BASICS
Designation : Sparklock
Nicknames: Sparky, Sparks, Locks
Gender : Mech (trans)
Faction : “Where the Shanix is.” (Usually ends up hired by Decepticons, however he hasn’t officially aligned himself with any side)
Occupation : Stealth operative, self employed merc/assassin
Personality :
Sparklock wants to come off as a cold professional, but his small size and lack of social skills gives him an awkward, on edge air. When the moment calls, however, he’s exactly the person he wants to be; Dangerous. He’s a very guarded, optic for an optic kind of mech. He has a mean streak, but he usually knows when to back off and not take it too far. Emphasis on usually. Despite his ability to dish, though, he has trouble taking it. He’s easily riled, and often picks fights that he doesn’t stand a chance in.
APPEARANCE
Optic ( Eye ) Color : Blue
Primary Paint Color : Dark purple

Please put two Bullet Points listing notable features, a picture will account for this part of the app.
- Multiple movable antenna
- Clearly removed whatever badge was on his chassis by himself
Alternative Mode:
Mobile communications console. Includes handheld (though tethered by a wire) communicator. Despite it's usefulness, he's always kind of wanted to be a two wheeler. (May edit picture later)
Equipment and Abilities
Weaponry :
Energon rifle
Description: Customized to accommodate his size, made for long range, one shot kills. Must be reloaded for every shot, and has a nasty recoil. Easier to get a shot the closer he is, but in turn is louder and gives the target a clear warning.
Gadgets :
Faceplate
Description: Hides identity, and is equipped with a built in scope.
Abilities : Long range communication
Description: Can easily access channels being communicated over, and has the choice to make himself known on them or not depending on the situation. Drawback is the constant, distracting radio chatter when it’s in use, making pinpointing what he needs difficult and overstimulation common. It becomes worse in his alt-mode, so he doesn't transform often.
OTHER
History :
He was employed by Brokenspark for a klik, but ended up voiding the contract once realizing she no longer could get into contact with him, and it would likely never be completed. His target, Ace, became an acquaintance (RP in progress, info will be edited accordingly).
Strengths :
- He doesn’t back down from commitments, making him reliable.
- He’s street smart.
- Due to his job, he’s skilled in stealth.
Weaknesses :
- He is overwhelmed easily, and somewhat irritable.
- He has difficulty working well with others, especially if there's no reward for him at the end.
- He has a hard time breaking attachments once they're formed.
- He can be easily distracted/somewhat spacey at times.
SAMPLE RP
“This right here?” The little bot’s digit tapped the faceplate, amusement in his voice. “Nope, sorry buddy, it’s not coming off. I’m just too damn good looking, I gotta maintain a professional setting between us, y’know?” And with that, he eased back into his seat, pede tapping rapidly as he stared down the mech in front of him, daring them to object. It was straight up taunting- and he was having fun doing it. This was always the most entertaining part of the job, getting to see the bots squirm. No one, Autobot or Decepticon, really liked buying someone's death. It took a sick mind to come to that point, but put plenty of Shanix in Sparklock's servos.
