Profile:

A noble warrior who takes great prode in his hunting abilities.He found a scan of a lion when he was asked to choose an alt. mode. He tends to stay in Beast mode when he hunts, allowing him to stay stealthy. He has great leadership skills and tends to take command whenever possible. His traits may seem Autobot-like, but his support for the Decepticon cause is unparalleled.

Abilities:

He is an expert at hand-to-hand combat and stealth tactics. He can sprint a great distance while in beast mode. He is also able to go into a "Beserk" mode, giving him the ability to rip apart any bot with ease. This is also his most dangerous attribute, due to the fact that he will attack anything living near him. He is also a great leader and tends to take charge at any given moment. He is also a skilled tracker with increased sensory abilities.

Weaknesses:

He doesn't use ranged weaponry, which makes him an easy target for marksmen. He must get close to do any real damage and he sometimes suffers from lapses of judgement. His Beserk mode is probably his greatest weakness though, since he cannot control his actions during his attacks.

Sample post:

The Amazon

Grave walked calmly across the jungle, he felt home in this kind of enviroment, unfortunately the rest of his comrades were not. They had been sent on a mission to search for any possible energy inside of the natural paradise.

This place must be teeming with Energon, with this much life it has to be full of it, thought the hunter.

"When can we get home? This place is too rough for my frame!" said one of his teammates.

"Stop complaining! You just keep your optics open and if you find anything useful you can go home to your oh-so-lovely base!"

He was starting to grow tired of these in competent troops who seemed to just grow dumber as the years dragged on. Suddenly a figure moved across the jungle, any normal troop would mistake it for a large animal, but Grave was far from normal...

"Get ready for combat, we're not alone..." said Grave.

He crouched down and sharpened his senses. It was circling them, it was probably going to attack the whiner, but even as good as that sounded he couldn't have it happen, he was a fellow comrade anyway.

Come out, come out, wherever you are...

Weaknesses:his need to protect optimus,and his wings(without them he wouldn't be able to fly!!)

Sample post:as he was flying around the world he got a transmision about some decepticons attacking some humans and flew as fast as he could.When he got there he noticed a strange siglan comming from one of the decepticons.

As the fight continued he keept feeling that decepticon,After he had beeten down the other decepticons the one with the strange signal came out.

"who are you"Breakdown asked.

"i am you" the decepticon replied.

"Tell me your name"breakdown demanded!
"you will have to find me" the decepticon said as he teleproted away.

"thats weird" thought breakdown.

And as he left he saw somthing on the ground.It was a toy he used to play with as a child.Then he got a transmission to return to the Autobot base.

Profile: Like an elemental force of nature, Rampage barrels through life with unabated, uncontrolled fury. He has difficulty talking coherently for more the a few seconds at a time before he reverts to his "normal" state, violently lashing out at anything or anyone nearby, even fellow Predacons. Wherever he goes, he leaves a trail of wreckage that's as clear-cut as a black line on white paper. Although feared by his comrades, he's appreciated even more so for the unequalled ferocity with which he fights. Strangely enough, the only thing that has any calming effect on this mechanical menace is television. The more mindless the program, the more Rampage is entranced. He's been known to stare for hours at rock music videos.

Abilities: In tiger mode, Rampage can leap to a height of 300 feet over a distance of 500 feet. He's incredibly strong- a kick from one of his forelegs can crumble a cinder block wall. He has four twin gun-ports, one mounted above each of his legs, and each capable of shooting 300 rounds of small-calibre ammunition per minute. In robot mode, he also uses a powerful lightning rifle, which shoots beams of 60,000-volt electricity. He also has a thermo-sword, which has a blade that heats up to 5000 degrees Centigrade, allowing it to cut through most metals like butter. He combines with his fellow Predacons to form Predaking.

Weaknesses: As a consequence of the punishment they take from his constant leaping, the springs and suspension system in Rampage's four legs often break down and require near-constant maintenance

Sample Post:
Rampage was running through the trees feeling like nothing could stop him. The Predacon didn't give a damn what got in his way any hapless Autobot that came close to him was dispatched in a frenzy in which Rampaged revelled. The feeling of energon running down his frame as he tore apart his helpless prey; was one that he loved, as it made him feel somehow alive. Transforming into his robot mode Rampage walked into the Decepticon camp. It amused him how everyone would scurry out of his way in an attempt to keep their limbs attached. Not that it would actually matter; if he felt like it Rampage would probably just go on a slaughter fest anyhow; no matter who or what was in his way.

- Go ahead and bump his dexterity up to 8, as I imagine he is pretty dexterous when he is leaping and when his legs are fully functional.

- Also, for the time being at least, the Predacons don't have their Earth based alternate modes yet. If you could modify it into something like a Cybertronian Tiger or something to that effect, which probably resembles his Earth mode, then the profile should be good to go. The Predacons will likely get their Earth based modes at some point, but I am not sure when .

Make those two changes and post it again and I will get you approved.

He is also a skilled tracker with increased sensory abilities, this means he can use enhanced hearing, sight and touch capabilities to find his prey within a 5000 yard radius.

Weaknesses:
He constantly finds himself at a disadvantage when it comes to ranged battle, which is easily understood with his weapon in mind. His cannon can only fire a few yards ahead of him, and it fires out a simple force blast. He is also prone to make a jump for power, a trait that can make him or break him.

Profile:
Skywatch is still a young robot, yet understands why this war must be fought. He doesn’t like it, and longs to have his former transport sled form restored. That longing does not prevent him from performing his duty to keep the skies clear of Seekers and their ilk.

He is fairly friendly and idealistic, almost naïve. Not surprising considering he is not yet a full cycle old in his current form. He is still unsure of his capabilities, if given the chance to think on things, but those that have looked him over think he will be fine once he fully integrates into his new function. He is not stupid however; he is aware what war is, having been an incidental casualty already.

Skywatch is inexperienced and should be partnered with a steady hand.

Historical Notes:
Skywatch began his life as a commercial transport sled. As a domestic model, he felt the usual affinity to the Autobots, and was thinking about joining them when the Cybertronian wars broke out. Being technically unaligned at that time did not prevent him from becoming a casualty of Decepticon Seekers looking to blow things up. Things like him. Skywatch was severely damaged and rendered largely non-functional. That was then. With the Autobots needing someone to help keep the skies clear of the evil Decepticons, he has been run through the Autobots repair system and emerged in his current form. Skywatch is unsure about his role and new function.


Abilities:
Enhanced detection and tracking system – links to orbital satellite systems, observation stations on the factory moons, or any other available observational source to get a clear view of his area. With the breadth of sensors available, has a reasonable chance of neutralizing stealth/cloaking systems. If he is in an area where there are no satellites to link to, this has only true line of sight ability. Allows for long range reconnaissance, but functions poorly while on the move in that mode. Best used when not moving quickly (under 100 kph/60 MPH)
(6 points)


Hover system is cybertronian gravitic system. Limited flight ceiling height (15 meters), speed caps out at 350 MPH (no points, flavor text only, speed stat accounts for this)

Weapons:
Vehicle mode
Multi-mission interceptor missiles: missiles with dial-a-payload. Can be used as high-speed anti-air intercept missiles, or as direct-fire anti-armor missiles (with slightly lower effectiveness). Can also be used as torpedoes…though that isn’t recommended due to lack of active guidance.
Range: 78 miles/125 KM (note: same range as modern Air defense missiles)
Limit of 12 (6 per missile pod)

Ion Pulse Cannons: energy bolts that cause a massive disruption of shield and control systems. Minimal physical damage. Causes massive convulsions/seizures that have a chance of lingering for days (think tazer, but with more…duration.) Extremely effective against shield and computerized systems, due to the imbalance of energies imparted.
Range: 2 miles/3 km. effectiveness begins dropping at 1.5 miles, and falls quickly after
2 per pod

Bot mode
4 missile box launcher – as Multi-mission interceptor missiles, but with 4 missiles ready instead of 12

Ion Tribarrel: as Ion Pulse Cannons, but cross linked. Higher physical damage, on par with standard Autobot weapons, with the same shield/control system effects.




Weaknesses:
Has trouble turning at high speeds in vehicle mode
Has hard time righting himself in vehicle mode if overturned
Limited ammunition for missiles
Tends to watch too much satellite TV where available




Possible Sample Post:
“Simulation Complete”. At the announcement the world faded back to the bare walls of the training complex. Skywatch shifted from his vehicle mode and hopped off the support cradle “I got him!” he crowed to the instructor, looking pleased with himself.

“Did you?” The mild response a bit surprising.

“Of course I got him!” Skywatch retorted “No way could I miss with that barrage!”
The instructor snorted “I see. Let’s take a closer look at that and see if you did it this time, shall we?” he moved over to another panel and set up the replay “Begin. “
A small rectangular vehicle with smaller boxes jutting from either side of the rear deck was skimming along a riverbed, spay rooster tailing from the rear. “You objective in this exercise was to secure the” the view zoomed out from the vehicle on display to a topographic map “secure river valley from aerial intrusion.” Another zoom out to show the valley “You chose to use the river itself as a site. Why?”

“Satellite showed only 2 possible ways through the valley” Skywatch tone was clear that he thought that a stupid question “along this line” his fingers sketched a line into the display “by staying on the river I could use my mobility to hit and move”

“Very good” the instructor agreed “What else?”

“I couldn’t handle the hill slopes that well” Groused the younger robot.

“Everyone needs to know their weaknesses as well as their strengths Skywatch . You aren’t the only one to have them.” The instructor chided him gently. “Attacking force was spotted ten minutes earlier, giving you advance warning. Your response?”

“I connected to the satellite to confirm their path and set up for launch.”

“Who were your targets?”

“The Seekers of course!”

“Ah yes, the seekers. Very good” Skywatch got a cold trickle at the tone. He had missed something again.

“I moved to the edge of the foliage cover along the river and set up my first sot. Two missiles, 2 seconds apart. Clean launch” the view slipped back to the vehicle firing ” and the second missile hit”

“Two missiles for one Seeker? A bit extravagant, or a bit insulting…”

“Neither. The first was a decoy. All it was supposed to do was drive the Seeker down into”

“Into the second missile where it couldn’t dodge so easily. Not bad….not bad” the instructor finished

Skywatch beamed.

“Then you ran.”

Skywatch stopped beaming “Yes I did. The last thing I want is to be reset again by those Spark-lost drones. I moved to another position further down the valley”

“So you did” the figures in the display moved in time to the narrative” That kept you from being hit by their counter attack” Two of the four remaining jets transformed and swooped down to the rivers surface. The slablike vehicles turret rotated to face the rear and small angry red bolts spat out at the pursuers. One went down in a giant spray as it went into convulsions “Your accuracy needs some work, or do you have a secret store of Energon?”

Skywatch grumped silently ‘I’m not a created combat model you old Junkion’

“Still one down, the other you had to use another missile on.”

“It worked!” Skywatch protested

“Yes it did, I wasn’t complaining young man, merely observing the events. That left two.”

“One disengaged. Pulled up and left out of the valley. I ignored it and launched everything at the last one.”

“Stupid.”

“EX-cuse me? What do you mean ‘stupid’?”

“Look the word up if you don’t know it. Look” the instructor pointed at the screen again “the missiles were dead on. You got him. Congratulations. You are also so dead…again.”

“What? No way!”

“Way!” the instructor disagreed firmly “You were so busy being trigger-happy that you didn’t see the last Decepticon blow you clear to Primus!”

On the display, a plane blinked into being, moving low and fast, launching four missiles at the hovering craft. The explosion made clear what would have happened “My original question stands: Who were your targets?”

“B-but-“

“You have the ability to look further out than most Skywatch ” The instructor continued remorselessly “..but if you don’t use it properly, that advantage is wasted! How do I make that any clearer? Work on that tonight. We’ll run this again tomorrow”. With that he turned and walked out without waiting for a response, leaving Skywatch staring at the display.

On screen the colors of Skywarp were clear.

Profile:
He was originally a Autobot but he didn't like the fact that optimus wouldn't use his power to take control of the universe and decided to leave.but he still has close ties to the autobots including his brother who is a bounty hunter.he dose however have a burning hatred twords optimus,and that may be the only reason he joined up with the decepticons?


Abilities:
His armor is very tough but rockets,missiles,and mines can still blow a hole in his armor.he has a plasma rifle.he also has two energon pistols and a sword for close range combat.
also using the Cloaking Device he can sneak up on his autobot foes and destroy them.It renders him invisible to the eye and scanners.


Weaknesses:
He is fairly slow and he rushes into battles without thinking and most of the time gets hurt pretty bad.but when he starts hand to hand combat he is ruthless.

Sample post:
Shutdown walked down an empty street and sat down to think. After a few minutes he felt as though someone was watching him, So he started to walk, As he got out of the alleyway a rocket blasted a hole in front of him. Shutdown turned around and noticed an autobot bounty hunter staring him down. Before the bounty hunter even had a chance to think shutdown had already made it to him and as they fought a few decepticons sat and watched as they already knew that the autobot was dead even though he didn't. The battle was over in less that a minute and as the bounty hunter died SHUTDOWN felt sorry and as the hunters body armor powered down he realized that it was his brother,and a single drop of oil ran from his eye down his cheek.

Sample Post:Decepticon Command Center

Blackbird was ordered to the Command Center, for what reason, unknown.
Blackbird, standing about 20’ from Megatron, sitting on his chair, Starscream beside him, getting very nervous at the sight of Blackbird.

Blackbird was given the order to get information on where the whereabouts of the Autobots new base is located and defenses, then report back to Megatron with his findings. Also, if he had the chance, kill any Autobot except Prime.

Blackbird nod in agreement, did an about face and left. Once he got outside, he transformed and headed off to the Moon Base 1 that the Autobots were at, setting up his electronic jamming and engaging his cloaking devise.

Moon Base 1

Blackbird arrived at Moon Base 1, had a little trouble getting thru the defenses but that was par for the course. Transformed, still cloaked, move around very silently looking for the Main Frame Computer. Had to stop and start his movement duded to other Autobots going from place to place but finally he got to the Main Frame. Finding a corner where he would not be noticed, took his cable from under his left arm and attached it to the computer input jack, got passed the firewalls protecting it, entered the correct user name and password. Found the information that Megatron wanted, downloaded it to his internal memory, exited out of that file and put a virus to destroy it, then all of the sudden alarms went off and a booming voice came over the PA speaker “COMPUTER BREACH! COMPUTER BREACH! ALL AUTOBOTS TO THE MAINFRAME!” Unknown to Blackbird, the Auotbots beefed up their Mainframe, He gets his sword, walks towards the exit, still cloaked, gets to exit, doors opens, One Autobot standing their, prepares to use his sword, uncloaks, and slices the Autobot in half. Blackbird looks at the Autobot with no remorse for what he has done, looks both ways and goes right, finds a exit door to the outside, opens it runs out, transforms, engaging the cloak and radar jamming and heads back to Cybertron.

I am not sure where to put the proper Stat pentys at, so I do applogize for that. It has been a long time since I have done one of this things.
