Transformers: Shattered Glass/Characters

Decepticon Characters and Subfactions
"In this universe, the Decepticons were created when young mathematician Megatron noticed in his numerical studies of social trends that civil war was almost certain.

Megatron
"Megatron was a young mathematician who lectured at a university on Cybertron. However, he noticed something disturbing, civil war was coming. Eventually Optimus Prime and his evil army of Autobots took over Cybertron, but Megatron had been forming an underground resistance movement to take back Cybertron and keep the Autobots from conquering the universe and plundering it, as the Decepticons."

They improved themselves physically--including Optronix becoming the powerful Optimus Prime--and eventually seized control of the planet via a coup."

 * Badass: This is Optimus Prime we're talking about.
 * Badass Bookworm: While Megatron was the one to invent the transforming technology in this setting, Optimus was smart enough to reverse engineer it. Plus, he started out as a librarian.

 * From Nobody to Nightmare

 * Limp and Livid

 * No Celebrities Were Harmed: He's an "evil Bing Crosby".

 * Back Alley Doctor

Hound
"Hound often proclaims himself as the "Master Of Fear", using his Psycho-Projector to cause people to hallucinate of the victims worst nightmares and become incapacitated."


 * Fantastic Racism: In a counterpoint to G1 Hound's Tin Man nature, SG Hound is at once hateful towards and fearful of organics, particularly humans.

Huffer
"Huffer is an amiable, ever-smiling optimist. He is very unusual for an Autobot as a result."

 * Verbal Tic

Omega Doom
"Omega Doom is the ultimate weapon of the tyrant Optimus Prime."


 * Person of Mass Destruction

Ratchet
"Ratchet is the Autobots' "medic". Optimus Prime sometimes sends wounded Autobots to him, but not for repairs. They are sent to him for punishment, mostly to receive unnecessary "upgrades"."

Seaspray
"Seaspray is fascinated by Earth's oceans and is known for reporting every detail of them whenever possible to his fellow Autobots."


 * Obliviously Evil

Side Burn
"Side Burn is diligent and devoted to the Autobot cause, but some Autobots have difficulty trusting him."


 * Affably Evil: While not quite nice, exactly, he does seem to lack the bloodthirsty and capriciously cruel nature of the average Autobot, and even seems to like the humans.

Sky Lynx

 * The Atoner: Sky Lynx seeks to make up for his humiliating defeat by any means possible.
 * Bigger On the Inside: His shuttle mode.

Star Saber
"When the war started, Star Saber became one of the evil Autobots. Unfortunately, thanks to his rotten luck, he's been stuck at the bottom of the ranks."


 * Butt Monkey: Nobody likes Star Saber, not even Swoop who otherwise loves everybody.

Tailgate
"Unlike many of the other Autobots, Tailgate loves humans, though in the way that someone would love a gerbil, dog, or cat. He ends up "adopting" Butch as his "pet human"."

Wheeljack
"Wheeljack is a mad scientist in every sense of the word. He was laughed right out of the Autobot ranks for a long while, though he eventually managed to get himself back in."


 * Berserk Button: Never, ever call him crazy.

 * Lazy Bum
 * Sizeshifter

Seekers
"An elite attack squad composed of Autobots with various sportscar altmodes and black color schemes. Drench used to be their leader until Optimus had him assassinated for being too "soft".

Now Rodimus, himself a former Wrecker, leads the squad."

 * Hook Hand: It's a buzzsaw, but it's in the same spirit.

 * Wicked Cultured
 * Yes Man: To Optimus Prime.

 * The Starscream: To Rodimus
 * Verbal Tic

Technobots

Computron

 * Combining Mecha
 * Dumb Muscle

Afterburner

 * Yes Man

Lightspeed

 * Lack of Empathy

Dinobots/Cons
"The Dinobots & Dinocons were created in a chain of events that amounted to an unwitting joint venture between the Decepticons and Autobots. Grimlock was initially created by Starscream, but deactivated when he proved to be too dimwitted and violent, then was stolen by Optimus Prime. He then in turn was hijacked by Wheeljack, who reverse engineered Grimlock's AI matrix and created a horde of other Dinobots in an attempt to attack Optimus Prime. When the attack failed, the Dinobots scattered and were eventually recaptured by other sides, then even later were granted embers and full life by a mysterious computer. Half the Dinobots now follow Grimlock and Optimus, while the other half are now "Dinocons" and follow Megatron, having been reprogrammed by Starscream to be a bit smarter and nicer."

Grimlock
"Grimlock was created in a Decepticon lab by Megatron to be a warrior who would help the Decepticons, but Megatron ordered his deactivation after his violent tendencies emerged. He was put into storage never to be awakened again. However, when Optimus Prime heard of his creation, he stole Grimlock and reactivated him."


 * Ascended Extra / Canon Immigrant: The intelligent version was initially intended solely for the April Fool's comic, but fans loved it so much it was later applied to the canon version.
 * Genius Bruiser: After acquiring intelligence. If properly agitated, he can regress to his bestial state, though.
 * Hulk Speak
 * Verbal Tic: After gaining intelligence, tends to add "Wot?" at the end of his sentences (possibly in a Shout Out to a certain Freelance Peacekeeping Agent from G1, yes?)

Swoop
"Swoop is a joyful, friendly Dinobot who wishes to be everyone's friend."


 * Affably Evil: Swoop really really likes everybody and just wants to be your friend! He's very genuinely sorry he has orders to kidnap you or possibly kill you, as he'd really rather hug you and love you and call you George.

Goryu
"Goryu is typical for a Dinobot in any universe. Big and dumb, he is now in custody of the heroic Decepticons."


 * Dumb Muscle: Like all of the Dinocons, Goryu isn't a bright bot even after Starscream's neural upgrades
 * Meaningful Name: Goryu has a horn: and he really, really wants to gore you.

Overkill
"Like Goryu, Overkill used to be a typical Dinobot. And also like Goryu, was eventually captured by the Decepticons and reprogrammed by Starscream."

 * Ted Baxter: Slugfest has a very high opinion of himself.

 * The Medic

Landquake

Skyfall
"Originally an inhabitant of the planet Velocitron in the Unicron Trilogy universe, he took up the role of lone explorer after realizing he lacked the obsession with racing that his fellow planet-mates had. He spent his time charting distant star systems in his ship, until he met up with Ramjet and Landquake and discovered he had a greater destiny. An overwhelming inescapable feeling that he's linked to a mystery haunts him wherever he goes, though he quests on regardless of his unease at the things he discovers."


 * The Hero
 * Only Sane Man: Seems to be the most "normal" of the group, and tends to find his whole quest, the dimensions they've been traveling through, and his fellow combiner mates, all really weird and strange.

Topspin
