Gears

Image
"Every time I get set to lube my cable relays, something happens!" Name: Gears Allegiance: Autobot Function: Transport, Reconnaissance Motto: "Nobody wins a war - somebody loses." Profile: Gears is the complainer in the group. He absolutely hates the Earth and everything about it and he is eager to let the others know this. He is a self-proclaimed misfit, the type who finds fault in everything and everyone, even himself. That is one of the reasons Optimus Prime finds him useful: Gears is so sour-tempered that the rest of the Autobots cheer themselves up by trying to cheer him up. Only Optimus knows that Gears' complaining is an act. Gears realises his function is to force his companions to see what's good about a situation, and he performs accordingly. Abilities: Gears has tremendous strength and endurance. He is often used to tote heavy loads for long distances. He will even carry several of his comrades to conserve fuel. He can launch himself to...

Wreck-Gar

"You check in, but you don't check out." Name: Wreck-Gar Allegiance: Junkion Function: Junkion Leader Motto: "Collect and save, collect and save." Profile: Wreck-Gar is the leader of the Junkions, and like his people, is a creature comprised of rusted scraps, dented odds and ends, chassis bits, and manifold parts - a walking, very powerful and all but indestructible Junkbot, i.e., a robot of junk. When he is hit by laser blasts and falls apart, he reassembles himself out of the junky remains of his body and available junk heaps that constitute the structure of his planetoid, and keeps right on coming. And his speech and attitudes are also a junkyard-like collection of languages and broadcast fragments overheard from all over the universe - scraps of T.V. commercials, soap opera dialogue, old song lyrics and valentine inscriptions merged with quotations from history given out of context. As Wreck-Gar might say, "Holy Mackeral, Mrs. Olson, your mount...

Predaking

Image
“Predaking has the power, he needs nothing more!”  Name: Predaking Allegiance: Decepticon Sub-Group: Predacon Function: Warrior Motto: "Destroy first, ask questions later." Profile: Although he's a living machine whose thoughts are dictated by a mass of microprocessors and logic centres, all of Predaking's actions seemingly result from swift, savage, animal instinct. The five Predacons - Razorclaw, Rampage, Tantrum, Divebomb and Headstrong - who comprise Predaking blend together so smoothly, their circuits integrate so seamlessly, that Predaking moves with a fierce fluidity that belies his multi-body construction. He doesn't think, he only reacts. Whether his optical sensors detect the movement of a jumbo jet or an ant, his response is the same, virtually instantaneous and usually deadly. Only other Decepticons can escape being targeted by this hair-trigger horror, and even they worry that in some instance Predaking might mistake them for the enemy. But ...
