- Front-Line is anAutobotfrom theTransformers Universeportion of theAligned continuity family.
Before the war,Front-Linewas a vigilante known for getting to the scene of a crime first, crashing through the gates and smashing together criminal heads. Bad guys that met him were more likely headed to a scrap pile or a critical med bay than to a jail cell. Now he puts all that combat skill and power to work as an Autobot close combat specialist, annihilating Decepticons close up and personal on the front line of the battlefield.[1]
