Blitzwing

## [Source]

**Blitzwing** is a Cybertronian Transformer.

## Biography

Around 2001, Blitzwing was assigned to the infiltration unit deployed to Earth under Starscream's command.

While Runabout, Runamuck, and Thundercracker pursued the data storage device, Blitzwing reported to Starscream that the Ore-13 was pure with no containments.

With preparations to use the ore underway, the Decepticons began to eradicate any evidence of their presence. Blitzwing, accompanied by Skywarp using his teleportation powers, visited several locations and destroyed any evidence of Decepticon involvement. Firstly, they destroyed Stoker's trailer in Tuscon, Arizona, then caused further destruction at Auto Solutions in Riverside, California. A trip to Phoenix, Arizona, was needed to destroy the bus that Stoker had previously travelled on. Starscream then ordered them to destroy the abandoned Decepticon Command Bunker in Nebraska.

Blitzwing was teleported to northwest Nebraska by Skywarp, where they targeted and launched ordnance at the site of their former command bunker. During the assault, they discovered that the Autobots Ratchet and Bumblebee were at the site and proceeded to attack them as well. While Bumblebee engaged Skywarp, Ratchet used his knowledge of Blitzwing's personality—namely his paranoid nature—to fire a flare that overloaded his sensors which were at optimum sensitivity.

Blitzwing crashed into the woods around the command bunker. When Ratchet went to check on the Decepticon, he found that Blitzwing had transformed into his tank alt-mode. A single shot from his cannon took Ratchet out of the fight.

Regouping with Skywarp, Blitzwing continued to bomb the surface above the abandoned command bunker. The resulting weapons fire began a chain reaction of collapsing the ground into the base until it was a smoking crater. While surveying their work, Megatron, who had been in the base at the time, broke through the debris. Skywarp tried to reason with Megatron but the Decepticon leader put a blast from his fusion cannon through Skywarp's center. Blitzwing transformed to his tank form and blasted Megatron twice. Megatron took the blasts full on, then grabbed the triple-changer by his tank cannon, swing him over his head and smashed Blitzwing into the ground. Blitzwing was alive, but badly hurt.

Beach Head

## [Source]

**Beach Head** is a member of G.I. Joe.

Beach Head was part of the four-man Joe team dispatched the Hayadarpasa Ltd Shipping Yard in Istanbul as part of operation Painted Horse. Beach Head, along with Duke, Flint, and Torpedo, boarded the freighter *Benin Pearl* to break up a weapon smuggling operation by the Zogc Militia. Beach Head took drag during the operation. After initially surprising and subduing the majority of militia members, one of them was able to arm himself with a Stinger. He used it to destroy the explosives in the freighter's hold, which in turn destroyed the ship. Beach Head survived along with the rest of the Joes. One of the militia was rescued by Duke, but was fatally wounded. Before dying, he said one word: "Cobra."

### Invasion of The Pit

Shortly after, Beach Head and Duke went running in the Nevada desert above The Pit. Their conversation ranged from what they missed back in the "regular" world to Beach Head complaining that the quality of enemies that they were up against were too low.

When The Pit was invaded by spider-bots, Beach Head responded to the alarm alongside Duke and Rock N' Roll. Engaging one of the units, their combined firepower did little to affect the unit, with Beach Head putting at least three magazines into it with no effect. Brainstorm managed to cover its sensors with the contents of a fire extinguisher, giving Duke enough time to destroy the bot with a sticky-charge.

Accompanying Brainstorm to the lab where the mysterious cargo was being held, Beach Head and Duke learned that there were six bots in the cargo, with five still being active. Brainstorm informed them that one was heading for The Silo, the secure server room for The Pit. Joining up with Scarlett, the Joes managed to take out two more spider-bots on the way to The Silo. Beach Head managed to interrupt the connection between the servers and the unit with a well-placed shot, but the spider-bot escaped into the ventilation with the intention of escaping The Pit's GPS blindspot.

Dynobots

## [Source]

The **Dynobots** were an elite Autobot commando unit.

## History

### Revenge on Shockwave

During the war, the Dynobots raided an energon silo in Sub-Sector-Nine, and confiscated a cache of energon. Shockwave was dispatched to rectify the situation, and his logic dictated that if the Decepticons could not have the energon, then neither could the Autobots. He destroyed the energon cache, resulting in severe injury to the Dynobots. Optimus Prime ordered Grimlock to forget the incident, but the Dynobot commander could not and swore revenge.

Waiting aboard the *Skyfire*, the Dynobots noted Shockwave leaving Cybertron and followed him to prehistoric Earth. Because of intense energon radiation on the planet, they were forced to adopt local beast modes covered in synthetic skin to survive on the planet. Transporting to the surface, they engaged Shockwave in combat. Initially, the Dynobots had the upper hand until Shockwave suppressed his logic and entered a state close to rage. He stripped them of them protective covering, forcing them all into Stasis Lock.

However, Grimlock had one final move. Before leaving the *Skyfire*, he had programmed the ship's weapons into an automatic firing solution in case they lost. The resulting weapons fire erupted a volcano and the ensuing lava flow covered both Shockwave and the Dynobots.

## Biography

### Operation Painted Horse

Flint was part of a four-man G.I. Joe team deployed to the Hayadarpasa Ltd Shipping Yard in Istanbul as part of operation Painted Horse. The mission was commanded by Duke, with Beach Head and Torpedo alongside Flint. The Joes boarded the freighter *Benin Pearl* to break up a weapon smuggling operation by the Zogc Militia. During the operation, a member of the militia used a Stinger and caused the destruction of the vessel. The last surviving member of the militia was recovered in the Joe's Zodiac, and Duke pressed him for information on the weapons smuggling. Before dying, the insurgent whispered one word to Duke: "Cobra."

### Pit Invasion

Flint was later stationed at The Pit. After Bankshot was killed by a spider-bot in the hallway outside the living quarters, Flint emerged wielding a revolver to see what the commotion was.

Doctor X

**Doctor X** was a villain, and the primary nemesis of Action Man.

## Biography

### Criminal terrorist

Doctor X hid his true identity even from the people within his own organization.At some point, one of Doctor X's plans involved clones of himself in Bangladesh.

### Death

Some time prior to 2008, Doctor X used a chemical compound to mutate 1,500 students at Newcastle College. Action Man stormed the facility, using a jump-pack from low orbit. As Action Man proceeded to combat the toxic mutants in hand-to-hand combat, the falling jump-pack struck some junk that in turn toppled onto Doctor X and killed him. While Action Man Programme quartermaster Professor Ernst Sinclair found a cure for the mutation, Doctor X's body was found by head of intelligence, Mercy Gale. She confirmed that the body was Doctor X's by comparing his genetic profile to information recovered from the Bangladesh clone incident. At first, Gale was going to report the death to Director Patrick Cain, but stopped herself. Frustrated that the Action Man Programme was purely reactive and not proactive, Gale decided to take over Doctor X's organization and play both sides for the betterment of the world. Using the mutagen that Doctor X had used to mutate the college students, she unravelled his DNA and covered up his death.

## Biography

"*Give me the Wikipedia entry, guys.*"
"*No rads. No bugs. But it does have an independent power source. My guess is hydrogen cell.*"
—Scarlett and Airtight[src]
Airtight was a member of the G.I. Joe team stationed at The Pit. When a mysterious cargo container was recovered from the wreckage of the *Badeaux Strait* by Shipwreck's team, it was transported to The Pit for investigation. Airtight, Dusty, and Frostbite were assigned to examine the container but could not determine what it was. Airtight determined that the cargo was clean of radiation and bugs, but did possess an independent power source, hypothesising that it was most likely a hydrogen cell. With no other option left but to open it, Scarlett signed off on the operation as long as level five isolation protocol was observed with full oversight from other relevant units. After two days of being stumped by the device, the three Joes called in outside assistance from Brainstorm, one of the team's technical experts. Brainstorm assisted Airtight and the team with some equipment that they were not cleared to use yet.

## [Source]

**Broadside** is a Cybertronian Transformer and a member of the Autobot commando team known as the Wreckers.

## Biography

In 2005, Broadside was deployed with the Wreckers to Varas Centralus to counter the Decepticon unit on the planet that had entered Siege Mode. During the battle, Broadside joined Whirl and Sandstorm in an aerial assault on the Decepticon base. The Wreckers were pulled out mid way through the engagement and redeployed to Cybertron after an emergency distress call was received from the Science/Survey Vessel *Calabi-Yau* indicating activity near Thunderhead Pass that Optimus Prime believed may be related to Thunderwing.

Arriving on Cybertron, Broadside assisted the Wreckers in preparing to breach Bludgeon's base. When Twin Twist drilled through the ceiling into the facility, Broadside used his size to widen the hole to allow Optimus Prime, Springer, Topspin, and Roadbuster to assault the Decepticons below. After neutralizing all of Bludgeon's cult, Broadside reacted to an alarm that showed him that an orbital perimeter alarm had been tripped, indicating that Thunderwing was returning to Cybertron. When Thunderwing returned to Cybertron, Broadside, Scoop, and Roadbuster witnessed his arrival. He was part of the combined Autobot and Decepticon force that fought him, eventually ending with Optimus Prime bringing the entity to a standstill.

Gorlam Prime

## [Source]

**Gorlam Prime** is a planet. The world's native population, the Gorlamites, were technologically advanced but were not used to hosting offworlders. The species was organic, but by 2005 were on the verge of upgrading their bodies from simple flesh to a biomechanical form.

Gorlamite society reached industrial maturity seven hundred Stellar Cycle prior to 2005. However, there was geological evidence to support the idea that the technological evolution of the planet began far earlier than the current achievements of the Gorlamite population. Cybertronian flotsam and jetsam were present at the sites, dating back to the time of the first *Ark*, suggesting that the planet had been manipulated by off-world forces.

The mercenary Krakon established at least four excavation sites on the planet. At Excavation Site Number 4, Krakon uncovered a flight recorder purported to be from the first *Ark*. The Autobot Nightbeat arrived on Gorlam Prime investigating the discovery after arranging a meeting with Krakon to buy the artifact, only to find the mechanoid dying and the recorder stolen.

Battle of Thunderhead Pass

Factions| Thunderwing | * Autobot army
* Decepticon army

Commanders| Thunderwing | * Optimus Prime
* Megatron

## [Source]

The **Battle of Thunderhead Pass** was a climatic engagement between Thunderwing and the entire Autobot and Decepticon armies.

During the battle, Jetfire was not present on the front lines but was stationed at Field-Ops, attempting to find some type of effective countermeasure.

At one point, the adversary breached the Siege Wall, and injured Optimus Prime. Megatron roused his fellow commander, tell him to that he was not getting off that easily and should get up and fight.

Prime and Megatron led their forces, including Omega Supreme and Trypticon into battle. Thunderwing took the combined firepower of the two armies, and still did not yield. In the end, Cybertron itself seemingly swallowed the adversary whole. Thunderwing's body was never recovered in the aftermath of the battle.

In the wake of the battle, Prime and Megatron discussed the possibility that Thunderwing was not dead. Megatron wanted to ensure that the job was done by using nuclear weapons across the entire planet. Prime would not accept that, and promised to stop Megatron if he tried to do it. Megatron did not press the issue, but warned Prime that he would be responsible for any consequences.

Breaker

## [Source]

**Breaker** is a member of the G.I. Joe team.

## Biography

### Joining G.I. Joe

Before becoming known as "Breaker", he was a member of the United States Army with a primary military specialisation in 25C (Army Radio Operator) and a secondary in 35N (Signals Intelligence Analyst).

Around 2006, Breaker was recruited into G.I. Joe as the teams communications and general technical expert. Alongside Heavy Duty and Rock N' Roll, Breaker was introduced to the rest of the fledging G.I. Joe team —Duke, Scarlett, Stalker, and Snake Eyes—in the Las Vegas Motel by General Hawk.

The team was being moved from "provisional" to "operational" due to Chimera's actions, and the Joe team was being deployed to a secret military installation in north-western Nevada where the terrorist was seemingly heading. Breaker was to handle communications for the team in field. The team, lead by Duke, deployed from a C-130 out of Nellis Air Force Base, parachuting into the desert six kilometers from the target location. Crossing the desert to the installation, they found tracks leading into an underground facility and a single shoe from a female hostage. Breaker soon found that communications with Hawk was cut off, leading Duke to make the decision to infiltrate the facility using an aboveground entrance.

Decepticon

## [Source]

The **Decepticons** are one of the factions of the Great War.

## Great War

### Galactic Infiltration

As the war expanded beyond Cybertron, the Decepticons adopted strict infiltration protocols on inhabited planets. Experts at infiltration, small infiltration units were embedded onto target worlds where their members slowly worked to destabilise the planet's geopolitical infrastructure. The goal was to work towards fomenting global anarchy.

The infiltration units would move through a series of phases, until adopting a protective military configuration at their bases during Phase Five, known as Siege Mode.
