[Blitzwing]

Name: Optimus Prime
Faction: Autobot
Function: Autobot Leader
Motto: As a team, we can accomplish anything.
Cybertronian Alt Mode: Truck
Earth Alt Mode: Fire Truck

Character Profile
A young (by Cybertronian standards) commander of a ragtag and largely inexperienced group of misfit AUTOBOTS. He's a born leader, a natural tactician, a dedicated never-say-die fighter and a master of improvisation in the face of adversity. Unassuming, humble, friendly and cheerful, Prime comes across as 'The Bot Next Door.' He takes his mission and his men with the utmost seriousness, but is still able to relate to them as a regular guy. He's not the kind of leader who needs to bark orders to command respect (besides, he's got RATCHET to do that for him).

Robot Mode Power: OPTIMUS PRIME has the ability to change any part of his robotic body into a tool or gadget. His arsenal includes a jet-powered axe, grappler and fire extinguisher.

******************************

Name: Ratchet
Faction: Autobot
Function: Medic
Motto: Unknown
Cybertronian Alt Mode: Catepilla-Tred Medical Transport
Earth Alt Mode: Tactical Medical Response Vehicile

Character Profile
Short-tempered, grizzled and seemingly older than the ALLSPARK itself, RATCHET is the team's medic and OPTIMUS PRIME's occasional drill sergeant / second-in-command. He's an expert healer, but his bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired. Spend two minutes with RATCHET and you instantly get the sense that this bot's seen it all. RATCHET largely keeps his past to himself, dishing out tantalizing tidbits when he feels the 'kids' can handle, or NEED to handle, some of the truth.

Robot Mode Power: RATCHET has magnetic powers. He can attract and repel any metallic matter or create magnetic force fields. He also uses these powers as the team?s medic, reshaping metal and circuitry, patching up any of the AUTOBOTS in the field. His talents also make him the team's gadget-head. He can configure any tech they need and even perform robot/vehicle upgrades for all the AUTOBOTS.

**************************

Name: Prowl
Faction: Autobot
Function: Spy
Motto: Through stillness you will find truth
Cybertronian Alt Mode: Unknown
Earth Alt Mode: Police Motorcycle

Character Profile
PROWL is dark, sleek, agile, mysterious, and the ninja of the team. He speaks only when he has to, and even then as briefly as possible. Of all the AUTOBOTS, he's the most skilled in direct combat. A natural spy, PROWL can infiltrate most any location unseen and unheard, so he's used for reconnaissance more than any other Autobot. He is a bot of very little talk and much action. He's unflappable, precise and has developed a keen interest in organic life.

Robot Mode Power: PROWL is an expert in camouflaging himself. He can turn virtually any object into a weapon. He also has keener senses - higher rez everything - than the other AUTOBOTS.

*********************************

Name: Bumblebee
Faction: Autobot
Function: Speedster
Motto: Enough talk. It's time for action.
Cybertronian Alt Mode: Unknown
Earth Alt Mode: Combat Police Detective Car

Character Profile
The 'kid' of the team, easily the youngest and the least mature of the AUTOBOTS. He's over-eager, over-confident and constantly overcompensating for his diminutive stature. Fast-talking, wise-cracking, scheming and hyperactive, BUMBLEBEE is not nearly as cool as he imagines himself to be. Then again, nobody could possibly be as cool as BUMBLEBEE imagines himself to be. He's a total showoff, always acting on impulse and rarely considering the consequences. And he's always getting in way over his head, although most things are way over his head. But don't mention that to BUMBLEBEE; he's very sensitive about his height.

Robot Mode Power: BUMBLEBEE can create electric force 'stings,' allowing him to stun enemies or blast his way through whatever's in his path. He's also the fastest of the AUTOBOTS, in both vehicle and robot mode.

*********************************

Name: Bulkhead
Faction: Autobot
Function: One robot wrecking crew
Motto: I kind of broke this thing. And that thing. And those things over there. Sorry.
Cybertronian Alt Mode: Unknown
Earth Alt Mode: SWAT Assault Vehicle

Character Profile
Every team needs its muscle and BULKHEAD is it. Designed primarily for demolition, BULKHEAD is a bull in a china shop, whether he wants to be or not. In battle, he's your greatest weapon. Everywhere else well, hide the breakables. He's not overly clumsy, but he's like a big overly enthusiastic dog who doesn't know his own size or strength. BULKHEAD has a natural curiosity about humans and their culture. He's especially interested in art, something that doesn't exist on Cybertron. On some level the creative urge is an attempt to compensate for all the destruction, deliberate or inadvertentm, that he causes. Problem is, most of his 'creations' either fall apart, don't look a thing like what he says they are, or are just plain ugly. Not that anyone would ever tell BULKHEAD that to his face.

Robot Mode Power: BULKHEAD is easily the strongest of the AUTOBOTS. That combined with battering ram arms make him the ultimate Demolition Bot.

*********************************************

Name: Arcee
Faction: Autobot
Function: Intelligence Officer
Cybertronian Alt Mode: Unknown

Character Profile
Arcee was one of the intelligence officers for the Autobot army during the great war. She was badly damaged during a mission, losing a leg, but was rescued by Ratchet. During their escape the pair were caputred by the bounty hunter Lockdown, who was working for Megatron. To ensure that the Dwcepticons did not gain any informaiton from her, Arcee ordered Ratchet to use an EMP to wipe her mind. The medical bot did not want to, but through the interferrance of Lockdown, Arcee's memory was completely wiped and she had no recollection of who she was or what had happened.
