Oddly Obsidian's tech specs have little or nothing to do with the character as seen on the show, instead being described as a simple drone-general attaché.

His biography indicates that he provide air support for Vehicon Tank-Drones, but oddly portrayed him as made to be a fairly mindless air-attack unit by Megatron, which contradicted his show history as a Cybertronian General.

The appearance of Obsidian is based on concept art provided to Hasbro by Draxhall Jump Studios, designed by artist Marvin Mariano.
