Ramjet

Ramjet is a Decepticon Seeker who stands out even among the elite aerial warriors of Cybertron for his sheer, stubborn refusal to use a flight path that doesn't involve a direct collision. As a key member of the "Coneheads" alongside Dirge and Thrust, he has earned a reputation as the faction’s premier mid-air battering ram. While most Seekers pride themselves on agility and long-range strafing runs, Ramjet prefers the visceral impact of his own reinforced nosecone slamming into an opponent at Mach 2. He is built with an incredibly durable internal superstructure designed to withstand the massive G-forces and structural stress of his signature tactic, making him one of the few fliers who views a crash as a successful maneuver.

Appearance: Ramjet has beige and dark grey metallic skin. His eyes are glowing red. A tall, pointed cone-shaped helmet sits on his head, featuring a dark grey tip and a beige base. His upper torso features a dark grey collar area positioned above a central gold translucent oval panel. Two small circular vents are located on either side of this panel, with two yellow rectangular sections directly below them. Large beige and dark grey blocky armor plates cover his shoulders, each detailed with a single yellow rectangular accent. His arms have dark grey upper sections and massive cylindrical dark grey pods covering his forearms. These pods end in silver pointed tips. His hands are dark grey and feature segmented mechanical fingers. Two dark grey vertical fins with yellow horizontal bars at the top rise from his back behind his shoulders. His midsection is beige with vertical panel lines leading to a grey mechanical waist belt featuring two yellow rectangular details. His blocky beige thighs have rectangular indentations and connect to segmented knee joints with yellow accents. Large dark grey delta wings are attached to the outer sides of his lower legs. Each wing features a small silver cylindrical pod with a dark grey tip. His shins have dark grey mechanical panels, and his feet are thick, dark grey, and rectangular.

Personality: Ramjet is as blunt as the reinforced nosecone he uses to settle his arguments. He is an aggressive, arrogant brawler who possesses a near total lack of self preservation, largely because his internal frame is built to survive impacts that would vaporize a standard Seeker. While his peers discuss flight paths and strafing angles, he prefers to turn himself into a supersonic projectile. He views agility as a sign of cowardice and takes a perverse pride in every dent and scratch on his white armor, seeing them as proof that he can withstand anything the galaxy throws at him.

His relations within the Decepticon ranks are defined by a mutual lack of respect for finesse. He is a key member of the Conehead trio, though he often finds Dirge’s gloom and Thrust’s bravado irritating. He holds a special contempt for Starscream, whose obsession with surgical strikes and aerial elegance represents everything Ramjet despises about the Seeker elite. He follows Megatron’s orders with a singular, violent focus, mostly because the Decepticon leader provides him with a steady supply of targets to smash through. To Ramjet, every mission is just another opportunity to prove that a head-on collision is the most efficient form of diplomacy.

He uses cluster bombs and has 2 missile launchers. He transforms into a red and white F-15 Eagle.

The Autobots usually find themselves defending both their own race and other species against the Decepticons and upholding justice and freedom throughout the galaxy. A generally heroic, honorable group, they tend to be dedicated to peace, and feel a need to protect other races from the Decepticons. As a result, they are usually Transformers who change into non-combat oriented alternate modes such as domestic vehicles, cars, trucks, or rescue vehicles. This is not always the case, however, as their ranks certainly contain ne'er-do-wells, malcontents, and unsavory types, and the necessities of war have led many to adopt more combat-oriented alternate forms. While the Autobots have usually found themselves outnumbered by the Decepticons, the Autobots have always had home-field advantage, having not only the humans' military support, but also having more places on Earth to fall back on, while the Decepticons are entirely unwelcome on Earth. Key concepts that repeat throughout most continuities are the use of the name Prime (or a variation thereof) to denote Autobot leadership, and the existence of an artifact of great life-giving power, usually referred to as a "Matrix", traditionally held by their leader.

The Decepticons are a faction typically concerned with such things as conquering Cybertron, defeating the Autobots, amassing large quantities of energon, developing powerful weaponry, and beating people up. Not necessarily in that order. Unlike the Autobots, whose leader is a Prime bearing a Matrix, the Decepticons are led by the most powerful of their ranks. This tends to cause some conflict, given how generally every Decepticon thinks that they're the most powerful. Also, the Decepticons are not exactly the most compassionate beings in the universe, but not all fight for greed. More than a few have a sense of honor, while others believe that Cybertron would be better protected by aggressive expansion. Ultimately, the Decepticons desire to protect their homeworld, even if it is at the expense of others.

The spark is the core of Transformer life, an electrically charged mass of positrons formed from the supernatural substance known as Rarified Energon. Sparks come in a wide range of colors—while most are some shade of blue, green, yellow, orange, white, and red sparks have all been observed. While their appearances may vary, every spark functions as a combined heart and soul for an individual Cybertronian: like a heart, a Spark "pulses" at a certain frequency to animate a mechanical bodyframe; like a soul, a spark is generally accepted to contain some part of a Transformer's immaterial being, which persists after death by transcending into the afterlife. Indeed, most Cybertronian religions hold that each spark contains an infinitesimally small portion of Primus's divine essence. To protect their sparks, which usually can't survive outside of a compatible body for very long, most Cybertronians possess a specialized "spark chamber" somewhere in their body.

Most forms of Cybertronian reproduction involves the creation of a new spark—in many realities, supernatural artifacts such as the Vector Sigma supercomputer or the AllSpark can generate sparks at will, which can be implanted into a suitable receptacle to create a new Transformer. These newborn sparks contain the hard-coded design schematics that act as a Transformer's "genetic code", which dictates a Transformer's appearance and sometimes even their alternate modes. Sparks can be safely stored in stasis pods, "frozen" within photonic crystals, or even transplanted from one body to another with no ill effects, but they are susceptible to weapons fire and exotic forms of radiation. When a Transformer's body can no longer support its spark, it is "extinguished" and the Transformer is considered dead. As long as the spark is intact, however, it is possible to repair a Transformer, re-implant its spark, and effectively bring them back from the dead.
