Designation : Nitro Gear
Nicknames: En Gee
Gender : Mech
Age : 74 million years
Home Planet : Cybertron

Faction : Autobot
Occupation : Guardian/Defender.
Abilities : Defensive mode
Ability Description : When Nitro Gear activates his defensive mode both arms deploy their own energon shields which merge for a 270 degree coverage in front of him. Once deployed the tower shield designs provide cover from helm to pede, this can then provide additional support with both shields embedding into the ground. This by extent usually makes him an immovable object once his defensive mode is activated.

- Nitro Gear's armour is heavy duty designed to survive an extreme amount of punishment without needing maintenance for a long period of time.
- Both arms along with his shoulders are thickened to contain the materials and equipment required for a deployable full scale thermo energon shield.
Weaponry
There are a bunch of weapons listed here
Primary Weapon : Boltgun
Description: The bolter or boltgun is a medium range anti-personnel weapon which fires an unusual ammunition known as bolts, which the weapon received it's name after these are self-propelled and explode after penetrating armour for maximum damage. The firing mechanism creates a thunderous explosive sound which is known to create fear in those near by, this helps the weapon become an extremely effective suppressive fire weapon. This handheld weapon also can fire in a number of modes including automatic fire, semi-automatic, and burst fire mattering on both range of the opponent as well as the desired effect, as automatic fire is most effective for close range or suppressive fire.
Secondary Weapon : Thermo Rocket Launcher
Description: Designed for long range combat the thermo rocket launcher is capable of locking onto the minute energy variations of a cybertron in their alternative mode making it highly effective at hitting cybertronians in their alt mode specifically seekers with his homing missiles.
Gadgets : Early Warning System - Nitro Gear's radar system is designed to detect incoming fast moving projectiles unlikely to be seen by the optic during a combat scenario.
Trophy Countermeasure - When a projectile is detected by Nitro Gear's radar system, the internal computer calculates an approach vector almost instantly, before it arrives. Once the incoming weapon is fully classified, the computers calculate the optimal time and angle to fire the neutralizers. The response comes from two rotating launchers installed on the sides of his shoulders which fire neutralizing agents, usually small metal pellets like buckshot. This is ineffective for standard projectiles but much more effective for explosive projectiles.
Melee : Thermo Energon plated Warhammer
Melee Weapon Description: The thermo energon warhammer is a single long pole roughly 24ft tall that forms the weapon handle and is created of a thermo energon resistant plating, designed to ensure the weapon handle is not sliced when it connects with other thermo energon weapons. Connected to the pole is a large weapon head designed to crush those underneath with brutal force, this is further enforced by the use of thermo energon plating around the head of the weapon which allows the plating to be superheated, providing both excessive force and heat to crush and weaken armour at the same time.

OTHER
Personality : An autobot through and through Nitro Gear believes completely in freedom for all sentient beings and is fiercely loyal to the ideal willing to put his life on the line if required. This incredible hope for a better future gives Nitro Gear an unshakable courage that has held strong against insurmountable odds. During battle he is a serious combatant only throwing a few comments to distract his opponent and receive the upper hand. In addition to being serious on the battlefield he has also known as being authoritative elsewhere sometimes to the point other autobot's have considered him a hardass. However despite this general feeling Nitro Gear can be found laughing and joking around those he is truly friends with.
Courage: 10
Charisma : 7
History : Sparked through the well of all sparks Nitro Gear's protoform came from the Ibex quadrant of Cybertron, however Nitro Gear found himself in an unusual position as a larger mech he couldn't be placed in the racing class that many from his quadrant where placed in due to the caste system. Rather he became a security guard as his durable alternative mode made him rather effective at his job in which he protected such locations as the Hall of Records, Cybertronian vaults, Ibex racing circuit and the High Council Tower which he successfully protected for millions of years as anti-caste system riots grew. During this time Nitro Gear also met fellow Cybertronian guard Gear Change.
Having protected multiple locations on Cybetron for millions of years when the riots finally reached their tipping point and the entire planet was thrust into civil war instinctively Nitro Gear joined the Autobots as a dutiful servant of Sentinel Prime. As the war continued to escalate Nitro Gear was defending the prison of Rura Penthe when he received invitation to a wrecker squadron known as squadron x. He then proceeded to work with this group what included members such as Sabre, Gear Change, Turbine and Wedge up until the exodus and even past this event although many of the events are classified many of these members later became Elite Guard.
Strengths :
Nitro Gear is a highly durable combatant to the point in his defensive mode he has been able to withstand hours on the frontline of a defence.
His bolter weapon also allows Nitro Gear to defend his teammates by providing impressive suppressive fire.
Despite being a larger mech he also has above average intelligence making him rather hard to outwit although not impossible. This can also give him an advantage against similar mechs of lower intelligence.
He has a calm head making him unlikely to outbursts of rage.
Weaknesses :
As a larger mech with an APC alternative mode Nitro Gear is a rather slow individual unable to outrun or chase more agile and smaller individuals.
Nitro Gear is not the most accurate of mechs and although he has average accuracy his weapons make him ineffective at long range making him a target that can't fire back against snipers.
Also as a prideful and dutiful mech Nitro Gear's willingness to defend his ideals as well as other teammates can sometimes put him in disadvantageous positions.
Although a hardass Nitro Gear is also a very trusting mech and as long as he is not being asked a question he considers confidential he is most likely willing to release his information. This makes him a prime target for spies.

This is the sneak peak for Nitro Gear's Spotlight
Located on the outskirts of Iacon the prison of Rura Penthe was infamous not only for the variety of dangerous war criminals it held but also for the barbaric treatment of those prisoners. Both Autobot traitors and Decepticons alike where treated with the same malice as dozens of prisoners snapped under the pressure, it was of course unknown by those outside of it's true nature as outside the prison was considered a symbol of security. However even then not every staff member agreed of the prisoners treatment, after all they where cybertronians regardless of what they had done in the war. At least that was what Nitro Gear thought as he walked through the lifeless corridors desperately holding onto the belief that the prison was a necessary evil.
He wasn't alone though as he walked aside an Autobot traitor known as Rotorwave as the 28ft tall Nitro Gear dwarfed the much smaller mech who stood only 24ft and of a much smaller frame. The only real noticeable difference far away was the stasis-cuffs wrapped around the prisoners servo's along with the collar around his neck. Nitro Gear respected the fellow mech as he began to realise he walked with an unusual limp filling him with questions and concern as Nitro Gear stopped forcing Rotorwave to stop, the prisoner couldn't move through the corridors alone as he turned his helm to look at Nitro Gear.
Nitro Gear: What's wrong with your leg?
Rotorwave: Nuthin much, the usual ya know.
Nitro Gear: Rotor come on we're friends just tell me what prisoner and I'll sort it out.
Turning silent at the suggestion Rotorwave turned his helm away unwilling to answer at the idea as he merely scoffed at the idea of another prisoner injuring him. It was enough of a reaction to get Nitro Gear even more curious as he stepped closer to rotorwave firing questions at him with authority.
Nitro Gear: It's not a request. Tell me who did this, I'll sort it out.
Stepping closer till he was face to face with Rotorwave the guard obviously wasn't messing as Rotorwave tried to resist his gaze before finally conceding.
Rotorwave: Alright it was one of the doctors. Firesling him and his lacky Streetfang.
Nitro Gear: Thank you Rotorwave.
Aware it wasn't the first time the mech had been experimented on Nitro Gear could feel a slight impulse building up within him, Rotorwave had been a faithful Autobot soldier and scout up until the moment his sparkmate joined the decepticons and although he followed suit with his sparkmate he was finally captured and trialled as a traitor. In a way though Nitro Gear couldn't blame him after all he fought for the ones he loved and cared about just as much as he fought for the cause. Rotorwave had been madly in love and if Nitro Gear had been in his pede's he probably would have done the same although he would rather deny it. That understanding of the mech's decision made it easy to sympathise with as Nitro Gear calmly looked into the mech's optics and patted his shoulder reassuring.
Nitro Gear: Don't worry about it I'll take you to your cell then I'll...
Listening up ahead in the distance his voice was muffled by the screaming coming from cell block "Helix", it was a low security section but the cells where closed and soundproof. The only reason he would be able to hear such noise would be if they where open as he reached around his waist to grip the handle of his shock baton, if there was hassle ahead he had no intention to deal unneeded damage. Then the security alarms rung out as the entire facility emerged in an uneasy tension. Nitro Gear needed to know what was up ahead as he quickly walked over to a security terminal on the side of the corridor, as he reached it the mech began to link up to the security feed as a number of the cameras where offline. Something was up as he rewinded to a feed of the heartless wardens office, it was one of the cameras that was now down.
The warden was a mech sparked as Razor although since his time in control the inmates and staff alike had named him Dreadcage alongside his second in command Slipface. However what surprised Nitro Gear as he finally regained the feed was the interaction between the two and a number of unusual guards, as Dreadcage stood overwatching the largest cell block "Kaon" suddenly his peaceful clarity was interrupted by Slipface storming into the office with a number of guards. Then they open fired with calculating efficiency as a number of blaster shots penetrated Dreadcage's frame sending him reeling back into the glass plane, A final headshot forcing him back and shattering the glass sending him to his doom. Nitro Gear could tell from the way he fell back the mech was already dead as he continued to watch Slipface and his guards deactivate the security systems. He couldn't believe it as the mech stared on oblivious to the guards entering from where Rotorwave and Nitro Gear had came.
They weren't real guards though as anyone looking closely would realise just like Slipface's guards, they where decepticons. Turning his helm to the opening blast doors Rotorwave didn't have time to think as he looked back to the oblivious Nitro Gear then towards the decepticons who had blasters raised, the valiant autobot "traitor" running forward to intercept as he assaulted Nitro Gear slamming the larger mech to the ground with a tackle as a number of decepticon blaster bolts connected with his backplate. Ripping the little mech to shreds as he screamed in agony his sacrifice gave Nitro Gear enough time to react as he flipped his right servo and aimed over the mech's shoulder firing his bolter towards the guards. The explosive bolts slamming into their target as they penetrated mere centimetres before exploding the result wrenching plating from circuits as the fearsome weapon's thunderous blows continued till all that remained was the scattered pieces of decepticons.
Will laid out on top of Nitro Gear the little mech Rotorwave continued to breathe heavily as the simulated reaction was an involuntary function of his brain trying to signal more energon to be pumped towards his processor. Wiggling out from underneath Nitro Gear looked towards his friend, the valiant hero riddled with holes as energon continued to drip out as the 28ft autobot lifted him up into a seating position snapping the stasis-cuffs in the process as he stared into the prisoners... his friends dulling optics.
Rotorwave: Never, I nev, I never...
Lifting his servo up to Rotorwave's mouth Nitro Gear placed a single digit against the mech's lips as he kept his hopeful stare and tried to calm the mech, he wasn't a doctor and he didn't know how to treat such injuries.
Nitro Gear: Save your energy come on we'll get you to a doctor.
Raising his servo the action was slugish and with struggle as Rotorwave took Nitro Gear's hand gently away from his mouth and returned a accepting smile, their freindship wasn't a one way scenario.
Rotorwave: Relax. I... I've accepted this time.
Nitro Gear: No you've not this isn't your time Rotor.
Crackling a laugh despite the pain as his internal systems proceeded to shut down Rotorwave saw no point in conserving energon as he struggled to keep his optics open he'd already hit the point where even entering stasis-lock could be a final moment. Anyway he wasn't lost in the past although he had spent much of his recent life regretting and accepting the love he had followed to the decepticons, the decepticons had came from the same direction as the medbay he wouldn't be surprised if they where dead yet.
Rotorwave: Besides... Now I get to save your aft.
Nitro Gear: Yeah well I can return the favour.
Turning to look towards the decepticon's he had an idea, he could patch the holes up with their scraps. As he began to stand up Rotorwave reached out gripping Nitro Gear with little force, it could easily be broken but Nitro Gear couldn't bear to do it as he looked down towards his dieing friend. Rotorwave's optics where dull now and lifeless.
Rotorwave: Don't leave me.
Staring down at him Nitro Gear lowered onto both knees infront of the mech as he let Rotorwave attempt to tighten his hold with little success, his friend deserved that much at least as he took Rotorwave's servo himself.
Rotorwave: Promise me something...
Nitro Gear: ...Anything.
Rotorwave: You'll sort this out.
Struggling to get the words out Rotorwave's head slumped as energon stopped dripping from the number of holes from his frame, he'd been drained dry from the ordeal as his lifeless optics stared down at the ground leaving Nitro Gear struggling for words. He could feel rage building up inside him although a part inside fought to resist, he'd promised to sort it out as he took a single breath and looked back towards the open blast door then towards Rotorwave as he laid his friend out on the ice cold metal floor a gentle two digits then closing the optics for good as Nitro Gear stood up and began to move. It was time "to sort this out".
