Animated Combaticons Brigade

The Combaticons are a team of Decepticons created by Starscream, after a fierce arguement with Megatron. In exile, Starscream stole synthetic and unstable AllSpark fragments from an Autobot research facility on Cybertron (secretly funded by Megatron to have the fragments for himself). The former second-in-command then placed the fragments in rusted war vehicles on a desolate island in the middle of nowhere... thus, creating the brutal Combaticons:
Blast Off:
Function: Sniper
Alt. Mode: Stealth-craft Nighthawk
Allspark color: Icy Blue
"I have no friends for I have no equal!"
-To Blast Off, he is above everyone... both figuratively and literally. To him, he is better than everyone in every conceivable way, whether it's intelligence, skill or power. He usually spends most of his time in far and isolated places from others, being he a sniper to take down far-away targets... which may make him a bit lonely... just the way he likes it. While he lacks certain firepower the other Combaticons have, he makes up for it with deadly accuracy, as he boasts that his Hand-Ionic Blater can hit a dime-sized target from a neightboruing planet. His alt. mode is a Stealth-Craft Nighthawk plane, which silently flies through the air at lightning speed, bringing devastation to all under him.

Onslaught:
Function: De facto Leader
Alt. Mode: Armored personnel carrier with missle launcher rack
AllSpark color: Navy Blue
"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight, soldier!"
-Onslaught is a soldier to the core. He sees everyone (and his comrades) as fellow soldiers in battle. Anyone who does not ft his image of a soldier is a maggot to him. A times, he can be an intelligent strategist that can spot out any small detail; however, in most cases, he'd rather just fight every other bot he can lay his hands on. Rather than laser rifles or guns, he hauls around an impressive array of missles, grenades that have different but equally deadly effects to them. His alt. mode is an armored personal carier fitted with a missle launcher rack which can spin around 360 degress at all targets.

Vortex:
Function: Interrogator
Alt. Mode: Attack-Copter
Allspark color: Yellow-orange
"Nice processor. I think I'll take it! Hahaha!"
-Calling Vortex crazy is an understatment. Vortex is insane in the processor, cackling madly for no reasons. He is so insane, he makes the other Combaticons uncomfortable around him, but keep him anyway for his skills. As interrogator, he has ways of making Autobots talk... such as tossing them in a whirlwind of terror, latching onto as he laughs madly or holding them in his storage cargo, giving his occupent the (last) ride of their life. Rather than conventional weapons Decepticons use, he carries around a rotating Tornado Sawblade on his back which becomes his alt. mode's rotor blades. The sawblade can generate furious wings that tear things apart and, when it becomes a glowing orange, it can cut through anything. His alt. mode is an attack helicopter, which is known for it's firepower and ability to hold hostages in for interrogation.

Brawl:
Function: Brawler
Alt. Mode: Heavy-duty Tank
Allspark color: Blood Red
"Defend yourself... for all the good it will do!"
-Brawl is mostly known for three things: his unbridled rage, he prowess in any format of battle and his love battle. In and out of battle, Brawl can be heard by all, as he speaks loudly (in all terms in speaking), wanting more and more fighting. In battle, he be seen either tearing his foes apart with his hands and retractable 100 inch claws from his servos, or blasting them apart from his wide-arange of armaments; such as servo-mounted turrets, arm cannon or his back-mounted dual blasters.. all the while roaring wildly like an animal. His alt. mode with a heavy-duty tank with many mounted turrets o his frame and large mine-plow claws on the front, where he can cut down anything he rams into.

Swindle:
Function: Arms dealer
Alt. mode: Military Humvee
Allspark color: Bright violet
""Hey man. Wanna buy a plasma cannon, cheap?"
-A one-bot "black market", Swindle is the greediest of the Combaticons. He is also know to be incredibly selfish and looks-out for number 1: himself, although he is more than willingly to help-out his Combaticon team if only to preserve himself. As an arms dealer, he is known to make deals with almost anyone he comes across, be it Decepticons, alien races and even the occasional Autobot (though the he makes sure the latter is ripped-off horribly). Also, he carries around a wide variety of gadgets and weapons, such as an arm Null-Laser canon, grapling hooks, magnetic pulser rays, among others. He would gladly part with some of his products, though he tends to keep the best for himself. His alt. mode is a military humvee, moutd with a large null-laser canon to attack in whatever mode he is in.

The designs of the Combaticons (save Swindle) are of my design, although their designs are somewhat based on other versions of themselves or from other franchises.
