Designation : Datastream
Nicknames: N/A
Gender : MECH
Age : If Human: Millions of years old.
Home Planet : Cybertron
Home City State [ optional ]: Iacon
Faction : Autobot
Occupation : Engineer, Robotics Expert, Medic, Archivist. Inventor.
Abilities :
Information Dump
Energon Detection
Upgrade/Modify Cybertronians/Weapons
Ability Description ( optional ) :
Information Dump: This allows him to dump some information directly into the mind of a Cybertronian he has physical contact with. It's not the best thing to do, but it is good if he needs to educate them on a subject quickly. There is a downside, and that is this causes him severe headaches.
Energon Detection is an ability that allows him to detect the presence of the substance known as Energon. This is not without it's downsides, as it can attract the wrong kind of attention. This ability doesn't have a range as he can detect quantities of Energon all over Earth.
Upgrade/Modify Cybertronians/Weapons:
His ability to upgrade and modify Cybertronians comes from Millenia of study, and work doing so. In addition he is also capable of modifying, and upgrading their weapons. Sadly enough this could lead to him being wanted by other factions, because of his age.
APPEARANCE
Optic ( Eye ) Color : Green
Primary Paint Color : Topaz
Secondary Paint Color [ Optional ]: Gold
Third Color [Optional]: Green
Height: As tall as Optimus.
Features:
The armor worn by Datastream consists of extra shielding including a bit of rubber and other electrically resistant materials. It's modeled to look sort of like the samurai that existed on Earth, but more durable. Extra armor plating has also been added that is light-weight, but provides him more protection around his spark chamber.
Alternative Mode:
The vehicle mode of Datastream appears to look like a Semi Truck. The semi truck in question is heavily armored possessing bullet proof glass, and bullet proof tires. On the outside of the Truck he's put a hazard symbol to hopefully dissuade humans or others from ramming him, and jostling his internal components. The truck is colored a Topaz color with some gray and green added. Each of the tires is also filled with a foam like substance so as to prevent puncture of his tires, if he ever were to recharge in his vehicle mode.
ARMOR AND WEAPONRY
Armor
Armor Description: The armor worn by Datastream is made to provide more protection around a crucial area, namely his Spark Chamber. The armor there is triply as thick as any normal armor. His armor is styled sort of like that of an earth warrior known as a "Samurai" but is also heavier than that armor. His armor does look formidable, and not like someone you'd want to cross.
- Samurai Like Armor
- Extra Spark Chamber Protection
- Heavy Duty
- X4 Thickness around Spark Chamber, X 3 thickness everywhere else.
Weaponry
There are a bunch of weapons listed here
Primary Weapon
Scatter Shot Dual Blasters
Description: These blasters shoot blasts of energon that spiral in differing directions, and chaotic ones. This makes blocking and dodging harder, but not impossible. 2 post cool down upon use.
Secondary Weapon : Gatling Laser Blaster
Description: One of the weapons that Datastream developed for his own use. This can shoot several energon blasts a second. It's a good weapon, and one that is one of Datastream's signatures.
Other Weapons :
Vehicle Weapons
Description :
Grenade Launcher: A simple grenade launcher that's a part of his vehicle mode. Takes 3 posts to charge up.
X12-A Scrapmaker
A variant of the X12 Scrapmaker for alternate mode. Mounts on top of alternate form. Slow to spin up to full firing speed. For land-based robots.
X24 Scrapmaker
Heavy weaponry. Vastly improved over previous versions, this multi-barrelled machine gun employs a Gatling style spin up before its fury set up on the ships under belly attached to a swivel or on top of the vehicle if land-based.
Missile Launcher
Heat-seeking rocket launcher with the latest Holomaster lock-on tech. Ammo is limited due to the violate nature of the rockets. Highly effective on other alternative modes and larger mechs.
Each of these takes 3 posts to charge up.
Gadgets :
N/A, presently. Will build/design some IC.
Melee Weaponry :
Hammer of Retribution
Melee Weapon Description (Optional):
Hammer of Retribution: This hammer is made out of artificially created Cyber Matter based off of a formula within his data-banks. The hammer can create powerful shockwaves of energy when swung, capable of potentially knocking over or concussing any Cybertronian stupid enough to hold still. This hammer is also capable of delivering electrical jolts to the nervous system of entities hit by it. In short, this hammer is a weapon you don't want hitting you. It is also used in the creation of other weapons however.

Personality :
Datastream is a bot who was originally programmed to record information, and record it all. The planet Earth seems to possess many secrets worth recording to him. At the same time though, he's wary of trusting a Femme again because he believes it will just lead to inevitable heart-break. Datastream also wants the head of Kaon on a pike but has not made himself go out there and do something about it, because actually? He's afraid of Kaon doing the same thing to him. Recently he's started to reveal that he suffers from a Cybertronian equivalent to PTSD and has terrible nightmares, but has refused medical treatment about them, saying he deserves to suffer for his stupidity.
Datastream is also a bot who is very intelligent, and speaks with 20 dollar words. His speech is eloquent most of the time, even when he's enraged. Datastream is also a bot who can be accused of being a workaholic. When he starts on a project, he is very unlikely to allow himself even the smallest amount of recharge until it is done. Sometimes he even ignores his own need for Energon to complete projects. Data Stream is also sometimes attempting to snuff his own spark, a problem that on it's own needs addressed.

History ( Optional as some like to make it up as they go along ) :
Before the first war of Cybertron broke out and before even the Primes there was a bot on the planet whose sole purpose was to record information, to catalog every event in the history of the planet. The name of this bot as supplied by Primus itself was "Datastream" and for several countless Millenia Data Stream did his job. Faithfully carrying out his mission he archived information on technologies and their schematics, and on bots and cons alike during the first of the wars. This war was the one that destroyed most of the primes. But as he continued his work, Datastream realized something. Most bots and cons had femmes to support them, but he had no one. Was the work of the Data Keeper to be a lonely one?
This question was one question that Datastream never came up with the answer to. It was not in fact until the start of the battles between Megatron and Optimus that Datastream allowed himself to bond with a Femme. Unfortunately for Datastream a Decepticon named Kaon who was part of the Decepticon Justice Division murdered his bond mate and her unprotected Sparklings, forcing Datastream to watch. But when he thought he was about to die something happened no one could ever predict. Datastream fled, like a coward. Before he could flee however Kaon did one more act of cruelty and ripped the Codex, which was a data storage unit out of his chest, and destroyed it.
This act nearly obliterated Datastream's belief in his purpose. Over the next 100 years he gave up on his mission of recording information, and deleted all that he had stored on the planet Cybertron. When rumor came to him that the autobot-decepticon war had spread to a new planet, he decided to do something about the entirety of the DJD by moving all the way to the planet Earth. An old ship was used that took him as far as earth, before burning up in the atmosphere. His means of survival involved launching an escape pod that landed near the Autobot base, with him in stasis.
Family ( Optional, some just have none ) :
Access- The only Femme Datastream ever loved. She was killed by Kaon of the Decepticon Justice Division.

SAMPLE RP
Note that a piece of your history, your journey to Earth for example, could be used.
As the old derelict ship he had been forced to take to Earth as no others were accessible by him started to burn up, Datastream nearly panicked. What was he to do? As the ship continued to overheat an idea struck him. It was a risky gambit, and he'd be nearly defenseless until someone found it. But it was the only option he had, and so Datastream hurried to where the Escape Pods were kept. Entering the Escape Pod he programmed it to seek out any autobot signals and land wherever there were bots on the planet. With that done, Datastream entered it.
"There's no time like the present."
With that he entered the launch codes, and launched his escape pod.
