Profile: Anyone who has seen Wildrider on the roadway and managed to survive later harbours no doubt about how the Decepticon earned his name. With endless malicious energy, Wildrider destroys property and lives with the same grating cackle and careless, erratic manner. His insane antics have been so effective at spreading fear and terror that Wildrider's superiors have taken notice, congratulating him on his technique. These accolades are lost on Wildrider, who responds only with a quizzical look and terrifying laugh—he knows he's not following any plan; he really just is that crazy. Wildrider can't stand quiet, so his actions are all geared towards making the loudest ruckus possible. To torment him, Motormaster sometimes orders the other Stunticons to be utterly quiet; the devilish leader then laughs about Wildrider's frantic reaction.

Abilities: Subject possesses above-average strength and intelligence. He is very manoeuvrable in vehicle mode and can reach a top speed of 299 mph. He can also deploy a trunk-mounted double-barrelled plasma cannon in this mode. As a robot, he wields a scattershot gun that fires an erratic flurry of powerful laser beams at a range of ¼ mile. The beams' firing pattern fills 50 square feet and can destroy a building in a fraction of a breem.

Weaknesses: Subject's driving makes him prone to damage such as blow-outs, which require maintenance. His irrational fear of quiet can make him nervous and ineffective as a warrior. Subject's need to create noise makes it impossible for him to follow through on plans requiring secrecy.

Motormaster

Allegiance: Decepticon
Sub-group: Stunticons
Function: Stunticon Leader
Alt. mode: International LoneStar sleeper tractor-trailer
Weapons: Atom-smasher/cyclone Rifle, Energo Blade

Profile: [Incarceration Report D3111934: Red Alert, Autobot Security Director] The best way to put Motormaster in perspective is this: How vile must a Decepticon be to earn the hatred and disgust of his own comrades? Motormaster is the answer to that question. It’s not just his absolute cruelty and remorselessness that make him a menace; it’s the unhidden joy he takes in causing pain and suffering, even among his own troops. He’s a master of simple-minded bullying psychology, mentally torturing his warriors into effective soldiers. Motormaster acts from the sense of entitlement that defies conscience, never letting anyone forget that he’s utterly convinced of his own invincibility. And he’s not far off in that respect, since his level of power makes it difficult to hinder, let alone stop, him from performing whatever atrocity springs to his diabolical mind.

Abilities: Motormaster’s physical strength and resistance to damage is exceptional. At his vehicle mode’s top speed of 198 mph, Motormaster can crush a 20-foot block of concrete into powder with no apparent damage to himself. He’s been known to claim that not even the legendary Optimus Prime could withstand being rammed by him. As a robot, he wields an energo-blade and an atom-smasher rifle, which shoots a high-energy beam of protons that can shred all but the densest materials.

Weaknesses: Although he consumes fuel at a high rate, Motormaster has no real physical liabilities. The utter contempt most Decepticons have for him limits his chances of getting help, but he rarely needs any.

Breakdown

Allegiance: Decepticons
Function: Scout
Alt-mode: Lamborghini Gallardo
Height: 26 ft/7.93 m
Abilities: none
Weapons: Concussion Rifle
Quote: “Keep your sensors to yourself!”


Strength: 6
Dexterity: 8

Endurance: 5
Courage: 8
Firepower: 6
Accuracy: 7
Melee: 6
Tech Skill: 6
Charisma: 4
Rank: 6

Profile: When Breakdown is in his car mode, he thinks everyone else is staring at him. Not just living creatures such as other Transformers and humans, but humans' cars, stoplights... anything mechanical. Heavy traffic can be a particularly nerve-wracking experience for him. His circuits sometimes get so overloaded with worry that he even stalls out. The root of his concerns is that someone will see him for what he really is- an alien on a strange world. Despite his earthly disguise, Breakdown is constantly aware that underneath the hood he is different, and the thought haunts him.

In battle, he is hesitant at times and tends to think the worst of situations, even when that may not be the case. His complaining tends to be an annoyance to his peers though is easily brought under control by threats from his peers, and Megatron. Even in the face of a certain death, the only thing that drives him to complete his objective is the fear of Megatron's wrath.

He'd be happier if he were a human-that way he feels he could just anonymously fit in anywhere and be in a better position to help conquer the Earth!

Abilities: The rumbling vibration produced by Breakdown's engine while he's in car mode can cause mechanical failures in other vehicles. He can travel at speeds of up to 220 mph. In robot mode, he uses a weapon of a similar nature-a concussion cannon-to get the same results, except with the cannon he's better able to target his prey and the effects are more devastating.

Weaknesses: Often Breakdown's extreme self-consciousness negatively affects his performance, particularly in his role as a scout in which he must venture into numerous tension-producing situations. Breakdown tends to complain over dangerous situations while in battle. He also suffers from his own mechanical problems-a sometimes leaky fuel pump in both car and robot modes that can grind him to a halt.

Dead End

Allegiance: Decepticon
Sub-group: Stunticons
Function: Warrior
Alt. mode: Porsche 911 model year 2011
Weapons: Compressor Air Rifle, Trunk-Mounted Double-Barreled Compressed Air Cannon
Special Abilities: Dead End emanates a radar signal that allows him to detect the movements of any vehicle or robot within a 200-mile radius as well as map surrounding terrain.
Height: 26 ft / 7.93 m

Profile: The most encouraging thing Dead End is capable of saying before combat, is that he hopes he doesn't suffer too much when his inevitable death comes. Pessimism is a way of life for Dead End, whose reliably dour mood has become a source of humour among his fellow Stunticons, particularly the mean-spirited Motormaster. He'll tease Dead End about his incessant moping and bizarrely intense maintenance and beautification routines, which only serves to further crush Dead End's broken spirit. Dead End likes to keep himself looking and feeling perfect so that when the end does arrive, he'll leave an attractive corpse to let everyone know what they'll be missing. He finds conflict pointless since everyone will wind up dead eventually, but he becomes a surprisingly fearless and ferocious fighter when stirred to combat. That's the only time his outlook improves because it focuses Dead End on his desire to live: he may be convinced he'll become inoperative eventually, but he doesn't want to do it anytime soon.

Abilities: Subject possesses significantly above-average strength and above-average intelligence. Once roused to fight, he's a highly effective warrior. As a vehicle, he can reach a top speed of 220 mph. His internal radar system allows him to track the movements of vehicles and robots within a 200-mile radius; he can use the information to map terrain, enemy positions, and troop movements. He can use this knowledge to lead enemy combatants into traps before they can figure out the lay of the land. Subject can deploy a double-barreled compressed air cannon as a vehicle; in robot mode, he uses a handheld compressed air rifle. Even the smaller rifle is capable of delivering 40,000 psi of pressure.

Weaknesses: Subject is extremely difficult to motivate into fighting, often requiring a direct verbal or physical assault (from the Autobots or even Motormaster) before he answers the call to arms.

Drag Strip

Allegiance: Decepticons
Function: Warrior
Alt. Mode: Dodge Viper ACR
Height: 26 ft / 7.93 m

Profile: Drag Strip would rather be scrapped than lose. It doesn't matter what the competition is he's involved in - racing, fighting or even just trading insults - Drag Strip always aims to come out on top. Maybe it's because he needs to feel important, maybe he enjoys humiliating others. It makes no difference. To beat an opponent, he'll pull the nastiest, most underhanded tricks. And he relishes his victories. He makes certain everyone within earshot knows about them. He loves to gloat, and his fellow Stunticons feel he's a selfish, egotistical boor and would just as soon not have him around. Even Decepticon leader Megatron finds him insufferable and would sooner smelt him than talk to him. But he knows that as rotten as Drag Strip is for the Decepticons to be around, he's even worse company for the Autobots. And that, in Megatron's opinion, is a character trait to be much admired.

Abilities: In car mode, Drag Strip can reach speeds of 299 mph and comes equipped with a plasma energy blaster that shoots an explosive ball of energy a distance of about 2000 yards. In robot mode, he uses a gravito-gun that enhances the gravitational field of a localized area so that anyone walking into the area would either be crushed by the increased gravity or have his body ripped apart as the gravity pulls him from different directions.

Weaknesses: In car mode, Drag Strip is prone to overheating, particularly at high speeds. His cooling system has been known to explode. He also suffers from the ill will of many of his fellow Deceptions, a definite liability in battle when he might require their cooperation.
