Hey guys, this is my design for the Infusion version of the awesome Autobot architect (try saying that 3 times fast), Grapple. This one was a lot of fun, and it was a definite challenge to make as well. I don't really have any gripes with it either. Of course, that's gonna vary with everyone. Oh well, I hope you enjoy him.

A little bit about this concept:

- Grapple's alt mode is a Scania R Series Liebherr LTF 1060-4.1 mobile crane.

- This isn't Grapple's original techno-organic body. The same accident that destroyed Perceptor's body (it was a Decepticon trip mine) cost him a majority of his. So he was given technological parts and a new alt mode.

- He has an amazing structural intellect, able to map out any structure, existing or about to exist.

- Grapple is a bit taller than he used to be, thanks to the re-scan and the upgrades. He's also a great deal stronger, able to lift at least 30 tons without breaking a sweat.

- He's also a pretty big glutton, eating a lot more food than he could usually handle and not gaining an nano-ounce.

- His friends are mostly Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Perceptor and Soulstice, since they seem to appreciate his creative tendencies the most. He also appreciates Optimus's kindness, as he considers it a breath of fresh air compared to all the criticism he has to put up with from Nova Prime.

- He often butts heads with Prowl for being so "hard to caring", and with Arcee for taking her bad habits out on everybody else.

- Weaponry-wise, Grapple has an extending left arm, an aerosol cement cannon and right shoulder spikes. His super strength also adds to how dangerous he can be in combat.

- Personality-wise, Grapple is a very virtuous and really nice guy when it comes down to it, but ever since his accident, he's been pretty pissed off. Either he scraps a Decepticon in his rage or an appliance. Either way, it's something he really needs to work on.

- The transformation is really cool and somewhat similar to Armada Bonecrusher. Part of the cab becomes the right arm, chest and abs, the other part becomes the left leg, half of the wheel base becomes the right leg, the other half becomes the spine, and the crane becomes the left arm.

- If I had a voice for him, it would be Greg Cipes voice for Kevin Levin in Ben 10: Alien Force.
