BASICS
Designation : Shellshock
Nicknames: Bug
Gender : Mech
Faction : Decepticon
Occupation : Engineer, Enforcer
Personality : Unlike most of his kind born in the underground hives of Cybertron, Shellshock was sparked with a thirst for knowledge which quickly became a near unquenchable curiosity in comparison to his lesser brethren. With such curiosity that made him stood out also came a relentless ambition to make something of his own which along with his creative tendancies has led to him becoming a skillful city and structural engineer. As a result of his own upbringing through Shellshock desires companionship and can often be found assisting workers when not designing himself. On the other hand though he can be cutting and critical, often expecting the same effort and results as he himself could obtain from his workers. This has further led to a perfectionism in his work which can on occasion be either a great boon or infuriating weakness when delays and the like occur. It is only experience and age that has ensured the mech no longer is likely to eat those who fail him the first time, though they often find themselves doing their best to avoid a repeat meeting.

Equipment and Abilities
Weaponry :
Barrage Cannon - A quick firing and hard hitting rifle designed for close to mid range combat, and integrated into his right arm. The Barrage Cannon has been a rather common weapon across the galaxy since it's creation in the Great Civil War for it's easiness to maintain along with it's durability allowing it to be used on even the harshest of environments. In the case of Shellshock's personal weapon, the rifle was first used shortly after the Autobot's attack on the insecticon hives which forced them off world with the exodus.
Thermic Lance - Traditionally the Thermic lance is designed as a construction tool, capable of cutting through steel and numerous other materials. With it's long range in melee as well as the speed through which it can melt through armour it wasn't long before it was re-purposed for war.
Claws - Like most insecticons, Shellshock possesses claws which can rip apart an unprepared enemy with brutal strength.
Pincers - In a similar manner the pincers on Shellshock's face can be used to tear through most materials known to cybertronians.
Gadgets :
Environmental Sensors - Environmental Sensors are capable of scanning the environment for a detailed map of the area within a wide range. This is most useful as a Insecticon because the sensors can breach underground revealing fixtures such as caves and weak points in the terrain which are easier to burrow into.
Abilities : Hive Generation
Description: By consuming an excess of resources, Shellshock can begin to produce a swarm of Insecticons. This takes time however and in roleplay usually can take days for even a small force while an army could take a month or more considering on the supplies he receives. In addition to this the clones it produces are unintelligent largely reliant on commands just to function properly and without the ability to follow complicated orders.
OTHER
History[Optional as some like to make it up as they go along] : Born underground like the rest of his Cybertronian kind, Shellshock and the majority of his hive remained uninvolved in the Cybertronian Civil War for much of it's existence. As the war progressed and more of his kind began to surface under some of the most powerful of their race including Kickback, Sharpshot and Hardshell. Shellshock and his hive where one of the few to remain in place.
It would only be once the core was damaged that Shellshock, now leader of his hive began to emerge as the underground became incapable of sustaining their vast numbers. Which where quickly put to use under the Decepticon warmachine as his and his men claimed allegiance to the faction with so many of their race already.
With their natural talent for construction and creation though it wasn't long before they where sent offworld, as Shellshock found himself just as often working in campaigns as an architecture as a warrior. Which would lead to him meeting Ailnoth, a warlord who he found himself following across the galaxy in a string of successful campaigns and now to their homeworld of Cybertron.
Strengths :
MINIMUM of three bullets ( Full sentences required ).
- As a result of being an Insecticon, Shellshock is suitable stronger than most Cybertronian's of his size.
- In addition to being stronger the mech is notably more durable than similarly sized mechs, capable of shrugging off minor damage as well as possessing subsystems that can temporarily reduce the effect of major damage such as a damaged fuel tank.
- With his experience as an architect alongside his own instincts and his environmental sensors, Shellshock is highly aware of his surroundings. This allows him to use environmental features as part of combat with an uncanny skill.
Weaknesses :
MINIMUM of three bullets (Full sentences required).
- Since he is a larger Insecticon, Shellshock is rather slow this is especially notable in the case of his alternative mode which although powerful is incapable of reaching the same speeds that vehicle modes often do.
- Shellshock is also not a particularly good shot, and though capable of fighting well in close to mid range where he excels, long range combat is not his specialty. As a result of this he has also not acquired a weapon specialized for long range which requires him to close the distance, which can be difficult due to his own speed.
- Although experience has taught him how to maintain a semblance of calm when in a peaceful environment, he is still rather reckless on the battlefield. Against those who have hurt his pride he can often easily be goaded into blind retaliation.
