Verdant

Profile
"However powerful we may be, nature will still master us, if we do not first master it."

A strangely scientific Seeker, Verdant can most often be found in the laboratory, analyzing local plant life to see how it can be used to benefit the Decepticon cause. When not consumed and distracted by his research, he tries to spend time with his wingmates, but can't comprehend why they don't find botany fascinating like he does. In both robot and F-16 jet mode, Verdant wields standard seeker lasers and wields line of sight rocket launchers in jet mode. He also possesses what he calls his "rot ray," which can continue to cause damage to an opponent after he's shot them. In jet mode he can reach Mach 1.5. He is intelligent and is a skilled botanist, meaning he can figure out how to cultivate, alter, or otherwise figure out applications for plant life. Wary of making decisions for himself, he is perfectly happy to follow orders and let others take the lead, which leaves him at a disadvantage when working on his own in situations other than the laboratory.
