Personality/History: Raven was created to fill a gap in the decepticon ranks that was slowly getting on the nerves of the higher ups...namely that they never knew what was going to happen next. With the ability to move ahead of the mainbody, and scout out the areas they where about to attack, he could also warn of enemy troops moving in. However, they learned that the nimble little fighter took his mission a little to serious, and was slightly reluctant to fight in the battle once he found the enemy. They had planned for him to be able to sneak into the enemies rear, and wreak havoc, hence his heavey weapons, but he did not even think so.
This has contioulsy hurt him with those above him, leading to his low rank number. He is rarely given any commands, simply told to go ahead, and figure out what is going on, and if he does not mind, and if it is not to much of a inconvenience, MAYBE attack something.
It is not even that Raven does not like to fight. He simply prefers to strike from ambush, strike hard, and then run like hell. He sees himself as filling a important niche in the decepticons, and not like some of the others, who are simply "grunts," he is a "specialist."

WEAKNESS:Raven has never been taken seriously by many of the "line-grunts," of the decepticons, and even though he is usefull to them, the leadership of the clan tends to ignore him as well. This has lead to a sense of "reverse superiority," with him thinking of those below him as uncultured, untrained, cannon fodder who have no special skills or uses. Of those above him he tends to think that they lack the vision to use his special capabilities, and do not have the tactical/strategic iniative to make use of the inteligence he provides.
In response to all this, Raven tends to dismiss those below him, even if they are right. If a grunt yells "incoming !", raven will not take it seriously until the missiles are almost ontop of him. If a senior decepticon tells him that they think a autobot force is moving up the north valley, he will fly down the north valley anyway on the way to his assignment, until he sees them with his own eyes, at which point he will claim credit for detecting them. He is not openly insubordinate, nor is he totally disregarding towards the grunt ( he realizes that most of them could disasemble him without working up hydraulic pressure ), but the attitude is always there, a kind of "elitism."

CLAN WEAKNESS: STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. All Decepticons are pack fighters. So if all Decepticons must retreat if another Decepticon with a higher rank retreats for any reason.
