Profile: A relatively older bot, Groundbomber is secretive and untrusting. Despite her age and experience, Groundbomber is impulsive, and will abandon a carefully thought out plan if she sees a better strategy. However, she is honorable soldier, and will refuse to kill a foe that is weaker than she without provocation. Her untrusting and secretive nature discourages many a commander from giving her valuable intel or positions. This is perhaps why, even with her length of service, Groundbomber has been rarely promoted or even noticed. This lack of trust can anger her, and she's almost quit on multiple occasions. Still, she believes in equality for all, and can't abandon those who need protection from the Deceptions' endless conquests, and will pull through when the going gets tough.

Her friendships are few and far between. She is not a good team player, and usually strike off on her own. The friends that she does make, she holds close and dear to her. Woe to anyone who takes out one of her inner circle.

To those who don't know her, however, think she is nothing beyond a dumb soldier. They think because of her brutish tactics, lack of social skills, and lack of computer skills make her unworthy of being anymore than an expendable trooper. In actuality, she has a keen and gifted mind. To the few that she gets close to, they will scratch the surface to find a tactical mind, honed with years of experience. This makes her resourceful, with a quick mind to match her wit. Unfortunately, her body is not as quick.

Groundbomber thinks she is indestructible, and with her very high armor strength, she isn't too far off. However, this impulsive tendency, along with her temper, usually lands her either in the middle of a perilous situation. That, or a court martial.

Even with this streak of brashnesss, she harbors insecurities. Groundbomber is afraid to lead soldiers into battle, for fear of killing them. She is scared that if anyone ever finds out where she came from, she'd be mocked and treated as a lesser being. As such, she prefers to usually keep her head down and away from the spotlight.

Abilities: Reaches speeds of 650 MPH, can go down to under 600 if carrying a heavy load. Groundbomber's cannon can have several purposes and ammo types, such as gatling, shotgun, long-range to name a few. Her rifle fires blasts of energon that can pierce armor fairly easily. She carriers multiple missiles and types. However, her strength lies in her physical power and durability. She also has a quick and talented mind, capable of looking at several angles to a problem and solving it quickly. Groundbomber also has a visor that comes down over her eyes that serves as binoculars, scanner, and a tactical overview.

Weaknesses: Groundbomber is slow in both forms, and cannot do many complex moves other than punching and smashing. Lack of teamwork can lead to her being stranded in perilous areas without support. Her impulsive behavior can make her bite off more than she can chew. When Groundbomber's temper rises, so does her inner temperature. If she blows her stack, she can give herself internal injuries, which could end in fatality if not immediately attended to. Sometimes, in battle, Groundbomber can put aside accuracy in an effort to do more damage. This is especially dangerous when she uses her heavier weapons.
