Most Transformers would simply classify Redsnipe as an Insecticon without much thought. After all, it's common knowledge that various groups of Insecticons hail from disparate worlds, so why question the fact that this seems to contradict most theories on the origins of the Cybertronian race? Redsnipe often feels like the only one on her native planet of QC, or indeed the whole BL system, who does. She is convinced that this lack of even caring about their history is what has made her fellow Vecticons so weak that they'd rather stay hidden from the various aliens that have sought to colonize and mine their world. As the only one of their number who believes they have an obligation to be a warrior race, Redsnipe became her local hive's defacto leader in resisting all invaders.
While all Vecticons have lost any ability they once had to summon weapons from subspace, Redsnipe's tail functions as a versatile weapons array with twin cannons that can utilize a wide variety of ranged armament. To inspire the others to fight, however, she usually charges the enemy head on with her amazing ramming ability and sheer courage, which gives her the added element of surprise when she finally unleashes her superior firepower only in response to a counterattack, leaving her enemies in enough disarray for her hive-mates to take them off guard. Of course, this tactic doesn't always work, and they all know that they only survived the last incursion of those Zentraedi through dumb luck that the exploration party was recalled to join a larger force for a more urgent mission. This finally convinced Mantissa, the Vecticons' greatest scientific genius, that Redsnipe was correct all along in urging them all to get stronger. Her satisfaction at finally having a friend listen to reason quickly turned to horror at the means by which Mantissa was willing to achieve it when Redsnipe watched her devour her own mate Mantessor mid-coitus for the sake of an experiment in personal evolution.
Top of the HELL!

There's a toaster? Awesome! Now to find Pianoformer...
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=31486
All cons finished in quadruple digits!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=1277
All 3 kills, but the lowest score:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=19457
First time out at level 3, and outnumbered 3-2:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=25746
Outnumbered 2 to 1, they won!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=61311
Even fight, all 3 kills!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=62520
Not her finest hour, but she was there to see Colonel Mustard's:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=67154
All 4 Kills!!!!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=71850
Outnumbered, AND the Autobots had 2 LEVEL 4s!?!?!?
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=77957
3,584, and half the cons didn't even score!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=1549
Another 2 on 3 victory!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=4553
3 on 5 victory:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=9725
Another 2 on 3 win:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=17753
Is courage all that matters? Beats a 3 and 1 single-handed!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=17950
At 3,136, she's queen of the Hell! Of course, the cons lost...
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=20508
New record: 9,670!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=34242
Won 4 to 6, with no advantage in levels!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=35715
Sure they were mostly level 1s, but it was still 1 to 2 odds:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=40809
Okay, THIS is why I'm just gonna' leave her at level 3 for the foreseeable future:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=46261
And THIS is why there are no lv.2's vs. lv.3's missions:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=51457
She killed Street Punk!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=56755
New Record: 11,472!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=69989
9/16/2011: I joined 3 missions in which were really narrow victories, this one being the closest:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=48549
And just when I was debating about upgrading her to level 5, she handily beats Speed-Spots one-on-one. I think she'll just remain the most bad-ass level 4 for a few hundred-thousand more XP longer:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=61723
I upgrade her strength ONE POINT, and suddenly she's unstoppable! And she still hasn't had that many upgrades for a level 6:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=320530
Three 6s beat an 8 and 9, and by the time it was down to just Redsnipe and Double Dealer, she only had half his HP!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=347581
HO-LY-SLAG! Singlehanded, took out a level 6 and outlasted a level 7!?! Let this be a lesson: doubling up medics in a mission can
backfire big-time!
She beat Tri-Fury with 3 rams before the trike could get in a shot...and she's still only halfway to level 7. Damn.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=367536
Yeah, I know beating up a lone medic's nothing to brag about, but 2 levels higher AND they went down in 3 consecutive rams without making a move?!? Ouch.
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=370922
Another salvaged suicide mission:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=371498
Beat 3 Bots and once?!? 2 medics at once is one thing, but Tank at the same time is unbelievable:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=373615
Again, but with just 1% health!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=374141
She lost, it being 2 against 1 and all, but she KOed Omega Supreme? One of those Team Primus Spinosaurs?!?
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=375064
And here I thought I was being stupid and irresponsible sending her into Hell Unleashed; the 'Cons might not have won without her:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=378171
Textbook example of why your medics' levels matter:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=380637
Not singlehanded, but the 'cons WERE outleveled:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=382733
124,232!!!!!! Cuz' she took out Street Punk!...due in large part to Occult repeatedly repairing her, of course:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=384785
Okay, she didn't get any of the 3 kills, but both 'Cons came out with 100% health, no repairs:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=389072
99,216! Finished off Street Punk again, but no repairs this time, just numbers:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=393543
6X2>8X2! I guess I should be getting more ambitious with her:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=393563
3 at once!!!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=393832
She and Smashback had the exact same score...?
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=398916
She's at her best when the going gets rough:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=399808
Okay, can't brag about the levels on this one, but beating any of those Beyonder guys singlehandedly when they have backup is rare:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=407583
And on this one I can't brag about a victory, but the scores show her to be a huge pain in the ass for our local Autobots:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=407779
Outleveled and outnumbered, Raceline goes down, she's whittled down to 1% health...and then she rams all 3 Autobots into stasis in 3 consecutive turns!!!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=408642
Last one standing in Hell, 1% health!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=419699
Even if it was a medic, the gulf between levels and score is impressive:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=422881
Small score, but a victory over superior numbers:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=425422
Now THIS, on the other hand, was impressive:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=425492
Okay, here's a case worthy of study (you still into this, Anshin?) Outnumbered 3 to 1, she wins by running out the clock, pounding on the level 5 and KOing the level 4, forcing Vitatech to repair them. Although this was effectively wasting his time for a victory, his score was slightly higher than hers. I guess it's strictly who scores the most points for damage:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=425978
Outnumbered and outleveled, 4 to 2:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=427380
Despite recent ass-whuppings, she beats a level 7 and 6 singlehandedly without a scratch:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=428287
Damn, the attacking medics who don't have anyone stronger to repair trick works even if the lower-level guy is badass!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=429198
All 3 kills:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=442509
I guess they've been evenly matched all along:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=444835
Again, but she really had to turn this one around:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=453241
Beating Hallowjack 1 on 1 with just 1% health...the perfect end to a good day, even if I still can't find MP Soundwave's fingertip:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=456649
Shockingly, neither of her opponents spent a turn repairing the other:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=487350
Beat Magnus Prime with assistance from a level 4, making the total levels an even 11, and escaped with 49% health!
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=493665
Beat a 7 and a 9 singlehanded! She's still got it:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=37763
185,120, last one standing, 2% health:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=45599
123,680, beat a level 10 singlehanded:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=82521
235,920, and 100% health!!!!!! (Well, Democracy was doing repairs) Really high scoring hour for 1/3 of the team:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=85726
