    Alright so this is for all the characters from all around the franchise who weren't created and never given names how about starting off with my profile pic who was a scrapped Duocon who later ended up as Flywheels/Skytread.

    Landwing is an autobot brawler who is known for barging into Decepticon territory and then wrecking the place with his separate alt modes. His greatest weakness is his overconfidence in his strength with him many times ending up getting his backburner scrapped by getting overpowered by decepticons and is known to have anger Issues.

    Here's another one based on concept art for Overlord.

    Livyatan is not the Ideal autobot. It singlehandedly destroys decepticon bases and leaves almost no survivors on top of that the ones who do survive he then puts mindcontrol engines to help it kill there brothers, it is ruthless and unmoral which sounds a lot more like a decepticon than it does an autobot.

    By the way I imagine he goes by it as an intimidation tactic so that decepticons know him more as a force than a person.

    I thought this would be a great design for a more G1-based Onyx Prime. There's a lot of really awesome concept designs from this era that'd make for cool characters.

    He doesn't have the Prime feel so maybe an original character with a name like Centatuer (amalgamation of Centaur and Statue) but I can see it if its like a pre-Prime Onyx.

    Always a step ahead of the game, you can always find Overboard scheming away in the corner of any room he's in. And due to being the Hydrotrons's tactician and battle planner, this isn't just welcomed; it's encouraged. A talkative bot, he mostly keeps to himself and goes on psychotic ramblings, but if engaged in a conversation, he can keep it up for HOURS. Most of it consists of either telling others what it's like to be in his situation or simply bragging about his latest plan.

    Alive or dead. Rusted or pristine. Diluted or pure. No matter a substance's properties, to Anchor, it can ALWAYS go in the scrap pile. It always grows exceedingly large, with him being the engineer of the Hydrotrons, and he needs it all to melt into weaponry and tools for his comrades. He's always a bit of the spiritual type, talking in a dramatic, almost poetic tone. When he gets scraps, he doesn't just throw them on the anvil and start hammering; he takes a good look at them and studies every little aspect about them. He feels that it's his duty to bring almost a sense of elegance to such a dirty job.

    ...And if you were to bring up the Hydrotrons, you would be in the wrong to not include their tyrranical leader, Bomb King. If there's anything he enjoys more than gunning down lone Autobots, it's watching a distant ship sink below the water in flames, often caused by his own explosions. Bomb King often helps his allies in arranging the weaponry, but otherwise just sits and gives out orders. Don't criticize him for it, though, since if he hears you talking badly of him you WILL not live to see another day.

    Those are some cool Ideas, there is actually already a group of 3 water based transformers allied to Tidalwave known as the sea minicon team and are composed of: Waterlog (Overboard), Storm Cloud but if since theres already a G1 Storm Cloud his name could be Seastorm (Anchor) and finally Oceanglide (Bomb King).

    This is the protoype Version of what ended up as the other duocon Battletrap.
    Oh Vancopter the bot so paranoid even Red Alert tells him "everything is ok" he thinks that at any moment his 2 components combiner ports will break down and he will be split in half for ever after that, he thinks that a tiny shot from a regular gun that barely even hit him will somehow go all the way through all his body parts and hit his spark, normally bots with such a sturdy build like him would be sent out in the front row protecting his comrades but no he would just coward in fear if a decepticon just shows its face. He is the only heavy build autobot who works in an office instead of a battlefield so people tend to hate him for his uselessness so now he thinks every wants to kill him and just stays in his office all day and night, the only person who can support his constant crying is his polar opposite in the personality spectrum Landwing who tries to get him to be a more battlefield ready soldier like autobots with similar builds to him.

    Aquasting is a very lazy Decepticon. He was assigned to be part of Scorponok's crew to follow Cerebros Maximus's team of Autobots to Nebulos but when the day came, he was sleeping in his house with no worries. So if he is known for sleeping... A LOT! Why would Scorponok want him in his team? Well Aquasting has the special ability that other Decepticons (because she was too lazy to name it himself) have called The "Death Sting" where in his alt mode he can sting someone so hard that in only a few hours they WILL die and it isn't like his victim's will be so usefull in their last few hours as they will be in constant pain for those last hours of their life, yet he doesn't really use it a lot because his first move while in a battle is falling a sleep and since he has some great endurence it isn't much of an issue for him On top of that when she has a gun and isn't using it as a huggable plushy while sleeping, he can be called Sharpshot because he makes Aimless look like a targetmaster that never misses but he falls a sleep after only one shot. He eventually did come to Nebulos with a team of backup Decepticons and slept through the entire journey, once he got there he slept while he was getting bonded to his headmaster partner Ampull (named after the name of the head of a Sting Ray) who looks like a mermaid and can control Aquasting's body while Aquasting is sleeping, however Ampull is nowhere near as good with a gun as Aquasting.

    Aquasting was the original name for the Beast Wars Fuzor that ended up being named Injector and the idea to make his headmaster partner a mermaid comes from the fact that in TFWiki it says that they wanted to make a mermaid headmaster warrior ohthough mermaid is crossed out for dugong/manatee for some reason so I decided to do a reference to that here, also Ampullae is female which is fitting for a mermaid.

    Gunfire is a very violent yet somewhat wise Decepticon. He likes to be noticible in the battlefield so that autobots shoot him instead of his fellow decepticons and its no issue for him to have a bunch of autobots blasting him from all angles because he has some of the best armor and even better brute strength one shot from his barrel and the autobot or sometimes multiple autobots won't even be recognisable yet all that said he knows he shouldn't mess with some of the autobots heaviest heaters like Grimlock, Jetfire or any of the Monsterbots (even though it would probably be a fair fight in all of those cases). After fights are over he captures the surviving autobots and then makes them play a little game of roullet the last bot standing gets to go back to base with no issues the rest however... get to die. After Galvatron decided to allie the Decepticons with the Quintessons he was one of the first to vote nay as that was the final straw after seeing how little Galvatron cared about his fellow decepticons and alongside Shockwave, Blitzwing, Reflector and the deluxe insecticons were exiled by there fellow decepticons. So alongside his fellow exiled decepticons made a new group of decepticons known as "The True Decepticons".

    Centatuer was a famous gladiator in the time of the primes who played for Onyx Prime back then the Idea of transformation was just getting developed and Centatuer also wanting to make a quick buck signed up for the project but they only did half of him which angered him because now his second pair of legs would spring out if he just grabbed a sword which sure sometimes helped him but it lost him more battles than it won. So he needed to leave the arena or he would surely be killed in battle which made him quicly fall to obscurity until he returned to murder those who gave him his damned alt mode, which made the primes banish him to another planet known as earth where upon crash landing on the planet the native aliens took away his sword and imprisoned him in a statue before he could harm anyone. To this day he is locked away inside the statue with his sword far away from his sword that was thrown off the planet and deep in space as the aliens believe its the only key to Centuer's freedom due to a previos incounter.

    A powerful cybertronian pharaoh named Pharaon who enslaved many other cybertronians until his slaves revaled against him and shuttled him to another planet known as Earth and once he got there the local life admired his presents however once he woke up he started attacking and enslaving them as well and commanded them to buid pyramids for him however not learning from his past mistakes the local life also revaled against him and imprisoned him inside a statue and wanting to finish the statue placed his sword in Pharaon's hand which freed him and once free he began a rampage that killed many until the local life managed to full him twice (technically 3 times) and imprisoned him again and this time forever.

    Spacelane is an autobot pretender who has trouble moving around in his shell and so needs a platform but he also has problems with exiting his shell and so was given a special gun so that he doesn't get stuck in his pretender shell however when he is finaly out, he is a terror in the sky thanks to him basically being Jetfire with a pretender shell however his personality is a bit different. He is normally very tired of getting into his pretender shell because all it gives him is a little bit of armor and so he is normally tired out of his mind wanting to just relax somewhere else outside of his pretender shell, yet for some reason he doesn't understand why his commanders tell him to get inside his shell for the next mission. The reason is apparently because he is the backup that arrives with the first wave and the reason he can't just attack with the first is because the shell feeds him extra energy which he then uses in battle quit effectively.

    Crashbash is one of the decepticons who has been mindcontrolled by Livyatan who tried to escape Livyatan's grasp via his headmaster form however that didn't help as Livyatan's mindcontrol engines cancel all of the master abilities. He has resently gone insane after being forced into killing his friends and has started talking to his engine which he has nicknamed Browning because of its color. By now he just wants to be free from Livyatan's grasp, yet there is no escape and so he has to keep killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing, and killing.

    Snakeskin is a decepticon who was born with special skin that allows him to shapeshift a second, much friendlier looking robot mode which he uses to go undercover in the autobot ranks with a very basic name which is Sprint. Right now he works for the evil autobot Livyatan but not in fighting but instead he tells him the location of decepticon bases deliberately giving it the longest ways to get to the decepticon so that the decepticons on those bases have time to escape however thanks to Livyatan's speed it barely helps, he sometimes even gives Livyatan the address of an autobot base however he doesn't do that frequently enough for Livyatan to notice. He was also responsible for giving some of the mindcontrolled decepticons such as Crashbash some of there freedom back and has even been able to free some of them... well not for long as Livyatan quicky kills the ones that do get free, so he doesn't let them be free anymore.

    Seashovel is a velocitronian triple changer who works 2 low salary jobs to afford energon which are: Track Building and Banner Flying and yet he doesn't win nearly as much money as those who race on his tracks. Because of this he feels like if he has no real purpose and won't ever be cared about since neither of his alt modes are fit for racing and worst thing is that he is right on that. Oh poor little gigantic Seashovel there aren't even any seas in velocitron.

    Boaterbus is a pretty happy lady from Gigantion with her job being to transport mini-cons around Gigantion in both modes and she loves mini-cons so it isn't much of an issue for her and "thinks" the mini-cons love her too... however most of them sadly only see her as well a source of transport but thankfully she is too dumb to realise thats how they see her which is a good or else she would be pretty sad.

    Slazer (the prototype name for Laserbeak) the bird lizard.
    Sea Clamp (the lobster from Beast Wars) the land lobster.
    Gouge (the prototype name for Overkill) the winged dinosaur?

    This one im not that lazy to make a story out of so here I got Turboblade (based on concept art for Star Saber) and Shinichi (based on the original idea for Clouder).
    upload_2022-10-24_18-5-49.png upload_2022-10-24_18-6-32.png
    Turboblade was the mentor to Saber during the early years of the war back when Saber was a hot-heated young soldier who had the need to scream everytime he did an attack (he still does that as Star Saber but its less cringe and more epic) and even though Turboblade was mostly a firepower user and wanted Saber to also be one but saw that Saber (as his name implies) was better with a sword than with a gun so even though Turboblade was not as good at swordfighting he still tried to teach Saber, until Saber surpassed him at that which Turboblade was very proud of. Optimus Prime once described Turboblade as a courageos, intellegent, strong and skillful yet still cheerful autobot who once saved Prime's life back when he was Orion Pax and Turboblade could have died aswell. He was the creator of Brainmaster technology alongside other scientists, even though the tech was only used millions of years in the future by his aprentice. He was killed by a time traveling decepticon.

    Star Saber decided to commision a replica of his mentor for future battles which the human allie of the autobots Shinichi would later use as a giant mech suit.

    These are all concepts for the pretender beasts. I don't know what to do with them so you go and give them personality and function BTW credit to TFRaw for all of these.

    Also this freaky looking lizard-elephant-rhino-scorpion quadrochanger who I nicknamed Quadnimal, also give him his own purpose.
