After that, to tie in with his power, he started to call himself Glitch. Before the war, Damus attended the Jhiaxian Academy of Advanced Technology where they possibly attempted to analyze his brain-wave patterns and kept his outlier status hidden from the Senate and Functionist Council.Īt some point, he crossed the Senate and was subjected to empurata: his hands and head replaced to mark him out as someone to shun. His utter devotion to the Decepticon cause means he will ensure the fear of Megatron is put into any that would consider abandoning their noble goals.ĭamus was forged, born an exceptionally powerful Point One Percenter The Permanent Revolution and an outlier who possessed the ability to render non-sentient machinery inoperative by touching it, but with one drawback: the power hurt him every time he used it. Ultimately whether Tarn is a monster or not is irrelevant. And have no doubt that while he may try and convince himself otherwise, Tarn is a truly sociopathic murderer. His addictive tendencies have led to him burning out his original transformation cog years ago, and his reliance on the power-enhancing Nuke can lead to his losing himself to the lust for violence. On the other hand, for all his thoughts of sophistication and control, Tarn can go from affable to life-threatening at the least provocation. He works hard to run a tight but fair ship, and is not above taking in an open-minded, needy stray. He believes his actions are entirely justified, yet sometimes his thoughts are a constant stream of self-denigration. Viewing himself as the central pillar of the D.J.D., he can be as brutally violent as any other Decepticon, but views himself as a bureaucrat and his team as his administration. No traitor, no coward is capable of escaping his team.ĭespite appearances, Tarn is a mess of contradictions. He is beyond zealous in his devotion to Megatron's cause, going so far as to emboss the Decepticon insignia onto his own faceplate. The leader of the D.J.D., Tarn epitomizes the mentality of the team. He tends to indulge these pleasures at the same time he's using his outlier ability to cause the Decepticon Justice Division's latest transgressor's spark to self-destruct. He enjoys nothing more than playing beautiful music as he waxes poetic quoting Towards Peace and other philosophical works by Megatron. Tarn (aka Damus and Glitch) is an eloquent Decepticon.
