NIGHTRACER
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: GUNNER
FIRST APPEARANCE: BOTCON '95 MAGAZINE
"A good shot is better than a big
mouth."
Profile: Nightracer is sleek, efficient,
and deadly accurate. As one of the best sharpshooters among the Transformers,
she is cool and imperturbable even in the worst combat situations. Other
Decepticons admire her skill, but are put off by her aloof manner. Her confidence
in her own abilities is often mistaken for arrogance; the way Nightracer
sees it, there's no reason to promote or downplay what she perceives as a
simple fact. She tends to keep to herself, discouraging most attempts at
conversation with cutting remarks. The only Decepticon she considers a friend
is Swindle.
Abilities: In race car mode, Nightracer
can reach 330 mph. Her tires are designed to grip smooth surfaces, making
her especially adept at hairpin turns. She can fire laser beams from her
headlights in this mode. As a robot, Nightracer carries a semi-automatic
laser rifle that fires rapid, disruptive bursts. Her sharpshooting skills
are legendaryshe can hit a speeding target the size of a golf ball
from 10 miles away, from a stationary or moving position, with pinpoint accuracy.
Her optic sensors are equipped with a telescopic function and computer-guided
visual tracking systems to help her lock onto her targets.
Weaknesses: Nightracer is
susceptible to flipping over when traversing rough terrain in vehicle mode.
She sometimes suffers from dizzy spells when alternating between normal and
telescopic vision. |
