The Leader: Sam Witwicky
Well, if not our leader, he appears to be our lead. He screams a lot, which may be confused with giving orders. On various occasions, he is seen to be unpopular at school, a stuff up at college, unable to relate to women, and can't get a job. We're all doomed.

Specialist/Tech Support: Mikaela Banes
Also our resident hottie, Mikaela is adept at fixing cars and motorcycles and stuff, all while sticking her rear end out at improbable angles. Apparently emits some kind of Transformer-affecting pheromones, based on the amorous behaviour of smaller 'bots in her presence.

Heavy Support: Captain William Lennox
A capable and determined military man, Cpt Lennox has the might of the US military at his beck and call. He is also responsible for such tactics as taking the object the enemy is seeking and hiding it in a city. Yep, when giant killer alien robots are after something you've got, clearly the best course of action is to take said McGuffin into a densely populated area. Freakin' GENIUS.

Fast Support: Agent Seymour Simmons
Agent Simmons is designated as fast support due to his ability to rapidly summon numerous shady agent type characters to take down smaller Autobots who aren't fighting back. He also works in a deli, so free cabana for everyone.

Infantry/Cannon fodder: These random dudes.
With unlikely names such as Sgt Noble, Major Disaster, Sgt Recon and Major Altitude (don't ask me which is which - I don't know and I care even less), these guys are much like that one guy in every Star Trek episode that isn't Kirk/Spock/Sulu/Bones/etc and ends up being killed.
So... Kick-ass or what?
I liked it.![]()
The thread is not letting me post my images. Oh well, here's my new team: IACON KNIGHTS!
Leader = Drift (Generations)
After a personal vouch from Rodimus to Optimus Prime, Drift has been given his own command. Still driven by his former life as the Decepticon Deadlock & close calls with the afterlife, Drift wishes to find something more substantial than circuits & servos out there while at the same time protecting what he has come to value in life. With the trust he has been given by the Autobot high command, Drift hopes to lead his new team on a spiritual journey while protecting the values he has learned with his Great Sword.
Heavy Support = Springer (Botcon & Generations)
Former leader of the Wreckers, Springer has been chosen by Drift to be his second in command. Trustworthy, dependable & loaded up to his optics with arsenal, Springer can always be counted on to back his team up. He also wishes to test out his new body which now not only allows him change alt modes even faster than before, he can now morph his body to better suit his alt mode. Perceptor believes that this new ability may lead to the next stage in evolution for the transformer race. Whatever the reason, Springer takes it all in his stride.
Fast Support = Prowl (Animated)
Sacrificing his spark to save Optimus & Detroit has lead to an unusual situation for Prowl. Now in another dimension where things are a bit odd & out of place, Prowl has nevertheless been able to find a niche in his new life. He and Drift became fast friends and was more than happy to join him on his team. His speed and reflexes in combat training have clocked new records and will be invaluable to whatever he & his group face.
Survivalist = Wheelie (Generations)
Things have come full circle for the once lonely & isolated Wheelie. Chosen by Drift for his ability to adapt, think on his leg struts & loyalty to his teammates, Drift knows he can count on Wheelie when things get sticky. Wheelie has even been given a bigger & more powerful form to help his new team & make him feel as an equal. Ever cheerful & grateful, Wheelie wants nothing more than to repay the faith & trust that has been given to him.
Brawler (infantry) = Kick Off (Botcon)
Vorns as a POW & being forced to kill his fellow Autobots to survive made Kick Off not wanting to get close to anyone when he finally broke out. Rage & guilt fuel his spark over what happened. On Rung’s recommendation he has been placed in this new team. Not only for his abilities in all forms of physical combat & his knowledge on security systems & tactics, but to help him find inner peace. Rung believes Drift’s & Prowl’s search for something more out in the universe may help Kick Off some closure. A tiny bit of Kick Off hopes for the same.
Interceptor (infantry) = Streetwise (Botcon)
Streewise’s decision to join Drift’s team surprised a few. Streetwise himself was taken aback with Drift’s request, wanting to stay on Earth help bring back the rest of his fallen comrades. But Drift knew that he didn’t have to limit is search just to Earth. There is a whole universe out there waiting to be explored. Streetwise’s abilities to blend into new cultures & remember places of importance will prove invaluable to them on this mission. And if it helps to bring the rest of the Protectobots, so much the better. Streetwise need little convincing after that.
