Autobots

Optimus Prime

Ratchet

Bumblebee

Ironhide

  • Badass Grandpa: He's the oldest-sounding of the Autobots, and is still strong enough to offline two Brutes within five seconds and with his bare hands.
  • Keith Szarabajka
  • Super Strength: Both the above feat and lifting up a statue many times his size are the results of this.

Warpath

Sideswipe

Silverbolt

Air Raid

Jetfire

Zeta Prime

Omega Supreme

Jazz

  • Cameo: Can be seen in the Kaon Prison Complex with Arcee.
  • DLC

Arcee


Decepticons

Megatron

  • Arm Cannon: His default weapon.
  • Asskicking Equals Authority / Authority Equals Asskicking: He fought his way to his command through the gladiator pits, and consistently proves himself to be the most combat-savvy of the Decepticons.
  • Badass: You try to tell him he can't do something like, say, defeat the entire Autobot army and decapitate it? Or maybe taking down the frighteningly huge and powerful Omega Supreme? He will do it anyway.
  • Bad Boss: To the regular Decepticon soldiers, if they dare protest. If the named officers complain or try to suggest a less suicidal alternative, though, he'll tell them to shut up.

"Unacceptable! They should be victorious, or dead!"

  • Big Bad
  • Catch Phrase: I shall not be denied!
  • Determinator: Protest as to the otherwise absolutely suicidal nature of the current mission, he will roar for the course to be stayed. Even if it means ramming a frigate right into a space station, while he's on the bridge.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Breakdown seems to have a particular gift for bringing it out of him.

Megatron: "Into the tunnels, Decepticons, and try not to be crushed by the trains."
Breakdown: "You're joking, right?"

Megatron: "Yes, Breakdown, I'm famous for my sparkling sense of humor."

Brawl

Barricade

Soundwave

Voiced by Isaac Singleton Jr.

Starscream

Skywarp

Thundercracker

  • Anti-Villain
  • Captain Obvious
  • Only Sane Man: He's really the only Decepticon seen who isn't bloodthirsty or fanatical, and by the sound of things would prefer some scientific study of Cybertron's literal underworld.

Breakdown

  • Bunny Ears Lawyer: Despite his nerves and whining, he's fast and a competent soldier otherwise.
  • Butt Monkey: Megatron snarks and yells at him the most. If only because he's the only one that doesn't get executed for back talk.
  • Cowardly Lion: He's always whining about Megatron's suicidal plans, but he's still up there with him at the front.
  • Crispin Freeman

Trypticon

Trypticon: "You thought you could destroy me? You thought you could destroy Trypticon? Ha! Pathetic!"
Bumblebee: "He's just laughing at us!"

Trypticon: "Abandon hope, vermin; your death approaches!"

Shockwave

Slipstream
