Boomslang

Profile
"Deceive and conquer."

Boomslang never does anything the easy way. Devious and crafty, believes an enemy defeated through guile will be humbled and more easily controlled. He is a deceiver; the truth is not in him. Able to bend energy around himself, making him difficult to lock onto with missiles, shoot with energy weapons, or even see. Armed with a hypervelocity gun that magnetically accelerates a nickle-iron slug to one-fifth the speed of light; can punch a fist-sized hole through a bank vault from twenty miles away. F/A-18 mode is fast and well-armed. Not quite as smart as he thinks he is, his complex schemes often go awry.

History
Boomslang is one of the Decepticons who was "always there," after having rolled off of the lines of the creation factories eons ago and having done very little of note since then until relatively recently. While part of a raid on an alien experimental facility Boomslang got separated from the rest of his flight group and discovered a prototype device designed to shield solar probes by warping the solar energy around the probe. Instinctively recognizing its value, he secured it in his cockpit and resumed the mission without telling anyone what he had found. Later he sought the services of an underground cyberdoctor in Grand Central Space Station and had the device installed in himself. With the newfound ability to bend light and energy around himself, Boomslang's capabilities were increased beyond the ranks of a mere gumby and he quickly rose above his previous station and distinguished himself as a non-generic Seeker. With ill-gotten gains from several covert campaigns in South America and Africa undertaken on his own initiative throughout the 80s and 90s, he has had himself upgraded to the point where he can stand in the line of battle alongside any Seeker one cares to name.
