Name: Sunstreaker

Make: Autobot

Role: Autobot Commando

Bio: One of the last bots brought online before the Well of All Sparks dried up, Sunstreaker is something of a prodigy. Training alongside his sparkbrother Sideswipe, Sunstreaker became a master of martial arts, and deceptively one of Cybertron's most deadly killing machines. While his brother Sideswipe continued to hone his craft, Sunstreaker became a gladiator, in order to satiate his deep desire to be noticed. Sunstreaker mostly avoided the more violent underground matches, content to merely beat his opponents to a pulp while being showered in adoration and sponsorship deals. But eventually, Sunstreaker's ego got the better of him, and he sought to prove his mettle by taking part in one of the planet's underground arenas. Almost immediately he was beaten within an inch of his life by Megatron, and in the aftermath withdrew from public life.

Sunstreaker is an egoist, bordering on narcissistic, and his behavior has earned him few friends amongst his comrades. He can be dismissive of his allies' needs, even in combat, and at the same time becomes angry and withdrawn when he believes he isn't being shown the attention he deserves. But in the end, Sunstreaker joined Prime's Autobots for a reason, even if it can take a lot for him to remember that.

Abilities: Sunstreaker is one of the most skilled warriors on Cybertron. He is capable of taking on foes twice his size, and even those zooming through the air, a skillset he shares with his brother Sideswipe. He is quite fast in vehicle mode thanks to the presence of boosters on the rear of the car, which end up on his back in robot mode and allows him to make short but powerful jumps.

Despite his capabilities in combat, or perhaps because of it, Sunstreaker remembers his defeats. He ruminates on them, letting the memories grow, sometimes to the point where it can cause cowardice in the heat of the moment.

Notes: (From Sideswipe): Sunstreaker's one tough cookie. Half of what I know I learned from him (and the other half I learned trying to beat him in our sparring matches). He's dangerous though, and Prime knows it. Sometimes he even scares me, but he always comes around in the end.

But the point of the matter is, the Autobots need true warriors right now, and Sunstreaker's the best one we got (at least for now. But I'm coming for him).
