Description
Originally a Cybertronian commander, Metalhawk led an away team tasked with safeguarding a fragment of the AllSpark on the colony world Archon. Pursuing Decepticon Pretenders to Neolithic Earth, his team crash-landed. Utilizing their Pretender abilities, they adopted human guises, shrinking to human size and blending into early human society, distinct from the monstrous forms chosen by Decepticons Blood, Dauros, and Gilmer. After sealing these adversaries within ancient Earth sites, Metalhawk and his team remained to subtly guide human development.
By the modern era, Metalhawk operated under the alias "Hawk," working as an astrophysicist at an observatory managed by Professor Gō. He forged a close bond with the professor, revealing his true nature, and became a role model to the professor's son, Shūta. His Pretender shell enabled him to maintain a fully human appearance and lifestyle outside of combat.
When Devil Z revived the Decepticon Pretenders, Metalhawk resumed command of Earth's Autobot forces. He received Transtectors from off-world Autobots, intended for human Headmaster Juniors, though three were stolen en route by Decepticons. Following Professor Gō's death during a Decepticon assault, Metalhawk relocated the Autobots to a fortified base, with Shūta inheriting a key. He mentored the new Headmaster Juniors—Shūta, Cab, and Minerva—prioritizing human protection over direct confrontation.
Metalhawk initially commanded the Autobots but later yielded leadership to Ginrai upon recruiting the Godmasters, acknowledging the need for fresh strategy. He continued active participation in missions, including battles against Decepticon Godmasters Hydra and Buster, where his signature "Shining Arrow" attack proved tactically effective. He appeared at the inauguration of Dai Atlas as the new Autobot Supreme Commander after Devil Z's defeat.
Expanded media depicted Metalhawk as a member of the Cybertronian Elite Guard's Strike Team before his Earth mission. During a conflict involving the Combaticons' betrayal and their Bruticus combined form, he was killed by Onslaught.
His capabilities included transformation into a supersonic jet capable of Earth-Moon transit in fifteen minutes. In robot mode, he wielded a Titanium Saber and executed the "Shining Arrow" technique by leaping skyward to rain energy bolts upon enemies. His technical specifications consistently emphasized exceptional speed, intelligence, courage, and leadership rank.
