And here is the first of my submissions!
Also, can’t believe I forgot this, but what colour are you having energon be in your world? Blue? Purple? Pink? Differing colours or just some other unnamed one?
Name: Chops
Homeworld:
Faction: Autobot
Appearance: Somewhere in-between these two:
Just without this fellows more car based aspects, and this fellows head:
And wearing a lime-green and purple colour scheme. (With purple as the main and lime the accent.)
When in his robot form his back propeller and its hub disconnect to form into his falcon, Smokestack, and his two secondary propellers retract into his forearms. Allowing him to extend them as either up to five separate knives per arm, or a sort of small, spinning ‘saw’ shield.
Alt-mode(s): Eurocopter X3 hybrid helicopter
Weapons, abilities, and equipment: Chops secondary propellers can act as either up to 5 extendable knives per arm, or as a pair of small, spinning saw-esque shields.
Along with this he can convert both of his hand into standard Cybertronian blasters, though their power is decreased noticeably when both are in use as such.
His back propeller and hub can also disconnect when he is in his robot-mode. Transforming into his ‘pet’. A mechanimal-esque falcon named Smokestack that can act independent of Chops orders.
Smokestack has three main abilities.
The first is it’s level of sentience. While nowhere near enough to be considered sapient Smokestack’s is more than enough to give the falcon a very intelligent mind when it comes to acting outside of Chops control.
Despite this Smokestack is still far from a separate being to Chops. While intelligent, and able to act as a separate entity Smokestack is still connected to, and given life by Chops’ spark. It just somehow allowed for the falcon to be it’s own self too.
Second is Smokestack’s ability to ‘share’ it’s body with Chops, allowing him to either take temporary full control, or share sight. This makes Smokestack an invaluable help when it comes to scouting areas.
Smokestack can also record small amounts of what it see’s when Chops is not, or cannot be connected.
Thirdly is where Chops inspiration for Smokestack’s name came from. Smokestack has the ability to overheat it’s body to extremely high levels and then vent that heat as a large smokescreen that covers wherever it fly’s.
Bio: Smokestack was ‘born’ before Megatron’s war
During it he was originally a mercenary. Offering his skills in both combat and spying/large scale scouting to whoever had the Shanix to pay him with, before converting to the Autobots side once he realized just how dangerous the Decepticons and their rule would be if they won.
Since then he’s been a loyal member of the Autobot resistance, and, while hesitant to give the Decepticons even the smallest grain of trust even with their current situation he was quick to offer himself as one of the crew to help recover their kinds last hope. Even if it was mainly to keep his eyes on the Decepticons that came along.
