ROAD
PIG
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
SUB-GROUP: LASER CYCLE
FUNCTION: AUTOBOT HARASSMENT
FIRST APPEARANCE: RIGHT HERE
"Light my fuse and I'll race like a
rocket!"
Profile: Road Pig is a street thug
at heart, constantly picking fights with anyone who gets too close. He's
developed a reputation for instigating trouble no matter what situation he's
in. One of his more infamous episodes involves openly challenging a direct
order from Megatron, backing down only after he nearly had his internal wiring
pulled out through his visual receptors. Road Pig learns lessons the hard
way, and tends to take out his frustrations on anyone nearby. Because of
this, he has no known friends within the Decepticon ranks. It's possible
Road Pig doesn't even realize this, however. He suffers from a case of slow
processing circuitry, and his minimal intelligence doesn't afford him much
insight. Even his Autobot enemies recognize him as little more than a rebel
without a clue.
Abilities: Road Pig prowls the streets
at 260 mph. His night vision makes him especially effective after dark as
he searches for victims to intimidate, harass, and eventually destroy. In
robot mode, his tail pipe converts to an arm-mounted, electrified light saber
which is connected directly to his engine. The weapon is surrounded with
an electrified energy field, enabling it to slash through most types of metal.
Weaknesses: Road Pig is a tactical
liability. He is easily detected by Autobot sensors due to his internally
illuminated engine, which overheats whenever he's angrywhich is virtually
all the time. He's an impressive bully when faced with one or two small Autobots,
but lacks guts when it comes to large groups of enemies. |
