Overdrive Strength Agility Intellect Willpower 6x 13d 11x 17x Hand Size: 4 (25) Edge: 2 Origin: Overdrive is a Transformer, one of the most infamous silicon-based life forms native to the planet Cybertron. His origins on that world have blessed Overdrive with a vast roster of inherent abilities that would seem, at least to ordinary humans, fantastic in nature! Powers: Cybertronian Physique: like most of his fellow Transformers, Overdrive came into being on the world of Cybertron! As does everyone else from this strange planet, Overdrive benefits from a number of special characteristics related to his electromechanical body, including: * Body Armor (s): made (or formed) from primarily metallic materials, Overdrive is considerably durable. His sturdy, inorganic composition affords Overdrive like, or +1, protection against conventional assaults of all kinds. * Growth / Shrinking (a): size is rarely a set feature amonst the Transformers, whether considering the species as a whole or even single Cybertronians. For example, Overdrive stands at fifteen feet tall in his humanoid configuration, giving him inherent, intensity 3 growth. His stature grants Overdrive a +3 size factor. This provides him a +3 damage bonus when assaulting human-sized foes, while suffering a -3 penalty to hit them in the first place. Conversely, human-sized foes assaulting him do so under the reverse of those modifiers. While this assumes a static volume, many Transformers have demonstated that their size can be highly variable. This reflexive, dynamic size manipulation is an emergent property of Transformers overall, though such mass displacement must surely consume vast amounts of power. These dynamic volume shifts are most often used when transforming, and enable Transformers to interact with beings of differing sizes without further modifications being required of them. This ultimately allows Transformers to wield or ride within their fellows seamlessly. * Microscopic / Telescopic Vision (w): supplementing their size manipulation, Transformers possess much sharper visual acuity. These intensity 2 powers allow Overdrive to perceive objects as far as a mile distant, and he can easily read material preserved on microfiche. * Radio Transceiver (i): often operating in the vastness of open space, Transformers cannot solely rely upon sound or line of sight to communicate. They thus make use of an intensity 7 signal transceiver, allowing radio contact within 100 miles of others. * Resistance / Invulnerability to Disease and Poison (s): an inorganic being, Overdrive is wholly immune to carbon-based diseases and poisons. While not completely invulnerable to more chemically creative threats of this sort, Overdrive resists them with intensity 30, or +7, ability. Flight (a): Overdrive can fly! His combat mode includes wings that extend out from his doors, allowing him to fly at intensity 7, or at up to 300 MPH. While he can use them to fly in his humanoid mode, Overdrive does so with -4 ability. Headlights (i): Overdrive's Ferrari mode is equipped with fully functional headlights, which allow him to project intensity 8 illumination into near missile distance. If necessary, he can utilize these lamps in any of his two and a half modes. Shape Change (a): Overdrive has two and a half distinct forms. He can transform between his Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer mode, his humanoid mode, and an offensive hybrid of the other two at will. When in a vehicular shape, Overdrive can move with intensity 6 speed (190 MPH). Hindrances / Augmentations: (none) Equipment: Neutron Blaster (a): if his other two weapons can't crack a target, Overdrive is happy to break out his neutron blaster. This radiation caster can launch a neutron burst at his foes, each of which inflicts intensity 7 2x SD energy damage, which can easily break down his foes. Plasma Beam Rifle (a): when he's got a tougher nut to crack, Overdrive breaks out his plasma beam rifle. Overdrive can use this weapon to blast potent, electrified plasma at his would-be enemies, inflicting intensity 8 Armor Piercing energy damage with each burst. Twin Electron Cannon (a): Overdrive's basic weapon is his twin electron cannon, a dual-barrel rifle that can cast electrons at his foes! He can fire this weapon to inflict intensity 9 energy damage per deadly burst, often Stunning his foes to great advantage. Skills: Advanced Guns (a): whenever he wields one of his many, many energy casters in battle, Overdrive is well-versed in their use. He may reduce the difficulty of energy weapon-based actions, assuming he's not just bludgeoning Decepticons with the things. Contacts: As one of the Autobots, Overdrive can readily rely upon his fellows for help should he but ask. While they trust him in a fight, however, the Autobots know how underhanded Overdrive can be in his dealings with others, and keep that in mind when interacting with him. Calling: Gloryhound: unlike a lot of the Autobots, Override's motives are... suspect. He's in it to win it, almost addicted to the sensation of victory over others. He constantly yearns to prove his supremacy, and reining him in when such opportunities present themselves can be hard. Likeness: In his vehicular configuration, Overdrive is indistinguishable from a cherry red Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer. In his combat mode, wings extend from his doors, and machine guns fold out from his grill. As a humanoid, Overdrive appears to be a robot built from a red Ferrari. Personality: Overdrive loves the taste of victory. Whether he's engaging in an impromptu road race or plotting an ambush on unsuspecting Decepticons, Overdrive will do what it takes to win. In his eyes, victory is all - no method is too underhanded to grace Overdrive's arsenal. His fellow Autobots known better than to wager anything with Overdrive, unless they don't mind losing it. This leaves the Decepticons as his only victims - save for humans, who have yet to grow wise to his shady dealings. Which is good, because he loves racing their hot rods. Real Name: Overdrive Occupation: flying trooper Legal Status: citizen of Cybertron with no known criminal record Marital Status: inapplicable Alias(es), if any: none Group Affiliation: Autobots Height: 15' Hair: inapplicable Eyes: blue Weight: several tons Other Distinguishing Characteristics: in vehicle mode, Overdrive perfectly resembles a cherry red Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer with tinted windows. As a humanoid, Overdrive looks like a robotic being built from the majority of a cherry red Ferrari.
