Metal Hawk stands as the field commander of the Autobot Pretenders during the early stages of Transformers: Super-God Masterforce era, assuming leadership responsibilities in the absence of Optimus Prime. 

Operating from within a human-like Pretender shell, Hawk and his fellow Pretenders live among humans while secretly defending Earth from the rising threat of the Decepticons. 

Though not as heavily armed as later Autobot leaders, his strength lies in his courage, discipline and unwavering sense of duty - qualities that make him a natural leader in uncertain times.

Transforming into a Cybertronian jet, he provides speed and aerial superiority to the battlefield, often coordinating missions from above while directing his team - Cloudburst, Landmine and Waverider in both combat and reconnaissance roles. 

His leadership style is calm and decisive, focused on unity and survival rather than glory.
