Profile: Gunrunner was once in command of a strike force that had penetrated Decepticon front lines and was discovered. He and his team, all close friends, came under withering gunfire. Gunrunner tried to keep everyone calm, swearing that he would see to it that all of them made it back in one piece. Gunrunner was the only flier in the group, and it was the extra mobility of his vehicle mode that narrowly saved him from destruction. His friends were not so lucky. When Gunrunner limped back to the Autobot forward command station as the only survivor of his team, he returned a bitter and changed 'bot. He retains his title of squadron commander, but refuses to take command over any team on a permanent basis, afraid of making friends. He no longer tries to reassure his temporary troops that everything will work out in a battle; saying that made him a liar once, and he won't let that happen again.

Abilities: Subject transforms into a jet with a maximum speed of Mach 5; the jet is armed with dual electro-static cannons, accurate up to a range of thirty miles. In robot mode, Subject carries a plasma machine gun and can also launch a pair of armor-piercing missiles that carry an explosive plasma charge and have a range of two miles.

Weaknesses: Subject's reluctance to fight lowers his effectiveness and can even endanger his troops.
