Profile: Landgrab was originally cold-constructed to be a member of the disposable class of Cybertronians that were necessary to ease the lives of the more privileged classes. Dispatched to whatever mechanoid of standing requested aid while in the field, Landgrab became a valuable member of his unit precisely because it was in his nature to never question the orders that he was given.

The entire concept of questioning anything was foreign to him until the words of a gladiator began to filter their way through the streets and the underground back alleys of Cybertron. To Landgrab, he was simply amazed that anyone would question the system or dare to go against it, but he would have no part of it.

After the war was well underway, Landgrab witnessed the massacre of several Cybertronians by a Decepticon raiding party. He did his best to hide, but his hiding place had been sniffed out. He was told to transform. After his alt mode was revealed, he was told by the Decepticon that they could use more repairmechs in their ranks and that he could choose to die where he stood, or serve the Decepticon cause and perhaps one day become worthy of the badge. Landgrab chose the latter option.

Within the Decepticon ranks, he soon found that powerful Decepticons enjoyed his unquestioning obedience even more than his government superiors ever had. They commanded. He obeyed. He had, at last, found his niche.

Abilities: As a repair technician, Landgrab can advance along a host of natural Cybertronian reconstructive processes both while in his stationary robot mode as well as within the confines of his mobile alt mode. Though not trained to deal with the more critical, life-sustaining systems of a Cybertronian, Landgrab can expertly piece back together the gears, levers and servos that help a Cybertronian function more smoothly.

Weaknesses: Though larger than an average Cybertronian, Landgrab's size was built to facilitate repairs on Cybertronians of most sizes rather than confer any additional strength. He is a poor physical combatant. Psychologically, he will do whatever more powerful or more important Transformers tell him to do, even if it is to his own detriment or harmful to the lives of others.
