Cryotek Strength Agility Intellect Willpower 13d 10x 17d 10x Hand Size: 3 (17) Edge: 1 Known Powers: Cybertronian Physique: like his fellow Predacons, Cryotek is a robotic entity of Cybertronian design and origin. As such, this ice cold warrior has, by his very nature, the use of a large variety of abilities that reflect this. His very body gives Cryotek these super human powers: * Body Armor (s): like most Cybertronians, Cryotek was built (or formed) with a reinforced steel frame, one that offers him +3 resistance to injury. This makes him immune to most basic human attack forms, and moderately resistant to his fellow robots - especially those pesky Autobots. * Enhanced Senses / Microscopic + Telescopic Vision (w): all Transformers have the ability to alter their visual sensitivity as is necessary, where distance is concerned. This allows them to magnify the image of things that are very small, or very far away, doing so with intensity 2 ability. * Invulnerability to Disease and Toxins (s): like all robots, Cryotek 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, Cryotek is equipped with an audio / video transmission system. This communications rig allows him instant contact with any other Predacon / Decepticon 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. The trick with Cryotek, though, is that he's larger in his dragon mode than he is in his humanoid form; his dragon mode is 32 foot long, while his humanoid form is 'but' sixteen foot tall. This power is bound in Cryotek's case by the Growth Only and Permanent limitations, meaning that he is always 16 foot tall in his humanoid mode. Due to his size, Cryotek possesses this power at intensity 5, and while it's permanent, the requisite Strength and Agility changes are not applied. This since his foes often vary in size considerably; the Autobots are not all die-cast from the same mold. For the sake of simplicity, 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. Additional Limbs / Battle Tail (a): when engaged in melee, yet not close enough to sink his claws and/or fangs into a foe, Cryotek can instead pummel him with his rather large tail. This tail allows him to inflict his Strength +2 in damage, but he may also use the Telescopic Attack power stunt. Claws (s): on all four of Cryotek's limbs in his dragon form (and on his legs in his humanoid mode), these sharp talons can be used to lethal effect in melee. Cryotek can use these claws to inflict his Strength +3 in physical (sharp) damage with each deadly swipe, though he prefers his cold attack, really. Cold Control (i): Cryotek's most devastating ability, this power can be used to freeze even the most powerful opponents into submission. Fired from his maw in dragon mode (and left 'hand' in his humanoid form), this power takes the form of a chilling breath weapon, like a traditional dragon's. Cryotek can use this intensity 15 power in several ways. His breath weapon can be used to simulate the Cold Fire, Cold Waves, Ensnarement, Flash Freeze, Ice Missiles, and Ice Patch power stunts - though he usually sticks to the Cold Fire and Flash Freeze stunts unless he's in a particularly sticky situation. Shapeshifting (a): his most notorious power, Cryotek has the ability to choose between three different forms: a humanoid, a dragon, and a bizarre 'dragon mobile'. This power is voice activated, however ('Cryotek, terrorize!'). His automotive mode isn't all that fast, though. Treat Cryotek as though he has intensity 5 lightning speed in this form (drives at 90 m.p.h.). Teeth (s): while he has other weaponry, Cryotek also possesses a frightening maw filled to the brim with steel fangs - the better to tear his foes to shreds with. He can bite to inflict his Strength +2 in physical (sharp) damage, but can try to hang on to keep inflicting damage as well (like a wrestling move). Wings (a): finally, Cryotek is possessed of a pair of wings that appear to be built from elemental ice; they are steely, yet a translucent blue at the same time. He can use these powerful appendages to achieve flight, moving through the air with intensity 5 speeds (90 m.p.h.). Equipment: (none) Hindrances: (none) Skills: Espionage (i): while he's not stealthy, per se, Cryotek has a knack for picking subtle details out of the environment around him, often helping him to learn the dark secrets of others. As such, when seeking out information of any type, he should receive a reduction in the difficulty of any applicable actions. Natural Weapons (s): while his cold powers are much more effective when dealing with his particular foes, Cryotek is nonetheless highly skilled in the use of his own, personal weaponry. As such, he should make attacks with his claws, tail and teeth at a reduced difficulty level. Calling: World Domination: there's no two ways about it - Cryotek is a schemer, through and through. He's not in Megatron's camp for the opportunity to destroy things or for material gain, so much as to dominate others. That's why he keeps his catalog of dirty little secrets, for they give him power over many Transformers. Likeness: Cryotek, in his beast mode, resembles nothing more than an immense, blue dragon that appears to be built from ice and steel. In his humanoid mode, he appears to be constructed from various dragon bits, especially his legs and - the weird part - his 'dragon head' left arm. Personality: Cryotek is a quiet, shifty sort. He tends to skulk around on the edges of Transformer life, picking at that which his fellow Cybertronians have left behind or forgotten, and doing his best to use his finds against his foes to maximum effect. He's quite resourceful, though, and as such makes a great spy. Real Name: Cryotek Occupation: Predacon warrior Legal Status: citizen of Cybertron wanted by Earth authorities for various nefarious acts committed worldwide Marital Status: inapplicable Alias(es), if any: none Group Affiliation: the Predacons Height: 16' (approximately), 32' long (approximately, in dragon mode) Hair: inapplicable Eyes: yellow Weight: several tons Other Distinguishing Characteristics: Cryotek is made of a strong, alien metal that is primarily blue (of various shades) in hue, adorned with steel plates and seeming ice regardless of his current form. Story: Most of Cryotek's background - like his present - is shrouded in mystery. However, at some point in his past, this mighty Predacon joined forces with Megatron, an amazingly powerful six-changer Transformer, and left his home of Cybertron with this master villain for earth. Though he told the people of earth he simply wanted their energy, Megatron was also searching out the location of the one and only Fortress Maximus, a vastly potent Autobot who he could use to take over the galaxy itself! However, he didn't want to tip off the Autobots who'd apparently beat him to this world. As such, he had to keep the Autobots busy, tearing up the planet and raiding it for energy sources while he sent Cryotek out looking for the massive battle platform. While his mission was a secret, Cryotek nonetheless ran afoul of the Autobots on occasion, not to mention anybody else that got in his way. Megatron ultimately found Fortress Maximus, though controlling the behemoth of a robot was a bit more challenging. Things came to a head after the villain was transformed into the diabolical Galvatron, and simply seized Maximus' power; this caused an all out battle with the Autobots - to the finish. Despite Galvatron's power, his minions were vastly outnumbered by the Autobots, and Galvatron himself fell before the might of Omega Prime's Matrix Blade. Once the fight was over, Galvatron and most all of his minions (including Cryotek) were shipped off the earth in Fortress Maximus. And delivered to a penal colony on an asteroid in the vicinity of Cybertron. Whether Cryotek will escape this prison or not has yet to be revealed, but he's quite the powerful - and resourceful - Predacon, so it's likely the world has not seen the last of this terrifying, draconic villain...!
