I think ZacWilliam's right. Of course, there's not a whole lot to say about it.
Line 1: Line 1:
Some Cybertronians are just better suited to certain jobs. Whether as a factor of their design, armament, and integrated equipment, or simply a love of certain activities, many [[Transformer]]s settle into fairly stable combat or civilian roles within [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s social strata. Certainly there are trends, with the [[Decepticon]]s favoring militaristic functions and [[Autobot]]s often better suited to civil works and research, there are no hard and fast functions forced upon Cybertronians. Oftentimes an otherwise gruff death-dealing Decepticon will indulge in whimsy and even... [[Slog|art]].
One of the recurring elements of [[bio|toy bios]] is the characters' '''function'''. Most [[franchise]]s from Generation 1 and onward have included a "function" listing at the top of the bio.  ''Armada'' was the first to not include it as part of the character's description.
 
Typical functions include:
* [[Tracks (G1)|Warrior]]
* [[Brawn|Demolitions]]
* [[Perceptor (G1)|Scientist]]
* [[Grapple|Architect]]
* [[Submarauder|Undersea Warfare]]
* [[Bludgeon (G1)|Electric Warrior]]
* [[Thundercracker|Rebel Warrior]]
* [[Sky-Byte|Shark]]


==Fiction==
===Transformers Animated===
The crew of the [[Ark (Animated)|Ark]] are quite expressly ''not'' outfitted for combat functions. A group of misfits and washouts, most are simple repairbots, accompanied by the medibot [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] and the former [[Autobot Academy]] student [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]]. This leaves them at a significant disadvantage facing the heavier-armed combat configured chassis of the Decepticons serving under [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]].
