Movor F A S E R I P Res Pop In 40 In 40 Am 50 In 40 In 40 In 40 Rm 30 Ex 20 Gd -10* Health: 170 Karma: 110 * Amongst humans, at least. In +40 among Predacons / Decepticons, In -40 among Autobots. Origin: As are his fellow Combatrons, Movor is an electromechanical being from Cybertron, an evil robot that has, with his compatriots, waged a war against the heroic Autobots in a bid to conquer the universe. This alien may also be from another time period, making him doubly out of place on earth. Known Powers: Cybertronian Physique: like his fellow Decepticons, Movor is a robotic entity of Cybertronian design and origin. As such, this high-flying aerial combatant has, by his very nature, the use of a large variety of abilities that reflect this. His very body gives Movor these super human powers: * Armor Skin: like most Cybertronians, Movor was built (or formed) with a reinforced steel frame, one that offers him Excellent (20) resistance to injury. This makes him immune to most basic human attack forms, and moderately resistant to his fellow robots. His defense breaks down as follows: Ex 20 / Ty 6 / Fe 2 / Sh 0 / Sh 0 * Growth: 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, Movor has this power via technicality; he may very well grow somewhat while transforming, but doesn't appear to do so. According to the standard Growth rules, Movor has this power at Typical (6) rank, making him stand approximately twelve feet tall. Since his Strength rank is higher, this offers him no combat benefit, but on the other hand, human-sized folks targeting Movor receive a +1 CS to hit him in battle. The Ultimate Powers Book, on the other hand, gives Movor this power at Poor (4) rank, making him out to be two times a normal human's size. This would grant this Decepticon scout a +1 CS to the Strength score listed above (raising it to Monstrous (75)), thus adding 25 points to his Health score. Now, according to the Transformers MSH Sourcebook, Movor's statistics are geared towards mixing it up with beings of like size. As such, when fighting folks of normal human size, he should receive a +1 CS to the damage he inflicts upon them (+1 CS per 2 CS of growth). Finally, per the Universal Heroes rules, Movor has a +1 size factor. As such, he inflicts +1 CS damage vs normal human opponents, and has 1 CS of Damage Reduction against them. On the other hand, he is at a -1 CS to hit them in combat, while they receive a +1 CS to hit him. * Microscopic / Telescopic Vision: all Transformers have the ability to alter their visual sensitivity as is necessary, where distance is concerned. Functioning at Feeble (2) rank, this power lets them see objects up to a mile distant with ease, as well as allowing them to read items on microfiche. However, it should be noted that Movor is in fact possessed of telescopic vision that functions above and beyond that of regular Cybertronians. When he activates his enhanced telescopic vision, Movor can zoom in on objects up to 250 miles distant (having this power himself at Typical (6) rank). This allows the high-flying Combatron to spot objects on the ground from low-earth orbit with normal visual acuity. In other words, he can scout out Autobot activity anywhere on earth (depending on his orbit) and even attack from space should he wish to; he usually fights alongside his fellows, however. * Radio Transceiver: as are most all Transformers on earth, Movor is equipped with an audio / video transmission system. This communications rig allows him instant contact with any other Decepticon or Predacon on earth, having Excellent (20) range (25,000 miles). * Invulnerability to Disease and Toxins: like all robots, Movor is highly resistant to diseases and poisons that would kill organic beings. He possesses this resistance at Class 1k rank versus organic pathogens, and at Unearthly (100) versus more chemically creative substances. Camouflage System: as do his fellow Combatrons, Movor seems to have a specialized camouflage system that he can use to blend into various environments (such as Arctic tundra, or blackest space). This system works at Feeble (2) rank, giving him a camo pattern appropriate to the background at hand. Flight: having the highest level of power output among all the Decepticons, Movor has the power to fly at astounding speeds. Functioning at Unearthly (100) rank, this power lets Movor fly at 600 m.p.h. in the atmosphere, or 40,000 m.p.h. in space (well over escape velocity). Gestalt: using this special power, Movor can combine his physical form with that of his fellow Combatrons. Working at Incredible (40) rank, this ability can be used to create the ultra-powerful Ruination, one of the Decepticons' most powerful operatives! Resistance to Cold, Fire and Heat Attacks: built to function normally in the depths of space, Movor is highly resistant to temperature variations. As such, he has Shift X (150) resistance to any attack form that does damage in the form of intense cold, fire, or heat - his shielding covers those contingencies. Shapechange: his most notorious ability, this power allows Movor to transform his humanoid form into that of a space shuttle, if admittedly a rather small one; it's only slightly larger than the vehicle forms of his fellow Combatrons. Movor's shuttle form has the following vehicle specs: C S B P Gd 10 Un 100 In 40 Ex 20 Equipment: Laser Pistol: his primary weapon in his humanoid mode, this weapon can be used to fire a powerful laser at Movor's opponents. Functioning at Good (10) rank, this firearm will inflict like Armor Piercing Energy damage with each deadly blast - and he uses it often in battle... Moon Lasers: mainly used in his vehicular mode (though they can be mounted on his lower legs in his humanoid form), these curiously named weapons fire a beam of colorless white energy at Movor's foes. Whether or not they're cohesive moonlight, they nonetheless inflict Remarkable (30) Energy damage. Quirks: (none) Talents: Advanced Guns: as are the other four Combatrons, Movor is well-versed in the use of most all advanced, directed energy weapons. Whether it be a laser pistol, concussion rifle, or even a particle accelerator beam, Movor can wield it as though his Agility score was +1 CS higher than is listed above. Aerial Combat: being built for (very) high flying combat, Movor knows how to truly think in three dimensions while working his way through a firefight. As such, he should receive a +1 CS to all combat maneuvers attempted while he's in the air, whether or not his other skills back him up. Military: as are the rest of the Combatrons, Movor is a born and bred warrior, and is naturally skilled in various matters of a martial nature. In other words, he knows general military protocols and procedures like the back of his manipulator, and can lead fighting beings into battle when necessary. Contacts: As one of the five Combatrons, Movor can readily rely upon his teammates for assistance in a pinch - lest they lose the ability to merge into Ruination. Furthermore, as a Decepticon, he can conceivably rely upon that motley batch of villains (not to mention the Predacons, to an extent) for help if necessary. Likeness: In his vehicle form, Movor resembles an American-model space shuttle, with like coloring, though the size is somewhat off; he's only about twelve foot long in this mode. Furthermore, unlike modern shuttles, he's heavily armed. His humanoid form looks like unto a robot built from spare shuttle parts. Personality: Something of a loner of the bunch, Movor tends to be a bit less bombastic compared to his Combatron teammates. Sure he's snide and sarcastic when the opportunity arises, but since he spends so much time alone in outer space, this 'bot tends to keep to himself more often than not. Real Name: unrevealed Occupation: Decepticon warrior Legal Status: citizen of Cybertron wanted on earth for various crimes against humanity Marital Status: inapplicable Alias(es), if any: none Group Affiliation: the Decepticons, the Combatrons Height: 12' (approximately) Hair: inapplicable Eyes: purple Weight: several tons Other Distinguishing Characteristics: Movor is composed of a strong alien metal that is primarily black and white in hue, with a few orange bits here and there, regardless of his form. Story: As were the other first string of Decepticons 'born' on earth, Movor began his existence as an Autobot. Having left Cybertron for earth a good sixty years ago, he and his fellows crash-landed for some unknown reason in the American Midwest, and were only recently unearthed by later Autobot arrivals. Before they could be properly revived, however, the Cybertronian who would become Movor, along with the other Autobots in stasis onboard his ship, were abducted by Megatron, who had... plans for these helpless entities. Taking their inert forms to an American military base, he put said plans into motion. Awakening the sleeping Autobots, he had his Predacon minions force their stasis pods to scan in various martial vehicles in the vicinity. Carrying Movor's stasis pod, Sky-Bite couldn't decide which vehicle to scan in, since all the other 'good' ones had been taken, but fate decided for him. Dropping the pod after he tripped, Sky-Bite almost caused the pod to scan in a nearby eagle, which would've produced another Predacon. However, the scanning beam narrowly missed said bird and struck a landing space shuttle - a heavily armed one at that - and Megatron then exposed the pod to his Spark. This combination brought forth Movor, a newly formed (and brainwashed) Decepticon who could transform into a miniature, 'military' space shuttle himself. Considering his size, it is unknown if he can carry human passengers with him into orbit, but he can still make it there under his own power. Thanks to this ability, unique among all of Megatron's minions on earth, he could slip into space in order to spy on various situations on the earth. When not on a specific mission for his new boss, Movor would find himself in space keeping an eye on Autobot activity on earth. He couldn't always spot them in action, for sometimes they were mobile in areas that he simply couldn't see from his orbital position, but this was nonetheless quite useful. In fact, Movor managed to spot the secret hiding place of the mysterious Fortress Maximus for Megatron on various occasions. Since this was the main reason that Megatron and his cronies had come to earth in the first place, Megatron was very happy about this. This didn't save Movor from Megatron's wrath once Scourge and Mega-Octane's plan to get rid of Megatron (who had since turned into Galvatron) failed utterly. Fearing their heightened individuality (and the possibility that they may revert to Autobots), Galvatron decided to rid himself of his new Decepticons, and buried them alive when he destroyed a large portion of the Autobots' space bridge network - while both the Autobots and Decepticons were within it! Despite this, some augmented brainwashing led Movor and his fellows to continue to serve Galvatron to the very end, fighting the Autobots until their leader was finally quashed at the hands of Omega Prime and his mighty Matrix Blade. With this done, Movor and the other Decepticons were incarcerated. Soon after, he was transferred to an asteroid penal colony in the vicinity of Cybertron, where he presumably lies to this very day - unless he (or some other villainous Cybertronian) has managed to arrange for his escape...!
