Profile
"When all is said and done, there's only going to be one winner. And that's me."
Blueshift is a Decepticon who is extremely ambitious, determined to move up in the ranks, though his policy of attempting to grab the glory of others and claim it as his own is more as a hindrance than anything. Brother of Redshift, he has a love-hate relationship with him. They both bicker over which is the better of the two, but can agree on the 'fact' that they are superior to everyone else, despite evidence to the contrary. Blueshift's small spaceship mode allows fast movement, both for attacks and getaway. Though he is not that powerful in combat, his speed reduces the chances of him being hit, leading him to become boastful of his 'prowess' and thus more prone to making mistakes, over-estimating his own abilities.
History
Blueshift was created along with his siblings Redshift, Starshot, Quasar and Pulsar to serve the empire. Together, they functioned as a combat unit, helping to drive the Autobots back. That is, until Blueshift's boastfulness got the better of him. When one of his superiors was killed in the line of duty, with only Blueshift as witness to the events, he decided to take advantage of the situation, and so took credit for his deceased superior's actions. However, the glory this brought him was short-lived, as it turned out his superior was only severely injured. As a result of this, Blueshift was moved to a post "perfect for him." Namely a deep-space colony. Bitter at being out of the bigger picture and away from the eyes of his superiors, he seethed with anger and resentment, determined not to make the same mistake again.. or at least not get caught. With the depletion of the Decepticon forces on Cybertron as a result of the Quintesson attack, he had finally been posted back to his homeworld.
His career once back was one of failure after failure. Once, he managed to be put in charge of Trypticon, alas this was when Trypticon was flooded and he was in charge of the cleaning duty to make it liveable. One day he will have a rank and people to boss about. One day...
Notes
- Blueshift is the proud possessor of the Mark of Legend medal, the highest honour that the Decepticon army can bestow. No-one is sure how he got it.
- Blueshift has been cannoned fifteen times by Galvatron. The second time was for the crime of his campaign manager Thrust threatening a human on national television during his campaign for Governor of California, potentially undermining the truce with the Protectorate of Nations. Numbers 3 through 15 all occurred in the space of about a minute after Blueshift defeated Redshift, who Galvatron heavily favored, in the 2029 Olympics' Full Combat tournament.
- Blueshift is a member of the Mayhem Attack Squad. If you ask Blueshift, he will tell you he is the MAS leader. If you ask any other MAS member, they will say "Who is Blueshift?"
- Blueshift's head comes off more easily than the head of any other single Decepticon.
