Powers/Abilities: The Warheads were originally a human warrior/explorer, utilizing Mys-Tech's technology to access other worlds via wormholes and to gather technology from those worlds.
They were experienced in navigating alien worlds, analyzing energies, monitoring their surroundings and fighting alien forces with various blaster weapons.
Diana was the resident psi-scout and
had additional telepathic abilities that helped her to fight off
Cyberdrone control.
History:
(Die-Cut vs G-Force#1 - BTS) - Seeking to further
investigate wormhole and superstring technology, Mys-Tech's Rathcoole
sent Professor Daniel Jones and Warheads Bina Troop through a
wormhole-like tubular structure known as the "superstring."
As Jones studied the wormhole, the Warheads traveled to the planet on which the Gestalt Bomb was then based. The creation of this wormhole apparently generated (or maybe just accessed) a previously untapped pocket dimension/universe ("Elseplace").
Arriving on the planet containing the Gestalt
Bomb, Warheads Bina Troop took out a group of Cyberdrones, after
which their psi-scout, Diana, sensed something that was incomplete but
dangerous and which was blurring her senses. 
Diana further noted that the Cyberdrones were guarding something called the "Primary Artefact," filled with thoughts of "The Seeding."
As one of the Warheads, possibly
Rogers, identified recent seismic activity in this area (perhaps the
unearthing of the Gestalt Bomb) and a weird power source under the
rubble, Cornell noted an incoming fighter ship headed their way. Cornell
considered that the object they had unearthed (the Gestalt Bomb) could
be worth something and that he was getting a big "unknown" on his energy
scan. Travers instructed him to keep an eye on the ship.
After the Gestalt Bomb was discovered, Diana informed Travers that they could not depart with the item before the ship's arrival as the wormhole would not open for another five minutes.
As the Warheads assumed Tempest
position to face the ship, one of them sensed the item powering up, at
which point it suddenly blasted Rogers, and Diana noted that the thing
was absorbing his mind and taking him over.
However, the ship landed and more of the Cyberdrones approached, forcing the Warheads to ignore Rogers and engage the attackers.
(Die-Cut vs G-Force#1 (fb) - BTS) - The Gestalt Bomb converted the members of Warhead Bina
Troop into Cyberdrones, who apparently joined other Cyberdrones in
preceding the Gestalt Bomb into the space-time corridor once the
wormhole opened (presumably to assure both items' safety?).
(Die-Cut vs G-Force#1 (fb) - BTS) - The Warheads were the Gestalt Bomb's first victims in centuries, and from their minds, it recognized Earth as an ideal target.
(Die-Cut vs G-Force#1 (fb) - BTS) - The Activator somehow bonded with the new Cyberdrone Matt Travers.
(Die-Cut vs G-Force#1) - A group Cyberdrones including the converted Warheads then arrived there via the corridor's destruction, and Travers, controlled by the Activator, ordered their cooperation and noted that Earth would be the first target of the Seeding.
(Die-Cut vs G-Force#2) - The Cyberdrones attacked Die-Cut and Jones, warning them that resistance was irrelevant and that they would be absorbed.
Initially overwhelmed and pessimistic, Jones became furious and unleashed a burst of power to incapacitate the Cyberdrones.
This also allowed the Warheads' Diana to escape the group mind and break their control over her. She then explained the nature of the Gestalt Bomb/Primary Artefact and the Activator.
Speaking through Travers, the Activator, told Diana to join them, and when she argued that she would rather die, Travers/Activator slew her.
Die-Cut then sliced off Travers' arm, only for a repair drone to replace the missing limb with one of its own.
Noting that Jones most endangered the Seeding, a cyberdrone reconfigured itself, molding new weapons, and incapacitated Jones, whom Die-Cut dubbed G-Force, sending him some distance away.
(Die-Cut vs G-Force#2 - BTS) - Meanwhile, as contact with Jones and Warheads Bina Troop had been severed, Rathcoole resolved to use his own power to re-open the wormhole.
(Die-Cut vs G-Force#2) - As Die-Cut tore into the Cyberdones, they noted that he had proven worthy and that they should end the testing and absorb him, at which point G-Force returned and joined the fight.
Nonetheless, the Cyberdrones immobilized them both with an energy beam and then began the absorption process.
In the first step in becoming part of
the group mind, Die-Cut and G-Force's minds interfaced, giving them each
the strength to fight back a
nd reject the Cyberdrones' cold
gestalt mind, possibly aided by the new dimension's being linked to
Jones.
After the Cyberdrones collapsed, Die-Cut and G-Force recognized the Gestalt Bomb from images shown to them by Diana.
As the bomb began glowing, and G-Force considered that it was sentient and possibly thinking of ways to deal with it, Rathcoole opened the wormhole.
At G-Force's suggestion, he and Die-Cut got the Warheads back to Earth, hoping that they would revert to their human natures away from the Cyberdrones' influence. After that was done and Die-Cut had returned to Earth, G-Force, still in the other dimension with the Cyberdrones, sealed the wormhole with a gravity bubble.
The Cyberdrones attacked G-Force,
seeking to coerce him to open the portal to Earth, but he refused; as
the Gestalt Bomb had determined that his powers were linked to his
emotional state, the Cyberdrones began to torture him. Denying them and
denouncing them as unliving emotionless beings, G-Force allowed the
wormhole to collapse, with his gravity bubble forcing the energy
explosion toward the Cyberdrone army, the Gestalt Bomb, and himself.
G-Force was the only apparent survivor within this pocket dimension.
On Earth, the Activator-bonded/controlled Travers revived after Die-Cut's departure, vowing that the Cyberdrones would have their revenge, and then the Seeding would continue...

The short version is that the
Cyberdrones swiftly assimilated (apparently) all five members of Bina
Troop. Travers was bonded to the Activator and had a leading role, while
Diana's psychic powers helped her throw off the Cyberdrones' control and
inform G-Force and Die-Cut what was going on. Travers slew Diana soon
after, and even when G-Force sent Travers and the others back to Earth
in the vain hope that they would be freed from the Cyberdrones' gestalt
control. The others may or may not have been freed, but Travers remained
bonded to the Activator and sought to continue their mission.
Ten of the Warheads' Troops are
named after the ten sefiroth in Kaballah, either directly or
obliquely.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sephirah
Kether Troop of course being the protagonists, the
'senior' troop, and the ones who turned good, as the Kether, or Keter,
is the highest branch of the Tree of Life and is thus the closest to
God.
Ubu Troop is the exception to the naming
convention, and were probably
dubbed thus by a writer and/or editor who didn't get the original
reference.
--Sean Curtin
It's a direct reference, as the wormholes they
originally entered were situated on a model of the qabalistic Tree of
Life, and they entered the wormhole at the crown of the tree--where
the sephirah Kether is situated.
--Kyle Smith
Per Wikipedia:
The first sefirah, Keter,
describes the divine superconscious Will that is beyond conscious
intellect. The next three sefirot (Chokmah, Binah and Da'at) describe
three levels of conscious divine intellect.
Chokmah (or Hokhmah) represents the first revelation of intellect, or insight of wisdom. Bina (or Binah) represents grasped intellect, or understanding. Da'at represents assimilated intellect, or knowledge.
