Railroad Mini-Con Team
Name: Railgun
Faction: Decepticon (Minicon)
Appearance: Other than the artillery cannon being part of the left arm, no specific robot appearance in mind. So however the alt mode below would look as a robot.
Alt mode: Armored train engine and railway gun mix. Primarily like this:

but with the artillery piece on this train car added to its front.

Weapons: An artillery cannon, though at his size it is more like a hand cannon.
Abilities: Heavily armored, Railgun can survive one blast per battle that would otherwise obliterate one of his kin. Generally durable and strong for his size; typically once in motion it can be difficult to stop, even for him.
Bio: Built long ago with the rest of the Mini-Cons to help build and perform tasks their larger relatives were unable to do. Railgun in particular was to help transport smaller components in dangerous areas to keep the cargo and other workers safe. With the onset of the war, he was captured and reconfigured to fight for the Decepticon cause, but vanished one day along with the rest of his team while on a scouting mission. As one day learned, he was captured by the Vex, but for reasons unknown to them. Perhaps they thought the arena could use some rats to clean up the scraps of battle. Whatever is the case, as leader of the team, Railgun will do what he can to protect his compatriots and get back home.
Name: Tie-Grabber
Faction: Decepticon (Minicon)
Appearance: Right arm is mostly composed of the crane, everything else up to interpretation based on alt mode below.
Alt mode: A railway crane https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Spr64.jpg
Weapons: Crane/tow cable and hook. It can be altered to that the crane arm and hook become solid and act more like a railway plough.
Abilities: Has a good eye for objects he can grab/break to hinder anyone chasing them.
Bio: Built long ago with the rest of the Mini-Cons to help build and perform tasks their larger relatives were unable to do. Tie-Grabber’s purpose was to help maintain railways and roads, moving obstructions and other construction tasks. With the onset of the war, he was captured and reconfigured to fight for the Decepticon cause. With his knowledge of traffic flow and transportation, he had a knack of now creating obstructions and/or otherwise making the pathways to follow after them impractical. Several smaller routes faced his sabotage and hindered many smaller bots on the Autobot side. Though he vanished one day along with the rest of his team while on a scouting mission. As one day learned, he was captured by the Vex, but for reasons unknown to them. Perhaps they thought the arena could use some rats to clean up the scraps of battle. Whatever is the case, if they thought they could get their fifthly hands on them again, Tie-Grabber plans on showing them the error of their ways.
Name: Machbreaker
Faction: Decepticon (Minicon)
Appearance: Probably would end up looking similar to Grindor, sssooooo
Alt mode: Rocket Sled, the Sonic Window No. 1 mostly:

Weapons: The closest to weaponry he has as his rocket feet, which could be used as makeshift flamethrowers.
Abilities: Machbreaker is incredibly fast and can keep pace with several of the larger jetfighter bots. However, his extreme speed comes with terrible handling and can’t really turn without coming to a stop first. In robot mode, his rocket feet allow him to hover, though he can’t quite fly with them.
Bio: Built long ago with the rest of the Mini-Cons to help build and perform tasks their larger relatives were unable to do. Machbreaker’s purpose was to test the durability of smaller components and new inventions to extreme forces. With the onset of the war, he was captured and reconfigured to fight for the Decepticon cause. Due to his speeds and small size, he was primarily used as a scout and reported on Autobot troop movements. He was eventually placed on a team with Railgun and Tie-Grabber for a particularly troublesome mission and the trio never returned. As one day learned, he was captured by the Vex, but for reasons unknown to them. Perhaps they thought the arena could use some rats to clean up the scraps of battle. Whatever is the case, if Machbreaker can have it so that they avoid major fights, and death, he will do so. However, with the new Predacon, it seems his brothers wish to join him in revolution. He is against the idea, but will still assist as need as long as it helps them find a way out.
Combiner: Together, the team can combine into Scuttle, an armored space shuttle. The shuttle has one turreted cannon on its underside and a retractable robotic arm on the top.
