Fictional biography
Likes to watch things explode. Especially enjoys firing his helicopter's sonic cannon at anything associated with the Autobots. Transforms the copter into a battle base to use its powerful molecular disruptor gun to alter the Autobot's circuitry. Other Decepticons suspect all the explosions have rattled his brain circuits once to often!

He and his commander Skystalker left Cybertron and became rivals to the Autobot Micromasters Countdown and Groundshaker.
