Tarn - IDW

Personality:   Other than being the leader of the D.J.D., he believes himself to be a bureaucrat, and loyal to the Decepticon cause. Tarn is an eloquent Decepticon. He enjoys nothing more than playing beautiful music as he waxes poetic quoting Towards Peace and other philosophical works by Megatron . He tends to indulge these pleasures at the same time he's using his specially modulated vocal processor to cause the Decepticon Justice Division's latest transgressor's spark to self-destruct. The leader of the D.J.D., Tarn epitomizes the mentality of the team. He is beyond zealous in his devotion to Megatron's cause, going so far as to emboss the Decepticon insignia onto his own faceplate. No traitor, no coward is capable of escaping his team. Despite appearances, Tarn is a mess of contradictions. Viewing himself as the central pillar of the D.J.D., he can be as brutally violent as any other Decepticon, but views himself as a bureaucrat and his team as his administration. He believes his actions are entirely justified, yet sometimes his thoughts are a constant stream of self-denigration. He works hard to run a tight but fair ship, and is not above taking in an open-minded, needy stray. On the other hand, for all his thoughts of sophistication and control, Tarn can go from affable to life-threatening at the least provocation. His addictive tendencies have led to him burning out his original transformation cog years ago, and his reliance on the power-enhancing Nuke can lead to his losing himself to the lust for violence. And have no doubt that while he may try and convince himself otherwise, Tarn is a truly sociopathic murderer. Ultimately whether Tarn is a monster or not is irrelevant. His utter devotion to the Decepticon cause means he will ensure the fear of Megatron is put into any that would consider abandoning their noble goals. He’s a dark-purple Cybertronian able to transform into a tank. Typically wears a mask that resembles the Decepticon insignia, and rarely ever takes it off, as the right side of his faceplate is badly scarred. Tarn's every action is in service to the Decepticon cause, even after Megatron renounced it and defected to the Autobots. For all of Tarn's seeming charm and affability, at heart he is a bureaucratic, spitefully cruel madman, desperate to see himself as far more important than he actually is. In short, Tarn is a brutal murderer armed with literature and has an unwavering devotion to the Decepticon cause. No traitor, no coward can escape from his hand of justice. You can run, but you can't hide.
