ARMOR AND WEAPONRY
Armor
Armor Description: Describe your character's armor. Bullet Point at least two notable features.
- Using Swindle's Lubricant!™, Swindle's armor can, supposedly, soak in blaster damage "without taking even the smallest dent!", while this is not the case, as Swindle's Lubricant!™ seems to be more of a cosmetic feature, making his armor shine.
- Swindle's armor is made of notably thick plating, allowing him to hold up heavy loads without buckling.
Weaponry
Primary Weapon : Energy Cannon
Description: Swindle's trusty energy cannon is on him at nearly all times. Attached to his arm, stuffed into his chest-grill, or somewhere on his back, Swindle whips out his cannon when things go awru.
Secondary Weapon : Semi-Automic Blaster
Description: Somewhere in that chest-grill of his lies his Semi-Automatic blaster. Small, lightweight, and not too fancy.

OTHER
Personality : A smooth-talking entrepreneur, clever and always willing to make some quick bucks - even if it means dealing with the scum of the universe. Not a Bounty Hunter, not a mercenary - Swindle's an arms dealer that will try to charm and sliver his way into getting the gun into your hands and the money into his pocket. Of course, Swindle looks out for himself more than anything, and cares little for the war and would most likely wish it to keep going, as it's one hell of a money-maker for him.
Courage:
On a 1-10 numeric scale.
How long does it take for you character to figure out the battle just can't be won and runs away? The higher this stat is the more out numbered/out matched the situation will have to get before your character decides to run away.
4
Charisma :
On a 1-10 numeric scale.
How likeable is your character? How much pull do they have with other people with just their charming personality and chat up lines? Note this should be based on your own, personal, ability to pull people over to your side.

History ( Optional as some like to make it up as they go along ) :
What’s your character’s past? minimum of one paragraphs (five sentences)
Before the war, Swindle had the same profession as he does today. Illegal arms dealing was his game, and always was ever since he popped off the assembly line. When the war began, the Decepticon's were Swindle's number one customer. From guns to weapons of mass destruction, Swindle had assets the Cons wanted and bought. However, Swindle remained a neutral, standing by and watching, keeping his eye out for a customer. The Autobots rarely dealt with Swindle, but if they had the money, Swindle would make business with even his past customer's worst enemies. When the war had to move to Cybertron, Swindle managed to stick around with the Cons for the ride, still making money as the war continued on Earth.
Strengths :
MINIMUM of four bullets ( Full sentences required ).
You may also write a paragraph consisting of five sentences revolving around 'strength'.
- Swindle can manage to slip out of trouble, dealing and talking his way out of predicaments.
- Swindle can get nearly anything he wanted, if the need for the item he had was great enough, which means he is capable of bending even the most prideful of Decepticons or Autobots to meet Swindle's terms.
- Swindle knows when to back away from a fight. Centuries of calculating and predicting the outcomes of his decisions and the decisions of others have not only made him some cash, but saved his hide every now and then.
- Swindle has a vast variety of weapons at his disposal, from cannons to blasters to staffs of doom. Many of which he carries around with him, though rarely, and would much rather keep it in storage where it's safe from damage.
Weaknesses :
MINIMUM of four bullets (Full sentences required). You may also write a paragraph consisting of five sentences. (Must mention five weaknesses)
- Swindle would gladly sell his loyalty to the Decepticons if the price was right. He cares little for either side, and if the money was there, Swindle would break alliances and lose customers in favor of better paying ones.
- Swindle tends to lie. A lot. Whether he sells a cheap knockoff item and calls it 'genuine, new, and in good condition!' when it really isn't could end up being his downfall. Most customers don't take kindly to such behavior.
- Swindle isn't made for fighting. While he sure has the tools to put up one, Swindle can't hold his own in a fight with someone of greater strength - in short, he's weaker than most. He can get his tail kicked if he doesn't have one hell of a blaster on him. That being said, he rarely goes out to battle.
- Swindle isn't the most attentive bot there is. He could be oblivious to a nuclear explosion behind him. This is most likely because he never adapted to any 'battefield' scenario, and doesn't know better than to not care about his surroundings.
SAMPLE RP
Note that a piece of your history, your journey to Earth for example, could be used.
"You got what I ordered?" The bot asked from the shadows of the alleyway, leaning against a metal wall. "Well, of course I do, Mister...?" Swindle replied, a prideful smirk plastered on his face. "It doesn't matter. All that matters is the cash to ya, doesn't it?" The bot said. Swindle laughed heartily. "You know me too well, even though I don't even know your name!" Swindle grabbed a hold of the top of his grill and slid it outwards, revealing a small compartment of junk. "Let's see heeere... What is it you ordered again?" Swindle asked, still smiling. "The Gattling Gun, with the Energon Rounds mod?" The bot said, growing impatient. "Oh yes - the ol' Gattl' gun!" Swindle declared, somehow pulling out the gattling gun, which was much bigger than the compartment. Swindle slammed his grill shut, and held out the gun.
"Alrie', give it here!" The bot said, stepping from the shadows. "No problemo-" Swindle stopped mid-sentence, as the bot who walked out of the shadows revealed himself to be Autobot Prowl. "You're under arrest, put your hands up and the gun down." Prowl said, aiming a blaster at Swindle's head. Two officers coughed upwards, standing atop the roofs of the two Cybertronian buildings on the side. "Now that's not funny." Swindle said, frowning. Swindle dropped the gattling gun to the ground and raised his arms. "You know what item you actually need, officer Prowl? It makes a bigger bang than that weak old gattling gun." Swindle sighed. "I call it a - GRENADE." Swindle ripped out a grenade from his grill in an instant, throwing it directly at Prowl. Prowl stepped back, taken in shock.
Swindle blasted at the two Autobots above with his cannon, and transformed, driving out of the alleyway in a hurry. Prowl ran out of the alleyway, before the grenade could explode. Swindle drove down the streets of Iacon, laughing. "Pleasure doing business with you bots!" Swindle yelled from afar, as he dissapeared into the Cybertronian night.
