Attached are two pictures of Cannonball, one with his normal "tattoos," and one where the pirate themed tattoos are covered with painted circuit designs and with an Autobot symbol.
"We first ran into this thug at the big Power Plant battle back on Gillanan III - where he was pretending to be an Autobot, going by the name 'Hardwire,' and firing on the other Decepticons. None of us were in a position to recognize him back then, and our situation kind of forces higher levels of trust than I'm particularly happy with, so he came back with us. We started suspectin' something was up pretty early, though. His behavior was pretty off, and now and again he'd slip into another speech pattern. That, and Perceptor figured out that his radio 'damage', the damage that conveniently kept him off the Autobot frequency, looked pretty, well, intentional. When the pressure was on, he cracked and showed his true colors, took Holi hostage, then demanded his radio back and that we let him escape.
"We let 'em. Mostly because the dope had just handed us a perfect chance to listen in on the 'Con frequencies.
"Turns out the guy's a pirate, and from my understanding a pretty decent one. He's also a terrible spy. Pretty run-of-the-mill in terms of power, though he's from that screwy 'key' realities so he's gotta summon the power of god just to use some of his guns or whatever.
"Rumor has it he's not too pleased with having gone from being a self-servin', booty-seekin' pirate captain to having to fight on behalf of someone else's 'cause'. This may be something we can use, but I'd be careful about it because the guy is also, for lack of a better word, complete and utter used-lube slime. Purchased Clipper in an auction for uses I'm not gonna go into here except to say that yeah, they're about as bad as you're thinking they might be. He didn't have her long - we got a rescue party in there right quick. Just letting you know that he's the sort who takes child-likes hostage, either for advantage or worse, and I'm kind of thinking we haven't seen the depths this guy's willing to sink to if he's getting something out of it, so if anyone's wanting to play on his discontent, they'll need to keep that in mind."
