The Scavengers IDW

Personality:   The individual members of the team are: Krok, the leader and obsessive-compulsive 'con searching for his squad; Krok often tries to stay straight-laced and that often tries to keep everyone else in line and make sure they don't get themselves killed either by the enemy or by their own stupidity (with mixed results). In combat, he's a very capable fighter that can be outright ruthless at times, willing to take down Autobots very brutally. Crankcase, who's missing a big chunk of his head; His name isn't Crankcase for nothing, as he's quite the cynical little 'bot with a dash of frequent deadpan snark. With the frequent cry of "Bah!", he can be found frowning all the time and grumbling about practically anything, often taking the opportunity to snark at anyone he can think of. However, surprisingly, he's actually one of the most competent members of his unit, as he tends to have his head in the game more than most of his teammates. He's surprisingly brave and resourceful when danger rears it's head despite his relative small size and lack of real combat skill. His dream is to be respected as a great warrior and/or leader like famous Destrons like Cyclonus or Sixshot. He might actually be a good leader: only problem with that is that he's too lazy to try. Despite his aspirations, he's shown to be really lazy and remarkably unmotivated to do... anything really, to the point that he actually gets nervous when the possibility of getting an actual job comes up. Although one thing that he does love is piloting ships, and would personally love to own his own personal starship. Flywheels, who's found Primus and can't tell a lie without transforming; Flywheels tries to keep it together and stay upbeat, he really does, but it's hard when your mind (and often your body) is literally divided in two. A split-personality would be trouble enough, but to add injury to illness Flywheel's two halves are very jealous of each other and basically hate each other's guts. They spend more time fighting one another than their enemies. It doesn't matter whether they're unified in robot-form or not, Flywheel's two halves go right on arguing, which can be disconcerting to others around him to say the least. Despite this, he can bring an amazing amount of concentrated firepower down upon his enemies, as getting payback on the 'bots that abandoned him is the one thing his two halves can agree on. Misfire, who got his name from an incident involving a "misunderstanding and a dozen dead Decepticons"; Misfire is a overly-hyper, chatty eccentric with a colorful, often melodramatic way of speaking, though he can come off as a bit rude at points. Moreover, he also has the cybertronian equivalent of ADHD, as he can get distracted easily - which yes, is also another factor into his poor aim. Heck, his unit would probably be at least halfway effective if it weren't for him. From accidentally shooting his own teammates during fights to nearly ruining a jailbreak by stopping for snacks, there are times where it seems like he's intentionally trying to get the others killed. Of course he isn't really, as he does genuinely care about all his comrades, almost like a family. In general actually, he's easily the nicest of them, having shown considerable empathy towards innocents or those who need help, including the Loud kids. And hey, he will hit his target every once in a while at least. Spinister, an idiot savant with an itchy trigger finger; Spinister is a bit of eerie loner that doesn't say much compared to his teammates. This makes very good at sneaking about for scouting missions and the like; but he's so good at that some people (namely Misfire, of course) think that he's secretly equipped with a cloaking device. Still, he's a very capable fighter in addition to a rather levelheaded tactician. But more impressively is his surgical skills, as he's able to perform intricate operations on complex machinery and other Cybertronians with near master-like skills. And despite not always saying it, he does care for his friends.
