Profile: On Cybertron his buildings were considered to be works of art. His architectural designs are no less short of brilliant. Grapple has always had a skill for architecture and is the Autobot’s foremost architect. On Earth, Grapple has taken to studying Human architecture from all the many cultures. He has looked into Gothic, Classical and even modern industrial for inspiration. Grapple keeps electronic pads full of ideas for future designs and pictures of interesting buildings. However he knows his buildings are limited by the necessities of war.
He is very proud of his work, striving for beauty and quality, he takes satisfaction in the completion of buildings he has designed. However when his buildings are destroyed Grapple takes it very hard, often going into a deep brooding depression that can last a long time. He dislikes war and looks towards a time when one of his buildings can stand without fear of being blown up in an air raid.
Abilities: Grapple considers his best ability to design magnificent structures that will stand a test of time and a direct missile strike. He is quite strong and in crane mode he can lift a 35 ton object and position it with precision and grace. He is armed with a high-temperature arc-welder rifle, which he mainly uses for construction but will, when he has to, turn it upon Decepticons. It sends out a stream of infrared energy that can slice or fuse his target whether that is a Decepticon or a wall joint. He can launch explosive rockets 4.5 miles from his wrist sockets. Grapple has a top speed of 58mph.
Weaknesses: The depressions Grapple suffers when a building he designed is destroyed takes a toll on the architect. He will often end up doing little more than nothing while depressed, sitting in his quarters all alone. During these depressing times he is very hard to motivate until he comes back out of them when he gets a flash of inspiration for a new design. While Grapple is reasonably strong he isn’t good in hand-to-hand combat and is quite slow. Lacking durability, Grapple also suffers from breakdowns while he is in vehicle mode.
