Pre War Within Ratbat (with altmode and profile)

Name: Ratbat
Allegiance: Decepticon
Function: Industrialist

Quote: “The justification for profit is profit. My profit.”

Profile: Greedy, rapacious and cynical, Ratbat hides his true nature behind a facade of apparent civility. Educated, ironic, elegant and sophisticated, he can easily charm any mechanoid he may need to broaden his powerful industrial empire, even if it’s fairly common that someone senses his true nature and feels a chill of apprehension in his presence.
Uninterested in the consequences of his own actions, unconsciously cruel and lacking even the minimal empathy for another’s suffering, Ratbat is driven by a possessiveness that is deeply rooted in his long-forgotten origins as a Primitive predator: dozens of Vorns of evolution may have led him to the apex of intellectual and technological perfection, but deep within his Spark Core, the only thing that matters to him is dominion over his own territory and obtaining new energy sources.
The only difference between his present and his past lays in his aims, that Ratbat sublimated because of the secret shame he feels for his ancestral Primitive nature: when once he was content with his savage territory corner, now Ratbat aims to exploit the entire planet, in order to transform Cybertron in one gigantic, profitable industry until even the last natural resource will have been consumed.

Abilities: Currently, Ratbat transforms into a long-range reconnaissance aircraft, exploiting gravity field propulsion and the most advanced cloaking technologies in order to spy undetected any kind of territory that may have awakened his desires of possessions.
His Primitive legacy still allows him to leech the Energon in a mechanoid’s systems, using an osmotic process so radical that it causes the victim’s Spark Core to die out.

Weaknesses: When his predatory instincts cannot vent through industrial abuse of natural reserves or other equally despicable activities, Ratbat loses his rational control and regresses to more bestial and savage behaviors. In these conditions, he can easily make gross judgement errors. He’s not very strong and in servo-to-servo combat he can get the upper hand only with the advantage of surprise.
