The smart and sassy pilot of the Chromia 10 heads up one of the numerous Maximal Squadrons assigned to prevent any rogue Predacon factions from operating outside the terms of the Pax Cybertronia. Airazor and her team are often delegated recon missions deep within Predacon space where many Maximals dare not venture. Her fellow pilots are inspired by her willingness to put herself in harm's way if it means protecting the peace the Maximals hold so dear. In vehicle mode she is able to observe her targets at a range of up to 30,000 feet and recreate any enemy intel she comes across with 3-D virtual reality maps.

Antagony is somewhat of an enigma. Soon after her mysterious arrival on the Beast Wars planet, she displayed the uncanny ability to accurately predict significant events. She explains away her clairvoyance as more intuition, but the other Predacons feel it is something more than that - almost as if she's from a time yet to be. Her prowess in battle is further enhanced by the ability to project limited-duration hard light holograms that serve to confuse her opponents. Antagony's primary weapon fires bolts of corrosive acid which instantly begins to dissolve Maximal armor upon impact.

As a result, he gave himself a new design pattern with his own special modifications. Everything he does has to be with style, from talking to simply transforming. While Optimus Prime finds this behavior strange, he allows Jazz some latitude from standard Autobot military practice as long as he remains loyal to him.

Before he was recruited by Prime, Blurr was an eloquent and well-groomed lecturer. Though his demeanor hasn't changed, Blurr looks more like a battle hardened warrior rather than the soft spoken robot he is. Yet, Prime uses Blurr as an information hub first, and a soldier second. Constantly on the move, Blurr is well equipped to intercept messages from enemy couriers such as his heroic renegade cousin, Crasher. Though no longer on the lecture circuit, Blurr now finds himself trading information and unreleased protoform images with other archivists, desperate to get an upper hand on his opponents. He often seeks to add any vital information to his data banks in order to provide eloquent strategic infiltration plans to his Autobot comrades. In vehicle mode, he can travel faster than most Decepticons, speeding past them to the point where their microcircuits fuse together, leaving them helpless. Once disabled, Blurr meticulously disassembles their processors, slowly explaining the entire process in excruciating detail to each victim.

CatSCAN is in many ways like a lost child in the wilderness -- he knows to some degree where he came from, but is unsure as to where he will eventually end up. Brought to life by a bizarre combination of Apelinq and his digitization powers and the artificial intelligence of a medical diagnostic computer, this curious creature has found a permanent home with the Wreckers team. Armed with two battle blades of ancient Cybertronian design and a tail-mounted plasma torch, CatSCAN could easily be considered a lethal one-robot army. This fact notwithstanding, his fearsome appearance belies an inherently gentle and nonviolent personality -- it is simply not in his programming to cause harm to other beings. Lacking a Spark of his own, CatSCAN has a deep wish to understand the true nature of his self-awareness. He looks up to Apelinq as a mentor and "creator figure" and often acts as a voice of conscience among his teammates.

For millions of years, Chromia served as one of the crack troops of the Autobot underground on Cybertron. While tough and determined, Chromia retains a wry sense of humor. She believes that words are fairly meaningless without action to back them up. It is a philosophy she employs in and out of combat. Her blunt honesty sometimes puts off other Autobots, but those who truly understand her know that this is her way of honoring the Autobot ideal of truth. Chromia is extremely protective of Flareup, whom she has agreed to watch after, out of respect for her comrade Firestar.

Like many of his Predacon brethren, "Dinobot" is a proud warrior. He feels a sense of entitlement borne of being descended from the powerful Decepticon Empire. During his studies of military history, Dinobot decided that the fall of the Decepticons largely stemmed from dishonorable infighting and power struggles within the Decepticon army. He resolved to live his life in an honorable fashion both in and out of battle. He believes such discipline is the key to ultimate power and victory. In robot mode, Dinobot is one of the most skilled hand-to-hand combatants among the Predacons. His study of numerous ancient martial arts has allowed him to develop a unique fighting style of his own that conforms to his present body-form. He specializes in channeling energy through his large shovel arm, heating the blades at the edge ip to temperatures of 4,000 degrees Celcius, allowing him to slice through enemy armor with ease. His desire to join Megatron was fueled by what he perceived as cowardice and sloth by the Tripredacus Council in their lack of overt offensive action against the Maximal Imperium.

Divebomb was a daydreamer who would often come up with brilliant theories as he stared happily at the sky.

He understands his importance in the Decepticon / Autobot conflict and never wants his personal sorrow to affect anyone else.

Cunning and cynical, Double Punch is an expert in assassination and execution who has acquired numerous killing techniques. Whether robot, beast or human, all beings considered by others as important become his prey. Using a stealth mode that turns his body invisible, he silently approaches his targets and swiftly liquidates them, but by nature he prefers making a blood sacrifice of his enemy openly and in broad daylight. From his tail he injects a deadly net poison that destroys his enemy's nervous system, while from one arm he launches twin energy signature-seeking missiles. The spy drone Beeline that he launches from his other arm he uses by remote control to attack targets 100 km ahead, to search for enemies, or even to transport data-cubes, though he often also employs it to record the scenes of his own assassinations. Usually he aligns with both sides in an argument in order to advance his own position in the Destron ranks.

While Megatron pushes him to be a warrior, Fractyl is more concerned with solving the problems caused by the strange planet's surplus of Energon. The other Predacons either ignore him or ridicule his apparent fascination with the energy source, despite the fact that his work could provide them with the means for ultimate victory over the Maximals. While his research has only temporary success, he is confident that he will eventually resolve their recurring overload problems, thereby earning the others' respect.

In time, he worked his way up the ranks of the Autobots and when the Autobot Seeker Drench was destroyed, Bumblebee was offered an upgraded form and a new identity as Goldbug, to take his place. Although he holds a high position in the Autobot hierarchy, he is paranoid that someone will one day try to betray him and take his place as he has done to so many others in the past.

Grimlock is a tragic figure. He was originally developed by the Decepticons as a soldier whose sentience would be based on artificial intelligence rather than a Ember.

Offered a chance to revel in his violent tendencies, Grimlock eagerly joined Optimus Prime and serves as his most potent warrior. Grimlock will not stop tearing through the enemy ranks until they are all destroyed or he can no longer move. He simply cannot feel mercy and has little self control.
