Skywarp

 "Heat seeking missiles... seek heat!


Name: Skywarp
Allegiance:  Decepticon 
Function: Warrior
Motto: "Strike when the enemy isn't looking."

Profile: Skywarp is the sneakiest of the Decepticons. On Cybertron he was known to appear out of nowhere in the middle of peaceful Autobot villages to rain terror and destruction upon them, if the mood hit him. He'll even use his teleportation powers to play a prank on a fellow Decepticon. Everyone enjoys this except the butt of his joke since Skywarp's sense of humour tends to be rather cruel and physically abusive. Skywarp isn't too smart and would be totally useless without the supervision of Megatron.

Abilities: Skywarp can reach a top speed of 1500 mph. But what makes him unique is his ability to instantly teleport himself a maximum distance of 2.5 miles. He also carries a heat-seeking missile launcher and a variable-calibre machine gun.

Weaknesses: Skywarp's control of the accuracy of his teleportation power diminishes as the distance he teleports increases. As a result, if he's not too careful, he's likely to crash into things when he arrives at where he's teleporting. Not being too bright doesn't help him avoid these accidents either.

Strength: 7; Intelligence: 4; Speed: 9; Endurance: 7; Rank: 5; Courage: 8; Firepower: 7; Skill: 7

Tracks

"If it weren't for me you'd be fricasseed punk right now!" Name: Tracks Allegiance: Autobot Function: Warrior Motto: "Looking good is what life is all about." Profile: "Lousy Earth-lover," is one of the nicer epithets used by some of Tracks' comrades to describe his behaviour. After all, he makes no secret of the fact that he prefers the sleek and classy Earth form given to him by the Ark over his original robot form. If the war didn't require him to sometimes revert to his Autobot form, he might stay a car all the time. He attributes his fellow Autobots' criticism to jealousy on their part - they don't look as good as he does in vehicular form, he reasons. But their displeasure stems from a more serious consideration. They feel the struggle against the Decepticons should be Tracks' prime concern, not his own looks. Vanity can blind anybody to the truth, even a robot. Abilities: In vehicular mode, Tracks can reach spe...

Windcharger

"Remind me to discuss your definition of fun some time!" Name: Windcharger Allegiance: Autobot Function: Warrior Motto: "Quick action equals quick victory." Profile: Windcharger is the fastest Autobot of them all - for short distances. He can go from 0 to 60 mph in automobile mode in almost no time whatsoever, and that makes him useful in certain situations requiring very fast, very decisive action. His personality is similar: what Windcharger decides he decides immediately. He glances at something and moves, seldom bothering to ask questions. This may be because his attention span isn't particularly long. He becomes instantly enthusiastic and a few hours later loses interest. His impatience often diminishes his usefulness in lengthy, complex courses of action. Abilities: In robot mode, Windcharger's arms act as the positive and negative poles of a magnet. He can cast powerful magnetic fields at distances up to 700 feet. He can levitate a 10-ton b...

MoDel - Model-002 MP-13 Soundwave Upgrade Kit

MoDel - Model-002 MP-13 Soundwave Upgrade Kit The Hasbro edition of Soundwave was my first Masterpiece Transformer, given to me as a gift many years ago. It was and is a great figure, particularly given the inclusion of five of Soundwave's cassettes when the Takara release included just one. Identical in almost every way, the only thing that ever bothered me was Hasbro's decision to give its version toy accurate yellow eyes rather than cartoon accurate red eyes. When he was the only figure in my collection it wasn't such a big deal, but once I obtained the entire season one Decepticon line-up, Soundwave just looked out of place. Previous mod kits have been of little use as they required you to disassemble the head, something rendered very difficult by the glue holding it together. In fact, it was very likely to break as the tabs inside the head were easy to cut when trying to use a craft knife to slice through the glue (not to mention the obvious external damage caused...
