Bio: Charcoal is one of the last generation of Autobot Warriors to be sparked from the AllSpark, as a result of the spark bond between Allonus, and the Kentonian Medic, Slipspace. After years of training, this curious femme has been turned into a sleek warrior, she is still curious which can be more of a hindrance than help in most cases. Charcoal, like the rest of Transformers, abandoned Cybertron long after it went dark. She remained behind for a while, helping her blind Insecticon friend, Darkshock, who could somehow predict certain upcoming events.

At his insistance, on his deathbed, Charcoal left him and Cybertron. The young femme accidentally crashed into a Soviet Union Airbase, alerting the military to her presence. Charcoal had no choice but to take on the nearest aircraft she could find, the Sukhoi Su 37, and send out a distress signal to Optimus Prime.

Unfortunately for her, Starscream, who was a rogue agent at the time, was the first to arrive. Seeing she was a fellow Seeker, Starscream tried to offer a team up but Charcoal stood up to him and managed to fight him off, but ultimately almost losing her spark if it was not for the arrival of Team Prime. Charcoal often butted helms with Arcee and Ratchet, who see her as nothing but a useless kid, hence giving Charcoal a relentless ambition of proving herself to be an unforgivable warrior, this ambition caused her to fight and train to the point of near exhaustion.

Despite her arguments with Ratchet and Arcee, Charcoal has attained close friendships with Smokescreen and Bumblebee, who both help her as much as they can. Charcoal feels indifferent to Bulkhead, although he has shown her kindness. Charcoal holds Optimus Prime in the highest regards of respect. She is often frustrated that Optimus refuses to let Charcoal out on field missions due to her vehicle mode being extraordinarily out of place in the US.

Strengths: Charcoal is a brave warrior, who will not give up easily. She is friendly and at times downright resourceful. On the battlefield, whether it's on land in robot mode or flying in her jet mode, Charcoal prefers to use her speed to her advantage, striking the Decepticons hard and fast so they cannot recover from her attacks.

Weakness: Her stubborn nature can often lead her to being over worked and tired out. Charcoal's inquisitive mind can lead to her getting distracted from assignments. Her submachine guns, which use compressed soundwaves, take a while to reload and are prone to jamming frequently. They are rather underpowered as guns, not doing a lot of damage to Decepticon opponents in battles. Charcoal has often refused for Ratchet to upgrade their firepower, preferring to use her swords in combat.
