** Wheeljack has his share of changes per continuity. In G1 he's a [[Gadgeteer Genius]] whose inventions have a varying degree of success. In ''[[Transformers Armada]],'' he is an Autobot turncoat who sides with the Decepticons. In ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' he's a member of the Wreckers, a [[Badass]] [[One-Man Army|One Bot Army]] who can take on multiple cons all at once.
** Ultra Magnus tends to be a high-ranking, powerful soldier connected to Optimus Prime in some way, sometimes being his brother. His characterization primarily comes from the rank of Supreme Autobot Leader somehow. In G1 he feared and avoided such responsibility despite being well cut out for it, in ''[[Transformers Robots in Disguise]]'' he was jealous of Prime for being chosen to be leader, and in ''Animated'' he ''already was'' a responsible leader who saw potential in the young rookie known as Optimus Prime.
** Sentinel Prime is far more vague, not even having a concrete basic visual design unlike most of the above, but somehow relates to being Optimus Prime's superior somehow. In G1 he doesn't have much of a characterization beyond dying and passing the Autobot Matrix of Leadership to Optimus, but was brought back for ''Animated'' as a complete and utter [[Jerkass]] who keeps rubbing it in Optimus' face that he is in the Elite Guard whereas Optimus is just a maintenance bot despite the fact the Optimus sacrificed his chances for the Elite Guard for him. [[hottip:*:<ref>Originally Rodimus was meant to be in this role, [[Executive Meddling|but that name being associated with such a jerk didn't sit well with Hasbro.]]</ref> In ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' however, he is Optimus' highly respected predecessor and mentor whom he brought [[Back From the Dead]] in hopes of ending the war {{spoiler|only to find out that he is a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] with [[A God Am I]] tendencies who [[Big Bad Duumvirate|allied with Megatron]] long ago in a plan to send [[Doomed Hometown|Cybertron]] to [[Earth]] and restore it using Earth's resources and [[Puny Earthlings]]}}. Notably, the two recent depictions of Sentinel Prime tend to play [[Actor Allusion]]/[[Ink Suit Actor]]. ''Animated'' Sentinel was voiced by [[Townsend Coleman]] and is basically [[The Tick]] in Transformer form, whereas ''DOTM'' Sentinel is modeled after his voice actor [[Leonard Nimoy]], and even shares a line with [[Star Trek: The Original Series|Spock]]
