Tracks

"If it weren't for me you'd be fricasseed punk right now!" Name: Tracks Allegiance: Autobot Function: Warrior Motto: "Looking good is what life is all about." Profile: "Lousy Earth-lover," is one of the nicer epithets used by some of Tracks' comrades to describe his behaviour. After all, he makes no secret of the fact that he prefers the sleek and classy Earth form given to him by the Ark over his original robot form. If the war didn't require him to sometimes revert to his Autobot form, he might stay a car all the time. He attributes his fellow Autobots' criticism to jealousy on their part - they don't look as good as he does in vehicular form, he reasons. But their displeasure stems from a more serious consideration. They feel the struggle against the Decepticons should be Tracks' prime concern, not his own looks. Vanity can blind anybody to the truth, even a robot. Abilities: In vehicular mode, Tracks can reach spe...

Trailbreaker

"Aw, hexagonal nuts!" Name: Trailbreaker Allegiance: Autobot  Function:  Defensive Strategist Motto: "An Autobot's as good as the fuel in his tank." Profile: "Looks like some pigeonoids can't find their nest." That's how Trailbreaker describes a full-scale attack by a battalion of flying Decepticons. He'll make light of anything, no matter how dire the situation, and has been known to cross the optic circuits of Huffer while he's in his rest mode. Even Huffer laughed at that one. He's the Autobot cheerleader. But there's a darker side to Trailbreaker. He is the most fuel-consuming Autobot and thus believes he is a liability to the group. He often has volunteered to be left behind in battle situations rather than use up precious resources. His lack of self-esteem is apparent to Autobot Leader Optimus Prime, who continually reassures him of his value. Abilities: Trailbreaker's force-field projector can create an i...

Cliffjumper

"I wanna boot some Decepticon right in his turbocharger!" Name: Cliffjumper Allegiance: Autobot  Function: Warrior Motto: "Strike first, strike fast, strike hard." Profile: "Let me at 'em" is Cliffjumper's usual response when the Autobots embark on a mission. His eagerness and daring have no equal among the Autobots. Optimus Prime knows this gung-ho trait is an expression of Cliffjumper's burning desire for vengeance on the Decepticons. Although he takes his work very seriously, Cliffjumper is full of good-natured bravado while he's doing it. He doesn't actively dislike Earth, but he considers its rough, uneven terrain a hindrance to his effectiveness, and too often is carelessly destructive. Often he is on the receiving end of a lecture from Optimus on caution and the protection of Earthen property. Abilities: Cliffjumper is one of the fastest of the Autobots, in his automobile mode, and he makes a particularly effectiv...
