[edit]The burly Terror-Tread and Cement-Head were brothers working for Rage and his Stormtroopers during the early days of the Decepticon rebellion.

After scattering the Autobots forces, the brothers used their unique cubic vehicle modes to plow into one another, cutting off the Autobots' pursuit of Rage and his lackeys.
