| The '''Hapless trooper''' is a fiercely loyal Decepticon who volunteered for [[Project Re-Birth]] in order that... ''oh who are we kidding?'' He didn't ''volunteer.'' Straxus strapped him to a table, screaming, while techs disected and rebuilt his body in the image of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]; all part of a too-elaborate-by-half scheme by Straxus to regain control of the Decepticon army.

| Pray that madness claimed him early in the process, because what followed you would not wish on your most hated enemy. ''*shudder*''

| |
| * Several troopers sharing the same general design as the Hapless trooper (all displaying slight differences) appear at [[Transference Station Two]] in "[[Resurrection!]]" around the time Straxus was implementing [[Project Re-Birth]], though it it ''highly unlikely'' that the Hapless trooper was among them; Straxus's plans were already ''well'' underway by that point. These troopers have the same yellow-red-and-white color scheme used by [[Darkmount]] technicians.
