. Turned into Cyclonus or Sweep Japanese A Plague of in Transformers: The Movie. Michael rhinoceros Reformed Insecticons Last seen in Thief in the Night Bell beetle due to animation error. Bombshell Possibly the most intelligent of the Insecticons; serves as Decepticon mechanic on one occasion. Can control other Transformers by implanting cerebro-shells in their heads. He often shares Shrapnel's role as leader in some episodes. Unlike most of the Insecticons, he has a close relationship with Megatron. Turned into a Sweep in The Transformers: The Movie. Last A Plague of Clive Grasshopper seen in Five Faces of Darkness Reformed Insecticons Revill (Part 5) due to an animation Kickback error. Not significantly different from the other Insecticons, except for his strong back kick (hence the name), which was used several times in his introductory episode. Occasionally mispronounces words. An expert at black mailing others.

Can detect metallic objects through rock. 1975 Cement Truck Heavy Metal War The Rebirth (Part 1) Frank Welker Mixes chemicals to produce spray weapons. Oversaw the construction of Trypticon. The Burden Hardest to Arthur The 6 Constructicons Heavy Metal War Bear Burghardt Devastator is a combination of the six Constructicons, Hook, Scrapper, Mixmaster, Long Haul, Scavenger, and Bonecrusher. Devastator is an immensely powerful warrior, and in that sense the combination of the Constructicons into a merged being is a huge success. Mentally, on the other hand, he's very much less than the sum of his parts. Devastator's primitive psyche is limited to only the thoughts and actions on which all his components can agree, which results in raging bouts of destructive fury. The Constructicons were originally master designers and builders on Cybertron before the war between Autobots and Decepticons. They were good friends with Omega Supreme and had built some of the most magnificent cities on Cyberton. Megatron had captured and reprogrammed them to become Decepticons, they then began destroying the cities they once built. Omega Supreme captured them and tried to re-program them but learned too late that the programming could not be reversed. Pretending to be good again, the Constructicons used their new mode, Devastator, to attack Omega Supreme and tried to have him reprogrammed to be a Decipticon as well. Omega Supreme was not fully reprogrammed, but attained an extremely serious and somewhat mean demeanor, and he became determined to stop the Constructicons at all costs. He hunted them across the universe until he found that they once again rejoined their master Megatron on Earth and he joined the Autobots there to help finish the Constructicons once and for all.

The Key to Vector The Ultimate Regis Cordic, Roger The 5 Stunticons Sigma (Part 2) Weapon C. Carmel Destructive brute-force giant formed by the Stunticons, who were built on Earth by Megatron from stolen cars and given personalities by Vector Sigma. Menasor was meant to be the ultimate Decepticon weapon, and perhaps he would have been if not for the fatal flaw in his design. His mind was designed to merge the psyches of the five Stunticons who compose his form. Unfortunately, the great depth of loathing the four limb components feel towards Motormaster, to say nothing of the fact that all five of them are psychotic as individuals anyway, has created a primal psychological rift and left Menasor an unpredictable mass of conflicting, chaotic impulses. Extremely powerful, highly mentally unstable, and prone to violent tantrums where he lashes out at anything in range, Menasor is not a weapon to point and fire, but a raging monster to turn loose on the battlefield and then get as far away from as possible.
Combaticons

The Return of The 5 Starscream's Brigade Optimus Prime (Part Roger C. Carmel Combaticons 1) The Combaticons were created when the exiled Starscream stole the personality components of renegade Decepticons and installed them in discarded military hardware. Together they form the powerful but dimwitted giant Bruticus. A terrifying sight on the battlefield, Bruticus is among the strongest of all Transformers. He can pulverize a suspension bridge with one 14,000 psi punch. He can lift up to 500,000 pounds. His armor is impervious to most artillery and radiation.

Galvatron After Megatron was left for dead by the other Decepticons (led by Starscream), Unicron gave him a new body and called him Galvatron. Galvatron was forced to act as Unicron's slave until Rodimus Prime and the remaining Autobots destroyed Unicron in "The Transformers: The Movie". Since the Movie, Galvatron suffers from bouts of irrationality and is often hostile to his subordinates. Roger C. Carmel, Jack Angel ("The Cybertronian Transformers: The Rebirth (Part 3) Return of Optimus Alive Jet The Movie Prime" and "The Rebirth") Cyclonus Formed by Unicron from the remains of either Bombshell or Skywarp to help Galvatron destroy the Matrix of Leadership.

Cybertronian Transformers: The Rebirth (Part 3) Stanley Jones Alive Hovercraft The Movie Formed by Unicron from the remains of Thundercracker to help Galvatron destroy the Scourge Matrix of Leadership. Acts as Galvatron's third-in-command. A barely competent doubter but secretly power-hungry and easily seduced. He leads an army of clones called the Sweeps. Becomes a Targetmaster whose weapon is formed by Fracas (voiced by Neil Ross). Sweeps Cybertronian Transformers: The Return of Optimus Multiple actors. Alive Hovercraft The Movie Prime Part 2 Transformers: Laser Cannon The Movie

(It is still unclear who became Cyclonus since Bombshell and Skywarp both became him, but we never see one of them again.) Sweeps are identical to their leader Scourge. They don't talk much, but when they do, the voices are different. They are offten pushed around and shot at by Galvatron.

The Return of Eagle Five Faces of Darkness (Part 5) Optimus Prime (Part Laurie Faso 2) Predacon scout who often finds himself in trouble. The Return of The 5 Five Faces of Darkness (Part 5) Optimus Prime (Part Bud Davis Predacons 2) Predaking is the ferocious fusion of all five of the Predacons: Divebomb, Headstrong, Rampage, Tantrum, and team leader Razorclaw. Predaking is highly unusual, perhaps even unique, among combiners by the successful fusion of each of his component elements' physical abilities and personalities. Most others of his kind are rendered stupid, suggestible, or borderline insane by the merging of minds, but the five Predacons are united by their shared love of the hunt, and produce a single complete persona. Between his physical prowess, unexpected mental acuity, and animalistic, almost instinct-fast hunting actions, Predaking is one of the most dangerous and intimidating weapons ever added to the Decepticon ranks. As a weapon he is without equal; as a warrior he is without restraint. He can lift one million tons without straining a circuit. When Predaking is on your trail, all hope is lost. The Predacons who form his body are presented first as agents of the Quintessons before fighting under Galvatron's command. Their origin is unknown.

He's not truly a warriorhe's an animal, the destructive rages of the Terrorcons that compose him personified. His commanders can't give him orders simplistic enough for him to understand, so they just point him in the direction of objects that need to be smashed, and turn him loose. The only thing that distinguishes him from a wild beast is the enjoyment he derives from his terrible rampages. The Terrorcons who form him are working for the Quintessons in one episode but are otherwise Decepticon agents.

She told Rodimus Prime and he got every Autobot to surround Morgan's laboratory, but this was all a trap and the virus spread on Ultra Magnus and the Aerialbots, which then spread to all Autobots, Decepticons and Humans. After Optimus was brought back to life, Jessica went with him, Sky Lynx, Kup, Blurr, Goldbug and Blaster to Charr to find Galvatron and get the metal she, her father and Swafford were working on so that Optimus can be covered with it and retrieve the Matrix of Leadership from within Rodimus.

The latter seems more likely, given that as of the mid-1980s he was known to be operating out of a ship as an international arms dealer. He presumably shops for clothes with Abdul Fakkadi. Five Faces of Thief in the Night, only Philip L. Clarke Darkness (Part 1) appearance Abdul Fakkadi (also spelled Faghadi) is the self-professed Supreme Military Commander, President-for-Life, and King of Kings of the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya. One gets the feeling that if you were to Abdul Fakkadi inform him that, by definition, a republic cannot have a king (much less a "King of Kings"), his likely response would be to stare blankly for a long moment, and then order your immediate beheading. None too bright and none too stable, Fakkadi is concerned primarily with the accumulation of wealth and keeping "fanatics" and "imperialists" away from his homeland's shores. He is not averse to making deals with Decepticons to help further these goals. Mr. Robbins B.O.T B.O.T Dan Gilvezan Mr. Robbins is a science teacher at Benjamin Franklin Pierce High School.

Spoiled rotten, Astoria is mostly a figurehead with little control over the company's goings-on. Instead, she spends most of her time throwing herself lavish parties and wondering why nobody wants to be her friend. She has the bizarre ability to jinx any mechanical device just by coming into contact with it, which is just one more reason why she keeps away from her father's company and its equipment. Her father gave her a necklace with a top secret formula and requested she never take the necklace off. Astoria also has a thing for Powerglide, she probably spends her time with the Hilton sisters.

Destroyed by Rodimus Prime and the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, later partially reactivated by Scourge and Starscream's ghost. Call of the Call of the Planet Neil Ross Primitives Primitives Tornedron was the successor to Unicron, created by Unicron's creator Primacron. Unlike Unicron, Tornedron was an energy-based lifeform, controlled by Primacron's remote control. It consumed other energies, leaving stars dead and planets inert; its final purpose was to leave the entire universe a blank slate for Primacron to do with as he pleased. Unfortunately for Primacron, while Tornedron succeeded in draining most of the universe's energy, it also became just as rebellious as his predecessor. However, Grimlock defeated it before the creature could consume its creator; he threw it into reverse, returning all the energy it stole to its original locations and dispersing the entity. Enter the Nightbird, None Enter the Nightbird No Voice only appearance Nightbird is a human construct with a single form and thus not actually a Transformer herself. Created by Dr. Fujiyama, she was a non-transforming ninja robot. She was stolen by the Decepticons and reprogrammed to infiltrate the Ark and steal the World Energy Source from Teletran I. She would subsequently be defeated and returned to her creator by the Autobots, and didn't appear for the remainder of the animated series. In comics associated with the Botcon storyline, however, an army of Nightbird drones would later battle several Autobots, eventually perishing when Daniel Witwicky set off a powerful explosive that destroyed not only the drones but also himself and the Autobot Wheelie. None Atlantis, Arise! Atlantis, Arise!, Wally Burr King Nergill rules Sub-Atlantica, a hidden kingdom of water-breathing fishmen. Their relationship to humanity proper is uncertain.

Like all Junkions, she can be blasted to pieces without taking any noticeable permanent damage, and is capable of repairing herself within seconds. Mineral monster Chaos Chaos None Chaos is a large alien monster, native to the planet Dread. Its skin is composed of an unbelievably destructive mineral known as death crystals. Apparently, death crystals are also the only thing that can hurt it. The Transformers: Bat Monster Chaos None The Movie Shrikebats are large, purple, flying, vaguely reptilian creatures. Found on Dromedon and Dread, a group of them is referred to as a "wreck" of shrikebats, or, more commonly "aiiiiiieee get them off get them off my eyes oh dear gooaaaarrrrrghkklgkglllll". They're extremely vicious creatures. Thankfully, they don't like it when you invert polarities, which drives them off. Call of the Call of the Monkey Hal Rayle Primitives Primitives Primacron is an absolutely ancient scientist. He's supposedly hyper-intelligent with an infinity of intricate plans nested within plans, but he sometimes over-thinks things to the point of coming off as rather dim, his major claim to fame is being responsible for building Unicron at the dawn of the galaxy. Thanks for nothing. Call of the Call of the Gregg Berger Primitives Primitives The Oracle was once the assistant of Primacron, an ageless creature of magnificent intellect.

City-bots components
Name First appearance Last appearance Voiced by Five Faces of The Ultimate Cybertronic six-wheel car Dan Gilvezan Darkness (Part 5) Weapon Scamper is part of the composite whole that is the Autobot city, Metroplex. Although autonomous in his own right, with an impulsive and sociable personality, Scamper is an extension of Metroplex, and commonly patrols the peripheries of the giant Autobot's city form in his sports car mode alongside Slammer. Maurice None Thief in the Night Thief in the Night LaMarche The name Six-Gun isn't just metaphoric; this Autobot soldier is literally a walking, talking mass of weaponry. Six-Gun is one of Metroplex's autonomous troops, and is composed of six of the city-bot's guns. Along with Scamper and Slammer, he helps patrol and defend Metroplex's interior and periphery. Like his partners, he is mentally linked to Metroplex, and shares a similar personality. Perhaps befitting a living artillery battery, Six-Gun tends to be a bit more blustery and belligerent than his teammates. Nothing but only a The Ultimate Cybertronic tank in robot Thief in the Night Chris Latta Weapon mode Slammer, a drone controlled by Metroplex, does not do much. He's usually seen in the form of Metroplex's left rear tower, and is rarely seen in tank form. Call of the Cybertronic race car Call of the Primitives No Voice Primitives Full-Tilt is a Decepticon drone from the Generation 1 continuity family. Cybertronic tank Marvel comics Marvel Comics No Voice Brunt is a tank that splits into several towers of Trypticon's city mode (plus a couple of leftover pieces). In battle station mode, Trypticon uses Brunt's turret as his main cannon. Though the towers and/or cannon have been seen in each of the continuities Trypticon has appeared in, the tank mode is a much rarer sight. Only two universes acknowledge Brunt's separate existence, and even then just as a mindless drone. Cybertronic car Marvel comics Marvel Comics No Voice A lumbering, powerful Transformer like Trypticon has many important things to attend to (like destruction). When he needs some small task done, he calls on Wipe-Out to do it.

Mini-Cassettes
Cassette warriors (or "Mini-Cassettes", or simply "Cassettes") are tiny transformers; they are no taller than the humans. Their alternate mode is that of a microcassette. According to "The Transformers"' version, in the days of Megatron, Decepticons developed the art of espionage using cassette technology. Their first cassette, Laserbeak, could fly undetected into any Autobot stronghold, record information and then return to base. Then the Decepticons decided to increase their spying abilities with Ratbat. As a bat, Ratbat can hide in crevices that Laserbeak can't reach, and is especially effective in tunnels, caves or in the darkness of space. Ratbat records from the Autobots' most carefully guarded secrets. The Autobots had no choice but to strike back with these Decepticon techniques of stealth, building their own force of cassette Transformers, with Blaster as their guardian. They constructed Ramhorn, the rhino, who can use animalistic force if cornered, and Steeljaw, the lion, who can crawl through the foliage of any alien world, to sneak up on Decepticons. They also bolstered their cassette force with Rewind and Eject, who can transform to robot mode and use more conventional fighting force techniques. The alternate version of the Cassette warriors' origin is stated in the animated series. According to this version, they (or, at any rate, the beast-moded ones) were once created by the divine inventor Primacron.

When on Cybertron, his main speciality had been to interrogate the Autobot prisoners, but on the Earth he became the best Decepticon spy. As a bird, Laserbeak is usually sent on reconnaissance missions, but he is worthless as a warrior, because of his cowardice. Nonetheless, Laserbeak is one of Megatron's pets; one can often see him sitting on Megatron's hand or shoulder. More Than Five Faces of Cassette Tape Meets the Eye Frank Welker Alive Darkness (Part 3) (Part 1) Rumble is a sort of a street-thug robot. His arms become piledrivers which he can use to cause earthquakes, and also to create fissures. Frank Welker More Than Panther/Cassette Call of the (animal noises Meets the Eye Alive Tape Primitives only, with one (Part 1) exception) Ravage is one of the Transformers whose robot mode is a beast. Also, he is one of the most hidden and treacherous Decepticons, acting in the darkness only. As a panther, he is able to move with more stealth than other Decepticons. He is Soundwave's pet. The Transformers: The Movie Countdown to Cassette Tape (omitting one Frank Welker Alive Extinction possible animation error) Shares his appearance, pile-driver ability, and street-thug personality with Rumble.

Headmasters
Name Alternate mode First appearance Last appearance Voiced by None The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Jack Angel For a man whose work has had such a big effect on the lives of so many Nebulans and Transformers, very few people really know the distant and remote Arcana. Not even Brainstorm, who shares his psyche, can claim to truly fathom the workings of his partner's mind. But then, Arcana seems to cultivate an extremely anti-social persona unintentionally, training first as a medical doctor, only to grow bored and focus on long-forgotten and repudiated scientific lore of his planet, earning the ire of medical colleagues. Yet it was this combination of knowledge and skill, along with the combined input of his future partner, that allowed the creation of the Binary Bonding process. None The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 2) Charlie Alder Stylor is gorgeous. Always impeccably dressed and groomed and always in the latest style. He spends most of his time primping and polishing either Chromedome or himself, and is renowned on Nebulos for his exquisite taste and dashing good looks. Though he loves the ladies, he surprisingly doesn't have the greatest luck there, since few want to spend much time with a man who's so focused on being prettier than they are. It is suspected that Stylor volunteered for the Headmaster process simply because it was trendy at the time, his Autobot partner Chromedome, being an inveterate academic and computer nerd, is something of a frustration to Stylor, but he does his best to bring out the big guy's cooler, more social side (which he figures MUST be in there somewhere). Chromedome in return tries to get Stylor to be a little less superficial. None The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Charlie Alder Duros was born to be a soldier on a world without war. He served for years as the head of security for the Nebulan Ruling Council and spent most of that time horribly bored and unsatisfied.

Duros... and also the worst, in Hardhead he has found a kindred spirit, and the two have bonded over their shared interest in combat and warfare to become one of the closest pairings among all the Headmasters. The dependable, resourceful, and stoic Duros is a great addition to the Autobot army, but his eager desire for action and love of combat have made him an outsider among the naturally peaceful Nebulans and has led him to be shunned even by his family and, most painfully, his now estranged wife. Duros shuts the pain that his failed personal life causes him away and focuses instead on being the soldier he always felt destined to be. None The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Michael Bell The all-American boy of the Nebulan Headmasters, Gort rose up from a lowly position as stable boy to courageous defender of his planet. The idealistic teenager never has an unkind word for anybody and serves as a shining example of the best the Nebulan Headmasters have to offer, it's a pity, then, that Gort was partnered with his polar opposite, the elitist snob Highbrow, who takes considerable offense to being binary bonded with what he sees as a mere commoner. Their pairing is among the worst of the Autobot Headmasters, often detracting, not adding, to Highbrow's effectiveness in combat as he refuses to listen to Gort's suggestions except in all but the most life-threatening situations. None The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 2) Miilt Jamin A ruthless businessman and industrialist, Grax was willing to do whatever it took to solidify his place at the top of Nebulan business world. Not that he needed much convincing to undergo the binary bonding process to combine with Skullcruncher in order to eliminate his business rivals, the Decepticon methods of utterly and cruelly absorbing all foes were just more literally bloody versions of Grax's own. Skullcruncher didn't see the similarity though, Nebulan corporate types were barely even a snack... Grax adds considerably to the somewhat slow mind of Skullcruncher, which admittedly isn't hard, but still finds most of his suggestions ignored unless they involve eating the corpses of your enemies or inventive noises to make when grinding your teeth. None The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 2) Charlie Alder Vorath was the former Minister of Science of the planet Nebulos. A Zarak loyalist, Vorath was expelled from his office when Galen uncovered his involvement in illegal medical experiments on live subjects. Seeking revenge, Vorath gained the chance to do so and continue his experiments with the arrival of Transformers and the creation of the Headmasters, when he agreed to binary bond to Mindwipe. None The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 3) Neil Ross On Nebulos, Monzo was a professional hyperwrestler before he became a nightclub owner. He's a brutal fellow who doesn't appreciate the fine art of tactics or strategy. He especially hates poetry, which puts him at odds with his Headmaster partner, Weirdwolf. However, they both find common ground in wanting to beat stuff up. None The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 2) Tony St. James The nervous and insecure Spasma was the son of a despised noble family on Nebulos, bullied and picked on his entire life while being crushed under the weight of a bankrupt family legacy. The arrival of the Transformers on his planet and the creation of the Headmasters gave him the prospect of power to escape his feeling of
inadequacy, or so he thought... outwardly, Spasma had his wish fulfilled when he was binary bonded to Apeface, literally becoming the kind of bully who had previously tormented him. But all too frequently, the pressure of combat will wear away at Spasma, until Apeface's actions trigger a torturous flashback from the Nebulan's past, reducing him to a whimpering, crying wreck. None The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 2) Chris Latta Krunk is Zarak's nasty, brutish bodyguard. He takes orders from Zarak without Krunk question, no matter how illegal or rotten they are, as Snapdragon's Headmaster, he enhances the Decepticon's thuggish personality rather nicely. Two peas in a pod, really. The Transformers: The None The Rebirth (Part 3) David Mendenhall Movie Daniel Witwicky is the human son of Spike and Carly Witwicky. He is approximately 12 years of age in 2005, and was presumably born sometime between Daniel 1990 and 1993. He is the grandson of Sparkplug Witwicky. Daniel often gets into Witiwicky trouble, which requires either his father or the Autobots to save him. He is very good friends with the Autobots, particularly Wheelie, Grimlock, and Hot Rod, but the one he's closest to is Arcee, who views him as a surrogate son. Daniel is (sometimes) the Headmaster partner to Arcee.
Targetmasters
Alternate mode First appearance Last appearance Voiced by electro-laser cannon The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Rob Paulsen One of the younger Nebulans to binary bond to a Transformer, Haywire is very much of the "act first, think later"-impulsive-teenage mold. In that respect, the relationship between Haywire and his partner Blurr is one where they get on like a Haywire house on fire, but also a classic example of the lack of planning in the early stages of Targetmasters bonding for how effective a combat team they would make. Transforming into an electro-laser cannon, Haywire is just as hyperactive as his partner in combat, often more concerned with how often he fires than where he's aiming or how effective his shots are. Pistol The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Frank Welker Pinpointer Pinpointer is a Nebulan of few words. He's binary bonded to Crosshairs. Firebolt electrostatic Discharge The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Richard Gautier rifle Firebolt was once a quiet scholar on the pacifistic planet of Nebulos, where he was renowned as one of its top atomic physicists. Beneath his meek and reserved exterior, however, young Firebolt yearned for a life of action and excitement. His dreams of adventure might never have come true, if not for the intervention of the Decepticons. When the call went out for Nebulans who would be willing to take up arms in defense of their planet, Firebolt was amongst the first to volunteer. Undergoing the extensive and painful procedure known as Binary bonding, Firebolt was given a special suit of black and grey armour and granted the power to transform himself into a powerful double-barreled weapon called an "electrostatic Name
discharge rifle", although eager for the chance to make a difference and have some fun, Firebolt soon found that his own exuberance paled in comparison to his Targetmaster partner: a young Autobot named Hot Rod. Firebolt's opinion of this situation is what could be described as "cautiously optimistic" - he is excited by all the action and adventure of being a Targetmaster, but he is also very nervous at some of the risks that Hot Rod insists on taking at times. musket laser rifle The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Johnny Haymer One of the older Nebulans to join the Autobots, Recoil was a former All-World Prismaball champion on his home planet, until age finally caught up with him. While helping to keep Nebulos safe is part of why he agreed to undergo binary bonding to Recoil become a Targetmaster, a large part was to prove to himself as much as to others that he still had what it takes. Transforming into a version of Kup's original old-style musket laser, Recoil has found a good match with the crusty Autobot, both seeking the respect they feel their age and experience deserves. sonic blaster The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 3) Steve Bulen Peacemaker is an upbeat, almost contagiously positive Nebulan police officer. He keeps trying to cheer up his Autobot partner Pointblank to little result. Pointblank doesn't feel the Autobots should have involved the Nebulans in the war to begin Peacemaker with, and so disapproves of his partner and his advice on principle. Those who know him, though, say that Peacemaker has actually made progress in improving the dour Autobot's world view. Not a lot of progress, mind you... Thankfully Peacemaker knows how to be patient, loves a challenge, and is firm in his belief that optimism leads to success. double cannon The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 3) Danny Mann Spoilsport has a rather appropriate moniker, given that he spoils the fun of his partner Sureshot by being an equally good marksman. In a contest between an Spoilsport intelligent gun and an intelligent gunner, the gun gets a majority vote. His partner resents his interference, and in his turn, the Nebulan resents Sureshot for his lack of appreciation. It can't help that Sureshot is a jerk, of course, and presumably he never calls. beam gun The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 3) Peter Cullen Back on Nebulos, Nightstick was a master criminal. For some reason, he gave that Nightstick up to undergo binary-bonding to Cyclonus. The loyal and honorable Decepticon warrior often finds himself at odds with the very dishonorable Nightstick and generally considers him an irritating pest. beam gun The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 2) Milt Jamin Aimless should have been called "Useless". This Nebulan's success rate when he Aimless tries to hit a target is unknown, because that would require him to, you know, actually try. Together with his Targetmaster partner Misfire, he's a danger to himself and others. Mostly others. Incendiary cannon The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 2) Neil Ross Fracas's new Targetmaster body allows him to transform into an incendiary cannon Fracas for his new Decepticon partner Scourgefitting, since Fracas is himself a hotrunning, volatile scrapper who explodes into violent rages. Caliburst lange barrel gun The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 2) Johnny Haymer
Blowpipe
Like his binary bonded partner Slugslinger, Caliburst is merely putting on an act and playing the role of the cold and fearless Decepticon warrior he outwardly projects; it's just that he's generally more adept at keeping the mask up because of his former life as an actor. While not a good actor, more the kind to be found in the freezer section next to the other pork products, Caliburst does know the importance of staying in character. Given that he joined the Transformer conflict for the money because there was no one left on Nebulos that could stomach appreciate his "talent", he has an incentive to not screw up, Slugslinger treats his partner fairly well, mostly due to the direct link between the condition of the Decepticon's backbone infrastructure in combat and the condition of his weaponry. John Moschitta, Compression cannon The Rebirth (Part 2) The Rebirth (Part 3) Jr. The conniving brother-in-law of Lord Zarak, Blowpipe managed the political campaign that brought him and kept him in power. While a smooth political operator with endless connections, Blowpipe lacks the physical presence and style of a leader, causing him to resent his brother-in-law for taking all the glory when he did all the "real" work, treating combat like he would a political campaign, Blowpipe plots and plans things in advance, leaving nothing to chance, which puts him at odds with his binary bonded partner Triggerhappy, whose idea of combat tactics is to wave his gun around randomly as fast as he can and shoot really, really fast.
