Meet the Decepticon Earth Recon squadron!
Airdrop (he/him) While I've talked about him before a little, Airdrop is a shuttle-class 'con (on the smaller side) whose job on this mission is to hunt down and eliminate Depthworks, rescue any stray mini-cons, and bring them back to home base just outside Cybertron. He used to be a more front-lines fighter until his leg got blown off in an irreparable way, forcing him to wear his prosthetic and get demoted to rimworld duties. He despises Megatron for this decision, but still just follows orders. He doesn't like to be the brains of any operation.
Bangsnap - owned by @mycelian-network (they/them) Who let this child join up with the seekers? Okay, for real, Bangsnap is an apprentice seeker who's been assigned to Earth as a "test drive" mission to prove their abilities in reconnaissance and combat. Starscream is their official mentor, but Airdrop is much more of a proper guardian figure. However... shortly after landing and taking a new alt mode, they were compromised by Depthworks and Euphoria, stranding them on the planet with no clear way to get back to the abandoned satellite their squad is inhabiting.
Starscream (any pronouns, just don't refer to him really) Well, what more is there to say? Pompous, arrogant, and thoroughly disgusted by Earthlings, the Air Commander despises this assignment. He's basically being held at arm's length by Megatron to try and thwart any assassination attempts for a few quartexes. Despite his frustration with the situation at hand, he'll try to see the job done, using his two "underlings" to canvas this dirtball of a planet for any viable resources and defected 'cons. And perhaps find a way to usurp the general's place while he's at it...
