Transformers (RID)

Russell lived with his mother for several years, separately from Danny. When she left for Europe, the son was sent to his father, and the boy was secretly glad about it. Shortly after his arrival in Crown City, a Cybertronian prison ship crashed to Earth, from which hundreds of Decepticons escaped. The boy ran away from Denny’s junkyard into the forest, where he met Sideswipe. Together, they fled from Underbite to the crash site, where the boy hid from the Decepticon behind one of the prison capsules. When the enemy drove off in the direction of Crown City, Russell imagined in horror what would happen next. Russell isn’t very good at playing American football, but he kicks the ball very well. He also inherited the basics of acting from his father. At one time, Russell got along very well with his father, but then, for some reason, they broke up and didn’t communicate for a long time. The boy believes that Danny should be more involved in real life instead of wasting time collecting all sorts of junk at the dump. Nevertheless, he wants to overcome the rift and get closer to his father, so he doesn’t like it when Danny goes on missions alone. And as soon as Danny finds himself in danger, his son instantly forgets about all their disagreements.

Denny was in charge of the scrapyard and was enjoying the company of his son Russell, who had arrived, when a prison ship crashed onto the planet, from which hundreds of Decepticons escaped. Denny and Russell met the Autobots and helped them catch the criminals. Denny also provided them with cars for scanning. Denny is an excellent actor, capable of impersonating anyone. He also has a good understanding of technology and can even repair Cybertronian mechanisms. The man loves his junkyard and can’t stand it when anyone, even his beloved son, treats it with disdain. Danny really wants to improve his relationship with his son and sincerely rejoices at every successful step in that direction.

Fixit worked on a prison ship. When the ship crashed, the Minicon sent an SOS signal. Soon he met Bumblebee, Strongarm, Sideswipe, and Russell. Fixit is too small and weak to fight alongside the other Autobots, but he can carry massive loads thanks to the wheels that replace his legs. In tank‑drill mode, he can quickly drill his way through any obstacles, including Decepticons. In robot mode, he is armed with a built‑in blaster. It can also take the form of a handheld medical device for performing operations if its built‑in instruments (or its size and strength) prove insufficient. Minicon is very active and is constantly busy with something. Due to his tiny size, he is the most vulnerable member of Bumblebee’s team. Nevertheless, he is aware of his own importance in the team and wouldn’t mind teasing one of his comrades. He is also a bit cowardly and, in case of danger, is ready to hide even behind a child’s back. Fixit has an interesting peculiarity — he often gets confused with words, calling out several similar‑sounding words before he remembers the one he needs (it can be assumed that this is the result of an injury sustained by the minicon during the shipwreck). He is very afraid of not being useful and has a strong need for constant approval and praise, as he understands that, in a sense, he is broken. Moreover, he's not the only model of the minicon security guard, which means he can be replaced if necessary.

Before the Great War, Optimus was known as Orion Pax and was an Iacon archivist, a disciple of Alpha Trion. Later, he became the fourteenth true Prime, acquiring the Matrix of Leadership (Sentinel Zeta, who preceded him and also held this title, did not fully deserve it). At the same time, Optimus is most likely the reincarnation of the Thirteenth. Orion Pax was an ordinary worker in the city archive of Iacon. His task was to listen to messages transmitted over the information network for the purpose of subsequent classification. The Cybertronian carried out this task without a shred of doubt until he heard a message from the champion of the gladiatorial arena of Kaon — Megatronus. His statements made the young archivist think about the injustice of the existing class system and the corruption of the current authorities, and Orion began to communicate with him. Later, Megatronus became a good friend and mentor to Orion. Through a path of victories and bitter experience, Optimus became the military leader of the Autobots and the victor over the Decepticons. He is dignified and stands out with his red and blue body coloration. His blue eyes are filled with the wisdom of all the preceding Primes. He isn’t part of Bumblebee’s team, but he communicates with him via phone calls.

Primus sensed that Earth was in danger and placed Windblade in stasis even before Cybertron was completely devastated by the war. When Windblade awoke from stasis, Optimus Prime began to teach her. Impressed by his ward’s abilities, he personally tasked Windblade with going to Earth to track down the Decepticons. She also became part of Bumblebee’s team, but she communicates with them via video call, as she is busy with important matters on Cybertron after the victory. Windblade transforms into a maneuverable Cybertronian aircraft with two turbine engines housed in casings that can rotate around their axis. This feature helps the Autobot not only during landing after a flight (which becomes smoother thanks to it) but also in combat with opponents: it allows her to direct the wind currents generated by the turbines in the desired direction. In addition, Windblade is armed with an energon sword and a pair of laser pistols. She is a slender warrior with a beautiful, bright coloration, resembling bold makeup on her face and a black-and-red body. At one point, she even flirted with Sideswipe, but he was too young for her. She has blue eyes, like the others.

Once upon a time on Cybertron, Jetstorm and Slipstream stole to survive, but later they became Drif’s apprentices, who saved them. Jetstorm, like Slipstream, transforms into a round‑shaped torpedo that, in its “non‑operational” state, attaches to the wearer’s wrist, thereby providing them with additional armor. Jetstorm’s only weapon is nunchaku, which, however, are quite multifunctional. Both of them are somewhat quiet and obedient students of Drift, who are afraid of not pleasing him or making mistakes, as they believe they must constantly improve for the sake of their master. They are both very short, almost like human 9‑year‑old children, but they wear red‑and‑black armor with bright blue eyes. They are Minicons, so their somewhat amusing behavior in their free time is understandable.

Drift and his minicons were among the “shadows” of Shadow Raker — a Decepticon who forced others to steal for him in exchange for housing, until they found their way and fled. When a bounty was placed on Bumblebee’s head for the illegal use of the space bridge, Drift immediately flew to Earth. But the hunt was disrupted by the Decepticon Fraksher. Other Autobots helped Drift defeat him. Later, he reconciled with Bumblebee and remained on his team. Drift transforms into a passenger car. It has very strong armor, and as weapons it uses two katanas, as well as its own minicons — Jetstorm and Slipstream — which it can launch at the enemy like torpedoes. When folded, they are attached to his arms, thereby providing additional protection. Drift has the character of a true warrior. He is calm and level‑headed; nothing is more important to him than honor. He is very strict with his minicon apprentices. He looks like an orange samurai with blue eyes.

Grimlock was once the champion of a sports game called “Cube” and was known as Steelwall. Following the 217th Cybertron Cup, he was awarded the status of the most valuable player. Later, the Dinobot was arrested for causing serious property damage (according to Bumblebee, this happened because “Grimlock was Grimlock”) and was placed on the prison spaceship “Alchemor.” Grimlock was one of the prisoners on the Alchemor until the ship crashed on Earth. Then he joined Bumblebee’s team in capturing other prisoners and became an indispensable member. Grimlock’s alternate form is an almost complete copy of Earth’s tyrannosaurus. He is huge compared to the other team members and has sharp teeth and claws. He doesn’t have any weapons as such: in battle, the Dinobot relies on brute force. Grimlock loves a good fight. He also became very attached to Bumblebee’s squad. Remaining loyal to his friends, the Dinobot is ready to fight his own kind, to take hits, and to hide his pain, just so as not to let the team down. He has blue eyes, like all Autobots. In his free time, away from battles, he likes to dance and play football. Strangely enough, the large and strong Dinobot suffers from various phobias: he is terribly afraid of being tickled and of earth cats, and he can’t stand it when someone approaches him from behind without warning. He’s quite childish and silly, but at the same time, he can use his cognitive abilities in stressful situations.

Sideswipe, due to his youth, did not participate in the Cybertronian war. Therefore, he had nowhere to put his strength and abilities to use, and he spent them misbehaving and breaking every possible rule. During one of these mischievous trips, he was arrested by Strongarm; on the same day, he ends up on Earth, but after meeting Underbite, he realizes that his calling is to help his new friends catch the Decepticons who escaped from the Alchemor. Later, he often works in pairs with Strongarm (which he doesn’t like). When the team was split up, he ended up in a group with Windblade, Drift, his minicons, and Optimus, where he got on everyone’s nerves with his incessant chatter.
Sideswipe behaves like a human teenager; all his antics are nothing more than a way to draw attention to himself, and, as a rule, he ends up suffering from them himself. However, when he manages to prove himself in real action, it turns out that he is not only brave but also quite intelligent and resourceful. Autobot is young and impulsive; he prefers fighting superior enemy forces to covert operations. Sideswipe often acts on his own, ignoring orders. On Earth, Autobot quickly became friends with Russell; the boy considers him a role model. He is noticeably thinner than the other male team members, but he also stands out due to his bright red, shiny body. He transforms into a sports car. He has blue eyes, like all Autobots.

Strongarm was a cadet in the Elite Guard. She worked in a pair with Bumblebee and dreamed of learning a lot from her partner. Now she is on Earth with Bumblebee, whom she calls Lieutenant. She transforms into a police car and has a similar body color. She is no taller than Bumblebee, but she is very strong, especially for a girl, because she doesn’t even have to exert much effort to pull Grimlock along on the platform in her vehicle form during missions. At Strongarm Academy, she learned to follow the rules, and this became her main principle. She constantly wants to learn something new, so she asks Bumblebee to share the experience she gained while training under Prime. She is very proud that her mentor is a celebrated hero; every word of his is sacred to her, and Strongarm, despite all her strictness and devotion to the letter of the law, would rather break the rules than challenge Bumblebee’s decision.
As for Sideswipe, he is a constant “headache” for Strongarm. She is always trying to “reform” him, but he just won’t give in. On this basis, they constantly argue and quarrel, but in serious matters they learn to act together and help each other. In the end, something greater than mere cooperation emerges between them. She has blue eyes, like all Autobots.

When the Autobots needed a messenger (the Decepticons had blocked all other forms of communication) to deliver the news about the fall of Zeta Prime to Optimus, Bumblebee volunteered to do it. Along the way, he encountered a group of Decepticons but was saved by a transformer with an axe, who turned out to be Optimus. After that, Bumblebee and his new acquaintances had to recapture the city, which the Decepticons had already declared their property. During one of the missions, his voice box was broken, but after Bumblebee killed the Decepticon leader Megatron, his voice returned. For some time, he was on Earth, which he was saving. After returning to Cybertron, Bumblebee did his best to keep his home peaceful, taking on a position in the Elite Guard as a lieutenant. His eventual return to Earth began on a mission in which Cadet Strongarm accompanied him on a Ride-Along where they responded to a "2-1-1" in progress, caused by rebel Autobot Sideswipe. During the chase, Optimus Prime appeared to Bumblebee in a vision, within a small pool of water just in front of Optimus Prime's own memorial statue, and silently pointed toward the Cybertron History Museum and Earth. In general, Optimus’s appearance forced Bumblebee to come to Earth through a portal with Strongarm and Sideswipe. Bumblebee is desperately brave, yet at the same time kind and selfless, ready to give his life for his comrades. Despite his injury, he is very sociable and is the easiest Autobot to communicate with, especially children. By the standards of the Transformers, Bumblebee is relatively young, but he bravely fights the Decepticons, honing his combat skills and gaining strength; in the end, he manages to defeat Megatron himself. Bumblebee is about 6 meters tall; he is a huge yellow Autobot robot with blue eyes, symbolizing goodness. He is still Optimus’s student, but he has also become the leader of his own team.
