Profile: Combat was always the only option for Stranglehold, whose strength far outweighed his intelligence. He started off as a gladiator, pounding and wrestling his opponents into submission with a brutality that was exceeded only by Megatron. Stranglehold had no problem using illegal techniques to win and would continue to mercilessly bash his victims long after the match was over. These tactics got him ejected from most arenas and forced him to turn to other means to earn a living. He bounces around as a criminal enforcer and was eventually glad to sign up for service with the Decepticons, the only group that would willingly help him quench his thirst for inflicting pain on others. No one would ever accuse Stranglehold of being a great thinker, but they can't deny he's a great fighter. Stranglehold has even developed a type of camaraderie and loyalty with his fellow Decepticons Octopunch and Bludgeon.
Abilities: Subject possesses immense strength and physical endurance. He is a skilled warrior specializing in hand-to-hand combat; his immobilizing wrestling techniques are unmatched amongst most Transformers. The subject is armed with a brawn blaster that diminishes targets' power reserves, making them even easier prey. He is also armed with a concussion blaster. In rhino mode, his charge is practically unstoppable, allowing him to topple entire city blocks without being slowed down.
Weaknesses: Although the subject is a physical powerhouse, he is mentally plodding. Outside of fast thinking in hand-to-hand combat, he barely exhibits any intellectual prowess.
