Once upon a time ago, I made a bastard and named him Phoenix.
Phoenix is a triple changer; a tank-helicopter, to be precise, and he's massive, thickly armored bastard. His alt-modes are loosely based off the Panzer VIII Maus and Mil Mi-26, so he stands tall, is broad and thick, and he - unfortunately - knows it too (derogatory).
In his original draft, he was/is a ruthless bandit chief on Cybertron who started off his pillaging career by abandoning the Autobot army and convincing the mecha under his command to overthrow the base they were stationed in. Most of them followed his lead, so they quickly gained control of the base and turned it into their hideout for the years to come. Those under Phoenix's leadership were only marginally safer than anyone outside of his gang because he has a low tolerance for failure and any sort of perceived betrayal/distrust.
Then, in another draft (which winded up putting Phoenix in the same universe as Dennis), he stayed with the Autobots as a high ranking officer under the command of Elita-1. Years of service on Cybertron under her leadership has lead to Phoenix being notably more loyal to her than the likes of anyone else above her rank, including Optimus Prime, but he's not so bullheaded that he'll outright ignore the commands of his other leaders. He just gives Elita the side-eye like "Do I really have to listen to this? Fine. Okay."
