Autobots

**The Autobots** are a fairly decent sized Cybertronian force that helps protect Transportainia when the villains of Hydra Island attack for whatever the agenda is. They’re led by Optimus Prime, and the team was a part of the original Transportainian Defense Force that was assembled during the infamous Hydra War, and still is to this day.

## Optimus Prime

**Optimus Prime** is the leader of the Autobot part of the Transportainian Defense Force. He can transform into a 1984 Freightliner FL86 Cab-over semi-truck.

### Personality

Optimus Prime is the awe-inspiring leader of the Autobot team. Selfless and endlessly courageous, he is the complete opposite of his mortal enemy Megatron.

## Jazz

**Jazz** is Optimus Prime's first lieutenant for the Autobot team. He can transform into a 1980 Porsche 935 car.

### Personality

Jazz's upbeat and outgoing personality makes him one of the most popular Autobots on the team. An admirer of Earth music of every kind, Jazz loves culture. More than most other Autobots, he has his finger on the pulse of Earth trends and lingo, effortlessly incorporating human slang into his vocabulary.

### Other Autobot Teammates

There are other Autobots on the team that have different duties depending on their ranking.

## Wheeljack

**Wheeljack** is the Autobots' and Transportainian Defense Force's chief scientist and inventor. He can transform into a 1978 Lancia Stratos Turbo race car.

### Personality

Wheeljack is his own worst enemy. Something of a crackpot inventor, a good half of his creations blow up in his face, and that's just if he's lucky. His constant need to invent increasingly complex devices stems from his desire to improve the Autobots' tech, but as a result he's simultaneously one of the Autobots' greatest assets and problems; for every successful gadget he builds, there's one which requires some of the other Autobot medics and inventors to put him (and his lab) back together. But once in a while he strikes gold, which has won him respect from even some of his enemies.

He is, however, not a complete nerd. As good as he is in the lab, Wheeljack is just as amazing on the road: there are few stunts he can't pull off, and he loves to show off his driving skills as much as he does his inventions. He is, however, a little less confident when it comes to flying, which he accomplishes using solid-fuel rocket jets in his forearms.

## Bumblebee

**Bumblebee** is one of the smallest and physically weakest Autobots. While his stature allows him to do his job better than most Autobots could manage, he is self-conscious about his size. Maybe this is why he makes fast friends among the humans. He can transform into a sort of customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback car.

### Personality

He is very friendly and loves to greet humans and to help them!

## Cliffjumper

**Cliffjumper** is one of the smallest and possibly one of the toughest Autobots, so it’s best not to underestimate him, especially when he’s wielding his signature weapon : the glass gas, which embrittles metals on contact so that they shatter like glass. He can transform into a sort of customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback car.

### Personality

Nobody hates Decepticons or the other Hydra Island villains more than Cliffjumper. He's always ready to charge into battle, a gung-ho little hero who'll take on any threat with a cry of "Lemme at 'em!" He's daring, dedicated, and determined, and takes the business of fighting evil seriously, but he's not a patient 'bot; he'll often act without thinking, shooting first and asking questions later, or picking fights that he really can't hope to win. He's even been known to blow out his own tires by speeding into action too quickly!

## Sideswipe

**Sideswipe** is one of the medium sized foot soldiers of the Autobot team and of the Transportainian Defense Force, who at times can be a bit reckless and rush in without a plan. He can transform into a Lamborghini Countach.

### Personality

Sideswipe is not nearly as much of a sociopath as his brother Sunstreaker, but he is every bit as skillful. He's more into battle for the sport of it. A bit of a jock, Sideswipe most craves a glorious fight to the finish as a test of his mettle.

## Jetfire

**Jetfire** is a scientist for the team. He can transform into a Cybertronian jet.

### Personality

Jetfire is compassionate, so some of his teammates feel that he could be soft on their enemies or, even worse, he may turn on them after realizing his "cold calculations" swing the other way.

## Blaster

**Blaster** is the communications officer for both the Autobot team and the Transportainian Defense Force. He can transform into a 1984 Radio-Cassette Deck which most people refer to as a boombox.

### Personality

Blaster was a fun-loving, hip and happening robot. Loud and energetic, he was quick to immerse himself in Earth culture, and was happy to share his choice of rockin' tunes with anyone, whether they really wanted to hear them or not—a trait that got him in trouble as often as it saved him and his allies.

## Red Alert

**Red Alert** is the Security Director for both the Autobots and the TDF team. He can transform into a slightly modified Lamborghini Countach in an alternative paintjob.

### Personality

Red Alert is at times paranoid, which is not a bad trait in a Security Director if it's kept in check by reason, logic, and common sense.

## Arcee

**Arcee** is a female Autobot who fights alongside her fellow Autobots and TDF allies. She can transform into a pink Cybertronian sports car.

### Personality

Arcee is a ruthless and deadly warrior who's an expert in hand-to-hand combat and one of the best sharpshooters on record. The reason for her ferocity is how much she cares for her fellow Autobots and especially the humans they protect.

She is tough as nails at all times, always ready with a snarky quip even in the face of deactivation, not afraid to bend the rules every now and then, and seemingly never, ever scared.
