Profile:
Blackstrike was a common engineer before the war, spending all day fixing and improving stuff, he just loved to do that. When the war started, he and his brother stayed as civilians, not wanting to get involved in the war. But when the Decepticons attacked Iacon, his brother was taken by the Decepticons, and that was the last time he saw him.

After much thinking he realized that, if he didn't do something, the war was going to destroy his beloved world. He thought that maybe his engineering skills could help the Autobots, so he enlisted them. His tech skills proved valuable in the following battles; always improving his weapons as well as the others Autobots' weapons. When he wasn't in battle, he was always alone, not wanting to make friends, because for him, if he had another mech he cared about, sooner or later the war was going to take him. That was until he met Air Raid. The two were exactly the opposite, Air Raid was a little arrogant, reckless, impatient and brave but with almost no skill in mechanics and Blackstrike was kind, humble, strategist and not so brave. Despite this, the two quickly became really good friends. Air Raid was only the first of the many friends Blackstrike made during war.

By the end of the war in Cybertron, Blackstrike, Air Raid and several other mechs were sent in a mission to recapture a strategic post; which was heavily defended by the Decepticons. When they were near enough to the location, he along with the rest of the flying 'bots transformed into their flying mode and launched an air attack to the 'cons. It was in this battle that Air Raid was hit by a heat-seeking missile. When Air Raid was falling to the ground, Blackstrike remembered his brother and launch himself to his aid. He was able to catch and let him in the ground but was shot by several 'cons, and he entered a stasis lock. Before he entered stasis lock, Blackstrike could swear that he saw his brother fighting for the 'cons, but before he could see if it was his brother, he was shot down into stasis lock.

After approximate a deca-cycle Blackstrike was ready to get back to fight and search for his brother, but before he could join the war again, Cybertron had to evacuated. When they had to evacuate Cybertron, he left with Air Raid and the rest of the Aerialbots and many more mechs in a transport shuttle. After many vorns of fighting the Decepticons, Air Raid was called to Cybertron as reinforcement, but the two weren't together at the time. When Blackstrike arrived from his mission, he received a message from a member of the Autobots' high command to go to a planet called Earth and assist the forces there.

Abilities:
Blackstrike is a mechanical genius, capable of doing improvements to almost anything and with almost anything he found. He has being called MecGyver by some of his friends that are on earth, although he doesn't know why. He's also really fast, capable of reaching a speed of Mach 2.5. His Scatter Blaster fires a wide spray of explosive buckshot, perfect for keeping away any ‘con that may get to close.

Weaknesses:
He has two major weaknesses. The first is his strength and hand to hand skills. If an enemy can get close enough to him, he is easy prey. The second being that, if one of his friends gets hurt by a 'con, he become more reckless, trying to protect his friend no matter what, even if that means putting his aft in danger.
