FLASHPOINT
ALLEGIANCE: AUTOBOT
SUB-GROUP: THROTTLEBOT
FUNCTION: THERMAL WARFARE
FIRST APPEARANCE: "THE REBIRTH" PART 3
"If you can't stand the heat, stay off
the battlefield."
Profile: Flashpoint is a tragic
hero. He is a capable warrior with powerful abilities, but he's terrified
to use them. His worst fear is the idea that he might accidentally
hurt a fellow Autobot, a human ally, or other innocent creature during his
attempts to combat the Decepticons. So concerned is he for the welfare
of the Earthlings that he experiences horrible guilt after causing property
damage, even if no one was hurt. More than once, he's accidentally
lit trees on fire or destroyed cars parked on the side of the road. Less
frequently, he's inadvertently destroyed entire homes. Flashpoint will
spend hours making whatever reparations he canbut even this does little
to assuage the horrible guilt he feels over it.
Abilities: In car mode, Flashpoint
sprays flammable substances from his tail pipe which can bond themselves
at a molecular level to nearly any surface. He then ignites the substance
using lasers fired from his headlight array. The results are immediate,
effective, and devastating. Flashpoint himself is highly resistant
to the effects of his own weapons. The alloy frame incorporated into
his design can tolerate temperatures up to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Weaknesses: Flashpoint
sometimes sets his own tires on fire after driving through his own fluids.
His biggest problems are psychological, however. The guilt he
experiences frequently incapacitates him, rendering him
useless.
