Appearance: A very bulky Decepticon, the hull of his alternate mode makes up the majority of his body, acting as armoured plates. His colouration is black with indigo highlights, while his eyes form a single red visor. His mouth is little more than a faceplate.

Profile: During the war on Cybertron, Capsize was known to be a ruthless hunter of Autobots, commanding a battleship and raining down fire in the name of his Lord Megatron. Despite the veneer of brutality, Capsize was also known for his tactical abilities as well as having a sense of honour. For every enemy he defeated in battle and took captive, he would give them a chance to join the Decepticons. His nautical mile long mean streak returned when they often refused, destroying their bodies and leaving the lifeless shells on display for all to see. His ship, the Intruder, was often covered in corpses.

When Cybertron was abandoned, Capsize took his ship offworld and followed Megatron to Earth, only for a system failure after millennia of battle to finally catch up to him. The ship was forced to self-destruct, leaving Capsize to flee in the only escape pod. Landing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and badly damaged, Capsize remained still, evaluating the local vessels used by humans until he was able to reformat his body into that of an American Navy ship. Using his escape pod as extra parts, Capsize rebuilt himself into a Cyclone class patrol boat. With the battles between the Decepticons and the Autobots continuing to be waged, Capsize saw this as an excellent opportunity to return to Megatron’s service.

Abilities: As expected from a ship captain, Capsize is outfitted with many radar and sonar advancements that allow him to have complete overview of the battlefield. As a naval transformer, he can also traverse the ocean depths with little difficulty.

Weaknesses: Due to the size of his alternate form, most of the hull of the patrol boat acts as a shell. While this acts as added armour, it also decreases his speed significantly, and leaves him a very wide target. His patrol boat form is also completely immobile on land, acting more as a weapons platform than anything else. Capsize is also a slave to his own hubris, where even the slightest distraction is a challenge to his might and intelligence that must be dealt with post haste.
