Team Prime’s armorer and most experienced soldier, Ironhide is a fighter to his core. Nothing holds him back from taking on whatever the ‘Cons throw at him. Even Combiners on his own (yes, that happened). His bravery and resilience make him one of Optimus’ closest allies as well as a friend. To the others it’s different. While he is a fair and well-meaning mech who they could get along with, he can be a bit of an obnoxious hard-ass too. He gets a kick out of hazing the younger bots. Sometimes he takes it too far and earned a punch to the face from Arcee once. He backs off whenever Optimus is around and steps in. Really, he does it to keep them sharp. They are still soldiers, whether he likes it or not.
If he’s not busting 'Cons or hassling the others then he is in his armory tinkering with his cannons or doing maintenance checks on everyone’s weapons. He hates working in silence so he will drag anyone nearby and chat with them. If they’re bringing in something to work on he’ll make them stay too. Anything to keep his mind from wandering, or worrying about where Chromia is.

Team Prime’s acting medic, Red Alert, and her Mini-Con assistant, Jolt!
No one on the team has ever seen Red Alert smile. Ever. She thinks and acts solely through the lens of logic and caution, always stone-faced while tending to her tasks with upmost seriousness. Throughout the day (and nights), she keeps herself busy by reviewing databanks, equipment, and hounding her teammates for diagnostic checkups. Mistaking her for a drone wouldn’t be surprising, until you were a victim of her scolding or heard her snapping back at Arcee’s sass. She doesn’t mince her words whatsoever and can be pretty harsh, even to Optimus, but she’s just jaded after years as a combat medic watching too many bots die under her care.
Jolt on the other hand is more chill and chattier compared to her senior. Now, don’t get her wrong. She takes her medical work seriously but she’d rather not be an uptight crouch about it. With Red Alert as detached as she is, Jolt takes it upon herself to lend a shoulder and be an emotional anchor for her teammates. And has a personal mission to make her friend smile and live a little. She might be small, but being a Mini-Con has its advantages in making precise repairs or navigating tight spaces. She’s also a bit of a “jack-of-all-trades” on base. Bring her anything and she’ll have it fixed in half a day… maybe. Her main specialty is in electrical work, both in maintenance and in medical operations with module systems and circuitry.
The two met when Jolt's engineering team were being retrained into medics and Red Alert was their instructor. Back then the Heli-Bot had just lost her hand and couldn't properly transform, making her more harsh and irate. The other trainees loathed her, but Jolt felt bad and wanted to help her in some way. She started talking to her and very gradually chipped her walls down to a point where they got along. Then during a lecture on limb repair, Jolt got an idea. By using her ingenuity along with the medical skills she learned, they converted Red Alert's arm into an Interlink Multi-Tool but far more versatile. Red Alert was grateful and took Jolt on as her assistant and the two have been inseparable ever since.

Final member of Team Prime in my AU, Hot Rod.
What Hot Rod lacks in experience he makes up for in both skill and wits. Qualities he learned in the Cybertron Elite Guard where he was praised as a matchless prodigy, and he feels self-obliged to fulfill that potential. That grit along with his talents landed him in Team Prime as one of his top lieutenants. As a highly trained combatant and a sharpshooting archer with his energon bow, Hot Rod knows he’s one of Optimus’ best fighters, if not his most important soldier. Especially here on Earth.
Except, Prime has serious doubts about him and he worries Hot Rod’s rapid trajectory up the Autobot ranks has gotten to his head. While an exceptional fighter whose eager lead, Hot Rod has shown himself in the past far too reckless and impatient to warrant him being a commander. He possesses a fixation at achieving victory at all costs, even at the expense of his fellow Autobots or himself. This stubbornness and lack of humility leads to Hot Rod fighting with pure arrogance and Optimus fears for his well-being.
battle ready
