Skywarp

Profile: Skywarp remembers almost everything up until the battle of the Underbase first began. He's been told by Ramjet that Starscream blew him away over Tokyo, and he can't say it surprises him. Not that it matters. 'Screamer¡Ç has always been a backstabbing son of a supply drone. The opportunity to pay him back will come up eventually. Everyone drops his guard sometime.

To be honest, Skywarp is just glad to be back in action. He never trusted Shockwave- no sense of humor, that guy- but you had to admit that keeping a secret hoard of backed up personality engrams for the Decepticons was a hell of an idea. Who cares if his memory isn't perfect? Better to be functioning with a little bit of amnesia than rusting to pieces in some Japanese lab.

Megatron didn't do half bad rebuilding him either. Skywarp would never say as much to the boss, but he suspects the quality of his new body has more to do with Shockwave's schematics for an upgrade to the Seeker model than it does with Megatron's mechanical skill. But still, Megatron's handier with a mana-spanner than you'd think.

He wishes they weren't on Earth. This dirtball's been nothing but trouble for the Decepticons. Better to be back on Cybertron, with proper ground under his feet. He misses the iron-ammonia clouds of the southern polar regions. He misses shooting Autobots in the back, and not having to sneak around everywhere. He especially misses the way it was back in Kaon, when the Decepticons were a proper army and a guy could steal a bit of gear from someone else's kit and not have every finger in the place immediately pointing at him.

Abilities: With Shockwave's help, Megatron was able to restore Skywarp's teleportation systems, though their energy requirements were much higher than in his original body. His range is limited to about two miles, and he can teleport three times before requiring refueling.

He's had some trouble fabricating replacements for his heat-seeking missiles, so his racks have been modified to fire stolen human munitions. Retrofitted with Cybertronian guidance systems, they serve as an adequate replacement.

Two independently targeting, variable-caliber maching guns fire more than eight thousand high explosive rounds per minute at a muzzle velocity of almost five thousand feet per second.

Weaknesses: Skywarp requires constant supervision. Left to his own devices, boredom will cause him to engage in potentially dangerous antics. Constant practical joking alienates him from the other Decepticons, and often results in injury to himself and others.
