Skyquake

* Robot Mode
* Bomber Mode

Skyquake is a minor supporting character in Transformers Loud. He's an Air Commandant of the Destron Armed Forces.

## Personality

Skyquake's loyalties are unlikely to be questioned anytime soon. One of the most well-known and well-respected Destron Seeker commanders, he is completely loyal to the cause. He won't just obey every order, he'll follow them to the letter until a superior officer says otherwise, regardless of the passage of time. He also possesses a rather short temper towards the disloyal, and is not beyond backhanding even a superior officer who gets in the way of his Prime's will. This is made all the worse (for his enemies, at least) as in battle, Skyquake is a cold, calculating destroyer that's utterly cold, calculating and rational. Otherwise, he's actually a polite guy when it comes down to it, even to his targets and foes. He's succinct, and will not mince his words. It's nothing personal, it's just orders from his leader.

## Skills & Weapons

* Transformation

Skyquake is able to transform into a large Cybertronian bomber aircraft.

* Bombs

Each of Skyquake's wings contain a rolling drum that drops Predator-type missiles to carpet bomb his targets.
* Sensors

Skyquake's body is equipped with an absurd quantity of sensors built into his body, with his troops saying that he's able to absorb vast amounts of information.

* Laser Gattling Gun

Skyquake's main firearm is a large, eight-barreled Gattling Gun able to fire ten-thousand lasers per minute.

* Blaster

## Notes

Skyquake's appearance in this series, while maintaining his (frankly awesome) original design from the European G1 toyline, more so gives him the personality of his duty-bound Prime counterpart so as to give a bit more of an interesting personality than just "hating anything that's not 100% evil" as his original toy bio described him (though whether he will have Dreadwing for a brother in this series is to be determined). This even goes as far as to making the gattling gun he had in Prime his main weapon in this series.
Archforce

* Robot Mode
* Tank Mode

Scourge & Cyclonus (for now)

### Rivals/Enemies

AutobotsAnyone who dares to defy his orders or he sees as another stepping stone

### Alt Mode

Cybertronian Tank

Archforce is an antagonist in Season 3 of Transformers Loud. He's a general in the Destron Armed Forces, and is one of the most famously ruthless at that, both in how he fights and how he deals with other higher-ups.

## Personality

Archforce is a powerful and dangerous combination of brute strength, military cunning, ruthlessness and terror. He's willing to destroy everything in his path to fulfill his mission of destroying anyone who defies either the empire, and more importantly, himself. Enemy camps fall before the speed and strength of his tank mode, and he knows no weakness.

He's also not one to be above using dirty tactics. In particular, against his own fellow Destrons. He very much enjoys the idea of reaching higher lengths the command todum pole has to offer and will actively choose to leave other commanders to die if it means he might have a ; he even has a secret desire to become the next Prime.

## History

### Pre-Series

Archforce was one of the many Cybertronians left behind on Cybertron during the Quintesson invasion. When Cyclonus and Scourge started their revolution, he was one of the many that joined the fight, though Archforce made a name for himself in particular for how brutal he was against the Sharkticon hordes. He and Scourge would meet up several times over the course of the war, and would become good friends.

## Armaments & Abilities

* Transformation

Archforce is able to transform into a powerful Cybertronian tank.

* Rifle

Archforce has a laser rifle that can attach to his turret in tank mode.

* Missiles

Archforce has two high-powered missiles attached to the sides of his forearms - which subsequently attach to the sides of his turret in tank mode - that he can manually launch.

* Main Cannon

Archforce has a powerful Fusion Cannon attached to his shoulder in robot mode and becomes the main gun for his tank mode's turret.

## Notes

Archforce combines the European name given to the Generation 2 "Hero Megatron" figure. Though as a bit more of a twist to it, this name is given to the redeco the toy recieved even later in life in the Robots in Disguise 2001 toyline under the name "Bludgeon", mostly due to it having a bit more of an appealing color palette. Since obviously a more in-character version of Bludgeon appears as a regular character in this series,

* And if that weren't enough parallels, his team in the series is based off of the main group of "grunt" Predacons - the Combatrons - from Beast Wars II that were partially led by Megatron's "lookalike" Megastorm.
* His and Scourge's dynamic acts as another nod, this time to their shared branding as "Destructicons" in the RID toyline, as well as an obvious nod to their moldmates.

Archforce's part in this series is really to act as the final push in the Earth-based Destrons' character development, presenting a jerk higher-up just so vile it pushes them all past their limits after enough build-up throughout the season prior to his appearance.
Golgonath Seven

Golgonath Seven is a planet featured in Season 3 of Transformers Loud. It is a planet covered in ongoing snowfall on the surface, but inside the planet's crust is very strong metals. It was here that a squadron of Autobot rebels would establish an excavation operation to mine said metals in hopes of creating new weapons to help them take down the Destron Empire.

## Notes

The original Golgonath Seven in the G1 cartoon was just a name Kup mentioned in one of his old war stories. Its name was used really just because Kup also mentioned that it had "slave mines". This series takes that and, basing its appearance off of Iron Planet from Energon, turns it into a planet akin to Crait in Star Wars, though with the white surface covering the world being snow instead of salt and metals rather than general minerals.
Crankcase

* Robot Mode
* Vehicle Mode

Misfire

Knock Out

Breakdown

Dead End

Cyclonus & Scourge

Crankcase is a major character in Transformers Loud. Able to transform into a "haz-mat operations" emergency vehicle, he's the perpetually grumpy and cynical mechanic/pilot of Krok's Destron unit.

## Personality

His name isn't Crankcase for nothing, as he's quite the cynical little 'bot with a dash of frequent deadpan snark. With the frequent cry of "Bah!", he can be found frowning all the time and grumbling about practically anything, often taking the opportunity to snark at anyone he can think of.

However, surprisingly, he's actually one of the most competent members of his unit, as he tends to have his head in the game more than most of his teammates. He's surprisingly brave and resourceful when danger rears it's head despite his relative small size and lack of real combat skill. His dream is to be respected as a great warrior and/or leader like famous Destrons like Cyclonus or Sixshot. He might actually be a good leader: only problem with that is that he's too lazy to try. Despite his aspirations, he's shown to be really lazy and remarkably unmotivated to do... anything really, to the point that he actually gets nervous when the possibility of getting an actual job comes up.

Although one thing that he *does* love is piloting ships, and would personally love to own his own personal starship.

## History

### Joining the Cause

Once a geeky collection of circuits and servos with a dream to become a great pilot, Crankcase began life as a menial janitor in the Fuel-Spill Section of the Ministry of Energy and Nutrition on Cybertron, where he was relentlessly bullied by his stronger coworkers.

## Abilities

* Transformation

* Laser Hand

* Shoulder Cannons

Crankcase has a unique feature where he has a pair high-impact laser blasters that flip out of his back.

## Notes

Crankcase's inclusion in this series is, like many of his teammates, based off of his appearance & team in More than Meets the Eye, the Scavengers, which also acts as the basis for his personality here, including his love for piloting.

Crankcase's appearance in this series is taken from his Wal-Mart exclusive redeco of Cybertron Red Alert from the 2007 Movie toyline.
Punch

* Punch
* Counterpunch
* Car Mode

Punch is a minor character in Transformers Loud. He's a member of the Autobot Resistance with the unique ability to disguise himself as a Destron named "Counterpunch", which he uses to infiltrate Destron facilities and relay his findings of their plans and other important details to his allies.

## Personality

Punch is a usually calm-headed individual that can take charge and keep others calm in a crisis. As Counterpunch, he's taken up the personality of an aloof loner who prefers to just skulk around the base, which he naturally uses as his ticket to be alone for his investigations.

## History

### The Rebellion

Many years ago, Punch was constructed in Harmonex with a unique T-Cog that allowed him to adopt a second robot mode. From there, he used his unique ability to become one of the most revered actors in the history of Cybertron's theatre circle, where he would perform duo acts in his plays, even sometimes doing two roles onstage. But, when he caught wind of former Destron commanding officers Ironhide and Kup started a resistance movement, he was one of the first to rally to the cause, and decided to put his second form to use by giving it the name of "Counterpunch" volunteering to become a double spy for the cause. From there, he would frequently alternate between the two factions, fighting alongside his brothers-in-arms on the frontlines and "helping" his Destron colleagues gather information and moving supplies while leaking vital information to the rebellion.

## Abilities

* Transformation

* Disguise

Punch's main ability, he's able to convert himself into a Destron robot mode.

* Laser Rifle
Tom Banachek

**For the time being, Banachek will be represented by his appearance in the Transformers Titan Magazine comics.**

## Agent Tom Banachek

### Voice Actor

Michael O'Neill

Tom Banachek is a recurring character in Transformers Loud. He's a member of the U.S. Government that acts the main liason between them and Team Rodimus.

## Personality

Banachek is a very serious-minded individual, always focusing on his assigned objective above everything else, especially when people's lives are at risk. However, he is shown to be quite open-minded, as he was willing to meet the Autobots and speak to them on their level and will even go to great lengths to get them whatever resources his superiors can arrange for them.

## Skills & Equipment

* Intelligence Gathering

* Hand-to-hand Combat

## Notes

Banachek's role in this series is inspired by Agent Fowler from Prime as the autobots' main goverment liason (mostly because he's the only member of the movie S-7 that wasn't a jerk).
Xantium

The Xantium is a Autobot starship featured in Transformers Loud. It and its sister unit, the Hyperion, were created to counteract the Destrons' own battleships.

## Armaments

* Transwarp Drive

* Laser Cannons

The Xantium has several laser cannons housed all over the bow of the ship.

* Main Gun

The Xantium's main gun is housed on the underside of the ship from the red spot on the bottom of the ship's tip.

## Notes

The Xantium, like several space-bound craft featured in the series, is taken directly from the Armada cartoon, so as to lean a lot more into other sci-fi action tropes, giving the series Star Wars-esque space battles.

The ship's name comes from an Autobot ship from the IDW comics.
First Aid

Luan Loud

First Aid is a character in Transformers Loud. He's a Cybertronian deputy medical officer that serves in the Autobot Resistence. He originally acted as the assistant to ex-chief medical officer Ratchet in his medical facility on Delphi, though he would set off with the rest of the Resistence when they came to the planet & acted as the main medic for Ultra Magnus's crew until they reached Nebulos.

## Personality

First Aid is a compassionate and gentle being who cares deeply about all living things. Heck, he even cares deeply about the "pain" of inanimate objects. He's generally soft-spoken and sometimes overly cautious sort (especially when it comes to the well-being of a fellow Autobot), and is an avowed pacifist. This sometimes reaches a point where he'll believe that his pacifism sometimes clashes with the rest of the resistence and makes him a rather ineffective member of the group. Still, all the Autobots know he will work long and hard to do his best for them and that their well-being matters to him more than anything, and those are quite comforting thoughts.

## Abilities & Equipment

* Transformation
* Medical Expertise
* Laser Pistol

While he is usually averse to fighting, First Aid does carry a laser pistol

## Notes

Like several G1 characters, while hints of the pacifist he was portrayed as in the G1 cartoon, First Aid's portrayal in this series takes influence from his supporting role in IDW's "More than Meets the Eye" comics, with him starting out as an assitant at a medical facility before joining the main "quest".
Autoscout

The Autoscout is a drone seen in Transformers Loud. They are a type of Drone created by Destron science, based off of the same technology used by Soundwave's Mini-Cons, that can be released and used for scouting duties that are considered too dangerous for other Destrons. They are programmed to analyze and report their findings to their operator.

## Equipment

The Autoscout had the ability to scan and report on objects.

* Claw Arm

The Autoscout has a little claw arm that it can use to grab objects and return them to its operator.
Swerve

* Robot Mode
* Vehicle Mode

Kup

Swerve is a recurring character in Transformers Loud. He was originally a bartender in the city of Nyon, but soon found himself joining the Autobot Resistance along with most of everyone else in the city, mostly in hopes of doing something a little more notable in his life. He's a Motor Mouth who loves talking with everyone but is secretly very lonely and desperate for companionship. He loves pranking and irritating his fellow crewmembers.

## Personality

Gregarious would be a good word to describe Swerve. So would outgoing, enthusiastic, upbeat, joyfully irreverent, flippant, sarcastic, troll, or "total pain in the aft", depending on which side of his weapons-grade mouth you happen to fall on and how long you've been listening to him use it. Swerve has a sense of fun and even whimsy that stands out from your run of the mill Autobots fairly dramatically, but this constant running commentary stems at least partially from Swerve's low self-esteem, a coping mechanism that helps to cover up some of his own insecurities. The little fellow may get on their nerves... he'll probably get on their nerves... but it'll always be with a smile, a laugh, and an epic level quip, making him a good bartender.

## Armaments & Abilities

* Transformation
* Laser Pistol

## Notes

Swerve is of course another addition in this series based off of his fan favorite appearance in More than Meets the Eye, particularly his role as a bartender.
Hyperion

The Hyperion is a Autobot starship featured in Transformers Loud. It and its sister unit, the Xantium, were created to counteract the Destrons' own battleships.

## Armaments

* Transwarp Drive
* Ring Thrusters

The Hyperion has two thrusters on each of its two gold rings.

* Laser Cannons

The Hyperion has several laser cannons housed all over the bow of the ship.

* Main Gun

The Hyperion's main gun is housed on the underside of the ship.

## Notes

The Hyperion, like several space-bound craft featured in the series, is taken directly from the Armada cartoon, so as to lean a lot more into other sci-fi action tropes, giving the series Star Wars-esque space battles.

The ship's name comes from another Autobot ship from Armada.
Team Rodimus (episode)

***Not to be confused for the name of the main cast's team.***

"Team Rodimus" is the fourth episode of Season 2.5 of Transformers Loud, and is the fourty-seventh episode of the series overall.

## Summary

On the final night of their camping trip, Team Rodimus share how they managed to break the rest of the Autobots out of the impenetrable Trypticon Prison and became true heroes of the Resistence.

## Featured Characters

* Springer
* Jazz
* Skids
* Sideswipe
* Smokescreen
* Mirage
* Hoist
* Tracks
* Wheeljack
* Ironhide
* Mudflap
* Ultra Magnus
* Seeker Generics
* Scourge
* Cyclonus
* Leni Loud
* Luna Loud
* Luan Loud
* Lynn Loud Jr.
* Lincoln Loud
* Lucy Loud
* Lana Loud
* Lola Loud
* Lisa Loud
* Rita Loud
* Lynn Loud Sr.

## Notes

This episode is heavily inspired by both the attempt to break Princess Leia out of the Death Star in "A New Hope" and the "Kaon Prison Break" chapter of the War for Cybertron game. This sort of "Great Escape"-type plot was thought up to give the mini-series an exciting finale and as a big showing of how Team Rodimus truly turned into the (well, makeshift) heroes they are in the present.
Skywarp

* Robot Mode
* Tetrajet Mode

Slipstream (captain)

Strika (commanding officer)

Skywarp is a minor character in Transformers Loud. He's a commanding officer of the Destron Seeker Air Force, and is one of the most feared members of the Corps thanks to his unique ability to teleport. He works closely with his brother Thundercracker, and is an old "acquantaince" of Starscream's.

## Personality

Skywarp is a cruel, uncaring joker, pulling off tricks whenever he feels like, no matter the situation, whether it be against an Autobot or one of his teammates.

## Abilities & Equipment

* Transformation

Like all Seekers, Skywarp is able to transform into a Tetrajet jet fighter.

* Flight

Thanks to his jet form, Skywarp is able to fly great distances in both robot and vehicle mode, thanks to his thrusters being housed in his feet.

* Null Rays
* Missiles
* Teleportation

Skywarp has the unique ability to teleport up to 2.5 miles away. He can also change forms in the middle of the teleportation.
Bulkhead

* Robot Mode
* Truck Mode

Team Rodimus

* Springer
* Smokescreen
* Arcee

Hound

Mirage

Bulkhead is a major supporting character in Transformers Loud, introduced in Season 2.5. He's a rather "large" but helpful Cybertronian that acts as another piece of muscle for the Autobot Rebellion.

## Personality

Bulkhead may look huge and menacing, but he's actually quite careless and gentle-souled. Though he's neither a brainiac nor a fast runner, he's a very sturdy member of the Resistance. He's afraid of hurting things smaller and more fragile than him, but making some new friends in the Loud kids after reuniting with Team Rod has helped him grow past that. He's endlessly loyal to and protective of his friends, and has a low tolerance for jerks and bullies. He's actually more than willing to let punks like that stew in the trouble they've made for themselves, but his better impulses - or at least, needling from those around him - always sway him into helping in the end.

## History

### Pre-Series

Bulkhead spent his formative years "growing up" in the city of Nyon where he did "oddjobs", working pretty much anywhere he thought a big guy like him needed to help out: construction sites, helping move supplies from shipyards, you name it. He also got along very well with practically everyone in the city (except maybe Wasp).

## Armaments & Abilities

* Transformation

Bulkhead is able to transform into a Cybertronian truck.

* Thick Armor

Thanks to his large form, Bulkhead is able to take a lot of damage, tanking a good amount of laser blasts and punches & kicks.

* Wrecking Ball

Bulkhead is able to convert either of his fists into a mace to inflict even more damage to his enemies.

* Blaster

## Relationships

### Team Rodimus

Bulkhead was an old friend to all the members of Team Rodimus in their youth, being that big guy that they could all count on to help with the heavy lifting. He also proved to be a wholesale when he joined the Rebellion alongside them.

## Notes

Bulk's inclusion in this series is just to give the big guy a little more attention than the franchise has been giving him as of late, even if it isn't that big of a role. And while his personality in this series is mostly based off of his more battle-hardened appearance in Prime, he's made to have a bit more of his Animated incarnation's "huggable" factor. Heck, he even has a dynamic with Wasp in this show based off of their time in Autoboot Camp.
Uplink

Cyclonus

Scourge

Uplink is a major supporting character in Transformers Loud. He is a Destron Seeker that acts as a part of Sunstorm's 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

## Relationships

### Starscream

While he's not as vocal about it as the others, Uplink , especially when it comes to his comments about how his defects don't make him a "true warrior".

### Tracer

Like the others, Uplink was crushed by Tracer's unexpected death.

## 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.
Fireflight

* Robot Mode
* Jet Mode

Air Raid

Slingshot

Starscream (commanding officer)

Fireflight is a character featured in Transformers Loud. He acts as the reconnaisance unit for the Predacons' aerial division.

## Personality

Fireflight combines a childlike sense of wonder with the soul of a daydreamer, resulting (unfortunately) in one major menace to airborne navigation. Near collisions and crashes come fast and frequent when he's around. He does means well and has a good heart, he just can't help losing himself in the beauty of the world when seen from the sky. It's hard for his teammates to get too mad at someone so filled with wonder and innocence, but at the same time it's also hard to fly next to someone who's never paying any attention to where he's going.

## Skills & Armaments

* Transformation
* Laser Pistol
* Combination

Fireflight is able to combine with his fellow Aerialbots to form Superion, with Fireflight himself forming the right arm.
Chromia

* Robot Mode
* Car Mode

Perceptor (c/o)

Brawn

Tracks

Grapple

Hoist

Chromia is a character in Transformers Loud. She's a member of the Autobot Resistance, serving as a Counter Intelligence agent. She eventually found herself in the unit serving under her former teacher Perceptor on the planet Zamojin.

## Personality

Chromia is a seasoned, tough-as-nails infiltrator who's adept at unflinching sabotage. Bluntly honest and a little too married to her job, she doesn't make an ideal friend, but she can nevertheless be fiercely protective, a quality which also makes her an exceptional bodyguard. Her rough edges often find her a kinship with other like-minded security officers like Ironhide.

## Skills & Equipment

* Laser Pistol

* Transformation

## Notes

Chromia being a part of Perceptor's group in her introduction is a nod to the two's short-lived dynamic in Cyberverse, mainly so as to have someone on Percy's team that's willing to defend him not being a full-blown soldier, similar to how Bumblebee defended him in one of his spotlight episode of the G1 cartoon, "Microbots".
Jetfire

* Robot Mode
* Jet Form

Omega Supreme

Team Rodimus & The Loud Family

Jetfire is a recurring character in Transformers Loud. He and his brother Skyfire act as troop transport, ace pilots, soldiers for the Autobot Resistance.

## Personality

"Jets" is a fly-boy that loves taking to the skies, flying as high and as far as his thrusters will let him and as long as he desires. He's also extremely friendly, often taking the time to know each Autobot in casual "fun" stuff through Energon drinking games and the like, to the point taht he often comes across as a little too carefree while in the barracks. But while relaxed with his fellow rebels, he nonetheless becomes all business when it's time for action. He is heroic in battle, caring not about size or number of enemies; with a take-on-all-comers' mentality. He takes his duties very seriously, and will follow through on his orders no matter what. Equally efficient and effective on the ground and in the air, he is air, mobile and ground capable.

## Abilities & Equipment

* Transformation
* Hyper Booster Pack

Designed by his brother, Jetfire has a personally-designed booster pack attached to his back, which he can use as either a jet pack to fly in robot mode or to give himself the extra boost in jet mode he needs to fly at great speeds.

* Head Laser Guns

Jetfire has two double-barreled adjustable laser guns on the sides of his head unit that are able to turn up and down. He's even able to use them as extra firepower while in jet mode.

* Missiles

Jetfire's extra boosters on his legs have about six missiles loaded inside of them.

* Blasters

Jetfire has a pair of laser blasters attached to both sides of his main cockpit.

* Laser Rifle

## Notes

For those unaware, "Jet"fire is the name of the toy that was released as part of the 1985 toyline while "Sky"fire was the character that appeared in the G1 cartoon. This is because the toy was actually a repaint of the VF-1S Super Valkyrie from the popular Mecha anime Super Dimensional Fortress Macross (better known in the west as Robotech). So because it was from a toyline not own by Takara - even worse, it was produced by one of Takara's main rivals - the toy wasn't sold in Japan and the animation model had to be adjusted to look less like the toy as a compromise. But, this series decides to play with that and have both "versions" of the character appear here, mostly by working them into being brothers, a role based off Jetfire's appearance in Animated where he had a brother there in the form of Jetstorm (which also gets a nod in this season, as well). To also help with this, Skyfire's characterization is meant to be a cross between the science-based mind of his original G1 self, while Jets has the personality of the jovial space shuttle from Armada.
Misfire

* Robot Mode
* Jet Mode (Cybertron)

Missy (Leni)

Crankcase

Spinister

Knock Out

Breakdown

Dead End

Cyclonus & Scourge

Misfire (real name Flyhigh) is a major character in Transformers Loud. Able to transform into a "haz-mat operations" emergency vehicle, he's the cheery pink aerial fighter of Krok's Destron unit with a love of talking and, as one can assume from his nickname, has really, *really* bad aim.

## Personality

Misfire is a overly-hyper, chatty eccentric with a colorful, often melodramatic way of speaking, though he can come off as a bit rude at points. Moreover, he also has the cybertronian equivalent of ADHD, as he can get distracted easily - which yes, is also another factor into his poor aim. Heck, his unit would probably be at least halfway effective if it weren't for him. From accidentally shooting his own teammates during fights to nearly ruining a jailbreak by stopping for snacks, there are times where it seems like he's intentionally trying to get the others killed. Of course he isn't really, as he does genuinely care about all his comrades, almost like a family. In general actually, he's easily the nicest of them, having shown considerable empathy towards innocents or those who need help, including the Loud kids. And hey, he will hit his target every once in a while at least.

## Abilities

* Transformation

* Laser Gun

## Relationships

### Clobber

Misfire and Clobber are best friends, with the two often seen together goofing off or having conversations over rather silly things, like Earth stuff they think is funny. In their off-time, they'll often go off on their own to try and improve Mis's aiming to... very poor results (though not helped much by how far Clobber throws them sometimes).

### Skids & Luan Loud

Misfire hit it off very quickly with Luan and Skids after both teams first ran into each other, thanks to their shared love of recaps and puns.

## Notes

Misfire's inclusion in this series is, like many of his teammates, based off of his appearance & team in More than Meets the Eye, the Scavengers; which also acts as the basis for his personality here.

* Though ironically, of the four Scavengers featured, Misfire was the only one that actually appeared in the orignal Sunbow cartoon and given a voice actor.

Misfire's appearance in this series is mainly taken from his original G1 character design, though his original head design has been replaced with his design in MTMTE.

Misfire and Clobber being buddies is meant to be based off of Cyberverse's version of Lockdown; though rather than be about them resigning themselves to their place at the bottom of the chain of the troops, it's more so just due to them being the "goobers" of Krok's unit.
Darksteel

* Robot Mode
* Car Mode

Darksteel is a minor antagonist in Season 3 in Transformers Loud. He's a soldier of the Destron Empire, studying under the Circle of Light to be a deadly fighter against those that defy the Empire's rule.

## Personality

Darksteel is a traditionalist. As a student of the Circle of Light, he's learned there is no substitute for a razor-sharp blade and clever mind. Blasters and cannons get the job done, but may fail in the heat of battle. There's nothing else with the killing power or reliability of a good blade.

## Armaments & Abilities

* Transformation
* Blaster
* Arm Blades

Darksteel has two blades on the sides of his arms that fold up and down.

## Relationships

### Deadlock

Though their dynamic is never truly gone into detail (or even if they ever met), Darksteel still sees Deadlock's turning on the Circle an offense of the highest order. So much so that he wanted to kill Sideswipe just so Deadlock would suffer.

## Notes

Darksteel's inclusion in this series is meant to be a play on him being a redeco of Dark of the Moon Sideswipe, showing a hypothetical match up between G1 Si' and Movie Si'. Though in addition, by replacing how his original profile describes how he was a student to some anonymous "most respected Decepticon warrior on Cybertron", he acts as a bit of foreshadowing to the presence the Circle of Light has throughout the third season.

* Plus, his design is meant to be a homage to Beast Wars Quickstrike, so that's fun.
Stuck in the Middle

"Stuck in the Middle" is the eighth episode of Season 2 of Transformers Loud, and is the first episode of the series overall.

## Featured Characters

* Skids
* Sideswipe
* Smokescreen
* Mirage
* Luan Loud
* Lynn Loud Jr.
* Lincoln Loud
* Lucy Loud
* Scourge
* Sunstorm
* Thundercracker
* Skystalker
* Skyhopper
* Tailwind
* Eagle Eye
* Blackout
* Tracer
* Uplink

## Notes

The episode's title is taken from the song "Stuck in the Middle with You" by Stealers Wheel, mainly as it centers around Lincoln's insecurities about being the middle child of the Loud family.
Hound

* Robot Mode
* Jeep Mode

Crosshairs

Wasp

Hound is a recurring character in Transformers Loud. Able to transform into a jeep, he's a member of the Autobot Resistance, and serves as an advance scout and can create holograms, which are aided by his multi-purpose vocal processor.

## Personality

The dark, barren metalscapes of Cybertron no longer interest Hound. After being shipwrecked on a planet covered in snow, he now has a strong desire to explore the terrain of other worlds. At the same time though he does treasure his job as an Autobot scout, making good use of his ability to project holograms for added disguise. This often has him acting as good-hearted prankster, pulling the odd hologram trick on nearly anybody (especially 'Cons). However, he does know when not to go too far, as to not majorly get on their nerves. He also uses this opportunity to explore the breathtaking caverns and mountainous expanses that other worlds provide.

## Abilities

* Transformation
* Laser Pistol

Hound is armed with a standard laser pistol.

* Shoulder Missile

Like some Autobots, Hound has a missile placed on his right shoulder which he can launch at his targets.

* Holograms

Hound is able to create a hologram, either on top of his body or simply a projection in front of him.

* Special Vocal Processor

Hound has a specially-made vocal processor, making him able to replicate any voice he chooses.

## Notes

Hound being partnered with Mirage and Crosshairs in his introductory episode as a nod to his dynamic with Crosshairs and Drift in Age of Extinction & The Last Knight, just with Mirage substituting for Drift obviously (though they are both blue car-formers with questionable allegance).

Hound is a rare case of one of the OG '84 Autobots to be given a new design in this series outside his normal Sunbow design. Here, his robot mode is taken from his appearance in the Spotlight: Galvatron comic designed by Guido Guidi while using his Siege figure's alt mode.
Long Haul

* Robot Mode
* Dump Truck Mode

Long Haul is a reoccurring antagonist in Transformers Loud. He's a member of the Constructicons, a small squad of Transformers created by Starscream to act as his builders for his New Cybertron and his enforcers. He also forms the lower torso of Devastator.

## Personality

The problem, as Long Haul sees it, is that he gets all the work and very little of the excitement and the glory that goes with being a warrior. He knows his job is important; he'd just much rather be on the front lines fighting shoulder to shoulder with fellow warriors than moving supplies and building installations to make sure those warriors continue fighting. However, he usually keeps these secret desires to himself though, as he's smart enough to know his bosses are not likely to be sympathetic and have no patience for grunts who question their orders.

## Abilities

* Transformation
* Laser Pistol
* Combination
The Metroplex

* Fortress Mode
* Battle Mode

The Metroplex is a location in Transformers Loud. It is a fortress that acts as the main headquarters of the Destrons.

## Key Locations

* Main Entrance

* Central Control Tower

* Control Towers

* Shuttle Landing Pad

* Lower Hanger Bays

### Armaments

In Battle Fortress Mode, the Metroplex deploys various weapons systems to utterly annihilate oncoming enemies. Such weapons include a pair of cannons that emerge from the centers of the folded-down back towers, as well as a pair that emerge from their sides, a double-barreled cannon stationed on top of the folded-in landing pad, and two large cannons that emerge from the decks in front of the lower hangers.

## Notes

Similarly to Trypticon, this version of the famous Autobot City-former is based off of "his" appearance in Animated, where it simply acts as a base. However, unlike that "incarnation" of the character, this base is still able to transform into Metroplex's battle platform mode, so it can do a little more than just "act like a building".
Brawl

* Robot Mode
* Tank Mode

Blast Off

Swindle

Strika

Brawl is a recurring antagonist in Transformers Loud. He serves as the muscle and heavy weapons unit of the Destron Empire's Combaticon crack commando unit.

## Personality

Brawl is built for one thing, and on thing alone – destruction. His programming has been gripped for as long as he can remember by a rage so deep and so hot that he feels little else. It's gotten to the point where some believe that it's his rage alone that fuels Bruticus. The only thing that allows him a few moments of happiness is the fury of combat. There is nothing so sweet to him as the thunderous noise of his shells bursting against the armor of a faltering opponent.

## Abilities & Equipment

* Transformation

Brawl is able to transform into a heavily-armored tank.

* Tank Cannon

Brawl's cannon in tank mode has a range of 600 miles.
* Super Strength
* Laser Blaster
* Bruticus Combination

Brawl is able to combine with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus, with Brawl himself forming the right leg.

## Notes

Brawl originally had a pair of "sonic cannons" on the back of his tank mode, but they have removed from this version of him just because they seemed a little too toyetic.
Warpath

* Robot Mode
* Tank Mode

Blaster (c/o)

Warpath is a character in Transformers Loud. He's a rather loud member of the Autobot resistance and transforms into a tank. When he first appears in the series, he acts as a part of Blaster's unit on the planet Eurythma.

## Personality

Warpath is the living definition of a loose cannon. He's loud, boisterous, VERY confident, and thanks to his main cannon being directly on his chest, it'll go off at seemingly any moment. And boy, does he love his gun. But, he's still fiercely loyal and devoted to his buddies, so at least his loyalty is never in question.

## History

### Pre-Series

Many years ago, Warpath and his close friend Powerglide joined the Destron corps to protect the peace, like many young, naive mechs before them, even having their bodies rebuilt into army-type weaponry (in Warpath's case, a tank). However, they soon lost their faith in the cause when they saw some of their "comrades" brutally assaulting several unarmed Autobot troops after a fierce battle, and trying to defend the . The surviving rebels managed to flee, but Warpath and Powerglide were placed under arrest for assaulting fellow officers and "disrupting the peace". After a "fair" trial, the two were found guilty and were slated for execution. Several cycles later, the duo were placed on a stage in a town square in front of a crowd of Cybertronian citizens. Thankfully for the flyboy and literal tank-buster, a small group of Autobots led by Rodimus managed to disrupt the "ceremony", breaking them free of their chains and helped them escape, leading them back to their temporary base.

## Armaments

* Transformation

Warpath is able to transform into a Cybertronian tank.

* Enhanced Armor

As befitting a tank, Warpath has very tough & durable armor.

* Enhanced Strength
* Cannon

## Notes

Warpath's appearance in this series is based off of his toy from the Generations toyline, since it helps give him a much bulkier appearance befitting his personality and the tank gives him a more alien alt mode since it's not really based off of any real life tanks.
Rita Loud

### Relatives

Lynn Loud Sr. (husband)Lori Loud, Leni Loud, Luna Loud, Luan Loud, Lynn Loud Jr., Lucy Loud, Lana Loud, Lola Loud and Lisa Loud (daughters)

Lincoln Loud (son)

### Enemies

DestronsSector Seven (for threatening her children)

### Voice Actor

Jill Talley

Rita Loud is a supporting character in Transformers Loud. She's the mother of the Loud Family and wife of Lynn Loud Sr..

## Personality

When you’re a mom of ten kids, you tend to wear many different hats. Rita is organized and keeps the family running like a well-oiled machine. She’s always ready to jump into action during a crisis. She's very caring towards her children, but isn't afraid to punish them if they go too far. She's also an aspiring novelist, but initially seemed to lack a creative side.

## Relationships

### Lynn Loud Sr.

Rita and Lynn Sr. love each other very much, often acting very playfully romantic towards each other.

### Her Children

While she loves all ten of her children dearly, she's not afraid to be strict towards them when they cause a very severe blunder.

### Team Rodimus

While naturally alarmed by the presense of giant alien robots, and definetly didn't feel comfortable about them hanging around her children, Rita learned pretty quickly that Team Rodimus were just a bunch of good kids that wanted to help people. Soon enough, she began to think of them as a part of the family, even getting them involved with the family's holiday activities.
Hoist

* Robot Mode
* Truck Mode (Earth)

Sunstreaker

Sideswipe

Perceptor (c/o)

Brawn

Hoist is a major character in Transformers Loud. A member of the Autobot Resistance, he serves as partner to Tracks and a general repair bot. He eventually found himself in the unit serving under Perceptor on the planet Zamojin.

## Personality

Hoist is eager, jovial, and just all around guy who just wants to help. Always keen and willing, he enjoys working on protecting, repairing, and saving lives - 'bot and human alike - while providing a warm and friendly environment in his workshop, allowing his teammates to feel at ease whenever they pass through the medbay doors. All he demands that every Autobot stick to his maintenance schedule - no exceptions! However, don't think that his kindly nature makes him an easy target, as he's willing to fight as much as any of his brothers and blast away as many Destrons as he needs to. Whether he's hauling 'bots off to fix 'em up or providing covering fire, as long as he's providing assistance by protecting his friends and making them smile, then he can smile right back.

## Abilities & Equipment

* Transformation

Hoist is able to transform into an Earth tow truck, one that's strong enough to haul up to 40,000 lbs.

* Enhanced Strength
* Multi-Sensor

Hoist has a full-spectrum multi-sensor behind his head that is able to determine an object's composition, density, tensile strength, and energy properties.

* Welding Torch/Laser Gun

Hoist's right arm has a special "weapon" that can double as both a welding torch for repairs and as a laser rifle on the battlefield.

## Relationships

### Tracks

Tracks is Hoist's closest comrade on the team. The two have been friends for many years, even before Tracks hit the race circuit, where he served as both his "pit crew" and coach.

### Grapple

Grapple is Hoist's closest friend outside of the family, often acting as a sort-of consultant to the troubled artist's designs for buildings and the like in their off-hours.

## Notes

Like a majority of the Season 2 characters, Hoist's character model has been changed to make him more proportional, such as removing the kibble from his arms and make them more like his mold mate Trailbreaker, and the lower half of his body being completely replaced by the design for his Earthrise toy, mostly to give him an *actual* pelvis and the same blocky legs as the rest of the Cybertronian characters rather than his original tube-like ones.
Sam Sharp

Sam Sharp is a character in Transformers Loud, introduced properly in Season 1. She's one of Luna's band mates and later girlfriend.

## Personality

When she's not rocking out on her guitar, Sam is an outdoorsy girl who enjoys rock climbing, sailing, and spending time on farms. She's also quite the animal lover.

## Skills

* Musical Talent
* Rock Climbing

## Relationships

### Luna Loud

When they first got together, Sam and Luna found that they surprisingly don't have a lot in common aside from their shared interest in rock music and not being very good at baking, but they decided they could still take the time to learn new things about each other as a couple.

### Jazz

Sam felt... uncertain about Jazz at first, what with him being a twenty-foot tall robot and all. But she soon developed a solid friendship with him as thanks to their shared love of music and seeing how much of a "cool guy" he really is.

## Notes

A bit more time is taken with Sam and Luna's relationship in this series, right down to her being introduced and hooking up in Luna's first dedicated episode in the series. While obviously not to make her more important than her dynamics with Jazz and the sisters or anything else in Luna's life, more effort has been taken to flesh out the two's dynamic a little better than the original series did.
Autobot Starfighter

The Autobot Starfighter is a mass-produced vehicle featured in Transformers Loud. They were produced in great numbers by the Autobot Resistance so they could fight on the same level as the Destrons' Seeker Force, as well as to get more upclose and personal with their starships.

## Armaments

* Rotatable Thruster

The Starfighter's main thruster engine is able to turn downward to allow it to either hover or perform escape maneuvers.

* Laser Blasters

Each Autobot Starfighter has a laser cannon attached to both sides of its nosecone.

* Bomb Bay Doors

Each Autobot Starfighter has a bomb bay door stationed near the center of the craft, which house a dozen or so small pill-like energy bombs to drop onto the pilot's target.

## Notes

The Autobot Starfighter, like several space-bound craft featured in the series, is taken directly from the Armada cartoon, so as to lean a lot more into other sci-fi action tropes, giving the series Star Wars-esque space battles with some inspiration from Top Gun's dogfights. It also works storywise to give the more ground-based Autobots an aerial advantage over the more flight-centric Destrons.
