Profile: Chance is an incredibly sociable little Autobot who will do his utmost to help anyone who asks it of him. On his own he's a live wire who given the opportunity would easily spend his days roaming the back streets of whatever area he finds himself in, looking for anything useful he can salvage to make ends meet. In company, he is extremely gregarious and can be trusted to make a solid attempt as lightening the mood in even the darkest of situations.

In his new role as a saboteur as he takes any task very seriously indeed and strives to complete it to the best of his ability – especially if it involves making life very stressful for some poor, unsuspecting Decepticons. While not truly vindictive or hateful at the core, the comparatively recent destruction of his home-state of Hexadecimal has left Chance with a distinct cross to bear against Decepticons and those who sympathise with them. He considers each successful hit in the line of duty to be part payback for their callous act.

Chance is a dedicated worker, he performs equally well in teams or on solo missions when called into service at any level. Although with his curious streak he does tend to be easily distracted by 'new & interesting' things and is thus best taken under the wing of a very strong leader who can keep him in check and on task if there's a possibility of this occurring. He doesn't need supervision, just a polite reminder to stay on task. Being naturally curious, he's also a damn good intelligence agent and scout when he puts his processor into it.

Physically, his small size makes him ideally suited to his role as a Covert Ops Agent allowing him to slip into the enemy camp practically unnoticed. Backed up by his speed and courage, any commander appointing the Minibot to a mission can be sure that the little fellow won't disappoint with his take on how best to complete.

Historically, Chance is native to the small settlement of Hexadecimal; an area on the western outskirts of Iacon City-State that was populated primarily by small-build and half-size Cybertronians who typically referred to themselves collectively as the Minibots. Previously a factory line technician in one of the industrial complexes there, Chance's true forte is machine maintenance and repair.

Since the attack and subsequent massacre of his fellow Minibots by Decepticon ground troops, he has undertaken extensive retraining in Iacon, signing up formally as an Autobot and developing a specialism in mechanical sabotage. He claims he can wreck any machine within mere moments if he wants to. Conversely, as might be expected with his former line of work, he's also quite a handy mech to have around should you require help with a mechanical installation or repair job. While not exactly a mechanical genius, he is more than capable of repairing most standard types of equipment in use around him and will assess and assist with repairs to items outside his range of experience solely to learn about them for future reference.

Weaknesses: Physically, Chance has very low ground clearance in vehicle mode and thus can’t take on uneven terrain, he is also very prone to overheating and stalling out when under stress in this form.

In robot mode his main weakness is his small size, a well-placed foot could be disastrous for him as his armour plating, whilst resilient to the elements is not resilient to concussive damage, as such, a one to one with any opponent vastly larger than himself could potentially be devastating.

Prolonged use of his gyro-jammer or light array can cause his electrical circuitry to short out as the two weapons were modifications rather than inbuilt tech and as such they are not fully integrated into his original power grid. Should this occur, the minibot will be left entirely defenseless and completely incapacitated, requiring medical attention as a matter of urgency.
