Image: Stormclaw appears as a Transmetal tiger in Beast Mode with a red and black colorscheme. His stance and tread are proud, as are his features. He radiates both strength and agility, and a watchful air that could easily be misinterpreted as calmness. Claws and fangs, plus bestial strength and speed, are the tiger's forte.
His vehicle mode adds four wheels to his animal form.
Transformed into robot mode, Stormclaw keeps his aura of pride and control, as his Transmetal appearance enhances his features. Not overly tall (7'2"), this Predacon commands respect because of his actions, not because of his size. He sports twin blades, as well as a laser mounted on his left forearm. However, as strong believer of the Code of Honor, he chooses melee combat over distance warfare most of the time.

History: Few Cybertrons know the details of Stormclaw's past. As far as most are concerned, the ambitious young spark was given a body, and very soon after that trained as a warrior. It turned out that both his subroutines as well as his physical mechanisms were extremely well suited to this carreer, and Stormclaw found himself climbing the ranks quickly. More of a Predacon Hero than a military leader, he operated in the front lines using his own interpretations of the Code of Honor. He was an asset to one of the Domain Lords on the Predacon half of Cybertron, where clan wars were still fought out. He kept his audio receptors open at all times, and thus learned about the history of his home planet, as well as about Matrix Lore.
After some twenty five years of loyal service, Stormclaw invested all of his hard earned payment to undergo the Transmetalization process. A proud warrior, he had longed for a stronger body for a long time already. He was not displeased with the result, and now harnesses it's potential to the fullest.
Recently, an opportunity arose. His Lord, respecting his prime operative for all he was worth, told him of a mission he had come to hear of. This mission would be perfect for the young warrior to gain experience as leader of a team of dedicated Predacons. Stormclaw acted instantly, and landed the job a few weeks later.

Roleplaying hints: Ambition is Stormclaw's driving force. He is good at what he does, and he knows it. A strong supporter of the Code of Honor, he will not tolerate failure or cowardice from anyone, himself especially. He is relatively new to commanding troops, but does so more on instinct that rational thought. Since he has taken up command of the small group of warriors he is troubled by nightmares, which can leave him operating below maximum efficiency during the day.
He is extremely pleased with his new Transmetal body, almost to the point of vanity. However, he would never allow such personal emotions to hinder his decision making. His voice is suave but can instantly become harsh and to the point when the situation calls for it.
Stormclaw rewards his troops for missions well done by sharing his pride for the Predacon cause: he inspires them with the promise of glory and fame, and makes them feel part of it. Traitors and weaklings, however, can expect punishment, or even death.

Quotes: "I cannot allow myself the luxury of underestimating the Maximals."
"Excellent! Fellow Predacons, we are on the road to victory!"
