Profile: Landquake has served Megatron since the very beginning of the Cybertronian Civil war. As an Energon flow analyst at the Kalis refineries, he had become obsessed with the idea that his destiny held a greater purposes. With the first attacks on Mini-Con sttlements, he threw in his lot with Megatron, seeing in the Decepticon cause a means to achieve this greater destiny.
Centuries of association with the Decepticons have proven to him that the movement he once beleived in is little more than a vehicle for hsi leader's ego. he undertakes the missions he is assigned with less than total dedication. Preoocupied as he is with self-doubt, and desiring the rigid structure of a real army, he often finds his duties for Megatron almost as boring as his old refinery duties. Nonetheless, he retains his dreams of a grand destiny. Even as he performs the pedestrian tasks assigned him by his commander, he allows his imagination free reign. He daydreams of great adventure, conquest, discovery and battles fought and won for a higher purpose.
In his spare time, he tweaks and enhances his own ssytems, enjoying the challenge of working on the internals that have baffled even the most advanced technicians among the Decepticons. though he is old, and many of his systems are otdated, he takes pride in the elegance of his circuit patterns and the efficiency of his own design. He was built in a better age when energy efficiency was less of a concern and engineering was an art practiced by craftsman for the advancement of all, rather than a brute force appraoch to swelling the ranks of an army.
Abilities: Landquake is a terrifying opponent in battle. His EM pulse cannons can scramble the circuits of even hardened targets, and the blast from his Energon plasma weapon is formidable enough to destroy many smal to medium=-sized targets at close range. Rocket-assisted leaps and glides can offer a devastating surprise to an unwary enemy. His long exposure to raw Energon has given him Energon refinementr and shaping capabilites superior even to the Omnicons. With a sufficient supply of raw Energon, he can create an array of formidable weapons.
He has an intuitive understanding of Energon flow dynamics and quantum sub-circuitry that borders on para-normal. When it comes to the efficient use and processing of Energon, there is no more advanced technician in the universe.
Weaknesses: He is easily distracted when not fully engaged intellectually by a problem. He is given to flights of fancy, and is vulnerable to a clever lie as told by a convincing con artist. Because of his belief that he is meant for great things, he has difficulty following through on day to day tasks. He is often careless in work and combat.
He is unfailingly honest and has a poor sense of humor. Among Decepticons, these are considered serious weaknesses.
