Profile: Redline can come across as extremely abrasive. He is highly narcissistic. He prides himself on his abilities and combat prowess. If someone says anything disparaging about that, he flies into a rage and can become violent. Despite how self-assured he seems to be, Redline is actually quite envious of others and craves their approval. More than just rage, disparaging remarks actually hurt him a great deal.

Despite that, he’s fairly honest even if the honesty is horrendously blunt. He pulls no punches. He likes to play fast and loose with the rules, caring more about whether the assignment is entertaining or not rather than the morality or consequences of his actions during a mission. While he can be honest about others and situations, the one mech he lies to the most is himself. He’s very good at it and is able to convince himself that going down his self-destructive path is fine, claiming he’d rather go out in a blaze of glory than waste away in the doldrums of duty and honor.

On the flip side, Redline can come across as something of a charming devil. He puts on a show for others, and often acts impulsively, having this craving for excitement. He lies, he cheats, and he twists others to exploit them and get what he wants whether that just be praise and admiration or something more. As such, his dealings with others are generally quite insincere even if it appears otherwise. He’s capable of caring about others. He simply doesn’t care to care as its costs outweigh its benefits.

If anything is certain about Redline, it is that he always speaks his mind, consequences and authority be slagged.

Even before the war, traces of Redline’s abrasive personality shone through. He was a political activist once as well as a news anchor. However, both landed him in trouble. Taken to the institute to remedy his troublesome ways through Empurata, Redline’s troublesome behaviors were resolved in a fashion, but the issues with his personality were only amplified even more.

Signing on with the police force after his career in the news had abruptly ended, Redline began to accrue combat experience. As a cop, he was about as dirty as they come. He had many dealings with the underworld, especially with regards to drugs, as well as being paid to look the other way or doing a bit of his own dealing or wet-work for unsavory parties such as certain senators. He worked the system and maintains that those who don’t or can’t deserve what they get.

He joined with the Autobots, more because of the friends and allies that he’d come to know rather than the ideals involved. He later joined the Wreckers after being busted for substance abuse again. He figured that he would get a “clean” adrenaline kick from being part of the Wrecker’s unorthodox suicide squad.

Abilities: For better or worse, one of Redline’s greatest assets his is mouth (figuratively). Whether it be through charm, taunts, or otherwise, he has a talent for manipulation. Additionally, Redline is equipped with a sizeable armament. At a base level, his claws are a great weapon. Their vice-like grip can be the bane of many a foe, but even without a foe in his grasp, his claws make excellent puncturing weapons with enough sheer force behind it.

In addition to his bare claws, Redline sports a variety of bombs, dual lasers, and a gatling gun which he can use in either mode. His physical armament is impressive but so is his battle experience. A veteran of many battles and having gotten out of many a difficult situation, Redline’s experience is what best steers him through combat.

In alternate mode, Redline can reach speeds nearing Mach 1. However, he lacks the maneuverability of other fliers with lighter frames.

Weaknesses: Despite his talent for manipulation, Redline also a bit vulnerable to it as well. He may be aware that he is being manipulated or goaded, but he lacks impulse control and so often falls prey to such tactics. His abrasive personality does not make Redline much of a team player, preferring to go it alone or disobey orders when he thinks it would suit him better. It’s not so much that he hates the team so much as issues with certain leadership styles. He does not like to be reined in. Additionally, his substance abuse can have unpleasant side effects during critical moments.
