Leaper
- 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
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.
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. Fall of Cybertron
Notes
- The Leaper's concept art shows it having the ability to change form, something that was not carried over to the final game.
Foreign names
