'''Function: Commander'''<br>
Alt. Mode: White Freightliner WFT-8664T Cabover Semi-Trailer Truck<br>
Line 54 ⟶ 57:
* [[Parental Substitute]]: A meta-example; to many children in the 1980's he is the strong yet loving and kind father that should have been there for them. Which is why his death in the movie was so hard hitting back then.
* [[Super Mode]]: Powermaster Optimus can now combine with his trailer to make "Super Optimus Prime."
* [[Transformation Trinket]]: Hi-Q for Powermaster Prime.
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Whole-heartedly believes that the universe can be a kinder and gentler place, in spite of all the pain, horror and sadness that he has witnessed in his long life.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: His rivalry with Megatron transcends petty hate into a deep respect and understanding: So much so that whenever they fight side by side for a common goal, they are unstoppable.
Line 87 ⟶ 91:
** Subverted in [[Transformers: The Movie]]. He is supposedly one of several killed Autobots. While the deceased are typically shown taking massive damage, Brawn's death scene only depicts him taking a shoulder wound. Fans have long doubted if this was enough to kill him.
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: He may be small compared to the other Autobots, but Brawn sure packs a mean wallop, and can easily take on opponents twice his size or more with sheer strength.
* [[The Rival]]: He seemed to fight Soundwave a lot during battles. TFWIKI even keeps track of the winners in their episode recaps.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: In [[Transformers Generation 2]], Megatron receives a series of upgrades and has more destructive abilities than before. He demonstrates said abilities by easily destroying the nigh-invulnerable Brawn.

'''Function: Espionage (Bumblebee), Espionage Director (Goldbug)'''<br>
Alt. Modes: Volkswagen Beetle, Futuristic Human Soldier (Pretender Shell)<br>
Line 107 ⟶ 116:
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: In "More than Meets the Eye, Part 3" the Autobots are trying to lure the Decepticons into a trap. Creating a fake rocket base as a target to their opponents. Bumblebee disguises himself as a human scientist. By simply wearing a lab coat over his regular humanoid form.
* [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up]]: In most continuities, he gets injured and must be repaired into a more adult-like form, Goldbug. In the comics, he gets injured ''again'' and gets reverted to his Bumblebee form but gains a Pretender shell.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Goldbug, to the Throttlebots.
 
Line 191 ⟶ 200:
* [[Badass Grandpa]]
* [[The Big Guy]]: Ol' Ironhide often found himself fillin' this role. Might have to do with his Texas drawl, or the fact that he's one o' the Autobot mos' likely ta forgo usin' weapons an' start bustin' Deceptichops with his bare hands.
* [[The Blank]]: The original Diaclone toys were meant to be piloted mechs rather than sentient robots. As a result, the toy of Ironhide (and his [[Palette Swap]] Ratchet) lacked a head. The toy box art has a vague eye design on the windshield (pictured above), and the toy itself has a robotic face decal that goes on the vehicle seat, implying that is the robot's head. Later reissues would include a cardboard cutout of Ironhide's head adding a head above the windshield, but this just his body awkward proportions (in particular, this made his arms connect to his abdomen). It would be decades before Ironhide (and Ratchet) got a toy that resembled his animated design.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Good Ol' Boy]]

'''Function: Special Operations Agent'''<br>
Alt. ModeModes: Martini Racing Porsche 935/76, Futuristic Patrol Officer (Pretender Shell)<br>
{{quote|"Do it with style or don’t bother doing it."}}
 
Jazz loves Earth culture. Always looking to learn more. His knowledge of Earth makes him the indispensable right-hand man to Optimus Prime. Takes most dangerous missions. Very cool, very stylish, very competent. Equipped with photon rifle, flamethrower, full-spectrum beacon, 180db stereo speakers. Creates dazzling, disorienting sound and light shows. Versatile, clever, daring, but prone to be distracted.<br>
 
Optimus Prime's right-hand man. A danger-loving daredevil with a bottomless bag of tricks. Loves Earth culture, particularly rock n' roll. Outer shell armed with semi-automatic ion pulse gun and deflector shield. Inner robot armed with photon rifle and hydraulic lifters in legs that enable him to jump over fifty feet. In race car mode, equipped with blinding, full-spectrum headlights and deafening 180 decibel speakers. Nitro-injected 12-cylinder engine allows him to reach speeds in excess of Mach 1. Thermal-sensitive windows also provide supplemental solar power.
-----
* [[Alien Arts Are Appreciated]]: He ''loves'' Earth culture and entertainment.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: He survived the movie, but wasn't seen too much afterwards.
** [[RealActor LifeExistence Writes the PlotFailure]]: His voice actor died.
* [[Cool Car]]: Jazz himself transforms into a Porsche 935, a famous racing car. Several of his animated appearances focus on his speed or depict him in a speed race.
* [[Indy Ploy]]: Jazz is supposed to be the master of improvisation among the Autobots, instantly adapting to even the most surprising situations. No indication of actually thinking ahead.
* [[Irony]]: His Pretender bio states that '''Jazz''' likes rock n' roll.
* [[Jive Turkey]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: He loves music.
* [[Number Two]] / [[The Lancer]]: Alternates with Prowl.
 
=== {{color|red|Mirage (Ligier (リジェ ''rije''))}} ===
Line 254 ⟶ 270:
Ratchet was the best tool-and-die man on Cybertron. In his workbay he can make anything from a pin to a missile. Repairs injured Autobots, given the right parts. Likes to party, give backtalk, but does any job as well as anyone. Has laser scalpels, arc-welders, electron microscopes, circuit sensors, fluid dispensers at his disposal. Sometimes his having a good time interferes with his effectiveness.
-----
* [[The Blank]]: See the entry under Ironhide.
* [[Combat Medic]]: While he is the designated medical officer, Ratchet also participates in the combat. For example, he fly-kicked Thundercracker in "Changing Gears".
* [[The Engineer]]: In the animated series, Ratchet is consistently partnered with Wheeljack when needed to upgrade various devices. The presumption being that the two share similar engineering skills.
* [[The Medic]]
* [[Palette Swap]]: Of Ironhide
* [[Screw the War, We're Partying]]: He's described as a party bot. Not that it comes up much.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: In the Marvel comics.
Line 323 ⟶ 341:
* [[Back from the Dead]]: A peculiar instance. In [[Transformers: The Movie]], Wheeljack is one of several characters killed. With his corpse depicted on screen. He re-appears and is actually given a major role in several episodes of [[Transformers Victory]]. With no explanation given.
* [[The Blank]]: Not entirely since he has eyes, but Wheeljack seems to lack any kind of mouth. Instead of having a mouth plate that moves when he talks (like Optimus or Soundwave), his ear fins flash with his speech patterns.
* [[Didn't Think This Through]]: Designing Transformers with the power of dinosaurs: good idea. Giving said Transformers the intelligence of those dinosaurs: bad idea.
* [[The Engineer]]
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: That said, his inventions have displayed a noted tendency to literally blow up in his face.
Line 340 ⟶ 359:
* [[Selective Magnetism]]: Windcharger's arms can be used as "the poles of a precisely controllable electromagnet, powerful enough to levitate ten tons of steel 700 feet away".
* [[The Voiceless]]: Windcharger had no speaking part in the initial episodes. The first time he speaks was in "Divide and Conquer", the 6th episode of the series.

'''Function: Dinobot Commander'''<br>
Alt. ModeModes: [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]], Human in Knight-Like Armor (Pretender Shell)<br>
{{quote|"Among the winners, there is no room for the weak."}}
 
Most fearsome and powerful Dinobot. Although dedicated to the Autobot cause, resents authority. Cold and merciless, but a valiant warrior. Has contempt for the weak, including all humans. Great strength, uses jaws to break almost anything in two. Carries energon sword and galaxial rocket launcher in Dinobot mode. Other than arrogance and lack of speed, has no real weakness.<br>
 
A raging, reckless robot. The most fearsome and powerful Dinobot ever. Particularly nasty when he's reminded that he now resembles a human. Outer shell equipped with jet pack and atom smashing submachine gun that pierces all forms of armor and eats away enemy fortifications. Inner robot armed with double-barrelled, self-propelled rocket launcher. In dinosaur mode, serrated steel jaws can tear through solid rock. Jet boosters in legs also provide flight capabilities.
 
==== {{color|red|Slag (スラッグ ''suraggu'')}} ====
Line 529 ⟶ 553:
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Sludge is probably the best example; he's the biggest of the Dinobots but also much friendlier and less aggressive than Grimlock, Slag or Snarl. Swoop, while the smallest Dinobot, is also the nicest and most easy-going, and has on occasion functioned as as a [[Gentle Giant]] to smaller Autobots or even humans.
** Yes, Grimlock ''is'' a violent killer who respects only strength, which also means he '''hates''' anyone who abuses strength (AKA, those who use it to bully the weak), giving him a brutal sense of compassion that eventually allowed him to soften into a still-savage-but-kind-hearted warrior.
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: Slag all the way. Just about anything will set him off. ''Anything''. Getting on Grimlock's bad side is pretty easy, too.
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Grimlock and Swoop
* [[Hulk Speak]]: Me Grimlock talk this way most of time. Other Dinobots too, mostly.
* [[Informed Attribute]]: The toy specs give Grimlock a 7 in intelligence and Snarl and Swoop both rate a 6.

{{quote|"Looks are always deceiving."}}
 
Arcee is one of the most dangerous Autobots, despite her comparatively small size. She believes the Decepticons must be stopped at all costs. That belief, combined with her combat training, makes her a pure warrior, a hunter who mixes speed and sudden action to strike the Decepticons whenever she can.

Line 1,222 ⟶ 1,254:
Spent several thousand years cruching numbers at Cybertron's Insitute for Higher Programming before a Decepticon attack reduced it to a pile of smoking microchips. Binary-bonded to Stylor, an egotistical Nebulan more concerned with personal appearance than warfare. In car mode, maximum speed: 478 mph. Range: 630 miles. Hood-mounted infra-red range finder automatically targets roof-mounted dual lasers.
-----
* [[The Dandy]]: Stylor always keeps up with the latest fashion trends.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Rewind, in ''[[The Transformers IDW]]''.
* [[Interrogating the Dead]]: In IDW he's a "mnemosurgeon" that can read robots' memories, especially dead 'bots.
