Profile:
Completely obsessed with weapons, and that is not an understatement. He can rifle off so many specifics on just about any weapon you can think of. From modern, to ancient, Transformer, or alien, he knows just about any weapon out there, and how it works. He seems to even know a fair amount about a couple secret experimental weapons every once and a while, and is laughed at as a crackpot, until the weapons become a reality a while later, and those who doubted him wonder how he was so accurate. He is smart, and a great firing range partner / trainer. He's helped many a Decepticon become a better shot, just by explaining how to handle the weapon better. He loves to design, build, and upgrade weapons, and can teach just about anyone how to maintain just about any weapon, from guns, to swords, and even fist weapons. It's just his passion. He is constantly seen designing, or repairing a weapon, if he's not maintaining one of his current weapons. He excels as a gunner, since his knowledge of artillery makes him a great shot with whatever is handed to him.
Abilities:
Mortar can repair or maintain just about any weapon set in front of him. His knowledge of weaponry is so diverse, he can even identify most foreign weapons under a couple seconds, and can easily give specifics on most things you need to know. He is a great mechanic and engineer, but his main skill is weaponry. He can design, and build just about anything you can think of, and a few you didn't. When encountering a new type of weapon, he has multiple sensors to analyze damage on impact, spread, accuracy, ammunition, type (energy, explosive, etc.), recoil, and many other things, even if the weapon hasn't even been used yet! He is a great gunner, since he has extensive knowledge of weapons, and a decent sniper. He is smart and skilled, and his speed as a starfighter allows him to reach escape velocity and fly through space, where he can test his new weapons were no one can see them, or get in the way!
Weaknesses:
Mortar needs to reign in his obsession. He means well, and does great work, but he can be absent-minded. He will think of an upgrade and work tirelessly on a weapon until that upgrade works. This may not sound like a bad thing, until you reach for your weapon while on the battlefield, and realize it's not there. Why? Because he took it from your quarters in those 20 minutes you where in the mission briefing right before you left, and he's back at the lab working on it, while you're under fire! What's an even more confusing situation, is when it's still in your possession, but there's some new functions added to it, but you have no idea what they are, how to activate them, or even what they do!
