This is a list of characters from the 2004 anime series Transformers: Energon.

Principal characters from Transformers: Energon.

Autobots

Optimus Prime (Grand Convoy)

Voiced by: Garry Chalk

Leader of the Autobots. Although peacetime had afforded Prime the opportunity to train his own elite squadron of Autobots, teaching the martial art of Kumite.[1] He transforms into tractor trailer. He combines with fire truck, helicopter, drill tank and submarine to form Optimus Prime Super Mode, he can combine with Wing Saber to form Optimus Prime Sonic Wing Mode and with Omega Supreme to form Optimus Supreme.

Jetfire

Voiced by: Scott McNeil

Jetfire can be relied on for consistency - he's much the same as he ever was, cracking wise on and off the battlefield, but unwaveringly serious in his duties despite any outward appearance to the contrary. He transforms into a spacecraft, and although he can no longer Powerlink with Optimus Prime, he now also possesses the Spark of Combination, allowing him to link up with other Transformers, most commonly Ironhide. During the battle against Unicron, Jetfire was evolved into a more powerful form by Primus (while both versions of the series continue to use his original names, the Japanese renamed the toy Skyfire Sonic or Skyfire S, while the Americans released it as a different character named Overcast).

Hot Shot

Inferno/Roadblock

Voiced by: Michael Daingerfield

An Autobot that works for Optimus Prime. Megatron later corrupted him on Iron Planet. After sacrificing his life to save Starscream from being destroyed by the Energon Sun where Unicron's head is, Inferno's spark was salvaged and he was reborn as Roadblock. He transforms into fire truck as Inferno and into crane truck as Roadblock.

Ironhide(Roadbuster)

Voiced by: Matt Hill

Ironhide is the new young bot on Team Prime who looks up to Hot Shot. He is eventually able to powerlink with Jetfire and has developed a relationship with Scorponok.

Rodimus(Rodimus Convoy)

Voiced by: Paul Dobson

Rodimus is another Autobot leader with a different philosophy from Optimus, which put the two at odds. The former wanted to recreate Alpha Q's solar system at any cost, but after he learned it was a bad idea, he became Optimus Prime's right-hand. He transforms into cybertronian race truck.

An Autobot prison guard who was on duty when Shockblast escaped, and who attempted to recapture him with his partner Padlock only for the Decepticon to murder his fellow Autobot. Wing Dagger became determined to bring Shockblast to justice but was critically injured in a subsequent encounter; as a result, he was rebuilt into the larger, more powerful Wing Saber and given the ability to combine with Optimus Prime.

Primus

Cybertron's spark. His physical body is later seen in Cybertron.

Unicron

Voiced by: Mark Acheson

Primus' evil brother who survived the end of Armada, but it took blowing up a planet inside him to destroy him. Megatron and Alpha Q later rebuilt him for their own reasons, but Optimus Supreme later destroyed him for good. A piece of Unicron's mind combined with Megatron's mind, while Unicron's antispark floated somewhere in space. When Galvatron used Super Energon to supersize himself, Unicron controlled him remotely until Optimus Prime fused the piece of his mind with the combination spark. Galvatron then attempted to destroy the antispark, only to get possessed. He then threw himself into a protostar made of Super Energon, which turned it into a new sun for Alpha Q's planets. But in Cybertron, the sun turned into a black hole that wanted to eat the universe.
