Name: Powerglide

Make: Decepticon

Role: Autobot Aerial Support

Bio: Powerglide is among a handful of Decepticons who have joined up with Optimus Prime, and by extension is one of his only soldiers capable of true flight. This has given him an extremely important role amongst the Autobots, which has done nothing to deflate his already huge ego. Powerglide is good and he knows it, and although he doesn't constantly pronounce it, one doesn't need to spend much time around him to figure it out.

Other Autobots sometimes try to theorize why he joined up with them, but it's actually quite simple. Powerglide might be an imposing force amongst the Autobot ranks, but he's a pipsqueak compared to his fellow Decepticons. He hates people who pick on those smaller and weaker than them, and sees Megatron's ideology as simply a large-scale realization of this behavior. Powerglide has a bit of temper, even coming to blows at times, but he never directs it at those who can't take it.

Abilities: Powerglide isn't just one of the only fliers amongst the Autobots; He's one of Cybertron's best fliers bar none. While his small for a Decepticon size can be a liability when it's robot against robot, in vehicle mode it turns into an major asset. He can fly circles around the Decepticon jets, and even sophisticated anti-air weaponry has difficulty shooting him down.

His Decepticon make also provides him with a variety of integrated weaponry. While primarily designed for aerial combat, these weapons can be improvised with quite effectively on land, when the situation calls for it.

Notes: (From Thundercracker): I hate that little showoff! Always with the loop de loops and slagging barrel rolls! And he thinks he's funny too. That's the worst part actually. He makes all these little jokes and quips, like he's in some action movie! "Guess red waves are faster than blue waves, Decepticreep!" That's not how waves work!

One of these days I'm going to blow that little cretin out of the sky! I would say I'd be disappointed if someone else got the opportunity first, but let's face it. It's going to be me.
