Autobots

The Autobots (also known as Cybertrons in Japan) are the heroes in the Transformers toyline and related spin-off comics and cartoons. Their main leader is Optimus Prime, but other "Primes" have also commanded the Autobots such as Rodimus Prime. They are constantly at war with the Decepticons. In the U.S. cartoon line, the Autobots were the descendants of a line of robots created as consumer goods by the Quintessons; the Decepticons, are descended instead from robots designed as military hardware.

Other terms for the Autobots are Autorobot (in Italy), Autoboterna (in Sweden), Kibery (in Ukraine), and Robotrikim (in Israel).

Small, eager, and brave, Bumblebee acts as a messenger, scout, and spy. Due to his small size, he dares to go where others cannot and will not. He idolizes the bigger Autobots, especially Optimus Prime and Prowl, and strives to be accepted. He is the most energy efficient and has the best vision of all the Autobots. He can go underwater for reconnaissance and salvage missions. Although physically the weakest Autobot, his stealth more than compensates for this inadequacy. This battle-tested robot was the first autobot to forge an alliance with the humans. He is a very close ally to human Spike Witwicky, Often seen as an underdog and not the biggest bot he has more courage than any soldier from Cybertron. As the most trusted lieutenant of Optimus Prime, he will do whatever it takes to protect earth and its people. In, “The Return of Optimus Prime" Part 2, Bumblebee was rebuilt and renamed Goldbug.

In robot mode, carries a photon eliminator that shoots high voltage electricity. Range: 500 miles. Speed: 200 mph. Sole purpose is to protect all life. His only weakness is his compassion for other living creatures. As a Targetmaster, Hot Rod often goes off on his own adventure with Firebolt, his electrostatic discharger rifle, who led a quiet scholarly life as Nebulan's top atomic physics scientist until he became the thrill-seeking Hot Rod's partner, Firebolt is excited, but nervous, about the prospect. In, “Transformers Headmasters”, Hot Rod became Rodimus Prime again. After Cybertron was destroyed, Rodimus left with Kup and Blurr to find a new home for the Autobots, making Fortress Maximus the new supreme commander of the Autobots.

Kup sees himself as a seasoned campaigner with more knowledge and experience to share. Other Autobots aren't always receptive to his advice. As a Targetmaster, he is binary-bonded to Recoil, an old style musket laser and former all-world prismaball player. In, “Transformers: The Headmasters”, Kup and Blurr left with Rodimus Prime to find a new home for the Autobots after Cybertron was destroyed.

Uncomfortable in the mantle of leadership, but presents strong profile as a commander. Carries missile launchers capable of hitting a target 30 miles away. Resolute, fair, and courageous beyond reproach. Ever ready to sacrifice himself for the good of men and mission. Ultra Magnus was chosen to lead the Autobots by Optimus Prime.

Blurr Cybertronian Hover Car The Transformers: The Movie The Rebirth (Part 3) John Moschitta Jr. Alive
Blurr is the fastest Autobot on land. He is a close descendant to a thoroughbred Cybertronic race horse, and a superior messenger. He can quickly whisk information from one place to another. In robot mode, he carries an electro-laser that reverses the polarity of an enemy robot's microcircuts and leaves them motionless. Range: 10 miles. In vehicular mode, he can travel faster than the speed of sound, leaving a blurred image in his trail. As a Targetmaster, he is paired with Haywire, excitable Nebulan teenager whose impulsiveness makes him a chancy electro-laser cannon, at best. In, Transformers: The Headmasters”, Blurr and Kup left with Rodimus Prime to find a new home for the Autobot's after Cybertron was destroyed.
Arcee Cybertronian Convertible The Transformers: The Movie The Rebirth (Part 3) Susan Blu Alive
Arcee is the only female Autobot to appear on a regular basis, not one of the few female Autobots who only appeared in just three various episodes. She was created in an effort by the film's producers to expand the market audience to include girls as well as to appear less sexist. Some have criticized the character for being overly stereotypically female due mainly to her need to protect Daniel Witwicky and act as a surrogate mother, but she is still shown to be a tough female warrior (i.e.: The Dweller in the Depths). She eventually becomes a Headmaster with Daniel (in an Exo-suit) forming her head. Although she has been paired with Springer (for most of Season 3), Chromedome (2 episodes of the second half of Headmasters) and Brainstorm (most of the second half of Headmasters), she seems to be more attached to Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime (in the Movie and Dark Awakening and the first half of Headmasters).

Wheelie is the sole survivor from a party of intergalactic colonists who crash landed on Earth. He is a barbaric little savage who managed to stay alive by cunning, stealth, and fearlessness.

Is a staunch friend to the Dinobots and a reliable ally for Hot Rod and Kup.

Plans to possess all of Earth's resources. Incredibly powerful and intelligent. Fires particle beam fusion cannon. Can link up interdimensionally to a black hole and draw anti-matter from it for use as a weapon. Megatron has no known weakness. He is known as "Galvatron" after being injured in his fight with Optimus Prime after being re-created by Unicron. In later versions, Megatron and Galvatron appear as separate entities.
Soundwave Microcassette recorder More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1) The Return of Optimus Prime (Part 1) Frank Welker, Hal Rayle (in "Fight or Flee") Alive
Soundwave is Megatron's most loyal soldier. It is said Soundwave can hear an Autobot leak. Uses anything he hears for blackmail to advance his status. Opportunist. Despised by all other Decepticons. Sensors can detect even lowest energy radio transmissions. Able to read minds by monitoring electrical brain impulses. Acts as radio link for others. Locates and identifies Autobots, then informs Decepticons. Carries a concussion blaster gun. Often target of retaliation by his comrades.

Shockwave Laser Pistol More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1) The Transformers: The Movie, Early scripts for the movie say he was killed during Unicron's attack on Cybertron, but the scene didn't make the final cut. Corey Burton Unknown
Cold, brutal, scientific approach to war. Loyal to Megatron, he was left in charge of Cybertron when Megatron left. As laser gun, can emit lethal beams of energy from anywhere on the electromagnetic spectrum: gamma rays, x-rays, light, infrared rays, radio waves, etc. Flies in laser gun or robot mode. High fuel use, but can be powered by nuclear sources. Often confounded by initiative, emotional thinking.
Skywarp 1975 F-15 Eagle More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1) Turned into Cyclonus Cyclonus type space jet by Unicron in The Transformers: The Movie. Was seen in Starscream's coronation due to an animation error; most likely one of several scene mispaints by the cel colorists. Frank Welker Reformed as Cyclonus
Alongside Soundwave and Shockwave, Skywarp is one of Megatron's loyal and most favored troops. He is also the first Transformer to awaken on Earth, and he is the sneakiest of all Decepticons. Enjoys playing cruel pranks on fellow Decepticons and appearing out of nowhere to attack Autobots. Not too smart. Would be useless without Megatron's supervision. Top speed of 1500 mph. Can instantly teleport up to 2.5 miles. Carries heat-seeking missiles and variable-calibre machine guns.

Starscream is second in command of the Decepticons and seeks to replace Megatron as leader. Ruthless, cold-blooded, and treacherous. Considers himself the most sophisticated and handsome of Decepticons. Believes Decepticons should rely more on guile and speed rather than brute force to defeat Autobots. Fastest flyer of the group, can reach Mach 2.8 and an altitude of 52 miles. Shoots cluster bombs and null-rays which disrupts the flow of electricity. Very good at what he does, but sometimes overrates himself.
Thundercracker 1975 F-15 Eagle More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1) Turned into Scourge in The Transformers: The Movie. Was seen in Starscream's coronation due to an animation error; most likely one of several scene mispaints by the cel colorists. John Stephenson, Wally Burr (in "War Dawn") Reformed as Scourge. Later versions portray Thundercracker and Scourge as separate entities.
Thundercracker is contemptuous of anything that cannot fly. Not totally convinced of the Decepticons' cause, but they've persuaded him to continue battling the Autobots. Flies at speeds up to 1500 mph... produces controlled, deafening sonic booms – can be heard for 200 miles. Equipped with powerful drone rockets and incendiary guns. Doubts about his cause sometimes impedes his effectiveness. Known as "Scourge", after being injured and recreated with a new form during the battle of Autobot City. Later versions portray Thundercracker and Scourge as separate entities.
Reflector 1981 Kodak Camera More Than Meets the Eye (Part 1) The Transformers: The Movie Christopher Collins Unknown
A strange one, he is basically a 3-in-1 warrior-spy; 3 small Decepticons with a "hive-mind" and all talk at the same time.

Galvatron is a cold-hearted robotic supervillain. Revealed to be Megatron reformatted by Unicron because his body was badly damaged during his last fight with Optimus Prime at Autobot City. Determined to lead the Decepticons and destroy Cybertron since the Autobots took it back from the Decepticons, forcing them to abandon their Earth base and retreat to the planet Charr, which would result in disposing of Megatron's dream of reviving Cybertron. Possesses enough strength to pulverize an Autobot into scrap metal. Unconquerable. Arrogant and compassionless. Plots against his allies, thus weakening his position. In robot mode, he carries a fission laser cannon that emits chemically produced, direct-current electricity. In later media Galvatron was made into a separate entity.

He is almost never seen in his robot form as he would rather stay in his alternate mode.

Abominus The 5 Terrorcons Grimlock's New Brain The Rebirth (Part 2) Jim Gosa Alive
Even more so than the other Decepticon combiners, Abominus is a being of mindless fury. He's not truly a warrior—he's an animal, the destructive rages of the Terrorcons who compose him personified. His commanders can't give him orders simplistic enough for him to understand, so they just point him in the direction of objects that need to be smashed, and turn him loose. The only thing that distinguishes him from a wild beast is the enjoyment he derives from his terrible rampages. The Terrorcons who form him were working for the Quintessons as an offensive/defense team in one episode, but are now otherwise Decepticon agents, as they were taken by Galvatron.

Arcana Brainstorm's Head The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Jack Angel
For a man whose work has had such a big effect on the lives of so many Nebulans and Transformers, very few people really know the distant and remote Arcana. Not even Brainstorm, who shares his psyche, can claim to truly fathom the workings of his partner's mind. But then, Arcana seems to cultivate an extremely anti-social persona unintentionally, training first as a medical doctor, only to grow bored and focus on long-forgotten and repudiated scientific lore of his planet, earning the ire of medical colleagues. Yet it was this combination of knowledge and skill, along with the combined input of his future partner, that allowed the creation of the Binary Bonding process.
Stylor Chromedome's Head The Rebirth (Part 2) Milt Jamin
Stylor is gorgeous. Always impeccably dressed and groomed and always in the latest style. He spends most of his time primping and polishing either Chromedome or himself, and is renowned on Nebulos for his exquisite taste and dashing good looks. Though he loves the ladies, he surprisingly doesn't have the greatest luck there, since few want to spend much time with a man who's so focused on being prettier than they are. It is suspected that Stylor volunteered for the Headmaster process simply because it was trendy at the time, his Autobot partner Chromedome, being an inveterate academic and computer nerd, is something of a frustration to Stylor, but he does his best to bring out the big guy's cooler, more social side (which he figures MUST be in there somewhere). Chromedome in return tries to get Stylor to be a little less superficial.
Duros Hardhead's Head The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Charlie Adler
Duros was born to be a soldier on a world without war. He served for years as the head of security for the Nebulan Ruling Council and spent most of that time horribly bored and unsatisfied. The coming of the Transformers to Nebulos may have been a tragedy for most of his race, but it was quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to Duros... and also the worst, in Hardhead he has found a kindred spirit, and the two have bonded over their shared interest in combat and warfare to become one of the closest pairings among all the Headmasters. The dependable, resourceful, and stoic Duros is a great addition to the Autobot army, but his eager desire for action and love of combat have made him an outsider among the naturally peaceful Nebulans and has led him to be shunned even by his family and, most painfully, his now estranged wife. Duros shuts the pain that his failed personal life causes him away and focuses instead on being the soldier he always felt destined to be.
Gort Highbrow's Head The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Michael Bell
The all-American boy of the Nebulan Headmasters, Gort rose up from a lowly position as stable boy to courageous defender of his planet. The idealistic teenager never has an unkind word for anybody and serves as a shining example of the best the Nebulan Headmasters have to offer, it's a pity, then, that Gort was partnered with his polar opposite, the elitist snob Highbrow, who takes considerable offense to being binary bonded with what he sees as a mere commoner. Their pairing is among the worst of the Autobot Headmasters, often detracting, not adding, to Highbrow's effectiveness in combat as he refuses to listen to Gort's suggestions except in all but the most life-threatening situations.
Grax Skullcruncher's Head The Rebirth (Part 2) Milt Jamin
A ruthless businessman and industrialist, Grax was willing to do whatever it took to solidify his place at the top of Nebulan business world. Not that he needed much convincing to undergo the binary bonding process to combine with Skullcruncher to eliminate his business rivals, the Decepticon methods of utterly and cruelly absorbing all foes were just more literally bloody versions of Grax's own. Skullcruncher didn't see the similarity though, Nebulan corporate types were barely even a snack... Grax adds considerably to the somewhat slow mind of Skullcruncher, which admittedly isn't hard, but still finds most of his suggestions ignored unless they involve eating the corpses of your enemies or inventive noises to make when grinding your teeth.
Vorath Mindwipe's Head The Rebirth (Part 2) Charlie Adler
Vorath was the former Minister of Science of the planet Nebulos. A Zarak loyalist, Vorath was expelled from his office when Galen uncovered his involvement in illegal medical experiments on live subjects. Seeking revenge, Vorath gained the chance to do so and continue his experiments with the arrival of Transformers and the creation of the Headmasters, when he agreed to binary bond to Mindwipe.
Monzo Weirdwolf's Head The Rebirth (Part 2, 3) Neil Ross
On Nebulos, Monzo was a professional hyperwrestler before he became a nightclub owner. He is a brutal fellow who doesn't appreciate the fine art of tactics or strategy. He especially hates poetry, which puts him at odds with his Headmaster partner, Weirdwolf. However, they both find common ground in wanting to beat stuff up.
Spasma Apeface's Head/Monkey Head The Rebirth (Part 2) Tony St. James
The nervous and insecure Spasma was the son of a despised noble family on Nebulos, bullied and picked on his entire life while being crushed under the weight of a bankrupt family legacy. The arrival of the Transformers on his planet and the creation of the Headmasters gave him the prospect of power to escape his feeling of inadequacy, or so he thought... outwardly, Spasma had his wish fulfilled when he was binary bonded to Apeface, literally becoming the kind of bully who had previously tormented him. But all too frequently, the pressure of combat will wear away at Spasma, until Apeface is actions trigger a torturous flashback from the Nebulan's past, reducing him to a whimpering, crying wreck.
Krunk Snapdragon's Head/ Dragon Head The Rebirth (Part 2) Christopher Collins
Krunk is Zarak's nasty, brutish bodyguard. He takes orders from Zarak without question, no matter how illegal or rotten they are, as Snapdragon's Headmaster, he enhances the Decepticon's thuggish personality rather nicely. Two peas in a pod, really.
Daniel Witwicky Exosuit/Arcee's Head The Transformers: The Movie The Rebirth (Part 3) David Mendenhall
Daniel Witwicky is the human son of Spike and Carly Anderson-Witwicky. He is approximately 12 years of age in 2005, and was presumably born sometime between 1990 and 1993. He is the grandson of Sparkplug Witwicky. Daniel often gets into trouble, which requires either his father or the Autobots to save him. He is very good friends with the Autobots, particularly Wheelie, Grimlock, and Hot Rod, but the one he is closest to is Arcee, who views him as a surrogate son. Daniel is (sometimes) the Headmaster partner to Arcee.

Nebulan Targetmasters

The Nebulans who co-operate with the Targetmasters transform into the Transformers' weapons.

Name Alternate mode First & Last appearances Voiced by
Haywire electro-laser cannon The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Rob Paulsen
One of the younger Nebulans to binary bond to a Transformer, Haywire is very much of the "act first, think later"-impulsive-teenage mold. In that respect, the relationship between Haywire and his partner Blurr is one where they get on like a house on fire, but also a classic example of the lack of planning in the early stages of Targetmasters bonding for how effective a combat team they would make. Transforming into an electro-laser cannon, Haywire is just as hyperactive as his partner in combat, often more concerned with how often he fires than where he is aiming or how effective his shots are.
Pinpointer Pistol The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Frank Welker
Pinpointer is a Nebulan of few words. He is binary bonded to Crosshairs.
Firebolt electrostatic Discharge rifle The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Dick Gautier
Firebolt was once a quiet scholar on the pacifistic planet of Nebulos, where he was renowned as one of its top atomic physicists. Beneath his meek and reserved exterior, however, young Firebolt yearned for a life of action and excitement. His dreams of adventure might never have come true, if not for the intervention of the Decepticons. When the call went out for Nebulans who would be willing to take up arms in defense of their planet, Firebolt was amongst the first to volunteer. Undergoing the extensive and painful procedure known as Binary bonding, Firebolt was given a special suit of black and grey armour and granted the power to transform himself into a powerful double-barreled weapon called an "electrostatic discharge rifle", although eager for the chance to make a difference and have some fun, Firebolt soon found that his own exuberance paled in comparison to his Targetmaster partner: a young Autobot named Hot Rod. Firebolt's opinion of this situation is what could be described as "cautiously optimistic" – he is excited by all the action and adventure of being a Targetmaster, but he is also very nervous at some of the risks that Hot Rod insists on taking at times.
Recoil musket laser rifle The Rebirth (Part 1) The Rebirth (Part 3) Johnny Haymer
One of the older Nebulans to join the Autobots, Recoil was a former All-World Prismaball champion on his home planet, until age finally caught up with him. While helping to keep Nebulos safe is part of why he agreed to undergo binary bonding to become a Targetmaster, a large part was to prove to himself as much as to others that he still had what it takes. Transforming into a version of Kup's original old-style musket laser, Recoil has found a good match with the crusty Autobot, both seeking the respect they feel their age and experience deserves.
Peacemaker sonic blaster The Rebirth (Part 2,3) Steve Bulen
Peacemaker is an upbeat, almost contagiously positive Nebulan police officer. He keeps trying to cheer up his Autobot partner Pointblank to little result. Pointblank doesn't feel the Autobots should have involved the Nebulans in the war to begin with, and so disapproves of his partner and his advice on principle. Those who know him, though, say that Peacemaker has actually made progress in improving the dour Autobot's world view. Not a lot of progress, mind you... Thankfully Peacemaker knows how to be patient, loves a challenge, and is firm in his belief that optimism leads to success.
Spoilsport double cannon The Rebirth (Part 2,3) Danny Mann
Spoilsport has a rather appropriate moniker, given that he spoils the fun of his partner Sureshot by being an equally good marksman. In a contest between an intelligent gun and an intelligent gunner, the gun gets a majority vote. His partner resents his interference, and in his turn, the Nebulan resents Sureshot for his lack of appreciation. It cannot help that Sureshot is a jerk, of course, and presumably he never calls.
Nightstick beam gun The Rebirth (Part 2,3) Peter Cullen
Back on Nebulos, Nightstick was a master criminal. For some reason, he gave that up to undergo binary-bonding to Cyclonus. The loyal and honorable Decepticon warrior often finds himself at odds with the very dishonorable Nightstick and generally considers him an irritating pest.
Aimless beam gun The Rebirth (Part 2) Milt Jamin
Aimless should have been called "Useless". This Nebulan's success rate when he tries to hit a target is unknown, because that would require him to, you know, actually try. Together with his Targetmaster partner Misfire, he is a danger to himself and others. Mostly others.
Fracas Incendiary cannon The Rebirth (Part 2) Neil Ross
Fracas' new Targetmaster body allows him to transform into an incendiary cannon for his new Decepticon partner Scourge—fitting, since Fracas is himself a hot-running, volatile scrapper who explodes into violent rages.
Caliburst lange barrel gun The Rebirth (Part 2) Johnny Haymer
Like his binary bonded partner Slugslinger, Caliburst is merely putting on an act and playing the role of the cold and fearless Decepticon warrior he outwardly projects; it's just that he is generally more adept at keeping the mask up because of his former life as an actor. While not a good actor, more the kind to be found in the freezer section next to the other pork products, Caliburst does know the importance of staying in character. Given that he joined the Transformer conflict for the money because there was no one left on Nebulos that could stomach appreciate his "talent", he has an incentive to not screw up, Slugslinger treats his partner fairly well, mostly due to the direct link between the condition of the Decepticon's backbone infrastructure in combat and the condition of his weaponry.
Blowpipe Compression cannon The Rebirth (Part 2,3) John Moschitta, Jr.
The conniving brother-in-law of Lord Zarak, Blowpipe managed the political campaign that brought him and kept him in power. While a smooth political operator with endless connections, Blowpipe lacks the physical presence and style of a leader, causing him to resent his brother-in-law for taking all the glory when he did all the "real" work, treating combat like he would a political campaign, Blowpipe plots and plans things in advance, leaving nothing to chance, which puts him at odds with his binary bonded partner Triggerhappy, whose idea of combat tactics is to wave his gun around randomly as fast as he can and shoot really, really fast.

Massive, rotund, powerfully built and virtually brainless, Sharkticons are the perfect killing machines and thus the ideal enforcers to carry out the Quintessons' verdicts. The jaws and teeth of the Sharkticon are so powerful and strong that they can snap a six inch-thick titanium steel rod in 0.23 of a second. Their spiked tails can crush the heaviest armor plating. But the real reason for their invincibility lies in their overwhelming numbers. Like piranhas, Sharkticons attack their prey en masse and are totally oblivious to the casualties the target might inflict. They know how to do only one thing, and that is to destroy. They perform that function perfectly and they travel in packs. Fearless and oblivious, loyal only to the master who last fed him. Powerful tail fin allows them to travel at speeds over 150 knots. Carnivorous with a voracious appetite, they possess several rows of razor-sharp teeth that can tear through solid steel. In robot mode, they carry a maceration laser that shoots salt-based corrosive liquid. They also carry a barbed mace.

Seeker Acid Storm Cybertronian spacecraft Divide and conquer N/A
Acid Storm is something of an oddity among the Decepticons. He's more than happy to stay buried in the ranks, a largely anonymous soldier among a sea of very similar bots, rather than try and make a big name for himself.

NUL-A None The Ultimate Weapon Charlie Adler
NUL-A is a giant robot who leads a lonely existence running a junkyard.

When First Aid briefly suffered a crisis of faith about his contributions to the Protectobots, he left the Autobots and sought refuge in NUL-A's junkyard. NUL-A was happy to have the company, since not a lot of people hang around the dump.

Name Alternate mode First & Last appearances Voiced by
Scamper Cybertronic six-wheels car Five Faces of Darkness (Part 5) The Ultimate Weapon Dan Gilvezan
Scamper is part of the composite whole that is the Autobot city, Metroplex. Although autonomous in his own right, with an impulsive and sociable personality, Scamper is an extension of Metroplex, and commonly patrols the peripheries of the giant Autobot's city form in his sports car mode alongside Slammer.
Six-Gun Metroplex Tower (Did not transform in cartoon) Thief in the Night Maurice LaMarche
The name Six-Gun isn't just metaphoric; this Autobot soldier is literally a walking, talking mass of weaponry. Six-Gun is one of Metroplex's autonomous troops, and is composed of six of the city-bot's guns. Along with Scamper and Slammer, he helps patrol and defend Metroplex's interior and periphery. Like his partners, he is mentally linked to Metroplex, and shares a similar personality. Perhaps befitting a living artillery battery, Six-Gun tends to be a bit more blustery and belligerent than his teammates.
Slammer Nothing but only a Cybertronic tank in robot mode Thief in the Night The Ultimate Weapon Chris Latta
Slammer, a drone controlled by Metroplex, does not do much. He is usually seen in the form of Metroplex's left rear tower, and is rarely seen in tank form.

Only two universes acknowledge Brunt's separate existence, and even then just as a mindless drone.
Wipeout Cybertronic car Marvel comics No Voice
A lumbering, powerful Transformer like Trypticon has many important things to attend to (like destruction). When he needs some small task done, he calls on Wipeout to do it. Wipe-Out serves Trypticon with an astonishing level of toadying sycophancy, layering on so many compliments that he actually irritates the giant with them.

Mini-Cassettes

Cassette warriors (or "Mini-Cassettes", or simply "Cassettes"or “Mini-Cons” like in Transformers Robots in disguise) are tiny Transformers; they are no taller than the humans. Their alternate mode is that of a microcassette.

According to The Transformers' version, in the days of Megatron, Decepticons developed the art of espionage using cassette technology. Their first cassette, Laserbeak, could fly undetected into any Autobot stronghold, record information and then return to base. Then the Decepticons decided to increase their spying abilities with Ratbat. As a bat, Ratbat can hide in crevices that Laserbeak cannot reach, and is especially effective in tunnels, caves or in the darkness of space. Ratbat records from the Autobots' most carefully guarded secrets. The Autobots had no choice but to strike back with these Decepticon techniques of stealth, building their own force of cassette Transformers, with Blaster as their guardian. They constructed Ramhorn, the rhino, who can use animalistic force if cornered, and Steeljaw, the lion, who can crawl through the foliage of any alien world, to sneak up on Decepticons. They also bolstered their cassette force with Rewind and Eject, who can transform to robot mode and use more conventional fighting force techniques.

The alternate version of the Cassette warriors' origin is stated in the animated series. According to this version, they (or, at any rate, the beast-moded ones) were once created by the divine inventor Primacron.

Autobot Mini-Cassettes
Name Alternate mode First & Last appearances Voiced by Status
Eject Cassette tape The Transformers: The Movie Madman's Paradise N/A Alive
An Earthen sports fanatic... sports cliches clutter his conversation; a surprise attack is a "fast break," a victory is a "touchdown." Few Autobots understand what he says, but they like the enthusiasm with which he says it. Could be a play-by-play announcer, if given the chance. In cassette mode, can monitor and record local radio and TV, decode scrambled signals, tap telephones. In robot mode, uses electrical overload guns. Sometimes his internal tape snaps when he is excited.
Rewind Cassette tape The Transformers: The Movie Madman's Paradise Townsend Coleman Alive

Rumble is your basic street punk. Small but always acting tough. Quick temper and mean disposition. Follows Megatron's orders eagerly.

Can be blinded. Though his last appearance is Call of the Primitives, he appears as well in Beast Wars in a different form.
Frenzy Cassette tape Countdown to Extinction The Transformers: The Movie Frank Welker Alive
If Frenzy needed to breathe, war would be his oxygen. He knows no cause, only craves to spread fear and destruction. His efforts are appreciated by other Decepticons. His devotion to warfare makes him hard to deal with on a personal level. Can roll his drums to produce a high-pitch, grating sound of 200db. Disorients and disrupts electrical flow in opponents circuitry which makes them malfunction. Physically weak. His manic attack can be countered with cool logic.
Buzzsaw Condor/Cassette tape Atlantis, Arise! Auto Berserk Chris Latta (animal noises only) Alive

Can pinpoint and photograph a thumbtack from 20 miles away. Flies at 250 mph. Carries twin mortar cannons. Diamond-hard, micro-serrated beak can carve up almost any opponent.

Just as Megatron tells Soundwave not to let it make contact with the crystals, it picks one up, which causes it to explode.
Slugfest Stegosaurus/Cassette tape Call of the Primitives Frank Welker Alive
He is as slow and stupid as he looks. Plays back the messages he carries, thinks others are talking about him, goes into violent rages. End result is usually destruction of messages and nearby small towns that get in his way. In stegosaurus mode, plates on back, like teeth on a chainsaw, cut through almost any substance; carries two solar-powered vibro-cannons.
Overkill Ceratosaurus/Cassette tape Call of the Primitives Frank Welker Alive
Whether talking, terrifying, or attacking, he does everything to excess. So busy proving how tough he is by snapping cars in half between his jaws, that he forgets his mission. Can record data as a cassette, rip open the hull of a battleship as a dinosaur. Armed with two batteries of motion missiles—each reacts to any moving object bigger than a baseball and explodes on contact.
