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!"
