Profile: Not all Decepticons are the greatest warriors. Not all of them are meant to be. Among the Seekers, the elite members of the Decepticon air military, Bitstream is an anomaly. Bitstream proved his mettle not through battle, but careful manipulation of information and application of wits. Bitstream is a self-professed technological genius, and has routinely demonstrated his superior technical skill by decrypting Autobot communications. He was among the first Decepticons to crack Autobot encryption codes, leading to a significant Decepticon victory in what is now called the "Tarn Valley Ambush". As a Seeker, he pays homage to his commander by modeling his form after Starscream, and while the Seeker Commander may acknowledge Bitstream's technical skills are handy, that is the extent of the two Seekers' interaction.

Abilities: Bitstream is one of the most capable engineers in the Seeker ranks, with only his colleague Hotlink able to match up. He is most often found decrypting Autobot signals, immersed in information either at a bridge console or the confines of a network terminus. When deployed on the field, he is most commonly found scavenging and repairing equipment for his comrades or attacking opportunistically, if at all. Bitstream is very fast, capable of reaching speeds of Mach 2, and excels at quickly infiltrating enemy computer systems and then beating a hasty retreat.

Weaknesses: Bitstream loves processing data, and becoming immersed in information networks. The time spent in cyberspace can sometimes affect Bitstream's core consciousness, leaving him uncertain which world is virtual, and which is real. More than once his comrades have had to extricate him from that virtual world and deal with more immediate threats. Bitstream is not a particularly effective combatant either, and his first response to an Autobot counterattack is to retreat.
