Scarlock's Bio
FUNCTION: Autobot Buccaneer
PROFILE: Talkative, boastful, charming, known as the 'Scourge of the Rust Seas' and wanted in most Cybertronian city states 'Captain' Scarlock (There are no records of his ever having served in any of the Cybertronian military forces, naval or otherwise) was a highly skilled smuggler and freebooter before the war. Quite comfortable plying his trade off-world as well as on, he might have avoided the war entirely if it hadn't been for a Decepticon booby trap that destroyed his beloved starship, The Garuda, and stranded him in deep space. Once he made his way back to Cybertron he began his quest for vengeance. Parlayed a pardon with the Autobot leadership as a condition of joining their war effort.
Escaped from his marooning in space by using salvaged components from his destroyed ship to repair the crippled Lodestar, who had been incapacitated in a decepticon strike himself.
First encountered the other members of the LRRP unit he would be assigned to when he accidentally provided a distraction and a means of escape for them by attacking the dummy military base they had been lured to as a trap by their unit commander and Autobot traitor, Knightstorm.
Liking the 'cut of their jib' he connived his way into taking Knightstorm's slot in the unit but command rank was given to Slingblade.
As the 'new bot' at Altihex, Scarlock ably proved himself worthy and continues to be an asset to the A' Blades. However he is still seeking the decepticon commander that ordered his destruction, so far all he knows that it was done because "It was the logical decision."
ABILITIES: An acrobatic swordfighter he is formidable in the use of his trusty Vibro Cutlass and hidden backup Laser Dirk. For ranged combat Scarlock uses his Underwater And Surface-To-Air Cannon which fires a high-pressure jet of liquid that can cut through most metals.
His critical systems are impervious to water (and the equivalent bodies of fluid on Cybertron) and, thanks to a number of micro-hydrojets, he can move as quickly underwater as on land in robot mode. The 'patch' over his right optic is actually a sophisticated sonar and radar sensory array that allows him to passively or actively scan his surroundings 360°, making him difficult but not impossible to sneak up on.
His Amphibious Car mode has a land speed of 280 MPH and an maximum aquatic speed of 70 Knots. His car nose has been modified with razor-sharp edging, reinforced with trithyllium-steel alloy impregnated with irradiated carbon fibers, for ramming his way through bulkheads to board vessels. Uses a rapid-retracting Electromagnetic Harpoon Gun to enhance his ramming attacks.
WEAKNESSES: Scarlock is particularly vulnerable when transitioning from land to sea in vehicle mode. In vehicle mode Scarlock is more susceptible to damage from the rear. Prone to overusing High Grade Octanes. Has a tendency to get caught up in treasure-seeking opportunities, often roping in his unfortunate comrades into disproportionately dangerous (and often futile) treasure hunts.
