Languages spoken: English is a primary one but he understands most other Earth languages and some other alien ones
Orientation/Sexual Preference: ((Quick Note: While you see male/ female fame types in the various tv shows/movies, I've come across some thoughts that Cybertronians have no defined genders like humans but could be defined as a 'mech' or a 'femme' (or 'tche' which it like an equal mix of male and female. Cred to Sinead Rivka, author of Transformers: Things We Don't Tell Humans, it's a great read. Highly recommend) depending on the individual's Spark.))
Religion: Follower of Primus
Occupation (before the War): He had no defined job, moving from City-State to City-State in search of a decent pay taught him all sorts of skills that many mecha don't have. After falling on hard times he became a Gladiator
Are They Dead: Nope
If Yes, How'd They Die: ^^^
Date of Death: ^^^
Place of Death: ^^^
~MEDICAL INFO~Mental Disorder: (Cybertronian version of) Acute Stress Disorder
Habits: Getting roped into helping Soundout with her random art-tags aboard The Ark (he can't say no, he's tried. And it's not like he's even helping her do the tags, she just likes to bounce ideas off of his CPU).
Powers/Special Abilities: none, just your average mech. No wait, he has a great "Are you fucking kidding me?" face. Trust me, it's amazing.

~PERSONALITY~Overall: Observant, closed-off, helpful, courageous, loyal, ferocious in battle, calm and gentle off the battle field, sneaky, clever, intelligent, practical, rational, he opens up more to bots that he feels particularly close to and trusts absolutely.
Likes: Techgear, Soundout, the Autobots (in general), sparing, his siblings (when they aren't making complete afts of themselves)
Dislikes: Skids and Mudflap aka the Idiot Twins, High Grade
Hobbies: Making trinkets out of scrap that he finds on his travels
Most Prized Possession: None at first glance, but bots quickly found that the powdery baby blue armor has some sort of significance to it.
Flaws: He can't really say "no" to anyone, if it's extreme then, yeah, he'll tell them to "shove it up your aftburner" but most of the time he's roped into a lot of things because of this inability.
Pet Peeve: When bots ask him to do/help them with something ridiculous and/or dangerous
Worst Way To Die: How about dying? You know, in general...
Best Way To Die: Protecting his charges, even if one (Soundout) doesn't think she needs protecting and the other (Techgear) who looks like the slag could get kicked out of him at any given time...
Worst Way To Kill: Prolonging their agony, he just finds it cruel and unnecessary. ((Side Note: He's been doing this for so long that it's become automatic for him... Which scares him more than anything))
Best Way To Kill (how they kill): Quickly, so his opponent/enemy feels no more pain then necessary
Targets To Killing: Autobot (when he was a Decepticon), Decepticons now that he's an Autobot
Other:
Motto(s): (Decepticon) You don't understand! None of you Autobots understand! The only way for equality to be achieved is through the destruction of the Old Order and the instillation of a New one! Only then can peace and prosperity be obtained. (Autobot) 'Til All Are One/ I believe in what the originally stood for: To bring about change and return to the ways of our ancestors, where freedom is the right of all sentient beings

~FAMILY~

Name: Starfall (Creator-Caretaker)
Age: ((Unknowkn)) (Deceased)
Gender: Tche
Frame Origin: Polyhex
Frame Color: White and light blue

Affiliation: None
Hometown: Polyhex
Residence: Polyhex/ Iacon/ Kaon
Extra: Starfall was a very sick. Whenever he came across some credits they always went into keeping his children fueled, thus letting his own frame fall into disrepair.
Starfall offlined long before the War started, leaving Magnotron and the last seven Young-Sparks he ever raised behind.
Starfall also ran an orphanage for abandoned Sparklings and Younglings, raising them as his own into their Adult frames if they were never adopted.
In total, Starfall housed nearly 250 Sparklings and Younglings, most of whom were adopted. The rest he raised by himself, sometimes having up to 20 charges at once.

Optic Color: Red
_ View On Him/Her: ((Unknowkn))
Affiliation: None?
Hometown: ((Unknowkn))
Residence: ((Unknowkn))
Extra: No bot knows what happened to Starfall's mate. He just... Up and left one cycle and never came back
((All of the bots listed below are around the same age and are mecha that grew up with Magnotron, making them more of a family unit than the older mecha before them))Name: Thruster
Age: ((Unknown)) (Living)
Gender: Mech
Frame Origin: Kaon
Frame Color: Black with the red accents of an Enforcer

Affiliation: Autobot/ Wreckers/ The Starfall
Hometown: Kaon
Residence: Kaon/ Iacon/ The Starfall
Extra: Once the War went into full swing Thruster and several other of his siblings pitched in and got The Starfall, they now roam the galaxy, hunting down rouge Decepticons and make occasional pit-stops at Earth. Thruster became the Captain of The Starfall and his one of the five warriors on The Starfall.
Thruster is a few decavorn older than Magnotron
Name: Sunspark
Age: ((Unknown)) (Living)
Gender: Femme
Frame Origin: Polyhex
Frame Color: Bright gold with dark blue-black accents
Optic Color: Cerulian
_ View On Him/Her: Sunspark was furious that Magnotron would side with the Decepticons. She believed that he was making a foolish mistake and told him to get out while he still had a chance. After she heard that he switched sides she was overjoyed! But was upset that Magnotron had changed so much from when they were Younglings to the mech he was now.
Affiliation: Autobots/ Wreckers/ The Starfall
Hometown: Kaon
Residence: Kaon/ Iacon/ The Starfall
Extra: Sunspark is The Starfall's medic and second in command under Thruster.
She is also the same age as Magnotron
Name: Wizzbang "Wizzard"
Age: ((Unknown)) (Living)
Gender: Mech
Frame Origin: Ployhex, he's a mini bot
Frame Color: Bright orange with gold/yellow accents
Optic Color: vivid green
_ View On Him/Her: Unlike his sister, Wizzbang respected Magnotron's wishes, as he saw the worst of the worst in Kaon's underbelly. He knew that there had to be change but didn't believe that violence was the answer.
Affiliation: Autobots/ Wreckers/ The Starfall
Hometown: Polyhex/ Kaon
Residence: Polyhex/ Kaon/ Vos / Praxus/ Iacon/ The Starfall
Extra: Wizzbang is the resident "grease monkey" and demolition's expert on The Starfall, if you need something built, comm. Wizz and he'll hook you up.
Wizzbang is actually the oldest out of the rag-tag crew, he just prefers to act younger (translation: He's a bit of a brat)
Name: Ramjet
Age: ((Unknown)) (Living)
Gender: Tche
Frame Origin: Vos
Frame Color: Dark blue with silver and black accents
Optic Color: Electric blue
_ View On Him/Her: He felt deeply betrayed by Magnotron for picking the Decepticons over his family, but while logically he saw why 'Tron joined the Decepticons, he couldn't help but feel uneasy that there was something terribly wrong with the opposing faction. So he remained angry for quite some time, confused as to why his brother couldn't see what the rest of his siblings seemed to be able to…
Affiliation: Autobots/ Wreckers/ The Starfall
Hometown: Vos
Residence: Vos / Kaon/ Iacon/ Vos/ Iacon/ The Starfall
Extra: Ramjet lived on the streets well into his Youngling years, he was rescued by chance from a beating by Thruster, Magnotron and Starfall after another Sparkling's adoption.
You wouldn't know it by looking at him but Ramjet is the youngest, because of this he likes to act older than he truly is in order to gain the same respect his other siblings seem to get.
Ramjet, Magnotron and Riot are three of the five that act as The Starfall's shock troopers. They also provide aerial support.
Name: Trickshot "Zero"
Age: ((Unknown)) (Living)
Gender: Mech
Frame Origin: Iaconian
Frame Color: Dark red with black and gold accents
Optic Color: Red
_ View On Him/Her: Trickshot didn't really care what kind of trouble 'Tron got himself into, so long as he could get himself out. If he couldn't well… Bots soon figured out why everyone called him "Zero".
Affiliation: Autobots/ Wreckers/ The Starfall
Hometown: Kaon
Residence: Kaon /Iacon / The Starfall
Extra: Trickshot isn't a sniper, not all the time anyways, he doesn't have that kind of patents nor does he really care. He prefers to be where the action is, using the chaos of war to fight his battles.
There's a reason bots call him "Zero": None of his targets have ever escaped.
He's one of five of The Starfall's warriors.
Name: Knockback
Age: ((Unknown)) (Living)
Gender: Tche
Frame Origin: Iacon
Frame Color: Silver with white accents
Optic Color: White-blue
_ View On Him/Her: He's actually quite fond of Magnotron and the two are very close. Knockback knew when 'Tron joined the Decepticons that one day he would see the error of his ways. When 'Tron returned, KB was the first of their siblings to welcome him home.
Affiliation: Autobots/ Wreckers/ The Starfall
Hometown: Iacon
Residence: Iacon / Kaon / Iacon / The Starfall
Extra: Not much is known about KB's past. A mysterious mech had given KB to Starfall one cycle asking him to "Look after the brat." No other instructions were given and KB refused to divulge any personal information about where he was from and where his family was.
KB isn't much of a fighter but what he lacks in size he makes up for in processing power. He often helps Wizzard and Sunspark with their work.
He's The Starfall's Chief Scientific Officer.
Name: Riot
Age: ((Unknown)) (Living)
Gender: Femme
Frame Origin: Kaon
Frame Color: pink-rose color with bronze and copper colored accents
Optic Color: Blue and hot pink
_ View On Him/Her: She was honestly surprised that it was 'Tron of all mechs that joined the Cons. Should have been her but eh… She's just happy that her little brother is home.
Affiliation: Autobots/ Wreckers/ The Starfall
Hometown: Kaon
Residence: Kaon / The Starfall
Extra: Growing up in the rough and tumble underbelly of Kaon gave Riot a number of different skills and views of the world around her. Though if she was honest with herself (and she's pretty blunt so…) if it wasn't for her family she would have joined the Decepticons. Not because she wanted a new system of government, she just wanted to watch the world burn.
She's a little… erm… She's a few pistons short of a working engine block… Hence the name Riot.
Because of her wild nature Riot is one of the best warriors on The Starfall, but her true talent lies in espionage.
~Best friend~
Name: Soundout
Age: ((Unknown)) (Living)
Gender: Femme
Frame Origin: Vosian-ish
Frame Color: Matte black, purple, grey and gold bio-lights
Optic Color: Bright green (normal) Gold (when in battle/emotional)
_ View On Him/Her: He's a good mech and a good friend. When I first met him it had been in the final vorns of the war for Cybertron. He was broken, done. Same as I was. I was going to end him. He was a Decepticon after all. But there was something in his optics… A small glimmer of defiance and hope. He asked me to take him to Prime, he said that he wanted to change sides, so I took him to Iacon. And the rest is history.
Affiliation: Autobot
Hometown: Praxus
Residence: Praxus/Iacon/The Ark/Earth
Extra: Second eldest of Skyrider's and Shockwarp's Sparklings
She is also has a Split-Spark, her twin is Techgear
~Friend *cough* Crush *cough*~
Name: Techgear
Age: ((Unknown)) (Living)
Gender: mech
Frame Origin: Vos
Frame Color: Matte Black, gun metal grey and green accents, green bio-lights
Optic Color: Green
_ View On Him/Her: 'Tron's a very kind-Sparked bot, despite his intimidating person. He looks after my sister as well which helps me relax a bit... H-he's pleasant c-company...
Affiliation: Neutral-Autobot
Hometown: Praxus
Residence: Praxus/Iacon/The Ark/Earth
Extra: Third eldest of Skyrider's and Shockwarp's Sparklings.
He's not one for fighting and has a slow fuse but has one Pit of a temper when/if you finally torque him off.
He has a love of all things science related
Name: Bluestreak
Age: ((Unknown)) (Living)
Gender: Tche
Frame Origin: Praxus
Frame Color: Dark grey/blue with lighter grey and red accents
Optic Color: Blue
_ View On Him/Her: I really like 'Tron, he's nice and doesn't interrupt me when I talk to him. Just like Soundout, now that I think about it. But he's more of a listener than Sounders. But I appreciate it all the same. He even told some other mechs to leave me alone when he first joined the Autobots after some of the infantry told me to shut up. It really hurt my feelings when they said that but, of course, I didn't let it show on my face. The only bots that know why I keep talking and talking and talking are really only central command, save a few others but… I don't know I'm thinking of telling 'Tron. He doesn't know either, so I think he deserves to have some sort of explanation as to why I practically talk his audios off but he says it's nice to have somebot around him that doesn't remind him constantly that he was a Decepticon.
Affiliation: Autobots
Hometown: Praxus
Residence: Praxus / The Ark / Earth
Extra: He talks a lot and is criminally adorable.
Best sniper in the Autobot army
((A/N: This'll be an ongoing update until all of the "Other's Thoughts" are done, I just have no inspiration for how the canon characters would act/feel/say about 'Tron soooo~ yeah that's all I got))
Optimus Prime: I would be lying if I said I wasn't surprised when Soundout brought Magnotron to the base when the War still raged on Cybertron. I knew she was still bitter over the destruction of Praxus, she often lost herself in either the finalization of reports or in battle… I've only spoken to him a few times but he seems like a trustworthy mech.
Magnotron's Thoughts on Him: I… admit that I didn't think to highly of Prime before the War… Mechs were dying in the streets and… My opinion's changed. Now all I wish for is for our people to find peace.
Ratchet: I don't see him in my Med Bay often, which I'm happy about. One less of those little fraggers I have to worry about. At the same time, whenever he does end up on my table he seems to be halfway to joining Primus. Morons. All of them.
Magnotron's Thoughts on Him: I… like Ratchet. He's a good Medic. The best actually. I remember when I first joined the Autobots there were two things the Decepticons got right about him. One: He is a scary fragger when torqued off, two: They weren't exaggerating about his proficiency and deadliness when handling a wrench. Hehehe…
Prowl: He does his work quickly and efficiently without complaint, but still manages to get roped into whatever harebrained scheme Soundout, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe come up with.
Magnotron's Thoughts on Him: Prowl's a legend. Everybot in the Decepticon army knows of him. Pit even Soundwave is reluctant going up against him. Soundwave. As for my thoughts on him? Respect. Mad respect for that mech.
Jazz: Yeah I remember him. Slagged him to the Pit and back before ol' Meg called a retreat. Imagine my surprise when I see Sounders' waltzin' 'round Iacon with 'Tron in tow, showing him the sights and whatnot.
Magnotron's Thoughts on Him: I went up against Jazz once. Saw him as an easy target considering his size… that and I had no clue who he actually was. If I did I would have been clear on the other side of the battle field. Mech is scary as frag.

Magnotron's Thoughts on Them:
Mirage: Oh? Him? He spends most of his time with Soundout does he not? I haven't seen him since…
Magnotron's Thoughts on Him: …Wh- Oh! 'Raj yeah… Yeah I guess he was an Autobot, but he was a Decepticon for a while, did a lot of 'good work' for Soundwave and Megatron. We talked but not often, he was a loner even by Decepticon standers.
Hound:
Magnotron's Thoughts on Him:
Bluestreak: *See thoughts under 'Friends'*
Magnotron's Thoughts on Him: He's a talker… But I appreciate it. Blue's one of the few friends that I've been able to make since deserting… Not that I had a ton of friends when I was a Decepticon but Blue actively tries to include me and make me feel welcome.
