Locked to: Upper CoC
Protection level: Pinnacle
Home reality: Xaaron
Pull-point timestamp: {Co-responds to early 1990's, probably 1991. Also fits in after the merged Megatron/Ratchet was pulled back into reality, but before the Ark landed on Earth so Optimus could surrender to the Decepticons.}
Alternate form: Porsche 959 Turbo
Known history and notes: Only so much information I can provide, since he's not my reality. My first impression of him was that he's damned nosey, but this makes sense, since he's a detective.
He claims that being a detective is kind of like working security, 'without having to play by the rules.' This means that for all that he may mean well, he's got to be watched. Part of security is making sure people play by the rules. If a person thinks their job is 'like security' except that the rules don't apply to them, well... I admit that there's a time for bending rules, and there's even a time for breaking rules. But the term I'd use for someone who thinks that the rules always apply to everyone but themselves isn't a 'detective.' In fact, the term I'd use isn't appropriate for a personnel file in general.
Has a theory for why we're here, and it mostly involves Unicron, although he did mention Primus as a maybe. Has a theory for why one of the Decepticon jets was damn near able to put a whole in Omega Supreme - substance called 'Nucleon,' which his reality's Grimlock had gone off hunting. Had also clued into things being odd about 'Hardwire' pretty early on. Probably has a few more theories on a few more things that he ain't told me about. We'll see how it all plays out, I suppose.
Skills, abilities, talents: Says he likes to think of himself as a bit of everything. 'Tinker, tailor, soldier, currier.' I'm assuming he's being at least part way poetic there, because why the hell he'd spend time making clothes is beyond me. Cybertronians in his reality don't seem to wear them anymore than they do mine.
As for his primary function, I haven't had much chance to judge him yet, but as I said, he picked up on Hardwire pretty early and noticed things like how the color of Hardwire's 'designs' was the same shade of green that Long Haul sports, which shows he can be pretty observant. Pretty bright, too, but it seems like he jumps pretty far to conclusions without much backing. Claims to be a 'counter-intuitive' thinker.
Weaknesses: Somehow or another, he seems to have developed a tendency towards sexism. Considering most the other Transformers from his reality don't even seem to understand gender as it relates to our species, it's a bit baffling where he picked that up. If he keeps it up, though, he's either going to end up underestimating a Decepticon female at a dangerous time or knocked on his backside by one of ours for running off on the mouth.
