Autobots:
Optimus Prime
Alt.Mode: Truck
Prime Affinity: Primus
Function: All-Rounder
Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots, a pure-hearted warrior who fights for what he believes in. Prefers to not fight, but is a highly skilled warrior nonetheless. Is armed with an Ion Blaster and an Energon Axe. Optimus combines close up melee with decent ranged attacks, and can enter his truck mode for added speed.

Sideswipe
Alt.Mode: Sports Car
Prime Affinity: Vector Prime
Function: Reckless Driving
Sideswipe is the twin brother of Sunstreaker, and is just as capable as him in combat, though less destructive. Sideswipe is instead reckless, and is likely to cause damage to himself, though he takes his injuries in stride. Sideswipe is armed with a surprising arsenal of weaponry, including a sword, a missile launcher, a jetpack, and piston arms. He's capable at both long and close range combat, but is likely to take hits no matter what. His alternate mode is fast and has great traction, making it good for ramming into opponents, as well as saving his own skin in some places.

Wheeljack
Alt.Mode: Sports Car
Prime Affinity: Alpha Trion
Function: Gadgeteer
Wheeljack is the Autobots' scientist, and the term "mad" wouldn't be too off. While Wheeljack is friendly and caring, he has a tendency to build a variety of harmful devices. Wheeljack is also armed with a shoulder cannon capable of firing multiple different types of projectiles, and tends to use wrenches when melee happens. Certain modifications to his car mode have resulted in it gaining a flying mode as well. In battle, Wheeljack is capable of using a variety of odd gadgets, including his Immobilizer, which is capable of freezing opponents in place for a short time.

Windblade
Alt.Mode: VTOL Jet
Prime Affinity: Solus Prime
Function: Master of Skies and Swords
Windblade comes from the lost colony and sister planet of Cybertron, Caminus. She is gifted with the ability to speak to the Titan known as Metroplex, who forms the last habitable city on Cybertron. She believes in truth and justice, and has considerable sword skills. Her Stormfall Sword can create bursts of wind at her command, but she mostly uses it for direct combat. Windblade likes to get up and personal with her opponents, using her skilled sword techniques. However, her light weight means that continuous combat can be dangerous. Using her Stormfall Sword's wind gust technique, and her fast jet mode, she can knock opponents away and then get back into the fight. She is particularly effective in the air, and her vehicle attacks are designed to keep opponents there.

Ultra Magnus
Alt.Mode: Truck & Trailer/Futuristic Car
Prime Affinity: Micronus Prime
Function: Heavy Commander
Ultra Magnus, AKA Minimus Ambus, is an exceptionally small Transformer, who was gifted the armor of the legendary Ultra Magnus. This special authority granted to him, Ultra Magnus upholds the law to the letter. Those that don't will see why Ultra Magnus is so legendary. Ultra Magnus combines with his trailer in his robot mode, granting him an incredibly heavy body, and incredibly powerful weapons. However, while the armor can take a lot of damage, it will eventually break off, leaving Minimus Ambus to fend for himself. Minimus is far lighter, and one of the smallest in the roster. He makes up for this with fast attacks and some of the best speed of the roster as well.

Windcharger
Alt.Mode: Sports Car
Prime Affinity: Alchemist Prime
Function: Impatient Punisher
Windcharger could be one of the most skilled Autobot soldiers. He's incredibly fast, able to burst to speeds higher than any other Autobot in a few seconds, and has unique magnetic powers. Unfortunately, Windcharger is also impatient and impulsive, and his speed and magnetic abilities run on very limited energy supplies. If he underwent training, Windcharger could use his abilities to their fullest, but his stubborn personality refuses to. In battle, Windcharger can use both his magnetism and speed in short bursts, using both to get up and personal with opponents for a short while. He also has considerable grappling abilities thanks to his magnetism, and some of the fastest attacks in the game. However, if he overexerts, his powers start to become weaker.

Silverbolt
Alt.Mode: Jet
Prime Affinity: Nexus Prime
Function: Grounded Air Commander
Silverbolt is the leader of the Aerialbots, a group of jet Transformers who can combine together into Superion. Unfortunately for Silverbolt, he has a severe case of acrophobia, which also happens to be the reason why Optimus Prime put him in charge. With a crew to worry about, the brave, mature, and smart Silverbolt leads the Aerialbots effectively, putting his fear at the back of his mind. Silverbolt prefers to keep things grounded, having a few heavy hitting attacks, but also needs to be in the air for brief periods to build up electrostatic charge in his jet mode. This electrostatic can be fired from his gun as powerful blasts that can stun opponents. Silverbolt has a number of attacks to drag airborne opponents back to the ground.

Grimlock
Alt.Mode: Robotic T-Rex
Prime Affinity: Onyx Prime
Function: Me Grimlock King!
Grimlock is one of the Dinobots, a group of Transformers that turn into robotic dinosaurs. Grimlock is a simple robot, preferring action to words, action to thinking, and action to most everything else in life. He's a destructive force of nature who can send even the bravest of the Decepticons running. He has somewhat of a bad streak, however, going against the commands of higher ups, and has sometimes attempted to usurp leadership from Optimus Prime. The good thing is that he isn't particularly bright. Grimlock wields a large sword, and is a considerably heavy, hard-hitting and slow character. He can spend equal amounts of time in his robot and beast modes, both of which have their own attacks. Overall, Grimlock prefers to be in combat rather than out of it.

Springer
Alt.Mode: Futuristic Sports Car/Futuristic Helicopter
Prime Affinity: Amalgamous Prime
Function: War Hero
Springer is brave, self-confident, and a combat expert, an absolutely perfect soldier who's only flaw is the horrors of war itself. Springer is the leader of the Wreckers, who go on suicidal, dangerous missions, and he's arguably a perfect leader. He is still haunted by previous war tragedies, and his own past, however. Springer has great jumping powers, is skilled with a sword, and has two alternate modes. Springer prefers to get up close with opponents, and can speedily zip through the air and the ground, letting him catch opponents easily.

Bumblebee
Alt.Mode: Sports Car
Prime Affinity: Quintus Prime
Function: Scout
Bumblebee is, even among Autobots, friendly. He makes friends easily, even with other species, and is a long time friend of Optimus Prime himself. Bumblebee also has a spunky attitude, and likes to get things done, though he does understand his own limits. Bumblebee is a small, speedy character built around getting close and landing in hits. He fights mainly with melee attacks, and especially makes good use out of his car mode.

Getaway
Alt.Mode: Futuristic Sports Car
Prime Affinity: Liege Maximo
Function: The Once and Always Backstabber
Getaway is an escape artist known for getting out of trouble only using his words. He has a severe inferiority complex, combined with ego issues that make him untrusting of everyone around him. He has a tendency to backstab most beings he meets, and has resorted to extreme methods to make sure he gets his way. Getaway likes to move in and out of action using light and fast attacks to wrack up damage, before quickly getting out in his car mode. He uses a Nudge Gun that is capable of erasing the memories of others, leaving them temporarily stunned. This, combined with his car mode's speed, makes getting away very easy.

Whirl
Alt.Mode: Helicopter
Prime Affinity: Megatronus
Function: Airborne Madman
Whirl is a member of the Wreckers, a squad of Autobots who take on near suicidal missions. Whirl, despite his intelligence at first glance, uses utter chaos as his main combat strategy. While he claims it's simply a good strategy, he hides a darker, more violent side in plain sight. Whirl can take to the air in his helicopter mode, and unleash a spray of projectiles while flying around. He can quickly shift between each mode, which allows him to play mix-up and trick his enemies. Keeping things unpredictable is what Whirl does best, and a sign of weakness or redundancy can lead to problems.


Decepticons:
Megatron
Alt.Mode: Tank
Prime Affinity: Megatronus
Function: Hard Hitter
The leader of the Decepticons, a cruel warlord who once fought for a purpose, but lost his way. Megatron primarily uses his Fusion Cannon and Energon Flail in combat, and can turn into an armored tank. Megatron uses slow attacks, but they all pack an incredible punch to them. His tank mode attacks also have a minor form of armor, protecting him during approaches.

Starscream
Alt.mode: Jet
Prime Affinity: Liege Maximo
Function: The Starscream
Starscream is the Decepticon second in command, a position many have wondered how he received. A sniveling, egotistical coward, Starscream will take any chance he can get in order to usurp Megatron and gain power. Starscream will usually get into combat, at least for a bit, but will usually make a quick getaway when the going starts getting tough. His Null Rays are fast firing and capable of disorientating opponents for a bit, perfect for quick ins and outs. His jet mode's remarkable speed also helps with this, and its aerial capabilities can help Starscream attack even from above.

Iguanus
Alt.Mode: Futuristic Motorcycle
Prime Affinity: Quintus Prime
Function: The Outside that Counts
Iguanus is a Pretender, a type of Transformer that can take on an organic shell, hiding their true, mechanical bodies within. Even among the already odd assortment of Decepticon Pretenders, Iguanus is an oddball. He's fallen in love with his shell's appearance, and spends most of his time in it, rather than outside of it. Because of this vanity, Iguanus has become incredibly easy to offend, whether it be through words or through just harming his shell. In combat, Iguanus spends almost all of his time in his shell, with only a handful of vehicle based moves compared to most other characters. He uses the shell's considerable acrobatic prowess to his advantage. If Iguanus takes enough damage, his speed and attack power can increase.

Blitzwing
Alt.Mode: Tank/Jet
Prime Affinity: Amalgamous Prime
Function: Air to Ground and Back Again
Blitzwing is a triple changer, Transformers capable of turning into two different vehicles as well as a robot. Blitzwing isn't very smart, but he's cruel and immature, making him a perfect Decepticon bruiser. He has powers over ice and fire, depending on which mode he's in. Blitzwing is capable of swift air to ground traversal, and vice versa, making him decent at any altitude. He's also very heavy, and can hit hard, especially while grounded. he can also activate fire and ice modes for his vehicle based attacks, which grant added boosts while also damaging himself.

Gnaw
Alt.Mode: Shark Beast
Prime Affinity: Onyx Prime
Function: Voracious Predator
Gnaw is a Sharkticon, a species of Transformers who turn into robotic shark-like beasts. While he managed to befriend the Autobot Wheelie, Gnaw is still violent and capable of biting through even the toughest of metals. Gnaw spends most of his time in his beast mode, and uses its large jaws to scoop up and eat things, as well as bite onto opponents. His bite is powerful enough that he can latch onto opponents and drain their health for a short period. He can also use his mace-like tail as well. Gnaw only goes into his robot mode when he eats enough, and can deal even more damage then.

Scrapper
Alt.Mode: Front Loader
Prime Affinity: Nexus Prime
Function: Army of Builders
Scrapper is the leader of the Constructicons, construction-themed Decepticons who can combine into the mighty Devastator. In an odd move for the Decepticons, Scrapper isn't the leader because he's the strongest, far from it, he's actually the leader because of his genius architectural skills. Scrapper is incredibly modest about his work, however. Despite this, Scrapper also enjoys incorporating the corpses of Autobots into his designs. In battle Scrapper isn't incredibly strong or fast, but he can call on the other Constructicons to help shape the battlefield around him, putting himself at better advantages, or even potentially trapping opponents. His alternate mode is capable of helping as well, and has additional uses when grappling.

Skywarp
Alt.Mode: Jet
Prime Affinity: Alchemist Prime
Function: Brute with a Trick
Skywarp is one of the Seekers, alongside the other Decepticon jets. Out of all of them, Skywarp is potentially the dumbest, and completely useless when attempting complex plans while on his own. However, Skywarp is a thug through and through, and loves to prank whoever happens to be nearby, usually in cruel ways. This isn't helped by Skywarp's ability to teleport instantaneously, something he is only capable of doing, thankfully. Skywarp, of the Seekers, is the slowest, not just mentally. Even in jet mode he's rather slow, which is helped by his teleportation ability. Using his teleporting power, Skywarp can circumvent this speed issue to either move in for a direct assault, or go in from behind to potentially push opponents down stairs. His teleporting also works as a quick getaway, which he won't need considering his weight and heavy attacks, though he is capable of teleporting while performing attacks.

Overlord
Alt.Mode: Tank/Jet
Prime Affinity: Micronus Prime
Function: The Giga and Mega Warrior
Overlord is an infamous Decepticon criminal, known for his incredible brutality. Overlord is a large "fan" of Megatron, specifically in all the ways Megatron is violent and cruel. Overlord tries his best to top this, and is considered potentially more dangerous and unstable than the Decepticon leader himself. He is partnered with two Powermasters named Giga and Mega. Overlord's stats and attacks change depending on which Powermaster he has equipped at the time. Giga has him at relatively average weight, while having him turn into a jet and becoming more aerial based. Mega has Overlord turn into a tank, giving him stronger attacks with lower speeds, and making him best on the ground. In either mode, one of Overlord's preferred attacking methods is via grappling, which makes it very easy for him to dismember his opponents.

Bludgeon
Alt.Mode: Tank
Prime Affinity: Solus Prime
Function: Honorable Warrior
Bludgeon's menacing appearance hides both an honorable warrior unfitting of it, and a brutal monster who leaves no opponent unscathed. A master of the martial art of Metallikato, Bludgeon prefers to use his blade rather than his tank mode's heavy weaponry. Despite his bulkiness, Bludgeon proves himself quick and agile, something he needs for his constant rushing in on opponents. Bludgeon's blades can cut through most anything, but are particularly good at cutting through metal itself. Bludgeon attacks using a variety of sword based moves, combined with the occasional burst of firepower from his cannons. Bludgeon is also capable of creating sticky traps, and can coat himself in oil to get out of close situations.

Shockwave
Alt.Mode: Laser Gun
Prime Affinity: Alpha Trion
Function: Calculating Controller
Shockwave is the head scientist of the Decepticons, and while he might initially appear to be loyal to Megatron, he wishes to take control of the Decepticons and fulfill his own desires. Shockwave has had all emotions removed, and is only able to consider things logically, though occasional bouts of emotion seep through. Shockwave controls the arena as best he can, using his gun mode's long range to attack from afar, while also being able to create dangerous sections of ground. Shockwave desires control, logically the most powerful thing in this sort of battle.

Scourge
Alt.Mode: Futuristic Hovercraft
Prime Affinity: Vector Prime
Function: Sweeper
Scourge is one of the minions of the crazed Galvatron. Him and his partner, Cyclonus, were saved by Galvatron and were soon indebted to him. Scourge is partnered with an army of clones of himself, called the Sweeps. He is a master huntsman and capable of tracking down anyone or anything. Despite his skill, Scourge is perfectly fine with taking orders - though he will usually grumble and complain about it. In combat, Scourge uses the laser on his head, and his claws to attack. He is also capable of summoning the Sweeps to assist him in fights, and can command them during combat. His hovercraft mode is fast both in the air and on the ground, though Scourge won't use it to attack that often.

Thundercracker
Alt.Mode: Jet
Prime Affinity: Primus
Function: Seeker
Thundercracker is one of the Decepticon jets, and one of the few Decepticons who isn't entirely convinced in the Decepticon cause. Thundercracker prefers not harming innocents, something both sides cause, but also has a distaste for anything that can't fly. Ultimately, his feelings on the war caused him to become unaffiliated with either side. He currently lives on Earth and is attempting to become a writer. He also has a pet dog named Buster. Thundercracker is still capable of combat, and is armed with missiles, incendiary guns, and can create sonic booms at will. Thundercracker prefers to remain airborne, and has added air-dashing capabilities while in robot mode.
