Dread

Dreads are a subspecies of Yautja-like Cybertronians from the planet Cybertron.

Anatomy
Dreads share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, except their robot modes have a Yautja-like motif. They generally transform into police vehicles such as Carbon Motors E7 police cars and Chevrolet Suburban SUVs. Three body-types have been confirmed to exist:
 * Troopers: Humanoid Dreads that occasionally have dreadlock-like appendages resembling tentacles/cables on their backs. Notable Dreads of this body-type include Crowbar and Dreadbot.
 * Enforcers: Humanoid Dreads that are extremely Yautja-like compared to other Dreads. Notable Dreads of this body-type include Crankcase and Berserker.
 * Assaulters: Quadrupedal Dreads that are animalistic in appearance. Notable Dreads of this body-type include Hatchet.

Powers and abilities
Dreads share many of the same abilities as other Cybertronians.

Troopers and Enforcers can deploy weapons from their backs, ranging from explosive spear-like bombs to spike-covered weapons.

Assaulters are quadrupedal, being able to move on all fours.
