X-Brawn Strength Agility Intellect Willpower 18c 13c 14x 9x Hand Size: 4 (25) Edge: 2 Known Powers: Cybertronian Physique: like his fellow Autobots, X-Brawn is a robotic entity of Cybertronian design and origin. As such, this rugged explorer has, by his very nature, the use of a large variety of abilities that reflect this. His very body gives X-Brawn these super human powers: * Body Armor (s): like most Cybertronians, X-Brawn was built (or formed) with a reinforced steel frame, one that offers him +2 resistance to injury. This makes him immune to most basic human attack forms, and exceptionally resistant to his fellow robots (taking his Strength into consideration). * Enhanced Senses / Microscopic + Telescopic Vision (w): all Transformers can alter their visual sensitivity as is necessary, where distance is concerned. Functioning at intensity 2, these powers let them see objects up to a mile distant with ease, as well as allowing them to read items on microfiche. * Invulnerability to Disease and Toxins (s): like all robots, X-Brawn is highly resistant to diseases and poisons that would kill organic beings. He possesses complete immunity to organic pathogens, and a 'mere' +10 resistance to other, more chemically creative substances. * Radio Transceiver (i): as are most all Transformers on earth, X-Brawn is equipped with an audio / video transmission system. This communications rig allows him instant contact with any other Autobot on earth, having intensity 10 power (25,000 mile range). * Size Alteration (a): most Cybertronians have some degree of control over their size, no matter what form they take. Due to his significant height in his humanoid mode, X-Brawn has this power via technicality; he may very well grow somewhat while transforming, but doesn't appear to do so. This power is bound in X-Brawn's case by the Growth Only and Permanent limitations, meaning that X-Brawn is always 14 foot tall in his humanoid mode. Due to his size, X-Brawn possesses this power at intensity 4 and while it's permanent, the requisite Strength and Agility changes are not applied. This since his foes often vary in size considerably; Predacons and Decepticons aren't all die-cast from the same mold. For simplicity's sake, one could just apply those alterations and call it a day, or he may go for accuracy and vary them based on the size of his current opponent; whichever works for your game. Bronco Blaster (i): this weapon, inherent to X-Brawn's vehicle mode (one of his side bars), detaches when he transforms, but can be stored on his back when not in use. He can use it in melee to inflict +2 physical damage, or fire its plasma bolts to inflict intensity 11 energy damage per blast. Dead Heat Crusher (w): this powerful unit, built into X-Brawn's oversized left arm, provides said arm prodigious strength. In battle, he can use it at a +2 to his current Strength score, allowing him to inflict unbelievable damage in melee. Of course, when using his spark engine, this can shatter buildings... Detection / (Cybertronian) Life Detection (w): X-Brawn can make use of a powerful sensor array that allows him to scan the area around him for Cybertronian life signs. Functioning at intensity 10, these sensors can even display their results in a holographic form, allowing X-Brawn to share their capabilities. Headlights (i): to better emulate earthen vehicles (and since they come in handy in the dark), most automotive Transformers on earth are equipped with a set of convenient headlights. These twin lamps can be used to generate intensity 8 illumination, making driving at night no problem. Iron Knuckle (s): this weapon, inherent to X-Brawn's vehicle mode (it's his front bumper), detaches when he transforms, and makes for a powerful bladed weapon. Usually wielded in his left hand, this blade allows X-Brawn to inflict +2 damage in melee - dead heat crusher enhanced, of course. Saber (s): this weapon, inherent to X-Brawn's vehicle mode (its his other side bar), detaches when he transforms, but can be stored on his back when not in use. He can use this serrated blade in melee to inflict +4 damage with every deadly strike - making it very deadly, considering his Strength. Shapeshifting (a): whenever he desires, X-Brawn can transform between his humanoid and Sport Utility Vehicle mode, and often does so quickly in battle to maximize the use of his abilities. This power is voice-activated, however ("X-Brawn, Transform!"). His S.U.V. mode is pretty fast, too. It has the equivalent of intensity 5 lightning speed on the road (105 m.p.h.), intensity 4 off-road (60 m.p.h.). Spark Engine (w): after he was super-charged by Ultra Magnus' Matrix powers in battle, X-Brawn was given a new spark engine to handle this additional energy - in order to make it more reliable. When he uses this engine, he transforms from chrome/green to white/green/red in hue in an impressive discharge of power. In addition to this spectacular visual, this engine grants X-Brawn various enhancements. While it costs him -2 on his Agility score, it boosts his already considerable Strength score +2 (!), and allows him to channel +2 amounts of energy through his bronco blaster - not bad at all, really... Southpaw Lariat (s): built into his left arm, this powerful weapon has all kinds of nifty applications. It consists of a rocket-powered grappling hook that is somewhat maneuverable, one which is connected back to X-Brawn by an extremely high-strength (20) length of cable. Primarily, he can use the hook to attempt grappling, grabbing, or plain ol' physical attacks upon anybody or anything within firing distance of his location. Also, he has demonstrated the ability to use this device to swing from building to building in a Spider-Man like fashion in vehicle mode. However, this is likely a bit more damaging to his surroundings... Triple Beam Attack (i): when they need to pool their resources, the three Autobot Brothers can, while using their spark engines, combine their weapons to emit a powerful energy assault. This combined blast of power is potent enough to inflict intensity 19 energy damage per devastating blast. Water Control / Waterwalking (a): in his vehicle mode, X-Brawn is buoyant on most liquid surfaces, though he can only move at intensity 1 speeds when doing so - 15 m.p.h. This power doesn't work in his humanoid mode, though - he tends to sink like a rock if he winds up in water in that shape... Equipment: (none) Hindrances: (none) Skills: Marksmanship (a): though he tends to prefer toughing it out in melee, X-Brawn is quite a good shot with his Rapid Fire Rifle. Since he can presumably utilize other, similar energy-casting weapons with equal skill, X-Brawn may wield any such device at one difficulty level lower than would otherwise be required. Repair (a): while he's not quite the mechanic that Side Burn is, X-Brawn nonetheless knows his way around most mechanical and/or electronic devices. When attempting to repair an existing device, or trying to modify a working item somehow, X-Brawn should make applicable actions at a reduced difficulty level. Swords / Knives (s): X-Brawn has demonstrated proficiency in not one or two edged weapons, but just about anything with a blade. As such, when utilizing his saber, his iron knuckle, or any other sharp implement, X-Brawn may do so as though at one difficulty level lower than is otherwise necessary. Calling: Explorer: while he does seriously respect his responsibilities as an Autobot warrior, X-Brawn sees his journey to earth as one of exploration, as well; it's a brand new world, with bizarre terrain previously unimagined, to conquer (in a motive sense, mind you, not actual conquest...). Likeness: In his vehicle mode, X-Brawn resembles a chromed Sport Utility Vehicle with a two-toned, green rear. In his humanoid mode, he appears to be a rather tall robot comprised of various, oddly-placed components of an SUV. When in his 'Super X-Brawn form, he appears the same, though his color scheme is different. In his enhanced form, he's a primarily white-hued vehicle, with black, red, blue, and green decorations all over the place. Personality: X-Brawn is truly in love with the panoramic vistas that the earth offers, especially those that ordinary vehicles have a hard time functioning on. This Autobot likes nothing more than to rough it out in the wild, where his rustic, rough-natured personality usually shines the brightest. The eldest of the three Autobot Brothers, X-Brawn usually perseveres in order to encourage his siblings in battle - and any other endeavors. Real Name: X-Brawn Occupation: warrior Legal Status: citizen of Cybertron with no known criminal record Marital Status: inapplicable Alias(es), if any: none Group Affiliation: the Autobots Height: 14' Hair: inapplicable Eyes: gold Weight: approximately 2.75 tons Other Distinguishing Characteristics: X-Brawn is composed of a strong alien metal that is primarily chrome and green in hue (or white with black, red, blue, and green trim, depending). Story: The exact origin of the Autobot called X-Brawn isn't exactly known. You see, it is known that he comes from Cybertron, as does his fellows, but it isn't known if this is the Cybertron of a parallel earth, or the Cybertron of the future; this makes things regarding his background rather complicated. However, it is known that he and his Autobot allies learned of the evil Megatron's designs on the planet earth, and as such, they hoofed it to beat the vile Predacon to that world. Arriving literally years before the would-be master of the universe, X-Brawn and company had plenty of time to prepare. Blending into human society by taking on the forms of earthen vehicles, the Autobots acted to help humanity in general as they prepared for the Predacon onslaught, at the same time building a powerful, global space bridge network that would allow them to drive anywhere on earth within minutes. Doing his part to blend in, X-Brawn assumed a form that best exemplified his personality, that of a Sport Utility Vehicle. When not on active duty, he tends to pose as one of many vehicles of a particularly wealthy young businesswoman, one who enjoys driving him around in the country. However, he doesn't let his love of the wild, untamed terrain of earth get in the way of his duty. He knows that, as the eldest of the three Autobot Brothers, that his siblings generally look up to him for leadership - and as an example of Autobot excellence. This makes him rather responsible in nature. Though he isn't quite so obsessed with his responsibilities as is Prowl, really. He has no problem having fun while on the lookout for any Predacon / Decepticon shenanigans, and when he does come across such villainy, he's more than happy to duke it out with them - either alone or with his Autobot fellows!
