Cyclonus

Profile: Cyclonus is of what many fellow Decepticons would refer to as an "ancient breed," a warrior who works best when sworn to the banner of a courageous or especially ruthless warlord. After exploting Megatron's sinster attempts to ensare his Spark in a Vehicon body, Cyclonus escaped to wander Cybertron alone, eventually allying himself with other fugitives who had suffered the same fate. A soldier of few words who normally keeps his own counsel, Cyclonus' greatest ambition is to be of service to the Decepticons' proud legacy. In a sense, he is a shadowy knight-errant, ssutained by a quiet nobility that at times seems ill-fitting with the traditional Decepticon virtues of treachery and conquest.

Abilities: Cyclonus is both extremely fast and maneuverable in jet mode due to his dual fusion-powered engines and multi-wing design. In robot form, he is not only extremely strong, but capable of drawing additional power directly from his enemies through sophisticated bleedback receptors in his fists. This ability makes Cyclonus an extemely dangerous opponent in hand-to-hand combat, enabling him to draw strength from his enemies roughly proportional to the intensity of their attacks. Aside from his physical prowess, Cyclonus possesses an extensive expertise in sabotage and demolitions that makes this arsenal all the more deadly.

Weaknesses: While a tremendously potent warrior in his own right, Cyclonus works most effectively when adhering to clear-cut orders and mission assignments. As such, his undeviating loyalty may in fact be a crucial weakness. Once Cyclonus has sworn fealty to his commander he will follow orders without question - regardless of how deranged or self-serving his leader's instructions may be.
