Personality : Nitros is the general that is a stern and commanding figure. When it comes to his soldiers, he expects the best out of them. If he doesn't, he sure will by the time he is done straightening them out. It has become a habit of his to smoke Cy-gars. He mostly smokes during the planning stages of strike and when commanding his troops. He also is not afraid to enter the battlefield to aid his own troops in the fight, making him a respectable commander.
Nitros is a kind and friendly individual at his core. He often jokes with those that are an equal rank to him or above on a regular routine. He can get really talkative once you get him going.
As a weapons engineer, Nitros is like a child in a sweet shop whenever he sees the latest and innotative technology. Many can hear the gears turning around inside his head as he is trying to figure out the possible ways of how Nitros can improve it.
At the end of it all, Nitros is an imaginative mech with a friendly personality. He likes to dream but that won't stop him from socialising with the rest of his faction. As a general, Nitros is stern and isn't afraid to inform others a lower rank than him know that they are if they are starting to step out of line. He still strives to gain their respect by fighting in the same war as them, but not from a command office.

EQUIPMENT AND ABILITIES
Weaponry :
387BR - Battle Rifile
> The 387BR is a rifle developed by Nitros which doubles as a cross between an assault rifle and a marksman rifle. The scope and three round burst system allow for quick and precise shots.
Energon Battle Rifle
> This was the first weapon owned by Nitros, back during his days as a member of a gang. He has kept it as a reminder of what he once was. The pistol itself doesn't see much use unless Nitros runs out of battle rifle ammo.
Planetbusters
> These weapons are the two cannons attached to Nitros' arms. This one is attached to the right. According to Nitros, they can knock a hole in a con and cause explosive damage to anyone surrounding the unlucky fellow.
Headlight Machine Guns
> While in both vehicle and robot modes, his headlights can slide up to reveal dual-barreled machine guns. The guns are probably his most powerful weapon, being able to tear through most armor. However, in robot mode the guns are very inaccurate except at close ranges.
Shatter Spark [Cyber Steel Sword]
> The main weapon of his deceased squad-mate, the former Greatsword was broken in half by a decepticon brute before he killed Nitros' mate. Nitros now uses it as a short-sword. The jagged edge is great for un-clean kills and stabbing things.
Gadgets :
Cy-gar Bombs
> He lights 'em, takes a puff, then throws them. Ka-Blam. His own invention.
Smart Knives
> Special throwing knives which can lock onto a target and seek them out, using micro-thrusters to propel itself towards the target and follow it. Again, his own invention.
Satellite Drones
> Small, coffee mug sized drones which Nitros sends into the air to monitor the battle-field. They alert him to enemy whereabouts and groundbridge openings.
TacPad
> A small touch-screen on his left forearm which he can use to activate machinery he has linked to it, detonate bombs, send messages, play angry-birds...
Visor
> Shows him his current status, what parts of him have been injured, and a tactical map of the battlefield. Complete with detecting enemy signatures!

History :
Nitros was born about 18 human years before the war began in the city of Kalis. There, he lived with his mother and sister in a sky-rise apartment, right over the Sub-Surface Fusion Reactor. In fact, the elevator in the apartment building even had a button that would take workers living on the lower levels directly down there. Nitros would sometimes sneak on with them in the early morning as a child, and be amazed by the reactor every time he saw it. This started his love of technology and was why he began studying Engineering while in the Kalis Academy.
He lived a great life with his family. His mother was a star reporter for the Kalis News Network and was paid greatly. Nitros was never low on energon as a child. He and his sister always got along well, rarely ever getting into fights. Yes, everything seemed perfect for the young mech. Then, tragedy struck. One day, around the age of 12, he invited his sister to sneak down with the workers to the Fusion Reactor. While trying to replicate the Reactor's structure on his 3D holo-pad, the alarms began ringing. Workers began running out, Nitros getting caught up with them. He realized he had been separated from his sister during the chaos, and began to scream for her as he was put in the elevator. He thought he saw a flash of her purple armor before the elevator doors closed. This was the last glimpse of his sister he ever had. When the elevator reached the bottom floor of his apartment building, he was rushed out and jammed into a large car full of workers. About twenty minutes later he heard a loud boom and everything went white.
Later, he found out that the reactor had over-heated and exploded, devastating the center of the city and vaporizing his apartment building, as well as many others. He spent days searching for his mother and sister, but found no trace of either.
Abandoned and alone, he quickly joined up with a street gang by the name of The Survivors, group of young mechs and feemes who were also left without families due to the explosion. For years, he and his gang terrorized the lower streets of Kalis, robbing homes and intimidating cops. After a daring raid on a police station armory, he gained an Energon Battle Pistol. He trained himself with the weapon and became quite proficient with it. He left the gang after they became too violent for him, murdering innocents and robbing the old. He realized they were all just angry and Nitros did not want to turn out like that. So he finally let go of his anger and his loss after a final visit to the place where his home once stood. Nitros then left Kalis for Praxus at the age of 17. He became a cop in Praxus and worked there until war broke out.
He initially joined up as a Scout, before eventually being promoted to Stealth Agent. During one mission involving bringing down a decepticon Bomber Craft from the inside, both of his legs were blown off and his chassis was severely damaged. While in the medbay, he chatted with a mech from the Engineer Corps, reinvigorating his love of technology. After being upgraded to a new body, he re-enlisted into the Robotics Division as a non-combatant. Nitros developed multiple drones and remote controlled turrets before finally feeling the call of combat once again. This time, he went in as a soldier, using his newly crafted battle-rifle. He was quickly integrated into Squad S and became good friends with a mech named Rusty. Nitros went on multiple combat missions with Squad S, including one where they raided a POW camp and liberated hundreds of prisoners. Rusty also had a love of technology, and they worked together on new ideas while on down-time at base. During a mission in which the objective was to stop an attack on an Autobot Outpost, Rusty was killed by a con brute. Nitros held his dying friend and performed the traditional Cybertronian Death Rites on him before burying him outside the outpost. He then took up Rusty's broken sword and vowed to end the war, one way or another.
Nitros' accomplishments were eventually recognized by the High Command, and he was promoted to General. Unlike most others of his rank, he actually went out on the field to oversee his tactical strikes and battles. This made him stand out among them in a unique way.
He did use a particular messenger quite a lot. That messenger being the young Sparkflare. He was always kind to the young mech, and even trained him for a little bit.
When the Arc plans were proposed, he was one of the first to endorse them. He boarded the ship with the others and set off for Earth. He was present when Watchman was made Prime and the new command structure was integrated.
After a few months on Earth, tragedy struck the general. While taking a relaxing drive, he encountered decepticon scouts. Caught without his weapons, Nitros called for back-up and attempted to take them on with just his fists. Sadly, he was quickly gunned down by the scouts, and by the time the the autobots arrived, his corpse was already being dragged into the scouts' groundbridge.
But this was not the last of the General. While on the Arc, he developed a program that would trigger when he died. He called it Operation: Rebirth. He periodically saved his mind and his memories onto a data-drive, so that when he died he could technically be restored. When his spark-signature went off-line, his mind began downloading into a new body. A process that would take six years to complete. Now Nitros is back, and ready for the new war upon him.
