One of the oldest surviving Autobots.

Usually has his arms tucked in unless he’s actively using them.

Despite there being a war on and rations, he usually has a Cy-gar, just chuckles when asked where he got it from usually.

Younger than Megatron.

Lost a leg in the war, it was blown off and wasn’t able to be reattached or replaced, so it was sealed up and some corrective surgeries made his remaining rear leg more centralised so he can balance better. He still has a bit of a limp and his run is a little hobbled.

Will make gripes about his age occasionally, usually when others think he should be faster than he his or do things better that he’s not as good at anymore.

Loves telling stories.

No, really, he’ll often try to link a situation to an ‘adventure’ he’s already had and tell it.

Due to this he often has the Dinobots tailing after him, or some of the more easily-entertained younger bots.

Sleeps a touch longer than other Autobots, he grumbles about it when it’s pointed out.

Knows what a “meme” is but uses them wrongly. The look of their souls dying on the inside while they keep silent in an attempt to be ‘polite’ fuels him. He jokes to Magnus or some of the other senior officers that “it fuels him”.

Had a child.

Grumbles a lot about various aches and pains, but will act offended if you try to be softer on him because he’s ‘old’ with ‘aches and pains’.

He’s both incredibly protective of, but also very harsh on the younger troops. He doesn’t want them risking their lives on some stupid, reckless mission they’re not trained for especially when he's the rusty old one and not some young newbie with their whole lives ahead of them.

That being said, his “bark is worse than his bite” when it comes to his training. Usually. He’s also always ready to dispense some “sagely advice” when called on.

When given the chance he will hang around a bar with a pint of high-grade and being a little rowdy.

Likes to lean against younger bots he’s comfortable with, like Arcee and Hot Rod, and doze off. They’re fine with it because he’ll move when they want to get up.

Bit gruff.
