DECEPTICON PROFILES
VIRUS
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: COMPUTER ANALYSIS/WARRIOR
"War is a game; the one with the highest score wins."
Profile: Manipulative, cruel and evil are words that have been used to describe him. His speciality is rendering electronic Autobot equipment useless, by means of computer viruses and he'll affect other systems just for the fun of it. He invents new viruses all the time. Microsoft, Apple & every other computer company hate this guy. The Decepticons try to stay on his good side. He can be quite ... infectious at times. He's extremely manipulative of the Autobot (Ex-Decepticon) Disquette. She doesn't know that Virus would never really hurt her - it's just his way of showing affection, however strange. Virus absolutely despises Monitor. His Autobot adversary is more intelligent as had the one thing he wants - Disquette's love - and he hates Monitor, cos he thinks he's boring.. Apart from affecting systems/Autobots with his computer bugs, Virus has a secret love. Computer games. He gets every one that comes out. He's got them all stored somewhere, well the ones he likes, anyway. He only likes the ones with action, not the ones where you have to think, or sport simulations. He deletes the games he doesn't enjoy playing. He's up to date on all the latest releases. If a new one comes out, he wants it like a kid with a new toy. He has a Virtual reality unit in his quarters. Once Megatron caught him playing Space Invaders whilst he was on duty. Luckily Virus was able to convince Megatron that he was trying out a new battle strategy. Phew. And it's partially true - Virus is an expert marksman and is very manoeuvrable due to the playing of his games. Secretly, he'd rather be scoring with his games than blasting Autobots or fighting a war. As he says, "the stakes are too high when you play with your life."
Abilities: In robot mode he carries a powerful dual-laser blaster. He's immune to all computer viruses, even ones he creates. He has the means to infect any outside system with them and can create many different types of damaging virus programs and viruses to counter them if necessary. He has an incredibly fast access speed and is up-to-date on all current information (and games). He accesses the Internet with no problems and runs any software. He stores all types of info, useful or not, for future reference. He's also extremely adept at computer games, which, believe it or not, aids him in battle.
Weaknesses: His main weakness is his love for games. He'd be in a battle in the street, then see a new game advertised in a shop window and divert all his attention to it, leaving himself vulnerable to attack. He also gets very depressed and has a foul mouth and temper when he misses out on a game. His other weakness is his ego. He thinks he's so great, that he's sometimes too big for his proton boots. Then when he's outnumbered or someone gets the better of him, he turns into a coward and it could take weeks to rebuild his crushed ego.

SHAAN (Female)
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: WARRIOR/TACTICAL ANALYSIS
"Everyone is created equal."
Profile: Shaan is Thundercracker's sister. She had always cared for him and worried about him all the time, since their creator had been destroyed. She's older than Thundercracker and was worried about Thundercracker joining the Decepticons, but she cared for her troubled brother very much and decided to support him in whatever way she could and joined the Decepticons with him. Shaan was lost in a battle and presumed destroyed. She was "dead" for many years, before a jolt of energy awoke her. To her shock, she found Cybertron devastated by war, and was practically deserted. Shockwave shot at her, thinking she was one of the female Autobots, needless to say he was quite surprised. He informed her of the Transformers leaving Cybertron. He transported her to Earth. Thundercracker was very surprised and happy to find his sister alive and very happy and didn't let the other Decepticons see him giving her a hug. Shaan is still protective of her younger brother. The other Decepticons don't really know what to make of her and sometimes tease her, which upsets her. Like Thundercracker, she's somewhat of a peacemaker in the Decepticon ranks. She's always breaking up fights between fellow Decepticons. She doesn't like fighting and hopes the war ends soon. She doesn't feel free with the Decepticons. She would rather not be part of any allegiance, but feels she has to stay close to Thundercracker. He often tells her of his problems, doubts and his fear of Megatron. Shaan can tell Thundercracker is unclear of his sense of purpose. She desperately wants to help him, but she's unclear of her own. She's seen Thundercracker doubting himself in a battle, where humans were in danger, even when he was ordered to blast a defenceless Autobot. Shaan is convinced that the only way to help Thundercracker is if the war stopped - and they can find their purpose elsewhere in the universe, perhaps helping others with similar problems, but Shaan is unsure how to accomplish this. She doesn't want her or Thundercracker to be considered traitors, and she doesn't want to embarrass Thundercracker in front of his fellow Decepticons.
Shaan also cares a lot for Breakdown and some of the other underdogs.
Breakdown shares her feelings and hopes they can be together when the war ends.
Abilities: Her gentle voice has a calming effect and she's a master at helping others see different points of view - even Megatron listens to her. Shaan never left Cybertron, so she still has her original jet mode. Her Maximum speed is 1500 mph, and she can launch incendiary missiles, which ignite on contact. She also has lasers. Also in her jet mode she can activate a protective shield. In her robot mode, laser rifles, are concealed within her arms.
Weaknesses: Shaan is easily hurt emotionally and gets depressed when other Decepticons tease her. She's sometimes overprotective of Thundercracker, causing him to resent her and this hurts her a lot. She also gets extremely upset and worries about what's going to happen to them in the future. Her only escape from these moods is a lone flight around Earth and hope no Autobots shoot at her. She tends to look on the bright side, which helps.

MC
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: SCIENTIST
"Knowledge is everything; stop at
nothing to gain it."
"It's alive! It's alive! I've created a
monster!!"
Profile: Full name - E = MC2 rather a mouthful. Just call him MC. He's very intelligent, and quite, quite mad. Anything with a scientific nature will intrigue him. He finds warfare very boring and a waste of time and energy. He'd rather be lying back with his nose in a science book. Physics and chemistry are his specialties, but he knows great amounts about other aspects of science, such as exobiology and he's quite fond of astronomy. He absolutely despises the Autobot scientist Perceptor - hates him even more than non scientific solutions. He's only interested in Perceptor's scientific discoveries, nothing more. In fact, he once got his hands on Perceptor and performed some rather painful, gruesome experiments. Thinks he's better than Perceptor and he gets angry when Perceptor betters him. MC has a tendency to perform cruel experiments is his quest for knowledge. He sometimes uses Earth wildlife or an Autobot or even fellow Decepticon with whom he has a grievance - that's why it's better to stay on his good side. He's not well liked among the Decepticon ranks, but then he's not hassled either for obvious reasons. Megatron delights in his cruelty as he says, "MC's good at his job."
MC's high pitched mad-scientist cackle sends
cold shivers all through even the most robust!
Abilities: He can transform into both a telescope and a
microscope, both modes with extremely powerful lenses. he's extremely
intelligent and cunning and can make any experiment work with just about
anything, whether it's possible or not. In telescope mode, he can shoot an
extremely powerful laser, capable of making a devastating impact on whatever,
or whoever it hits.
Weaknesses: When he's king of his castle, you'll find him on his throne, but when the going gets tough, you'll find him under the table. If the Autobots capture him, he'll blab any plans and secrets so they won't hurt him, only he's scared that if the Decepticons find out, they'll do much more than just hurt him! He's also terrified of what Perceptor will do to him if the Autobot ever got his hands on him! Also in telescope mode, if used frequently, his laser has a habit of burning out, causing serious injury. And lastly quite a number of his experiments go wrong, bruising not only his ego.

DARK NIGHT
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: WEAPONS
CONSULTANT/BUILDER
"Expression is
everything."
Profile: Probably the most enigmatic of all Transformers. Chooses his few words
extremely carefully. You'd be lucky to hear him say one word a week.
Others think he's weird, but he doesn't let it bother him. They can think what
they like. He doesn't care. Sometimes he's so quiet, you won't even know he's
there. He sees no point in the war. It's a waste of time to him. Despite
that, his main task is constructing weapons and other means of eradicating the
Autobots - Something of which he is not proud. Personally he hates killing and
wishes the Autobots and Decepticons would sit down together talk things over,
but he's extremely careful not to reveal this to anyone.
Another secret that he'd never reveal ... he
has a very dear human friend called Loral. When he's alone with her, he talks,
not much, but then compared to how he is usually, this could be considered
talkative. Loral helped Dark Night regain his self confidence, which he had
lost. Thanks to her, what others think about him doesn't bother him anymore.
Decepticon's often speak about him behind his back. He used to sense their
misgivings and it used to upset him, but he can't hear even them - even if
they're in the same room. Dark Night is the only Transformer who is deaf.
Abilities: Dark Night can lip-read at astonishing speeds, so
you can talk to him and he'll understand, but you have to be looking at
him. He can also understand codes such as Morse code lights. He's even
able to lip read Blurr in fast motion. He's also extremely intelligent and
organised. He hates the slightest thing being out of place. He can
fly in robot mode, but thanks to an accident in his youth, when he was blasted
by crossfire in a battle, he lost his ability to transform. His transforming
mode had been transport vehicle. He uses a medium sized light gun in robot
mode. When he came to into sentience his creators were unaware that he could
not hear, and when they discovered, it was too late to fix it. Since then, Dark
Night has accepted his deafness as part of who he is in this life time. he
knows he wouldn't be the same person if he could hear.
Weaknesses: Dark Night
sometimes still get very depressed at his dilemma and how the others shun
him. A lot of other Decepticons get annoyed with his lack of
communication and this puts them off him, sometimes leaving him vulnerable in a
battle.

CLAW (Female)
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: WARRIOR
"No One escapes the claws
of Claw."
"Get out of my way now, or you'd wish
you had!"
Profile: Cruel, evil, maniacal, sadistic - and those are her
good points! Loves tearing up Autobots with her razor-sharp beak and claws in
eagle mode. Her squawking and gruff, hoarse voice is enough to send shivers up
even the mightiest Autobots back. She won't destroy an enemy straight away.
She'll scare the lubricant out of them and terrify them to tears, or near
enough, a shivering wreck, then she'll tear them to pieces - literally, mind
you, while they're still conscious. Really a lovely girl. Despite
her cruelty, Earth birds and insects, fascinate her. They're the only moving
thing she won't tear up or shoot on sight. In her private time, she studies
them, but she won't let anyone know she has a tender spot for them. She enjoys
bird watching. She has a private insect farm in her quarters, her favorite is
Fungus, her largest cockroach.
She's extremely raucous, uncouth, foul
mouthed and loud when she's with other Decepticons. Starscream once said to
her, "y'know, have you ever been mistaken for a male?"
"No," she replied, "have
you?" which got quite a few laughs from fellow Decepticons.
Both Claw and Starscream won't ever admit
it, but they do have a certain ... fascination for each other.
Abilities: In eagle mode, her claws can tear through just about
anything. Her vision is immaculate. Nothing escapes her eagle eyes. They can
also function as powerful optical lasers. In robot mode, her arms can act as powerful
energy blasters.
Weaknesses: She's extremely greedy, and her boisterousness gets
her into trouble - especially on a sneak attack, or similar circumstance. Some
view her as brash and impulsive, and wish she was a little more ... feminine,
although they daren't say this to her, unless they want their faces clawed off!
'Feminine' just isn't in her vocabulary. Claw is scared that her attraction to
Starscream will get her into trouble if the other Decepticons found out. She
doesn't think she'll be able to live down the humiliation! She doesn't have any
friends among the Decepticon ranks. Most of them don't quite know what to make
of her. This upsets her and she sometimes feels lonely. She hopes no one finds
out about her pet insects either!

DYNASTY (Female)
ALLEGIANCE: UNICRON
FUNCTION:
DESTRUCTION/DOMINATION
"The Universe will falter; None but the
followers of Unicron will survive."
Profile: Evil, thy name is Dynasty. As evil and cruel as her creator, Unicron. She'll destroy planets, kill men, women and children. She will crush underfoot anything who stands in her way of the will fo her father. Nothing makes her squeamish. She finds League's attempts to stop her amusing. The death of her sister at League's hand did not phase her, emotionally - only made her angry that she has to do all the work on her own. However, League did take care of the problem of eliminating her sister when Unicron's reign was supreme. And Destiny's death brought to her attention that League is
Abilities: In
cruiser mode she's sturdy, fast and maneuverable. Her firepower is great in both modes. Has no fuel consumption as she is powered by

Not quite as evil as her sister, though Destiny has no problem with
killing and destruction. She the fact
her sister is stronger, smarter and latger than her and has more favour with
Unicron. Also hates the fact that League is more intelligent than her - not
that she'll ever admit that. Acts cool
and nonchalant. Thinks League is a dag.
Carefree and not all that smart.
Vain and shallow, Destiny pays more much attention to herself than
Dynasty and Unicron would like.
Destiny's overconfidence and underestimation became her downfall. League warned that she would destroy Destiny,
however the femme fatale foolishly did not believe her. She approached the Autobot, toyed with her
gun, only to be blasted point blank in the head, killed instantly. Unicron's rage was violent., however he was
relieved that his least favourite of the two was destroyed. He deduced Destiny was a waste of time - she
seemed to care more about how white her face was than Universal Domination!
Abilities: In cruiser
mode she's fast and has good firepower.
Her arms turn into laser rifles in robot mode.
Weaknesses: Not very
strong or smart, overconfident, vain and shallow. Shows off, which is what got her killed.

SILVERTHORNÉ
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: GUNNER
"Make love, not war."
Profile: Silverthorn is possibly the most unique Decepticon one would ever encounter. He hates, fighting, violence and war. He's bored with it and wants to make something of his life. However, despite that, he's a crack shot and goes like Ramboid. He's a pathological liar and no one trusts him. When he came to Earth, he began studying the culture of humans and fell in love with the strange, yet wonderful thing they called Romance. He thought it was the sweetest thing he'd ever heard and became a hopeless romantic. None of the other Decepticons know this and he plans to keep it this way. He adores love movies, his all time favorite, being Breakfast At Tiffany's. He also loves the song by Deep Blue Something, of the same title and sings it to his soul’s desire in his heavily soundproofed room. His favourite modern romance movie Kate and Leopold. He has seen every love movie ever made, listened to every song and has a hefty collection of romance paraphernalia in his secret storage room under his quarters. He adores reading romance novels, trashy or good. He has every single one ever written stored on his computer. In fact he loves them so much, he began to write them, under the assumed name of Sweet Pea. His novels were a roaring success, and he became very rich. He has no idea what he's going to do with his millions – perhaps give it to an Earth charity or somehow find some way to use it for himself and Liberté ... and he keeps writing his beloved novels, no one even suspecting a thing, or who "Sweet Pea" really is! He even called one of his dazzling heroines, Liberty ... He even changed the spelling of his own name, adding an ‘e’ onto the end of it, and accented it like Liberté’s ... He even re-constructed himself into a triple changer, to create a more romantic transforming mode. He can be as mushy as mashed potatoes. He loved Earth for showing his things – his life has meaning once more! Now of only he could find someone to love ... or het her to notice him!
When he saw the renegade ex Decepticon Liberté fighting for freedom, he fell madly in love with her. He knows she's hell bent on her mission, to free all, but he's convinced he can make her come around and at least see that he’s genuine ... and to teach her she needs to love herself above all and take time to nurture herself and he knows just how to nurture her ;)
Silverthorné wants to leave the war with her, and help her understand she needs to help herself before she can help others – and two freedom fighters are better than one!
Abilities: Silverthorné's quick, witty and agile. One of his transforming modes is a large, heavy duty machine gun. Capable of firing 10 000 rounds of armour piercing bullets per minute. He's durable in this mode, but hates it. It's not very romantic. His other mode, which he created himself, is a single, black rose. His thorns are poisonous, if he decides to secrete the poison. He's very inconspicuous in this mode, and he has used it for spying ..also for courting Liberté. .
Weaknesses: Quite often, he's too caught up in romance, to realise there's a war going on. "All's fair in love and war," he says, but it could get him into serious trouble if any of the other Decepticons find out about his passion – and his adoration for Liberté. He also gets depressed when Liberté rejects him, locks himself in his quarters and won't come out, although he understands her reasons and is sure she’ll come about, however he’s incredibly impatient. He’s also scared he will lose her – either she will reject him outright or she that will be killed in her plight. Silverthorné’s also very stubborn, which annoys his fellow Decepticons. He doesn't talk much to them, because he doesn't like or trust them, and they don't like him either, which is bad for him, particularly in a battle.

HAKUNA METATTA (Female)
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: TECHNICAL SUPPORT - CYBERTRON
"Never settle for less than what you
are capable of and never let anyone else tell you who you should be."
Profile: She is quite unique. She was created as a band of
'Earth Spy' Decepticons. There were six in total, stationed in
Under her old name, Laser Shot was she stationed
was in
Slowly she to learned about the African
humans' culture and became fascinated by it, their ways, tribes, laws, crafts,
although not much of it would benefit the Decepticons, she found it was her way
around the boredom and utter uselessness she felt. At first against her will
she befriended an old tribal leader called Shangu, who taught her more of the
African way. She knew Megatron didn't have befriending the locals in mind when
he said 'spy' on them, but this was a good a way as any to learn and she found
it fascinating, but at the same token it made her life feel more inadequate.
Shangu taught her of the Serengeti plains and told her to go there, to learn
the ways of the jungle - the ways of the wild. Laser Shot was excited to learn,
although she felt she didn't really belong here. A robot in the Earthen wild?
She even hated her dorky name. What sort of an idiot thought up the name Laser
Shot? It sounded like it came out of a cheap cyber-mart. She had come to
respect this planet.
Shangu sensed Laser Shot's doubts and fears,
and took her hand.
"Hakuna Metatta," he said.
"In your language that means 'no worries.'"
Laser Shot smiled. She had chosen a new name.
After arriving on the plains, she found the
wilds called to her. To see a flash of a spotted cheetah tackle her prey ... to
see Impalas prance gracefully though the grass, to see wart hogs frolic in the
mud ... To see a lioness rub her head against a new born cub ...
Hakuna began to gain self confidence. She
was who she made herself to be, not some inferior production line product. She
changed her standard accent to a Cape Town South African one and rather liked
how it sounded. She began to shed her old nervous self, like a snake sheds its
old shin and grew a new confident sheen. She really loved the African
Wilderness for what it had taught her, even if none of it was useful to the
Decepticons, it had been invaluable to her.
Hakuna was unexpectedly called back to the
Decepticon headquarters one afternoon, and informed of a new assignment. Part
of her did not want to leave the Serengeti, but she knew her duty called. She
thanked the wilderness for what she had learned and left, hoping someday to
return. She had detected the odd Autobot in
When she arrived at back at the Decepticon
base, Megatron informed her of her new assignment - to become Shockwave's new
assistant on Cybertron. It was a hell of a long way from the Serengeti, she
thought, but she also knew she couldn't refuse. Even though she'd miss the
African Wilderness, this was her chance to really prove herself to the
Decepticons.
Megatron noted that laser Shot seemed a lot
more confident than when he had first met her and he was impressed at that.
He'd had his doubts about her.
"Are you ready to leave, Laser
Shot?" he asked her.
"Hakuna Metatta."
"What?"
"It's my new name. Laser Shot ...
Please. It sounds like a Woolworths reject. I hope you don't mind."
Megatron wasn't sure what to say. He'd never
actually heard of any Decepticon changing their name before, but he didn't
think it really mattered what her name was.
"Fine," he said. "What
happened to your voice?"
"Oh, I changed that too. South African.
Like it?"
"It's .. different," he said,
again not really understanding what the significance was although he gathered
she had been impressed with her African assignment ... and she seemed pleased
with herself and Megatron knew a hapy warrior was a good warrior, so be it.
Hakuna arrived on Cybertron and was greeted
with a blast from Shockwave, which she narrowly avoided. She leapt onto him and
scowled. "Is that any way to treat your new second in command?"
He saw her shining Decepticon insignia.
"I apologize," he said. "I wasn't expecting a female."
Hakuna did not look impressed.
Shockwave went on hurriedly to say,
"The only femmes I know of are Autobots. Again, I apologize, Laser
Shot."
"Accepted, and it's Hakuna Metatta,
Hakuna for short."
Shockwave nodded and wished he'd been given
a more thorough briefing, feeling rather embarassed, but Laser ... Hakuna
seemed to have forgiven him.
Through working with Shockwave Hakuna grew
to like him, and feel a little sorry for him. He had no one in his life, - no
friends, no one - and she could feel his loneliness, even though he would never
admit it. Shockwave found her to be most helpful and found to his surprise he
rather grew to like her, and the more time they spent together, the more they
grew to like each other. Although she missed the Serengeti, Hakuna was glad
she'd found Shockwave. Maybe they could go there together someday. He seemed in
need of someone to care about and she was in need of someone to care for her -
someone of her own kind, but love, Shockwave thought - it's illogical, isn't
it? But he did love her, and the feeling was mutual.
Abilities: Hakuna is fast talking and quick witted. She's agile
in robot mode and in her four wheeler mode she can handle just about ant type
of terrain without losing traction. She's equipped with a laser cannon and
missiles in this mode and in robot mode carries a high impact gun.
Weaknesses: Her low self esteem used to be a major weakness, but
she is still a little afraid of looking bad or dumb in the eyes of others. She
is sometimes a little overprotective of Shockwave which annoys him, although he
knows it's only because she cares. Her "No worries" attitudes also
can annoy others. Hakuna can also be quick to judge.

BIRDIE (DARK RAVEN) (Female)
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON - EX AUTOBOT -
DECEASED
FUNCTION: WARRIOR, ESPIONAGE, ASSASSIN
"Innocence only lasts so long."
Profile: She looks sweet, beautiful and most unlike any
Decepticon one has ever seen. Her subtle pastel blue and white colours, adding
to her tranquil looks, however Birdie has shocked even Megatron with her cruel
ruthlessness. She has not one moral fibre to boot.
Even more surprising, she was created by
Optimus Prime. When he created her, he gave her the affectionate nickname
Birdie, and it just stuck. Later in life she got sick of the sweetness of the
sound and became Dark Raven.
She has quite a number of screws loose, to
say the least. She can never be sure of what she wants. She began to feel bored
with the Autobots and felt they were patronising her, however Optimus Prime was
only guilty of caring for his daughter.
He suspected nothing of her betrayal, until
a temporary Autobot headquarters was destroyed. He'd previously given Birdie a
tour, on which she had secretly planted bombs as he showed her around. Later
that day a celebration was planned to mark it's completion. Some Autobots,
including the newest member of the gang, Decibel, an instant friend of Jazz and
Blasters'. Birdie urged Optimus to join the celebration. "Come on,
Optimus," she said in her sweetest voice. "It'll be a blast..."
However he was too busy ... And shocked at
the news of the Headquarters total destruction, with all 17 Autobots inside
destroyed and irreparable. He had previously spoken to Decibel who had said
Birdie had left to find Vertigo (Another Autobot who would later join the ranks
of the Decepticons). It finally sank in when Optimus played Birdie's words back
in his mind. "It'll be a blast..."
After that, Birdie made no secret of what
she had become.
And many other Autobots have fallen under her
spell of false sweetness ... she uses it a lot to entice those who don't know
her well or regain false confidence in those who do. Few Autobots have lived to
tell the tale, including Autobot children.
It was almost impossible Optimus Prime to
believe he'd created such an evil being. He's tried numerous times to help
Birdie, to reprogram her, but to no avail.
She's constantly taunted him, knowing how
much it hurts and she enjoys it.
Kamikaze hates her with a passion and
believed she's a disgrace to the family honour and has disowned her. If Optimus
Prime hadn't pleaded him not to, Kamikaze would have killed his half sister
without a second thought. He respects Optimus Prime's feelings in the matter,
but as far as he's concerned, she's no sister of his.
He, Ironhide and Optimus' first daughter
Optima have been very supportive. Although Prime knows he'll have to make a
decision sooner or later.
When Birdie had first joined the
Decepticons, Megatron told Starscream to train her to fight. Starscream was
loathe to babysit a rookie, however Megatron's choice of words were 'She's your
responsibility. Handle her.'
And the prospect of 'handling' Birdie didn't
sound at all bad...
He took her to the shooting gallery, and was
impressed with her excellent marksman-woman? ship and asked her where she
learned to shoot like that.
Her reply, "my father taught me to
protect me from creeps like you."
With a martial arts style kick, Screamers
was flat on his back on the floor.
The only moral thing the girl ever did was
once refrain from killing her father, when she could have easily shot him in
the head. She told him he gave her life and this was merely returning the
favour, this once.
Vertigo seems to be the only one she does
care about. Being an ex-Autobot like her, he's as cruel as she is.
With great sorrow and regret, she was killed by Optimus Prime when she attempted to kill Mirage.
Abilities: She's fast and agile and carried a pulse gun in
Robot mode. She's swift as the wind in Mazda RX7 mode, top speed, 400 mph,
range 18 000 miles. She's also sneaky, cunning and devious.
Weaknesses: She's not certain of her feelings for Vertigo. Is it
love? ... She often gets headaches and gets confused about what she's doing and
her cockiness can get her into strife and even the most patient kind Autobots
have their limits ...

VERTIGO
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON - EX AUTOBOT -
DECEASED
FUNCTION: WARRIOR, SCOUT
"Life is an illusion."
Profile: He's as cruel as Birdie. Like her he is an
Ex-Autobot, with the disgruntled feelings of the under-appreciated underdog.
His bright yellow/orange colour gives him a false cheerful look. He made friends
before he turned with an Autobot called Sunbeam. They seemed inseparable -
truth was Vertigo didn't know what else to do. He seemed to be ignored, as
though he didn't exist, though he was a fixture of the Headquarters. Most of
the time he ignored Sunbeam, although made it look like he was paying
attention. He saw Birdie once or twice, and thought she was pretty, but that
was about all, until one day he saw her crying. Curious, he approached her. She
looked up at him with a start, then started to explain to him how under
appreciated she felt. Vertigo felt an instant kinship with her and not for her
ultra feminine body - and the Daughter of his leader no less. Vertigo had
hardly even seen Optimus, let alone talked to him, making him feel as though he
wasn't important enough, but he talked to no one about his feelings and let his
anger grow, not realising Optimus would have made the time to talk to Vertigo,
but Vertigo never made the time to explain himself. He took the news of
Birdie's defection with interest, not shock, horror and anger as the other
Autobots did. "Good on her..." he found himself thinking and found
the courage in him to do the same.
He left on a 'spy' mission to the Decepticon
HQ with Sunbeam and 'accidentally' got them both captured. He was a little
afraid in case the Decepticons didn't believe him. Sunbeam on the other hand
was terrified. Megatron declared that they were both to be destroyed when
Vertigo let his true intentions be known. Sunbeam wasn't sure if he was being
genuine or lying to save them both. Megatron was intrigued, but unsure. However
he remembered Birdie's defection and she had not betrayed him. Megatron
declared that he would invite Vertigo to the ranks of the Decepticons if he
would do one thing. Kill Sunbeam. Vertigo felt the smallest pang of guilt.
After all Sunbeam was the only one who had even given him the time of day, but
sacrifices had to be made. He walked to his former friend, held his gun at the
yellow Autobot's head. At this point Sunbeam realised Vertigo was serious and
tearfully begged for his life, but Vertigo gave no quarter and blasted him
point blank between his eyes. Sunbeam crumpled to the floor, dead before he
hit. Vertigo bent down and ripped the unfortunate Autobot's head off and held
it up. "Alas poor Sunbeam, I knew him well..." he said, his tone
melodramatic.
Megatron was more than convinced as the
Ex-Autobot tossed his ex-friend's head away as though it was a piece of
garbage. Birdie walked down the stairs, looking impressed. Vertigo spread his
arms. "Birdie, My Love!"
She smiled and came to him. "It's about
time," she said, taking his hand.
Needless to say Megatron was convinced with
them both.
Together they make a formidable team,
although both know their worth was only measured by what destruction they
caused and those they killed. Vertigo was killed by Kamikaze when he tried to
exact revenge for Birdie's death.
Profile: Vertigo's physically strong and his damaging waves
his body emits can disorientate, permanently cripple or even kill an enemy. he
carried a high energy blaster which pack quite a punch and in armoured vehicle
mode, his hide can take just about anything and ran through just about
anything.
Weaknesses: He's not sure how he feels about Birdie. Will she
become a burden to him? His impulsive evil also gets him into strife with the Autobots,
many wanting to put an end to the duo once and for all.

SCAVENGE
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON (DECEASED)
FUNCTION: ATTACK
"To kill is the highest state of
living."
Profile: He's psychopathic, psychotic, very dangerous and
very unpredictable. The only thing that means anything to Scavenge is crushing
some poor Autobot (or some other poor victim) between his jaws in hyena mode,
and devouring the remains. He's not worried. He's so ruthless, even the other
Decepticons get the creeps when he looks at them, like he always does, as if
he's working out the best way to kill them, with a funny little smile that has no
humour in it. He uses their fear and uneasiness to his advantage and he doesn't
have to look at someone twice. And when he laughs, everybody within hearing
range visibly shivers. He's totally cold blooded in that respect and
doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. When Scavenge first came to Earth, he
was not aligned to the Decepticons. He came alone. An Autobot saw him in Hyena
mode and feared he might be wounded or lost. Scavenge told this Autobot on no
uncertain terms to #$%& off. He'd always been a loner and felt it would
make him look weak if he accepted help from others. The Autobot realised
something wasn't quite right with this guy and explained to him that he could
help. Scavenge didn't like this at all and let the Autobot know about it, by
leaping on him and ripping the poor, unfortunate Autobot to pieces - literally
and found he thoroughly enjoyed it, seeing the blood, hearing the Autobot's
painful screams ... and found he rather liked ripping apart other life forms on
this planet too. He found it gave him a sense of power. And he began to kill
more Autobots. He'd actually attacked, Tempest, a neutral Transformer, who had
been strong enough to inflict painful damage on him, but not before he severely
damaged Tempest. The Autobots found Tempest, due to his signal, and took him
back to their headquarters to repair. Tempest really wasn't with it, slipping
in and out of consciousness, having conversations with people who weren't
there. The Autobots managed to repair him, and now that the "thing"
had damaged one of Destroyer's "wolf pack' so to speak, Destroyer and
Slipstream had agreed to help the Autobots hunt the creature down. The
Decepticons got hold of Scavenge and asked him to join them. Since the Autobots
were on his trail, Decepticon headquarters provided a safe shelter which he was
only too happy for, although he didn't admit that. He only works alone, hates
everyone and the other Decepticons know it and stay out of his way. He's
extremely vindictive, vengeful and cruel. He's fascinated by Earth animals and
can spend hours watching them, but it doesn't stop him from ripping them to
shreds if he feels like it. He stays in hyena mode most of the time, as he's
not nearly as menacing looking or lethal in robot mode. Suffice it to say, he's
one nasty dude!
Scavenge was later killed by Soundwave (who
blasted him point-blank the head and had his parts smelted), when he tried to
kill Megatron.
Abilities: In hyena mode, his jaws are incredibly strong. He can
crush just about anything without too much bother. Once he's got a hold,
there's nothing in the Universe that can get him off. He's good at patrolling
and scouting. He blends into outside earth landscape rather well, as in hyena
mode, he doesn't look much like a robot. He's fast and agile in hyena mode and
often enemies don't know what's on then until it's too late.
Weaknesses: He has a real fear of water, as it gets into his
circuits and gives him a very unpleasant feeling. He despises rain. And is terrified
if the Autobots attack Decepticon undersea headquarters that he'll get wet. He
can often laugh to himself when he sees an unsuspecting Autobot, which can give
him away. When he's tearing someone or something apart, he gets totally
engrossed in what he's doing and it leaves him vulnerable to attack. The other
Decepticons refuse to have anything to do with him, as they don't trust him or
like him at all and if he needs their help, that's tough ... and now it doesn't
matter, 'cos he's dead, Jim.

NIGHT BREEZE
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: ESPIONAGE/WARRIOR/INTERROGATION
"Confusion is more satisfying than all
out war - and it's fun too."
"What I meant was, that you know what I
mean. You know what I mean?"
Profile: Night Breeze gets on quite well with Astrotrain. He
loves confusing everyone. Any chance he gets he'll say something just to
confuse someone else, just for the heck of it, and to challenge others
deductive abilities, perhaps by contradicting something he's said or something
someone else has said or giving extremely cryptic clues. Night Breeze despises
being straightforward. When the other is suitably confused, or mislead, Night
Breeze considers his work done and he gets a good laugh out of it. If captured
by the Autobots, he'll tell them everything, but nothing and confuse the hell
out of them, then sit there and laugh and they won't get another word out of
him. He was once captured, offered no resistance and chatted to the Autobots in
a friendly manner making everything cryptic and breaking into fits of laughter,
which both amused and confused the Autobots. When Optimus Prime finally asked
him when Megatron's next attack was, he said, "oh, it'll be the darkest
hour, I assure you. Oh so scary night, before the Solstice tree goes up."
And he grinned. And then Night Breeze started saying sleepy Earth Nursery
Rhymes and singing certain well known ballads. And the Autobots started to
think he was loopy. Optimus Prime wondered why he thought it was worthwhile to
capture this one - he wasn't telling them anything - useful. He tried futilely
again to ask Night Breeze when the attack was. "Have you looked under your
resting ledge?" Night Breeze had said. "You might find something you
lost and didn't know. Don't let the bed bugs bite ... I said, under the
bed....Now I rhyme like Wheelie..." And he cracked up laughing. "I
haven't told you anything - I've told you everything." And the he
began to laugh again, so hard, tears ran down his cheeks.
Despite his kind nature, Optimus Prime was coming close to blasting this Decepticon, but after a while, let him go, convinced that Night Breeze was either an complete nutter or one smart cookie. Just out of interest, and curiosity, Optimus Prime looked under his resting ledge and found a disk, which surprised the hell out of him when he found it contained the Decepticon's battle plans. They planned to attack on the dawn of Halloween, dawn being the darkest hour and Halloween, October 31 (In the Northern Hemisphere) being the scary night before the Solstice (December 21). Night Breeze had indeed told him everything. Optimus smiled to himself at the lunacy of the whole thing. The Autobots fought off the Decepticons and Night Breeze was half angry at being figured out and half pleased. And quite pleased the Decepticons had no knowledge of how the Autobots found out! That would be an oh so scary night, he surmised!
Night Breeze is an opportunist - any
opportunity that comes his way is immediately taken advantage of. He's friendly
enough, but tends to stay a loner. Anyone who talks to him is constantly
baffled to what he's driving at if anything at all, succeeds in driving everyone
up the wall though!
Above all, he dislikes war. "Someone
could get hurt," as he says, and no one knows whether he really means that
or if he's being sarcastic. He also loves to fly around alone at night,
particularly on crisp winter nights, or hot summer nights. He would rather be
creating intricate cryptic, misleading schemes and challenges than fighting a
war. He loves those impossible cryptic newspaper puzzles! He adores
those impossible metal puzzles and he's a Sudoku nut!
Abilities: In bat mode, he emits high pitched squeaks, which
when sustained, make it extremely hard for the enemy to think straight as it
paralyses their mind temporarily. Night Breeze has a very quick mind. His fangs
in bat mode are sharp and his eye lasers are strong and accurate.
Weaknesses: He's not overly intelligent apart from his cryptic creations and he's not a very good fighter. He also gets upset when he can't think of a good confusion scheme or a cryptic clue. Also his confusing ways anger other Decepticons and make him unpopular. He gets upset when there's no one left to confuse. A lot of the time the other Decepticons just won't talk to him or threaten him if he tried to mislead them.
