Profile: Gigabite is Retribution’s “doomsday weapon,” a one Transformer army capable of obliterating entire cities all on his own. Constructed at an unknown Autobot black site, Gigabite was a well kept secret prior to his first deployment, an incident that saw the Tor Voltis forward outpost reduced to dust in less than a mega-cycle. Where the resources needed for his construction originated remains unknown. Subject was believed to lack spark and sapience before being sighted operating independently in the Sonic Wastes, driving off the equally massive Decepticon Error Threshold. His sentience is still up for debate even among his fellow Autobots as he rarely displays even a moderate level of intelligence; he rarely speaks more than a couple words at any one time. What is known about Gigabite is that when he appears on the battlefield, the average Decepticon trooper runs in fear of his presence.
Abilities: Physically, Gigabite is one of the more massive members of the Autobots, on par with giants like Omega Supreme. His sheer size, along with a tough armored superstructure, means he can shrug off even the heaviest artillery barrages the Decepticons can throw at him. He’s surprisingly agile for his size, able to outmaneuver any opponent his size or larger. His beast mode is armed with a powerful beam cannon located inside his jaws that can reduce armored bunkers to dust in mere nano-clicks. When he roars, he produces a powerful sonic wave capable of shaking smaller robots to pieces at a range of several miles, and even damage more durable targets. He can eliminate entire battalions with a single sweep of his tail, while his claws and teeth are capable of breaking into all but the toughest armor. His entire body is armed with enough cannons, laser emitters, and rocket launchers to reduce Decepticon armies and fortifications to molten slag. In robot mode, he’s strong enough to lift even a “cityformer” and punch through even hardened bunkers. He wields a pair of triple-barreled Gatling cannons that fire shells large enough to leave craters when they impact the ground – even unexploded.
Weakness: Gigabite’s sheer size is his greatest handicap; he’s just too big for anyone to miss. Although he’s more maneuverable than Transformers who are equal or greater in size, he’s still slow and ungainly when compared to more average sized Cybertronians. His sheer bulk and heavy armor are usually enough to offset these weaknesses; however, advanced warning that he’s approaching and a stout defense can be enough to impede Gigabite’s advance and even drive him off.
