'''Air Raid''' is a headstrong member of the Autobot [[flier (WFC)|flier]]s who would rather fly into a group of Decepticons instead of gunning them from afar because it's more fun. This attitude often puts him and his comrades in danger, though he almost as often tends to get them out of it.

During the Decepticons' assault on Iacon, Air Raid and [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]] assisted [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] by fighting off hordes of aerial Decepticons. As part of Optimus's plan to rescue [[Zeta Prime]] from imprisonment, he and some other Autobots were arrested and taken to Kaon. Just as they were about to be "recycled", Air Raid came from behind and shot the would-be executioner. However, Air Raid was captured. Optimus, [[Sideswipe (Prime)|Sideswipe]], and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] managed to rescue Air Raid, who showed them a way to Zeta Prime and helped fight off more Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}

'''Jetfire''' is a dedicated scientist whose personal upgrades to his chassis have made him the fastest Autobot on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He has a strong moral compass, which led to his fallout with his friend [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]], and does not believe in gray areas when making major decisions.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron''===
Jetfire was a [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] who defected from the [[Decepticon]]s to the [[Autobot]]s. He spent most of his time in a laboratory trying to further exploit the Autobots' flight capabilities – a scientific dead end, but one [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] placed great hope in. He was absent when [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] entered [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]] and stole the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], but accompanied Optimus with [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] as back-up during the rescue of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] from [[Kaon]]. They then moved to rid the [[Dark Energon]] from the [[core]] of Cybertron. While descending, Jetfire was tempted to try some Dark Energon, but Optimus told him if he did, Prime would have to kill him.

Once at the core, Optimus removed the Chamber and was given the [[Matrix of Leadership]], as well as orders to evacuate the planet as it began repairing itself. Optimus launched Project Generation One, which [[Jazz (Prime)|Jazz]] dubbed the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]''. Jetfire found the notion suicidal, but agreed to help and gave the Autobots time to complete the ''Ark'' by creating a diversion. Aerialbots and Seekers under his guidance gathered every space-worthy ship in the ruins of [[Six Lasers Over Cybertron]], while Jetfire picked the ''[[Eight Track]]'' for himself to captain.

After drawing out [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]], Jetfire evaded the Station's detection system by flying in and out of the Asteroid Belt. He slowly but surely bolted the ''Eight Track'' with an ingress tube on to an unguarded part of the Station, allowing the Autobots to enter and blow up the Dark Energon Facility. Jetfire managed to detach the ship in time before Trypticon crashed in the [[Mithril Sea|Mithric Sea]]. However, Trypticon survived and transformed, and Jetfire refused a place on the ''Ark'' to distract the monster with the flight-capable [[Wrecker]] [[Springer (Prime)|Springer]]. Megatron's elite entered Trypticon, who transformed into the ''Nemesis'' and flew after the ''Ark'', leaving Jetfire on Cybertron with the Wreckers, [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] and [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] to deal with [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]]'s forces. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}

Sideswipe (WFC)

[[Image:WFC Sideswipe.jpg|thumb|250px|It's like [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] rolled into one package.]]

'''Sideswipe''' is always happy in the heat of battle. He's also a bit of a smart-aleck, and this tends to cheese off [[Air Raid (Prime)|his comrades]]. Very competitive, he'll do anything to win.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron''===
Sideswipe made his name at the Autobot victory of [[Kalis]], bringing down [[Bruticus Maximus (Prime)|Bruticus Maximus]] with [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (Prime)|Jazz]]. Sideswipe boasted he tore off Bruticus' [[Onslaught (Prime)|head]], a claim [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] considered hyperbole. Optimus did not consider Sideswipe one of his closest comrades but he was often present at their meetings. He concurred with [[Jazz (Prime)|Jazz]] that fighting [[Dark Energon|Darkened]] Decepticons was better than fleeing, and he did so when [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] invaded [[Teletraan-1 (Prime)|Teletraan-1]] and took the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]]. Afterwards he aided in extracting Optimus when he rescued [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] from [[Kaon]], and guarded over Jazz and [[Prowl (Prime)|Prowl]] as they recovered from that adventure. When Optimus returned from Cybertron's [[core]] with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], he began [[Ark (Prime)|Project Generation One]], a plan to leave Cybertron as it purged itself of Megatron's poison. Though he understood why Optimus was doing it, it still felt to Sideswipe like they were quitting the war. He continued to accompany Optimus in sabotaging [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] and journeyed on the ''Ark'' through the last [[space bridge]], to a [[Milky Way|spiral galaxy]] where the [[AllSpark (Prime)|AllSpark]] was detected nearby.

As part of [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus's]] plan to rescue [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], Sideswipe was imprisoned in [[Kaon]] with the other Autobots. [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] sent the prisoners for "recycling", but [[Air Raid (Prime)|Air Raid]] rescued them just in time. Optimus, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee then fought their way in and out of the prison in order to save Zeta, to Sideswipe's enjoyment. Despite being teleported into prison again, courtesy of Megatron, Optimus used his energon axe to get them out, leaving Sideswipe impressed. The squad of Autobots freed the captured Air Raid and all the other prisoners, and then, after blasting through more Decepticons and barely making it over a floor under assault, intended to free Zeta Prime as well... but found him being guarded and tortured by Soundwave and his minions. After defeating them, Sideswipe accompanied Optimus and Bumblebee as they brought the deceased Zeta to the [[Autobot High Council]], and witnessed Optimus's promotion to [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}

Ironhide (WFC)

:''Ironhide is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Prime]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:IronhideWFCArt.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"And that's the bottom line, 'cause Ironhide said so."]]

'''Ironhide''' is a battle hardened veteran, one of the toughest amongst the Autobots. As one of [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus']] oldest and closest friends, Ironhide saw the great potential within Optimus to be more than what he allowed himself to be.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus: The History of the War for Cybertron''===
Ironhide first met Optimus Prime during the prolonged stalemate at [[Praxus]]. Furious at the loss of his home, Ironhide joined the Autobots despite his cynicism regarding Optimus's leadership. It was at Praxus that Optimus was first showed a preference to stand and fight rather than make strategic withdrawals, and Ironhide slowly but surely began to trust in Optimus. [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] commented that Ironhide's "pitiless edge" gave the Autobots a necessary advantage in defeating [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]].

When Megatron invaded [[Teletraan-1 (Prime)|Teletraan-1]] to steal the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], Ironhide made an uncharacteristically emotional display of anguish when [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]'s Seekers shot down [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]], who attempted to ferry the Chamber to safety. As [[Decepticon]]s attempted to claim the Chamber, Ironhide fought one but fell into the crater caused by Omega's impact. He defeated two more who jumped after him, and Optimus lifted him out of the pit, but he fell in again when another Decepticon struck him in the face with a hooked chain. Megatron blasted Optimus, causing him to fall on top of Ironhide, but he ordered his commander to ignore him and stop Megatron.

After the battle, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] welded Ironhide's face back together. When Optimus proposed leaving Cybertron on the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'', Ironhide boarded the ''[[Eight Track]]'' with him to distract the Decepticons. Realizing Megatron had a beam aboard ''[[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]]'' Station, Ironhide and the Autobots boarded the ship and blew up its [[Dark Energon]] Facility, causing it to crash. He then boarded the completed ''Ark'' and escaped Cybertron through the last [[space bridge]] to the [[Milky Way]]. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}

:''Voice actor:'' [[Keith Szarabajka]] (English), [[Pietro Ubaldi]] (Italian)

Ironhide led a squad of Autobots to defend the [[Decagon]] during the [[Decepticon]] invasion of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. With the loss of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], Ironhide's old friend Optimus was forced to take command of the Autobots, an act that the old soldier approved, as he was glad that Optimus was finally stepping up to take his rightful place in the Autobot hierarchy. After helping Optimus and his team by clearing a path for them to the Decagon (and taking down two [[Brute (WFC)|Brute]]s, tearing one in half), he continued to lead the others to (successfully) push the Decepticons into retreat.

After Optimus became Optimus '''''[[Prime (rank)|Prime]]''''', Ironhide and [[Warpath (Prime)|Warpath]] joined him on the mission to clear the core of Cybertron that was infected with [[Dark Energon]]. Ironhide constantly rebuked the young, agressive Warpath's shoot-first attitude. Heading to the [[Omega Gate]], the three Autobots found [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] being tortured with Dark Energon. Freeing the massive Autobot, Ironhide joined Optimus and Warpath in protecting [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] long enough to repair Omega to the open the Gate. Heading underground, the three Autobots found [[space slug]]s working to clear the Dark Energon crystals. When they were sealed off in a cavern, another slug came in and killed an attacking Decepticon, to which the old, knowledgable Ironhide offered the [[universal greeting]], but the slug simply ignored them and moved on with its task. The three Autobots then found a trio of slugs with [[Ion Displacer]] turrets on their backs, and provided cover fire for the slugs as they made their way through Cybertron. Unfortunately, a [[corrupted space slug]] attacked the trio, knocking them underground and killing the slugs. Regrouping at the core, they were attacked by the corrupted slug, and managed to defeat it. Unfortunately, the Dark Energon corrupted the [[Primus|Core]], which could only purge the corruption by shutting down all systems, leaving Cybertron uninhabitable and forcing the Transformers to leave Cybertron. Before departing, Ironhide and Warpath witnessed Optimus receive a part of the Core's essence, the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

As the evacuation went underway, Megatron used his orbital station to attacking fleeing transports. A group of [[Aerialbot (Prime)|Aerialbots]] under [[Silverbolt (Prime)|Silverbolt]] managed to shut down the stations's cannon, only to learn that the station itself was a Cybertronian named [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]]. Ironhide joined Optimus and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] in finishing off the monster. Though many Autobots managed to escape, a number of them, Ironhide included, stayed behind to fight against Megatron's schemes. Optimus commissioned the building of a new starship, the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'', to take the Autobots from Cybertron, [[Earth|wherever they may go]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

The [[Autobot]]s' medical officer, '''Ratchet''' has a dry wit, often giving his wounded comrades a hard time for taking hits he somehow avoids.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus'' novel===
Ratchet made his name during the [[Praxus|Praxian]] stalemate. He and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] fought in a few battles together, during which he taught the younger Autobot how to apply first aid. He repaired his throat after [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] destroyed it in revenge for ejecting the [[AllSpark (Prime)|AllSpark]] into space, enabling Bumblebee to speak from time to time. After Megatron invaded [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]] and took the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], Ratchet welded [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]]'s face and stabilized [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]]'s condition. When [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] asked Ratchet if Omega was ready to fight again, the offended medic responded that if Optimus wanted Omega to fight after the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s blew him out of the sky, [[Dark Energon]]-infused gladiators attacked him and Megatron tore out the Chamber out of his chest, then he wanted another surgeon. Optimus knew he had to apologize but was too preoccupied with rescuing [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]]. When the Autobots left Cybertron on the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'', Ratchet informed Optimus and [[Ultra Magnus (Prime)|Ultra Magnus]] that Omega was repaired and ready to distract [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}''

During the [[Decepticon]]s' siege of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]], Ratchet was assigned to Optimus, and helped him rescue a courier named [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], who informed Optimus that with the presumed death of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], the Council was putting him in command. The three of them headed back to the command center, receiving a message from [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]] that the [[Aerialbot (Prime)|Aerialbots]] were being overwhelmed and needed support. It was decided that the planetary guns, disabled earlier by [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron's]] forces, needed to be brought back online. Informing Jetfire that he was taking temporary command, Optimus took Ratchet and Bumblebee with him on the mission, though when Ratchet questioned the "temporary" part, Optimus brushed it aside.

When that mission was completed, they decided their next stop was the [[Decagon]], in order to re-establish communications and coordinate Iacon's defense. Hitting serious resistance, including several [[Decepticon war machine]]s and more than a few damaged lifts which Ratchet puzzled out a way around, they nonetheless prevailed with help from Jetfire and [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]], before reaching the Decagon itself, where they encountered the former Autobot [[Air Commander|Sky Commander]], [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. They managed to defeat him as well and retook the Decagon.

After Optimus was named the new [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], he went on a mission to free [[Cybertron]]'s core of Megatron's [[Dark Energon]] corruption. In order to do so, however, he needed to open the [[Omega Gate]], which would require freeing [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] from Decepticon captivity. Omega was still badly damaged from his battle with Megatron's forces, so Optimus called in Ratchet, whom Prime, [[Warpath (Prime)|Warpath]], and Ironhide protected during his operation to repair Omega Supreme. After the Omega Gate was opened, Ratchet returned to base with Omega, as field repairs could only do so much.

When [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] fell to the surface from orbit, Ratchet organized the rescue effort. After Trypticon was defeated, he praised Optimus on his success, but was the price paid was costly - many Autobots were lost, and those remaining were now forced to abandon Cybertron while the planatary [[Primus|Core]] repaired the damage. Ratchet was one of those who stayed behind with Optimus to resist Megatron's schemes, and to build an ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'' to carry them from their home when the time came. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}
