Name: Oblique
Allegiance: Autobot
Function: Recon
Altmode: Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut "Firkin"
Weapons:
Photon Burst Rifle; Firing three-round bursts and mounted with a scope, the Burst Rifle is an incredibly accurate and, in the right hands, deadly weapon.
Thermo-Mine Pack; A payload of nine high-explosive proximity-triggered landmines, Oblique's version of this weapon fires all nine of the bomblets over a wide area at the cost of not being able to home-in on targets like the normal version.
Special Ability:
Tactical Cloak; Allowing her to remain cloaked for an unlimited timespan so long as she remains still, Oblique's Cloaker is a useful tool for setting up ambushes or listening in on enemies. As a consequence of how power is used, the cloak immediately disables when the owner moves or fires a weapon, after which it takes a full half hour to recharge.
Dimensions:
Robot Mode; 10 Meters (30 Feet) Tall
Vehicle Mode; 22.6 Meters (67.8 Feet) Long by 16.7 Meters (50.1 Feet) Wide by 6.3 Meters (18.9 Feet) Tall
Overall Weight; 25,000 Kilograms (50,000 Pounds)
Quote:
"Don't worry, human, I'll get you out of here... even if it is making me begin to feel like a taxi service."

Profile:
Physical Description;
Painted with the endlessly-appealing colours of black and gold, Oblique is an incredibly thin and lithe cybertronian with her vehicle-mode wings forming a sort of hip-cape in robot mode. Her slender fingers end in alarmingly sharp points, while her vehicle-mode thrusters appear to have taken residence in her heels. This, along with her fully-sculpted facial features and general kindness has gotten her more than a few photoshoots with cybertronians of both sides... which she, of course, uses to spy on the Decepticons.
Personality;
An Autobot cut-and-dry, Oblique is an expert at scouting and sabotage of Decepticon fortifications with a knack for espionage... not the best assassin, however, it would seem. Her loyalty to the Autobot forces stems from back when she was still a civillian living in Iacon; the forces that arrived to extract her and her fellow noncombatants inspired her to take up arms and help in the fight. It is this dedication that allows her to focus so easily on the act of fighting, and this admiration of her rescuers' compassion that has let her so easily come to love her new home on Earth as much as her old one on Cybertron. The more time she spends around humans the more she seems to adopt their customs, even having been recorded as jokingly flirting with males, both of cybertronian and human kind. If nothing else, her bubble-headed obliviousness to the horrors of war is at least endearing.
History;
Originally a denizen of Iacon in the pre-war cybertronian society, Oblique's original line of work was simple delivery... her record of crashing likely having something to blame for her strange personality. This came to an end, however, when the Decepticons massacred the population of her district. Her life was only saved thanks to the Autobots finally arriving on scene to fight back the violet tide. This experience, however, only served to further crack the shell on the nut. She joined the Autobot forces immediately thereafter as a form of repayment to her rescuers, putting her cargo bays to good use carrying bombs and using her speed to get in and out of enemy territory rapidly... often forgetting to deliver the payload to the target. During the battle between the Ark and the Nemesis, Oblique once again was delivered a blow to the head; getting incapacitated by a dislodged chunk of the exterior armour of the Ark whilst participating in the space battle. She crash landed independant of the Ark and has been in Stasis Lock in Poland until recently.
Weaknesses;
Unable to grasp the true horrors of battle, Oblique often runs afoul of less understanding members of her side; unintentionally making light of deaths and sacrifices in attempts to lighten moods. Her acquisition of human customs is also more and more making her an alien to her own people; consideration of leaving the war outright to live with the humans being a serious line of thought for her. Because of this value on humanity, she as well runs into problems with unintentionally revealing her existence to the public and putting her squad in danger to prevent loss of human life. Understandably, she tends to be deployed as a lone operator because of this, and many would seriously consider leaving her to die if she were to be injured.
