Avianoid

Avianoids are a subspecies of Cybertronians with robot modes that share several features similar to Earth Birds

## Description

Looking similar to typical Cybertronians, Avianoids typically transform into airborne alt-modes. They also tend to have a beak rather than a mouth (though not always), typically two fingers and a thumb on their hands, and two forward facing tow and a backwards facing toe on their feet. They also frequently possess wings in robot mode, and occasional a tail plumage of some sort.

A subspecies of Avianoid exists known as Corvicons, which while sharing traits with other Avianoids, also possess a drive for collecting objects, typically those that shine.

## Powers and Abilities

Avianoids share the common ability to change form,taking on a wider variety of forms. In addition, just like many other Cybertronians, Avianoid can develop unique abilities known as talents, that can heavily vary and have no relation to their alt-modes.

## Weaknesses

Like all Cybertronians, Avianoids are susceptible to Electromagnetic Pulses, potentially being shut down by them for hours.

*Bug Bite is a member of Psy-Kill's sect of Decepticons, but that's the extent of everyone's knowledge of his loyalties. In spite of his apparent youth, he's apparently a pretty competent scientist, specializing in the co-oping and adaptation of tech from other civilizations. But how he got the knowledge to so is still a matter of debate, cause he's not telling.*

## History

Bug Bite joined the Decepticons and became a member of the Renegades. He frequently adapted the technology of other civilizations for the Decepticons to use, but he refused to tell anyone how he learned his skills.

In Festival of the Stars Bug Bite hacked a camera drone patrolling Autobot Academy, causing it to crash into a tree branch. He and Laserbeak watched Streetwise and Sandstorm investigate the drone, seeing that the Autobots merely blamed it on poor programming, which convinced Laserbeak to have Bug Bite repeat the process on more drones to get the Decepticons inside.

Additionally, Bug Bite shares his species ability to transform, taking on the form of a Compact Streetspeeder.

"Mjolnir"

Autobots *(Formerly)*

"Zizza" *(Sister)*

Goldbug *(Grandfather)*

Stinger *(Genetic Clone)*

"Mjolnir" is a member of the Resistance with the talent of Electrokinesis.

## Official Bio

*A survivor of the Fall of Acadeimos, the Cybertronian once named Bumblebee had fought in the Great War as a scout and as a field commander. But when the time of Great Convoy came, Bumblebee saw fit to abandon his duties as an Autobot and his very name. Since then, he has been one of the most adamant about resisting Great Convoy's ambitions, armed with the knowledge of the war and the power of an Electro-Hammer taken from the hands of a Magnus he once served under as a final parting.*

## History

After the Siege of Acadeimos, Bumblebee served the Autobots as a scout under the command of a Magnus, whose hammer he took when he died. When Great Convoy came to power, Bumblebee left the army, took on the name "Mjolnir", and joined the Resistance as one of its most passionate members.

At some point "Mjolnir" helped defend "Spidarcee" from Neophyte on an unknown world, which Transmutate dreamed about in A War of Ideals.

In Into the Dark, "Mjolnir" was contacted by Lightbright alongside "Magna" and Grimlock to inform them of the plan to attack Great Convoy's capital in order to use his time portal. Though "Mjolnir" found the plan risky, he at least agreed to go through with it with little other alternative.

When the battle commenced, "Mjolnir" came to the aid of Beta Maxx, Glyph and Moonracer, fighting Dark Saber early in the battle. "Mjolnir" would ultimately fall fighting Qaz, succumbing to her in battle.

"Mjolnir's" death would not be in vain, as the group of students from the past brought by Beta would make it to the portal and change things, averting the Dark Future he fought to end and erasing him from the timeline.

## Powers and Abilities

"Mjolnir" has the talent of Electrokinesis, allowing him to shoot blasts of electricity. He can channel his power through the hammer he wields.

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

Barricade

Barricade is a Decepticon in Motormaster's Sect and leader of the Race Track Patrol with the talent Stealth Running.

## Official Bio

*Every crime boss has at least one cop under his payroll, and Barricade falls under that category. The part of town he patrols is often filled with certain underground activities that have gone under the radar because of Barricade's efforts - only arresting those the Decepticons have deemed useless for their aims. Thanks to him, many Decepticon-associated gangs have reigned supreme on his side of town. But is that going to change soon.*

## History

Barricade was a corrupt police officer, forming the Race Track Patrol with several others officers. Often being paid off by criminal organizations, they eventually came under the employ of the Decepticons, becoming a part of Motormaster's Sect.

Barricade used his police connections to help with collapsing the Iacon Council Tower. However, his former partner Prowl would then lead an investigation that ended up revealing Barricade's treachery, but when Prowl attacked him to get revenge, Barricade was able to escape by permanently damaging Prowl's optic.

In Naught but a Game, Barricade was at the C.D. Pub when Artillery and Armorhide came in looking to get back to Autobot Academy. When a barfight started, Barricade got involved by overturning a table.

*During Festival Of Stars Pt. 2 The Gala! Barricade was at the C.D. Pub when Brawl and Blitzwing confronted the TEKU about their failed raid on the Autobot Academy. Overhearing Tekno complain about repeating the mistake the Battle Squad had made, Barricade yelled at him that they had at least been precise instead of deciding to just cut the power and then try fighting the whole school on a random day.*

### The Siege

#### Aborted Timeline

Barricade would go on to fight in the Great War, but found himself forced to join unlikely allies afterward.

Blast-Off

Combaticons

Onslaught's Sect

Blast Off is a Decepticon Combaticon in Onslaught's Sect with the talent of Instant Teleport.

## Official Bio

*Very few Autobots turn their back on the duty of heroism, and those that do usually retire to be a normal mech. Blast Off is one of the few who turned against the Autobots. Cold-hearted and ruthless, he'll often teleport into a hero's HQ suddenly, set off a number of bombs, and leave without a trace. Those few that dare ask why he turned will get a lecture about how hypocritical the Autobots can be. He doesn't get much company. Which suits him just fine.*

## History

Blast Off used to be an Autobot hero, but due to their hypocracy he defected to the Decepticons, eventually becoming a part of the Combaticons in Onslaught's Sect.

In A War of Ideals Blast Off was selected by Lockdown to help him capture one of the time travelling Neo-Maximals. Teleporting to the Autobot Academy once Lockdown had gotten Ravenspar, Blast Off grabbed the bounty hunter as well as the stunned Neophyte before teleporting them all away.

Block-Aid

Block-Aid is a student of the Autobot Academy with the talent Hyperspeed.

## Official Bio

*Some might say that Sky Link corrupted her - when she joined the Academy, she was a lost more happy-go-lucky. But when her carelessness nearly cost her an arm, Sky Link swooped in to deal with the issue, and as a result, the two have grown inseparable... in that Sky Link tolerates her sticking around, and exposes her to the ideals of pragmatism. Still, Block-Aid has a considerably more lighter view of the world and still believes in the ideals of the Age of Heroes...just tempered by a harsher viewpoint.*

## History

Block-Aid was among the students who joined the Autobot Academy, being sorted into Class 4-I. At some point, Block-Aid found herself in a bad situation which was sorted by Sky Link, resulting in Block-Aid following and hanging out with Sky Link a lot more, tempering her worldview.

Bombshell

Scorponok's Sect

Bombshell is a Decepticon with the talent Targeted Mind Control

## Official Bio

*A member of the petty criminals known as the Insecticons, Bombshell's psyche hides a mind that'd rather mess with other's heads. A scheme by nature, he's often the one to propose ideas that the other two help put into action, and when he acts, usually to put a neurotransmission capsule, or 'cerebroshell' as he likes to call them, into a victim, transforming them into a mindless drone as long as they're within 300 feet of Bombshell himself. He can, theoretically, control over a hundred at a time, but he'd rather not strain himself by doing so, preferring to use one or two victims to disrupt security systems and the like.*

## History

Bombshell, along with his teammates Shrapnel and Kickback, were originally criminal, but later went on to join the Decepticons, being sorted into Scorponok's Sect.

In The Greatest Weapon, Bombshell and Insecticons harassed the Decepticon courier Scoredrive, trying to steal the contents of his bag as "payment" for entering their territory. Seeing the trio, the Autobot student Rampage threatened them to leave him alone. Kickback attempted to weasel the group out of things, only to get annoyed when Rampage mocked them. The trio attacked Rampage, initially believing they'd killed him, only for Rampage's second, darker personality to emerge, grabbing Bombshell by the throat and slamming him into Shrapnel. After knocking all three out, the trio were left lying in the street by their attacker.

In Naught but a Game, Bombshell and his two compatriots warped into the C.D. Pub. When they arrived, they spotted Rampage, who was among a group of students lost in the woods. When Kickback kicked Rampage into a table, this triggered a massive barfight among the cons, Bombshell included.

In Your Destiny In Your Hands, Bombshell and Shrapnel joined Kickback in the C.D. Pub, where Kickback showed off his new leg as they shared a drink.

In Sinister Simulation, Bombshell among those dragged into Bisk's realm, becoming a random beetle enemy, chasing Bumblebee through the world and to a nearby village. When Bisk was defeated, Bombshell was brought back to the real world.

## Powers and Abilities

By having an individual make contact with one of his Cerebroshells, Bombshell is capable of controlling the mind of said individual up to distance of 300 feet between them and Bombshell, provided the Cerebroshell remains attached to them. Bombshell can control multiple individuals at a time, theoretically hundreds, though it can put a strain on Bombshell's mind.

In addition, as a Cybertronian, Bombshell is capable of changing form, taking on the form of a Mechanical Rhinoceros Beetle.

Bounty Hunter "L"

Decepticons *(Formerly)*

Bounty Hunter "L" is a bounty hunter working for the Neo-Maximals

## Official Bio

*Not everyone survived the Great War unscathed. This individual in particular had to be be reconstructed at least ten times, each drifting further from where he started. Even his talent sputtered out, and every trace of morality he still head was engineered out of him three times over. But even in a body that is only his old self in 12% of construction, he's proven to be a very cunning bounty hunter, now under the employ of Great Convoy himself.*

## History

Over the course of the Great War, Lockdown had to have 84% of his body replaced over ten different reconstructions, costing him his talent and morality. However, he still proved to be an effective bounty hunter. Now known as Bounty Hunter "L," he would take jobs for the Neo-Maximals directly from Great Convoy.

## Powers and Abilities

Due to his multiple reconstructions, Bounty Hunter "L" no longer possesses a talent. However, he still retains his ability to transform, taking on the form of a Cybertronian Muscle Car.

Skald Longship

**Longships** are a type of ship invented and used by Skald sailors and raiders for commerce, exploration, and warfare since the *Age of Dawning*. The longship has evolved over many centuries, and was based on the earlier faering boat, which was made to hold only around 20 passengers, whereas the longship can hold around 60 to 80 passengers.

## Design

Standard longships follow a simple design developed in 608 (Age of Dawning) that has been the basis of all Skald ships, as well as many other cultures, including the Arenese and Tavini. Longboats are fastened with a cord, not nailed, and paddled, not rowed. Their single mast is much larger than the average boat's, in order to pick up speed for ramming, and can be easily angled by a series of ropes and pulleys on either end of the ship.

The largest longships can reach lengths of 120 feet long, and reaching 20 to 30 feet in width. Unlike most boats, they are set very low in the water, which helps when trying to avoid detection in fog and under the shade of night. One of the longship's most distinctive features is it's two-prong cutaway section.

Many longships are decorated with carvings of Dracae heads on the bow and stern, and rows of painted round shields often adorn the sides of the boat, though this practice was initially to provide cover from projectiles aimed at the sailors aboard.

Bulkhead

Structural Engineer

Bulkhead is an Autobot Pro Hero with the Talent of Super Strength

## Official Bio

*For a big guy like Bulkhead who finds enjoyment in punching things, you'd be surprised how much of a whiz he is at engineering. Sure enough, as soon as Blurr's team enter a location on a mission, Bulkhead will be sure to analyse the superstructure of every building around to make sure none of them are in danger of collapsing on them. Due to his extensive knowledge, Bulkhead's teammates say that is his real talent. Then again, who doesn't like a good punch to the Con?*

## History

Bulkhead was a member of the Nyon Defense team, under the command of Blurr, alongside Lancer, Santon and Quickswitch.

In Observations in Team Dynamics, Santon and the rest of the Nyon team were introduced by Blurr to a group of students who would be shadowing them for the week, consisting of Lightbright, Thunderhoof, Armorhide, Tremor and Mach Alert. No sooner had they introduced themselves, several emergencies came through, requiring the Autobots attention. Bulkhaed, Lancer and Santon took Lightbright, Thunderhoof and Armorhide with them to help deal with a building that was ablaze. As the others began evacuating people from the building, Bulkhead noticing one of the support pillars collapsing, and he had him and Thunderhoof support the building while the rest of the Autobots evacuated the civillians. Returning to base once everyone was safe, Bulkhead watched as Thunderhoof and Tremor got into an arguement, resulting in Tremor storming out of the base. Before they could go after her, however, another emergency came through the bases alarms. Heading into the city with the students, they found that the Decepticon Darkstream was attacking the town. Bulkhead attempted to help fight, but was thrown into Quickswitch and Thunderhoof. The team was finally able to defeat Darkstream by distracting him long enough for Lightbright to get in close and use her solar headlights to dispel his shadows, stunning Darkstream long enough for a newly returned Tremor to knock him out. Taking a photo with their charge for the students to remember, the team enjoyed the rest of their week with the students.

Bulkhead was later one of the pro heroes recruited to help in a training exercise where they students would forced to face professional Autobots in a no-win situation.
