Minor Characters/Seekers

This is a page dedicated to all the Destron Empire's Seeker Air Force units that have minor bits or appear in large crowds in Transformers Loud.

## Blackout

* Robot Mode
* Tetrajet Mode

### Alt Mode

Tetrajet

Blackout is a member of the Destron Seeker Air Force. He acts as a part of the unit under the command of General Strika, where he acts as the main muscle of his group thanks to his Seismic Discharges.

### Personality

Even though he's stationed on a relatively low-ranking Seeker squadron, Blackout is a born soldier. He is both a highly talented fighter, and an instinctive strategist. He always makes sure to lay out every moment of a battle in his head before the first shot is ever fired. He is so talented at anticipating his enemy's moves that he is almost never surprised. Whenever he can, he ensures himself a place at the direct center of a fight so that he can bring his powerful weaponry to bear on all enemy units around him, taking out as many as he can with his seismic charges as quickly as possible. With every possible move planned out beforehand, he confidently wades into the center of battle, ready for any and all comers.

### Skills & Weapons

* Tetrajet Transformation

* Arm Cannons

Like all Seekers, Blackout has two rifles, one on each of his forearms, that function either as standard lasers or Null Rays to paralyze most technology, including other Cybertronians. He's also able to detach them from his arms and hold them like a standard rifle.

* Seismic Feet Dischargers

Blackout's feet are equipped with seismic energy dischargers, allowing him to force nearby electronics to shut down with a single stomp.

### Notes

Blackout's design comes from a single seen in the original More Than Meets the Eye three-parter, like the rest of his squad mates. In particular, he appeared in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot, flying in the middle of a group of Seekers in the third part.

While the name "Blackout" is probably most well-known for being used by the large helicopter in the first live-action movie, his naming was inspired by his original Micromaster counterpart, and a little bit inspired by his unproduced Generation 2 counterpart, which is also where his dealings in stealth come from, with his dark blue colors are also meant to be a happy medium between these two's colors. He even has a bit of influence from his Animated depiction with the inclusion of his EMP-like stomps. His role as Sunstorm's number 2 could also be seen as a reference to his G1 counterpart's role as co-commander of the Anti-Aircraft Base. Funnily enough though, rather than only wanting to serve his master and destroy his enemies like his movie counterpart, his strategic style is inspired by Blackout's lookalike from Revenge of the Fallen, Grindor, as it fit better with his role as a second in command.

## Skystalker

* Robot Mode
* Tetrajet Mode

### Allies

Onslaught (c/o)Skyhopper (frequent partner)

### Alt Mode

Tetrajet

Skystalker is a member of the Seeker unit commanded by General Strika, frequently partnering with Skyhopper.

### Personality

Skystalker is a petty, immature prankster. But as luck would have it, he's a petty, immature prankster with good aim. He uses his warping power as a toy and a tool for thuggery and practical jokes, on not just Autobots, but even his own Decepticon Air Corps. However, he is also a dangerous combatant versed in an array of martial techniques.

### Skills & Weapons

* Tetrajet Transformation

* Arm Cannons

Like all Seekers, Skystalker has two rifles, one on each of his forearms, that function either as standard lasers or Null Rays to paralyze most technology, including other Cybertronians. He's also able to detach them from his arms and hold them like a standard rifle.

### Relationships

#### Skyhopper

Skystalker is often put on constant supervision of his brother, Skystalker, due to him being rather, for lack of a better word, dumb, but Stalker never seems to mind. The two get along splendidly, often partnering up for pranks around the base when off-duty.

## Skyhopper

* Robot Mode
* Tetrajet Mode

### Alt Mode

Tetrajet

Skyhopper is a member of the Seeker unit commanded by General Strika, frequently partnering with Skystalker.

### Personality

Skyhopper's a really simple guy, in that he really likes to watch things explode.

### Skills & Weapons

* Tetrajet Transformation

* Arm Cannons

Like all Seekers, Skyhopper has two rifles, one on each of his forearms, that function either as standard lasers or Null Rays to paralyze most technology, including other Cybertronians. He's also able to detach them from his arms and hold them like a standard rifle.

### Relationships

#### Skystalker

Being rather dim, Skyhopper requires the constant supervision of his brother, Skystalker, but Hopper never seems to mind. The two get along splendidly, often partnering up for pranks around the base when off-duty.

## Tailwind

* Robot Mode
* Tetrajet Mode

### Alt Mode

Tetrajet

Tailwind is a member of the Seeker unit commanded by General Strika, acting as a strategist and occasional scout.

### Personality

Tailwind is a thinker, mulling over every problem to the last rivet, often out loud. His teammates sometimes wonder if he should really be on the battlefield at all with how often he gets lost in his thoughts, but his attention to detail actually makes him very good at his job, watching the skies at long-range to defend their operations against incoming Autobot attacks.

### Skills & Weapons

* Tetrajet Transformation

* Arm Cannons

Like all Seekers, Tailwind has two rifles, one on each of his forearms, that function either as standard lasers or Null Rays to paralyze most technology, including other Cybertronians. He's also able to detach them from his arms and hold them like a standard rifle.

### Relationships

#### Eagle Eye

Tailwind and Eagle Eye often partner up for scouting operations, and as such, get along very well.

## Eagle Eye

* Robot Mode
* Tetrajet Mode

### Alt Mode

Tetrajet

Eagle Eye is a member of the Seeker unit commanded by General Strika, acting as an advance scout thanks to his heightened sensors and scanners.

### Personality

Eagle Eye lives up to his name when it comes to aerial combat. His exceptional vision allows him to lock his weapons systems onto any target he can see. However, despite his amazing visual acuity, he seems to turn a blind optic to the various interpersonal issues that happen within his unit. He just flat-out doesn't get along with most of his brothers, and he does nothing to try and make them work things out. He reasons that it ultimately doesn't matter, because despite it all, as long as they can get the job done, that's far more important than everyone getting along.

### Armaments

* Tetrajet Transformation
* Arm Cannons

Like all Seekers, Eagle Eye has two rifles, one on each of his forearms, that function either as standard lasers or Null Rays to paralyze most technology, including other Cybertronians. He's also able to detach them from his arms and hold them like a standard rifle.

* Heightened Scanners

Living up to his name, Eagle Eye has advanced scanners and optic sensors, capable of focusing on objects up to 20 miles away.

### Relationships

#### Tailwind

Eagle Eye and Tailwind often partner up for scouting operations, and as such, get along very well.

### Notes

Eagle Eye's name & occupation are both based off of this G1 Autobot Micromaster.

## Nightflight

* Robot Mode
* Tetrajet Mode

### Alt Mode

Tetrajet

Nightflight is a member of the Seeker unit commanded by General Strika.

### Personality

Nightflight is a scavenger. As a spy, he always goes for the easy score, listening in on unguarded conversations and stealing thoughtlessly-abandoned items; as a warrior, he's always on the lookout for a cheap shot and a safe kill. Many of his fellow Destrons consider him a coward, but Nightflight knows better. He's good at what he does, and that's all he cares about.

### Skills & Weapons

* Tetrajet Transformation

* Null Ray Guns

### Notes

Like many other Destron Seekers that only appeared as background characters in the original cartoon, Nightflight's name comes from one of the jet-based Micromasters; in this case, a Micromaster jet that just happened to share his mixture of a purple and grey paint job.

## Tracer

### Alt Mode

Tetrajet (Cybertronian Form)Jet Fighter (Earth Form)

Tracer is a member of the Seeker unit commanded by General Strika. Due to a manufacturing error, his face was painted blue.

### Personality

Tracer is your average soldier, following his orders without question. As such, he tends to blend into the background, the only thing making him pop out from the crowd being his blue face.

### Skills & Weapons

* Tetrajet Transformation

* Arm Cannons

Like all Seekers, Tracer has two rifles, one on each of his forearms, that function either as standard lasers or Null Rays to paralyze most technology, including other Cybertronians. He's also able to detach them from his arms and hold them like a standard rifle.

### Relationships

#### Fellow Seekers

Tracer seemed to get along with all of his comrades.

### Notes

Like many of his teammates, Tracer's appearance comes from the second part of the More Than Meets the Eye episode from the original 80's cartoon. While it is hard to make out his face, many fans believe it to simply be colored like the rest of his body; so, he's been given a blue face so as to make him just a little more distinct in his brief appearance.

## Uplink

{{Cybertronian\_Infobox|title1=Uplink|image1=Uplink.jpg|allies=[[Strika] (c/o)

Thundercracker

Skywarp|rivals/enemies=Autobots|gender=Male|allegiance=Destrons

* Seekers|alt\_mode=None (monoformer)|voice\_actor=n/a (original)}}

Uplink is a Seeker that acts as a part of General Strika's Seeker squadron. However, due to a factory error that left several of his parts and even his T-Cog missing, he can not transform, so he simply acts as the unit's communications officer.

## Personality

Due to his factory defect, Uplink usually tries to keep to himself, preferring only to do his job. Still though, he does care a lot about his teammates, and always tries his hardest to use his skills to help them out however he can from his end. And though he prefers not to fight, he's willing to step up and enter the frontlines if he needs to (or is ordered to, of course), especially when he feels that the rest of his team might be in trouble.

### Armaments

* Communication Skills
* Null Ray

### Notes

Uplink is based off of a rather strange generic Seeker from the More than Meets the Eye 3-parter of the original cartoon, appearing on the side of the frame with no shoulder vents or wings like the others. While this could obviously just be seen as another one of the show's numerous animation errors, this sparked an idea to give him a backstory that explains his peculiar appearance with the Cybertronian equivalent of a rare "factory error" during his creation. It also helps to give Sunstorm and (most of) his team a few morality points, as he's still treated as part of the team as much as anyone else.

* This resulted in him becoming the Mission Control for the Destrons' side, sort of like Soundwave in the original cartoon, just a little less willing to rush into a fight. This is also where his name comes from, with the only other "Uplink" in Transformers media being a newsbot that was meant to appear in the unproduced TF Animated Season 4.

## Storm Cloud

### Alt Mode

Tetrajet

Storm Cloud is a member of the Destron Seeker Air Force.

### Personality

An expert in electronic warfare, Storm Cloud prefers to remain high above the battle, raining electromagnetic interference down on his enemies. His onboard communications package is second to none, with the most advanced decryption software in the galaxy, and laser antennas powerful enough to insert data into radio transmissions as they move. He can insert corrupted data into Autobot transmissions without even needing to intercept them, causing chaos on the battlefield below.

### Skills & Weapons

* Tetrajet Transformation

* Arm Cannons
