List of The Transformers characters

This article shows a list of characters from The Transformers television series that aired during the debut of the American and Japanese Transformers media franchise from 1984 to 1991.

Autobots

The Autobots (also known as Cybertrons in Japan) are the heroes in the Transformers toyline and related spin-off comics and cartoons. Their main leader is Optimus Prime, but other "Primes" have also commanded the Autobots such as Rodimus Prime. They are constantly at war with the evil Decepticons. In the U.S. cartoon line, the Autobots were the descendants of a line of robots created as consumer goods by the Quintessons; the Decepticons, are descended instead from robots designed as military hardware.

Other terms for the Autobots are Autorobot (in Italy), Autoboterna (in Sweden), Kibery (in Ukraine), and Robotrikim (in Israel).

The leader of the Autobots. Optimus Prime is the strongest and most courageous of all Autobots. Feels his role is the protection of all life, including Earth-life. Fights unceasingly to defeat the Decepticons.

Small, eager, and brave, Bumblebee acts as a messenger, scout, and spy. Due to his small size, he dares to go where others cannot and will not. He idolizes the bigger Autobots, especially Optimus Prime and Prowl, and strives to be accepted. He is the most energy efficient and has the best vision of all the Autobots. He can go underwater for reconnaissance and salvage missions. Although he is physically the weakest Autobot, his stealth more than compensates for this inadequacy. This battle-tested robot was the first Autobot to forge an alliance with the humans. He is a very close ally to human Spike Witwicky, Often seen as an underdog and not the biggest bot he has more courage than any soldier from Cybertron. As the most trusted lieutenant of Optimus Prime, he will do whatever it takes to protect earth and its people.

"Let me at 'em" is Cliffjumper's motto. His eagerness and daring have no equal. He is driven by a desire to win the battle against the Decepticons. Finds Earth terrain a hindrance. One of the fastest Autobots, and often uses his speed to draw fire away from others. Shoots "glass gas" which makes metal as brittle as glass.

Often injured while experimenting with new weapons.
Prowl	1980 Nissan 280ZX Police	More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1)	Killed by a Constructicon in The Transformers: The Movie (His appearance in Headmasters could be considered an animation error).	Michael Bell	Dead (Alive in Headmasters)
Prowl is the Autobot military strategist and will keep at a task for as long as it takes. Strives to find reason and logic in everything. A listener, not a talker. Has most sophisticated logic center of all Autobots. Able to analyze and advise on complex combat situations almost instantaneously. Fires wire-guided incendiary missiles and high-corrosive acid pellets. The unexpected can often scramble his circuits.

Hot Rod who is now known as Rodimus Prime is an all-American-boy Autobot. He is a typical adolescent who dreams of being heroic and important. He tends to follow rules too closely. Although he means well, Hot Rod's impulsive actions often get him into trouble. He carries two photon lasers that temporarily electromagnetize an enemy robot's microcircuits. Speed: 120 mph. Range: 4 miles. He can be hotheaded, but he is always a well meaning, admirable lad and a brave and honorable fighter. As Rodimus Prime, he is the vanguard for the Autobot ranks. Possesses acute military prowess. Speaks with the savvy of seasoned veteran. Expert tactician with exceptional maneuverability in battle. Has a tendency to act first and ask questions later. In robot mode, carries a photon eliminator that shoots high voltage electricity. Range: 500 miles. Speed: 200 mph. Sole purpose is to protect all life. His only weakness is his compassion for other living creatures. As a Targetmaster, Hot Rod often goes off on his own adventure with Firebolt, his electrostatic discharger rifle, who led a quiet scholarly life as Nebulan's top atomic physics scientist until he became the thrill-seeking Hot Rod's partner, Firebolt is excited, but nervous, about the prospect. In, “Transformers Headmasters”, Hot Rod became Rodimus Prime again. After Cybertron was destroyed, Rodimus left with Kup and Blurr to find a new home for the Autobots, making Fortress Maximus the new supreme commander of the Autobots.
Springer	Cybertronian Helicopter/Cybertronian Armored Car	The Transformers: The Movie	The Burden Hardest to Bear	Neil Ross	Alive
A wise-cracking, sharp witted adventurer, and is a triple changer. Powerful Autobot fighter with a massive physique and an easy-going manner. Possesses incredible "springing" power in his legs.

Optimistic and good humored.
Kup	Cybertronian Pickup Truck	The Transformers: The Movie	The Rebirth (Part 3)	Lionel Stander (movie), John Stephenson (TV series)	Alive
Kup is an old veteran warhorse with a thousand tall tales from his ten thousand adventures. He has a motto or word of advice for any situation and he is as brave and loyal as they come. In robot mode, he carries an old-style musket laser that shoots short bursts of metal-corrosive hydrochloric acid. Range: 5 miles. Speed: 100 mph. Kup sees himself as a seasoned campaigner with more knowledge and experience to share. Other Autobots are not always receptive to his advice. As a Targetmaster, he is binary-bonded to Recoil, an old style musket laser and former all-world prismaball player. In, “Transformers: The Headmasters”, Kup and Blurr left with Rodimus Prime to find a new home for the Autobots after Cybertron was destroyed.
Ultra Magnus	1986 Mack Car Carrier	Scramble City	The Rebirth (Part 3)	Robert Stack (film), Jack Angel (TV series)	Alive (Died in Headmasters)
Ultra Magnus is all soldier. Most comfortable when carrying out Optimus Prime's orders. Possesses magnificent fighting skills, courage, and a gift for battlefield improvisation. Uncomfortable in the mantle of leadership, but presents strong profile as a commander. Carries missile launchers capable of hitting a target 30 miles away. Resolute, fair, and courageous beyond reproach. Ever ready to sacrifice himself for the good of men and mission. Ultra Magnus was chosen to lead the Autobots by Optimus Prime. In the third season, Ultra Magnus became second-in-command of the Autobots, and an advisor for Rodimus Prime. In the "Headmasters" series, Ultra Magnus was killed by Sixshot.
Blurr	Cybertronian Hover Car	The Transformers: The Movie	The Rebirth (Part 3)	John Moschitta Jr.	Alive
Blurr is the fastest Autobot on land. He is a close descendant to a thoroughbred Cybertronic race horse, and a superior messenger. He can quickly whisk information from one place to another. In robot mode, he carries an electro-laser that reverses the polarity of an enemy robot's microcircuits and leaves them motionless. Range: 10 miles. In vehicular mode, he can travel faster than the speed of sound, leaving a blurred image in his trail. As a Targetmaster, he is paired with Haywire, excitable Nebulan teenager whose impulsiveness makes him a chancy electro-laser cannon, at best. In, Transformers: The Headmasters”, Blurr and Kup left with Rodimus Prime to find a new home for the Autobot's after Cybertron was destroyed.
Arcee	Cybertronian Convertible	The Transformers: The Movie	The Rebirth (Part 3)	Susan Blu	Alive
Arcee is the only female Autobot to appear on a regular basis, not one of the few female Autobots who only appeared in just four various episodes. She was created in an effort by the film's producers to expand the market audience to include girls as well as to appear less sexist. Some have criticized the character for being overly stereotypically female due mainly to her need to protect Daniel Witwicky and act as a surrogate mother, but she is still shown to be a tough female warrior (i.e.: The Dweller in the Depths). She eventually becomes a Headmaster with Daniel (in an Exo-suit) forming her head. Although she has been paired with Springer (for most of Season 3), Chromedome (2 episodes of the second half of Headmasters) and Brainstorm (most of the second half of Headmasters), she seems to be more attached to Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime (in the Movie and Dark Awakening and the first half of Headmasters).
Wheelie	Cybertronian Car	The Transformers: The Movie	The Return of Optimus Prime (Part 2)	Frank Welker	Alive
Wheelie is the sole survivor from a party of intergalactic colonists who crash landed on Earth. He is a barbaric little savage who managed to stay alive by cunning, stealth, and fearlessness. Speaks in odd rhyming sentences and despises the Decepticons. Fights only when he is under attack and has to defend himself. Is a staunch friend to the Dinobots and a reliable ally for Hot Rod and Kup.

Can trigger alarms in other Autobots. Excellent sensory perception. Fast in vehicular mode. Carries 25-mile range rocket launcher and particle beam rifle. Prone to rash judgements which can lead to injury to himself and comrades.
Smokescreen	Datsun 280ZX Turbo	Appears in Dinobot Island (Part 1). First speaks in The Master Builder.	Scramble City, In the original storyboards for The Transformers: The Movie, it was Smokescreen who laid dead, rather than Wheeljack (Though Wheeljack's corpse is painted with Smokescreen's color scheme when Springer enters the room before the shot changes to focus on Arcee moving Windcharger's body). Later seen in the Japanese series Transformers: Headmasters and Transformers: Victory.	Jack Angel	Alive
Whether engaged in raging battle or friendly conversation, an ulterior purpose usually exists. Job is to lead enemy astray. Sneaky, but charming and affable... considered most devious yet most trusted of Autobots. In car mode, emits thick smoke from tailpipe... attracts to metal. In robot mode, shoots missiles which wreak havoc on enemy aircraft radar and guidance systems... electro-disrupter rifle shorts out electrical targets.

A little scatterbrained, he speaks in odd-rhyming, pieced together sentences. His words are a junkyard collection of broadcast fragments from TV commercials and radio jingles. In robot mode he carries an armor axe, and a decelerator laser that inhibits an enemy robot's flow of cerebral impulses. When blasted he transforms from motorcycle to robot mode back and forth, so fast continuously that it repairs himself. Wreck-Gar and his fellow Junkions have allied themselves with the Autobots.
Junkyard	Motorcycle	The Transformers: The Movie	The Big Broadcast of 2006	Jerry Houser	Alive
Junkyard also known as Junkheap is the public face of the Junkion commerce, and often sells used and refurbished components and items to other civilizations. Unlike most Junkions who are always quoting TV and media, and can be very hard to understand if you are not a Junkion, Junkyard usually speaks in plain English. Junkyard is also very good at identifying the needs of his customers, and is very good in business, and is a skilled technician, and does not like to fight in battle.
Scrapheap	Motorcycle	The Transformers: The Movie	The Big Broadcast of 2006	Frank Welker	Alive
Scrapheap is a youthful and rebellious Junkion, whose average day consists of non-stop television marathons, rummaging through trash, and the occasional knock-down dragout motorcycle rally-slash slugfest. He often finds hidden treasures picking through the trash piles of refuse of his homeworld, but that's not what he wants to spend his life doing. He sees a career on his homeworld as an inventor as his ticket off his planet, and he is not above lying, stealing, and cheating to get what he needs to make it happen.
Re-Cycle	Motorcycle	The Transformers: The Movie	The Big Broadcast of 2006	Unknown	Alive
Re-Cycle enjoys making and watching documentaries. He can transform into motorcycle mode and back to robot mode continuously in battle, so that his "ruins" become his transformed mode and back again any time he takes a direct hit. In robot mode, he carries an armor ax and a decelerator laser that inhibits an enemy robot's flow of cerebral impulses. In motorcycle mode he can attain a speed of 160 mph for a distance of 100 miles. After the Autobots and Junkions became friends, Re-Cycle gave Grimlock a kiss on the nose, which Grimlock did not like and objected to.
Rubbish	Motorcycle	The Transformers: The Movie	The Big Broadcast of 2006	Unknown	Alive
Rubbish is a Junkion who likes British television, particularly sitcoms.

Wasteoid Gamma	Motorcycle	The Transformers: The Movie		Keiichi Nanba	Alive
Wasteoid Gamma was among the Junkions who attacked the Autobots after they were stranded on their planet. Wastoid Gamma rode Junkion Scrapheap into battle, while swinging his chain whip. Many other Junkions while passing ending up being yanked apart while trying to lasso Springer. The arrival of the Autobot's shuttle interrupted the battle, and as Hot Rod's party emptied their ship, Wasteoid Gamma walked up next to Wreck-Gar in case the new arrivals would be hostile and his leader would need help. This would not be the case, as Hot Rod offered the universal greeting and an energon goodie to the Junkions, which convinced them that the Autobots were not their enemies. The two groups then spontaneously began to celebrate their newly formed alliance.
Trashbin	Motorcycle	The Transformers: The Movie		N/A	Alive
Trashbin was among the Junkions who attacked the Autobots after they were stranded on their planet. Trashbin went after Arcee, and while he was riding another Junkion up next to her, he smashed his axe against her side over and over. Arcee retaliated by driving a spike into the Junkion who he was riding causing Trashbin to fall of the Junkion. Like everything else the Autobots threw at the Junkions, it did not stop one or the other. Fortunately, Hot Rod's party found its way to the battle. Hot Rod offered the universal greeting as well as an energon goodie to the Junkions, which convinced them that the Autobots were not their foes. The two groups then ceased fighting and spontaneously began to celebrate the alliance that was newly formed.
Nancy/Rum-Maj	Motorcycle	The Big Broadcast of 2006		Joy Grdnic	Alive
Nancy is a Junkion who appears to be the consort of the Junkion leader Wreck-Gar, and is the only known female Junkion. Nancy also seems to have some sort of relationship with Wreck-Gar as well, perhaps a romantic one. The only current transformer with a human name, she spends countless hours watching TV, and like all Junkions, she can be blasted to pieces without taking any noticeable permanent damage, and is capable of repairing herself within seconds.
Short Junkion	Motorcycle	The Big Broadcast of 2006		Frank Welker	Alive
Short Junkion is, as the name would suggest, a small Junkion. Under the influence of the Quintessons' subliminal message, Short Junkion began tidying up the planet, finding the journal that the Quintessons had secretly been after in the process. He then took it to Wreck-Gar and was told to put the journal in the tube pile. Short Junkion and Wreck-Gar bantered for a bit before resuming their respective tasks.
Other Junkions	Motorcycles	The Transformers: The Movie	The Big Broadcast of 2006	N/A	Alive
When Autobots Kup, Hot Rod, and The Dinobots who were flying the Quintessons' spaceship flew down towards the surface of the planet Junkion, they were able to see hundreds of Junkions below through the spaceship's windows who were very eager to investigate the spaceship after it had landed. An alliance was soon formed between the Autobots and Junkions after Hot Rod offered an energon goodie to Wreck-Gar and cited the universal greeting. It is unknown what the names of each individual Junkion is, but they all known to be similar with the fact that they all like earth television, are made of the same material that their leader Wreck-Gar is made of, which is what their homeworld planet of junk is made of, and all transform into motorcycles.

A giant (the TV show does not do his size justice; see the comic) six-changer Decepticon with a vile, nasty, murderous disposition. He carries out his job with ferocious intensity. Only redeeming quality is he speaks well of those he has sent to "the great junkyard in the sky," his phrase for destruction. Has six forms: robot, armored carrier, ramming-tank, jet-propelled laser pistol, star fighter, and wolf-creature modes. Only the wolf creature has no need for Sixshot's two hypersonic concussion blasters, the wolf mode prefers to rip apart enemy Autobots with his razor fangs.

The leader of the Terrorcons. Hun-Gurrr has the desire to devour the Autobots. He transformers into a two-headed white dragon.

Blot	Blue Ogre (referred as a non-specified "monster" on its toy version's instructions)	Appears in Grimlock's New Brain	The Rebirth (Part 3)	Tony St. James	Alive
Blot is a very fierce looking blue brutish monster who looks very much like an Ogre. He is clearly the most vile of all Decepticons as he oozes liquids that cannot be described from different parts of his body, and has an odor that smells so horrible that is often keeps both his enemies and friends alike to stay away from him. He is almost never seen in his robot form as he would rather stay in his alternate mode.
Sinnertwin	Green and Yellow Two-Headed Dragon	Appears in Grimlock's New Brain. First speaks in Money Is Everything.	The Rebirth (Part 3)	Jared Barclay and David Workman	Alive

Cutthroat is mission-focused, and the only winged member of the Terrorcons. He enjoy trashing Autobots perhaps more than any other Decepticon. He will destroy things to their very last form. He does not really like to merge to become Abominus as he fells that Abominus is not as aggressive as he is.
Abominus	The 5 Terrorcons	Grimlock's New Brain	The Rebirth (Part 2)	Jim Gosa	Alive
Even more so than the other Decepticon combiners, Abominus is a being of mindless fury. He's not truly a warrior—he's an animal, the destructive rages of the Terrorcons who compose him personified. His commanders cannot 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 were working for the Quintessons as an offensive/defense team in one episode, but are now otherwise Decepticon agents, as they were taken by Galvatron.

During a racecar event featuring many racecars with drivers whose names are not known one of the two commentators says "Muller takes it" who is the lead (and whose name is known) Rumble swoops down and removes him from the yellow racecar that he is driving, while the commentators and audience watch on in shock. The yellow racecar is then taken back to Megatron to be rebuilt into the Stunticon Wildrider.
Military Base Soldiers	The Key to Victor Sigma, Part 1	The Key to Victor Sigma, Part 2	Unknown
After the Stunticons had been returned to earth after being given life by Vector Sigma on Cybertron they attacked and caused great damage to a military base where there were soldiers who were protecting superfuel. A soldier then said "I don't believe it, who are they? The general then responded, "There is nobody driving those cars, it can only mean one thing, they must be the Autobots!" When the Autobots later arrived at the base, they were attacked by the soldiers. Optimus Prime told the general "that the government gave them a sample of the superfuel, why would they want to take it?". The general responds "Your cars made mincemeat out of this place a few hours ago". The Stunticons then return to the base and attacke the Autobots, and the soldiers and general then learned that it is not the Autobots who attacked the base.
Father and Daughter in the Living room	The Key to Victor Sigma, Part 2		Unknown
After being given life by Vector Sigma on Cybertron and arriving on Earth the newly created Aerialbots back at The Ark watch a TV show where a young daughter with brown hair and pigtails says to he middleaged father "She (mostly likely meaning her mother) had to go buy new furniture, don't!" as he sits on a chair that breaks. The Aerialbot then turns of the show saying "That he can't stand it".

Nebulans

Nebulans are humanoid aliens from the planet Nebulos who co-operate with the Transformers. Some Nebulans have allied with the Autobots, others with the Decepticons. The Nebulans' first and last appearance was in the three-part episode The Rebirth, which was intended as the pilot episode of the fourth season, but ended up being the season's only episode and the last episode in the entire series.

Nebulan Headmasters

The Nebulans who co-operate with the Headmasters transform into the Transformers' heads.

Name	Alternate mode	First & Last appearances		Voiced by
Arcana	Brainstorm's Head	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.
Stylor	Chromedome's Head	The Rebirth (Part 2)		Milt Jamin
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 does not 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.
Duros	Hardhead's Head	The Rebirth (Part 1)	The Rebirth (Part 3)	Charlie Adler
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. The coming of the Transformers to Nebulos may have been a tragedy for most of his race, but it was quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to 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.
Gort	Highbrow's Head	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.
Grax	Skullcruncher's Head	The Rebirth (Part 2)		Milt 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 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 did not see the similarity though, Nebulan corporate types were barely even a snack. Grax adds considerably to the somewhat slow mind of Skullcruncher, which admittedly is not difficult, 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.
Vorath	Mindwipe's Head	The Rebirth (Part 2)		Charlie Adler
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.
Monzo	Weirdwolf's Head	The Rebirth (Part 2, 3)		Neil Ross
On Nebulos, Monzo was a professional hyperwrestler before he became a nightclub owner. He is a brutal fellow who does not 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.
Spasma	Apeface's Head/Monkey Head	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 is actions trigger a torturous flashback from the Nebulan's past, reducing him to a whimpering, crying wreck.
Krunk	Snapdragon's Head/ Dragon Head	The Rebirth (Part 2)		Christopher Collins
Krunk is Zarak's nasty, brutish bodyguard. He takes orders from Zarak without 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.
Daniel Witwicky	Exosuit/Arcee's Head	The Transformers: The Movie	The Rebirth (Part 3)	David Mendenhall
Daniel Witwicky is the human son of Spike and Carly Anderson-Witwicky. He is approximately 12 years of age in 2005, and was presumably born sometime between 1990 and 1993. He is the grandson of Sparkplug Witwicky. Daniel often gets into 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 is closest to is Arcee, who views him as a surrogate son. Daniel is (sometimes) the Headmaster partner to Arcee.

Nebulan Targetmasters

The Nebulans who co-operate with the Targetmasters transform into the Transformers' weapons.

Name	Alternate mode	First & Last appearances		Voiced by
Haywire	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 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 is aiming or how effective his shots are.
Pinpointer	Pistol	The Rebirth (Part 1)	The Rebirth (Part 3)	Frank Welker
Pinpointer is a Nebulan of few words. He is binary bonded to Crosshairs.
Firebolt	electrostatic Discharge rifle	The Rebirth (Part 1)	The Rebirth (Part 3)	Dick Gautier
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 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.
Recoil	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 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.
Peacemaker	sonic blaster	The Rebirth (Part 2,3)		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 does not feel the Autobots should have involved the Nebulans in the war to begin 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.
Spoilsport	double cannon	The Rebirth (Part 2,3)		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 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 cannot help that Sureshot is a jerk, of course, and presumably he never calls.
Nightstick	beam gun	The Rebirth (Part 2,3)		Peter Cullen
Back on Nebulos, Nightstick was a master criminal. For some reason, he gave that 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.
Aimless	beam gun	The Rebirth (Part 2)		Milt Jamin
Aimless should have been called "Useless". This Nebulan's success rate when he tries to hit a target is unknown, because that would require him to, you know, actually try. Together with his Targetmaster partner Misfire, he is a danger to himself and others. Mostly others.
Fracas	Incendiary cannon	The Rebirth (Part 2)		Neil Ross
Fracas' new Targetmaster body allows him to transform into an incendiary cannon for his new Decepticon partner Scourge—fitting, since Fracas is himself a hot-running, volatile scrapper who explodes into violent rages.
Caliburst	lange barrel gun	The Rebirth (Part 2)		Johnny Haymer
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 is 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.
Blowpipe	Compression cannon	The Rebirth (Part 2,3)		John Moschitta, 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.

Other characters

Name	Alternate mode	First & Last appearance		Voiced by
The Sharkticons	Amphibious Anthropomorphic Shark	The Transformers: The Movie	The Return of Optimus Prime (Part 2)	Frank Welker (in "The Return of Optimus Prime" Pt. 1), Roger C. Carmel (Movie), Bud Davis (in "The Quintesson Journal"), Jim Cummings (in "Money is Everything")
Massive, rotund, powerfully built and virtually brainless, Sharkticons are the perfect killing machines and thus the ideal enforcers to carry out the Quintessons' verdicts. The jaws and teeth of the Sharkticon are so powerful and strong that they can snap a six inch-thick titanium steel rod in 0.23 of a second. Their spiked tails can crush the heaviest armor plating. But the real reason for their invincibility lies in their overwhelming numbers. Like piranhas, Sharkticons attack their prey en masse and are totally oblivious to the casualties the target might inflict. They know how to do only one thing, and that is to destroy. They perform that function perfectly and they travel in packs. Fearless and oblivious, loyal only to the master who last fed him. Powerful tail fin allows them to travel at speeds over 150 knots. Carnivorous with a voracious appetite, they possess several rows of razor-sharp teeth that can tear through solid steel. In robot mode, they carry a maceration laser that shoots salt-based corrosive liquid. They also carry a barbed mace.
Sharkticon pit executioners	Unknown, possibly a Shark	The Transformers: The Movie	Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4	N/A
Sharkticon pit executioners are a type of Sharkticon who stand at the top of the Sharkticon pit and after they are given orders to toss the condemned victim or victims into the pit, then pull the lever sending the victim to fall downwards into the pit where they are usually consumed by the Sharkticons. When Rodimus Prime travelled into the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, he saw that they had existed along with The Quintessons millions of years ago on Cybertron and were seen fleeing from Cybertron with The Quintessons after they had been driven away by their former slaves.
Deceased robots remains	Unknown	The Transformers: The Movie		N/A
After Hup and Hot Rod are captured by the Allicons and placed in the holding cells on the planet Quintessia, ruined robots remains of a few different colours are seen in the cells of both them and cell next to them that Kranix is in. Who these robots once were, and exactly why their remains were in the cells is unknown. They probably were destroyed by either and or the Allicons or Sharkticons while trying to escape though.
Teletraan I	None	More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1	Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5	Casey Kasem
Teletraan I is a semi-sentient computer that runs the Autobots' spaceship/base, the Ark. Teletraan I has extensive communications abilities and can monitor Earth's television and radio broadcasts to search for news that may be of interest to the Autobots, in addition to operating the Sky Shop. Teletraan I is presumably destroyed along with the Ark during the events of "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5".
Teletraan II	None	Thief in the Night	Grimlock's New Brain	Frank Welker
Teletraan II is a supercomputer constructed by the Autobots following the destruction of its predecessor, Teletraan I. It can be easily accessed from both Autobot City and Cybertron. Teletraan II has many roles and capabilities, including recording Autobot activities for later analysis and keeping educational files on both the Autobots and Decepticons.
TORQ III	None	Day of the Machines		Gregg Berger
TORQ III is an advanced supercomputer capable of controlling and building machines. It was created by American scientists at Quantum Laboratories. Megatron reprogrammed TORQ III and ordered the computer to take control of the facility until it was destroyed by Optimus Prime. Dr. Paul Gates decided not to reactivate TORQ III until he could make him completely tamper-proof.
The Quintessons	None	The Transformers: The Movie	The Return of Optimus Prime (Part 2)	Quintesson #1: Regis Cordic (Movie) Quinetesson #2: Roger C. Carmel (Movie) Quintesson #3: Jack Angel Quintesson #4: Tony Pope (in "The Big Broadcast of 2006", "The Quintesson Journal", and "The Return of Optimus Prime") Quintesson #5: Paul Eiding (in "The Quintesson Journal") Quintesson #6: Clive Revill (in "The Return of Optimus Prime") Quintesson Scientist: Dick Gautier (in "The Killing Jar")
The Quintessons are an ancient robotic alien race who once lived on Cybertron many ages ago and their goal is to re-claim it. While they lived there, they used it as a huge factory to produce several kinds of lifeforms, including robots, who eventually become the Transformers. Extremely self-serving and devious, they travel on beams of energy. Most Quintessons have five faces each with each face being its own individual.
Ancient Cyberton's military hardware and consumer goods robots	None	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 4)		N/A
Military hardware and consumer goods were created eons ago by the Quintessons when Cyberton was a factory. They were the ancient ancestors of the Autobots and Decepticons. They were used by the Quintessons for bad reasons. They developed emotions and drove the Quintessons away from Cybertron. The lived together peacefully for some time, but it did not last. The military hardware would go on to the being the Deceptions, while the consumer goods would become the Autobots.
Ghost and unknown robots	None	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 2)		N/A
While Rodimus Prime was seemingly near death, he sees a ghost with some sharp teeth, who makes a shrieking sound and four unknown robots who are different colours, one which has a shield and two of them which have claws instead of hands standing in a row, who then explode. Whoever these beings are is unknown.
Autobot Matrix of leadship Ancient leaders	None	The Burden Hardest to Bear		Unknown
While Rodimus Prime is on earth and racing with two Stunticons he then crashes. Then Stunticons then see the Autobot Matrix of leadship and remove it from him and travel back to their base on Charr and state that "Galvatron will love it". The Stunticons then give it to Decepticon leader Galvatron. When Galvatron inserts it into his fusion cannon, Ancient Autobot leaders including Optimus Prime appear, who keep telling him over and over to "Return the Matrix", which he says he will do, but does not.
Trannis	Early Cybertronian vehicle	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 4)		Unknown
Trannis is a violet coloured Decepticon warlord, whose job is to do lots of stuff, but be forgotten about when a more famous one shows up. The "early Decepticon leader" engaged on a campaign of conquest with his soldiers. Towards the end of the Second Cybertronian War, he was chased by some Autobot. The Decepticon leader used his lightning whip to knock his attacker off his motorcycle, but then that motorcycle crashed into his and made him fall off too. Before he even got up, Sentinel Prime jumped in and kicked the snot out of him.
The ASD-324-ddd-3e3c1 model Decepticons	Unknown	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 4)		Unknown
The ASD-324-ddd-3e3c1 model are a type of ancient Decepticons who formed the backbone of Decepticon forces in the generation prior to Megatron and Optimus Prime. This model first appeared during the brief period of Autobot-Decepticon harmony following the Quintesson departure from Cybertron 11 million years ago. With both groups free to pursue their own interests, the Autobots took up interpretive dance while the Decepticons practiced parade-drills and organized marching. Perhaps inevitably this got boring and the Decepticons decided to conquer the planet under Trannis. These soldiers formed the bulk of that army. These Decepticon soldiers carry a semi-automatic energy rifle with a single rocket mounted on top. They also sometimes use laser-guided rocket launchers for striking against fortified structures. These Decepticon soldiers remained in service until the invention of Transformation rendered them largely obsolete, a period of almost 2 million years.
Prima	Unknown	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 4)		Neil Ross
Prima was created from the corpse of another robot which the Quintessons deactivated for its underperformance in its tasks. The robot was instantly smelted down and reformed into Prima, who, through unknown circumstances, became the second documented bearer of the Matrix of Leadership. Prima was unusual amongst his consumer goods brethren in that he was equipped for combat, and was made to battle in the Quintessons' gladiatorial pits. He found the endless fighting repellent, and, after a battle with Sentinel Major, decided to strike back at his masters, leaping at the group of Quintessons that had been watching the match. He was blasted out of the air, and fell to the ground in a smoking wreck, apparently deceased. He was succeeded as Matrix-bearer by Prime Nova. When Rodimus Prime journeyed inside the Matrix, Prima was the second guide he encountered, and told him the story of the Quintessons gladiatorial matches.
Prime Nova	Unknown	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 4)		Milt Jamin
Prime Nova is the Matrix bearer after Prima. Prime Nova, or Nova Prime, succeeded Prima as bearer of the Matrix of Leadership through unknown circumstances, and went on to fight against the Quintessons in the robot uprising that ultimately forced the evil aliens off of Cybertron. It is unknown if he died during the rebellion or not, but by the time of the first Great War, he had been replaced as Autobot leader by Guardian Prime. When Rodimus Prime journeyed into the Matrix in 2005, Prime Nova was the third guide that he encountered. Prime Nova related to him the tale of the Quintessons' robots rise to true sentience and life, and their fight back against their alien masters.
Sentinel Prime	Early Cybertronian vehicle	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 4)		Jack Angel
Sentinel Prime is an imposing figure, standing head and shoulders over the average Autobot. Bristling with some of the most heavy-duty weapons and armor available to the Autobot army has instilled in Sentinel Prime a supreme confidence in his own abilities as both a leader and a fighter. Unfortunately such pride usually precedes a fall, and there will always be someone out there keen to prove a point, or who merely sees Sentinel Prime as an obstacle on the path to a bigger destiny. Sentinel Prime is typically, but not always, depicted as Optimus Prime's immediate predecessor as Autobot leader. Sentinel Major was originally one of the Quintessons' slave robots on Cybertron around twelve million years ago. Unusual among his consumer goods brethren, Sentinel Prime was equipped for combat and was forced to participate in gladiatorial games for the Quintessons' amusement, wielding a spiked ball-and-chain weapon and a tire-shaped shield. He was once defeated in battle by Prima, who attacked their Quintesson masters when their match was over, only to be destroyed himself. Subsequently, the consumer goods robots rose up against the Quintessons in a rebellion that ultimately forced the aliens off the planet. Sentinel Prime survived this clash, but he and the rest of his race—now dubbed "Autobots"—were robbed of any chance of peace when the military hardware robots, now known as "Decepticons", set their sights on conquering Cybertron for themselves. Two Autobot leaders fell during the war that ensued, and Sentinel Prime inherited the Matrix of Leadership and became Sentinel Prime, leader of the Autobots. Under his leadership, the Autobots realized that they would never be able to defeat the Decepticons with firepower, and they turned instead to stealth, reconfiguring their bodies to be able to transform into other forms. With the power of his new ability, Sentinel Prime defeated the Decepticons' leader, and the Autobots won the war. The ensuing period of peace was known as the Golden Age of Cybertron, but, around nine million years BCE, the Decepticon threat re-emerged when they too adopted transformation, and coupled it with robot-mode flight powers. One of the first of this new breed of Decepticons, the malevolent Megatron, killed Sentinel Prime in combat. As he died, he handed off the Matrix to Alpha Trion, who kept it safe until the emergence of the next Autobot leader, Optimus Prime. When Rodimus Prime journeyed into the Matrix in 2005, Sentinel Prime was the sixth guide he encountered. Sentinel Prime recounted the development of transformation, the Autobot victory in the war and the rise of Megatron.

These were not the same Constructions who later joined Megatron and formed Devastator. Their individual names and what became of them is unknown.
Zeta Prime	Unknown	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 4)		N/A
Zeta Prime inherited the Matrix of Leadership from Guardian Prime when he was killed during the early days of the war with the Decepticons. His stint as Autobot leader appears to have been a short-lived one, as he died before the end of the war and was succeeded by Sentinel Prime. When Rodimus Prime journeyed into the Matrix in 2005, Zeta Prime was the fifth guide he encountered, who gave a very short account of the continuing Autobot-Decepticon war.
Primon	Unknown	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 4)		Michael Bell
Primon, the "Alpha Prime", is one of the oldest known bearers of the Matrix. As he predated Prima, who is characterized as the first Transformer created on Cybertron, it is conceivable that he predates the planet itself. Primon was the earliest documented bearer of the Matrix of Leadership, but how he came to hold the talisman, and his activities during the Quintesson occupation of Cybertron, are unknown. He was succeeded as Matrix-bearer by Prima. When Rodimus Prime voyaged into the Matrix in 2005, Primon was the first guide the Autobot leader encountered. Primon related to him the story of the Transformers' creation by the Quintessons, and how they were endowed with sentience.
Vector Sigma	Corey Burton	None	The Key to Vector Sigma (part 1)	The Rebirth (Part 1)
Vector Sigma is an ancient and incredibly powerful super-computer that dwells many layers below the surface of Cybertron. It is guarded by Centurion droids. When it is activated it says the following "I am Vector Sigma, before Cybertron was, I was" and then asks why that it has been activated. After Megatron created the Stunticons out of stolen Earth vehicles, he then took them to Cybertron to have Vector Sigma give them life. He was told by Shockwave that Alpha Trion had the key that activated Vector Sigma, which Megatron and his Decepticons then stole and used to give the Stunticons life. Megatron and his Decepticons then returned to Earth with the key. The Autobots also went to Cybertron to stop the Decepticons, and created the Aerialbots out of ancient shuttles to combat the Stunticons. Since they did not have the key, Alpha Trion used his own hand to activate Vector Sigma and he ending up merging with it, separating from his robot body. On Earth, Megatron found that the key could turn things into metal, which he started doing. The key was later destroyed by Aerialbot leader Silverbolt in a battle that took place in Seattle, Washington, after which everything that had turned into metal changed back to its original form. How Vector Sigma could be activated after that is unknown, but Optimus Prime used the Matrix of Leadership to communicate with Alpha Trion, who was now a part of the super-computer.

Hailing from the Nalva System, the Arcadroids are spherical aliens who can tuck their legs up and roll along the ground. A group of Arcadroids took part in the first Galactic Olympics on Athenia in the year 2005. Apparently, the bookmakers favoured them in the downhill events.

Athenian beings	None	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 1)		Unknown
Beings on the planet athenia during the first Galactic Olympics are transformer-like robots who are seen in the audience during the car race between the Autobots. Also in the audience are multi-coloured humanoid aliens who are also doing the commentary for the race and are seen among Jazz after he wins the race.

Tornedron	Energy Monster	Call of the Primitives		Neil Ross
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.
Hauler	None	More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1		N/A

Seeker Acid Storm	Cybertronian spacecraft	Divide and conquer		N/A
Acid Storm is something of an oddity among the Decepticons. He's more than happy to stay buried in the ranks, a largely anonymous soldier among a sea of very similar bots, rather than try and make a big name for himself. This is somewhat baffling, as his intelligence, data gathering skills, charisma and ability to manipulate localized weather patterns to create acid rain could possibly propel him up the ranks. But for whatever reason, he stays in his role as one of the Rainmakers rather than striking out on his own.
Seeker Ion Storm	Cybertronian spacecraft	Divide and conquer		N/A
One of the formidable Rainmakers, Ion Storm is an electrokinetic, able to personally generate EMPs.
Seeker Nova Storm	Cybertronian spacecraft	Divide and conquer		N/A

Two "watchdogs" pursued them through the streets, but they were able to evade them by ducking into the hidden entrance to Wheeljack's lab.
Medicroids	None	Countdown to Extinction		N/A
Medicroids are medical drones used by the Decepticons. It is unclear how wide-ranging their skills are, but they are known to be capable of replacing human body parts with mechanical substitutes. The medicroids possibly could have done the job differently than they did, since Starscream had requested that when Arkeville was taken to the repair bay, he stated "the doctor must not have a chance to interfere again."
Autobot X	None	Autobot Spike		Don Messick and Corey Burton
Autobot X is an Autobot drone robot constructed from various spare parts by Sparkplug Witwicky who when was first activated had caused damage to Wheeljack's workshop. After Spike was severely injured by Megatron the only way to save him was to transfer his mind out of his body, at the recommendation of the doctors at Metro Hospital. Sparkplug and Wheeljack then arranged to transfer Spike's mind into Autobot X and the process had unstable results, however, and for a time, a confused Spike turned against the Autobots. Once Spike's body was healed, Wheeljack and Sparkplug successfully transferred Spike's mind back into his own body. After that Autobot X was never re-activated.
Nightbird	None	Enter the Nightbird		N/A
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 did not appear for the remainder of the animated series.

The Alligaticon is a Reptilicon drone made by the Constructicons from the remains of the disassembled Optimus Prime. In the sewers, the drone encountered the Autobots Ratchet, Hound, Mirage, and Bumblebee, who believed it to be a simple mindless beast. They tricked it into an abandoned train, where it got trapped and sent down the tracks. It was only later that they realized that Optimus Prime had been disassembled after encountering his head in the Decepticon base. Hound finally realized why his scanner kept picking up Prime when the Alligaticon attacked. They sought it again in the sewers, where they struggled to capture it until Prime used his remote controls to bring the beast in line. After that, Ratchet used the parts to reassemble Optimus Prime.

Nine million years ago Megatron approached a dockside warehouse, workplace of a young Autobot named Orion Pax, along with a fleet of his transport drones. After initially claiming he was simply looking for a place to "store his wares," once told that the site only stored energy, he dropped this pretense, and at his signal both transport drones and warriors transformed. After personally blasting both Orion and his girlfriend Ariel, he ordered the warriors to terminate the warehouse's other workers.

City-bots components

The following are components of Metroplex, Trypticon, Scorponok, and Fortress Maximus:

Name	Alternate mode	First & Last appearances		Voiced by
Scamper	Cybertronic six-wheels car	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 5)	The Ultimate Weapon	Dan Gilvezan
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.
Six-Gun	Metroplex Tower (Did not transform in cartoon)	Thief in the Night		Maurice LaMarche
The name Six-Gun is not 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.
Slammer	Nothing but only a Cybertronic tank in robot mode	Thief in the Night	The Ultimate Weapon	Chris Latta
Slammer, a drone controlled by Metroplex, does not do much. He is usually seen in the form of Metroplex's left rear tower, and is rarely seen in tank form.
Full Tilt	Cybertronic race car	Call of the Primitives		N/A
Full-Tilt is a Decepticon drone from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Brunt	Cybertronic tank	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.
Wipeout	Cybertronic car	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 Wipeout to do it. Wipe-Out serves Trypticon with an astonishing level of toadying sycophancy, layering on so many compliments that he actually irritates the giant with them.
Cerebros	Miniature Fortress Maximus/Head	The Rebirth (Part 1)	The Rebirth (Part 3)	Jered Baclay
Cerebros is the robot who transforms into Fortress Maximus' head, and is itself binary bonded to Spike Witwicky.
Lord Zarak	Head	The Rebirth (Part 2,3)		Stan Jones
Lord Mo Zarak is a powerful and corrupt Nebulan leader who transforms into the head of Scorponok.

Mini-Cassettes

Cassette warriors (or "Mini-Cassettes", or simply "Cassettes"or “Mini-Cons” like in Transformers Robots in disguise) 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 cannot 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.

Autobot Mini-Cassettes

Name	Alternate mode	First & Last appearances		Voiced by	Status
Eject	Cassette tape	The Transformers: The Movie	Madman's Paradise	N/A	Alive
An Earthen sports fanatic... sports cliches clutter his conversation; a surprise attack is a "fast break," a victory is a "touchdown." Few Autobots understand what he says, but they like the enthusiasm with which he says it. Could be a play-by-play announcer, if given the chance. In cassette mode, can monitor and record local radio and TV, decode scrambled signals, tap telephones. In robot mode, uses electrical overload guns. Sometimes his internal tape snaps when he is excited.
Rewind	Cassette tape	The Transformers: The Movie	Madman's Paradise	Townsend Coleman	Alive
Autobot trivia expert – his memory banks have amazing capacity to store data that is virtually of no use to anyone. Not much help when asked about something important. Internal light-matrix data store system has nearly infinite data storage capacity. Can turn into blinding beacon by releasing some of this light energy. Uses adhesion rifles that shoot unbreakable metal-bonding glue. Prone to severe cerebro-circuit overloads, what Earthlings call "headaches."
Ramhorn	Rhinoceros/Cassette tape	Scramble City	Call of the Primitives	John Hostetter	Alive
May smash people who touch him. Extremely territorial, nasty hair-trigger temper. Best way to deal with him is from a distance. His charge is virtually unstoppable – can knock a train off its tracks or upend an 18-wheeler with one blow. Has two batteries of three laser-guided, heat-seeking missiles that can lock in and hit a target up to twelve miles away. As cassette, can vibrate and destroy any equipment into which he is inserted.
Steeljaw	Lion/Cassette tape	Scramble City	The Return of Optimus Prime (Part 2)	Frank Welker (animal noises only)	Alive
When he is on the hunt, his prey is as good as caught. Determined, tenacious, coolly professional when on a mission. Likely to trace any scent. Range of 800 miles. Super-strong jaws – can snap a foot thick steel cable with one bite. Carries two solar-powered pellet guns that fire 1200 rounds per minute. Lack of sunlight hampers the guns' performance. Can electromagnetize himself in cassette mode. Prone to rusting.

Decepticon Mini-Cassettes

Name	Alternate mode	First & Last appearances		Voiced by	Status
Laserbeak	Condor/Cassette tape	More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1)	Web World	Chris Latta (animal noises only)	Alive
Laserbeak takes pleasure in hunting his prey – usually the straggling survivors of a battle. Noticeably cunning and cautious. Will run for safety if threatened. Flies at speeds up to 250 mph. Uses two independently targetable laser cannons with extreme precision to get information from captives. Shortage of ruby crystals that powers the lasers can panic his systems into shutting down.
Rumble	Cassette tape	More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1)	Five Faces of Darkness (Part 3)	Frank Welker	Alive
Rumble is your basic street punk. Small, but always acting tough. Quick temper and mean disposition. Follows Megatron's orders eagerly. Transmits immense low-frequency groundwaves to create powerful earthquakes. His small size limits his physical strength, but his ability to shatter the ground makes him difficult to approach in a fight.
Ravage	Black panther/Cassette tape	More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1)	Call of the Primitives	Frank Welker (animal noises only, with one exception)	Alive
Ravage operates best alone. A creature of the night. Craftiest of all Decepticons. Adept at devising deadly new strategies. Remains aloof from others, but his deeds command their respect. Can virtually escape detection – emits an electromagnetic emission shield, has a soundless walk, disappears in subdued light or shadow. Carries two powerful heat-seeking missiles. Light-sensitive. Can be blinded. Though his last appearance is Call of the Primitives, he appears as well in Beast Wars in a different form.
Frenzy	Cassette tape	Countdown to Extinction	The Transformers: The Movie	Frank Welker	Alive
If Frenzy needed to breathe, war would be his oxygen. He knows no cause, only craves to spread fear and destruction. His efforts are appreciated by other Decepticons. His devotion to warfare makes him hard to deal with on a personal level. Can roll his drums to produce a high-pitch, grating sound of 200db. Disorients and disrupts electrical flow in opponents circuitry which makes them malfunction. Physically weak. His manic attack can be countered with cool logic.
Buzzsaw	Condor/Cassette tape	Atlantis, Arise!	Auto Berserk	Chris Latta (animal noises only)	Alive
Civil and sophisticated yet very cruel and destructive. Approaches his lethal tasks like a fine artist. Each deadly mission is like working on a new masterpiece. Can pinpoint and photograph a thumbtack from 20 miles away. Flies at 250 mph. Carries twin mortar cannons. Diamond-hard, micro-serrated beak can carve up almost any opponent. Due to large ego, will often sulk rather than proceed if his plans go astray.
Ratbat	Bat/Cassette tape	Scramble City	The Return of Optimus Prime (Part 1)	Frank Welker (animal noises only)	Alive
Has no friends, only business partners... his only allegiance is to himself. Refuels by plunging his mecha-fangs into new cars' gas lines – the better made the car, the better the gasoline tastes. Maximum flying speed: 65 mph. Carries two radar-guided, free-electron lasers that detect the presence of an object as small as a fly. Wings contain mechanical sensors for locating fuel sources. Has one foot wingspan that can enlarge to ten feet. Wings are vulnerable to artillery.
Autoscout	Scout vehicle/Cassette tape	A Prime Problem		None	Dead
The Decepticon autoscout drone makes a very brief appearance and is seen after Soundwave ejected it into a crevice full of deadly radioactive korlonium crystals to observe them. Just as Megatron tells Soundwave not to let it make contact with the crystals, it picks one up, which causes it to explode.
Slugfest	Stegosaurus/Cassette tape	Call of the Primitives		Frank Welker	Alive
He is as slow and stupid as he looks. Plays back the messages he carries, thinks others are talking about him, goes into violent rages. End result is usually destruction of messages and nearby small towns that get in his way. In stegosaurus mode, plates on back, like teeth on a chainsaw, cut through almost any substance; carries two solar-powered vibro-cannons.
Overkill	Ceratosaurus/Cassette tape	Call of the Primitives		Frank Welker	Alive
Whether talking, terrifying, or attacking, he does everything to excess. So busy proving how tough he is by snapping cars in half between his jaws, that he forgets his mission. Can record data as a cassette, rip open the hull of a battleship as a dinosaur. Armed with two batteries of motion missiles—each reacts to any moving object bigger than a baseball and explodes on contact.
