Hydra was a talented actor in his home country of East Germany, but apparently celluloid stardom wasn't exciting enough for this burgeoning young sociopath. Hydra became involved with the American criminal underworld, using his talent for disguise to become an assassin who was soon regarded as one of the best in the business. Cold, uncaring, and extreme in his methods, Hydra already considered himself above most other people, so when the Decepticons arrived on the scene and offered him even greater power, he happily seized upon the opportunity.<br /> <br /> As a Godmaster, Hydra is bonded to a Transtector from the G Nebula and can manipulate Chōkon Power, with his specialty being the control of lightning. He and his younger brother Buster can merge their Transtectors into the giant jet Darkwings. Hydra truly believes that the Decepticons should rule mankind, and is willing even to sacrifice his own humanity to help them accomplish that goal.<br /> <br /> (Source: TF Wiki)<br /><br />
