Description:

Hook is a Constructicon, and also a combiner, which means he has the ability to merge with his fellow Constructicons to form Devastator (upper torso). Due to his unparalleled engineering skills and meticulous attention to detail, Hook is the go-to mech for anything that requires surgical precision or repair work. He often works closely with Scrapper, and is considered to be the informal second-in-charge of the Constructicons. He is the most outspoken among his team mates, and is well known for his rather acerbic sense of humour.

Back Story:

Hook and the Constructicons first joined the Decepticons when Megatron gathered together Destrons who had been ousted from Iacon by the Autobots, in rebellion against the way they were being treated. His contributions to the Decepticon cause since then have been invaluable, particularly on the battlefield or on missions, when his fellow Decepticons had need of urgent medical attention, or some timely piece of advice.

Class Feats (Scientist):

  • Doomsday devices: Can create or disable doomsday devices or weapons of mass destruction.
  • Knowledge (basic to all): Scientists have generic knowledge of pretty much everything. This knowledge is not specific and cannot offer automatic answers.
  • Knowledge (quantum physics, astrophysics, engineering, physics, chemistry, biology): Scientists have access to all the knowledge necessary to develop or understand inventions and other phenomena.
  • Craft items: Scientists can use their knowledge to create new items, given they have the necessary materials to build them.

Description:

Scrapper is the leader of the Constructicons and, also a combiner, has the ability to merge with his fellow Constructicons to form Devastator (right leg). He is a brilliant scientist and engineer who enjoys designing and building all kinds of different things – from medical gadgets and new types of weaponry, to buildings and even entire cities. Of course, he does not accomplish all these things on his own; as team leader, he guides and directs his team mates to help with the construction of his many projects – one of them being the world-famous, majestic Crystal City. Despite his remarkable skill and natural talent as an all-round scientist and engineer, he rarely likes to draw attention to himself on this account, preferring instead to work quietly in the background whilst the others take the limelight. When he is not busy working on a new project, he can be found on the front lines fighting the enemy, or involved in demolitions.

Back Story:

Scrapper and the Constructicons first joined the Decepticons when Megatron gathered together Destrons who had been ousted from Iacon by the Autobots, in rebellion against the way they were being treated. Some of Scrapper’s remarkable achievements include the combiner technology that allows the merging of gestalt teams, the conversion and storage of common energy sources into multi-purpose energon cubes, and then later the zero-point energy accumulator, as well as the design and construction of the interstellar space ship the Star Drive, and many other things. The Autobots have always sought to copy and use his inventions for their own ends, but he refuses to share any of it with them because he knows that they will only take the credit and may even use his technology against the Decepticons, if they thought it was justified.

Rise of the Decepticons Episode 4: Return of the Stunticons deleted scene

Leave a reply

It was already late into the afternoon by the time Wildrider and the rest of the Stunticons made it back to Decepticon headquarters. The battering they’d received from Black Shadow’s goons had slowly them down significantly, as they were no longer able to transform into their vehicle modes without appropriate repairs and a refuel. They had considered contacting the base for assistance, but then had thought better of it – the damage they’d sustained was not critical and besides, the last thing they wanted to do was to earn the disapproval of higher ranking Decepticons more than they already had.

Unfortunately, they would not be able to avoid the critical optics and curious glances being cast their way as they sidled into the Central Tower and up a level to the Constructicons’ work shop to see whether any of them would be able to spare a few moments to help them with their repairs.

Hook simply took one look at them and shook his head before returning to his work, allowing Scrapper to deal with them instead. “Congratulations; you four have made it onto the news broadcasts,” he commented in a casual manner, without looking for their response.

Scrapper was more reserved with his reaction, though the Stunticons could tell that he was surprised by the state of their physical condition, even with his face mask. After a long moment, he motioned with a hand for Wildrider and his three team mates to lie down on one of the empty berths against the back wall, where a small space of the work shop had been allotted for emergency repairs.

As they began to make their way towards the back of the room, Breakdown paused to speak to him. “Hey, we’re sorry about what Blackjack did. We had no idea he was planning on… you know… stealing those plans.”

The Constructicon leader ignored his comment; instead, he began to connect Wildrider up to a monitor, and then retrieved a small tool from his work bench. Powering it up, he began to work on the worst parts of the mech’s frame. Finally he glanced back towards Breakdown, who had sat himself down on the berth beside Wildrider’s as Hook made his way over to begin work on him. “Where’s Blackjack?” he asked simply, sounding more curious than anything else.

Breakdown shrugged. “No idea. Haven’t seen him since this morning.”

“He really should be careful out there, what with the recent riots in Kaon,” Hook said, offering his advice.

Scrapper nodded in agreement before returning his attention to completing the repair work in silence.

  • Battle leadership: All allies are compelled to follow orders during battles.
  • Knowledge of terrains: Can map an area quickly and identify the purpose of structures.

Description:

Shockwave is a very methodical and persistent strategic thinker who is determined to complete and perfect his various scientific inventions for the betterment of all Decepticons. He is highly knowledgeable in a variety of different areas and is considered to be as much the brilliant scientist by his companions as he is the brilliant strategist. Due to a well developed logical approach and his unending patience, Shockwave is well suited to difficult or complex tasks, though he is equally adept in situations that require him to think quickly or to devise creative solutions. Even though he enjoys time alone spent in reflection, he highly values the company of his fellow Decepticons whenever they’re around.

Back Story:

Shockwave was a main contributor to a number of important inventions and discoveries on Cybertron. He has always been an independent thinker and in the early days on Cybertron rarely took sides in domestic conflicts, preferring instead to focus his efforts on ensuring the safety and security of his home planet against any alien threat. However, as the friction between the Autobots and various Destron groups escalated he ultimately chose to align himself with Megatron – his long-time good friend and fellow scientist – and his newly formed splinter group, the Decepticons, and has remained with them ever since.

  • Convert: The ability to turn others to their cause.

Description:

Highly intelligent and skilled in all aspects of battle dynamics, Megatron embodies the essential leadership qualities that few other Cybertronians of his class and stature could ever claim to possess. Megatron leads those who are brave enough to follow him into battle with a strength of purpose and determination that is second to none. He is unwilling to compromise the values and tenets which underlie the Decepticon cause for any reason, while his compassion for the safety and well-being of those under his command is only matched by his fierceness in battle against the enemy.

Back Story:

Many vorns ago, Megatron and a small group of like-minded Cybertronians formed the Decepticons, a rebellious splinter group of the Destrons – Cybertron’s military class that eventually became extinct – in response to the ever-increasing violence and corruption prevalent among Cybertron’s then-ruling class, the Autobots, and a number of militant rogue factions within the Destron class system. His position as leader of the Decepticons was largely unplanned; as a former mathematician he never imagined that the escalating civil unrest on his home planet would ultimately shape his destiny and pave the way for him to become one of Cybertron’s greatest and most powerful leaders.

Class Feats (Warrior):

  • Weapon proficiency: Melee and Standard ranged weapons. Allows 3 attacks per round.
  • Improved armor proficiency: +2 to Armor Class.

Description:

Skywarp’s unique ability of teleportation places him out of reach of his enemies; he likes to take full advantage of this, and especially enjoys playing pranks on them. He often saves the biggest surprise till last – when his enemies discover that he can teleport them to any location he chooses. He is generally a high spirited and good natured Decepticon who can get a little bored and distracted with routine missions, unless he is accompanied by a strong and supportive team. Nevertheless, his ability to follow orders without hesitation means that he gets the job done. Whenever Skywarp is around, fun times are usually close at hand.

Back Story:

Skywarp’s surprise tactical manoeuvres and creative solutions to problems has always made him evasive to the enemy which, in turn, has helped his trine mates, Starscream and Thundercracker, get through more difficult situations than they can keep count. He has always stood by his fellow Decepticons in support of the cause, during every conflict and throughout every war, and has been a highly valued member under Megatron’s leadership ever since the Decepticons were first formed.

  • Crash and fall safely: The character does not gain damage during clash-landings and non-melee falls.
  • Resist radiation: Resistant to radiation emissions up to the equivalent of a sun’s surface.

Description:

Astrotrain is a triple changer, possessing the uncommon ability to almost instantaneously transform between three different modes: robot, train and space shuttle. He also possesses the ability to put his comrades at ease, which comes in handy particularly in high-stress situations, enabling everyone around him to maintain a level of calmness in order to successfully come up with solutions. He is a generous, free-spirited, and sociable Decepticon who enjoys offering his assistance to those genuinely in need and for this reason, along with his affable sense of humor, he is well-liked by many.

Back Story:

Astrotrain was one of the first of his kind to rebel against the oppression and dictatorial rule that began to emerge during the early days on Cybertron, when the Autobots began to assert their ideals and authority upon the rest of the world’s population. Throughout the conflicts between various rebel groups during that time, Astrotrain’s loyalty and services were continually sought by many rogue leaders for his space flight alt mode and superior transport capabilities; however, it wasn’t until he joined the Decepticons that he felt he could be a part of something greater – something that was well worth fighting for.

  • Knowledge of terrains: Can map an area quickly and identify the purpose of structures.

Description:

Blitzwing is a triple changer, and has the ability to rapidly transform between his three modes: robot, fighter jet, and tank. Blitzwing is a fast thinker and brilliant strategist in battle, with a knack for always keeping the enemy guessing. He prefers to employ the simplest and most direct approach in any situation. He is an efficient and effective warrior who is most useful on the front lines, but easily loses focus on missions that require patience or stealth. He will often be the first and the loudest to speak up against any wrongdoing or misjudgement perpetrated against Decepticons. Blitzwing’s usually reserved nature seems to be in direct contrast to his fanciful, impulsive sense of humour, which his fellow Decepticons find amusing – particularly Skywarp.

Back Story:

Up until he joined the Decepticon ranks, Blitzwing had always been a loner who did not pledge allegiance or offer his loyalty to any leader or faction. However, once he became aware of the continual threat to his home planet by a succession of Destron rulers and an increasingly corrupt Autobot High Command, all of whom demonstrated little regard for the safety of Cybertron or its inhabitants, he decided to join the Decepticon cause, and has since never looked back.

Class Feats (Warrior):

  • Weapon proficiency: Melee and Standard ranged weapons. Allows 3 attacks per round.
  • Improved armor proficiency: +2 to Armor Class.

Description:

One of three of an elite aerial unit, Thundercracker is a formidable warrior just as much as he is a loyal and devout Decepticon. He holds steadfast to his principles and values, and generally has no time for those who lack wisdom, integrity or perseverance – qualities that are developed and enhanced through aligning oneself with the warrior’s Code of Honour. Thundercracker is often the voice of reason for his fellow Decepticons, offering them the security and stability they need to persevere and ultimately succeed against any challenge. In counterbalance to his more serious side exists a quick-witted mech with a highly developed sense of humour.

Back Story:

Along with Starscream and Skywarp, Thundercracker was one of the earliest proponents for a fair and just system of leadership on Cybertron for all, and one of the most outspoken dissenters against the ever-increasing totalitarian rule that was being imposed by the Autobot ruling class at the time. As a consequence, he has developed a strong distrust of anyone who tries to impose their own rules or ideals upon him or his fellow Decepticons, whom he considers his true family.
