Profile: Working odd jobs was the way to get by for Blue Bacchus before the war started. It was dirty work, and it didn’t pay much, but whatever little it paid was enough to get by. That’s what Bacchus started with, until he found himself a slightly modest position amongst a group of underground gladiators. They may not have been where he expected to wind up, but at least they provided for his sustenance. These pits would be where he found the mech who would eventually turn out to be his closest partner, Black Shadow.

In his optics, Black Shadow was someone for him to look up to. Daring, bold and brash, it had certainly earned him a certain kind of reputation. Wanting to be like him, Bacchus got closer to them. In no time at all, the two had become one of the roughest, meanest thugs in the Decepticon forces. Absolutely merciless and ruthless, Blue Bacchus is tough and cold to the core. Like Shadow, he’s rude and strict around subordinates.

However, this seems to just be a behaviour he shows around Shadow. In actuality, he’s not as brave as the bravado he puts up. He’s fairly normal when he’s not around Shadow, and isn’t that disrespectful to underlings. Occasionally, he could be considered a pushover even, and generally tends to be a lot better to get along with fellow ‘cons.

Abilities: Blue Bacchus is an expert marksman and has a quick draw on his guns. Armed with two laser guns which he expertly dual wields, he’s capable of shooting with pinpoint accuracy from extremely long distances. His signature weapon is his Liber Rifle, a custom-made rifle built to Bacchus’s specifications. With it, he can snipe and mow down foes with greater ease. He also has various missile pods that he can use in both modes. Turning into a cybertronian helicopter, Bacchus often uses his rotor blades as actual weapons, wielding them like swords. He can spin his rotors fast enough to generate gravity-defying torque, capable of lifting things off the ground.

Weaknesses:
Blue Bacchus doesn’t have that many physical weaknesses, but he does tend to get himself in trouble when trying to appear more confident than he actually is.
