#blitzblast

Carmine (he/him): the leader of the unit.

• Mid to large seeker. Prone to following his gut instinct under stress, starts out as a very flighty character but with experience Carmine mellows out.

• Solid 7.3/10 on the decepticon loyalty scale, with an idealistic but not fanatic view of the decepticon cause. Develops possible primus apotheosis (paradoxical/decepticon presentation), with him even getting put on the List for it towards the end of / after the war.

• Due to the relatively late addition and *gestures vaguely towards the events of MTMTE*, Carmine's name never ends up getting crossed off, and he becomes one of the few mecha to survive the DJD by sheer luck.

Helicoblade (she/her)

• Small to mid heli. Has a passion for flying and topography. Massive introvert with a habit of accidentally sneaking up on mecha in root mode.

• After the war she's one of the disillusioned decepticons who keeps the badge but ends up seeking a more benevolent career path related to her passion.

• divebomb divebomb divebomb div

Blitzblast (she/he/they)

• Small to mid gunformer. Excitable and chatty, with a heavy preference for her altmode over her root mode. A tad touch starved but has a hard time for a while asking to be held outside of his gun mode.

• One of those decepticons who ends up doubling down on the Cause after Megatron's defection and they immediately jump on the "Well obviously Megatron wasn't a real decepticon—" bandwagon post war.

• Spends a few decades primarily/solely in altmode as someone's #1 blaster (garbage relationship that Blitzblast still finds herself missing late at night)

• He ends up working at a gun range as both the gun and the training instructor

Thunderpath (he/him)

• Mid sized tankformer, gets reformatted into [unknown treaded vehicle] post war. Serious no-nonsense type, there are so many leader vs SIC arguments between Thunderpath and Carmine about the mission(s)

• He sticks around with the main decepticon faction longer than most after the war, but eventually ends up removing his badges and living as an ex-decepticon on Cybertron

15: answering this one for Belladonna and Sunburst respectively bc I've been having Ideas there but vv

Bella has fallen in love before Sunny, but her last serious relationship ended due to both parties ultimately wanting different things out of dating

Sunburst has fallen in love several times, but this is the first time she's followed through with those feelings :3

17: options vvv

Venture strikes me as a bug owner, I can see them keeping colonies of robot isopods and the alien equivalent of those massive tarantulas that are spoiled all to hell

Based on one of my ex-psychiatrists but it would be so so sweet if Paintsplash had one of those teeny therapy turbofoxes they brought into the office sometimes🥺

Quasar used to have a glitchmouse named Pinky that he might have stolen from the academy's research lab after he graduated; one of those glitchmice that're trained to press buttons for rewards

20: vvv

Fiasco enjoys audiobooks but he has the worst taste in novels (something he bonds over with Sunburst)

Astroblast is a massive people watcher, even when there isn't a crew on board or tourists they'll often tap into cybertronian social media or news sites (sometimes other alien sites too)

Kadatchi is just plain FASCINATED by organic life of all shapes and sizes

Paintsplash, as their name indicates, is quite fond of physically painting (especially watercolors)
