Spindrift

Profile
"Every dust cloud has a silver lining."

Spindrift often leaves a trail of dust and smoke in his wake due to spending much of his time digging, demolishing or cleaning up the mess afterwards. Regards a good coating of grime as a job well done and bears it with pride. A hardworking and dedicated Autobot that will wade through the foulest filth and dig into the hardest terrain to get his job done and done right the first time, regardless if it is an important battle or just clearing out a worksite. Though he does regularly crack wise about how messy and hazardous his job can be. Armadillo form features dense shock-resistant armor plating and a energy blast-shield projector for protecting himself and others in dangerous work conditions, sharp digging claws and sapper charge launchers. Spindrift can curl into an armor-ball and propel himself with an internal super-gyroscope with enough kinetic force to smash through walls and knock down transformers twice his size. Said gyroscope can be disrupted by magnetic fields, throwing it and Spindrift's systems out of sync.

History
Spindrift was originally a minibot, but when he joined the Autobots as a demolition specialist he volunteered to be rebuilt into a smaller form that would be easier to crawl into tight spaces to do his job, given a 'feral' semi-animalistic form with big claws and armor shielding that could wrap around him, and the super-gyroscope that allowed him to produce additional vibrational kinetic force to make up for his small size. It wasn't until coming to Earth eons later that Spindrift got his current format as an armadillo, which maintained much of the same capability as his previous form and actually enhanced the armor enclosing by imitating the curling shell of a real armadillo. One of those Autobots that's always been around but is easily overlooked, because many of his tasks are out of the way, out of sight, and seemingly menial labor jobs between demolition missions that a lot of people forget are there.
