The Military Patrol is feared among the Autobots for the brutal, unrelenting assault style they learned on the streets of Cybertron. Bullies through and through, they enjoy encircling their enemies and simply blasting away until nothing is left but ash. Luckily for their foes, their cold mercilessness is only as effective as their continual infighting allows it to be. Each member of the team believes he should be the leader, and their general failure to work together will inevitably sabotage any mission they embark upon.[1]
