Motto: How am I going to explain this to my wife?

Bio: No longer the over exuberant Kitten of the Beast Wars, or even the budding leader of the War of the Spark, Cheetor has matured into a fine states man and leader.

His beast mode offers cheetah-like speed, agility and endurance. Sharp, powerful claws and jaws. Robot mode has enhanced, frictionless body surface that causes energy pulses to glide right off. When used with highly advanced stealth armor, he's virtually invisible to every known radar or tracking system. Hits his target before they know it. New armor includes vicious dual blade sword attack that makes all Vehicons keep their distance in battle.

When Cybertron was transported into orbit around Earth, things went to the Pit and Cheetor set out to see what he could do to bring order. When Cheetor was off to hunt down either the current Pred leadership several bots ambushed him and attempted to catnap him hitting him with a mix of stuff that is supposed to render him harmless. But things don't quite work right and the drugs didn't take hold until after he escaped. He ran for a bit then droped in pain as the chemicals rewrote his code

Or at least that is what she thinks.

In truth, Cheetara is a by-product of a drive by Enhancing, but she is not in fact Cheetor. When Cheetor was hit with the cocktail meant to sedate him instead gave him an adrenaline jolt that allowed him to escape. After running a short ways the mix began to take effect causing massive nanite replication that at first swelled him to an improbable size before he split in two, his normal form and a female form. Male Cheetor was picked up by the cat-nappers while the female was over looked as she was laying sprawled in the gutter wearing Cheetor’s pre-Beast Wars body.

When she came to she was noticeable shocked at being female as well as being in such an old form.

Abilities: Connection to the Oracle, Reflexes are over clocked and capable of defecting bullets,

Weakness: Suffers form shifts through Cheetor’s various forms, Prefers the TM look over the others.

Notes:
Future plans: have her either taking a whole new form or settling into TM mode.

[Cryptic]

Oh and if any one was wondering about Charecter count; Normal Cheetor will drop to NPC status while Cheetara is in play.

Got some new characters to get involved.

Name: Sandstorm
Allegiance: Autobot
Function: Nomad
Primary Weapon: Claws
Alternate Mode: Bat/Coyote
Strength: 06
Endurance: 07
Intelligence: 09
Courage: 10
Speed: 08
Firepower: 03
Skill: 09
Motto: "I shall roam this whole planet if I must to find what I am searching for."
Bio: In the years following the Great Reformatting, the Autobot Sandstorm found that he had been reincarnated upon a Cybertron he no longer recognized. For a time he became the guardian of a group of Cybertronians wandering the Silicon Wastes, but when the group found a new refuge under the protection of DevaCorp, he once again found himself lacking a purpose. He wanders the wilds of technorganic Cybertron, searching for a meaning to his new existence.
Abilities: True to his name, he has the ability to whip up a whirlwind of sand, which can obscure an enemy's vision or assault them with silicon particles. He is also highly agile and can dodge some attacks. His beast modes both possess a sonic attack that can disrupt communications equipment.
Weakness: Lately, he tends to brood quite a bit. His melancholy attitude hinders his fighting spirit and ability.

*****

Name: Megatron III
Allegiance: Rogue
Function:
Primary Weapon: Claws, Teeth, Fire Breath
Alternate Mode: Wyvern
Strength: 07
Endurance: 07
Intelligence: 10
Courage: 06
Speed: 06
Firepower: 08
Skill: 08
Motto: "Knowledge is power, greater than any weapon."
Bio: A blank protoform combined with the AI of Megabolt Megatron, a clone of the former Vehicon commander Megatron, to create a new being. This being named itself "Morlock" at first, and seemed to be only a simple creature, capable of only broken speech. As time went on, Morlock's intelligence seemed to increase, but this was actually the result of the long process of assimilating the massive amount of data contained in Megabolt's memory files. When this was complete, Morlock altered his own form with the DNA of a fire-breathing wyvern. With his new form he also took a new name: Megatron. Megatron seems oddly different from most others who claim the name, in that he doesn't seem to be interested in conquest or combat. His true goals remain ambiguous. He has a quiet alliance with DevaCorp, allowing occasional inspections of his lab in exchange for donations of tech equipment and supplies.
Abilities: Megatron is highly knowledgeable in the spark extraction and modification technology as well as various mechanical enhancements. The time he spent observing Cephala's research has given him a surprisingly extensive knowledge of technorganic biology as well.
Weakness: Megatron has no specific weaknesses.

*****

Name: Tera
Allegiance: Predacon
Function: Duchess of Destruction
Primary Weapons: Scimitar, Plasma Blasts
Alternate Mode: Gargoyle
Strength: 9
Endurance: 7
Intelligence: 5
Courage: 8
Speed: 5
Firepower: 7
Skill: 8
Motto: "You WILL respect my strength."
Bio: Tera is the heir of the Predacon leader Gigatron. Like Salsa and Wingnut, Tera was caught up in the incident that caused a riot and resulted in Deva mass gender-bending all the participants. As a female, Tera fervently denies that she ever had a desire to be changed in this way, but some evidence suggests otherwise. Her aggressive demeanor might be seen as masculine overcompensation, but in all likelihood she just happens to be that way naturally.
She is keenly intent on living up to her role as Gigatron's heir, and hopes that one day she will become recognized enough to change her name to Teratron. With few opportunities to prove her strength and skill in battle, she is considering a political career instead. She maintains friendship ties to the children of her father's crew, including Salsa, Wingnut, Amphibitron, and Skybyte Jr. She has also adopted the age-regressed members of the Ruination gestalt team.
Abilities: Tera is physically powerful and has honed her combat skills through a lifetime of training. She has the ability to fire powerful blasts of plasma energy in both robot and beast mode. Her wings allow her to fly in either mode.
Weakness: Since becoming female, Tera's rampant denial of her feminine side has made her rather emotionally unstable (though her prior stability is also questionable).

General Purpouse NPC's

Name: Sharkicons 2.0
Allegiance: themselves
Function:
Primary Weapon: Claws, Teeth, other weapons vary
Alternate Mode: TM-2 style shark beast

Strength: Varies, Generally 6
Endurance: Varies, Generally 7
Intelligence: 2 or lower
Courage: Varies, Generally 7
Speed: 4 (land) 8 (liquid)
Firepower: Varies, Generally 5
Skill: Varies

Bio:
Created over the millena after the quintessons where forced off of Cybertron by their formers slaves, the sharkicons where the ideal enforcers of the Quintessons will. Massive, Powerfully Built, and Virtually Brainless, the various species served as laborers, guards, and executioners. Near the close of the great war, with decepticons forces scattered offworld, the Quitnessons made multiple attempts to re-secure their lost 'prize', finally culminating in a full scale invasion attempt. While the Majority of their ships, brimming with the executor sharkticons, where destroyed long before gaining orbit, a few did land, however without their masters to guide them, the beasts merely charged to their doom. It was thought they where all destroyed. Unfortunately, that was not the truth.

Over the ages that past there where whispers of devils in the darkness and narrow escapes, however these where dismissed as coincidence and overactive imaginations, even with disapearances reported in some of the lower levels. It wasn't until Megatron had taken control of Cybertron that the cause became clear... Surviving Sharkticons had escaped into the radioactive sewer system wich closely resembled their home, and quickly set up shop. Faced with a much larger threat than the maximals, Megatron's response was simple: gas the infested sewers with his Virus, seal them off and restrict access by his drones. It wasn't clear how well it worked... until after the Reformatting.

Primus's energies not only swept the surface... but every where, including the Sewers, Reformatting these dark spawns into something more than mere guard dogs for the quintessons.
Now posessing Transmetal 2-styled bodies, they stalk the subterranian depths of Cybertron in packs, dripping of Radioactive ooze that still linger in the sewer system, hunting for any prey that may enter their territory.

Abilities:
sharkticons, though prefering energon, can sustain themselves on nearly any substance, digesting it into energon. This gives them an insatiable apetite

Though their bodies often differ in ways, a constant in their Shark Beast mode, they are armed with several rows of serrated teeth and razor-sharp claws wich can cut through solid titatium, as well as a powerful tail.

Their robot modes varry as well, some still armed with a maceration laser that shoots salt based corrosive liquid and a tail mace. While, like the current 'cheif' called Gnaw, some are armed with a giant claw formed from their beast-modes tail.

Weakness:
Sharkticons are severly lacking in the ways of intellegance.
Because of this, they can suffer frightening losses in combat before they even realize it. This is not a problem when they are facing one foe, but against a powerful force, even their destructive ability can be diminished.

Their insatiable hunger can also be a hinderance.

As with their ancestors, their pack mentality often leaves them to following the strongest in the pack. When faced with one who is stronger than the 'alpha', they have been known to instinctully switch allegiances once sufficient force has been displayed.

[autobotbubbs]

Name: Gnaw
Allegiance: Sharkticons
Function: Pack Alpha
Primary Weapon: Claws, Teeth, left forearm rotary blade,
Alternate Mode: TM-2 style shark beast

Strength: 8
Endurance: 9
Intelligence: 3
Courage: 8
Speed: 4 (land) 8 (liquid)
Firepower: 6
Skill: 7
Motto: " All is prey "

Bio:
It is unsure just how Gnaw became the 'alpha', or the commander of a Pack of Sharkicons wich swarm the sewers of Cybertron. What is known is that he should not be underestimated to be merely a sharkiton who's bigger than the others.

Abilities:
As with the other sharkticons, Gnaw can sustain himself on nearly any substance, digesting it into energon, and posesses an insatiable apetite.

His beast mode is that of a bipedal transmetal-2 Shark beast. In Shark mode he is armed with several rows of serrated teeth, razor-sharp foreclaws, and clawed feet, all of wich can cut through solid titatium, as well as a powerful Rotary tail wich can swiftly propell him through the sewer sludge.

In his robot mode, his primary weapon is the giant claw formed from their beast-modes tail that becomes his left arm. He also has serrated teeth and claws. His central spark chamber seems to have consumed an abundance of radiation... thus giving him a limited ability to fire bursts of toxic energy from his chest. He also posesses strength greater than the other sharkticons.

Weakness:
Like with the others, limited Intellegance and his insatiable hunger are his greatest weaknesses.

[jadefallon]

Name: Jadecrusher
Allegiance: Neo-Autobots/Deva Corp
Function: Massive Assault Warrior
Primary Weapon: Large 2-Handed Broadsword, Napalm Launcher
Alternate Mode: Komodo Dragon
Strength: 8
Endurance: 7
Intelligence: 5
Courage: 7
Speed: 8
Firepower: 8
Skill: 8
Motto: "The alterations on my body mean nothing. The alterations on my friends though mean everything."

Bio: A former autobot veteran, Jadecrusher surprisingly ended up working for Deva Corp in her later years as a security officer for one of their many ships. Despite this, she found the job relaxing, if not a bit boring at times... and ended up growing close to her fellow coworkers. Unfortunately for her and her teammates, they were located on the same ship that was attacked by the Neo Seacons and ultimately crashed into the Rangers own ship. Jade and the others did what they could to cushion the blow for all three ships, but this ultimately resulted in a rupturing of their cargo...
As a result of this, Jade was exposed to enhancers along with the rest of the crews... she was thrown free of the wreckage by the crash and was left weakened by the resulting changes by enhancers. She managed to return to the outskirts of the wrecks just in time to see Halfshell convert her teammates into Seacons, using his limited abilities gained by his own enhancer exposure. Unfortunately, Jade was left too week by her own enhancer changes to rescue her friends, as the enhancers caused her to slowly shift first into a male, then into a hulking transmetal-like figure of a cybertronian.
Since then, he has been skulking through the jungles of Betra-5, attempting to find the members of the third crew involved in the crash. If anything, they can at least be a help in rescuing his friends...
Abilities: As a result of the enhancers involved in the crash, Jadecrusher has enhanced strength and endurance. He is also capable of transforming into a secondary vehicle mode due to these changes, taking the form of an armored jeep hybrid form. His enlarged size has come with enhanced armor as well, allowing him to take much damage without internal injuries. Jade is one of the few Neo-Autobots that can match trypticon in size without using a transector or combining with other members of the party.
Weakness: Jadecrusher is still adapting to the new changes in his body due to the massive exposure to enhancers. This is especially true when it comes to others coming onto himself, as he is still trying to figure which gender he finds himself attracted to. In addition, he has a tendency to abandon his role as a transport when his allies are in danger. This often leads to said teammates being thrown off as he transforms into bot mode. XD

Name: Nighthunter
Allegiance: Horrorcons
Function: Assassin
Primary Weapon: Energy Absorbtion Touch, Energy Blasts
Alternate Mode: hooded cobera
Strength: 4
Endurance: 9
Intelligence: 8
Courage: 6
Speed: 9
Firepower: 2
Skill: 8
Motto: Time means nothing to me.

Bio: One of the many Protoform Projects, Nighthunter was an attempt at working with several forms of unstable energon found post the War of the Spark era. This specific energon seemed to have a weird energy transferring effect that left those afflicted with it at different ages. Despite this, he managed to avoid Rampage and Scaley's rampage upon the lab that fateful night by grabbing a scientist and sucking him dry, allowing him to hide in a vent in a childlike form. Growing angry over time after this incident due to his infliction, Night started hunting who he could find of those involved in the lab.
Some time after this, he came into contact with Czar who offered a chance at revenge on his experimenters in exchange for working for the Neo-Decepticons. Since then he has become a viable warrior in Czar's group, often utilizing his abilities to take out potential threats as Czar built up his army. Ironically, despite not going through the same process as the others, Nighthunter has become considered as an honorary horrorcon due to his unique abilities. It remains to be seen if Czar can do anything to fix his affliction, though Nighthunter doesn't really seem to be too concerned with that at the moment.
Abilities: Nighthunter is capable of absorbing energy from others, causing them to temporarily prematurely age as a result of the loss of energy. In a shocking twist, this absorbed energy rejuvenates Nighthunter himself, causing him to regress in response to the amount of energy he has absorbed. This gives him a great deal of endurance over time, as the energy helps to maintain his current state when dealing with attacks. He is also capable of projecting this energy offensively.
Weakness: Nighthunter's main weakness is keeping a proper balance in his energies. Too little energy leaves him weak and feeble, while an absorption of too much energy leaves himself into too young of a state to be an effective fighter. In addition, if he reaches the much younger stages of his life, he loses the ability to effectively project energy offensively... which often forces him to wait out the use of this excess energy. In addition, his absorption abilities are uncontrollable much like Rogue's.

Name: Battlerack
Allegiance: CRF
Function: Avatar of Justice
Primary Weapons: Axe Gunblade, Sword Gunblade, Dual Pistols, Buster Cannon
Alternate Mode:Formerly Helicopter; Now Transmetal Sawfish with secondary Helicopter form
Strength: 8
Endurance: 7
Intelligence: 9
Courage: 6
Speed: 4
Firepower: 7
Skill: 9
Motto: "I can kick your ass at any age, so get in line."
Bio: Battlerack has been one of the maximal's deepest darkest secrets for the last hundred megacycles of his life. An avatar of Primus created during cybertron's darkest hour, Battlerack was a proven defender of the weak and downtrodden of either side of the war. He was one of the first to see that this constant war really had no meaning and so attempted many times to form truces between his brothren. As a result of this, several corrupt Autobot senators used an experimental technology that could be considered the predecessor of the enhancer technology to capture and imprison Battlerack secretively. Other technology put in play blocked the young warrior from even primus and Seria's abilities of extradimensional sight, which left battlerack with little hope of rescue.
Despite this, the government used the Avatar of primus to some extent, allowing him some freedom in continuing his combat teachings in exchange for training the next generation of cybertronian warriors. This continued for some time, even as far as the age of the Beast Machines... as Battlerack grew accepting of his new position. Despite this, a small glitch in the technology used to hold Battlerack during some unique temporal fluxes on cybertron allowed Primus to locate his former avatar, who then commissioned the Enhancer-jutsu warrior Nachos and his friends in the CRF to rescue his fallen avatar. Requesting Backbeat and Stompbox for backup, Nachos broke into the building to free the old fogey, as well as two others he knew deserved rescue.
This rescue attempt was successful thanks to the CRF, and Battlerack was released from his captives. To prevent recapture, Battlerack went through a number of enhancer treatments which both restored him to a young man as well as converting him into a transmetal techno-organic sawfish. In a way, he has become a father figure for nachos, who doesn't really mind this that much despite his protests.
Abilities: Battlerack is highly trained in a number of weapons style and martial arts. He is one of the few people on the planet without enhancer-jutsu training capable of dealing with the effects of this fighting style with grace, with the exception of age progressing enhancers. In addition, he is also trained in a number of engineering skills, allowing him to kitbash a weapon should he be disarmed with little resources. In addition, Battlerack has a complex opinion on the morality of several situations which makes him an excellent companion in battle for Nachos. Battlerack has recently started learning enhancer-jutsu as well, hoping to overcome his fears.
Weakness: Battlerack can be startled by the threat of being elderly again, despite his fighting prowess at that age. In many ways, it reminds him of imprisonment and can cause irrational behavior as a result due to the fact his original captors took advantaged of his weakened body in a vicious assault. This does sometimes cause him to take enhancers on occasion when teased about his age, though Nachos is always sure to give him the temporary kind to keep him from making the same mistakes as Nachos' genetic sister. In addition due to his experiences, Battlerack has a tendency to stand back and not act directly at times fearing retribution.

[infusion]

Name: Deathwish
Otherwise known as: Protoform Y
Allegiance: None (The brotherhood of shadows)
Function: Sleeper Agent
Primary Weapon: Long curved Katana
Alternate Mode: Metallic Evolved Lemming, Cybertronian Attack Bike, Crude imitations of just about anything.
Motto: "....We are Y...."

Strength: 6
Endurance: 7 + Nanite Regeneration
Intelligence: 2
Courage: 7
Speed: 8
Firepower: 7
Skill: 10

Bio: Deathwish was a subject in the eternia project and is known as Protoform Y to his creators, brothers and sisters. He was an experiment with Nanites, powerful machines the size of a atom that can carry out simple tasks set by their host. However a direct link between the spark and the numerous Nanites too complicated and draining task for a Spark to handle and instead the scientists were forced to downsize there function. Merely to being able to put together and break apart matter.

It is said due to his timid nature that he was merely a chew toy to the other protoforms and Deathwish went along with this, never showing resentment towards any of them. Possibly an effect of being seemingly Undieing but also this would contribute to information on a after effect made by the nanites. For unknown reasons Deathwish was prone to fits of extreme depression and constantly made efforts to end himself, none of which were very successful.

All the information on Nanite technology created by those of the eternia project was destroyed when Protoform X went on a rampage and murdered the residence of the space station. After being carted around in a stasis pod for many cycles Deathwish was eventually released, only to find himself all alone....

X and Z's death were printed all over the news boards, infact the only reason he was released was because the two tyrants no longer lived for him to side with and pressure from many to allow certain victims their rights. However this left Y no one to turn to and eventually he would disappear into hiding as this made him a very vulnerable target as well.

He would later resurface in a new form soon after X and Z's rebirth and Union. Every single Organic part of his body was replaced with Metal and his personality had turned emotionless and cold. It was now that he would begin killing random innocents and hunting down targets for the Brotherhood. Because of this much fear and restlessness has grown around him, quickly becoming a figure that stands by the cybertronian way, the metal way.

Strengths: A unflinching unhesitating machine, he doesn't stop he doesn't sleep he only lives to keep moving forward. He retains his ability to rebuild himself atom by atom and by reducing himself to one single kind of material he has saved himself a large quantity of energy from repairs. He can control his evolved Nanites almost entirely, leaving much to be seen of his abilities and gives him many tools for escape and pursuit. He is able to use his nanites as an invisible force, able to push or pull things without even touching them. *For example he is known to attack his enemies with a hail of metalic spikes from Lemming Mantle*

Although the more force required the more energy exerted and the death of his Nanites causes him pain. He also uses them to infiltrate Cybertronian minds, usually once they are immobile allowing him to pick through the information and take secrets that would otherwise have been taken to the grave. This however being when he is most vulnerable.

He is able to Immitate the form other objects but not to exact detail which if look upon by a keen eye or a case of spot the difference it would only take an instant for him to be noticed otherwise this ability is useful for blending into the scenery.
Another variation of this ability however is much more accurate, where deathwish can assume the identity of any of his victims from scanning the remains and scans made earlier. He can also scan the memory files for added information for him to use aslong as they aren't damaged or deteriated.

Although he carries no projectiles weapons in his frame (to conserve energy) he does however have access to a secret stash of unmarked brotherhood weaponry such as sniper rifles, handguns and explosive charges.

Weakness: Crowds, as a hitman of sorts it is not good for him to be found out before he has time to take out his target. However he will brave the crowd if there is no other way. Raw energon or any other kind of either unstable or extremely high density or energy going through his circuits will literally fry his nanites to dust. Extreme changes in temperature mess with his Nanite's capabilities however given time they can adjust.
