Zipline

Profile
"Don't worry about catching me, worry about *me* catching *you*."

Zipline is a casette-bot with the need for speed and doesn't care who she leaves in her dust. She's just as quick to come up witha quip or to make up her mind. An enthusiastic but highly superstitious tomboy, she's not afraid to get rough and is just as able and willing to deliver messages as she is to intercept enemy supplies and forces before they reach the battle. Cheetah form features light-weight explosive resistant armor designed for maximum agility and speed, razor sharp claws, and an experimental miniaturized railcannon on her back. Her hyper-kinetic generator produces extra power to her movement systems as she runs, allowing her to reach speeds of up to 150mph. Can channel electromagnetic energy from her railcannon into her claws to destabilize opponent systems. Tends to be impatient in making decisions, often resulting in her getting in over her head easily.

History
There was once an autobot rookie who was assigned as a messenger and high speed interceptor in Ibex. Like most from Ibex, she was fast, and took to the races in her free time. But she was also clever and resourceful; she was very talented at quickly gauging the lay of the track, the other racers, and in getting more out of a little energon for longer. Because of this, she rose through the lower ranks of the races quickly.

But in doing so she also made some very influential enemies with ties to the decepticons. One enemy in particular sabotaged the final race to the next ranking, resulting in a crash that wrecked the rookie Her chassis was trashed to the point that it was irreparable, but medics were able to at least salvage her laser core.

For the last several hundred years that laser core has been among the sparks that the Autobots have held in stasis. That is at least until recently when a new tape-bot body was made that needed a spark with the need for speed.

Except that someone, somewhere, had wiped the rookie’s memories. After her laser core was recovered but before it ended up safely in Autobot hands, the racer who rigged the race had it fixed to have her memories wiped clean in case she ever was to be given a new body. He didn’t want anyone to know what had really happened in case he lost

And as such, Zipline was recently 'born' with the personality of that rookie, but no memories of being anything other than a tape-bot. But if those memories were some day to be recovered, one of the current top racers in Ibex might be in for a very big surprise.
