Designation: Rally
Kruos
Nicknames:
Gender: Mech
Age: 17
Home Planet: Cybertron
Home City State: Crystal City
Faction: Autobot
Rank:
Occupation: Civilian/Hopeful Recruit
Appearance: Rally is a young Cybertronian. He's rather slender and lithe for a mech and could easily pass as a femme with the right disguise. Rally's inner frame is a dark gray. His Autobot insignia is located in the center of his chest. The helmet on his head is angular and streamlined. Two small wings extend from each side at an angle almost like antenna. There are three small conical parts located on the back of his calves and on the bottom of his backpack. They seem to be part of thrusters yet there are no engines anywhere near them. The car's hood forms his chest plate and his pauldrons are formed from the vehicle's rear wheels and tail-lights. They fold up slighty to create a round appearance. The FXX's hood splits in half and forms his calves while the front of his legs are created from headlights. The front wheels fold up inside his legs and be deployed to form wheel-feet. Rally's blue racing stripes form a crystalline pattern on his chest forearms and legs. The Bloodline is always sheathed on his right side.
Armor:
Armor Description: Rally's armor is lightweight and designed to provide as much movement as possible. As a result, the armor exposes a lot of Rally's inner frame. His thighs and biceps are particularly obvious targets. It's made out of some sort of composite material that's rather easy to re-create. It seems to have been designed as an cheaper alternative to the standard Autotrooper or Vehicon armor due it's low cost and disposable function. Rally himself isn't quite sure who created the armor but he is the only one who actually knows how to synthesize the composite.
Armor Perks: While his armor can stop high-speed projectiles it's designed to break after one-shot. The armor falls off afterwards and allows Rally to move faster than before at the expense of his defenses. The armor itself is also highly resistant to kinetic attacks in general.
Optic Color: Green
Primary Paint Color: Silver
Secondary Paint Color: Blue
(Racing Stripes)
Tertiary Color: N/A
Height: 16 feet
Alternative Mode: Ferrari FXX
Build: Slender
Weaponry:
Primary Weapon: Claymore [Bloodline]
Primary Weapon Description: The Bloodline ia very curious weapon. It's well-maintained by Rally but it's design is very strange. Unlike most modern energon-based melee weapons the sword's blade is crafted from cybertanium. Despite this, the Bloodline's edge is dull. If one looked close enough they could make out small slots that line the sides of the blade. The Bloodline's cross-shaped hilt has a clear chamber in the center and hinges that lock it when in its sheath. The handle has a sharp blade sticking out like a trigger.
Primary Weapon Perks: The Bloodline can only be unsheathed by Rally due to some strange locking-mechanism hidden in the hilt. It's true functions are Rally's most guarded secret.
Gadgets: The young Autobot also carries binoculars and flares for emergencies.
Two packets of Energon are also located in a hidden compartment in his chest. These are only used when he can't get an Energon transfusion at the base.

Personality Rally is an idealistic young mech who's eager to prove himself. Despite these desires Rally himself lacks confidence in his own skills and strengths and as a result he's rather humble to a self-deprecating degree. Although he's well-educated about Cybertronian history he seems to romanticize the Age of the Thirteen. Rally can be very shy around femmes at times and easily-flustered. The young Autobot's free time is usually taken up by maintenance time or training. He's cautious among others and always seems to dodge the subject when someone asks about the Bloodline or his own past.
History: Not much is known about this young Autobot. The records available to most list him as a citizen of Crystal City and his family records show that he comes from a long lineage of scientists that dates back to the Age of the Thirteen. Perhaps the most noteworthy contribution to science that came from Kruos lineage was an ancient formula involving energon in a crystalline state. Shockwave's research on stressed-crystal material used this ancient formula as a base for his own work. Before the Great War the cornerstone to Crystal City's first constructed spire was even engraved to memorialize Acies Kruos, Rally's oldest recorded ancestor.
Rally grew up in Crystal City with his father. His mother died shortly after he was constructe and surviving records show that it was a rather strange disease that hasn't re-surfaced since. His father took him to work often and the young mech learned about the properties of Energon before he even knew the scientific theory. Rally's father also stressed the importance of his family's history. When Crystal City fell Rally lost his only relative and his home. He was reluctant to support either side at first and survived the first few weeks by hiding and scavenging the ruins. Eventually, Rally was taken in by a mercenary who taught him Caesar's School of Fencing - a counterpart to Metallikato. When his mentor left to fight in the Great War the young mech drifted through refugee camps. With the return of the Autobots and Decepticons Rally has finally decided to take a side.
Family:
Father: Phase Kruos [Deceased]
Mother: Bisia Kruos [Deceased]
Strengths: Rally possesses an incredible talent for swordsmanship despite his own insistence that he's merely a novice. Even without an actual blade he can still easily match up with hardened veterans at close range. The young mech's also proficient in parkour, something he most likely picked up while scouring the ruins of Cybertron. Rally's considerable speed is essential to combat as both a means of escape and for closing gaps. For some odd reason Rally's more durable than most, especially considering the fact that he's small and takes a car as an alternate mode. Other than these fighting skills Rally has managed to retain a great deal of knowledge pertaining to Energon and has memorized where all of his fuel-lines are. His own knowledge of anatomy seems rather out of place in his skillset...
Weaknesses: As a close-range fighter, the best way to deal with this mech is to keep him at range. In particular, suppressing fire is highly effective at keeping him away from you. On the other hand, Rally is absolute garbage with firearms. You'd be hard-pressed to find another Cybertronian who can miss as much as him. In fact, the old saying "can't hit the broad side of a dreadnought" is actually quite literal with this mech. His skill with firearms is so bad that simply giving one to him is a tactical advantage for the enemy. It's quite easy to demoralize Rally as well, especially if one derides him and belittles him.
Other:
The young mech seems to suffer some sort of disease as one can often see him coughing up energon. At times, Rally even looks rather frail and sickly. The details of this curious affliction haven't been divulged to any of High Grand's medics and it seems that Rally's only source of treatment is a weekly Energon transfusion.
