Oedipus
Prime- The fearless leader and mentor of the group. His steadfast
leadership has gotten them through many difficult situations. In
semi retirement, he sometimes lets the rest of the team handle the task
at hand, choosing to monitor their actions back at Ultra Mega HQ.
AmpTron-
Second in command. Eager to combat the forces of evil, but not always
the most competent when it comes to doing so. His armor contains
an array of hidden gadgets, many of which he is unaware of or has simply
forgotten about...
Crank
Shaft- That friend everyone has who's kind of a jerk but whom you know
is a good guy deep down inside... somewhere... probably. He is often
more concerned with commercialization than fighting evil and seeks the
potential profit involved with being a super hero. Slightly obnoxious,
occasionally rude, and morally flexible, but ultimately, on the side of
good.
DrX-L-The
inventor and technician of the group. He is always repairing the
others and creating devices for the intended betterment of the galaxy.
His efforts have met with varying degrees of success however, and he once
accidentally chopped an alien planet in half while testing a powerful cutting
ray.
Eric-
The fifth and final member of the group. May have more common sense
than the rest of them put together. Cynical and quick to point out
problems and flaws in others' reasoning, Eric is the social conscience
and an integral part of the team.
