Breakaway (based on RoTF Breakaway, natch)
"What goes up, must come down..."
A veteran of the great war, Breakaway was known as a hot shot pilot, and bravely piloting Autobot vessels through Decepticon blockades and war zones. It was for this reason that he was selected for an early attempt at replicating the Decepticon ability of flight. The project, however, was a complete failure, leaving Breakaway's alternate mode an awkward mess, capable of only limited gliding ability and rudimentary space flight. Due to the project's failure, all data on it was classified, and Breakaway found himself and his excellent record buried in obscurity. The whole incident has left Breakaway morose and depressed, and he gazes on the new Elite Guard recruits, Jetfire and Jetstorm, with envy and regret.
Ox (based on RiD Ironhide)
"A warrior walks softly and hits hard!"
You'd never guess that this young, good ole' boy Autobot from the Energon farm was a trained Cyber Ninja, but he is. Ox is one of the students of Autofire, a former student of Yoketron seeking to revive the Cyber Ninja Corps.' training school. Though he comes from humble beginnings, Ox is one of Autofire's finest students, managing to balance his hard hitting approach to combat with the stealthy skills of a Cyber Ninja. However, he's a bit wide-opticed and naive, making him impressionable and easy to fool. Despite this, he's managed to befriend his fellow recruit Mirage, an Autobot from a wealthier, more prestigious area of Cybertron. Ox has emblazoned his chassis with ancient Cyberglyphic tattoos, thinking they give him a stronger connection to his heritage. His drive train allows him to charge forward with great momentum, and once he gets going, it takes a great deal of opposing force to stop him.

Okay, so, not much to say here, as the influence is obvious. Breakaway's design and character is partially inspired by something a friend came up with, and I'm going to submit it to them to see if it works. Ox is, of course, based on the RiD Spychanger, using the Ratchet/Ironhide bodytype as a basis. There wouldn't be much reason for the cow print on Cybertron, so I had the idea of him having Cyberglyphic tattoos from the movie instead.
