Name: Stallstrip
Allegiance: Autobot
Function: Air Support/Sniper
Altmode: MiG-21 "Fishbed"
Weapons:
Nucleon Charge Rifle; A high-powered sniper rifle capable of, at full charge, puncturing even the thickest of armour. Stallstrip's variant appears to have been modified to be more powerful against heavy armour, rather than thinner armour which it is more likely to pass through without dealing the full damage to.
Thermo-Bolter; Jokingly called the Kebab Cannon, the Electro-Bolter fires high-velocity skewers at close range and is noted for being more than capable of pinning Decepticons to walls. Due to the nature of the weapon's physical projectiles, it is capable of impaling without killing immediately by plugging the injury. A grisly fate.
Harvester Rocket; Capable of sticking to targets and rapidly depleting them of life-sustaining energon unless quickly removed via transformation or brute force, the Harvester Missile is a miniaturized version of the much larger Energon Harvester. This weapon can only be dumb-fired without target-seeking. The energy drained by this device is stored internally for later retrieval. Cannot be used in Robot Mode or Halftrans.
Special Ability:
Halftrans;
Stallstrip has attained the correct degree of mastery with his transformation to the point of being capable of halting transformation halfway through, entering a "third" mode of sorts that, while not as fast as his altmode, or as accurate as his robot mode, is capable of hovering in the air and using cybertronian weapons while doing it. This makes him an extremely dangerous sniper in locations without cover.
Dimensions:
Robot Mode; 10m(30ft) Tall
Vehicle Mode; 14.5m(43.5ft) Long by 7m(21ft) Wide by 4m(12ft) High
Overall Weight; 8,825kg(17,650lbs approx)

Profile:
Physical Description;
Tall, lithe, and a firm believer that Red is the new Black, Stallstrip made sure when he scanned his vehicle for disguise that it nicely complimented his features when in robot mode; the MiG's intake and wings shifting to resemble something not unlike a high-collared cape when in his root form. His fingers, long and thin, terminate in serrated talons, and his spindly legs are little more than a pair of articulated spikes. Most of his weight in robot-mode is kept upright via his jets, with his legs serving little purpose beyond directing his floating body. With regards to facial features, there's little to speak of; his optics merged into a single, visor-like strip and his mouth almost always concealed behind a mask. He'd probably look better in purple.
Personality;
Well-known for his violence, dislike of the present chain of command, and cold nature, Stallstrip is an example of a soldier on the wrong side by virtue of having been made into it. That, and it's easier to backstab autobots than decepticons... the former is overly trusting, the latter will stab you first, after all. Outside the battlefield, stallstrip can usually be found fiddling with his weaponry or draining the last drops of energon from the remains he might have dragged back to base with him. He's not friendly, not nice, not moral, and only an Autobot in name alone. Were it not for his skills, he'd likely face exile or a similar fate... and likely will if he survives to see the conclusion of the war.
History;
A remnant from a time when Autobots and Decepticons weren't butchering eachother over energon, Stallstrip may very well have been imprisoned if the markings he's scratched off his armour are any indication. He originally joined the Autobots for the sole purpose of using them to help in his desire to slay Megatron and claim Kaon for himself... however, even he realized when cybertron began to die that his original desires were lost. Blaming both Megatron and Optimus for taking his delusions of taking control of the planet, Stallstrip continued his reluctant aid of the Prime; perhaps seeing it as easier to kill him once they were finished dealing with Megatron. When the fateful space battle ended, Stallstrip was still outside and found himself landing, and winding up in a stasis lock until recently, in what is now known as The Zone of Alienation.
Weaknesses;
One might be forgiven for mistaking Stallstrip for a Decepticon, given how poorly his brutality, hatred, and cold, calculating nature blend with his fellow soldiers. Many would leave him to die out of spite for these traits... not exactly prime "conversation" material. As well, he seems to be in much the same opinion as several other such-minded individuals in that Optimus and indeed any Prime is weak and should prove their strength to lead. With this information, it may indeed by likely that he stages, or participates in an uprising. On the bright side, his violent nature has enough eyes on him to keep him from doing any actions to overt with regards to treason.
