Wildwheel from Cyberverse. He was aboard the Ark when it went down, but they couldn't account for him after everyone woke up. Then have him show up much later and reveal his whole side-story. Shatter and Dropkick, just to give us more Decepticons (ooh, maybe have them turn up midway through the...

I can't even remember when I joined (the early 2000s are a bit of a blur for me, what with college and uni and desperately looking for employment), but I'm glad I found this place.
