Stockade (RID)

Stockade is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! Sun Tzu said that! And I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, because he INVENTED IT! And then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor!"

Face front, maggots, because you have reached General Stockade's page. You will read every piece of information on this page and you will commit every fact about this Decepticon general to memory, is that clear?! Good.

Unlike you green recruits, Stockade has seen action on the battlefield. He has earned more medals in service to the Decepticon cause than you will ever hope to achieve, rookie. He commands an obedient legion of Cyclone Mini-Cons, who will lay their very lives on the line in the service of their esteemed commander. And that is because Stockade leads by example! Stockade will brook no cowardice under fire on his battlefield, no-siree. Once he has outmaneuvered and surrounded any Autobot scum that come his way, they will surrender unconditionally... or Stockade will take matters into his own hands. And that is not a sight you want to see, do you understand me, soldier?!

Ten-hut! Move out!

"Then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one!"

A decorated Decepticon general during the Great War, Stockade was arrested after he tried to stage a military coup, and interred in a stasis pod aboard the Alchemor. Freed after the ship crashed on Earth, Stockade and a legion of Cyclones set about scavenging weapons, and stumbled across one of Windblade's supply caches. They lay in wait until Windblade—accompanied by Sideswipe, Drift, Jetstorm, Slipstream, and Optimus Prime—arrived to resupply. Eager to face off against Optimus Prime, Stockade ordered his troops to press their numerical advantage. Before long he had split the team up.

Stockade issued an ultimatum to the divided Autobots: if they offered the cache, he would spare their lives. Drift tried to bluff the general by claiming to be in possession of a doomsday device, but Stockade suspected a ruse and ordered his troops to scan the cache. Sideswipe then attempted his own feint by pretending to surrender, forcing Stockade to divert some of his troops to secure the Autobot. Sideswipe had teamed up with Jetstorm and Slipstream, and the trio managed to overpower their would-be captors. While the other Autobots faced off against the Cyclones, Stockade wound up fighting with Optimus. As it turned out, the general had bitten off more than he could chew, and Optimus wound up defeating him. He and his troops were subsequently returned to stasis pods in the Autobot base.
