Name: Rivet Allegiance: Autobot Function: Courier/Pet Motto: "Speed is the the key to my survival" Strength: 4 Intelligence: 4 Speed: 8 Endurance: 5 Courage: 7 Firepower: 4 Skill: 6 Alternate Mode: N/A Profile: Rivet is a silver robotic fox the same size as an american mountain lion, she has narrow blue optics and small but sharp teeth, and can only communicate with yips, howls and whimpers just like the rest of her kind. Found by Mirage after a successful hunt in the underground factory discharge tunnels, she surprisingly 'adopted' him and followed him home. Though he saw her as an annoyance at first, Rivet's loyal, curious nature began to grow on Mirage and he eventually gave in, keeping her as a pet, then using her as a courier/messenger during the War. When he was chosen for the Ark crew, Mirage persuaded Prime to allow him to bring Rivet along if he agreed to keep her in his quarters. As the war on Earth progressed and Mirage and Hound became bond-mates, Rivet became jealous of the other Autobot and will not hesitate to give the scout a nip or two. Abilities/Armament: Rivet, like all of her kind, has the ability to run very, very fast and has highly developed scent receptors like most Turbo-foxes, making her an excellent tracker and hunter. Because of her job as a war-time courier, Mirage had her fitted with defensive weaponry. She carries small, light, but deadly twin missile-launchers on the sides of her body, each missile is the equivalent of 50 lbs of explosive. She also has a small, but powerful laser implanted in her head, one that slides in and out of a concealed area on her mental command. Weaknesses: Rivet, like all other Turbo-foxes, has no alternate mode. Her kind are feral, possessing the typical mindset of an wild creature (sleep, eat, etc) and don't trust easily. Rivet relies on her speed, agility and dexterity to avoid capture, though a really determined land-based enemy in alt. mode may be able to catch her.
