BASICS
Designation : Backbeat
Nicknames: The Planet Killer, the guy who pulled the island thing.
Gender : Mech
Faction : Decepticon
Occupation : Strategist and Military Commander
Personality :
Unlike many other Decepticon field commanders, Backbeat has a independent streak a mile long. Once Backbeat has taken command of a Decepticon force, he has been known to run it without oversight or accountability. This is only tolerated because due to Backbeat's deadly reputation for unconventional success. He frequently fluctuates between a mad schemer and a laid back snark machine. Many a meeting has been derailed by his habit of mocking those he dislikes. Backbeat takes nothing seriously, nothing except wining. Has a habit of obsessing over the cultures of different races across the galaxy. His current obsession...? Earth culture.

Equipment and Abilities
Weaponry :
Barrage cannon: A missile launcher designed to for two different modes of fire.
Standard: Fires a missile that splits into six missiles. While individual missile damage output is decreased overall damage is dangerous.
Alternate: Fires a single missile, this mode is used for more exotic ammunition.
Energon Saber: A molecule sharp energy blade.
Pistols: Loaded with armor piercing rounds, Backbeat's probably killed more of his subordinates with them than Autobots.
Gadgets :
Tactical visor: Thermal, Night vision, target marking, and can scan for energon signatures.
Advanced warning system: Allows user to better predict incoming attacks utilizing inbuilt scanners. More effective against ranged weapons than close combat.
Signal dampener: Designed to help hide vehicle mode energy signals.
Abilities :
"Warping": Backbeat can open localized tears in denominational stability thanks to ancient tech incorporated into his body. Extended use will severely drain Backbeat's power. These Warped "doors" can very in size and shape, usual lasting a short time before closing. This is limited to accessing areas only on the planet he's currently on and becomes unreliable the more times he does this during a battle due to energy requirements. This results in doors not opening or the right destinations not being reached. Others can also follow him through these portals if left open.
History[Optional as some like to make it up as they go along] :
Backbeat's risen through the ranks as due to a combination of military campaigns that usually conclude with some sort of insane plan. Such schemes as dropping an island on Cabraxas IV, a planet that had been successfully resisting Decepticon raids for years. The resulting impact killed a vast majority of the planet's civilization and freed it for Decepticon take over. Or what he did to planet Ethos, turning it's atmosphere into a bomb to destroy orbiting Autobot ships. Each act seems to purposely designed to one up the last. With Megatron gone, Backbeat's been working more and more independently of Decepticon high command. His seemingly ever increasing acts of insanity may eventually run him into direct opposition of the Decepticon Leaders. His response to that?

SAMPLE RP
Backbeat chuckles as he walks the halls of the Faithless Looter, a Decepticon ship under his command. The Vehicons crewing the working away as he wanders the halls. It was a good ship. Smaller than the Nemesis, but with enough weapons and maneuverability for the worst of fights.But it wasn't for battle, it was the base of many operations. Now it was speeding away from their last target. A world that had been successfully resisting Decepticon take over for years, Backbeat's crew had changed that. After dealing with the leader of the last team assigned, Backbeat set about work on the planet. Using thermal bombs to melt the planet's ice caps resulted in extinction of almost all native species... Leaving a waterlogged planet for Decepticon High Command. He arrives on the Bridge and a vehicon approaches him. Telling him something about new orders, and a planet called Earth. He looks at the vehicon.' It'll be nice to be back... Paint the town red... '
