Description I was originally going to scrap this character and drawing, but decided to use her as practice. She's one of my last few designs with no real engineering.
But having created a decent character for her, I may keep her around, and update her design.
Didn't realize I hadn't uploaded this yet.

Name: Mudskipper
Faction: Autobot
Subgroup: None
Alt. Mode: Frontend Loader
Function: Engineering Technician
Motto: "The frontline is only as strong as it's support."

Profile:
No one has ever accused Mudskipper of making bad jokes. She tends to take herself and her job very seriously. Often being told to "Lighten up," most Autobots just don't understand her. The tragic truth is, Mudskipper has experienced first hand the results of a half-hearted job.
Before joining the Autobot cause, Mudskipper was a simple construction Foreman. A skyscraper she was in charge of overseeing was not properly reinforced. Some workers under her decided to cut corners to bring it in under budget. The result was a catastrophic collapse that ended the lives of many workers, and that has weighed heavily on her shoulders, as a silent burden ever since.
Uncomfortable on the frontlines, she feels she is most useful in the rear, constructing the strongest reinforced barracks and shelters she can, to provide a safe place for soldiers and refugees alike. Her Autobot companions may not understand her, but they all rest easy knowing full well that Mudskipper has their backs.

Abilities:
As a frontend loader, Mudskipper's shovel is powerful enough to dig through 5' thick solid titanium. It bares Diamond-tipped teeth that are composed of a nearly unbreakable Unobtanium/PolyCybertronium Alloy composite. And she is capable of pulling up to 100k tons.
As a robot, Mudskipper is one of the larger known femmebots. Immensely strong, few Decepticons, or even Autobots want to face her in hand to hand combat. In place of a left hand, she bares a fusion welder, that can cut through almost all known metals.

Weaknesses:
As a frontend loader, Mudskipper is only capable of reaching a top speed of 50 mph, which makes her a liability when a speedy retreat is in order. Her size tends to work against her as a robot, as well, making some delicate and detailed work difficult for her.

Would you mind if I reinterpreted her in TF Animated style?
