Origin:

Warpath is one of the Transformers, shape-changing electromechanical life forms hailing from the planet Cybertron. This strange world, a variable and unknown distance from our own, is the harsh crucible that birthed him, and is responsible for his amazing abilities.

Powers:

Cybertronian Physique: unlike most beings skittering across the face of the world, Warpath is inorganic in nature. A silicon-based entity, Warpath is seemingly robotic in nature, and his various life functions combine to provide him these super-human capabilities:

* Body Armor (s): equipped with thick vanadium steel armor from head to tread, Warpath is virtually indestructible. Benefiting from intensity 12, or +3, body armor, it takes a whole lot to remove him from the board, and he can ignore almost all human assaults.

* Growth and Shrinking (a): size is something of a quandary where Transformers are concerned, seemingly changing on the fly as is needed. These abilities assist in showcasing this tendency, and in his basic, humanoid state, Warpath stands at just over twelve foot tall.

He thus possesses semi-permanent growth at intensity 2. This gives him a +2 size factor, which inflicts a -2 penalty when trying to hit human-sized targets, but bolsters any damage he inflicts against them by +2. Humans assaulting him reverse these combat modifiers.

When he transforms into his General Motors M551A1 Sheridan ARAAV tank mode, Warpath typically retains the same volume. However, when attempting to disguise himself as a 'real' Sheridan tank, or being boarded by human passengers, he swells in size to match the 'real' model.

This is an example of the more dynamic volume that Transformers typically possess. This unique trait allows them to interact with their fellows no matter their relative sizes, which assists them when riding within their fellows - or wielding them, as the case may be.

* Microscopic / Telescopic Vision (w): like all Transformers, Warpath can adjust his visual sensitivity to account for extreme scales of distance. He has these abilities at intensity 2, letting him either spy objects miles away, or read microscopic print or etching, with ease.

* Radio Transceiver (i): helping him communicate with his fellows easily, Warpath has an inherent radio transceiver. This technology lets him send and receive radio signals with intensity 7 ability, maintaining contact within one hundred miles of his location.

* Resistance / Invulnerability to Disease and Poison (s): Warpath is inorganic in nature, being a silicon-based entity. Immunizing him from carbon-based disease and poison, this trait only gives him intensity 30, or +7, resliiance against other varieties of these threats.

Cannon (a): his most conspicuous feature in both modes, Warpath is equipped with a large, turret-mounted cannon! Capable of firing in both of his configurations, Warpath's standard shells can inflict intensity 10 slashing (fragmentary) damage on impact.

Some of his more specialized payloads include acid shells (SD Metabolic damage), cryogenic shells (Energy damage), sonic shells ('stunning' Force damage), and thermal shells (SD Energy damage), all of which operate at the same intensity as his conventional shells.

Shape Change (a): the ability Transformers are most notable for (it's their name!), Warpath can transform between his humanoid and his General Motors M551A1 Sheridan ARAAV tank modes pretty much at will. When existing as a tank, Warpath can only move at intensity 1 ground speed.

Hindrances / Augmentations:

(none)

Equipment:

(none)

Skills:

Marksman: capable of complex calculations on the fly when aiming his cannon and other line of sight weaponry, Warpath is an expert marksman. He should receive a reduced difficulty whenever wielding such weapons, whether built-in to his person or existing as external equipment.

Contacts:

Warpath is an Autobot! He is on good terms with his mechanoid fellows, and Warpath can reliably receive aid and assistance from them should he but ask. But then again, he makes a habit of blowing their problems away in the loudest fashion possible, so it works both ways.

Calling:

Demolisher: while heroic at heart, Warpath relishes the destructive might inherent to both of his configurations. He loves to demonstrate just how accurately, and just how powerfully, he can disassemble anything he sets his sights on - and does so whenever possible.

Likeness:

In either of his modes, Warpath looks like a powerful machine built from dark red metal. As a General Motors M551A1 Sheridan ARAAV tank, this only varies where his gray treads are concerned, but when he transforms, Warpath also features a gray face plate and turret base.

Personality:

A perfect example of synchronicity, Warpath is loud. His tank cannon is ear piercing in volume, and Warpath constantly yells to reflect this trait. Not only is his volume knob broken, but Warpath always talks excitedly, sometimes emitting random 'explodey' sounds, to boot.

Seemingly larger than life, Warpath is boisterous to a fault, which often acts to lift the spirits of his fellow Autobots. They've been at total war for millions of years, after all, and sometimes any diversion from the monotony is enough to break the tension they're feeling.

At the same time, nobody talks up Warpath's abilities as much as Warpath. Like many of his allies, Warpath is seemingly convinced of his superior skills, but feels the need to remind the Autobots of this frequently, lest they think less of him. But he needn't bother.

One other distressing trait of his is that Warpath is constantly pampering his turret, the seeming lynchpin of his personality. He buffs it ceaselessly, and should it become even slightly scuffed, he'll spend entire days removing any hint of this egregious injury.
