Tigerstrike

Mega Predacon Function: Strategist

"My skill can not be surpassed!"

Tigerstrike commands the Predacons who land in Australia. His mental functions are very finely balanced and will often crash when under pressure or when his plans are called into question. He is an extremely good strategist but has yet to prove this to his fellow Predacons. In Tigersnake mode he is extremely lethal, paralysing his targets by inducing Status Lock through the injection of pure energon into their systems. In robot form he carries a long lance like weapon that can blast energy as well as be used as a 'fang', and a sword. His overconfidence, and fierce outbursts detract from his performance.

Drongo

Deluxe Predacon Function: Scout

"Everything comes to those who wait!"

Though he appears unintelligent and slow, Drongo is incredibly crafty and manipulative. He wants to be in command of the Predacons, and would be a better commander than Tigerstrike, but doesn't want his deception revealed and so sourly follows orders, for now. In dingo form he is the fastest of the Predacons. His olfactory, optical and acoustic sensors are also highly attuned in order to help his scouting duties. In robot mode he uses two (small sword things) in deadly hand to hand combat. The overwhelming diverseness of new smells and sounds on earth sometimes confuse and shut down his sensory processing.

Galarh

Deluxe Predacon Function: Communications

"I'm going to blast your tail, woohoo!"

Hearing of Megatron's plans Galarh offered his communications services for the thrill of some actual combat. He cares little of the Predacon's cause, enjoying the war that is his heritage but lacking on the boring Cybertron. He is not a very devoted warrior, treating it more like a sport. In galah mode he fly high into the sky to help communicating over large distances, and to spot approaching enemies. In robot mode he carries a standard laser cannon and a large shield which he often has to rely on for cover due to the light-hearted way he views battle. His lack of experience in real combat and his refusal to take it seriously are major weaknesses.

Spikes

Regular Predacon Function: Assault

"I don't like to fight, but I like to kill!"

Spikes spends most of his time exploring and resting. When called upon to battle though he does so with a surprising ruthlessness and power from the usually docile Predacon. His fellow warriors believe Spikes has multiple personalities and he relinquishes control to his warrior side during conflict situations. In echidna form he attacks his foes with his metal-cutting spikes, leaving sliced robots in his tracks. In both forms these protect him from direct assaults. The true state of his mental programming remains a question, and there is always a risk he may abandon a battle with disastrous results for himself and his fellows.

Wedge

Mega Predacon Function: Aerial Warfare

"Only the best will do!"

Altered from a Maximal protoform, Wedge was genetically engineered to be a perfect foot solider. Possibly the greatest Predacon warrior, Wedge has incredible speed, strength and intelligence as well as blind loyalty to the Predacon cause. He is remorseless and unstoppable in battle as he cuts a swathe through the Maximals ranks with his incredibly sharp swords. In wedge-tailed eagle mode, Wedge can reach speeds aproaching Mach One although this is draining on his systems. Wedge is weakened by his ego and overconfidence.

Bark

Deluxe Predacon Function: Survivalist

"When the going gets rough, you can only count on yourself."

Despite her rough and tough exterior, inside is a lonely girl. Bark's status pod fell so far away from the other Transformers that she was forced to travel a long way to find them. In the process she became a tough warrior and an expert survialist, but a loner and doesn't feel like she belongs with the Predacons or the Maximals. She has allied herself with the Predacons because they seem to understand the need to be ruthless at times to survive. Bark has acquired the excellent skills for existing in hostile environments and is totally self-sufficent.

Tigerstrike II

Ultra Predacon, Transmetal Function: Strategist

"All will fall before my unstopable power and skill!"

Tigerstrike was mutated by exposure to a quantum surge and a high density concentration of energon crytsals, in to huge unstoppable serpent. Finally having the power he always wished for, Tigerstrike has become insane. He is willing to destroy everything in order to prove his status as the most powerful Transformer ever. His serpent mode is massivly powerful. He can constrict robots to scrap within his coils and his bite can kill with an overload of electricy and energon. Tigerstrike is now totally immune to energon radiation. He converts to a towering multijointed robot.

Crocodilius

Mega Predacon, Transmetal Function: Swamp Assault

"To take me on is to invite death"

A fearsome, powerful killing machine, Crocodilius is the most dangerous new Predacon the Maximals face. He absolutely enjoys fighting and will tackle any foe believing that none could actually beat him. Egotistical, he is prone to boasting his prowess as he fights.

Hardshell

Regular Predacon, Transmetal II Function: Infantry

"At all costs, make sure you survive!"

Hardshell enters every battle afraid of death. Despite his strength and armour he is afraid of losing his spark. He is cautious to the point of being paranoid and he is an unlikely choice for a front line troop. However when in battle his fear turns into a reckless panic and he is dangerous to any friend or foe nearby. His small size belittles his incredible strength. His heavily armoured shell makes up for his slowness and lack of maneuvability in both robot and turtle modes. Sometimes his fear of battle leads to Hardshell simply hiding in his shell during battle.
