Profile: Slog is the most tasteful and refined of his comrades. When he initially joined the Decepticons, they used his exceptional talent as an artist to produce sculptures and art pieces depicting the glory of the Decepticon empire and its leaders, and record their rise for posterity. Eventually, they realized Slog was a capable warrior as well as an artist, although his battlefield work is definitely more of the “abstract” variety. He carves up his foes on the battlefield more out of a desire to survive than actual spite, and he always attempts to make each of his victims a work of art to honor their memory. This aspect of war, and the fact that the Decepticons have no interest in supporting free expression and art, troubles Slog. Although he finds destruction the best way to create pure, chaotic art in an inanimate subject, he wonders about the lives lost in the Autobot/Decepticon conflict. Slog once organized an underground art show of his work, reflecting on the horrors of war in the twisted, rusting ruins of his foes. This led to the coining of a new art form—‘slogism’—and the use of the exhibit’s pictures in the Autobots’ anti-Decepticon broadcasts. This and occasional doubts about his cause have not pleased his Decepticon superiors.

Abilities: Subject possesses great intelligence and exceptional skill as an artist. He is a surprisingly effective warrior. As a robot, he is armed with a magnetic rifle that can be set to fire waves that repel or attract; it can even make its target’s bodies repel themselves, tearing apart metallic opponents. Combines with teammates to form Monstructor.

Weaknesses: Subject has bouts of depression that make him useless in combat.

Profile: Scowl feels like the victim of some cosmic joke. He had assumed that his alternate mode would strike fear and terror in his enemies, only to find out it elicited more laughs then screams. With his alternate mode a joke, Scowl instead focused on mastering his other abilities. He primarily focuses on using the power of sound waves to disrupt electronic equipment and, at more powerful decibel ranges, physical objects. He has become quite adept with his sonic talents, although the mockery of his alternate mode still stings him.

Abilities: Subject has above average strength and intelligence, and exceptional endurance and resistance to damage. In robot mode he has chest mounted speakers and ultrasonic hearing, allowing him to pinpoint the exact nature and location of even the dimmest sounds at a great distance. He can also generate sonic waves that can disrupt electronics and even, at maximum power, knock another Transformer off his feet. His sonic disruptor rifle can cause a target to either perceive damaging, over-amplified sound or total silence. He combines with his teammates to form Monstructor.

Weaknesses: Subject’s embarrassment of his alternate mode means he refuses to use it and any comments about it will send him into a rage or a depression.

History/Profile: Icepick is one of the most cheerful Transformers—he truly loves his job and believes in its purpose. He was quick to latch on to Decepticon ideals of replacing the old and weak with the strong, which likely explains his current specialty in demolitions. With all the fervor and ideological zeal of a propaganda ad, Icepick will gladly explain that it only makes sense to recycle the battered buildings of today into the technological marvels of a brave new future. His efforts to convert others to the Decepticon cause have met with very limited success, but the upper echelons of the movement do appreciate his ceaseless efforts on their behalf, no matter how misguided.

Abilities: Icepick possesses great strength and endurance, and above-average intelligence. In creature mode, Icepick can leap a distance of 1.8 miles at a time. As a robot, he is armed with a fireball bazooka.

Weakness(es): Although he believes in what he preaches, Icepick is not convinced of some of the more ruthless Decepticon tactics, especially when they involve unsuspecting victims.
