HOOLIGAN
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
SUB-GROUP: CYBERJET
FUNCTION: HIT AND RUN
FIRST APPEARANCE: RIGHT HERE
"I'll break your funny bone!"
Profile: Hooligan is a demented, mischevious
troublemaker. Where other Decepticons tend to focus on important goals like
conquering the Universe and defeating the Autobots, Hooligan's only interest
is the next opportunity to play a practical joke. The more one of his pranks
humiliates a target, the funnier he thinks it isand he'll stop at nothing
to get a good laugh. Autobots, humans, and even his fellow Decepticons are
all potential targets for his twisted brand of humor. Hooligan is perhaps
best known for his attempt to land and disrupt a shuttle launch from the
Kennedy Space Center on Earthbut rather than steal the valuable rocket
fuel from its tanks, he simply intended to vandalize it with the Decepticon
insignia. Although this stunt was thwarted by an Aerialbot flak attack that
chased him off, Hooligan still dreams of this and even more outrageous stunts.
He can still be found firing missiles in front of commercial airliners because
it makes him laugh every time.
Abilities: Hooligan is equipped with powerful
weaponry, but due to his cowardly nature, he tries to avoid direct confrontations
whenever possible. As a result, his attacks typically consist of swooping
into the scene long enough to fire a missile and then zipping away before
his foes can retaliate. As a jet fighter, he cruises at 700 mph; he can also
convert to a swept-back wing configuration, enabling him to reach Mach 2.5
for limited distances. He is equipped with a missile launcher that shoots
computerized heat-seeking rockets; this launcher becomes his right arm in
robot mode.
Weaknesses: Hooligan occaisonally goes
too far in his ongoing quest for the bigger and better prat fall. In a recent
incident, he was nearly dismanted after putting sugar in a dormant Megatron's
fuel tank. |
