Description This is one of two generic characters part of the Omnibots in my version of the live action continuity the other being Deadguy, the Omnibots are a group of disciplined but average Autobot soldiers who are lead by the Omnibot leader Skids (not proper ROTF Skids, this one is based on the G1 Skids, ROTF Skids is renamed into Knockout aka the green motorcycle Autobot from the toyline, although their head-design and personality is changed same with Mudflap), they are not particularly noteworthy characters in the "film" but serve as generic non-Autotrooper/Protectobot characters to give the Decepticons some kills.

IRL wise, I made up these Omnibots to reuse the Age of Extinction Trax design since AOE and TLK would not exist as films (it would be the original trilogy with DOTM being split into 2 movies, so 4 total), I thought the Trax would fit well as Autobot designs since Chevrolet has a lot of Transformers in these films as is as Autobots, all Omnibots have uniform designs with only their heads, colors and voice setting them apart, all transform into a Chevrolet Trax (realistically in the hypothetical film probably a 2008-2009 model compared to the 2014-ish design used in the image here)

The other members of the Omnibots consist of Camshaft, Downshift, Overdrive, Deadguy and at the start of the film the Twins Knock-Out/Mudflap are assigned to the group (which is why they change their vehicle mode from the Ice Cream truck to their proper car modes, which kinda fit the Omnibot Trax uniform look but make them standout, their young recruits anyways so they aren't ready for the full Omnibot retrofit)

Cannonfodder is a pretty generic character with their defining trait being the one female member of the Omnibots as well as their communication specialist, while she outlives fellow Omnibot Deadguy she too meets her demise on the Jungle mission I mention in Bluestreak's page, Cannonfodder is the second to die once the Autobot squad is ambushed from behind by a barrage of firepower, she is the farthest from cover to protect herself on both sides which leads to her getting shot up. 

Cannonfodder is based on the generic Autobot of the same name from the IDW DOTM Foundation comics tfwiki.net/wiki/Cannonfodder

Body design is the KSI-Trax from AOE, the head design is concept art from the Bumblebee film on the generic Autobot soldiers, I noticed a similarity between the color schemes of the two generic head-concepts shown with the ones both Deadguy and Cannonfodder have, hence me using them instead of ones closer to the original comic.
