Alternate Galvatron cast

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Galvatron is a focal point of power and madness given form. He is blind to all but his lust for power; his whims and desires can be sacrificed in a moment's rage. Not even his own subordinates are safe. Though he is not beyond the capacity for long-term goals, it is his unpredictability and his casual disregard for any and all life that strike such horror in friend and foe alike. Truly, the Decepticon leader is without any sense of empathy.

Galvatron was (usually) once Megatron, but was reborn from his death throes in a Faustian pact with Unicron. He retains the memories and spark of Megatron, but his personality was significantly altered after the near-death experience, massive physical upgrade, and reprogramming

Cyclonus is, on the face of it, an extremely loyal and efficient air warrior in the Decepticon army. His chilling voice speaks of the destruction that they will rain down on their enemies. Unfortunately, beneath it all, Cyclonus is a bit of a coward and will turn and run with his tail between his legs if things get out of his control.

Scourge is Galvatron's implacable tracker and leader of his own cadré of huntsmen, the deadly Sweeps. He was created by Unicron from the remains of a dead Decepticon. Immensely powerful like all the Unicronian Decepticons, arrogance is his only true weakness. Despite being quite powerful in his own right, Scourge generally acts as a near subordinate to Cyclonus, and, despite his leadership of the Sweeps, is generally content to take orders from others. Scourge tends to grumble and complain a bit (a habit sometimes shared by his Sweeps).

The Sweeps, huntsmen of Scourge created by Unicron from the dead insecticons they are more or less elite drones.

Soundwave is the spy master of the Decepticons. One of Megatron's earliest followers, and, many believe, instrumental to his rise, he uses his tentacles and a veritable army of Minicon Deployers to learn everything there is to know about his allies and his enemies.

his Deployers are Frenzy, Rumble, Ravage, Ratbat, and his most trusted minion Laserbeak.

Six Shot is the younger brother of Shockwave. But where his brother is a Scientist, Six Shot is more of a shifty weasel who prefers to lie, connive, and back-stab rather than confront foes directly. Despite their differences, the two brothers appear to be loyal to each other. A mechanical engineer by trade, he is mainly out for himself, and enjoys causing chaos.

Barricade has got a bit of a mouth on him. Whether it's smashing through an Autobot roadblock or hunting down his latest quarry, he rarely lets an opportunity to taunt, criticize or demoralize someone go by. And no, not even his fellow Decepticons are safe... even Galvatron. One would think this would mean a short end to his career, but apparently not. The Decepticon leader has taken to tolerating his loud mouth, perhaps due to his sheer effectiveness as a soldier, but possibly also because his scolding of the other Decepticons sometimes works in Galvatron's favor.

Barricade's favorite tactic is taunting opponents until they start chasing him, and then leading them through hazardous areas that they don't have a chance of surviving, while he will escape without a scratch. As a hunter, he keeps his opponents off-guard and nervous by talking a lot, citing them with whatever "crimes" they've committed against the Decepticons.

The Battlechargers are a devilish duo of deadly Decepticon dragsters dedicated to destruction, demolition and deviance. Individually, they are Runabout and Runamuck.

Runabout is not the brains of the Battlechargers (they're both pretty much dim-bulbs), but he is much calmer and certainly more articulate than Runamuck, and his presence helps keep the latter's cross-wired mind on task. That said, Runabout usually joins in with whatever mad ideas Runamuck comes up with, just to keep from being bored. Runabout is very susceptible to boredom.

Despite his intelligence, data gathering skills, and potential charisma, Acid Storm prefers to wallow in anonymity as just the leader of the Rainmakers, a cadre of specialized Seekers who have the capability to manipulate localized weather patterns to create acid rain.

Acid storm hangs with his bud Sunstorm whenever he can, hes picked on by other bots sometimes because of the last part of his name, as to whether its Storm or Rain.

he personally cant decide himself.

Sunstorm is a clone of Starscream but in body and power only his body can go blazing if he gets pissed offed.

bright colors are nature's way of saying "Do not touch", then nature's got nothin' on SUNSTORM. Come too close, and circuits will short, steel housing will begin to mealt, and payches will break as the mind struggles to comprehend.

most of the time Sunny side up and crackin' a joke, Sunstorm hangs with Acid storm and Nova storm most of the time.

he is the leader of the Painmakers. Sometimes, Sunstorm merely believes he is secretly some kind of supernatural being, keeping most his comrades away with his odd behavior.

Nova storm dose not care for much, all he likes to is fire his missiles at autobots,He and Brawl would get along.

He sucks at being in command and would rather be told what to do, as long as it involves explosions.

member of the Rainmakers.

A master of electricity, Elctrostorm dark desires put this skill to use on his victims, victims. Nothing delights him more than to see how they squirm from his touch.

member of the Rainmakers.

Hydrostorm is as smart as he is dangerous,

He will always make the saving throw, blow or hit.

Despite His terrible reputation in these last days he has a soft spot for a sad backstory, while his is unkown it rumored to be very horrific.

member of the Rainmakers.

Bitstream is, you might say, one of the Decepticon L33T. He's a genius in his role as Information Engineer and brings to the table a skill set that can hack any target, nuke any system, and break any encryption you need broken. His greatest skill is also his biggest weakness, as he can lose himself in computer systems and virtual worlds to the point where he can't keep track of what is simulated computer space and what is reality. It doesn't make much difference to him, he's just as at home fragging Autobot jets or Autobot hard drives. He likes to take off one of his arm guns and hold it rifle style. Just how he rolls.

member of the Painmakers.

Hotlink is a "Mechatronic Engineer" by trade but a gadget geek at heart. You'll never find him without his tool kit, and he's always ready to tinker up a new device to fit the needs of the moment. It's an affinity that transcends even Autobot or Decepticon factions for him. He'll be just as quick to geek out over an awesome Autobot weapon as one from his own team. And just as quick to "improve" it for his own enjoyment. His favorite creation of his own is the pyropathic flamethrower. The kids love that one.

member of the Painmakers.

RED WING is a seeker, using powerful arm cannons and a devil-may-care attitude. Once he locks onto a target, no Autobot can escape his crosshairs he is also the newest member of the Painmakers.

Depth Charge a split-Spark twin of Skyquake, was the captain of an army of Seekers, and is an expert in explosives. Like Skyquake, Depth Charge is intensely loyal to Megatron, though his loyalty to his twin may be stronger. However, unlike his brother, Depth Charge is better at keeping his temper in check, most of the time.

In addition to his calculating tactics, cool-minded leadership, and fierce loyalty, Depth Charge has outwardly shown a sense of integrity not normally characterized by the Decepticon agenda. During situations of dwindling odds, Depth Charge considers all possibilities within battle, and is wary of the potential consequences of hasty decisions. He will even fight alongside the Autobots if surviving the situation calls for it. In order to secure a favorable outcome or the welfare of his sovereign lord, the dreaded seeker will save face, or indeed the sparks of a few Autobots, if it means a clean victory and living to battle another day...

Skyquake's loyalties are unlikely to be questioned anytime soon. A Decepticon guardian sent to protect Earth's energon stocks, he is completely loyal to Galvatron. He will not only obey every order, he will follow them until Galvatron says otherwise, regardless of the passage of time. He also possesses a rather short temper towards the disloyal, and is not beyond backhanding even a superior officer who gets in the way of Galvatron's will.

His split-Spark twin brother is the similarly honor-bound Depth Charge. The two are able to sense each other, even across the galaxy.

Sandstorm is one of the founding members of the Seekers. Cold and somber, Sandstorm hates those who claim to have "character" and perfect principles, and as such, he really loathes Autobots of all shapes and sizes.

When Starscream and the other standard Seekers just aren't enough, call in the Air Warriors. Sometimes they're explicitly drones and sometimes they're just quietly single-minded, depending on what they are made from. But they're always obedient, determined, and ruthless.

Wasp is a lot like Bumblebee... physically, at least. Built from the same chassis and sharing many of the same specifications and subroutines, the two Autobots attended boot camp together. Wasp's pompous, smarmy personality leaves something to be desired, but he had a lot going for him as a soldier, being highly skilled in the use of his stingers and knowing just how to toe the line with the drill sergeant. In a better life, he might have been Cybertron Elite Guard commander material.

Might have.

These days, though, Wasp is a broken bot, mentally unstable and on the run from the Autobots who have branded him a traitor. What little remains of his mind is focused on just one goal... destroying Bumblebee, the bot who ruined his life!
