Description Last batch of SCIENCE related portraits. These would be the assistants/henchmen that work for the Decepticon scientists.

Most of their color schemes are drastically different from their official counterparts because of the photos of actual vehicles that I used for reference and their coloration.

I'd like to thank for providing people with some of the wonderful technical drawings that I used for reference.
______________________________

Bug Bite – Brilliant yet amoral, Bug Bite is an assistant scientist under the employ of Ministry member Shockwave. Bug Bite’s knack for reverse-engineering technology has earned him a place at Shockwave’s side within the Decepticon ranks. While not a native of Cybertron, his race’s physiology, ability to transform, and home planet are very similar to that of Cybertronians. After his planet was destroyed by the civil war, Bug Bite fled to Cybertron before it too became consumed by its own Great War.

Rumored to have survived a beheading at the hands of Megatron
Enraged that Deluge was promoted rather than him
Boosters in feet allow for limited flight in robot mode
Alternate Mode: 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse SE


Lugnut – Even though Lugnut doesn’t do much thinking or planning, he doesn’t mind. Lugnut has so much faith in Megatron’s leadership that he will follow any of his orders without question. Renowned throughout Cybertron as one of the most destructive fighters for the Decepticon cause, Lugnut’s immense size, strength, endurance, and powerful armaments make him an unstoppable force on the battlefield. His methods are crude, but he gets the job done as Shockwave’s enforcer.

Was known as the “Kaon Krusher” on Cybertron
Despises Thunderwing’s insolence and finds an unlikely ally in his fellow loyalist, Shockwave
Gravity Generators built into his hand can cause massive point singularity explosions
Alternate Mode: Boeing B-52 Stratofortress


Slipstream – Well known for her sarcasm and vicious insults, Slipstream was part of the elite Seeker force that once served aboard the Nemesis prior to their disbandment. Lacking any sort of respect for Starscream, her superior, she was eventually left deserted on Junkion after she sustained injuries in a battle with Optimus Prime. When she finally managed to recuperate and return to the Nemesis months later, she was reassigned to serve the egotistical Deluge in the Ministry, much to her chagrin.

Believed that Seekers should have stuck together as a single, cohesive unit
Is said to have once worked for the fabled Overlord prior to joining the Seekers
Was a talented chemist that was involved in Project: Rainmaker
Alternate Mode: Sukhoi Su-47 (S-37 Berkut)


Bomb-Burst – Predatory by nature, Bomb-Burst is Thunderwing’s top assassin. He works alone at night, silently hunting down anyone that Thunderwing has deemed far too troublesome. When Bomb-Burst strikes, he snatches his victims away and carries them off into the shadows where he drains them of energon. Sometimes the remains of the unfortunate target are found the next morning; sometimes they simply vanish, never to be seen again. He is never satisfied and always craves more energon and oil.

Optics are very sensitive to light, making it easy to blind him
Caustic chemicals allow him to penetrate a victim’s armor
Has trouble relating to other Decepticons due to his monstrous nature
Alternate Mode: Chengdu J-20


Skullgrin – Cold, intelligent, selfish, and methodical, Skullgrin has taken an interest in learning about Earth and what it has to offer him in terms of natural resources and expendable slave labor, in the form of humans. He tends to put his own interests before the Decepticon cause and is not ashamed of retreating to fight another day. Quick to anger, Skullgrin will turn into an uncontrollable, homicidal maniac when he is overcome with rage. Thunderwing sometimes has to rely on his troops to rein him in.

Dreads the consequences of combining “polydermal grafting” with the “Dream Bridge”
Ground bone matter collected from his conquests is used to adorn his face
Centuries-old legends of a demon named Dauros are derived from his previous visit to Earth
Alternate Mode: K2 Black Panther


Lyzack – As the younger Sister of Leozack, the legendary commander of Team Kaiser, Lyzack longs to be as skilled as her brother in battle. Though they are twins, Lyzack was not built to be a warrior, lacking the durability and strength that her brother possesses. It troubles Lyzack that she was designed and programmed to serve as a data clerk prior to the outbreak of the Great War. Serving as Jhiaxus’ personal assistant within the Ministry, Lyzack takes care of his administrative work and manages his funding.

Surprisingly skilled with a sword and should not be taken lightly
Unusually docile, cheerful, and soft-spoken for a Decepticon
Not too keen on Jhiaxus’ nightmarish experiments, but is honored that she is his confidant
Alternate Mode: Cybertronian Jet
