Name: Intake
Allegiance: Decepticon
Function: Communications/Hacking
Altmode: Northrop F-89D Scorpion
Weapons:
Subsonic Repeater; A low-power, rapid-fire submachine gun, the Subsonic Repeater is more a suppression weapon than a tool of killing, and sees more use in Intake's hands to pin an enemy down while one of his other weapons reloads or his ability recharges.
A-4 Pulsar Cannon; A remotely-detonated explosive, the Pulsar Cannon lobs a highly-charged sphere from the barrel at a low velocity which, strangely, seems unaffected by gravity. Intake's version of this weapon appears to be able to stick to living targets, while bouncing off of the environment.
V32 CYBR Corrupt@r; An extremly nefarious device that temporarily hijacks control of a victim's body via a virus-loaded dart. Intake's appears to use his own mental imputs to control the target, rendering his body immobile while he controls to host body. Strong enough wills (Endurance value 6+) can resist, or even prove immune to this device.
Special Ability:
GENIE Rockets; Usable only in vehicle mode, these extremely powerful projectiles regenerate up to two total with the wait time of two hours between each spawning. GENIE Rockets are dumb-fired thermonuclear weapons with a blast radius of twenty meters, and a fallout radius of fifty meter. One can blame the vehicle he scanned and reverse-engineered the missiles from for this disturbing weapon.
Dimensions:
Vehicle Mode: 16.4 Meters (49.2 Feet) Long by 18.2 Meters (54.6 Feet) Wide by 5.33 Meters (15.99 Feet) Tall
Robot Mode: 10 Meters (30 Feet) Tall
Overall Weight: 16,869 Kilograms (33,738 Pounds)
Quote:
"Oh man, Soundwave is going to love this. Big ol' stash of blackmail material."

Profile:
Physical Description;
Rather broad and beefy for a normally non-combat decepticon, Intake is often described by Autobots who encounter him as a perfect example of a Decepticon... one who in very appearance is deceptive. His red and yellow-painted chasis is arranged in such a manner as to create false impressions as to his size and musclature, most of the space beneath the thin metal being just air. His face is comprised solely of a black visor overlaying a mass of LEDs that he uses to display vauge facial expressions. This, combined with the monotone in which he speaks, means he can be quite menacing.
Personality;
Uncharacteristically nice and unintimidating for his faction and loadout, this seems to be mostly a facade manufactured to get in close to his fellow soldiers... and unwitting foes... so he can more expediently dispatch them if they get in his way; either via blackmail or more lethal means. Although, given his lack of ill will towards the life of Earth... perhaps there is some gem of good in his heart. Offduty, he is generally seen lazing about the base, leaving empty oilcans and energcon cubes around his favourite chair in a mound of trash... and mourning the difference in size between himself and humankind for the simple reason of the concept of Pizza being appealing to his sensors.
History;
Created on Cybertron during the war as an early attempt to get communications experts to every squad quickly and cheaply, Intake's cerebral circuitry was based on, and is currently programmed to obey orders from, Soundwave. Due to depleting resources, this project was quickly canned before any others of his model could be produced and his protoform intended to have been recycled. An attack on the facility it was stored in, however, forced the scientists to activate him for extra fire support; the resultant firefight ending with the Autobot defeat and a shot from a Corrosive Slime Cannon permanently damaging his back. He has never come into contact with the decepticon he was based mentally on, although ever since he awoke from his stasis lock in North America, he has been searching for Soundwave to recieve orders... gathering data along the way... and repairing what damage he recieved in the space battle that he could.
Weaknesses;
Due to damage suffered while still in a protoform state, Intake's robot mode back has extremely thin and soft armour, rendering him extremely vulnerable to a rear attack. In Vehicle mode this translates into his jets being vulnerable. Intake also is incapable of projecting any sort of shield around his body, rendering any damage recieved immediately grievous. In addition to these two flaws is a third, also caused by the same early damage to his systems; transformation glitching. When he recieves significant damage, his body automatically will drop out of vehicle mode and into robot mode. This also forces minor stasis onto his limbs, making it extremely hard to move. As such, an easy way to deal with him would be to shoot him out of the air by targeting his thrusters, and then proceeding to waylay him while he's stunned on the ground.
