I got a couple of ideas, one of which is a former character of mine I'd like to see in action again.
Name: Redfire One
Motto: Mind the paintwork!
Alt Mode: Large air/space transport (I generally used the G1 Scourge alt).
Robot Description: Never really got that far, so whatever you want.
Background: Redfire One was once a Decepticon, the heavy aerial/space transport for exitium. Despite his large size, he is very vain, and would often refuse to carry some his former team's less restraint members for fear of what they would do to his innards.
Redfire One left exitium at around the same time as they joined the Predacon cause. As far as it has been reported, he refused to take the 'upgrade', fearing it would mean he was no longer really a 'Transformer'. He was also reported to see it as a betrayal of the ideals he had been programmed with as a Decepticon. However, unofficially, other stories have emerged. Stories of the mysterious 'Universal Migrator', who replaced Redfire One in the team.
Once Redfire One had left exitium, he was left with the task of finding a new unit. He bounced from one unit to the next, each one treating him as some form of inferior being, or even as a traitor for what his former team mates had done in defecting. After years of this, his belife in the Decepticon cause had all but waned, he was 'volunteered' into a particularly hopeless mission. It was here he meet [insert relevant member of your team here] who found him abandoned and close to permanent Stasis Lock. He began to realise during his recovery that he actually felt much more at home with the Autobots than he ever really did with his former masters. Defection though is no easy thing. The Autobot High Command do not truly trust him. After cycles of observation and menial transport mission, they eventully asigned him to the Firestomers, as much as anything else because they were the only Autobot unit who knew him and really trusted him.
Still under constant surveillance by his superiors, Redfire One is now not only still extremely vain, but very paranoid, both of his current comrades, and his former allies, looking to execute him for defection.
(I was thinking, if you want to develop the character you can explore his relationship with the Autobot High Command, and with his former allies. You can also delve into the 'real' reason for his leaving exituim, I left it vague on purpose so I could develop it later, but never got the chance to bring the character back before I decided to change my team. Also, as far as I'm concerned, exitium are not dead, so you are welcome to have them interact with him in fictions.)

Name: Heavytread
Motto: Everything breaks.
Alt Mode: Heavy tank or walker.
Robot Description: BIG. Again, I don't really think about robot modes unless I attempt to draw em.
Background: Big, strong and stupid.
Heavytread is fresh out of the Autobot academy. And it shows. Although he is a match for most in hand to hand combat, and carries the kind of firepower that can level small cities with ease, he is tactically inept, and more than adept at biting off more than he can chew. He will however carry out any order given by any superior, and is incredibly loyal to the Autobot cause.
(It could be fun to see his loyalty to the Autobots tested, either due to his blind following of orders, or his biting off more than he can chew once too often and suffering permant damage (mental or physical) that effects him badly over the long term.)
