Name: Whirl
Where?: MTMTE
Group: Autobot Rogue
Other Characters: Airachnid , Optimus Prime , Steve , Tempura , Wheeljack
Appearance:
Whirl is a fairly tall mech, if he stands up straight. His legs are animal-like in the design, making him to often seem to be crouching down, which makes him all the more creepy. His arms are long, and his servos are actually long pincers, and despite them, he is fairly dexterous when it comes to working with his 'hands'. What just tops all of this off is the fact that he only has one optic, making up his face, like Shockwave in a sense. Even the antenna seem very similar, just much slimmer. The thickest part of his body is his chest are, all having to do with it being made up of much of the cockpit of his alt-mode.
His entire body, though durable, is fairly thin, probably much having to do with his alt-mode. His alt-mode is a stealth helicopter, modified, and he has used it to prove himself many a time to surprisingly be almost as fast as a seeker and can easily manuever in the sky much like he can on the ground.
His alt-mode is a Boeing AH-64 Apache.
Personality:
Whirl has a tendency to be.. Fragging crazy. He tends to torment his fellow Autobots, no matter whether or not they get hurt. However, he never pushes his luck when it comes to physical abuse, but mental.. He loves to pick out weaknesses and mock another for having them, and if he can't he'll just poke fun and pester until it makes you want to pull your processor out. There are many a time other bots have tried to kill or sedate him, but all seems to prove ineffective.. As for Decepticons, he kills without remorse, not even if you beg for mercy or not, you're just dead in his book. Those blind rampages are what gets him in trouble, as he tends to 'accidentally' get too caught up and kill innocents.. However, he always seems to have a fairly logical excuse, and is especially good at weaseling his way out of trouble. He laughs when he's on a rampage, whether good or bad and its best to just run away as fast as you can if you aren't the target of his madness.
Despite the crazed exterior, there is a part of Whirl that is serious, but is very broken and can be much darker than the norm. He was hurt by what is now considered 'The Autobots' in the past, so much so that it is much of the reason he was driven mad. This part of him makes him hate both Autobots and Decepticons, just Autobots a little less for some reason. He only joined the Wreckers to take his pain out on everyone else and to fulfill his lust for bloodshed, whenever that will be.
Then, beyond all the darkness that makes up about 99.9% of his mind, is that 0.1% that is kind and good. Whenever it is in play, it normally freaks mechs and femmes out to see him be sincerely kind and caring. He does have the ability to love, to care, and to show kindness.. It just gets lost within all the rest of his fragged up mind.
Weaknesses:
His insanity - It makes him forget injuries and pain only to focus on fulfilling his own wrath and goals. It makes it hard for him to distinguish between friend and foe. He'll get what he wants, no matter what it takes. He also has a tendency to physically harm himself to either a.punish himself or b.calm himself.
Seeker-like body - It might not seem like it, but he's got all the sensitivity and similar easily breakable parts like a seeker does. He's not built like one, but he might as well be one.
Respect/Curse words - He has little respect for anyone, unless they prove themselves to him.. However they do that I have no clue. As for curse words.. They're like a second language to him. A lot of bots believe in Primus, and he takes his name in vain very often.. And curses his own name name. And curses other people.
Traitorous - In his history, he has tried to kill mechs and femmes who he believed(or decided to believe) that were traitorous or could be a liability. So, in his infinite wisdom, he either tries to send them offline or gravely injure them.. And he tends to be right about it all. Most of the time...
Weapons:
Semi-Automatic - He has four semi-automatic guns, two in his chest cavity from where he transforms from his alt-mode, and two hand-held ones, all four of which he uses expertly.
Missiles - With his alt-mode comes several heat-tracking missiles, all of which he can use at his disposal, but he must make or acquire more after he uses them up. AKA - He steals some from a local army base in the middle of the night.
Insanity - He is never a predictable fighter, both in the air and on the ground, which makes it hard for his enemies(or allies) to determine exactly what he might do next.
Flight - Despite being a helicopter, his speed and grace in the air rivals that of a seeker, and can put some to shame with his maneuverability. He's had years to perfect his maneuvers, whatever they may be, and put them to good use.
History:
In the pre-war era, under the reign of Nominus Prime, Whirl of Polyhex Primus, was a member of the Aerial Corps. Dissatisfied with his lot, Whirl managed to accomplish what was thought impossible, defying the function he was created with and actually changing professions to become a watchmaker. And Whirl was good at what he did—so good that the Functionist Council, angry that a moderate functionary had given him permission to switch jobs, decided to teach him a lesson. They had the local criminal elements demand a cut of his profits so that when he refused, the Heavies would be sent to destroy his business and leave the Council's hands 'clean'. Whirl was left destitute and roamed the Dead End, where he hung out with a bad crowd and started getting into fights. His combat prowess caught the attention of the Senate's agents, who press-ganged a reluctant Whirl into their service. Whirl was made to do despicable things in the Senate's employ. When he tried to resist, he was put through the barbaric empurata ritual, costing him his original hands and effectively neutering his watchmaking skills. The Senate had, in fact, been arranged to hire him for all this by the vindictive Functionist Council.
Whirl was eventually granted a position in the Rodion police force. When a rabble-rousing miner named Megatron was brought in for brawling with other law enforcement officers, the Senate ordered Whirl to kill him, presumably to silence his increasingly loud voice of dissension. Chaos Theory #1 Interiors Failing to finish the job, Whirl was arrested by his captain Orion Pax, so the Senate sent more men to free him, fearing his actions would be exposed. Their men attacked the Rodion police station and freed Whirl, but Orion Pax wouldn't stand for it and defeated them, shooting Whirl's leg off in the process. Whirl warned his captain that the Senate would not be happy if any further harm came to him, but Orion merely picked him up, went to the Grand Imperium in person and confronted the entire Senate with his actions.
Due to Orion Pax's public display of Whirl's crime, the Senate had no choice but to send him to Garrus-1. After Whirl's mistreatment of Megatron in Rodion was exposed, he found himself suffering constant attacks and beatings in prison by Decepticon sympathizers. Whirl saved his one communicube call for an appropriate occasion, and found it when his former handler Kroma briefly became his cellmate. Whirl was told of an impending Senate plot involving assassination and a city-destroying bomb. He consequently used his one call to bring Orion Pax to Garrus-1, where he informed his former captain of all he had heard. While Orion initially assumed Whirl was acting out of compassion, Whirl immediately corrected him, explaining that he just wanted revenge against the Senate for mutilating, using, and abandoning him. After Orion left, Whirl was introduced to his new cellmate—Impactor, who promptly beat him into critical condition.
Whirl eventually wound up in the Kaon Security Service, where he witnessed the full extent of what his actions had wrought, as Megatron, now convinced that violence was the only way forward, assaulted the city and slew Sentinel Prime, beginning the Great War. Megatron—now Optimus Prime—personally invited Whirl to join the Autobots before the Decepticons reached him: "forgiveness as a weapon of war", as Whirl put it. After "bouncing around a bit", he changed his name to "Jetstream" and became a flight instructor at the Iaconian Aerial Academy.
One of his most promising cadets at the academy was Rotorstorm, but he insisted on berating him in private, his verbal abuse eventually evolving into regular unprovoked beatings. After one particularly savage beating, "Jetstream" shoved Rotorstorm into the academy's newly installed CR chamber, and by the time Rotorstorm recovered, his instructor had moved to a training facility in another province. Whirl later returned to using his original name, and attended the ceremony when Rotorstorm received the Novic Medal for Outstanding Valor, applauding and cheering from the front row.
Whirl eventually joined the Autobot special operations taskforce, the Wreckers. He was with the team when they triumphed in final battle over their longtime rivals Squadron X on the planet Pova, only to discover they had no jurisdiction on the planet and would be required to let the Squadron go. Refusing to accept this, Wrecker leader Impactor murdered the entire squadron while Whirl looked away in apparent shame, but took no action. The incident was covered up by Autobot High Command, and to avoid being implicated in the crime alongside their leader, Whirl and the other Wreckers lied and told Springer that they had no idea what Impactor was planning on doing. Springer believed them and defended their inaction at Impactor's trial, also agreeing to become the new leader of the Wreckers at Whirl and the others' request.
At some point during the war, Whirl established a rivalry with the wand-wielding Decepticon known as Killmaster. The rivalry ended when Whirl broke into a medical center where Killmaster was recharging, crushed the Decepticon's brain as he slept, and shoved his wand up his—AHEM!
Years later, Whirl was deployed with the other Wreckers to Varas Centralus to help Bluestreak's counter-insurgency team deal with the Decepticon infiltration team there, which had just activated Siege Mode. Partway into the battle, they were forced to pull out and return to Cybertron when news came through of the possible resurgence of Thunderwing. Arriving at their homeworld, the team saved the Technobots Nosecone and Afterburner from a patrol of Centurion droids, then joined Optimus Prime in attacking Bludgeon's secret base. Whirl and Roadbuster helped Jetfire from his imprisonment, but they were too late: Bludgeon had indeed recalled Thunderwing home. Whirl joined Springer and Sandstorm in attacking the mindless Pretender, but their weapons were disabled when he ionized the air around them, forcing them to back off. Fortunately, a team of Decepticons led by Divebomb arrived to supplement the Autobot forces and the day was soon won.
The Wreckers got a rematch with Thunderwing some time later when the denizens of the Dead Universe took control of him and stationed him on Corata-Vaz to guard one of the Nega-Cores required for their Expansion. Whirl fought hard alongside his teammates Doubledealer and eventually the Wreckers were able to disable the Nega-Core when Jhiaxus lost control of Thunderwing.
During the Surge, when the Decepticons launched a devastating simultaneous attack against the Autobots across the galaxy—Whirl and several other Wreckers were captured by Decepticons under the command of Turmoil. Kup led an extraction team to rescue the Autobots from a Decepticon cruiser, and they were ultimately saved thanks to the efforts the former Decepticon Drift.
Around three years later, when putting together a squad to liberate Garrus-9 from the clutches of the deranged Decepticon Overlord, Springer ruled Whirl out of the mission on account of his recently becoming something of a liability. The mission to Garrus-9 left Springer in a comatose state, and Whirl and Roadbuster were assigned the task of watching over him and tending to his needs until he awoke. Convinced that this was never going to happen, Whirl attempted to euthanize his leader with Roadbuster's Sparkeater weapon, but was caught in the act by Roadbuster and ejected from the Wreckers by the power of "the veto"—the ability of a Wrecker to have another member of the unit removed at any time. He wound up in prison for his actions, but was released and given a "final warning" by Ultra Magnus to stay out of trouble.
After the war was ended and Cybertron was returned to a primordial state, Whirl and Sideswipe were tasked with policing a mob of neutral Transformers that had recently returned to Cybertron. They came upon Optimus Prime being harassed by one of the mob, and promptly began bullying the smaller neutral. Optimus Prime had to pointedly lower Whirl's gun and asked to be filled in on current events. Later, the mob revolted and dragged Whirl to the ground during the ensuing riot.
Frustrated with the NAILs and having been kicked out of the Wreckers, Whirl acquired a disturbing method of stress relief: gathering up several leftover Sweep carcasses, pinning them to a wall inside a shabby structure out in Cybertron's wastelands, and apparently mutilating them. Eventually deciding that he'd had his fun, Whirl doused the ruins with fuel and bid a very creepy thank you and farewell to the remains, planning to burn it all—quite possibly, himself included. Interrupted by Cyclonus, who had misidentified the Sweeps' energy readings as those of Scourge, Whirl immediately attacked him and set the place ablaze to cover his tracks. Their battle carried them to the Mitteous Plateau, where they were discovered by Ratchet, Chromedome, and Rewind, prompting Whirl to try and pin all the blame on Cyclonus before killing him so he couldn't contradict his story. Before he could, however, a huge subterranean explosion triggered by Tailgate erupted beneath Whirl, heavily damaging him and knocking him offline.
