Transformers Warfare: Reflector Reconnaissance Team

While Ravage and Laserbeak are known for their espionage, Viewfinder and his fellow members of the Reflector Reconnaissance Team (RRT for short) specialize in it. Armed with special recon equipment to do their job effectively, they can almost seem like a single unit split between three bodies with how single minded they act. Behind the scenes, however, is three individual personalities, all with their own ambitions and goals, though they usually find themselves agreeing on a single task more often then not. Megatron is content to allow them a bit of leeway, so long as their schemes don't endanger the Decepticon cause... and their rivalry with Soundwave stay non-violent.

Viewfinder

The leader of the RRT, Viewfinder loves to study his fellow Decepticons in hopes of catching them doing something blackmail worthy, enlisting their help for a project of his in return for that certain something not being released to all Decepticon communications channels, and then leaking footage of whatever incident anyways for a cheap laugh. Unsurprisngly, this means he isn't too popular with many other Decepticons and more then once, he's wound up on the wrong end of a gun. Luckily for him, he has the ability to replicate himself to get out of danger in a pinch. This ability also comes in handy in a fight, allowing him to even the odds with his "Photon Clones" whenever he winds up outnumbered.

Viewfinder transforms into a M1117 Guardian. He is armed with a Lens Laser rifle.

Spyglass

A loyal follower of Viewfinder, Spyglass is always eager to join in on whatever plan her leader has cooked up, even more so if it allows her an opportunity to catch a glimpse at something she's only ever heard of. She lives to watch and record anything and everything, both for the sake of her own curiosity and in case it happens to benefit her or the RRT as a whole. It's for this reason that she can be often seen flying around in her alt mode.

Spectro

On the surface, Spectro is just as eager as Spyglass to join in on Viewfinder's latest scheme, but in reality, this is more due to the urging of his fellow teammate then any real sense of enthusiasm. Even without Spyglass dragging him into anything, he'd still be likely to join in, as he isn't a very independent bot. This flaw ends up being a liability more often then not, however, and he's usually the first to "reflect" blame when things don't go according to plan. Viewfinder and Spectro put up with it due to his usefulness, but the other Decepticons would rather exile him to Archa Seven then allow him to stay around any longer.

Spectro transforms into a BRDM-2. He is armed with a Shutter Blaster rifle.

Hello and welcome to the blog!

This will be an ask blog for decepticons! It has a vague g1 setting and is meant to be for fun. Don’t expect anything serious. It’s a ballpit of nonsense.

Rules for asks and a list of characters that are open to ask are below.

Mod of the blog is @water-turned-the-robots-gay

{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}

Rules

Specify which character(s) your question is directed at somewhere in your ask.

You can ask up to four characters at a time, but it’s flexible. If you’re asking a group- such as Constructicons for example- I might have them all answer. It depends on my motivation and what the ask is

Shipping or suggestive asks are fine, but no super 18+ stuff

Don’t spam the ask box. If you’re worried about an ask getting eaten up, you can send a second one, or dm me and ask about it

-and now the obvious rule of don’t be a jerk. Please be nice to me.

{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}

Character List!

The list will definitely be added to later. For now, these are just the main four ‘cons and my special Problematic Faves, who I love dearly. (I didn’t want to start off shoving fifty of the fuckers on here)

If you want to suggest characters to add go ahead! I might not put them on here, but I don’t mind you asking. Anyways here’s the list!

High command: Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave(and his children cassettes), Shockwave

Seekers: Thundercracker, Skywarp, Starscream(he’s too amazing to be confined to just one group)

Constructicons: Scrapper, Hook, Scavenger, Long Haul, Mixmaster, and Bonecrusher

Stunticons: Motormaster, Breakdown, Drag Strip, Dead End, and Wildrider

Reflector Trio: Viewfinder, Spyglass, Spectro

{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}

And that’s it! Hope you enjoy the blog :D

Toys released as part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy toylines usually feature an individualised military insignia, denoting each character’s position in their respective army’s command structure. The three part insignia, delineated by Hasbro here, reveals the character’s Division (Land, Air, Sea, Space), Unit (Infantry, Intelligence, Medic, Engineering, Special Ops, Artillery, Transport), and Rank (General, Major, Captain, Sergeant, Private). Above is a diagram listing the command structure of all War for Cybertron Trilogy toys, constructed from original research and using my own photos where possible.

Larger versions of these charts are available here.

Some things to note:

Inclusions: For the purpose of this chart above, a War for Cybertron Trilogy figure is defined as a toy released outside of Siege, Earthrise, or Kingdom.  This means that the above toys are predominantly from the exclusive subline tying into the War for Cybertron Trilogy Netflix cartoon, while also including sets such as the Quintesson Pit of Judgement and the Haslab crowdfunded Unicron.  In retrospect, each of the three waves of the “Netflix” toys was made to augment one third of the trilogy, and we can see how over time how the idea of giving every character a rank insignia diminished over time.  There’ll be more on that when I post the dedicated chart for Kingdom.

Exclusions: After Siege concluded, Generations Selects stopped branding its toys as being part of a particular trilogy segment: on paper, this means there are no Earthrise or Kingdom Selects toys, but in practice, it’s obvious which toys are designed to augment which toylines.  As a result, Selects toys are covered as part of their relative instalment of the trilogy.  Similarly, a handful of Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys are co-branded as being part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy, but as none of them appear to include an insignia, I have elected not to list them on the chart.

Consistency: As the importance of rank insignias is gradually de-emphasised, we’re finding more and more that each character’s rank is tied to elements of that particular mold’s packaging graphic design.  All non-erroneous ranked characters on the chart above who have previously received a rank in Siege or Earthrise remain consistent with those earlier ranks.  That previous sentence is specifically worded owing to things like Rung not being ranked in Trilogy but being ranked in Siege and Earthrise, or Nemesis Prime being erroneously and inconsistently ranked in Trilogy compared to his previous (also incorrect) Siege listing.

Adjudication: This consistency in ranking previously allowed us to decide which of two insignia options was correct for Wheeljack on the Earthrise heirarchy.

Identification: If we combine the notions that ranks a) are assigned with increased hesitation the further we get into the Trilogy and b) are tied to the packaging graphic design of a particular mold, we can discern that the Sparkless Bot and Sparkless Seeker are apparently intended to be zombified versions of their moldmates Barricade and Thundercracker respectively, or at least held equivalent ranks in life.  Similarly, Deep Cover is assigned the same rank as his moldmate Sideswipe, after he failed to receive one during Selects/Earthrise.

Errata: Unfortunately, tying the insignia to the graphic design has resulted in a few inconsistencies and errors.  Scrapface’s box gives him the original rank of Ground Infantry Private, but his instructions incorrectly call him a Ground Espionage Private – this being the rank shared by his moldmates Refraktor, Viewfinder, Spectro, and Spyglass.  Hotlink has a similar error, with the box placing the scientist as an Air Applied Sciences Private; however, instead of being tied to that mold, Hotlink’s erroneous rank is presumably a result of his instructions being developed alongside those of his wavemate Megatron – meaning they place him as a co-general of the entire Decepticon army.

Localisation: I’ve mentioned before, in comedically overstated fashion, that TakaraTomy releases seem to regard the rank insignias as nothing more than fancy decoration, resulting in Siege Nemesis Prime being at the head of the Autobots.  TakaraTomy also elected to release Hasbro’s blindboxed “Spoiler Pack” toys in standard window-box packaging.  The rear side of these newly-designed boxes copy and pastes the Autobot Ground Infantry Private insignia next to Ultra Magnus (but not Battlefield Rung), Nemesis Prime, Fangtron, and Giza.

Future developments: At present, it is unknown if the Japanese release of Megatron and Skelivore will follow the pattern and assign them a rank at random.  Additionally, the Covert Agent Ravage / Decepticons Forever Ravage set has not yet been released in Western markets – it does not appear to feature any insignia, but I will carry out further research in due course.  Apart from these two releases, I consider the above charts complete. UPDATE: Ravage features no insignia, and since this chart was created, the Behold, Galvatron! Unicron Companion Pack was announced and released.  Both have now been added.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The toy released as “Decepticon Mirage” holds the same rank as he did in Siege – i.e. a Ground Special Ops Sergeant for the Autobots.  In advance of the War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon making it a holographic disguise plot point, it was fairly commonly believed that this toy represented Mirage as a genuine turncoat... despite the fact that the toy’s first announcement called him “Decepticon Disguise Mirage”.

Stay tuned for more updates as the War for Cybertron Trilogy closes out with Kingdom, and read more about these insignias on my blog under the tag #WFC rank project.
