MOTORMOUTH
ALLEGIANCE: AUTOBOT
SUB-GROUP: GO-BOT
FUNCTION: BACKUP SUPPORT
FIRST APPEARANCE: RIGHT HERE
"Let's tear up the streets...and the
Decepticons!"
Profile: Motormouth is the ultimate
braggart, perpetually boasting about his impeccable appearance. The shine
on his chrome, the polish on his tires, the sparkle of his windshieldthese
are sources of immense pride for him, and he makes sure that everyone within
earshot knows it. He's also quite proud of the immense size of his engine,
which goes hand in hand with his equally enormous ego. True enough to his
name, Motormouth never stops talking. If he's not ranting about his appearance,
he's complaining bitterly about being used as a transport vehicle, which
occurs far more frequently than he's comfortable with. He hates storing or
carrying anything in his truck bed because he's terrified that it might scratch
his paint job. Perhaps if his brain circuitry weren't so minimal, he'd realize
that half the time, the Autobots send him on missions just so they won't
have to listen to him.
Abilities: In truck mode, Motormouth
can reach a top speed of 380 mph, and is specifically designed to handle
rugged terrain. He is strong as an ox, able to haul up to five tons, but
doing so considerably reduces his maximum velocity (and he does so only with
extreme reluctance). In robot mode, he carries a compressed-air rifle that
fires bursts of super-heated gas. It can produce pressures as high as 500
pounds per square inch; concentrated bursts can melt holes through
metal.
Weaknesses: All of Motormouth's
problems stem from his lack of common sense. Although he's fast enough to
easily evade enemy Decepticons, he is easy to catch off guard. He rarely
goes for more than a few minutes without stopping to check his reflection
in store windows. |
