When the Headmasters were invented Grimlock categorically forbade any of his Dinobots from undergoing the process. He was not prepared to entrust weaklings such as humans with the power of the Dinobots. Also Grimlock is personally incapable of tolerating anyone else from having any form of control over his Dinobots. He and he alone commands them.

When the Targetmasters were invented however that was a different matter. Grimlock saw the Targetmasters as not commanding but a partnership. While he won't accept orders from anyone else or allow any others to give orders to his troops he has always been willing to cooperate with worthy allies. The prospect of increased firepower for his Dinobots naturally attracted his interest. He put up five new recruits for the process, giving them alt-modes bases on himself and his first four troopers to see how things worked out.

Savage uses Roundhead to saturate the battlefield with grenades to stun and disorient the Decepticons ahead of a Dinobot charge. Rather than stowing his gun when he transforms he has Roundhead charge in with him, directing him to kneecap Decepticons while he goes for the face. By the time these two maniacs have finished the unfortunate Decepticon is usually little better than metal filings.

Shade can't carry his Targetmaster partner when in his alt mode, for a gun he is too large and heavy and would seriously impair his flying characteristics. Instead Dinoblast scuttles about on the ground, keeping to cover while spotting targets for Shade's ground attacks. Shade uses him in his gun mode only when he lands to finish off the Decepticons he has disabled with air attacks. Being a ground gunner is an unusual role for a pterosaur Dinobot, normally they don't carry guns, only missiles and energon swords.

As a Targetmaster Skewer has an unusually powerful gun, which he then goes on to hardly ever use. Like Slag he conducts combat almost entirely in his alt-mode. Only when under specific orders from Grimlock does he go into battle without transforming. He uses his Targetmaster partner as a fighting assistant rather than as a gun, having him lurk at his heels and then bite the faces off Decepticons he has downed with his horns or flamethrower. Muzzlebreak is a vicious little bully, hiding behind the armored bulk of Skewer and only emerging to attack helpless opponents. He actually likes being fired at Decepticons but is too afraid of Skewer's temper to ever suggest it as a tactic. Instead he carries on an incessant low-level sycophancy to try and ingratiate himself with a boss who never wanted him. Skewer takes no notice of it, or him generally, regarding his expensive Targetmaster partner as being no better than a scraplet.

Stab really likes his Targetmaster partner, staying in his robot mode most of the time so he can use him. He has come to prefer the massive axe bayonet fitted to him over his alt-mode's Thagomizer. He stuns Decepticons over a wide area with a scatter blast then charges in, trying to lay out as many Decepticons as possible with wild swings.

Unlike Snarl he is not dependent on solar radiation to supplement his energy supply, instead he can choose to supercharge himself using electricity generated by his back plates. That this scrambles his own circuits he regards as a fair trade for the greatly increased strength and endurance it gives him. His Targetmaster Dinobot fellows regard him as a crazy 'juicer', an old Transformer term for the Cybertronian equivalent of a drug addict, one hooked on blasting all sorts of (often harmful) energies into himself for the thrill of it. Like Snarl's misuse of the added power from his solar panels this damages his internal systems so he needs much more maintenance than other Dinobots. That Grimlock makes no attempt to stop him from doing this is a source of despair and anger for conscientiousness Autobot medics and technicians such as Ratchet, First-Aid and Hoist.

Most Targetmaster's are based on the mind engrams of a human. In Silosaur's case though investigation by Autobot technicians has shown that he was patterned on the brain of a goat, a carbon-based lifeform kept by humans that is intellectually barely above a ball-bearing. Since Stomp isn't much better the two get on excellently. When not in combat they just stand around in their alt-modes, mindlessly chewing on coarse Earth vegetation while staring vacantly off into the middle-distance. This behavior often baffles other Dinobots, who think with their constant head-dipping and chewing they must be trying to eat their own legs. So far none of them has been interested enough in this moronic pair to find out what they are actually doing. While normally Grimlock doesn't encourage 'being clever' in most of his warriors he is a bit embarrassed by just how dim they are and makes sure that they never get to speak to any Autobots and reinforce their belief in Dinobot stupidity.

Rex Mason was a roustabout working for Stagg Enterprises, a mining and drilling corporation owned by Simon Stagg. He was working on their deepest drill yet, seeking rare materials deep in the Earth's crust that were wanted by Lexcorp. What Lex was after was the metamorphic substance that had created the supervillain Clayface. Lex is obsessed with superpowers, forever trying to obtain and understand them. Investigations of Clayface's pool by his people showed that they clay had gained its strange properties from substances percolating up from deeper in the Earth. So Lex was drilling down to find them, for which he had hired the world's best deep drilling company. Lex's calculations were correct and the drill bit broke into the source of the substance. The sudden release of pressure that had been forcing it up through the earth sent it shooting it up the drill shaft in a gusher. Rex was the closest worker and he was drenched with it as he struggled to seal the shaft. Shortly after this incident Rex fell dangerously ill and was rushed to hospital. Tests showed that his body was breaking down as though he had taken a massive dose of radiation, but rather than at the cellular level it was doing so at the atomic level. The atoms that made up hos body were coming apart, changing into different elements or a raw soup of subatomic particles. Normally when this happens the release of energy is a nuclear reaction or even an explosion, but Rex was just becoming a strange grey goopy substance. It proved impossible to contain him and the hysterical Rex flowed out through a plughole.

It took Rex some time but eventually he found that by force of will he could reform his body, pulling himself quite literally together. He stamped into the offices of Stagg Enterprises and demanded a cure and compensation for what had happened to him. Simon Stagg though was more interested in having his science division examine Rex to see how he worked. In this he was challenged by Lex Luthor who asserted that Rex Mason was his property, he had been doused in a substance that belonged to Lexcorp. The rest of the substance once pumped out had turned out to be just muddy salt water, whatever special properties it had had had all flowed into Rex somehow. Rex fled the increasingly acrimonious legal wrangle and went underground for some time. It was during this period that he joined the Outsiders, Batman's superteam of renegade superheroes. Batman encountered him lurking around in the Gotham storm drains and at first thought he was Clayface. When he realized that he was similar but even more powerful he offered him sanctuary at a Batcave where he sought to understand what had happened to Rex and to help him. Rex came to trust Batman, he seemed entirely focused on helping him rather than talking about the possibilities for commercial exploitation of his powers like Stagg and Luthor had.

Rex Mason has been the metamorphic superhero Metamorpho for a while now. He can regain his original form using his power to shapeshift into almost any form, but doing so requires concentration and is a strain for him after a while. His 'natural' state now is a roughly humanoid form made out of a grey, putty-like substance. He can alter his material composition into almost anything at will however, even changing what elements he is made from by rearranging his subatomic particles, something that should be impossible outside the heart of a star or a nuclear reaction. He can use this power to perform an amazing range of feats, though he deliberately avoids the many harmful or destructive things he could do, such as generating flames, radiation, toxins, sharp blades or other lethal things. He fights bad guys mostly by knocking them out with sedative liquids and gases, he doesn't even like hitting people. His body is now an undifferentiated mass, he has no internal organs unless he forms them in order to be able to perform human bodily functions. He isn't completely immune to the environment, extremes of temperatures and pressure and toxic environments stress his body and cause it to begin breaking down and shedding from him. He needs to eat quite a lot to replace the mass he tends to lose when transforming and performing chemical reactions. Outright killing him may not be possible however, he has shown the power to regenerate so long as there is even a microscopic speck of him left.

Rex has a conflicted relationship with Simon Stagg, he still often works for him and has an ongoing on-off romance with his daughter Sapphire which started even before he became Metamorpho. Stagg still desires the secret of Metamorpho's powers but has so far not managed to work out what it is that lets Rex do what he does. A major reason Rex keeps working for the greedy and unscrupulous Stagg is so Batman can keep an eye on his continued search for another deposit of the substance that altered Rex.

As a superhero Rex is rather a goofy character. He enjoys playing pranks on his teammates using his powers, imitating other superheroes to fool them or generating odd substances and smells around their superhero HQ's. Even more though he likes mocking supervillains. A particular joke of his is to shapeshift into a duplicate of any romantic partner they may have and turn back into his Metamorpho form mid-smooch. He once got the Joker that way with a good imitation of Harley Quinn, and the clown was more incandescent with rage over that than any time Batman had foiled one of his plots. The Joker cannot take a joke at his own expense, especially one that makes him look the fool.

As well as serving on the Outsiders Rex has also been on the Justice League a few times, he gets on well with most of the League's core members with his easygoing manner and is powerful enough to keep up with them. At times they have brought him in on special cases specifically to make use of his unique powers. After so many years of adventure and doing good with his powers Rex has long since ceased to want them removed and would now be horrified at the prospect of being a normal human again. The range of uses for his powers he has demonstrated down the years is huge but he mostly sticks to a few simple and trusted ones he knows really well.

Jennifer Lynn-Haden was the high school girlfriend of Kyle Rayner, just an ordinary girl in many ways. Not long after he became a Green Lantern Kyle heard that she was sick with cancer and took to visiting his old friend. The green energy channeled by a lantern ring can be used to heal and he sought to use its power to heal her. The way the healing works however is that the green energy replaces lost or damaged flesh and blood until your body naturally regenerates it. The ring's healing powers are designed for treating battlefield injuries rather than sicknesses. In any case Green Lanterns are not supposed under corp rules to use their rings as tools for the benefit of the populations they are protecting, they are weapons for planetary defense, they are not to be used to interfere with the natural development of a planet's civilization. You can get away with the odd one for personal reasons however.

As the cancer spread through he body Kyle poured more and more green energy into her, so that it gradually came to replace her existing flesh and blood. He couldn't just cut out the cancer without killing her it was so widespread and embedded in her body so instead he surrounded it with new flesh made of green energy that the cancer couldn't spread into. As the cancer metastasized through her lymphatic system though he eventually just replaced her entire body as he overdid it. Before he could reverse what he had done the green energy, obeying his implicit will, burned away her entire body as it reconstructed her out of green energy.

Kyle's intervention with forces he does not really comprehend has turned Jennifer into a human being made entirely out of green energy. This has saved her life, for which she will always be grateful to Kyle, but it has left her with a very peculiar appearance and nature. The one thing the green energy cannot do is disguise what it is, it is always green and glowing, so so is she. In every other way, even down to the microscopic level, she is a human being, just made out of green energy instead of regular atoms and molecules. At will she can use the green energy of which she is made like a green lantern does, forming shapes and exerting forces using it. The energy of which she is made comes from the source of all green lantern energy, the Starhearts, the green suns modified by the Guardians of the Universe to power the green lanterns power batteries.

Legally Jennifer is a regular US citizen. The Green Lantern Corps though regards her as a green energy construct and thus technically the property of the corps. As her creator Kyle is responsible for directing and monitoring her according to corps rules and regulations so he has trained her as a green lantern. Jennifer operates her green lantern energy with the mechanical principles of a Loony Tunes cartoon or sci-fi movie, all exaggerated bombs and chains and energy bolts as she doesn't have the detailed obsession with military hardware or sf design that Kyle and the other green lanterns have. While known to the corps she is not an actual corpsman herself and so can operate freely on Earth, being at most a deputy of the corps.

As a superhero Jennifer calls herself either Jade or Starheart. Early on she worked with Kyle and for a while they even dated again, though this didn't last with his chronic inability to make any sort of commitment. Not wanting to be a green lantern tag along she has joined up with a series of other superteams, serving on the Outsider's under Batman and then later Nightwing and even forming her own team, Infinity Inc which was made up of her and a bunch of other young new superheroes. When the existing Justice League was absent as its core members were all busy with other personal matters she was the green lantern on a new JL formed by Dick Grayson when he was being Batman. Jennifer is one of many women who are in love with Dick and she was on the team in yet another attempt by her to get close to him, which led to some unseemly behavior by superheroines as Kara and Donna were also trying the same thing.

Jennifer is a talented photographer and makes a living that way outside of being a superhero. She and Donna run a photography studio together, they became good friends over the shared disappointment of seeing Dick go back to Kory again. As superheroes with amazing powers they can get shots no one else can, though Jennifer has a perpetual struggle to stop all of her shots from being tinted green due to the green glow she perpetually emits. Jennifer has a particular project of taking shots of the superheroes as they go about saving the world in ways that shows them as human rather than epic heroes. Instead of depicting Superman with his chest stuck out and staring nobly off into the distance she has published shots of him hunched over a desk, face creased with worry, as he puzzles out how to combat the latest threat to the Earth. For all their powers she and her friends are just people, not gods, and she wants the public to understand that and not expect them to solve all their problems for them. Given her strange nature she is very conscious of how people react to and view superheroes since she can never pass as normal, she will always be made of glowing green energy.

Obsidian is the exiled prince of the Shadowlands, a kingdom in the Nightshade dimension. The Nightshade dimension is a magical shadow world of the Earth, a place of fantastic landscapes and creatures. It is strangely lit by a glowing silver sky across which sails a shadow sun, a dark star that emits darkness instead of light. During their 'day', which is their night, the light from their sky is dulled by their 'shadow sun' which is visible as a perfect black disk. Todd draws on the shadow sun for his own shadow powers, as do all members of the royal family of the Shadowlands, which is how their kingdom got its name.

The people of the Nightshade dimension are themselves shadows and on the Earth have only a negative existence. Todd Rice became Obsidian when his shadow person equivalent from the Nightshade dimension melded with him to escape the Nightshade dimension. Like all royal families the rulers of the Shadowlands fight viciously among themselves to gain and retain the throne from rivals within the family. Prince Obsidian saw many of his immediate family assassinated or executed and sought to escape himself. He has absolutely no desire to rule anybody and is more interested in having a normal life on Earth. There are those back in the Shadowlands though who want him back, to definitely remove a possible claimant to the throne or to use him as a pawn in their kingmaker games.

As Todd Rice he has always been aware of a strange link to another world, he used to dream of the Shadowlands all through his childhood. Obsidian is not the only exile or fugitive from the Nightshade dimension, there are others such as Nightshade herself, Eve Eden. When their shadow versions came to them it felt to them like being made whole again, like Peter Pan when he lost his shadow and had it sewn back on by Wendy. With his powers Todd has become a superhero, adventuring with a number of different superteams. His powers are strange to people from Earth, being based around darkness and shadows. If he needs to destroy though he can summon the terrifying blue fire, a fire that burns cold and is almost impossible to extinguish. For protection he can become a shadow himself, his powers are less physical and more based around space and redirection than those of Eve Eden.

Todd is a gay man, which is another reason he fled the Shadowlands as they do not have an enlightened attitude towards personal orientation. He prefers not to play up his status as a superhero to impress potential dates, he is a romantic and wants a relationship based on personal compatibility and commitment. He has met Eve Eden but only for the two of them to assess each others powers and exchange information on their backgrounds. They are wary of each other as both are royalty and come from the Nightshade dimension, associating could draw their enemies to them, and each cannot be sure of what connections they have back to the old country. His best friend on Earth is Jennifer Lynn-Haden, Jade, the Starheart. She is the light to his dark, though not personality wise as Todd is a warm and friendly man, though rather subdued and quiet as he is always wary and watchful for dangers that might pursue him from his old home. The two of them teamed up early on in their superhero careers and have often been on the same teams. Todd is less inclined to flashy superheroics than her though, he prefers to keep a low profile. Public awareness of him is low and often it is not noticed when he acts as he keeps to the shadows. Zatanna is also a good friend of his and at times he has even lived with her, being one of the few people allowed to freely come and go from her mansion Shadowcrest. His greatest supervillain enemy is Mordru, the Master of Darkness, an evil wizard who wants to use him to gain access to the power of the Nightshade dimension in order to plunge the Earth into a perpetual night and fill it with terrors.

The Autobots have an immense range of technical specialists, in contrast to the Decepticons who are almost uniformly dedicated warriors. The Decepticons do need a wide range of supporting technicians, it is just that they prefer to use slaves instead of free workers. Billions of enslaved Autobots labor for them under constant threat of being melted down for any failure or breakdown. In regions of Cybertron far from the Autobot front lines, in the Decepticon heartlands around the burned-out shells that were once the territories of the city-states of Vos and Tarn, most of their slaves are not even aware that the war is still going on and that there is any potential alternative to the tyranny of Decepticon rule. The Decepticons fear their slaves rising against them and devote a considerable portion of their resources to keeping them suppressed. The cruelty and wastefulness of the Decepticons in running an inefficient slave economy is why the Autobot resistance under Optimus Prime was able to grow from a handful of fortified city-states holding out under constant siege to reclaiming half the planet by the time Optimus and his warriors were lost on Earth.

Agent is not a warrior, she is a medical worker. Part of the reason the Decepticons conquered most of Cybertron so quickly was that most Autobots were not large armored warriors but small technical workers of light construction and limited intellect. In Earth terms it was like pitting civilian cars and trucks and light aircraft against battle tanks and jet fighters. Decepticon warriors could slaughter Autobot civilians almost at will, with many racking up personal kill counts in the thousands. Agent was almost completely rebuilt when she joined the Autobot Medical Corps, being enlarged and armored. The Autobots on Earth may mostly look like human civilian vehicles but they are actually heavily armored with powerful engine units. On Cybertron Agent combated Decepticon chemical and biomechanical warfare, cleansing Autobots of corrosive chemicals and destructive nanobots employed by the Decepticons. The scraplets infection for example is actually a Decepticon weapon that mutated and ran out of control.

Female Autobots are more likely than the males to be noncombatants. As yet though the number of female Autobots is still very small, less than 1% of the population as they only acquired the concept when they landed on Earth and encountered the humans. Alana is one of those Autobots whose job is not to fight in the war but to explore and understand the new world the Autobots find themselves on. Optimus Prime is very concerned to know everything there is to know about this bold new world as it looks like they will have to defeat the Decepticons here. Any scrap of knowledge could be vital in their battle to save themselves and their new human friends. Alana hates even the idea that her discoveries could contribute to the war effort, she prefers to pretend that there is no war and she is just here to do scientific work.

Alana is married to Seaspray, them being one of the first Autobot couples. She worries about him being on the front line of the fight against the Decepticons and copes with this by refusing all communications that are not transmitted by him. Receiving a message from any other Autobot fills her with dread that it could be a report of him having been killed. The nature of her work means that she is alone and cut off from other Autobots for extended periods as she probes the dark depths of Earth's oceans where radio waves cannot penetrate.

Apache is part of the Autobot all-arms combat commando team the 'Red Devils'. They are a diverse set of land and air Autobot warriors who have finely honed their tactics to work in perfect coordination. Normally having a team made up of disparate Transformers just causes problems as they get separated and all try to fight in a different way. It takes a highly skilled leader, such as Onslaught of the Combaticons, to achieve the complex pattern of attacks needed to make it work. When it does though the effect is deadly as the enemy finds themselves under attack from multiple directions and methods and cannot defend against all of them.

While the Decepticons often fight in their alt-modes the Autobots do so much less. The many Autobot car Transformers are not suited to engaging in combat in vehicle mode as they have limited off-road capability and no firepower. They use their alt-modes to deploy but transform to robot mode to fight. In many ways they engage in combat a lot like human soldiers, dispersing and taking cover, even to the extent of digging in and erecting barricades. Most Decepticons despise the notion of grubbing in the dirt or laboring to pile up junk and make no attempt to hide even when in robot mode, standing up in full view to blast away. If they encounter heavy return fire from Autobots in protected positions they just take to the skies rather than stay and shoot it out. For all their fury in combat the Decepticons lack persistence, they are soon deterred if their opponents survive their initial assault. The trick is surviving that initial assault, often it is so sudden and overwhelming that coordinated Autobot resistance is shattered in the opening few minutes of the battle,

Axle constantly redeploys in combat, rushing from one spot to another to lend assistance to repel a Decepticon attack or exploit an opportunity to strike an exposed flank. He is exceptionally skilled at dodging Decepticon fire when in car mode, swerving through hails of strafing fire in sudden, tight turns that baffle Decepticon attempts to lead him. Other Autobots regard him as a mad daredevil.

B.U.G. (Biological Unit Guardian) was built to protect young humans. A group of young college students made their own robot out of salvaged parts left over from an Autobot-Decepticon battle in their town. While a crude improvisation it came to life and enacted what it could of its rather scrambled programming. Both the Autobots and the Decepticons became aware of this from their monitoring of Earth news when it went on the rampage and started shooting up the college technical labs. Both sides sent teams to investigate what the humans were up to, resulting in a battle over the robot and its creators. The Autobots wanted to shut down the Frankenstein's monster of a Transformer they had created and lecture them about their foolishness in meddling with matters they did not understand. The Decepticons were divided over whether to kill them for the insult to the Transformer race, or to kidnap them for their skills and set them to work in their assembly plants. In the end the matter was resolved when the robot the humans made killed itself when it was rejected by both the Autobots and the Decepticons and saw even its own creators run in fear from it.

B.U.G. now serves as the car of the young humans, keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't repeat their feat, and to watch out for any Decepticon attempts to kill them. The Transformers on Earth are very concerned to keep the most advanced elements of their technology out of the hands of the humans. The Autobots are worried that the humans, with their long history of fighting among themselves, will harm themselves with it. The Decepticons are afraid of the humans developing weapons that will be more effective against them than their current armaments. Human weapons are actually already close to what the Transformers can do in terms of range, accuracy and firepower, the Transformers main advantage is in their superior ability to deploy it in combat with their robotic bodies.
