| Profile: Vain, flighty, egomaniacal...all these words and more have been used to describe Skyblade, and, franky, she doesn't care. Whether in battle with Decepticons or back at Autobase with her supposed peers, Skyblade exudes an air of elite indifference and superiority borne of her pride at being one of the first truly flightworthy Autobots built. She will gladly relate this fact to any who will listen...which is a rapidly diminishing number. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she is VERY good at her job of providing air coverage for her oft-times groundbound comrades, she would have probably been excommunicated from the Autobots entirely. As it is, the only Autobot, Ironcar and Sage Alpha included, who can stand her presence for very long is Hellrazor...and he scares the wits out of her. In fact, her open hostility towards his obvious fixation on her is due mainly to fear, not just of his attention and his deadly intensity, but of the fact that, with him around, the Autobots may no longer have any need for her. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abilities: In helicopter mode, Skyblade uses a wide array of air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, making her one of the most versatile fighters in the Autobots. In addition, she has a nose-mounted grenade launcher and two undercarriage-mounted gatling-style machine guns. Each of these she can use with pinpoint accuracy. She possesses VTOL and hover capabilities, as well as a top airspeed of 450 MPH. In robot mode, she uses her gatling guns, which are located on her forearms, as well as an electrosabre capable of superheating whatever it strikes to roughly 800 degrees Farenheit in 0.52 seconds, which usually enables her to cleave through it cleanly. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Weaknesses: Skyblade's arrogance and elitist attitude has so alienated her to many of her comrades that, oft times, they are reluctant to come to her aid until they feel she has been "taught a lesson." Her dependence on projectile weapons (a design oversight) can cause problems in prolonged battle due to her need to reload. In addition, her rotor assembly is particularly vulnerable to artillery fire. |
