Robots in Disguise: |
There is a solution to that problem though - the Predacons have six protoforms (unimprinted Transformer bodies) stashed away, and Megatron brings them to a military base to activate them and give them the forms of Earth vehicles, to boost the Predacon ranks with a new subgroup he calls the Decepticons.
Imagine if Optimus Prime had been evil... imagine that the Decepticons had had a leader with Optimus
Prime's wisdom, his charisma, and his determination...
The Combiners
In missile trailer mode, Mega-Octane can launch missiles with a range of 6500 miles. Each missile carries enough explosives to turn everything within a 1 kilometer radius into a scorched wasteland. In robot mode, he carries a laser rifle. He can also transform into a combat station and perform maintenance on his teammates.
Armorhide specializes in desert warfare, and his body camouflage can fool even Optimus Prime's eyes. His favourite tactic is to dig camouflaged pitfalls in the desert sand, wait beneath the surface until an Autobot falls into his trap, before he rushes up and finishes off the trapped enemy with his weapons.
Movor transforms into a combat space shuttle, and is capable of achieving planetary orbit under his own power. He carries detection equipment so he can search for Autobots from orbit, and is equipped with a powerful, long-range x-ray laser that allows him to attack them from that distance.
Rollbar specializes in hand-to-hand combat. He is a skilled practiser of all types of ju-jutsu, and is an expert in Crystalocution - the Cybertronic martial art of defeating an opponent by attacking his metal fracture points. He's also very interested in Earthen martial arts.
Ro-Tor is responsible for reconnaissance. He isn't particularly fast in helicopter mode, but he has a tight turning radius and fantastic manoeuvrability. In addition he's almost soundless in flight, which allows him to sneak up on hapless Autobots and attack them from above. Ro-Tor likes to practice acrobatic flying in his free time.
Ruination can switch around his limbs at will, adapting instantly to various battle conditions. His rifles are so powerful that they can level an entire city. The Autobots: part1, part 2,

Decepticon roll call
Scourge
Scourge's tanker portion can split apart,
unfolding to become a battle base bristling with weaponry - a giant laser-targetting rocket launcher, a
ripple-fire missile blaster, and armour-piercing discs. Scourge can use the missile blaster in robot mode, but
prefers to swing his powerful light saber in battle.
Mega-Octane
Mega-Octane
is the cool, calculating leader of the Combiners. He is cruel and unfair,
and uses his four subordinates as if they were his own limbs - he expects them
to carry out his orders without question, and he has no tolerance with delays
or mistakes.
Mega-Octane
combines with his fellow Combiners to form the giant robot Ruination.
Armorhide
In tank mode, Armorhide can reach speeds
of 45 mph and has a range of 600 miles. His turret-mounted gun shoots a shell up to a distance of 3.5 miles
with an explosive force of 200 pounds of TNT. He can traverse any type of terrain, thanks to his
cybertitanium-alloy caterpillar treads. Armorhide combines with his fellow Combiners to form the giant
robot Ruination.
Movor
Movor has excellent
heat-resistance. He combines with his fellow Combiners to form the giant robot Ruination.
Rollbar
Rollbar prefers arctic environments, and
likes fighting on rainy days. He combines with his fellow Combiners to form the giant robot Ruination.
Ro-Tor
Ro-Tor combines with his fellow Combiners
to form the giant robot Ruination.
Ruination
Ruination is the 16 meter tall giant
robot formed of the five Combiners. He has no interest in anything but fighting, and is so atrociously
cruel that even Megatron fears him.
