Profile:

Wipe-Out was a cold constructed nobody -- before the Decepticon Uprising. Working as a small courier for the Council, Wipe-Out had never really looked up at the stars or felt alive until the night he first read Megatron's dissertations. He signed up for the Deceptions as soon as he was able and served on smaller, less important fronts through the first big movements of the Great War. If he were important enough to earn a reputation, he'd have one as a weak but excited and dependable messenger, courier, and scout for whatever unit he was attached to. But Wipe-Out has stayed below note his entire life due to the less prestigious nature of his function, and the less impressive aspects of his form. Wipe-Out doesn't mind, however; he's working towards making the dream Megatron taught him about, a galaxy where sentients are all equally free under the banner of the Decepticons, and obscurity is a small price to pay. Wipe-Out knows his function is important, and knows it goes to a higher cause. This is enough for him.

Abilities:

Wipe-Out is an adept scout, with efficiency systems that allow him to operate at high activity for long periods without refueling. Able average speeds of 249 MPH for extended trips, Wipe-Out can cover lots of ground in small amounts of time. His modular liquid sprayers and photon blasters are built into components at his hands and wrists, allowing him to quickly access his weaponry if a situation goes south. As a scout his helmet and optics have been outfitted with high-grade scanning equipment that can operate over nearly 4 kilometers under optimal conditions.

Weaknesses:

Having never been the toughest Decepticon, the same efficiency systems that allow Wipe-Out to work for so long also make him much more fragile than most Decepticon warriors. His attachment to Megatron's philosophy and his living up to it has more than once gotten Wipe-Out into situations that were far too dangerous for him. While travelling at high land speeds, Wipe-Out's maneuverability is severely limited.
