Americon's purpose within the Decepticons is to help them better understand American culture and help facilitate information warfare against the USA. Rebuilt and re-educated, Americon is now capable of actually fulfilling that function to at least some degree. However, while he has never shown signs of disloyalty, his odd, American-centric behavior can still be disconcerting to the other Decepticons. Now a triple-changer, Americon has twin blasters in robot mode, a sharp beak and talons in bald eagle mode, and a teeny little zapper in tape mode. Americon is far from the best fighter the Decepticons have, but he has numerous redundant systems which allow him to continue fighting despite enormous damage.
