Afterburner is a Mercenary from the Cyberverse continuity family.

I'm not the other blue conehead, trust me.

According to his Mercenary colleague Bug Bite, Afterburner is nothing but a useless, crummy Conehead.

Fiction

Cyberverse cartoon

Voice actor: Rich Orlow (English)

After they froze Cybertron in time, Afterburner landed with the rest of Trypticon’s crew to loot and destroy the planet. As he left the ship, he flew into Bug Bite, earning an insult and nearly coming to blows. They were interrupted by Doublecrosser nearly running them over in the hovering vehicle they were driving.. When Soundblaster froze Arcee, Afterburner picked her up, depositing her at the top of a pile of other time locked Cybertronians. The crew was attacked by Grimlock and the other Dinobots, who were forced to retreat when Soundblaster turned the Time Blaster on them. They arrived at the signing of the Treaty of the Wallpeace treaty and began to pick the place clean. When Soundblaster unfroze Soundwave’s head to carry out his revenge, Afterburner and Doublecrosser dragged him along, and both questioned who Soundwave was. When Volcanicus attacked, the Mercenaries surrounded the combiner, attacking from all sides. When Laserbeak stole the Time Blaster, Soundblaster ordered an all-out attack. The Mercenaries armed themselves, and Afterburner was grabbed out of the sky by Volcanicus, who imprisoned the Mercenaries inside their own trailer, which they had filled with loot. When Soundblaster called for Trypticon’s help, he fired his entire crew. During Trypticon’s battle with Volcanicus, a stray tail swipe destroyed their confinement, and the Mercenaries fled Cybertron in their ship, happy to be free of Trypticon’s employ. The Immobilizers

Notes

• Afterburner is visually based on the Generation 2 Decepticon of the same name.
• Like most of the other Cyberverse Mercenaries, Afterburner's model is a recolour of an existing design; in his case, he uses the conehead Seeker model used for Ramjet and Dirge.
