Springer

Function: Wrecker Leader

A veteran Autobot commander, Springer led the elite Wreckers during the dying days of the Great War. Though his team was obliterated by Galvatron and Megatron during the Time Wars, with the emergence of the Cybertronian Empire he has begun rebuilding the team. Though he is weary of war and loss, Springer is a dedicated soldier and leader who will give his all for the Autobot cause. Battle has taken its toll though, and Springer is no longer the wisecracking rogue he once was.

Broadside

Function: Air & Sea Assault

Quite possibly the worst triple-changer ever, Broadside hates both of his alternate modes and tries to avoid using them whenever possible. A shell-shocked veteran, he's developed a pathological hatred of both flight and seafaring. He's brave and effective in a fight, but unless he's fighting in robot mode he can be expected to gripe and moan.

Carnivac

Function: Hunter/Tracker

As commander of the Mayhem Attack Squad, Carnivac disobeyed refused to kill Springer when both of their squads faced down against Galvatron and Megatron. Instead, he joined the Autobot to form a ragtag band of survivors. Though he misses his former comrades, Carnivac is a strongly moral creature who would sooner be exiled from his people than betray his convictions. The end of the war and the alliance that followed lead to uncomfortable encounters with former allies.

Hot Rod

Function: Cavalier

Young, brash, hard-headed and brave beyond measure, Hot Rod has all the makings of a hero. He's not there yet, though. His rash actions often put himself and others in danger, and his cocksure attitude is offputting to his more experienced comrades. Though his spot on the roster is well-deserved, it remains to be seen how long he can keep it -- or his life. In the meantime, though, he provides an element of reckless bravado that the team was built on in the early days.

Skids

Function: Theoretician

Skids is definitely the odd man out. Though he's been slightly unhinged by his years in limbo and he had to learn quickly how to defend himself from the monsters that followed him out, he is by no means an elite warrior. He is, however, a moderating influence on the team who keeps them from going too far over the edge. Skids himself would rather be observing aliens or drawing up equations, but he sticks by his friends.

Splashdown

Function: Naval Commander

An old seadog who's lived through a thousand battles, Splashdown is an experienced unit commander who requested a demotion in order to join the elite commando team. Though tactically brilliant, he is more comfortable at the sharp end of the spear that behind the lines giving orders. At home in any environment, he takes on many of the aquatic responsibilities that had previously fallen to Broadside.
