Icepick believes that he represents the next generation of Decepticons. According to him, all those not gifted with the ability to combine are obsolete, and should be destroyed. He's willing to start with the Autobots, but he won't hesitate if an older Decepticon strays into his line of fire. Icepick dislikes humans intensely, but with his combiner team destroyed, he is desperate for an effective partnership. Rouge soldier, Sergeant Chaos, more than fits the bill.
