Ransack

ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
SUB-GROUP(S): ROTORCON
FUNCTION: AIR RECONNAISSANCE FIGHTER
“If there’s a chance for destruction, I take it!”

Smooth, affable and charming; Ransack is popular among his fellow Decepticons—but only because he knows where the Autobots are! Spends most of his time at great altitudes over Autobot encampments and strongholds, painstakingly mapping their positions and devising aerial attack strategies. Any information he gleans, he keeps to himself to ensure his position in the ranks. Prefers to stay out of battle, but if stirred—or worse, shot down—he will fight ferociously and with a vengeance.

Abilities: Ransack’s alternate mode is that of an Earthen “F4U Corsair” aircraft which can reach speeds of up to 640 km/h. In this mode, Ransack is armed with six .50-caliber “Browning” machine guns, each capable of firing over 2,000 rounds. He is also equipped with a magnetic field generator which can disrupt sonar and radar sensors, granting Ransack limited stealth capabilities. In robot mode, Ransack’s rocket-powered propellor assembly can launch auto-loading “splitter-discs” which can slice enemy limbs in two.

Weaknesses: When flying at slow speeds, and especially when landing, Ransack’s engine is prone to stalling. If operated for extended periods of time, his magnetic field generator can burn out.
