Player Alias: Thundercat
Character Name: Deathsaurus (IDW with some Aligned Predacon influences)
Allegiance: Decepticon
Appearance Description:
Deathsaurus is certainly an imposing Decepticon. A bulky, robust looking Predacon, he stands at equal height to the likes of Megatron and Tarn, if not somewhat taller. Physically imposing, Deathsaurus has a beast-like but regal appearance befitting a king of beasts. His armor color reflects this with deep blue and silver colors accented by splashes of gold and smokey gray and red bio-lights. His four optics are a burning ruby red.
As an alternate mode, Deathsaurus transforms into a dragon-like creature, a result of his Predacon nature. His dragon mode is equal in size to the likes of Predaking, being much larger than his robot mode but still equally bulky and imposing with a far more spiked appearance, especially around the head that has spikes fanning out around the head giving that more "king" like look. His bladed wings in this form can also be likewise used in robot mode and detachable as weapons.
Personality: For a Decepticon, Deathsaurus is a bit of conundrum. First, he is like a vast majority of Decepticons. He is intimidating, ruthless, and cruel to such a degree he has been said to equal the likes of Megatron. In short, Deathsaurus isn't afraid to show the power he has in both his form and tone of voice, using his position and bulk to make others quiver and listen. And he isn't afraid to show his temper and procure his wrath on those that press his buttons or irritate him to no end, especially those who prove cowardly and/or try to undermine him, in which case he is more than swift to make an example of. Although, this is made worse as of late with his Predacon form's natural instincts being prone to more primal, feral outbursts when angered.
Yet, Deathsaurus seems to have traits that might surprise event he likes of his arch rival and nemesis Star Saber. Despite his intimidating and cruel attitude, Deathsaurus is also understanding and far more compassionate for those under his command or grows close to, which is not many. But, when he is close to someone, he is extremely protective and can get ferocious, almost to the same point of when he's putting someone in their place. He is also known to be exceptionally charismatic and somewhat thoughtful, usually trying to consider alternatives but is also often dismissive with others. And the most unusual trait of all is that Deathsaurus is chivalrous, being unable to do harm to a female and/or child of any species, with some exceptions when it comes to females.
Overall, Deathsaurus is an intelligent mech with two sides. A cold, usually calm calculating general who will lay down the law and show his harsh side to being somewhat understanding and showing a greater concern for those under his command or close to him. He is, however, also known to be quite choosy with who he trusts and when he does trust someone he remains absolutely loyal unless something shatters it. And of course, Deathsaurus has been, over the years, known to clash with other big names in the Decepticons for his ideologies and beliefs, being rather argumentative and combative when he needs to.
Strengths:
Strength/Durability: With Deathsaurus' bulk and stature, he is incredibly strong and his armor is capable of taking exceptional amounts of damage from such things as heavy artillery or handling several opponents at once if necessary.
Flight: Deathsaurus has two bladed wings upon his back that he can use in robot and dragon mode, being able to extend almost the same length of his body. With their aid he is capable of flying up to great heights and moving at decent speeds in the air, although he proves much faster at diving speeds. Nevertheless, he is still decently maneuverable and agile in the air to be a formidable opponent to even vehicle based fliers.
Tactical Mind: Deathsaurus has had many years of experience on and off the battle field, so he's learned a thing or two of coordinating a small unit to a whole battalion, normally formulating plans and strategies before the actual battle or adjusting it accordingly depending upon the situation. If anything, Deathsaurus has proven capable of making split second decisions and organizing raids and attack plans.
Guarded Loyalty: Being among the Decepticons, Deathsaurus is well aware loyalty and trust is a dime a dozen, and has learned to be rather mindful of those he trusts. He keeps most at arms-length and is very observant of their behavior, only giving small increments of this trust until someone he hardly knows proves their worth in his eyes.
Melee Combat: Though well versed in both hand-to-hand and long-range weaponry, Deathsaurus feels the most at home with close quarters and melee weaponry. Much of his arsenal involves the necessity of getting in close and personal, so he has adapted his fighting style to enable this or adapting weapons he can use around him as hand-held makeshift weapons in combat.
Weaknesses:
Large Size: Despite Deathsaurus' armor giving him great strength and durability, he has come to favor these over speed and agility. Thus, he is slowed down and can leave himself vulnerable to those who are far more smaller, faster, and more agile, leaving him open to being worn down.
Feral Nature: His Predacon nature makes Deathsaurus susceptible to outbursts of berserker rage or sudden anger that gives him a shorter fuse than he once had. It can sometimes get to the point he loses himself to an animalistic side he cannot always control, often unable to tell friend from foe and causing trouble for those around him. If planned right, this can be used against Deathsaurus to trigger him to be unable to think clearly and consider the consequences until after the fact.
Necessary Risks: Despite Deathsaurus being quite guarded except those he has personally chosen for his unit or for his inner circle, he understands there are some risks that are necessary. Thus, he is willing to throw his faith behind an alliance or putting himself under a capable bot at the risk of not foreseeing all the possible dangers that comes his way. In fact, he leaves the possibility of leaving himself at the mercy of possible enemies and being manipulated.
Flight: Despite his wings giving him some advantage in height, they are the weakest part of his body and can still be rendered useless if damaged enough. They also are limited by his bulk, making him less maneuverable than most other fliers on top of taking him only so high. And since they are detachable, this can leave him grounded when in use and lose that advantage.
Conflicted Philosophy: Deathsaurus is an unusual bot who has conflicting motives. He loves chaos and conquering as any Decepticon but has enough honor to not harm certain parts of their kind or other species. This has more than caused him to butt heads with others of his faction, causing him to have a fair bit of enemies and can limit him in some situations for his unwillingness to break that code.
Abilities:
Tracking: When Deathsaurus upgraded his body to a Predacon frame, he also gained their innate tracking capabilities. Thus, his sense of smell is well above the normal levels of a normal Cybertronian, being able to smell the scent of energon, a piece of armor, a weapon, or anything that has a sent and track it for miles. Although this scent can fade over time and requires a fresher scent later on to keep tracking his target.
Infrared Sight: Unique to the Predacon CNA he has integrated into his own, Deathsaurus is capable of seeing in the infrared spectrum or detect varying levels of temperature.
Weaponry:
Energon Bazooka: A hand-held weapon that can fire powerful, concentrated energy blasts capable of tearing through the hulls of ships or knocking a Cybertronian down a few pegs. The charge can be adjusted to tearing through a few layers of armor however, making it somewhat more manageable depending upon the opponent. Deathsaurus though has made his capable of collapsing and storing it away in his left leg.
Cybertronian Shield and Thermo Broadsword: Mounted on his back, Deathsaurus utilizes an almost elongated rectangular shield that he can mount on either forearm, used for additional defense and is made to take considerable amount of force and can cover much of his body. In a slot on the top, just hidden on the back of the shield, is a visible hilt where Deathsaurus stores his broad sword, which is double edged with serrated, sharp edges and slightly spiked hilt that is black in color. The sword though has a secondary feature of using thermal energy, making him capable of heating and melting through material, such as that of his enemy's armor plating.
Flail: Coiled at his right hip, Deathsaurus has a cybertronian metal flail. The ball end is spiked, connected by a fifteen foot chain to a simple handle.
Detachable Bladed wings (Robot/Beast Mode: In robot or dragon mode, Deathsaurus can surprise his enemies by detaching his wings, with the individual bladed "feathers" locking into place to be used as a second set of blades. Although, he much prefers his flail or broadsword due to these being a bit more of a hassle to work with.
Claws/Fangs (Beast mode): In his dragon mode, Deathsaurus naturally has extremely sharp claws and fangs, capable of tearing through metal plating. Combined with his strength and some momentum, these can prove to be rather deadly.
Fire Breath (Beast Mode): Like a majority of Predacons, Deathsaurus also came with the capability of releasing streams of flames from his mouth or concentrated fire blasts that can be sent several feet away and is capable of melting stone or cybertronian metal.
History: Deathsaurus is one of those Decepticons who was constructed cold during the middle of the war on Cybertron, originally taking a Vosian seeker frame. Although, compared to some of his cohorts, he was of considerable size and towered over many in height and bulk despite the aerial frame. Following his creation, Deathsaurus was given a crash course in combat, from melee to long-range weaponry, varying in levels of basic to some of the most destructive at the time. And it didn't take much for the then young mech to get the hang of things. He was a natural born warrior, finding himself quite at home surrounded by combat, violence, and war. In battle is where Deathsaurus thrived in fact.
Following the short boot camp, he was soon thrust into the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, Deathsaurus jumping right into the fray of his first real battle. After that first taste of real combat, Deathsaurus quickly went from being one of the lowest newbies to making a name for himself among the Decepticon forces, becoming known for his unusual attitude of relishing mayhem and chaos yet making close bonds with some and seeming more compassionate than most Decepticons. And it is through his many years in the war that Deathsaurus was shaped and molded into the Decepticon he would become later down the road.
His skill in combat and way he took initiative caught the attention of his superiors, earning him promotion after promotion, the then large Seeker quickly climbing the ranks. He eventually worked his way to becoming quite the decorated soldier in Megatron's army, being put in charge of his own small unit. But, to go along with his gradual change in positions, Deathsaurus approached Shockwave when he caught wind of his cloning project that involved the ancient species of Predacon, then long extinct. He inquired to potentially changing his CNA to incorporate characteristics of the ancient beasts, to truly make Deathsaurus a force to be reckoned with.
Undergoing the procedure where his CNA was spliced with one of the Predacons, Deathsaurus took on his current dragon form, making him look even more fierce yet giving a regal feel to his form. Shortly thereafter, he eventually earned the rank of General, but that was where things began to change with Deathsaurus and his connection to Megatron's main forces. Deathsaurus began to clash with Megatron and his inner circles on concerns for ideology, primarily how the troops were treated and some unnecessary killing of certain parts of a species, namely women who did not prove to be a threats and children. This was made no better by the fact that Deathsaurus did show some compassion, which was seen as a weakness to many of his fellow Decepticons causing the dragon-former to go rogue with those he had hand picked to his own unit, breaking off an on-off relationship he had with a flier by the name of Lyzack, a sister to his right hand bot Leozack.
Before Cybertron went dark, Deathsaurus and his unit hijacked a ship and went traveling the universe to conquer worlds on their own, eventually their exploits allowing them to procure a Warworld war vessel. It was during his many travels that Deathsaurus once more became close to another femme, this one with a dragon form very much like his own, by the name of Esmeral who also eventually became his Conjunx Endura. And it was after many years, Deathsaurus made a necessary decision to rejoin the main Decepticon fold due to dwindling resources and facing some opposition from their organic enemies. Albeit, he was under strict watch and had to report regularly on his progress and share what he had already progressed with in his conquering escapades. But, his traveling around and conquering planets was to eventually come to an end.
Recently, while trying to teleport down to an organic planet, a malfunction with their teleportation device caused an unexpected long distance warp. Instead of coming down on the planet he was suppose to be on, Deathsaurus has found himself in the most unlikely place: Earth.
