Profile: It is said.. Vertigo gained his name because just by watching his antics, will send one's sensors into a spiral. He particularly enjoys dare devil flying, diving at a high rate straight down, twist, turns, barrel rolls, the more wild, the better for him.

But despite the in air antics, he is a very level headed, dependable, Decepticon, inasmuch as he can be counted on not too loose his cool easily.

This is because he is an analyzer. He takes in information and organizes it, then finds the best course of action based on current data. It's not that he has mad skills in tactics, he's just logical and focused.

He'd probably have made a lousy Autobot if that was ever option for him, despite the logical mind, he has a very anarchic attitude, at least when it came to the old ruling body of Cybertron. He loves a violent uprising.

He can also be a bit cutthroat at times, gladly using whatever information he can gather to his own gain. If he comes across a juicy bit of info on someone, he'll be sure to use it.

When Megatron rose to power, he was quick to join the Decepticon cause and quickly rose in ranks for his reconnaissance abilities and backstabbing. He sold out nearly everyone in his way to get where he is, a firm position in Starscream entourage of Seekers. He does whatever he has to in order to keep said position.

Abilities: Vertigo has a pair of surveillance drones, roughly about 10 feet in length carried under his wings (named Predator and Reaper because he had a totally uncreative moment when he named them). He deploys them for more stealth reconnaissance since they are smaller and quieter. They can either be guided or self navigating. If he remotely guides he can only have one in the air at a time (and can't be in flight himself as he needs to focus on the drone), if deployed under self navigating, he gives them coordinates to proceed to, they will circle their target until recalled.
He's a fairly skilled hacker, intelligence gatherer. He's able to find the important information quickly to get out as fast as possible.

Weaknesses: He multi tasks a lot, especially with drones deployed, even when they're self navigating. He tends to obsessively check in with the drones positioning and diagnostics at the expense of anything else going on, as he views the drones almost as pets. He's a bit over confident in his abilities, especial when fighting.
