Mega Galvatron

Decepticon Supreme Overlord

Decepticon Sixchanger

Motto: "Defeat is not an option - the universe will fall before me!"

Profile: As the result of a bizarre accident caused by an attempted take-over by Shockwave, Megatron and his parallel-universe counterpart, Galvatron, were fused together into a single being, connected on the physical, mental and spiritual levels. Recovered by Cyclonus and Scourge, the damaged remains were carefully reconstructed by Hydrus IV nucleon and Bersalis nanotechnology into Mega Galvatron. He embodies everything that made Megatron and Galvatron the beings they were, powered up to an incredible degree. Cruel, ruthless and merciless, he is completely without compassion or pity for those around him. He is now truly the ultimate culmination of Decepticon evolution, and nothing will stand in the way of his conquest of existence! His arrogance and confidence are boundless. A cold and calculating strategic and tactical genius, coupled with sheer bloodthirsty madness and an undying lust for destruction makes him the biggest threat the Autobots have ever faced. Do not cross him and expect mercy, whoever you are. He is virtually unstoppable.

Abilities: Mega Galvatron's physical shell is far superior to either of his components' forms in every way. In robot mode, his armoured hide is virtually impenetrable. He is nearly ten times stronger than Galvatron, but this strength can increase fivefold as his rage increases, tapping into the same singularity power source Megatron had access to, but with much greater control and precision: to Megatron, the singularity was a constant battle for control, but for Mega Galvatron accessing its power is second nature. Even in robot form, he can achieve flight speeds in excess of Mach 1. His extendable claws can decapitate an opponent, and his twin energon sabres are deadly weapons. The twin high-energy particle-accelerator cannons on his forearms can completely vaporise over 50 of an average Cybertronian opponent's body at full strength from a distance of 100 yards, while the fusion cluster bomb launchers on his wings can fire a self-guided high-yield nuclear projectile to a range of 1000 miles. His most deadly weapon, however, is a devastating emitter assembly in his chest unit which can channel the full strength of his singularity-taps into a devastating gravitomagnetic force pulse which can penetrate the crust of a planet to several dozen miles. In assault cruiser form he is an aerial battle station, floating over the battlefield up to an altitude of 50,000 feet with an arsenal of particle cannons, fusion cluster bomb launchers and energon lances. He possesses over-the-horizon radar systems, lock-target full spectrum scanners and long-range communications systems for remotely directing the battle. He can also use his gravitomagnetic force cannon in this mode, which fires from the belly of the cruiser at the ground directly below and can annihilate entire moons with a single firing. This form is not built for speed, but can reach Mach 2 at a push. In his cannon form, his twin forward-mounted particle cannons can vaporise a 12 foot thick block of solid titanium-steel from a distance of 2 miles and he can travel over any terrain at speeds approaching 80 MPH. As a dragon, his claws and teeth are diamond-coated, serrated and razor-sharp, able to slice through most metals like butter. He can fly at speeds up to Mach 2, and charge at a top speed of 150 MPH. His fusion-powered plasma breath can slag Cybertronian armour in seconds and the energon lances on his tail unit can slice through enemy forces to devastating effect. In laser pistol mode he is at his most vulnerable, shrunken as he is to be carried by a fellow Decepticon, but is the most powerful hand-weapon on Cybertron, able to vaporise 50 of an opponent with a single shot. His final mode is an advanced aerospace fighter, powered by gravitic engines and gravitomagnetic repellers to give excellent speed and agility in atmosphere or vacuum. He can reach Mach 20 in atmosphere and 0.1c in space. He possesses a trans-warp core for faster-than-light interstellar travel with a range of 1000 light years. He can accommodate up to 2 fellow Decepticons in his cockpit thanks to Cybertronian subspace technology. He is armed with twin particle cannons running along his fuselage, twin fusion cluster bomb launchers on his wings and nose-mounted energon lances. Defensive shields in all modes add to his resistance to enemy attack.

Weaknesses: Mega Galvatron has no known weaknesses.

Optimus Prime

Autobot Commander

Autobot ex-Powermaster

Motto: "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."

Profile: Sage, scholar, soldier... Optimus Prime is all this and more. Across the civilised galaxy, the revered leader of the Autobots is the living symbol of freedom. To his followers he is the well of inspiration and courage from which they draw their strength, unyielding in his resolve to prevent Decepticon tyranny from spreading across the galaxy and determined to protect all they threaten. Without a doubt, he is the greatest Autobot in living memory - a natural leader, strategist and warrior coupled with the wisdom and compassion of a true visionary. The fourth Autobot to bear the sacred life force of their god Primus, the Creation Matrix, all the wisdom and learning of Autobot culture is available to him, and he wields this responsibility with knowledge and reverence. Above all things, Optimus Prime craves peace - a peace stolen from the Autobots by the Decepticon uprising that occurred during Prime's youth. At that time, he was a naive young dock worker named Orion Pax, and was almost killed by Megatron's treachery. Rebuilt by the ageing Alpha Trion, he vowed to stop Megatron's destructive conquest even if it meant his own life - a life which has been given on several occasions only to be reborn to continue the fight. Having been fused on a molecular level with his old Powermaster partner Hi-Q, Prime is more determined than ever to stop the new Decepticon Empire from plunging the galaxy into chaos.

Abilities: Optimus Prime's new battle-ready reformat is superior to his earlier body shells in almost every way. In robot mode, Prime is more than a match for any enemy. With virtually impregnable alloy armour, he is impervious to even heavy artillery fire. Armed with shoulder-mounted high-yield concussion missile launchers, forearm-mounted particle cannon doublets, and twin atom-smasher rifles, all of which can be powered directly from his nanite-regulated engines, he can decimate enemy forces. The battle station module formed from his trailer can take the battle to the air thanks to its gravitomagnetic repellers. It can reach speeds approaching Mach 2 and hover stationary over the battlefield. With launch and landing facilities for several Autobot aircraft it can also serve as a mobile staging post. It is armed with four antiaircraft fusion cannon turrets, twin air-to-ground concussive fragment missile launchers, twin ground-assault atom-smasher cannons, twin solar-flare blasters and a giant long-range assault X-ray laser cannon which can decimate a whole enemy fleet. In truck form, he can reach 210 MPH, and boosted by his nanite-regulated engine can reach 300 MPH for several hours. Heavily armoured, and armed with side-mounted atom-smasher cannons on his trailer, he is an unstoppable juggernaut of war. He can fuse with the trailer to form an even stronger super warrior mode. This super warrior form is a behemoth. With superior strength, speed and agility, as well as gravitomagnetic repellers for flight, he is a match for any enemy. He is virtually invulnerable and is armed to the teeth. He can utilise twin concussive fragment missile launchers on his shoulders, twin atom-smasher cannons on his forearms, solar-flare blaster rifles, particle cannon doublets at sides of his chest, and dual fusion cannons on each leg. His intelligence is also without measure. His strategic, logic and programming skills have no equal.

Weaknesses: The only weakness he could be accused of having is compassion and concern for the safety of others. He would be a more effective military commander if he were more ruthless, but then he wouldn't be Optimus Prime.

Oblivion

Techno-mystic

Devourist Triplechanger

Motto: "That which does not support me shall not infest the Great Void!"

Profile: Not even the unleashed energies of the Creation Matrix can halt the timeless force of chaos which is Unicron. As the Autobots rebuilt Cybertron under the command of the rejuvenated Optimus Prime, Unicron built his strength secretly within the Astral Plain, waiting for an opportunity to avenge himself. Working through his Quintesson worshippers, he first resurrected the Decepticon Empire from its ashes to distract the Autobots. Then using a body created by his Quintesson servants, he recorporealised in Cybertronian form, becoming Oblivion. Every bit as cruel, remorseless and unyielding as before, thirst for vengeance against the Matrix and its Autobot creations drives him, though his long-term goals remain the same. And he knows with certainty that one day his power will be restored and Cybertron will be the first planet to feed his hunger.

Abilities: In the form of Oblivion, Unicron is little different to other Transformers in his physical abilities. He possesses surprising strength, at least comparable to Optimus Prime, as well as incredible speed, agility and endurance. In robot mode, his appearance is unlike his destroyed planet-sized form but can still strike fear into the heart of anyone who sees him. In fact, some might say he appears even more monstrous. The claws on his hands and feet can shred inch thick steel and his punch can penetrate through 2" of solid titanium. The horns on his shoulders and elbows can disembowel an opponent. The wings which emerge from his back emit a dampening field that can absorb any force or weapon directed at them and channel that power into Oblivion's own resources. Twin atom-smasher cannons on his forearms can level a 20 storey building, and cutting lasers in his optics can slice a 6' steel block in two with one pass. He can fly at Mach 1, but the rockets on his back can double this speed for short distances. He carries a combination sonic/laser sword with which he can devastate enemy forces. In demon mode, his strength is 10 times greater than as a robot, and his fusion-powered plasma-breath can slag another Transformer at close range. He can fly at Mach 1 and leap up to 5 miles at a time. His claws and horns are as deadly as they are in robot form, and add razor-sharp fangs and tusks. In fighter form, his gravitic engines and gravitomagnetic repellers give him tremendous speed and manoeuvrability both in atmosphere and in vacuum: he can manoeuvre in atmosphere up to Mach 20, and in space to 0.1c. He is armed with cutting lasers, atom-smasher cannons, fusion cannons, and high-yield plasma-pulse missiles. He possesses functional cloak and defensive shields. In all modes, he possesses internal space-time teleportation systems which allow him to transport both himself and other objects near-instantaneously across distances of up to 1000 light years. Although weakened by the destruction of his planet body, and his imprisonment within the Matrix, he still possesses tremendous psychic and psionic abilities: he can read the thoughts of lesser beings with ease and can reform matter to his will, and as time passes he continues to regain the power he has lost.

Weaknesses: While formidable, the Oblivion shell is nowhere near as powerful as Unicron's previous form, but with Unicron's psionic abilities growing, the form of Oblivion will no doubt continue to be improved.

Rodimus Prime

Protector of Cybertron / Avatar of Primus

Autobot

Motto: "Experience is the benchmark of maturity."

Profile: Rodimus Prime is the mature, Matrix-infused persona of Hot Rod, but the burden of the immensity of his destiny still sits heavily on his young shoulders. For years after the battle against Unicron in which Optimus Prime apparently destroyed the Chaos Bringer by releasing the power of Creation Matrix within him, Hot Rod had felt like something wasn't sitting right inside of him. Like he had missed something important. And he could never tell what it was that troubled him. Only when Optimus Prime took him on his spiritual journey of Cybertron did Hot Rod begin to realise the enormity of his destiny. When Mega Galvatron defeated Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus in combat, Hot Rod summoned the power of Creation Matrix into his spark, and through it became Rodimus Prime, the true Avatar of Primus and protector of Cybertron. Rodimus Prime speaks with the savvy of a seasoned veteran. He can be hot-headed at times - he has a tendency to act first and ask questions later. Rodimus Prime's sole purpose is the protection of all life.

Teamwork: 6

Loyalty: 9

Abilities: Rodimus Prime is virtually unstoppable. Fuelled by the immense power of the Creation Matrix and the will of Primus, Rodimus Prime is a warrior unequalled in strength, power and near invulnerability. Through the Matrix, he has access to all the strategic and tactical knowledge of the Primes before him, as well as all the great wisdom and knowledge of the All-spark to which Creation Matrix connects. He is still learning the immense depth of this knowledge, but is coming to realise what being a Matrix Bearer really signifies. In robot mode, he is armed with six forearm-mounted fusion cannons, twin atom-smasher rifles, and twin shoulder-mounted plasma cannons. In his heavy assault wagon form, he can reach speeds in excess of 600 MPH over any terrain and is heavily armoured. He utilises hood-mounted plasma cannons and side-mounted atom-smasher cannons. The rear cargo modules of his wagon mode opens up into an assault platform when he assumes robot mode, equipped with a double-barrelled hyper-matter blaster cannon that can vaporise the wall of a Decepticon fortress with a single shot, as well as a defensive force-field and search and rescue equipment in the side modules.

Weaknesses: Rodimus Prime is invulnerable to any attack so long as he possesses the Matrix, though his compassion for other living creatures can be turned against him by a ruthless opponent, especially his soft-spot for Arcee.

Starstrike

Decepticon Aerospace Commander

Decepticon 2nd Generation Seeker / Ultra Pretender

Motto: "Conquest is made in the ashes of ones enemies."

Profile: Ruthless, cold-blooded, calculating and arrogant were all traits the Decepticon Starscream had in droves. A desire for power had driven him for many years, and it was this desire for power that brought him to Oblivion. Starscream had plotted with Soundwave to discover exactly who/what the mysterious non-Cybertronian Transformer known as Oblivion was. Though Soundwave was destroyed by Oblivion, Starscream discovered the truth. Recognising the power that a being such as Unicron could bestow, he approached Oblivion. Swearing that in return for power he would destroy Cybertron itself as well as the Autobots, Oblivion rebuilt the Seeker commander into Starstrike. More powerful, more cunning, more devious and utterly devoid of morals, Starstrike thirsts for power like his fellow Decepticons thirst for energon. He will stop at nothing to attain that power, and despite his outward loyalty to his creator, he one day wishes to destroy even Unicron and take all the Chaos Bringer's power for himself.

Teamwork: 6

Loyalty: 2

Abilities: In robot mode, Starstrike's strength is even a match for Mega Galvatron, though he hides it well to avert the overlord's watchful eye while he prepares to strike. He can reach air speeds of Mach 2 in robot form, thanks in part to the gravitic jets on his back. As well as incredible physical strength, Starstrike is armed with forearm-mounted high-yield plasma cluster bomb launcher doublets and has plasma exhausts in the palms of his hands which can slag enemy armour at close range. As well as this, the wing modules attached to his shoulders can be detached and transformed into twin sonic swords. He also possesses twin shoulder-mounted high-yield null ray cannons which can overload any electronic system within 1000 yards of the target. He transforms into an advanced aerospace fighter powered by four gravitic thrusters which give him a top speed of Mach 16. Gravitomagnetic repellers provide him with excellent manoeuvrability. He is armed with twin dorsal null ray cannons and four ventral plasma cluster bomb launchers. His wings are razor sharp and diamond-hard and can slice clean through a 12 foot thick block of titanium steel. His inner Pretender shell can switch from a humanoid warrior mode, to an advanced aerial gun-ship. In warrior mode, the shell's armour is impervious to almost all non-nuclear weaponry, and it can boost Starstrike's strength fivefold. It is armed with twin dual-barrelled null ray rifles, a dual bladed energo-sword, and a powerful deflecto-shield. It also possesses shoulder-mounted dual concussion cannon ports. In its gun-ship mode, it is even more deadly. Powered by gravitic engines, it can reach speeds approaching Mach 16 in atmosphere, Mach 30 when Starstrike is inside, and can reach warp speeds in vacuum. As well as being heavily armoured, it is armed with twin dual-barrelled null ray cannons under the wings, four under-slung plasma cluster bomb launchers, twin dual concussion cannon ports flanking the cockpit and dorsal particle cannons. It can hover stationary over a target, and accelerate to tremendous speeds in seconds. Starstrike's outer shell takes the form of a heavily-armoured assault racer. Starstrike can either bond with the racer within his inner shell, or can pilot it directly from the one-man driver's cockpit. Capable of top speeds in excess of 600 MPH and tremendous manoeuvrability, it is also impervious to almost anything an opponent can throw at it. Its reinforced tyres provide traction on any surface. Armed with forward-mounted serrated blades for ploughing through enemy forces, a dorsal triple null ray turret, remote cluster mines, forward-mounted fragment missile launchers, lateral plasma blasters, and a powerful force-field generator, the racer is virtually unstoppable.

Weaknesses: As always, even in his new form, Starstrike's weakness is arrogance. Though his new form is more than a match for all but the most powerful opponents, it has given him an over-inflated sense of his own ability, a sense which leads him to take impossible risks.

Ultra Magnus

Autobot Field Commander

Autobot

Motto: "Consistency is victory!"

Profile: Ultra Magnus is all soldier. Created by Emirate Xaaron as a symbol of all that Autobots stand for, he is virtually unstoppable in battle, and tempered by the strategic and tactical genius of the greatest Autobot generals, and the wisdom and fairness of their greatest scholars. His design is based on the ancient blueprints of Optimus Prime himself, given to Autobot command by the old engineer Alpha Trion during the dark days of the Autobot resistance movement. Though designed for command, he is most comfortable when following orders, giving it his all, and is uncomfortable when the mantle of leadership is placed on his shoulders. He sees himself as a follower, not a leader. When he does lead, however, he is resolute, courageous and fanatically fair. He is quite willing to lay down his life for the good of his companions.

Strength: 10

Rank: 10

Courage: 9

Teamwork: 10

Loyalty: 10

Abilities: Ultra Magnus' strength is a rival to that of Optimus Prime himself. In either mode, his hull is virtually impervious to artillery fire. His logic centres and tactical processors give him split-second strategic reactions, making him a terrible foe on the battlefield. In robot mode, Magnus is virtually immovable by force. Upgraded tactically following the latest outbreak of Decepticon hostility, he possesses a formidable arsenal. He carries two double proton missile launchers on his upper arms with an effective range of 30 miles, twin shoulder-mounted ground-to-air rocket launchers with an explosive force of 10 tons of TNT and able to down a jet at an altitude of 100,000 feet, deployable heat-seeking missile racks in his shoulders, each equipped with 10 warheads, and forearm-embedded concussion missile batteries with 6 warheads per arm. He also carries twin dual-barrelled photon blaster-rifles. He assumes the form of an Earthen articulated car transporter. The vehicle has a top speed of 130 MPH over good terrain, though cannot maintain its full speed on rough terrain. In this mode, he can carry up to 200 tons of cargo (or Autobot troops) on his transporter decks and is armed with his proton missile launchers and ground-to-air rocket launchers.

Weaknesses: Ultra Magnus' only weakness is his own self-doubt. He continually questions his true value to the Autobot cause, and when leadership is placed on his shoulders he can feel swamped with the responsibility.
