List of Robots in Transformers Animated - Decepticons - Team Chaar

Team Chaar

A strike force led by Strika, Team Chaar were among the various Decepticon groups that began a campaign to capture a space bridge. Though they succeeded in taking one, the group is ordered to fall back by Megatron who called off the mission. They along with Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Swindle are the remaining uncaptured Decepticons in space. In the comic book "The Stunticon Job", the team has revealed to have been re-organized following Megatron's capture.
