The backstory from the brochure...
(The pirates are) bound for Cybertron!
But Cybertron is not defenseless. Noble, wise, and loyal to the cause, the
KNIGHTS OF CYBERTRON are steadfast in their protection of their
homeworld. Any villainy that dare threaten the planet will be met with
valiant courage, unwavering will, and Cybertron’s greatest warriors!
DECEPTICON PIRATE CANNONBALL
– A smarmy, charismatic
pirate leader, who rules through charm and subterfuge, rather than force
and intimidation, Cannonball is a Bot who’d sooner talk his way out
of a fight or into a prize, but is more than capable when he needs to
do battle. While he specializes in deception, fraud and even out-and-
out impersonation, Cannonball is also skilled with blades and melee
weapons – a true swashbuckler.
DECEPTICON PIRATE FERAK
– Ferak is a sadist and the Pirates’
maintenance man. He keeps the ship together and can cobble Engines
of Terror for casting fear on their victims. He used to be part of an
elite Decepticon team called “Squadron X” during the war, but has
found adapting to peacetime rather difficult. He is partnered with
the diminutive TORNADO, a former member of Squadron X, whose
alternate mode is a gun, but an ill-designed gun that jams and threatens
to explode if a round of ammunition becomes lodged (it happens a
lot – Ferak has the powder burns to prove it).
DECEPTICON PIRATE SCORPONOK
– Scorponok is the fusion of
machine and a Nebulan named Zarak. Last we had seen of Scorponok,
he was flying through space serving as the battleship for the tattered
remains of the Decepticon army. Now, however, Zarak has been forced
to scuttle much of that battleship, rebuilding Scorponok into a smaller
body.
AUTOBOT KNIGHT GINRAI
– He is the gruff, pragmatic and
downright paranoid military leader of the Autobots/Maximals. An old-
school warrior “Bot of Action”, Ginrai has earned the rank of Knight
Commander. A veteran of the old conflicts, he’s not entirely comfortable
with the peace, constantly waiting for the “other shoe to drop”.
AUTOBOT KNIGHT DEVCON
– A loner and former bounty hunter
who holds the rank of Knight Sergeant, Devcon is the Batman to Ginrai’s
Commissioner Gordon – the Bot willing to cross the line, bend the rules,
shake down an informant. He doesn’t play well with others, but he gets
the job done every time.
