Smokestack

Profile
"See enough ruins, you stop believing in the future."

Smokestack is a calm, rarely ruffled Decepticon with little ambition for leadership, content to serve whoever has the strength to lead. He has a deep interest in antiquated and forgotten machines, which has led him through the ruins of many once occupied worlds, and given him a certainty that good intentions do not last. Speeches about teamwork particularly annoy him. Exceptionally large and a little unwieldy, Smokestack wields a brutal flamethrower in robot mode. He sacrifices further manoeuvrability in steam locomotive form to gain considerable speed, useful for ramming or escaping while laying down a smokescreen to cover his retreat.

Skills: Big Bad Train, Language:Ancient Cybertronain, and Knowledge:Ancient Technology

History
Constructed seven million years ago, give or take a few millennia, Smokestack developed an interest in archaic forms of technology early on, and acquired a penchant for taking altmodes that reflect that interest. He has ridden small ships on solitary explorations, looking for dead civilisations and failed colonies to pick through. Between expeditions, he spent time investigating the lower catacombs of Cybertron, where eventually he was attacked and buried under a cave in for several millenia. Fighting on Cybertron has recently unburied him, and he proceeded to travel to Earth in search of more interesting technology and the current Decepticon leader.
