Grimlock

Profile: Grimlock knew Bludgeon's words on Klo were meaningless. Exile? WIth Megatron and the other Decepticon leaders rusting in junk heaps across the galaxy, the Decepticons would never fade quietly into the night. Exile was merely an excuse for consolidation of power. No matter where Bludgeon went, chaos and death would follow, and so Grimlock would as well.

Taking the Dinobots and a group of trusted Autobot volunteers with him, he left Cybertron over Optimus Prime's objections, knowing all the while that if Prime really wanted to stop him, he could. His refitted decepticon cruiser, Graviton, left Cybertron with a full crew and armories bursting at the seams with the most powerful armaments he could muster. More than a match for any of Bludgeon's ships, Graviton would become the most feared profile in Decepticons' targeting database.

Over the years, Grimlock spent the lives of his troops whittling down Bludgeon's army- stopping them wherever they went, keeping them on the run, punishing them everytime they paused to rest. Grimlock made it his personal goal to track down and smash every last Decepticon. He and his crew swore an oath that they would never return to Cybertron until the Decepticons never again set foot on a planet's surface.

Years went by without a word from home, until the day a transwarp communications drone tracked the Graviton into orbit around Vaine. Optimus Prime was ordering Grimlock to return- not to Cybertron, but to Earth. A signal had been intercepted by one of the Sol system listening posts - a signal that carried a dreaded, familiar voice. It seemed Megatron was alive, and summoning warriors back to his side. Leaving Ultra Magnus in charge, Grimlock took one of the shuttles and left without hesitation to rejoin the Autobots on Earth. If there was to be a reprise of the old, familiar story, Grimlock would see to it that he was the one to write the final chapter.

Abilities: Grimlock's upgraded Guardian blaster fires a focused, ionized quark plasma burst. This burst is formed by energy harvested from pocket universes formed in a dimensionally folded magnetic cage. The universes are destroyed forming the blast, giving each shot functionally limitless energy, though the dimensional transfer is not one hundred percent efficient.

Weaknesses: Aside from his poor attitude in the face of authority and his slow speed, he's pretty much the toughest and strongest there is. His Guardian blaster takes nearly three seconds to recharge between shots.
