BASICS
Designation : Salvo
Nicknames: Sal
Gender : Mech
Faction : Autobot
Occupation : Warrior, strategist, Wrecker
Personality :
Off the battle field, Salvo doesn't seem like the Wrecker type, he acts like the laid back happy go lucky slacker for the most part. But, even though it seems like he's slacking off he's carefully analyzing the situation, looking for anything he can take advantage of, whether it's looking various weaknesses from both friends, and foe's a like. Or figuring out how to use the environment to give him an edge in combat. He trusts few, and respects even fewer, so if you manage to gain his friendship you can almost guarantee he'll be there to back you up. He gets along with everyone for the most part, but loves to debate with others making getting along with him very difficult. Salvo also has a strong sense of honor, and although it doesn't seem like he takes it very seriously. As a result he often finds himself questioning his choice in factions, and feels it's his duty to stay the course he chose.
However he often loses himself in battle, and his personality completely flips he turns into a ruthless combatant who will stop at nothing to kill his enemy's even if it means putting his comrades at risk. It's rare when he gets like that, but when he does stay out of his way.

Description: One sentence per weapon minimum.
- The Nucelon Charge Rifle is a hard hitting sniper rifle with a slow fire rate. As the name suggests it charges up over time to reach maximum damage before firing. (Integrated in weapon systems.)
- The signature weapon of Optimus Prime, the Ion Blaster releases a wave of radiation condensed into an energy round. In War For Cybertron it behaves like a standard submachine gun. (Integrated into weapons system.)
- An unusual hand cannon, a downer as it is known possesses a decent range and a six shot magazine. The twist to this weapon is after penetrating the downer's shells while burst revealing drill bots which begin burrowing deeper into the enemies armor. These droids are rather stupid however and are just as likely to drill outwards after only a few seconds. (Side arms are holstered on both hips.)
-Swift Strike is an energon Katana given to him by his old master.
-Star shaped bladed weapons that are thrown, and are used to intimidate or imobilize, however some of them are rigged to explode on contact, for a more lethal approach.

Multipurpose visor

Salvo's visor has multiple features such as a targeting system that makes missing very difficult. The visor also has night vision, and thermo vision features to help in situations where normal optical vision won't cut it.

Description: Eversince he can remember, Salvo's always had the ability to sense raw energon within a 50 mile radius.
OTHER
History[Optional as some like to make it up as they go along] :
Salvo was a well known street racer before the exodus, always living on the edge, and for thrills. While on the run from Iacon Law Enforcement after a big race turned to high speed chase, the mech took refuge in what he thought was an abandoned Warehouse, but ended up being the home of an old Cyber-Ninja named Turbo Shot. After a brush, and a humiliating defeat at the hands of the old timer the Salvo was given two options. Train as a Cyber-Ninja, do something honorable with his life, and learn discipline or Turbo Shot would turn him in, and let the local Law Enforcement deal with it. As it turned out the mech was a prodigy when it came to combat, he learned quick, and developed skills that would normally take a Cybertronian years to perfect. After the war broke out Salvo returned to home to find his home in ruins, and his masters barely functioning frame, with his last few breaths Turbo Shot expressed how proud he was to have Salvo as a student, and bestowed upon the young mech his most prized weapon Swift Strike. In honor of his masters death Salvo took up arms, and joined the Autobots, and has vowed to do whatever it takes to help bring the war to an end even if it meant not being alive to see it. Eventually he even earned his stripes as a Wrecker when he managed to take out an entire Squadron with just his Nucleon charge Rifle, Swift Strike, and a fortunately placed energon stockpile. (Will touch up later, got writers block halfway through.)

Inside an Autobot prison complex sirens would sound trough out the entire complex, and Salvo in his Cybertronian sports car mode would speed through a corridor in pursuit of an escaped prisoner. While the car sped through the hall, a message would come over the comm-link from the commander incharge of the complex.
Commander: What the frag's taking you so long?! If the prisoner is carrying sensitive information regarding the Decepticons, and if he escapes we lose our chance of gaining an edge on the enemy.
Coming into view of said prisoner Salvo would reply in laid back tone.
Salvo: Yea yea, don't get your treads in a twist. I've got a visual on him, this con ain't going anywhere.
As soon as he caught up to the prisoner, the car would transform revealing Salvo's robot mode, he slid to a stop, and threw a shuriken toward the prisoners ankle. As soon as the shuriken hit the cons leg it would explode on contact rendering the leg useless. The con hit the ground, and a pain filled scream could be heard through the hall. The con managed to sit himself up against a wall, and smirked at the Cyber-Ninja as he began to speak.
Decepticon Prisoner: You might've caught me, but if you think I'm gonna sell out my comrades your dumber than a Dinobot!
With an expressionless look on his faceplate Salvo would draw his Katana, and put the tip to the cons throat, and would send a comm to the Commander.
Salvo: You're probably not gonna get anything outta this piece of scrap, permission to execute? I mean he's just gonna attempt to escape again, might as well put him out of his misery right here and now right?
Commander: For Primus sake, we've talked about this, we don't execute prisoners here, if we did thing's that way we'd be no better than the Decepticons! Take the Prisoner to sick bay, and then report to the control room. I haver a new assignment for you.
Salvo would simply sigh with frustration, and pulled the blade away from the prisoners throat, he then helped the con to his feet (Well foot), and escorted the mech to sick bay.
Salvo: You're lucky my superiors are merciful, because if it were up to me I'd extinguish your spark without giving it a second thought.
