In contrast to Jetstorm's boisterous arrogance, Obsidian is distinguished by an unsettling calm. He speaks little, expresses no visible emotion, and acts with almost surgical precision. Every move is measured, every attack calculated.
Obsidian does not fight for pleasure or out of apparent sadism, but out of absolute duty to Megatron and his new mechanized order. He represents the perfect embodiment of the program-soldier, a machine serving a totalitarian vision.
His constant silence reinforces his aura of menace, making him even more terrifying to the last Maximals trying to survive on Cybertron.
