Profile: The Throttlebots’ self-appointed comedian. Specialises in insulting jokes, he’ll make fun of even the most highest ranking commanders and occasionally has to be gagged by the other Throttlebots before he lands himself in hot water. Unfortunately he cannot take what he dishes out. Freeway absolutely hates being made fun of and is liable to get exceedingly irritable and even angry when someone makes fun of him. Not the most popular Autobot around but he does works best as a part of a team and is most comfortable around with his fellow Throttlebots who have gotten used to Freeway's sense of humour. He makes use of his skills as a saboteur to also rain havoc with practical jokes. He uses these jokes as a form of blowing off steam from what is a rather stressful job sabotaging Decepticon equipment with often little support. Relies on tricks and dirty tactics in battle instead of brute force. Freeway absolutely despises the idea of a straight fight (often because he tends to lose those) and will usually find some way of bending things in his favour. He much prefers sneaking around behind enemy lines causing mischief than being on frontline combat duty. His boisterous nature can make him a liability on covert missions if he isn't told to shut up soon enough.
Abilities: Freeway’s car radio disguises a sophisticated radio intercept and decoding device. He uses this to pick up enemy radio broadcasts, de-code them and transmit erroneous ones instead to cause maximum confusion amongst the Decepticons. He’s an excellent saboteur, knowing most of the tricks of the trade and inventing a few himself. He’s armed with a plethora of equipment that he can use for a whole range of booby traps and disarming them. While Freeway is not the fastest of the Throttlebots he can still achieve a top speed of 180mph (290kph).
Weaknesses: Lack of strength and firepower means that he can rarely hold is own in a fire fight or hand-to-hand combat, without the aid of his fellow Throttlebots. Freeway has been known at times to laugh so hard at his own jokes that he blows internal circuits and disables himself. This can cause much merriment amongst those Bots who he had just been laughing at.
Sample Post:
Freeway rolled his optics, “You never visited me while I was lying wounded, possibly dying in the medbay,” he said to Nova Strike, “Not once. You didn’t even send me a get well card. Oh sure you can go on about defending the city from Decepticon attacks, like that’s a proper excuse! Next you'll be saying that you had to go on some secret black ops mission. Really, is that anyway to treat your friends?”
Freeway was feigning incredulity after winding up in medbay seriously wounded. He had been repaired and was back on his feet but he had to vent his frustration somehow and unfortunately Nova Strike just happened to be the Bot who was in the wrong place at the right time. His fellow Throttlebots knowing full well what kind of mood Freeway might be in upon his release from medbay were nowhere around, having found excuses to be elsewhere until Freeway had worked it out of his systems.
“I’m not angry with you, Sparky,” the Throttlebot said using the nickname he had given Nova so long ago, “I’m just disappointed. But they say forgiveness is a virtue so I forgive you. Better hurry along to that meeting with Grimlock,” he patted Nova Strike on the back as the big Bot turned to leave, “Yep, forgiveness is a great virtue, hehehehehe!” he chuckled quietly to himself. He gazed at the back of the departing big Bot and the sheet of paper now glued to the armour of Nova. In bold print it proclaimed that ‘Dinobots can kiss my fender!’. Freeway laughed more. Yes, he reflected, laughter is the greatest medicine.
If I recall correctly you used to play a majority of these guys in the last game. So I know you're comfortable with RPing them.
Just a couple stat changes though. According to his tech specs his speed should be 4 and his courage should be 8.
Other than those minor changes he's good to go. You can stick him in a couple of places, Nebulos, on board either the Guardian or the Ark-22, G9, or Cas Coller - Autobot shipyard.
