Profile: If SOundwave is Megatron's ears, Reflector would be Megatron's eyes. His three components can function together as one or seperately on an as need basis. When seperate, his three components go by the name of SPectro, Spyglass, and Viewfinder. Other 'cons have a difficulty telling them apart so usually just refer to him as 'Reflector,' even when seperated. Performs better as one unit however.
Loves to observe things; vegetation, architecture, Earthen topography, and particularly comrades' mistakes. Likes to blackmail his associates and is impressed with his own ability. Has highly-developed infra-red vision that can record images in darkness, through camoflage and at great distances. In camera mode, can emit powerful flash explosion that leaves enemy blind and disoriented for up to 15 seconds. Refecltor is a veyr loyal soldier to Megatron. Though he lacks great stength or weapons, he can be counted on to fight it out until ordered not to or victory is acheived.
Abilities: Advanced surveillance gear, flight in robot mode, and can emit a flash bomb that can temporarily blind an opponent. Can function seperately or all three togther as one.
Weaknesses: A warrior Reflector is not. He is at his best behind enemy lines as a spy. In combat, Reflector is only a supporter, lacking the strength and speed to to help in melee combat, and the firepower to spearhead a ranged attack.
Sample Post:
It was another standard day for Reflector. He was sitting at his observation console monitoring certain specific events all at once. Spectro was tuning in to see a human talk show to better learn their culture and how it may be used against them. Spyglass watched American fleet movement intently near the North Korean waters. He was anxious to see if hostilities between the two enemies would flare up any time soon, and how each side could be manipulated and destroyed. Viewfinder was content on the internal base security. He wanted to know what each Decepticon was up to, save Megatron. That was one Decepticon any of Reflector did not need to watch. There was also the chance that Megatron may find out and crush his optics one by one if he found out. Instead, Reflector paid no attention to Megatron's movements unless specifically instructed to. As one would imagine, he was NEVER instucted to. All three parts of Reflector were viewing everything as one. As they gathered and processed information, Megatron summoned them.
Megatron boomed in, interupting his information gathering process:
"reflector? Are you on-line? I have an urgent mission for you! ANSWER ME!"
It took Reflector a moment to respond. He was processing so much at once the sudden interuption disturbed and antagonized him. If it were any other Decepticon, Reflector would blackmail them at once. But this was Megatron! Reflector had nothing to blackmail him with, not did he want to. He was a loyal soldier, and would continue to be until he has ceased functioning. All three of his components responded at once, in their montone, shrill voices:
"Yes Megatron. What are your orders?"
"I want you to observe a new stealth technology the humans are going to test today." Reflector waited silently, knowing Megatron would give him all the info he needed. "They are launching a new submarine from the port in San Diego, California. United States of America. I want you to observe it's trip to Los Angeles. When they activate their stealth tech, I want to make sure we can still observe them. Anything off the radar at this point would be spoke in our wheel! Do you understand me?"
"Yes sir?!" They all replied.
"ALL of you?" megatron continued.
"Absolutely sir...you shall you report and know everything as soon as I do."
"Excellent Reflector. I expect a detailed report with in the hour."
"All hail Megatron..." The screen went blank before Reflector even got the words out. He quickly went to work aligning satellites to focus in on the port in San Diego. The sub was easilly recognized and Reflector kept all six of his optics on it. As it launched Reflector was already bored. Viewfinder stayed tuned in on the sub, Spyglass watched Autobot movements, and Spectro watched fellow Decepticons.
Spyglass watched the two Autobots setting up a jamming tower. It was that loud mouth neanderthal Ironhide and the one that never shut-up. Jazz was it? Immaterial. All that mattered was a possible jamming station was going up. Viewfinder watched the sub and monitored all communications. Spectro watched and laughed as Skywarp teleported behind a distracted Dirge and then kicked him down a set of steps. He made note to use it against him later. As this occured, the sub activated it's stealth tech and Viewfinder lost it on visual. All three were panicked, and immediately snapped to attention.
Viewfinder: "target lost..."
Spectro chimed in: "Begin cycling through infrared specturm..."
Spyglass: "Cycling...processing..."
The three worked in unison, not wanting to fail Megatron. Each cycled through a different version of infrared, three different versions at once. It did not take long before the sub was located. They chimed in unison:
"Sub found, grid 712-Theta. Infra red version 24.6, seismic filter can penetrate stealth abilties. Preparing report..." The three brains processed all their data at once in preparation for Megatron. They called him, as no one summons Megatron.
Refelctor asked him, "Mighty Megatron, If you are ready are report is finalized."
Megatron was happy, or as happy as he gets, that at leats one of his troops can handle a simple order. "Proceed," he bellowed.
Reflector spoke as all three again, "Human sub technology cannot be penetrated by standard sonar. Decepticon technology has penetarted it's stealth via Infra Red version 24.6, seismic filter...object does not pose a threat. It is easilly tracked and monitored. Also, in Sector Upsilon Pi-42, two Autobots are setting up a jamming tower. Iron Hide and Jazz by the read outs. Recommend immediate action." Reflector choked a litte, how would Megatron react to him 'recommending' actions or anything?
Megatron smiled a halk smile, "Excellent work Reflector...the sub poses no threat. As for the Autobot tower, we shall eliminate it at once. Have yourself prepped for combat if necessary. Megatron out..."
Reflector was angry he was snubbed for combat, again! He would not openly challenge Megatron's decree though. He was just ecstatic though that Megatron did not scrap him for 'recommending' action. He watched as the Decepticon warriors fueled up to destroy the tower. He also laughed quite a bit when he noticed Skywarp pour a LARGE amount of Cybertronian laxative into Starscream's fuel supply. He made note of it to use against Skywarp as well...and to view Starscream later as that may prove entertaining. Yes, reflector was his own little TiVo.
Lets just get you started back with a regular character for now instead of Reflector.
