- Pounce is a Decepticon Clone from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Pounce is the Decepticon equivalent of Repugnus (though the difference between the two is fairly microscopic). He does the dirty jobs that even the other Decepticons find repugnant. And as far as he's concerned, the dirtier the better. Anti-social, vicious, nasty, wily, silent, deadly and merciless are all appropriate descriptors for Pounce. What few realize is that much of Pounce's success at his job stems from the carefully cultivated reputation he's created for himself.
Pounce is the clone brother of Wingspan.
- French-Canadian name: Fauve
- Italian name: Roboclon
