Autobots
Optimus Prime/Orion Pax: Optimus was once an ordinary Autobot dockyard worker, who held close kinship with Megatron. They formed a brotherly bond together and had heated but friendly philosophical debates on Cybertron. But after Megatron's extreme display of violence, the execution of Zeta Prime's right hand ambassador Decimus and his soldiers, the war began. Optimus at first, refused to fight his brother, continuing work at the docks. But when the Decepticons attacked Iacon, he had no other choice but to take up his axe and Ion Rifle and fight. He transforms into a Cybertronian six-wheeled freight truck, of red and blue design with orange Energon lines.
As the war continues, he is granted the title of Prime and forgets his name 'Orion Pax'. He becomes noticeably more ruthless towards the Decepticon cause.

Vector Prime:
Decepticons
Megatron: Megatron was once a Constructicon and worker on the Mining Outpost C-12, but when the Autobot Council sent Senator Decimus to this outpost to shut them down, Megatron was forced to commit his first act of violence. He was arrested and made gladiator on Kaon, but when his corrupt managers told him to lose the fight so he'd be shut down, Megatron killed them all and took over Kaon, kicking out the upper class and forming an army. Megatron gained his name from one of the (corrupt) Primes: Megatronus Prime. When Orion Pax came to visit, Megatron was the only one who welcomed him warmly. They used to have debates of philosophy, astronomy, history, many things. But Megatron planned to get back at the Senate who had so wrongly had him imprisoned and pushed into brutality, and so he attacked Iacon and began the war, leading the Decepticons. He also began his campaign for Dark Energon: a powerful substance that enhances its vessel.
From here, Megatron seemed to forget Optimus. Megatron has gunmetal grey armor, red optics and purple and red designs on scarred armor. He fights with a spiked Energon mace and a Fusion Cannon, and transforms into a Cybertronian Fusion Tank.
American accent.
Starscream [Seeker]: Starscream had once been an Air Commander, but due to an incident involving insubordination, he was sent to Trypticon Space Station and demoted by the Senate. Seething with rage, he planned his revenge, but was stopped by another former Air Commander named Jetfire. Over those thousand years, Starscream guarded Trypticon along with Jetfire, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and the other Cybertronians. When Megatron attacked Trypticon, Starscream at first tried to defy the Decepticon leader. But in Megatron he saw his chance for success, his revenge reignited. Despite the pleas of his friend Jetfire, Starscream allowed Megatron access to the Dark Energon, not only betraying Jetfire but allowing his inclusion into the Decepticon Army. From there, Starscream rose to a position of power, which made other Decepticons wary or even jealous.
Starscream is bitter, strict, extremely intelligent but at times this intelligence gets in the way of what he should really see. He is rebellious of Megatron's rule and takes every opportunity to question his 'leader' which is a mask for something a lot darker: betrayal. Starscream wishes to take control of the Decepticons so that he can restore his former glory. He has white and blue armor with red details and yellow cockpit glass, along with red optics. At times Cybertronian tattoos can be seen on his armor. He transforms into a Cybertronian Raptor Jet, and fights with twin purple Energon swords and a missile launcher.
British accent with a small hint of American.
Skywarp [Seeker]: Skywarp is Starscream's right-hand, serving in Starscream's unit, and suffering the same fate: work on Trypticon and demotion. As with Thundercracker, Skywarp shares the same body type as Starscream. Skywarp is brutal and seems to love battle, in numerous occasions hitting workers aboard Trypticon, only to be reprimanded by Starscream. When Megatron attacked Trypticon, Skywarp admired his brutally, not listening to Starscream. Eventually, they all joined the Decepticons, and his brutality only increased. He has purple and white armor and gold optics, and fights with a long-range plasma rifle and plasma scimitar. He transforms into a Cybertronian Raptor Jet.
American accent.
Thundercracker [Seeker]: Thundercracker is Starscream's left-hand in the squadron, and also suffered the same fate: work on Trypticon and demotion.

He fights with Ion and plasma mortars, and transforms into a Cybertronian Bomber.
English accent.
Ramjet [Seeker]: Ramjet is a Seeker and is one of Starscream's squadron who wasn't sent to Trypticon to serve time. This is perhaps out of the Senate's arrogance, or maybe because they knew Ramjet's mental processors have been damaged. The truth is, Ramjet has never been intelligent, but obviously Starscream had a use for him, to include him into the squadron. Ramjet will follow anyone if told, and makes Skywarp his role model. When Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp joined, Ramjet blindly followed. He'll jump into any situation without an afterthought, making him easy use of a distraction. He has turquoise, red and grey armor, an over-sized Energon hammer, and plasma rifle, and transforms into a Cybertronian Razor-Wing, and also has the cone of his vehicular form on his head.
Dense American accent.
Dirge [Seeker]: Dirge is a Seeker who was part of Starscream's squadron, and was sent to Kaon after Starscream's subsequent dismissal.

He rejoined Starscream and became a Decepticon to fight in the war. He has blue, purple and gold armor, orange optics, plasma cannon, Energon falchion, and transforms into a Cybertronian Stealth Jet. He is also cone-headed.
American accent.
Cyclonus [Seeker]: Cyclonus had been part of Starscream's squadron up until the disband and dismissal. From there, Cyclonus had disappeared, infrequently reappearing for training in Kaon Stadium.

He has very intricate wing details, a spine made up of both afterburners combined, gold optics, cone-head and light purple armor. He fights with a plasma rifle and a Dark Energon spear which injects Dark Energon into the enemy. He transforms into a Cybertronian Raven.
English accent.
Motormaster [Stunticon]: Motormaster is the big leader of the the Stunticons, and likes nothing more than head-on collisions and boasting about how any road is his. A lot of the time he doesn't talk to the Stunticons, and heads off on his own. He has bright purple armor covered in blue and purple Energon lines, a massive broadsword, laser cannon, and gold optics. He transforms into a Cybertronian Transport Truck/Bus.
American accent.
Dragstrip [Stunticon]: Dragstrip is a Stunticon, who may be small but thinks outside his size. He can be prone to boasting about a range of things, from how quick he can draw his blasters, to his 'superior' vehicle form, and to the color of his armor. This boasting can get on other Decepticon's nerves, but they are glad enough to have him for back up and in battle. He is lightly armored, his armor being a gold color with purple detail, yellow optics, small plasma mace, and twin plasma revolvers. He transforms into a Cybertronian sports car.
American accent.
Breakdown [Stunticon]: Breakdown is another Stunticon, who is extremely bipolar and paranoid. He always thinks 'someone is watching' him, and will be quick to anger. He mistrusts Soundwave a lot, seeing as Soundwave can wear the walls like a mask. He has blue and grey heavy armor, spikes on back and wheels clear on shoulders, purple Energon lines, spiked Energon nunchuk and twin plasma launchers. Transforms into a Cybertronian Pursuit Car.
Irish accent.
Barricade: Barricade is all law-enforcement. He has known Megatron from his time as gladiator in Kaon Stadium, and has also known Orion Pax/Optimus. In fact, Barricade was one of those who give him a cold greeting when he visited Megatron in Kaon, after the overthrow. Barricade also dislikes the Senate for the lack of law-enforcement policies. He is a firm believer that Megatron should rule Cybertron. He is a Decepticon to the core. He has black and grey armor, with 'police' written in Cybertronian cyrillic on his shoulders, fights with twin plasma batons, and two Energon pistols. He has close contacts with the Dreads, and several other sub-law enforcement agencies. He transforms into a Cybertronian Police Car and has four gold optics, allowing for accuracy and multi-attention.
American accent.
Soundwave: Soundwave is the Decepticon Communication Officer, and has many assets: Ravage, Frenzy and Laserbeak. Any camera, it's his. Any satellite, radio channel or wavelength: he owns it. He can hack into the most complicated networks, melt firewalls, and lodge viruses deep within the annex of the enemy system. He has been a Decepticon from the start, though where he comes from is unknown. He speaks in a heavily synthesized tone which can at times blow sound sensors if he decides to change frequency, channel or wavelength. He has a yellow visor, dark grey and purple armor with Cybertronian disks on back and forearms that can release plasma energy. His face is a very real likeness of the Decepticon symbol.
He transforms into a Cybertronian Truck and fights with plasma UZI's and an Energon hatchet and shield.
No accent distinguishable.
Shockwave: Shockwave is a Decepticon Scientist, Hunter and Assassin, and probably the most powerful Decepticon on Cybertron. He is cold, insular, and serves only logic. He cares little for those around him, he only cares for his own creations and experiments. Many Decepticons fear Shockwave for the power he holds: some say he was not created by Primus, but by Unicron. Shockwave joined the Decepticon forces after Megatron manages to best him in combat at the Energon Purification Core in Tarn, which Shockwave was in charge of. Shockwave still had control over Tarn after he bested Megatron when the leader attempted to take over the city.
Shockwave moved his experiment to a tower in Kaon, having it heavily guarded. He knows about Zeta Prime's spacebridge creation and is intent on stealing it or replicating it himself. He has already created Insecticons: primal Decepticon warriors who can clone themselves. He is clad in dark purple armor and is cycloptic, having an ominous purple optic in the centre of his forehead, with horn-like structures on the sides. He transforms into a Cybertronian Katana (Jet), with one big afterburner in the centre that is quiet to the sound sensors, when it can be. He has a massive, left-handed Blastwave Energon rifle with a hose attaching it to the Energon tanks on his back, which is very accurate, and a blade that comes out of his right arm. He also has intricate spine and abdomen detail.
English/Ukrainian/Russian accent.
Onslaught [Combaticon]: Onslaught is the leader of the Combaticon Elites, a military-type special unit in the Decepticon army. He is one of the taller Combaticon Elites, and one of the more sensible, although he is known to descend into a frenzy of madness. He has a black and grey sheen of armor with what appears to be blue Cybertronian tattoos on the darker parts, and purple Energon lines. He is heavily armed, with a left-handed laser, miniguns, Energon hammer, plasma combat kinfe. He has a gold visor which covers optics. He transforms into a Cybertronian Combaticon Armored/Assault Truck.
Makes up Bruticus' torso.
Australian accent.
Brawl [Combaticon]: Brawl is the second-in-command in the Combaticon Elites, and is a also the most trigger-happy. He loves nothing more than war: without it he would get bored and possibly end up killing everything around him or himself. He will gladly charge Autobots, with no concern for himself and very little for his teammates. His red optics are hidden behind a gold visor. His armor is a gunmetal and dark grey with very few markings. In the dead centre of his chest, a Decepticon symbol glows. The tank tracks of his vehicle form make up his upper arms and lower legs, and his main weapon is the Energon chaingun attached to his right arm. He also has two plasma cannons on his back, which make up the two inferior cannons in his tank form. He transforms into a Cybertronian Combaticon Tank.
Makes up Bruticus' left leg.
American accent.
Swindle [Combaticon]: Swindle is one of the fast soldiers in the Combaticon Elites, and is perhaps the most sensible, although sensible is not a word that exists within a Combaticon's vocabulary. Only duty, destroy, devastate. He often makes jokes about Brawl's ability only to do those things, and says that "Brawl lacks the thought sensors to do anything else." This often results in the two Combaticons fighting and being broken up by Vortex or Onslaught. Swindle has a distinctive purple visor and yellow-patterned armor and transforms into a Cybertronian Armored Humvee.
Makes up Bruticus' right leg.
Italian accent.
Blast Off [Combaticon]: Blast Off is the flying Elite in the Combaticon Elites. He likes to be arrogant and use his advanced range to get ahead of everyone else in the team. He is very bad at managing conflict, actually just sitting back and watching Swindle and Brawl beat each other into lugnuts. He transforms into a Cybertronian Combaticon Raptor (A heavily modified version of Starscream's alt form) and gets reminded of this by Brawl. Blast Off is known to have something against Starscream. He fights with an Energon minigun, and has copper-colored armor with a red visor.
Makes up Bruticus' right arm.
French accent.
Depthcharge [Combaticon]: Depthcharge is the infiltration Elite of the Combaticon Elites, and uses the seas and lakes, canals and rivers of Energon as his gateway into battle. He has navy and light blue armor, a silver visor, and transforms into a Cybertronian Corvette. He is the largest of the Combaticon Elites, and has very heavy armaments.
Makes up Bruticus' jetpack.
Swedish accent.
Vortex [Combaticon]: Vortex is definitely the most sensible in the group, and also the most quiet. In fact, he hardly speaks, unless it is to give orders. He is also the interrogator of the Combaticons, and the melee expert. He has gold visor, red and copper armor detail and transforms into a Cybertronian Attack Combaticon Helicopter, with four rotors. In robot mode, the four rotor blades fold on his back and he uses them like katanas. He also has Energon miniguns.
Makes up Bruticus' left arm.
Russian accent.
Slipstream [Seeker]: She is an air Decepticon, a Seeker that was never part of Starscream's special squadron. She has worked as part of Vos Air Enforcement for a very long time. That is, until Megatron took over Kaon. She became interested in Megatron's speeches of "Freedom", and "Liberation." She left her post on Vos to side with Megatron, besting his Air Decepticons easily. Megatron saw great potential in her and sent her to Tarn to undertake assignments there. She has purple and light green armor, purple optics and many bladed weapons.
