The Complete Transformers Movie Character Guide

Transformers (2007)

Barricade – Decepticon

Description: Barricade is the hunter/scout of the Decepticons, transforming into a Saleen S281E police car to easily hide among the humans as a symbol of authority. He wields spinning spikes known as blade wheels in his hands and uses them as close-combat striking weapons. He hates all Autobots but considers Bumblebee his rival.

Blackout – Decepticon

Description: Blackout is fiercely loyal to Decepticon leader Megatron and transforms into a Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low IV helicopter. He is the largest of the Decepticons serving as transportation for his comrades and most often carries Scorponok on his back. In addition to the ability to generate EMP blasts, he is armed with a missile launcher, 2 arm-mounted Gatling cannons and 2 energy cannons. In close-quarter combat he can also detach and wield his tail rotor blades as a weapon.

Bonecrusher – Decepticon

Description: Bonecrusher hates and despises everything – Autobots, Decepticons, even himself. He follows Megatron not out of respect but of fear.  He transforms into a Force Protection built Buffalo armored vehicle (MRAP). With wheels for feet, he “skates” instead runs and besides the machine guns in each arm, he touts an intimidating claw-like scoop at the end of a large telescopic arm which he can use to pull enemies closer with deadly force.

Brawl – Decepticon

Description: Brawl is often described as “a very pissed off Decepticon” who is always looking for a fight – especially with an Autobot. He transforms into a M1 Abrams tank with a secondary dual turret. His heavy armor allows him to take large amounts of damage but he can dish it out even more with the largest arsenal of any other Transformer – 8 missile launchers (4 on each shoulder), a quad-mounted 37mm cannon on his right forearm and a small dual ripper blade combined with a Gatling gun on his left forearm.

Bumblebee – Autobot

Description: Bumblebee is an Autobot scout and one of Optimus Prime’s most trusted lieutenants. What he lacks in strength, he makes up for with determination, bravery and loyalty – gladly giving his life if necessary to protect others and stop the Decepticons. When not transformed as a Chevrolet Camaro he enters battle with a plasma cannon on his right arm. He lost the ability to speak when his voice processor was damaged during a fight with Megatron, though he still communicates with Sam Witwicky – who he has sworn to protect – using various Earth radio frequencies.

Frenzy – Decepticon

Description: Frenzy, with his light weight small frame, is perfectly built for espionage. With only a small automatic weapon on each hand and CD-like shurikens that fire from his chest, Frenzy isn’t built for head-to-head combat. However, his lightening quick reflexes and ability to transform into a multitude of everyday items including a GPX boom box, a car radio and a cell phone enable him to blend in easily.

Ironhide – Autobot

Description: Ironhide serves many roles for the Autobots, not the least of which is weapons specialist. He is also Optimus Prime’s oldest friend, though they don’t always see eye to eye – often times pushing the Autobot code to achieve faster results. Ironhide’s vehicle mode is a GMC Topkick and his weapons arsenal consists of machine guns, plasma cannons and a devastating Gatling missile launcher, ensuring he is always the first into battle with the Decepticons.

Jazz – Autobot

Description: Jazz is the smallest Autobot and serves as Optimus Prime’s First Lieutenant. Generally good natured and not taking himself as serious as Optimus Prime or Ironhide, Jazz likes to talk…A LOT and usually gets some friendly ribbing for it. Despite his small stature Jazz can handle himself in battle with just about any foe though he usually sticks to opponents more his size. He is armed with a powerful Crescent Cannon and his vehicle form is a Pontiac Solstice.

Megatron – Decepticon

Description: Megatron is the cold and heartless leader of the Decepticons. As a civil war over control of their planet with the Autobots exhausted the resources of their planet Cybertron, Megatron went and searched for the All Spark. His search lead him to Earth where he crashed in the Arctic for over 10,000 years. Megatron doesn’t take an earthly form in his alternate mode but transformer into a Cybertonian jet and tank. He is armed with a powerful fusion cannon and can match Optimus Prime blow for blow though he will retreat when facing certain defeat.

Optimus Prime – Autobot

He order the All Spark jettisoned into space and feels responsible for bringing the Decepticons to Earth. He has sworn an oath to protect the humans on Earth from the evil and destructive Decepticons. His alternate mode is a powerful Peterbilt 379 long-nose truck and he goes into battle with an Ion Blaster, Barrage Cannons and two massive energon blades that replace his hands.

Ratchet – Autobot

Description: Ratchet serves as the Autobots’ medical officer and transforms into a yellow emergency AM General Hummer H2. Even though he heals by design and dislikes violence, Ratchet is no passevist and will quickly jump into any fray with the Decepticons, fighting side-by-side with his best friend Ironhide.  He can convert his surgical tools into weapons and sports a nifty and deadly buzzsaw on one arm.

Scorponok – Decepticon

Description: Scorponok is Blackout’s deadly right-hand assistant and has what appears to be a symbiotic-type relationship with him. Taking the shape of a scropion, Scorponok can burrow through the ground with blinding speed which makes him great at ambushing his opponents – dispatching them with ease. Besides his deadly tail, Scorponok is armed with 6 six ion cannons – 3 each hidden behind his pincer like claws.

Starscream – Decepticon

Description: Starscream is Megatron’s second in command – though if given the opportunity he would betray Megatron for a chance to lead the Decepticons. He rules the air as a F-22 Raptor but prefers subtlety and deception to out-and-out brute force. He prefers picking on opponents smaller than himself and fights them with a missile launcher and machine guns.

All Spark Bots
