One of the few Autobots
left behind on Cybertron after the evacuation, Downshift has been
assigned by Optimus Prime to guard the entrances to the shafts leading
to the Energon core of the planet in the city of Iacon. A loner
by nature, and a veteran of many tough, secret missions throughout
the galaxy, Downshift is perfectly at home on the desolate and damaged
planet.
