"The Direct Response Espionage & Assault Department (D.R.E.A.D) is a sinister branch of Megatron's Vehicon forces. Consisting of the most skilled and ruthless of his soldiers, each D.R.E.A.D member is an expert in infiltrating enemy bases and conducting assassination missions on high profile targets.
Even though the Decepticons often outnumber their enemies due to their near inexhaustible supply of soldiers, the D.R.E.A.D team often find themselves on the other side of the coin,having to fight off large groups of autobots with little backup. This is why they always bring along a fire support member armed with a pair of Suppressor miniguns. Not only can these Suppressors channel unbelievable amounts of ordnance, they can do so independently due to appropriated Targetmaster technology, effectively simulating three soldiers in place of one.
Each Suppressor is mounted atop a SWIFT swivel arm that allows it to pivot 360º laterally and 90º in elevation. They can mount on the D.R.E.A.D's model 553 backpack for maximum killzone exposure."

Suppressor miniguns can be mounted on the back of a TF:Prime Vehicon using their shoulder 5mm ports or the 553 backpack.
