Physical Description:
-Beast Mode: Overdrive looks like a timber wolf. His fur is jet black and is almost undetectable when in shadow.
-Robot Mode: even in robot mode, he looks distinctly canine. His legs sweep backwards the same way that they do in beast mode. This allows him to travel long distances in a short period of time. From waist upwards there is nothing unusual from a standard humanoid frame apart from the long tail jutting out at the base of his spine. His head is much more human, well it would be if it wasn’t for the ears sat squarely on top of his head. He is blind in his left and decided to have a fake one that is black to create the illusion of an empty socket. His right eye is almost a pure neon blue and seems to stare into your very soul. He transforms with a white light.

Abilities:
-Heightened Senses: Overdrive has sight, hearing and smell tweaked to an inch of burning out. Only one person has managed to sneak up on him.
-Kailindo: An ancient martial art that is hard to master and deadly to face. It uses balance and the skill of changing forms to your advantage.
-Acrobatics: Overdrive is acrobatic and perform various flips and jumps.

Weapons:
-Claws and Teeth: Overdrive has natural claws and teeth in beast mode and claws in robot mode. they can shred through light armer with more or less no effort at all, but have trouble scratching heavier armour.
-Broadsword: Overdrive occasionally carries a broadsword although it is rather bulky and tends to slow him down and destroy his stealthy appearance. just slightly higher up his body than his waist this sword is easily capable of cutting an enemy in two but due to it's extreme size and weight this will most possibly happen if the enemy doesn't hear him behind them. it's hilt has only one point of interest which is it has marks which indicates how many have been killed by it. so far it's up to 3 out of the dozens of battles he has been in.

Powers:
-Stealth: Overdrive has a strange ability to make any noise he makes disappear.

Equipment:
-Communications Gear: This is simply a short-range radio built into his head. Any one trying to tap into the communication will hear only howling wolves.

Personality: Overdrive tries to stay focused on the task at hand but tends to get very distracted by even simple things. He likes to keep himself to himself. At present he is wound up in his own personal fight over whether or not to join in the fight properly or just provide occasional support. when asked about his past, overdrive will just give a little shrug and walk away. he only ever trusted a few people and he was responsible for their deaths. now he blames himself fully for this and refuses to get close to anyone so that their is no more innocent blood on his hands. about the only time he speaks is in battle or whenever there something that must be said. Overdrive strongly believes in the old saying "it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are an idiot, than to open your mouth and actually prove it."

History: Ever since he was young Overdrive was looking up to the old warriors and placing his faith in them as role models. He always had a certain respect for Optimus Prime and promised himself that one day he would serve alongside the autobot leader whomever it may be. But the war broke out again while he was in orbit. His home town was among the first to be attacked by the vehicons and was unable to do anything about it. Many innocent people were killed and for a short period he was unable to think straight and launched a one man assault against the new threat. His body dying and spirit broken he withdrew and went into stasis. Here he remained hidden and undiscovered. After some years the pod was reactivated by a timer and while scanning for nearby life a wolf was passing by. The pod scanned this and reformed his body. Months went by and learning all he could through training and interrogation finally found himself ready to restart the fight. Feeling responsible for failing in his previous mission he vowed not to fight alongside the maximals until he knew everything he had to do.
