Profile: One part Wheeljack, one part Arcee, all Decepticon.
A veritable mastermind in her own right, she is one of the few that apply themselves towards the sciences more than seeking battlefields. Namely the science of destruction.
She is one of many responsible for the heavy militarization of many of the Decepticons even if they aren't aware of it. Weapons, armors, technology, little escapes her grasp.
Due to being one of the sources of Decepticon weapons, she has improved her own design including her weapons. She, despite her size, and frail appearance is very deadly.
Not only is she a scientist, she an excellent combatant and a capable spy.
She does not know this but she is almost the splitting image of the Autobot Arcee! Only a few differences of appearance and coloration would differentiate the two.
It's unknown if they share origins, both probably looking like Paradrons, or even if they're related, but odds are good they aren't going to have a happy meeting!
Abilities: She's been clocked at speeds some 400 mph or better in her alt mode. Her top speed is 415 mph.
Her main weapon is a weapon she designed herself.
It's a 15 round mobile rail gun based on the prototype that rocketed her to rank 5.
The wounds caused by this rail gun gives very little trauma as it impales and penetrates cleanly as they travel at mach 8 up to 200 miles away with little stopping them.
Recently she refined this weapon to carry a small explosive charge in the round that optionally shatters the steel spikes creating a shotgun style weapon that uses kinetic energy to deliver a deadly blast of shrapnel, though the latter is slightly weaker in impact since the kinetic energy is spread out by the small charge.
It has a secondary mode of fire using energy rounds in place of the solid rounds but these lack the solid punch of the steel rounds rather making more traumatic wounds with heat and energy.
She usually only uses this firing mod when she is completely out of solid round reloads. The secondary firing mode creates more heat than the solid rounds and is more draining on the internal battery.
Despite the Rail Gun's massive range and kinetic power, she is not an expert marksman, but she is far from a poor shot. Augmenting her aiming ability she can interface with a scope built in with a zoom feature allowing her to aim better as if the scope were a third eye.
She carries a missile launcher which fires up to 6 small guided missiles which are good for taking out enemy aircraft, and hard targets.
The two weapons can be linked together in a mock energon longbow, or used individually. They both mount to her arms or legs in robot mode, or to the main body of her alt mode.
Her other weapons are there as fallback weapons. They are a pair of Energon Sabers that she has ingeniously rebuilt so that they can fire portions of it's energy as shattered energon blade and super heated plasma. In either mode they are a fairly close range weapon.
Among her triumphs is a low level force field that, while not giving much protection, reduces friction allowing her to move at high speeds in either form.
Weaknesses: She carries no major weaknesses short of the fact her past experiences tend to cloud her current judgments.
Sample Post: With an energon goodie hanging from her teeth she looks up at a view screen and at a schematic of a Seeker. A ranking member of the Seekers that commissioned her to make a new weapons system custom for him.
She adjusts the calculations, and watches the predicted energy flow.
"FLAME WAR!"
She jumps out of her daze snapping the energon goodie. Half hits the control panel, she chews down the rest before she swivels in her office chair from her view screen. "Yes, " she looked over the shouting person reclined, and her legs crossed. Great, a commander. "Commander?" she adds after seeing who it was.
"Have you finished that weapons system I ordered?!" He barked at her.
"I have some kinks to work out. Wouldn't want an overload blowing you to slag, hm?" She sounded slightly annoyed. He checked in every Mega-cycle on the mega-cycle though she told him it'd take a while.
He sounded equally annoyed by the sound of his grunt, then he leaves to wait on his new toys.
She really did enjoy making weapons, weapons systems, and the sort. Design, building, even repairs and installation, but the impatient patients are the downside.
What was really great about her job was that she could spend her time doing the mad scientist routine. She practically had tenure, let alone free run of the lab. She truly did make devastating weapons.
Unfortunately a lot of these weapons, while powerful didn't always suit the tastes of the Decepticons.
And with the shortage of resources and power, few of her weapons got off the blueprint screen, left to be in the reserves, just in case.
She kept them encrypted, too. Even if the Autobots got it, they'd have to decode everything, and then get the resources to make the horrifying weapons.
Even with her massive intellectual capacity in many areas, she took requests. Even vague ones. Even if it was just to prove she could create a weapon for the job at hand. But that doesn't mean they actually -got- those weapons. No, some things took special notations. If she got authorization to build anything any time, and Primus forbid, the resources, she could have split Cybertron in half like a molten ball bearing by now.
And with the knowledge of building weapons she needed knowledge in metallurgy. That gave her some knowledge in creating armors, which she applied to herself.
Mixing armor and technology together, she's made force fields and the sort. Though a lot of that is still in the experimental phases and what few are made are for very large craft, and light protection. Again, she applied a prototype to herself.
One thing leads to another, and she's become a fairly respected scientist, though low in rank.
Supplementing her knowledge towards creation, she learned to use her weapons, and is a cunning fem-bot. She passed Decepticon Combat training some time in her illustrious career though she rarely used that training.
She's pretty flexible in terms of roles, though flexing that versatility is a rarity.
Who knows why she never got promoted too far. Ah well.
Then again she was happy enough. She had room to ply her trade, and has little interest in other things like advancement. As long as she can do what she wants she is happy.
