Scientist of many fields and a soldier, Franklin Cross joined the EDC to bring his talents to bear against the enemies of the human race. While leading others, he prefers a firm but fair stance, and has little patience for hotshots and misfits. Cross does not believe the Cybertronian race is truly alive, and is prone to treating even the Autobots like they are simply destructive machines. Also believes that the rules of war do not apply to the Decepticons and will gladly destroy or vivisect them at any opportunity. Has a strong and commanding presence, but his overbearing nature often causes others to resent him. Pilots the Sophia Class Jump Tank and uses a variety of experimental technologies.
