Of the new troops that came online in the Generation War (as the conflict with the Imperial Cybertronians came to be called), the diminutive Shades is the most unique -- as she was once human. The Decepticon Soundwave tracked the signature of telepathy-capable mind to California, and was astonished to discover a human mind with this ability. When the human in question was mortally injured in the course of an Imperial attack on San Francisco, Soundwve -- out of curiosity more than anything else -- transferred her consciousness into one of the small fast ground-combat forms that were being built by both Autobot and Decepticon alike. As she has no prior history with either faction, she is perhaps the one most likely to continue supporting the shaky alliance between the two -- if she can stay alive long enough. Self-preservation is not her first instinct a lot of the time....
