Transformers Trinity Autobot Teams post crash Character Bios.

Warning: Minor Spoilers.

Team Prime

Optimus Prime: scanned local red truck (Prime)

Bio: G1 Optimus Prime. Principled, Selefles and Loyal to the Core. During his studies under Alpha Trion, he chose to follow the philosophy of ‘Freedom is the Right of all Sentient Beings.’ even if that means the freedom to make a wrong choice. He adopted this philosophy from the oldest scriptures of Primus that still remained after it and Alpha Trion’s teachings resonated with him like nothing else had. It was because of this that he found a close friendship with Megatronus (megatron) back towards the end of the Age of Rust. But once it became apparent that Megatronus valued equality more than freedom, their friendship first began to fracture, then broke when Orion stopped him destroying the Iacon Central Library and Hall of Records. Once elevated to Prime during the war, in one of the last Cybertron Council sessions, and upon receiving the Matrix, he added to his personal philosophy that Greater Goods are only Great in as much as they are supported by the ‘Lesser’ goods, and that any lesser Good sacrificed in the name of a Greater good, tarnishes the greater good. That is how he leads the Autobots. They are not his to control. They are his responsibility. All of them.

Hard Head: keeps original mode after capture (Gunnery Seargent)

Bio: From Planet Master, but moved to Cybertron to join the Elite Guard with 3 other headmasters just as the war broke out. During training, he found he had an aptitude for heavy weapons and artilery support, thus also modifying his Transtector to reflect his chosen role. While never serving in the front lines, he was never far from the most dangerous battles, often serving under the AutoTrooper himself. Towards the end of the war, he found himself acting Chief for the last fully equipped artillery battalion until it was bombed in a blitz. Since then he served in defense of Iacon’s last stronhold under Prime until he was chosen to serve on the Ark on their near suicide mission.

He’s still relatively young, but the war’s turned him old before his time. Being but a headmaster with Transtector does lead to some insecurity and sensitivity to his actual size, though he only ever reverts to pilot his vehicle mode. While he once had ambitions of Officer Candidacy, his time in the war taught him that he could do more and better as an NCO. Namely an experience where he had to take the role of ‘Acting Leutenant’ during the third battle of Tyrest. While his actions and decisions were praised by Optimus himself, he couldn’t agree. Since, he’s served as best he can as a soldier, but knows that a full and proper battlefield commission is on the way after the next catastrophe. He secretly hopes he can join the Wreckers before that happens.

Minerva: scanned EMT car near her crash site (Lieutenant, Medical Corps)

Bio: Was a first year medical student when the war broke out fully. Knowing her calling to be a doctor and healer, she tried to drop out immediately and join the Elite Guard Medical Corps, but at the time she was denied due to her status as a medical student. She spent the beginning years of the war continuing her studies as the University of Ankmor until it falls to a Decepticon Blitz, at which time she’s accepted into Ratchet’s field medic training program at Iacon due to her special circumstances. While brave in spirit, the constant spectre of the war during her studies weighed heavy on her, and the Blitz that drove her from her education and family nearly broke her. This, along with her natural perfectionist nature, made her field medic training more difficult than others despite her innate talent. During the latter years of the war, Ratchet made her his official assistant and triage specialist which she excelled at and eventually steeled herself to the realities of frontline meical service, though she did still secretly cry in her sleep for all the sparks she couldn’t save one way or another. When ratchet was selected as Optimus’ medical officer for this final mission, she came along as chief nurse without question.

Excellion: Scanned Dodge sports car in Johnny Law’s driveway (ARC Trooper)

Bio: One of the last graduates from the Elite Guard Basic training before the Cybertronian Couincil fell. Since then, he’s served dutifully in defense of Iacon, but always harbored a certian hunger for glory and wander-lust for front line scouting and reconnaissance duty, something he had joined the Elite guard to do along Cybertron’s highways and known paths, but the nature of the war made the Elite guard almost purely defensive. Once the Elite guard were rolled into the standard military, he’s been very eager to prove himself, much to the annoyance of Ultra Magnus. It was this eagerness that made Optimus finally consider him for this mission, as suicidal as the description was.

Bulkhead: scanned military truck and joined convoy returning to Grissom (Maximus) (where he shortly met up with Hardhead again)

Bio: Optmus wanted at least a few wreckers there to help command his ground forces. Bulkhead was one of the ones whose lot came up when cast. All would’ve gone, but that would’ve left none for Cybertron. One of the more experienced Wreckers, a member even before Orion became Optimus, but as a reservist. Dayjob of a Builder in the more rural parts of Cybertron. While seemingly an easy going bot during good times, and always up for a game of Scrap-Lob or Plasma Tag, his principles are second only to Optimus and he knows who and what he’s about and is more than willing to die for his fellow soldiers. Impactor always said he was a True Soldier who moon-lit as a builder. Naturally, he went active again even before the war itself broke out and served with his brothers with Honor and Destinction, Gaining the rank of Maximus shortly before his lot fell in with the Ark Crew.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Ratchet

Ratchet: scanned light ambulance (Commander, Medical Corps) More or less Prime Ratchet, but in a close but somewhat unsaid relationship with Drift. Before the war, he was a career Guard doctor serving at the Quintus Prime Guard Medical Complex in Iacon, but frequently getting called away to attend to special cases due to skill and knowledge. Thus when the Decepticon Uprising turned into all out war, he was Optimus' first choice to serve with his unit and to serve on the Ark.

Drift: Scanned signature sports car from state highway (Ensign/acting battle preist) Formerly Decepticon Inquisitor Deadlock before defecting, bringing great shame on his master and superior Bludgeon (and ‘taking’ his sword from him). When he rejoined the Autobot cause, he started as just a soldier but was field commissioned to Ensign so he could serve as an acting Battle Preist (chaplian) since the Decepticons had essentially erradicated all of them early in the war.

Wheeljack: Lancia Rally car Scanned from racecar driver’s backyard (Warrant Officer 1). Mostly G1 Wheeljack. Before the war, he worked as a resident technician and equipment repair man in Iacon's outlying districts, Once the war broke out, he enlisted rather than evacuate with the lion's share of cybertronians because he knew he could help. Optimus' resistance cell and through accelerated training. Once on the front line, his skill quickly and technical knowledge quickly advanced him to Warrant Officer, and a natural pick when he volunteered for the Ark mission.

Sunstreaker: Scanned Project Car Lambo (ARC Trooper). Twin brother of Sideswipe. Joined with him when the draft started, volunteering rather than waiting to be selected. An overall competent solder who is rather proud of his image and physique.

Rewind: Retains Tank and Memory stick modes. Technically a non-combatant information/archive bot. Was on Ark by special request of Chrome Dome and does his best to contribute, but feels very out of place in a military unit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Ironhide

Ironhide: Ford F350 scanned at truckstop (Warrant Officer 4) Weapons and amunition specialis. Elected to make Warrant Officer rather than maximus to avoid the leadership BS present in even the Autobot military, and served with Orion Pax/Optimus Prime at the beginning of the war. Knowledge and practical understanding of weapons systems second to none in either the Autobot or Decepticon militaries. Impactor even once asked him ‘why the hell aren’t you a wrecker’. He’s good at what he does and doesn’t give a frag about anyone else’s opinion. Since early in the war, he has been trying to train Hound as his second/successor.

Chromedome: Self constructed vehicle mode (Lt Commander) Arrived on Cybertron with Hardhead and two others, decided to join the Academy rather than the enlisted rates along with Brainstorm. Unlike Brainstorm, he didnt have a problem with being a headmaster himself, but over time at the academy he would try to draw less and less attention to it.

Hound: Jeep Wrangler scanned at same truck stop (ARC Operator) Generally considered Ironhide’s protije back on cybertron and now on earth too. However, his interests encompass more than just weaponry but overall combat tactics and survival. Once actually impressed Ironhide by getting them and their squad back to an autobot base after their hopper went down in a heavy jamming zone.

Sideswipe: Scanned Lambo at same truckstop (ARC Trooper) Twin brother of Sunstreaker. Always felt he could never compete with Sunstreaker, so focuses more on being technically skilled and adaptable rather than the perfect image of a soldier. Decent at thinking on his feet, but often over-eager and often gets in over his head.

Tailgate: Scanned Pontiac Tans-am, but is undersized. (Cadet=>Ensign) Was in his second semester of the Elite Guard Academy intending to be a logistics officer when the campus came under surprise attack by the decepticons. Earned field promotion to Ensign after making sure the defenders had enough ammunition to cover the retreat of the rest of the student body. (by his own admission more luck since he had simply known where the unruly cadets were hiding supplies, and was on good terms with the school MA).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Bumblebee

Note: Override standing in for Mirage.

Bumblebee: MIni Cooper (Lieutenant): G1 and WFC Bumblebee, but things have gotten serious. Graduate of Iacon Central Univeristy Guard ROTC when the war broke out, thus immediatly going active and under the command of Optimus Prime. Being the mint of a well connected but humble family, he originally joined the Gurard ROTC for better prospects after college level education (namely wanting to see more of Cybertron and it's colonies than civilian life would have allowed).

MIrage: Czinger 21C supercar (Seargent): Equipped with experimental stealth technology, the most experienced bot left and effective leader. Volunteered for Guard Light Infantry and advanced quickly to Seargent on skill. Before the war, his unit was selcted to help test and evaluate advanced equipment for Guard Special Opperations, with the promise that his unit would be advanced to Special Operations status upon the conclusions of the trials. However, more than half his unit were clandestine decepticons, and Mirage himself barely got away and to Optimus' territory when the uprising broke out. He still uses and maintains the special active stealth equipment he had been testing when the war broke out.

Huffer: Semi-Shunter (ARC Trooper) Logistics and supply bot who is now in way over his head. Signed on because he knew support would be needed, but was secretly hoping never to see combat, and because the rest of his cell did too. (Brawn, Gears, Hauler, Warpath, and Seaspray). Stared as a low level teamster and courier between the central space port and Decagon regions of Iacon. Huffer and his friends were fortunate enough to not be anywhere near the fighting when the uprising broke out, however, when the draft started, he and his friends volunteers for Optimus' Autobot group because they knew it was the right thing to do. (namely allowing as many as wanted to to escape the decepticon regime.)

Wasp: Died in Crash (Trooper) (Recovered and rebuilt by decepticons) Knew Bumblebee from back in primary education, though only cause Wasp was Bee’s bully back then. As adult bots they got on well enough though there would always be some tension between them, however until the crash, he and Bumblebee had thoroughly earned eacother’s trust.

Rampage (armada wheeljack): Presumed Dead (Trooper) (Recovered by decepticons and rebuilt into Predacon Rampage): a somewhat bitter but green solder when the war turned into insurgncy action. Never truly trusted any of his bots but could work well enough with anyone due to necessity. Joined Bumblebee’s group after his last group got scattered and decimated by a decepticon K-class assault. After the crash landing on earth, he was presumed dead due to how damaged his pod seemed by both Mirage and the seekers alike, only for him to wake up hours later and be captured, believing he was abandoned by those who crashed with him. (Later reformatted into the Predacon Rampage by The Agency)
