Next up on the lineup of original Transformers characters, Corrosion! He goes by many other titles, such as "Corroso", "Gross Guy", "Get The Hell Away From Me", and "Aughhh No It Burns Stop No".

Accompanied by a melted faceplate, a smoker's laugh/cough, and various singe marks across his plating, Corrosion is in possession of a special outlier ability that allows him to expel a type of sulfuric acid in gas form - strong enough to melt through any kind of living metal but his own. Despite his combatative prowess, Corrosion prefers infiltrative missisons compared to combatative ones - being a Decepticon special operative and radio telecommunications officer.

Corrosion has a prescence, and he knows it. He's gangly and looms over other bots. His face is twisted and contorted like a bad Halloween decoration. He seems to find some sense of smug satisfaction in scaring his peers - in an almost playful way, if it wasn't so freaky. He's not one for deadly efficiency. When it comes to enemies and missions, he's often creeping around, setting up rude remarks, pranks, and traps. He finds a bravado in trash-talking a certain rival Autobot operative of his, and will often prioritize a good show over a successful mission.

Just be careful and don't get burned.

Sometimes, strange ideas fester in your head.

Another character in the world of Transformers: Nexus, Vantage!

Vantage is an Autobot special agent/operative, specializing in spy work, diplomatic efforts, and being a robot who has a posh little mustache. Vantage is cool, calm, collected, and is the epitome of class and style - and he knows it. He speaks with a clipped and proper British accent and no one knows how he got it. All of the Autobots landed in the same part of North America at the same time. Why is he British

Based off of characters such as James Bond, Vantage's name comes from one of the cars James Bond drives - the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Series II. He doesn't turn into one of those, though. He turns into a 1940 Cadillac Limo. Way to dissapoint.

Vantage is mostly loyal to the Autobot cause and his higher-up, Asteria Prime. However, as a special operative, he's had access to information long before anyone else back at base gets it - and sometimes, there are things that no one should know about: for both the Autobots and the Decepticons.

He has an on-again, off-again relationship and rivalry with Decepticon special operative Corrosion. It's kind of weird. It's actually really weird. They occasionally work together on matters they deem far too important to be handled by Autobot or Decepticon factions.

...But they mostly get real snippy at each other. In a loving way. I think?

Mantis and Corrosion already have something in common - their criticism of the Decepticon faction but their unwillingness to move straight to the Autobots. They'd be fast friends, if not for both of their lack of social courtesy and their tendency to be overtly rude to new people.

They eventually forge a strong friendship, though. Even though most of it is built on gossip and plotting. They meet for a 'Decepticon/Ex-Decepticon Martini Hot Gossip Hour' every week. They don't know what a martini is and stole the word from television
