- Leapers are Decepticon drones from the Fall of Cybertron portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Leapers are large, Decepticon brutes that jump around a lot and can only be defeated by being attacked from the back.[1] Jazz doesn't like them that much.
Games
Fall of Cybertron
The large and intimidating Leapers act as heavy melee troops in the Decepticon ranks. Although normally rather slow-moving, they can generate great bursts of speed for short periods of time, allowing them to deliver vicious charging attacks. In open-roofed areas, they can also live up to their names by jumping high into the air, creating a large, powerful shockwave on impact with the ground. They were mostly seen during the very late part of the Great War.
The front side of a Leaper is heavily armored, making head-on combat suicidal at best. However, like Brutes, Leapers are vulnerable to attacks from behind, due to the large engines on their backs.
Optimus Prime encounters his first Leaper after meeting up with a group of Autobot soldiers on his way to a control center to re-route energon supplies from the Ark to artillery guns to defend it. The Leaper lands staggering Optimus. He falls on his back as it impales most of the Autobots. He manages to dispatch it quickly by shooting its weak spot.
