Well that was an easy vote! Here's TFA Shattered Glass Retroroar!!

There's very little difference between him and his TFP Shattered Glass counterpart, but I'll slap the BIO here anyhow

Name: Retroroar
Species: Cybertronian (Mutant)
Pronouns: He/him
Age: Thousands of years old
Alt-mode: Pathogen spreader (based on a 1959 Cadillac)
Alignment: Autobot
Function: Mechological weapon
Stats
Strength: 7/10
Defense: 6/10
Speed: 6/10
Endurance: 7/10
Courage: 8/10
Firepower: 0/10 (Close combat specialist)
Skill: 6/10

Backstory:

Early in the war Retroroar fell ill with an unknown virus, this event revealed he had a mutations both to his internal defence systems as well as his very mechanical make up. His system would absorb the viruses instead of repelling and nullifying them, forcing them to become a part of himself and his CNA. Optimus was the one who took him into the Autobots and made sure he was taken care off so they could study his mutations. After that event Retroroar was put through several experiments where he was purposefully infected with more and more viruses, and over and over again he absorbed them and mutated further. Now he's the Autobot's own walking talking mechological weapon.

Retroroar may not be very physically strong, but he's sneaky and will not hesitate to infect you if he has the chance, leading to most Autbotos to respect him by that alone. Ever since Optimus saved Retroroar he has been incredibly loyal and devoted to the Autobot leader, and eventually grew romantic feelings for him. Now the two are romantically involved and got two sons together; Boom Mane and Spout (Geyser when grown up).
Personality:
• Impish
• Sporadic mood
• Incredibly loyal to Optimus (and very clingy to him too)
• Boisterous
• A disaster
• Playful
• Easily provoked
• Easily excited
Abilities:
• Virus aspect & Mutation
Retro may look fairly normal, but in fact he's completely mutated by countless viruses. His body has the ability to warp, split open, and mutate further periodically at will (think The Thing and Resident Evil body horror but mechanical). At this point he's immune to the fatal effect of all known viruses to infect Cybertronians, he has survived even the Galactic Rust and Cybonic Plague.

- His arms are tubes containing infected Energon. If he's able to pierce the plating of another mechanical (Cybertronian and non-Cybertronian) he'll immediately infect the target with a cocktail of known and "home made" viruses and cause a rapid deterioration of the victim; few has ever survived such an infection.

- One of his most destructive tactics is simply referred to as "infestation". Retroroar enters the targeted facility, often smaller Decepticon bases with lower security, and roots himself at a hidden place, allowing his own body to merge with the construction and spread an infection into the metal itself (It's similar to how fungi can overtake plants and trees). If left to complete the infestation he will leave behind a horrible mess of infected metal which sprouts into morphed, nasty, metallic growths and releases spore-like virus capsules.

• Data manipulation
Retro is able to access and alter data found within non-sentient consoles and networks. If connected to a sentient being by his needle he's able to periodically shut down firewalls to more easily infect his victims.

• Ice manipulation
Retro can freeze the air around him as well as shoot and breathe ice projectiles. He can also deliver a freezing bite with his fangs.

Likes:
• Be with Optimus and his family
• Glistering stuff
• Scare people
• Chew on things
• Warmth
• Fuel
• The fact no other Autobot dares to hurt him because he's Optimus' mate
Theme songs:

"Opinions" - CG5
"Neurotoxin" - Sakuzyo
"Destroid 8 Annihilate" - Excision & Far Too Loud

Misc:
• His arms are based on myoviridae.
