Break-Out

Break-Out is a Decepticon grunt

## Official Bio

*Break-Out is a basic grunt in the Deceoticons and he goddamn loves it! The idea of fighting against the Autobots on the front lines, not having to worry about such silly things as strategy, tactics, or ethics, it's where he thrives. Others may belittle his lack of ambition and call him a Vehicon behind his back, but as long as he gets a chance to hit an Autobot, he's good with the rest.*

## History

Break-Out joined the Decepticons, and was happy as just a grunt, even when others mockingly compared him to a Vehicon. He fought Star Convoy at one point, but lost the fight.

*In Festival Of Stars Pt. 2 The Gala! Break-Out was at the C.D. Pub and overheard Spectyr admit that he had robbed a bank, risking the entire Decepticon operation and Acadeimos, and he yelled for all the other patrons to come and beat him up.*

Later in Light it Up Break-Out was invited to a secret meeting at the Virtuality arcade in Lexor by "Umbra Convoy" due to his previous defeat at the hands of Star Convoy, and was offered the chance to join "Umbra Convoy's" Cabal and destroy the top hero, even being shown a Protozoid that he could use to destroy the city to ruin his reputation as well. Break-Out grinned when "Umbra" told an objecting Deadlock that no one at the meeting was going to back down, and happily helped beat up him and Flamewar on "Umbra's" orders.

Anvil

Kroma

Anvil is one of the Heavies and a Senate enforcer.

## History

Anvil and his partner Hammer became known as the Heavies, and would work for Kroma to keep his hands clean while enforcing the will of the Senate.

In Binders Anvil and Hammer came along with Kroma to Rodion to arrest Treadfight, and when his boss called in the Heavies to help, they broke through the walls of Treadfight's dojo, and Anvil informed their target that they wouldn't be as nice to him due to him attacking Kroma. However, Anvil was shocked when Treadfight vanished right in front of him and he informed Kroma what happened, leading them to realize that Treadfight had a teleportation talent they didn't know about. However, by the time Anvil and the others ran out of the apartment building, their target had flown away, prompting Kroma to order the Heavies to call in Scour to track down their target, which they evidentially did.

Braelor

## History

Braelor was the king of one of the northern Jungle Kingdoms, Ataxia, and as such knew what lay in the mountain pass of the Tomb of the Dragon mountain range besides the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. He refused to sign the treaty agreeing to join the empire of Yharon, and sent out his forces to attack him.

In Terragon, The Unbreakable Shield Braelor asked if soldiers if there was any way to convince Terragon to rejoin the army so they'd have a chance of beating the Imperial Army, and when told that he'd turned down every offer, Braelor decided to attack Terragon's home village and blame the Imperial Army for it. Unfortunately, Terragon would learnt he truth thanks to High-Hide, leading Terragon to vow to defeat Braelor instead.

During The Flames of War Braelor was in his throne room when Yharon confronted him after having his army ravage the Ataxian capital. While he begged for mercy on account of simply wanting to to be independent of Yharon's empire, Braelor's pleas were ignored as Yharon stabbed him, and his body was left to fall off the throne as Yharon declared that he'd die like the trash he was.

Terragon would tell Scourge about how he had been planning on overthrowing Braelor with High-Hide in Purge.

Crux pointed out to Yharon that with Braelor dead, they had no way of finding out what was in the mountain pass of the Tomb of the Dragon mountain range in The Rebellion's Fruition.

## History

BlastArms were among the Omnicon models developed by the Omnicon Energon Mining Company, built to move large objects in the mines of Messatine, and they enjoyed working hard.

Bisk

Bisk is a Decapodicon member of the Decepticons with the talent known as Reality Manipulation: Game Start

## Official Bio

*Bisk always viewed the world through the eyes of a gamer. It's only after his Talent awakened that this became a problem. Suddenly, everyone has health bars, food is consumed almost instantly, and everyone without a talent loses the ability to speak or act outside a set routine. This makes Bisk the most potentially dangerous villain to the general public, as wherever he goes, the game follows.*

## History

Like many others, Bisk was at some point recruited into the Decepticons.

During Naught but a Game, he was present at the C.D. when Rampage accidentally started a bar fight thanks to the arrival of Shrapnel, Bombshell and, in particular, Kickback. During the chaos, Bisk leapt on a table and went to attack Wildrider.

## Powers and Abilities

Partly due to his talent, Bisk see's the world as a video game, a life he revels in. From the outside, this is all it seems to be, Bisk being too obsessed with games, however, the true extent of his talent has yet to be seen.

In addition, Bisk has the ability to transform, taking on the form of a Cybertronian Sports Car.

Bludgeon

Onslaught's Sect

Mayhem Attack Squad Leader

Arm Blade

Bludgeon is a member of the Decepticons and leader of the Mayhem Attack Squad with the talent Shadow Walk

## Official Bio

*Bludgeon doesn't sound like a name you'd associate with a master of the Cyber-Ninja arts like Metallikato, Tekkaido and Chouryuken. But it is, as Bludgeon is rather an infamous rogue. He leads the infamous gang known as the Mayhem Attack Squad, and will bring terror and paranoia to wherever he appears.*

## History

Bludgeon became the leader of the Mayhem Attack Squad. At some point he joined the Decepticons, allying with Onslaught's Sect.

*In The First Test Bludgeon was among the swordsmen that Rook taught Saber about.*

The day before the Festival of the Stars Bludgeon cheered during the speech Straxus gave to show his support for attacking Acadeimos the next day.

### The Siege

During the Siege of Acadeimos Bludgeon was the one of the many Decepticons to take part in the attack on Autobot Academy. After killing Trailbreaker he tossed his opponent's corpse at Hot Rodimus and told him, Rollout, and Blaster to make peace with their gods before their deaths. Unimpressed by their efforts to tackle him, Bludgeon dodged their attacks and threw a dagger into Rodimus's shoulder, before remarking that he wouldn't be making any quips as he killed Blaster with a slash to the chest, remarking that all Autobots would share his fate. Tackled by Rollout, he proceeded to use several blows to dislocate Rollout's leg joints, allowing for an easy kill that he hoped wouldn't happen again in his next life. Bludgeon was then charged at by Rodimus, but he was easily able to dodge his punch, allowing him to stab him in the chest while vulnerable, killing him, at which point Bludgeon wished him farewell.

## Powers and Abilities

Bludgeon's talent allows him to appear as a shadow when he walks, giving him increased stealth while doing so. In addition, Bludgeon is a master swordsman with several blades to use, and has a mastery of several martial arts, including Metallikato, Tekkaido and Chouryuken.

Break (Dark Future)

Break is Neo-Maximal enforcer with the talent of Cryokinesis

## Official Bio

*War can change a man. Break is a good example. Once he was an ambitious cadet, who aspired to become the top hero. But after Acadeimos fell, he saw his friends die and the society he seeked to inspire crumble under the fires of war. Now, he is a cold-hearted and cruel enforcer of Great Convoy's will. But deep within, his spark still burns with his old desire... twisted into a deep-seated ambition to see himself on the throne of Cybertron.*

## History

Break survived the Siege of Acadeimos, but witnessing his friends die and society crumble during the Great War changed him. Becoming an enforcer of the Neo-Maximals, Break secretly schemed to overthrow Great Convoy as ruler of Cybertron.

Break was stationed in the Northern Mountains to keep watch over the Abandoned Missile Base until Great Convoy got control over Penguigo, and Break was sent out on a different assignment while the mercenary took over his post. Great reflected on this choice in Convoy Problems after Penguigo had been killed.

In Timeline's End Break attempted to defend the Citadel when the Resistance attacked. After Beta Maxx overloaded his spark to reset the programing of the Omega SPREEMs, Break tried to make them stand down, only for one to punch him.

Break would ultimately be erased from the timeline due to the Resistance changing the past.

## Powers and Abilities

Break has the talent of Cryokinesis, allowing him to create ice in various shapes and send them towards his opponents.

In addition, Break has the natural ability to transform, taking on the form of an Arcti-Avianoid.

Blacklight

Blacklight is a clone of Ramjet and a low-level Decepticon thug with the Talent Extreme Toughness

## Official Bio

*Blacklight was another of Jhiaxus's clones. Unlike the others, something about Ramjet's CNA almost resulted in Blacklight's self-aborting, and although he was saved, the result has been quesetionable - Blacklight has little in the way of mental maturity, and although heavily armed he prefers to ram into his opponents. On top of this, he has the habit of self-contradiction, making him very hard to trust with information. Overall, Jhiaxus may consider him a failure, but the Decepticons like him just fine... when he's not running into them like a moron.*

## History

Blacklight was one of the many clones created by Jhiaxus, though due to the nature of the CNA taken from his template, Ramjet, he almost didn't come online at all. However, he ended up incredibly dim, preferred to physically ram opponents instead of using any of his weapons, and had a habit of lying. This caused Jhiaxus to write Blacklight off as a failure, but he was still accepted into the ranks of the Decepticons.

Blacklight had a stable relationship with a table lamp, but shortly before the Festival of the Stars, it ended poorly.

In Return to Autobot Academy Blacklight was sent with Detour and Dangar to wait at the Tournament of Heroes and attack once Megazarak gave a speech. However, Fortress Maximus gave his speech as scheduled, and Blacklight figured someone had gotten to Megazarak, only for Dangar to go ahead and shoot at Fort Max anyway, forcing Megatron to begin the Siege of Acadeimos. Blacklight took part in the battle, but thanks to the shere number of heroes present, he was defeated and sent to a Garrus prison on Elba.

## Powers and Abilities

Like his genetic template Ramjet, Blacklight has a unique ability to withstand severe damage in the form of him being hard to be knocked out no matter what wounds he sustains in battle, as well as feeling no pain from those wounds.

Blacklight also has the natural ability to transform, taking on the form of a Cybertronian Fighter Jet.

Broadside

Primal Vanguard *(Formerly)*

Wreckers *(Formerly)*

Iron Company *(Formerly)*

Soldier *(Formerly)*

Broadside is a member of Sigma Team with the talent Size Augmentation

## Official Bio

*A rather old triple changer, Broadside has served with the best of them, from the original Primal Vanguard on Combatron to the Wreckers on Hydrus Two and Clemency, and even Iron Company during the Cyber-Wars of Mutter's spiral. He's seen the worst the universe has had to offer, and vowed to make sure others would not have to see the horrors he has, working as a member of Sigma Team in the city of Tycho. But, unfortunately, his age has brought along a number of detriments, chief among them being his size powers not being as potent as they were, only being able to grow as two stories, where as before could dwarf battleships.*

## History

Originally fighting as a member of the Primal Vanguard, before joining the rank of the Wreckers, where he served on several missions, including Hydrus Two and Clemency. Broadside later joined Iron Company, where he fought in the Cyber Wars. Eventually, Broadside would joined Sigma Team, defending Tycho under the command of Devaron, alongside Brainstorm, Flowspade, Flash and the recently recruited sidekick Tidecrush.

In Return to Autobot Academy, Broadside was among the heroes called to Acadeimos in unknowing preparation for the Decepticon's big attack. When the battle broke out, Broadside grew giant and kicked Brawl across the battlefield.

## Powers and Abilities

With his size manipulation, Broadside was capable of increasing his size to great extremes. In his prime, he could become large than Cybertronian battleships, but with age his powers have weakened, and is only able to become as large as a two-story building.

In addition, Broadside is able to change forms, being able to transform into both a Cybertronian Jet and a Cybertronian Aircraft Carrier.

Perihelion, as she likes to call herself (real name Flareburst) has no delusions - her family line has contained the power of the great Crimson Daemons, an order of mages that purged unclean worlds with magical hellfire, and now she has stepped up to fulfil their ancient legacy... of course, testing of her genetics show that why she lacks any true technomancy powers, she has one hell of an Explosion power, one she likes to show off as true magic complete with 'spells' and stuff.*

## History

"Perihelion", originally known as Flareburst, was supposedly born as a descendant to the Crimson Daemons, with those supposed purpose of purging unclean worlds. In order to test her powers, she joined the Autobot Academy, being sorted into Class 4-I under Trailbreaker.

In addition, she also has the ability to change forms, taking on the form of a Cybertronian Shuttle.

Archon

Archon is a colony of the Cybertronian Commonwealth, acting as home to Cybertronians and hosting the Aerialbot Academy

## Description

Archon is not technically a plant, as it consists of a number of asteroid-like rock formations floating within a shared atmosphere, with a singular core formed of rock and metal at the very centre of the atmosphere. The four largest of these asteroids are considered the continents of the colony, being known as Fygalato, Dunevo, Hecaino and Aerosis. The largest of these, Aerosis, is considered the capital of Archon, and is the home of the Aerialbot Academy, one of the major Academies in the commonwealth, as well as the first Sparkwell lit since the end of the age of the firstforged. The planet's major exports were gas, collected from gas rings surrounding the colony, and metals and gemstones mined from floating "aeroliths", smaller rocks filled with ore found in the lower levels of the atmosphere. Due to the natures of Archon, jet alt-modes are favoured by the natives.
