Physical Description:
-Robot Mode: Transyte is a large, but not overly hulking Con. Unlike most of the bots and cons, Transyte is sleek and curved, instead of sharp cornered. Overall, he has the basic shape of a Terran, where he appears smooth and muscular. His feet are medium sized with the hover generators in the soles. He also has knee high boot armor that have three small fins extending out o the outside of each one. His upper legs are smooth and large, with a piece of armor covering the fronts, backs, and sides of each upper leg. He wars a "suit" of armor from his pelvic region up to his chest, which is sectional. In the middle of his torso, he has a slightly raised section that is slanted down. In the middle of the is a diamond shaped gem, simply decor. He wears armor across his entire shoulder length, which resemble shoulder pads and is also sectional and extend up on the sides of his neck. His arms are smooth and muscular, but have armor bands covering most of his upper arms, but ending at the elbow, though they extend to a point, half the length of his forearm, on the backside of the arm. He wears a square piece of armor on the back of each hand and has a piece of finger armor on each of his ten fingers. On the shoulder armor, there are two medium sized fins on each shoulder. On his back, he has a diamond shaped backpack, in which he keeps his Qualta Blade, but is really his jet thruster pack, which the thrusters extend from the bottom sides of the pack. His head has three sections to it. The first is the main component, which holds the shape and the chrome optic visor. The second is the mouth, which consists of two parts, one that connects it to the main body, and the mouth piece, which looks like Sub-Zero’s or Scorpion’s mask and has the same color as the armor. Near the mouth connection on each side of the main body are vents for air output and intake. The last part is the helmet, which is reminiscent of a samurai helmet, where it has a steep incline in front and a long decline on the back. At the center in the front is the laser port and has audio receptors on each side of this. The helmet is split down the middle on the top, and it comes to two points in the back, forming a ‘V’. Main color scheme is fluorescent blue and the armor and fins are transparent.


-Alt. Mode: Transyte’s hovercar mode has the shape of a rain drop with a large wing on the back, which is shaped like a pentagon, the odd point into the body, but the rear end is caved in, making it look like a heptagon. Extending from the caved in rear is the jet thruster pack. The bottom is flat and has two large hover generators, one near the front and the other near the back. Topside, it has a curve similar to his helmet, steep incline, long decline. On the incline, a chrome windshield is found and some transparent armor guards the nose of the car. Along the decline, sectioned armor plates cover the spine, or where the two isdes meet. More armor covers the edges of the wing. On the main body, three fins are on each side with another pair where the body meets the wing and one on each end of the wing. Also on the wing, there are two latches where a large bot can secure himself in and go for a ride. Color is fluorescent blue with measurements of 20 ft. in length and 7 ft. in width at the wing.

-Cunning: Considers this an ability because he uses it very often to trick the enemy, or even his allies, to benefit Transyte in some way.

Weapons:
-Qualta Blade: Transyte’s weapon of choice, given to him by his only friend Twilyte. It measures 17 ft. in length and is colored silver. It has the shape of a great sword with no decorative hilt or handle, just simple and made of a strong and durable metal alloy. The actual blade is thick and blunt on the sides, but the tip and a foot down on each side is sharp, able to pierce most metals and armors while the blunt sides are used to beat and bash, able to create slight dents in the strongest metals and armors. There is a line going down the middle of the blade, but cuts diagonally once it reaches the hilt. On the hilt, there is a button that when pressed, the blade splits in half and reveals a plasma blaster. The handle bends down to form a handle and has a trigger for the blaster. The blaster fires plasma blasts that are capable of damaging the strongest metals and armors, but the rate of fire is only one blast per second and is semi-automatic. Down side is that it only has 25 blasts per charge and it takes half a mega cycle to charge it back to full charge. Kept in thruster pack when not in use and must be held with two holds in both of it’s forms.
-Laser: A simple laser that fires from the port on his helmet. Not designed to do much damage, but can cut through weaker metals and armors. Used mainly for threat and diversions.

Equipment/Items:
-Hover Generators: Two circle generators on the bottom of his hovercar mode and his feet in robot mode, they are able to keep Transyte afloat for up to heights of 10 ft.
-Jet Thrusters: A thruster pack on the rear of his hovercar mode and his back in robot mode, these are able to propel him to decent speeds and aid the hover generators in flight in robot mode.
-Comm: Standard comm link built into his head.
-Scanner: Standard scanner, built into his head, that is able to detect most energy extertions or signals.

Personality: Transyte is the typical Decepticon, but not at the same time. He is the tyrant, the manipulator, and the people’s leader all in one. Like most Decepticon commanders, Transyte is extremely demanding of his troops and does not favor failure, but at the same time he doesn’t kill one who has failed right on the spot, as he knows of their overall value to him and his cause. Instead, he makes an example of one who has failed, often by torturing of beating him/her and having his other troops witness this. It has the desired effect of strengthening that soldier and making the others stronger by having the notion of what will happen to them if they fail. In the long run, they realize this helps them and they are glad that Transyte does this. He has won over the "approval" of not only his troops, but other soldiers and Commanders as well through his multiple displays of both physical and mental strength and his leadership abilities. He thinks of his units as his own kin and treats them with great respect, even when instituting his "tough love". But all of this is the mere surface of his mind and his ideals. Transyte is a true manipulator, which is his true self. There are a select few who he trusts, and even those he keeps one eye on at all times. Like a true Decepticon, he is always looking for personal gain and to strengthen his status in the high ranks of the Decepticon army, often relying on others to do his work for him through his manipulation. He looks for every opportunity to make other rival commanders look bad and decrease their popularity, even in battle, only to rise up and correct the mistakes they made, thus strengthening his popularity.

He surrounds himself with a small circle of trustees, who are aware of his goals of power and willingly aid him, but are unaware of their own manipulation. He has this close circle do his dirty work, often inciting struggles of conflict for power between other Commanders, which in turn leads to revolts within the Decepticon army, while Transyte steps in and brings them back together. Transyte hungers for absolute power, whether it be through total conquest or through other means, he craves it, yet he is no fool and thus he respects his troops in hopes of diminishing all thoughts of revolt. When it comes to following orders from a superior officer, he does it with no questions asked, but does it in a way that profits him more than the entire Decepticon force, and to hide his intentions from his superiors. He respects some of the high ranking officers, like Megatron and Soundwave, for their great intelligence, both on and off the field of battle, but others he has no respect for and sees them as only lackies looking for scraps.

When not working on moving himself up in the ranks, he can be found either working on or studying strategies or socializing with other soldiers, both low and high rank, learning more about them to gain a step ahead in his goals and against the Autobots, knowing where to put certain soldiers, etc. He has two philosophies by which he lives by. The first one being that ‘A strong leader must be backed by a strong force to achieve victory.’. The second one, his private one, is ‘A strong force must be unknowingly controlled to achieve ultimate victory.’. It is because of these philosophies that he has made a mark on all of Cybertronian civilization.

He considers no one to be his friend, nor let’s anyone get to close to him, as he truly trusts no on but himself. He once had a friend, Twilyte, back in his days as a mere soldier, but once he was killed, to due a failed mission, Transyte’s attitude toward life changed and he set out to change the system to his ways, and was soon consumed by the power. He is one of the most social Decepticons ever seen and he works well with others, whether it be giving them commands or fighting alongside them.

History: Transyte was brought online on Cybertron during a time where war was on stand still between Autobots and Decepticons, but he was thrown on a shuttle and taken to Charr, where the Decepticon army was training new recruits. He spent the next 100 stellar cycles of his life here. Once on Charr, his training began, where all day long he would physically train with weapons and endurance, while during the night, he took to studying past battles to widen his intelligence on strategies, which he knew were the key to victory. He searched through data disk after data disk, studying the past leaders of both factions and the stratgeies they often employed.

Eventually, Transyte met a Decepticon named Twilyte, who used a new weapon called a Qualta Blade, a weapon which intrigued Transyte greatly. A few days later, the grunts were split into their specialized training, and at this point, Transyte took to training in Strategies and Melee Combat. In his strategy training, his hobby had proved to pay off, as his instructor called him "a truly ingenious Strategist.", as Transyte proved numerous times through his sim battles, where he quickly assembled proficient strategies and came away with victories every time, unscathed. Meanwhile, his melee combat training was going slowly, but he was showing improvement with every practice, especially with Twilyte giving him private lessons on the side, whenever he was around. Transyte and Twilyte became very good friends, but Twilyte was called to duty and Transyte was left to his own studies, eventually being called to service himself as strategic commander. His unit was sent to the outer most moon of Cybertron, where reports indicated that a crippled force of Autobots had taken refuge there. When they arrived, Transyte set up a strategy and the force attacked the Autobots, but the Autobots immediately retreated, which struck Transyte as odd as he was them able to defend themselves for a good time. As the Decepticons closed in, Transyte came to the realization that it was a trap and called the retreat just as a second force of Autobots attacked them. The Decepticon force managed to retreat, with only two casualties, from what would have otherwise been a massacre. Once he returned, most of his unit gave him new respect and praise, declaring that they would gladly fight with him anytime. Transyte accepted this and returned to his quarters. When he walked in, he found Twilyte’s Qualta Blade on his table with a note, which said that he thanked Transyte for being his friend and that he is giving him this Qualta Blade as a sign of their friendship. Transyte later found out that Twilyte was killed for failing his mission, which was to assassinate a group from the Autobot Council of Light. Transyte grieved for the loss of his friend, and swore that night that he would change the system.

Short afterwards, Transyte rejoined his unit and for the next 300 stellar cycles they became an vital component to the Decepticon army With the revolutionary strategies employed by Transyte and the exectution with which his unit pulled them off, they became known as the X Factor by other units. With only a loss of 18 soldiers, four being reassigned, Transye led the X Factor to numerous victories, some with great impact, others just trifles, and this was taken note by Megatron, who assigned Transyte as Commanding Strategist of the Decepticon Army, second only to Megatron and his chosen generals. Transyte was then reassigned from the Cybertronian front to Earth, where under the command of Soundwave, he began his ascent of the ladder to Supreme Command. Quickly after this however, Decepticon Sub-Commander Vicious broke away, with a few others, and formed the Manifest Destiny. Transyte, which saw this as a radical move, and a way to improve his status, left Soundwave's forces and joined up with the Manifest Destiny, not really caring about what they were or stood for, juts caring about himself.
