History
Indoctrinated at an early age to respect and fear the Predacon government, it is unsurprising that Plutocron joined the military as soon and served as well as he did. Unlike Rhommer, his service was both long and distinguished. He was discharged honorably at a later age than most, with a full and admirable career safely under his belt. Plutocron attempted to enjoy his retirement, but found himself unable to. The military tradition so engrained in him seemed to conflict with the ‘soft’ world he had been discharged into. Seeking to regain some small portion of his lost life, he began to look for an outfit in need of an able commander. In the end he sacrificed his very loyalistic sense of honor and morality to win himself a place in the growing Conformist movement. Though at first he was a minority amongst the hoards of untrained Lightning Corps men, he worked steadily to strengthen the more traditionally taught ex-military elements, and to gather more.
Having pushed himself to the fore of the Conformist movement’s Established Military, he was tapped by Jonas to begin dialogues with local Rim units and commanders. It is Plutocron’s ultimate aim to draw these well trained, yet discontented forces over to his side, giving him near ultimate command of an army that would outnumber even Rhommer’s Lightning Corp, which he considers barbaric and undisciplined. A cudgel in place of a well-turned sword.
Personality
Plutocron is a very conservative military ‘bot who has all but given away his professional loyalties in the hopes of one day commanding a large army. To Plutocron, the military is his life, and more important than anything so indefinable as his own integrity. A gifted battle strategist and product of ‘proper’ military training, he looks upon all former army (etc.) ‘bots as a cut above the rest. The rest being the thugs, bullies, and butchers in the Lightning Corps, whom he loathes. For him, proving the Corps inferiority to ‘disciplined’ troops would be as big a victory as molding a widely feared army. To this end Plutocron has pursued a relentless all out policy of recruiting new military ‘bots and tempting existing units over to Jonas’s side. Gruff, to the point, and capable of ordering even the most violent act if it is militarily viable, Plutocron is one ‘bot you do not want to cross. Once he has set his mind to a task, there is nothing in the universe that can alter it. He has decided, in this case, that he will build an army for Jonas at any cost. If that means murdering those who stand in either his or Jonas’s way…so be it.
Appearance
Robot Mode: Standing seven feet tall, Plutocron has a thin yet well-proportioned frame that conveys a picture of his former agility. His Beast Mode head flattens against his back, as do the remaining dark green chameleon appendages. The rest of his body is a deep cobalt blue. Plutocron has an angular looking form, especially in his face, which is sharply featured and more often than not, twisted into the contemptuous gaze he gives ‘lesser’ ‘bots. Plutocron is old, true, but far from dead. He radiates a cruel intelligence, which is evident behind his piercing white optics.
Beast Mode: An average Terran chameleon, Plutocron is a dark green color with four low legs, a curling tail, and bulging off yellow eyes. Being a Beast Warrior, his Beast Mode is indistinguishable from a normal chameleon, except in his abnormal size.
