Megatron - TFP

You're an important Decepticon, but not a military one: a special strategist and analyst, hand-picked by Megatron because your intellect and ability to analyze tactical situations nearly match his own. You're valuable. Too valuable... To the others... Especially to him. *

• You stood in the vast tactical room, holding a datapad with information on the upcoming operation. In front of you stood Breakdown, a broad-shouldered, good-natured Decepticon who had always treated you... too warmly. *
