Known Powers:

Cybertronian Physique: like his fellow Predacons, Slapper is a robotic entity of Cybertronian design and origin. As such, this amphibious warrior has, by his very nature, the use of a large variety of abilities that reflect this. His very body gives Slapper these super human powers:

* Body Armor: like most Cybertronians, Slapper was manufactured (or formed) with a reinforced steel frame, one that offers him +2 resistance to injury. While not as durable as some of the larger Predacons, like Sky-Bite, Slapper is still rather resilient when you get down to it.

* Enhanced Senses / Microscopic + Telescopic Vision: 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: like all robots, Slapper 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: as are most all Transformers on earth, Slapper 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: most Cybertronians have some degree of control over their size, no matter what forms they take. Thanks to the size of both his basic forms, Slapper doesn't need to exert this control. However, in relation to human-sized beings, he technically has this power.

This power is bound in Slapper's case by both the Growth Only and Permanent limitations, meaning that Slapper's always at the same size - about nine feet tall - in both of his forms. Slapper possesses this power at intensity 2, 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 Limb / Grabber Claw: a sort of 'third arm' mounted on top of Slapper's left shoulder pad, this diamond-tipped, three-fingered claw is about as extendable as his tongue. Slapper can use this to inflict damage per a +3 weapon, though, and can cut through items of up to material strength 20 with it.

Claws / Spikes: both of Slapper's forms are adorned with a plethora of spikes across his body, as well as claws that are mounted on all of his fingers and toes. He can use these weapons to inflict damage as though they were +3 weapons with every deadly strike, though he usually prefers to use his tongue.

Enhanced Senses / Ultravision: Slapper has the ability to see into the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which comes in handy when setting up nocturnal ambushes and the like when others simply can't see clearly. He has this power at intensity 8, and can use it in both of his forms.

Leaping: Slapper has very strong, frog-like legs in both of his forms. As such, he has the ability to leap vast distances in a single bound, doing so at intensity 10; this allows him to cover at least one hundred feet straight up, forward, or down - without harming himself in the least.

Right Laser: part of the Predacons' field squad, Slapper is armed with a right-shoulder mounted laser (under his 'toothy' shoulder pad) that he usually uses in tandem with his compatriots. This laser can be used as a +5 energy weapon per blast, or +7 when used with the others.

Shapechange: as can be guessed by looking at various parts of his anatomy, Slapper has the power to transform into a large, almost demonic-looking horny toad. This form makes his amphibious activities more effective, but for the most part, Slapper can use most of his abilities in either of his forms.

Teeth: in his beast mode, Slapper is armed with a very large pair of fangs with which to rend his foes into little itty bitty pieces. Slapper can use these dreadful sharp implements as though they were +2 weapons, causing considerable damage to whoever he's currently biting.

Tongue-lash Attack: Slapper's principal attack form is the use of his elongating tongue, which can stretch up to 42' 3" in a pinch. He can use this tongue to strike an opponent in order to inflict damage as though it were a +4 weapon to anybody within firing range of his person.

Equipment:

(none)

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills:

Computers: Slapper has demonstrated the ability to commandeer and reprogram computer systems of varying complexities on several occasions. As such, he should have full use of this talent, allowing him to make any computer operation / programming FEATs at a reduced difficulty level.

Whips: when using his tongue-lash attack, Slapper can attempt to grab an object within the area with an average difficulty Strength (agility) action, and receives a one difficulty level reduction when using his tongue cause damage; if he does any, his tongue can entangle a foe as a contingent action.

Escaping this icky grappling attack can be done if a body so grappled can pass an average Strength (strength) action.

Calling:

World Domination: like the majority of the Predacons (and all of Megatron's other minions), Slapper is in the fight for the glory that conquest brings. He wants nothing more than to take over the universe, or at least a small portion of it, in order to force his will upon it and its occupants.

Likeness:

When in his horny toad mode, Slapper looks like a very large, robotic toad made from red and black metals, with eerie green eyes. However, when he transforms into his robot form, Slapper is seemingly in a perpetual crouch, and appears to be built from various components of a large, demonic steel toad.

Personality:

Slapper is the swindler of the Predacons, more sneaky and surly than his evil fellows. Despite his impressive abilities, this marsh warrior seems about as inept as the other Predacons, and usually bungles whatever job Megatron or Sky-Bite gives him. He's usually spoiling for a fight nonetheless.

Oddly, Slapper has an unnatural fondness for earth beers, even though he cannot actually be affected by their alcohol content - he just likes the taste of 'em... all of 'em.

Story:

Slapper is one of several Predacons in the service of Megatron, a powerful Cybertronian warrior that has journeyed to modern-day earth with designs on its bountiful supplies of energy. Exactly how Slapper came to be in Megatron's service, as well as what time period he's actually from, is still a mystery.

Regardless, he came to earth with Megatron and the other Predacons, only to find that the planet was lousy with Autobots; somehow, the heroic Cybertronians knew well in advance that Megatron and company were on their way, and had quite a lot of time to prepare for their arrival.

Though he is primarily a marshland warrior, one who excels in terrain that allows him to make maximum use of his amphibious form, Slapper nonetheless usually finds himself in all kinds of environments on his many assignments, in which he's always accompanied by Dark Scream and Gas Skunk.

This trio's missions mostly involve fetching some item (or items) for either Megatron or Sky-Bite, the Predacons' second in command. However, something typically always goes wrong with their plans, and they usually fail outright - but Slapper and company have had their fair share of successes, mind you.

With the arrival of the Decepticons on the scene, Megatron made less and less use of his Predacons on earth. This has caused increasing tension between the two groups of evil Cybertronians, which came to a head when the Decepticon leader, Scourge, tried to bump Galvatron (an enhanced Megatron) off.

After this, Slapper and his fellow Predacons returned to their leader's good graces, though they were ultimately defeated in their bid to take control of the mightiest Autobot of all, Fortress Maximus. Captured after their defeat, the Predacons were locked up in an penal asteroid colony near Cybertron.

Whether or not Slapper will escape this imprisonment has yet to be revealed...
