HIGH
BEAM
ALLEGIANCE: AUTOBOT
SUB-GROUP: GO-BOT
FUNCTION: TRACKER
FIRST APPEARANCE: RIGHT HERE
"Let's get busy!"
Profile: High Beam is a no-nonsense
soldier who always means business. His entire purpose in life is to hunt
down and destroy Decepticons, and it is a purpose which he takes very seriously.
Endlessly patient, he has been known to stake out his prey in parking lots
or junkyards for weeks at a time. His propensity for clever plans and
psychological warfare has led the other Autobots to come to believe that
he's more brains than brawn. While it's true that High Beam would rather
think his way out of a situation than fight his way thought it, he has never
backed down from a challenge or a firefight, and his enemies have learned
that it's unwise to cross him. High Beam knows his duty, and is all too eager
to carry it out.
Abilities: In race car mode, High
Beam can reach a maximum speed of 450 mph. He is equipped with a vast array
of high-end tracking and scanning equipment. He can pinpoint the location
of specific targets as small as a digital watch battery, accurate to within
a hundredth of an inch, from up to 20 miles away. In robot mode, he carries
a spectral beam gun that produces a blinding, hypnotic strobe effect, rendering
his targets unconscious for up to half an hour. He can also emit these beams
through his headlights in vehicle mode.
Weaknesses: High Beam is dangerously
obsessive when it comes to locating his targets, often sacrificing his own
safety in the doing. He has a particular vendetta against the
Combaticons. |
