BLOW-OUT
ALLEGIANCE: AUTOBOT
FUNCTION: FIELD MECHANIC
"A quick fix always does the trick."
Blow-Out serves as the Autobots'
on-the-spot technician, able to quickly mend all but the most severe damages
incurred by his fellow Autobots during battle. His repairs are perfunctory
at best, intended to serve only as a temporary measure during missions on
the field until more thorough administrations can be made by a skilled medic.
Blow-Out is impatient by nature, overconfident about his abilities, and tends
to make slipshod, hasty repairs. Needless to say, the other Autobots tend
to avoid his care whenever possible. "I'll take my chances," notes
Ladybug.
Abilities: The tips of Blow-Out's
primary digital units can be replaced with a variety of tools, including
a blowtorch, laser welder, and electronic cutting beam. These tools lack
the fine precision of a surgeon's blade, but are adequate in most situations
requiring expedient work. In car mode, Blow-Out is equipped with short-range
turbo boosters mounted under his rear bumper which propel him short distances
through the air. He can jump cliffs that are up to a quarter of a mile apart
from each other.
Weaknesses: Blow-Out's carelessness
is his own worst enemy. Not only do most of the other Autobots
try to avoid him, but his sloppy work negatively affects the Autobots he
does repair. |
