AUTOBOT™
FLUX™
FUNCTION: When?
"Everything changes, why not me?" |
|
Often known as "hobbybot", Flux is always doing something different. When there are no battles to fight or duties to perform, he is in his quarters learning a new hobby of some sort. Most of the other bots fear his hobby phases since they know they will surely end up with some horrible trinket as a result. During his woodworking phase, there was not a bot on base without a new piece of furniture, whether they needed it or not. To compliment his ever changing interests, Flux has the rare power of shape-shifting. He can alter his shape to anything he wants. In a mischievous mood, he has been known to take female form and trick 'Cons into giving him valuable information. One drawback to this ability is that his molecular structure and character attributes remain unchanged. If he were to pretend to be a pillow, one would have a hard time laying on him comfortably. As well as strength and speed, his voice also remains unchanged, so he has a pretty hard time playing the old female trick on the bots. Most of the time, he remains in one of his two given shapes: a Dodge Neon automobile and corresponding robot mode.
His armaments are relatively limited. Besides a small sidearm laser pistol, his main weapon is widely known as "The Scrambler". The Scrambler is a small projectile that has ultra hard and sharp titanium-carbide, diamond serrated tips known to pierce armor and force fields up to level 9. Once the projectile has pierced the victims shell, it deploys a blade and propulsion system that immediately spins at about 5000rpm, quickly "scrambling" all the internal components within a 2 foot diameter space. The main limitation to this weapon is that it is only useful at close range due to the slow air speed needed to penetrate force fields and skill needed to hit the target in the right place to cause the most damage.
As for his function, Flux is usually used in espionage and spy missions because of his shape-shifting ability.
Flux is the founder of the Cybertronian Conference, a gathering of Transformers and their human fans where discussion of anything related to Transformers takes place. His administrative capacities of this conference have required him to develop new weapons, which he keeps in subspace and uses only when absolutely necessary. The "Killfiler" has the power to nullify Transformers and Humans alike, and keep them from wasting the conference's time with useless and off-topic discussion. The "Killfiler's" has only one weakness, though to reveal it would be idiotic. The other weapon in his administrative arsenal is the "Moderator". The "Moderator's" power lies in its ability to filter ALL discussion through a single computer (Flux's) making sure the Cybertronian Conference is free from off-topic nonsense and personal attacks by those who can't be successfully taken care of with Killfiler. The "Moderator's" only weakness is it's resulting high-stress on the administrative computer resulting in possible conference down-times of indefinite length. Another new weapon being called "Digestifier" is still on the drawing board, but may fill the gap between the powers of the Killfiler and the Moderator.
