Gadgets :
Sky-Tech Armour:
For all airborne characters for extra protection against attack. Good against rockets and some anti-aircraft fire. Has two large rockets on back for an extra speed boost. Makes user a larger target to hit and reflexes are lowered.
Tractor Beam:
An almost unshakable grip, used to capture Transformers, or in this case: carry them. It takes seconds for a user to deactivate beam and it can not choose targets so it may pick up shrapnel and even explosives. Used by Stormcutter to pick up and haul others without the need for physical straps, chains, and hooks. Most often used for emergencies where quick pickup is needed. He'll often travel only a short distance with this method, enough to make it to safety, as he cannot easily balance the load.
Triple-hook Cargo System:
Used to physically carry equipment and/or other Cybertronians externally from his alt mode. Stormcutter's preferred method of carrying loads.
Flame Suppressing Foam:
Used put out fires, allowing easier access to those in need of rescue.
Melee :
-Thermo Energon Axes : These dual axes are not only used for battle, but also for cutting through different materials to reach those in need of rescue.
- Smithery Hammer - Custom : A very study, variable temperature, hammer that is mostly used for smiting armor, but can be used in combat situations as well. The temperature of the hammer head can vary from near melting to below freezing.
- Rotor Blades : Used as a backup only, Stormcutter can use his rotors like massive buzzsaws. However, this puts his capability of flight at risk as the blades are not as sturdy as typical swords and can possibly break with enough resistance from the object being struck.

OTHER
Personality :
Stormcutter is quiet but when he does speak he speaks with a mixture of modern and traditional terms and phrases, often being concise and to the point no matter how anyone else might take it. However, occasionally he will speak cryptically, particularly when he doesn't know how to word what he wants to say correctly. Additionally, he is always observing and reading the surrounding environment and those nearby with an impassive and stoic expression. Since an accident that resulted in a scar across his face, he rarely removes his mask, even when relaxing, and when on the battlefield his "visor" comes down so that his face is completely shielded. The red "visor" that shows up is actually a cosmetic effect that he personally chose. He uses a full array of highly accurate sensors and external cameras to "see" as the information is displayed to him on the back of the eye shield.
With an extreme loyalty to his sister, Panacea, he will almost always opt to follow her request over any conflicting commands from higher-ups. That being said, he has a level processor and keeps his sister grounded in reality, keeping her from doing things that he knows she would regret later. On the flip side, Panacea often scolds him when he gets hurt as a result of taking unnecessary damage from 'honorable duels', however he sees it as a chance to test his armor so he can make improvements. Additionally, he sees no honor in killing his opponents and will simply fight until one of them is forced to withdraw, that is, unless they harm his sister.
Stormcutter will go to great lengths to aid an ally, living up to his part of the search and rescue team he and his sister create. While he cannot perform detailed repairs due to his size, he is content with using devices that contain nanomachines to keep an injured ally alive while he transports them to safety. He is also willing to use his body as a shield while his sister or another medic performs emergency repairs during battle.
Courage : 9
Charisma : 3
History :
Stormcutter and his sister, Panacea, were born of the Well at the exact same moment, making them twins. He and Panacea found themselves in the job of "Search and Rescue" in the caste system. While they enjoyed their job, the harshness of the tasks with little payment often left them searching not only for the wounded, but for items and scraps they would sell off to make a decent living. This quickly embittered them to the high ranks in Iacon who were in charge of their group. When his sister started working in the Pits of Kaon, he often assisted his sister with repairs, handling most of the armor fixing and construction.
When the war started, Stormcutter found himself wanting more than the lot they were handed as living conditions fluctuated dramatically. He supported his sister's decision in joining the Decepticons and dedicated his spark to helping his new allies, whether they liked him to or not. He was often seen on the battlefield either transporting supplies to the front-lines or pulling the injured out of the combat zone.
When the Exodus came about, Stormcutter and Panacea stayed on Cybertron for a time, supporting those who remained. As the planet began to slumber, Energon supplies ran low and work began to disappear. They left for the stars in hopes of finding a place that had more resources and make a better living once again. Their personal exodus lead them to a resource rich planet called Earth, arriving shortly after receiving word of a new chain of command for the Decepticons on the carbon-based planet.
Family :
Panacea: Twin sister - Alive
Chiro: Adopted Mother - Alive
Strengths :
- Stormcutter is able to carry heavy loads and transport them far distances quickly and safely.
- Given his alt mode's design, Stormcutter is able to fly through weather conditions that most other aerial Cybertronians cannot.
- Stormcutter is able to go almost anywhere to aid an ally: land, air, and can even land on the surface of the sea.
- He can perform basic repairs but he specializes in armor repairs and crafting custom armor.
- He is highly observant of his surroundings and most things do not escape his gaze or audio receptors.
Weaknesses :
- Stormcutter is socially inept and will often prefer to remain silent than to speak up, inadvertently leading others to distrust him.
- Due to his size he cannot perform intricate, internal repairs on others, even though he knows how.
- While he can take a lot of damage, he cannot deal out much damage unless he is up close.
- He is a "work-horse" and will often try to take on more work/duties than he can reliably handle, burning himself out faster than normal.
- When working on armor, he will not stop until he is finished and satisfied with it's quality, even ignoring his own sister.
SAMPLE RP
- - -
Stormcutter watched as Panacea rolled her optics. "No, I'm not going to pick one I don't like for the sake of getting out of here quick." Came her verbal protest, though he already knew that she was unhappy with the selection before her as her emotions rang clear through their spark connection.
The alarms had been going off for a little while now and they watched as the small humans began to approach their position. Armed and ready to take them down. Not that the two 'Cons were worried about the little fleshies.
"Just pick." Stormcutter muttered flatly with his deep toned voice. He was already ready to go as his choice had been easy. A large, carrier-type rotorcraft that sat outside the nearby hangar.
Panacea exvented but then seemed to immediately perk up. "Yes! Perfect!!" She scanned the vehicle and immediately transformed into her new alternate mode, an ambulance Humvee. "Ok, we can go now~"
Finally. Without a verbal word, Stormcutter transformed into his chosen alt mode, opening his cargo hold for Panacea to load for takeoff. Once she was securely loaded, he revved up his rotors and lifted off the ground. Their first priority was taken care of so now they would search for their comrades. Where exactly they were going to go, they weren't sure yet.
