Physical Description:
-Beast Mode: Dark brown monkey, wiring visible in neck and arms, tail is green technorganic vine. Green eyes. About 4 feet tall on hind legs. Tail is usually about a foot long, but can be extended to 20 feet.
-Robot Mode: Spark glows green in transformation. Tail is somewhat shorter but still present. Face is similar to BW Rattrap, but with primate features instead of rodent ones. Forearms, chest, lower legs and parts of face are metallic grey, rest is brown, with green wires or veins visible that appear to contain green organic goo, or some similar substance. The green parts emit a soft glow when he is concentrating or sleeping. Overall form is thin, wirey and agile-looking. Feet still have toes and can grasp.

Personality: Sometimes playful, sometimes immersed in deep thought, sometimes both. Quick to make decisions, jokes, and sarcastic comments in battle and social situations, but when what he sees as a complex, difficult question comes up, he will examine it thoughtfully, carefully, and, if possible, scientifically. As a post-adolescent, he has a mix of enthusiasm and cynicism, as well as alienation from his older and younger comrades, though he doesnt show it often. His sarcasm and joking get on the nerves of some, as does the fact that he seems to see battle as nothing more than a game. At first he did see it as just that, but later, after losing friends, the playfulness became a way to shield himself from the pain and fear. Or else it could just be that he loves to defeat a "proud warrior" like its just a friendly game of ball.

Specialties:
-Biotechnology (He works at actually understanding how this technorganic thing works, instead of just treating it like some sort of magic, even if some things are beyond the current reach of science)
-Tech bot /Gadget Making
-General Biology
-Navigation/Spacial Sense
-Acrobatics (note that most of the speed stat is related to reaction time and agility, not top speed)
-High Speed Improvised Fighting

Weaponry:
-Energy orbs: formed in hands, baseball sized, usually thrown, sometimes directly pushed into enemy. He has some control over how much gravity, inertia, and friction affect them. About as damaging as the average small blaster.
-Vines: Shot out of outer forearms, cling to surfaces. Can be used Spiderman style, but also leech energy out of target. This energy can be either used for the vines to grow more, restraining the victim or growing on to somewhere else, or, if still attached to Primator, he himself can use the energy (tho being tethered to a much larger and stronger enemy for any period of time is usually a bad thing)

Equipment:
-Instrument kit: scientific tools for several different uses, from repair to taking readings to biochemistry. All of this he collects or designs himself, and the inventory is constantly changing according to his needs. (not sure about what each specific thing is. if any really impressive items are included, I'll mention them somewhere in the story a while before he actually uses them)

Abilities:
-Extendable tail: By chemical reactions similar to those involved in Rattrap's catalyst, tail can grow and shrink from a foot to twenty in about .75 clicks.
-Control of plant life: Limited, slowly expanding ability to promote and control plant growth. In the interval between now and when he last appeared, he began to understand this as a symbiotic relationship, rather than pure control.

History: Prior to the virus/reformatting he was a young researcher at the Cybertronian Institutes, the planets foremost research institution, and cutting edge technology center. Primator was involved both in exobiology, and projects to improve Maximal technology, particularly in regards to beast modes. As part of the project, he and several colleagues took on Beast Modes to improve their understanding of the technology. This made them somewhat immune to the virus, but the project was well known, so Megatron knew to send drones to the Institute right away. Only primator escaped, passing through the arboretum on the way out. Thus he had some plant matter on him when reformatted, and became a sort of monkey-plant fuzor. His technical expertise in precisely the area that most concerned and baffled the refomatted Maximals made him valuble early on, even making him Chief Science officer, but his work was slow, and soon overshadowed by the military campaign. Participates in most, but not all, battles, and just happened to miss the ones that made everyone else get abducted by the Drocans, and transported to this new Cybertron. He was involved in a rescue mission hastily launched after the disappearance to this new Cybertron, from which he (to his knowledge) was the only one to make it to where the Maximals disappeared to alive. The details surrounding this are foggy in his mind, as both a crash and the distortion caused by the device on the ship messed with his short term memory somewhat, but his unique perspective on the event could hold clues to understanding it.
