Twin Twist Melee: RV 30 Coordination: RV 40 Brawn: RV 40 Fortitude: RV 40 Intellect: RV 10 Awareness: RV 10 Willpower: RV 75 Health: 150 Fortune: 95 Lifestyle: RV 20 Repute: RV +10 * * Amongst humans, at least. RV +20 to fellow Autobots, RV -20 regarding Decepticons. Origin: Twin Twist is one of the Transformers, shape-changing electromechanical life forms hailing from the planet Cybertron. This strange world, a variable and unknown distance from our own, is the harsh crucible that birthed him, and is responsible for his amazing abilities. Known Powers: Cybertronian Physique: unlike most beings skulking across the face of the world, Twin Twist is inorganic in nature. A silicon-based entity, Twin Twist is seemingly robotic in nature, and his various life functions combine to provide him these super-human capabilities: * Body Armor: Twin Twist is a particularly bulky Autobot. As wide as he is tall, Twin Twist is especially resilient both in and out of battle. Thanks to his shape, volume, and construction, he has rank value 20 body armor, which functions like so: RV 20 / RV 6 / RV 2 / RV 0 / RV 0 * Growth and Shrinking: size is something of a quandary where Transformers are concerned, seemingly changing on the fly as is needed. These abilities assist in showcasing this tendency, and in his basic, humanoid state, Twin Twist stands at fifteen foot tall. He thus possesses semi-permanent growth at rank value 4. This gives Twin Twist a +1 size factor, which inflicts a -1 RS penalty when trying to hit human-sized targets, but bolsters any damage he inflicts against them by +1 RS. Humans assaulting him reverse these combat modifiers. When he transforms into his tactical boring device mode, Twin Twist typically retains the same volume. However, when attempting to disguise himself as a 'real' boring device tank, or being boarded by human passengers, he swells in size to better accomodate such entities. This is an example of the more dynamic volume that Transformers typically possess. This unique trait allows them to interact with their fellows no matter their relative sizes, which assists them when riding within their fellows - or wielding them, as the case may be. * Microscopic / Telescopic Vision: like all Transformers, Twin Twist can adjust his visual sensitivity to account for extreme scales of distance. He has these abilities at rank value 2, letting him either spy objects miles away, or read microscopic print or etching, with ease. * Radio Transceiver: helping him communicate with his fellows easily, Twin Twist has an inherent radio transceiver. This technology lets him send and receive radio signals with rank value 20 ability, maintaining contact within one hundred miles of his location. * Resistance / Invulnerability to Disease and Poison: Twin Twist is inorganic in nature, being a silicon-based entity. Immunizing him from carbon-based disease and poison, this trait only gives him rank value 100 resliiance against other varieties of these threats. Propulsion: surprisingly fast for a boring device, Twin Twist's wheels and treads can move across flat surfaces with incredible speed! Scooting along at 200 MPH once he's fully accelerated, Topspin functionally has rank value 200 ground velocity. Shape Change: Twin Twist can transform between his humanoid configuration and a Cybertronian tactical boring device mode. Being a Jumpstarter, he can do this in .4 seconds, accomplishing it as a free action. His alien vehicular mode has these characteristics: Handling RV 30 Velocity RV 200 Durability RV 40 Protection RV 20 Super Digging: possessing two MS 200 drill bits that protrude out of the front of his vehicular configuration, Twin Twist can burrow his way through virtually anything. Digging with rank value 30 ability, he can move at up to 90 MPH under the surface. Limitations / Enhancements: (none) Equipment: Semi-Automatic Cannon: when he bothers fighting in his humanoid configuration, Twin Twist carries this incredibly deadly weapon. It fires explosive shells that inflict rank value 20 Slashing (fragmentary) damage each, raised by +1 RS if he fires them semi-automatic. Quirks: (none) Skills: Personal Weaponry: though he lacks advanced sapping skills or military training, Twin Twist excels in the use of his personal weaponry. He can add a +1 RS to hit during any attack he attempts with his drill bits in vehicle mode, usually as a deadly charge maneuver. Contacts: Twin Twist is an Autobot. No, really! Sure, he's unpredictably destructive regardless of the situation, but somehow he manages to avoid being more trouble than he's worth, albeit barely, so his fellows can reliably be depended upon for assistance should he request it of them Likeness: Twin Twist looks to be built from a strong alien metal, both turquiose and white in hue. As a boring device, his cab is turquoise, but the rest of him is white - save for his chromed drill bits. As a humanoid, his torso is turquiose, and the rest of him is white. Personality: While he's by no means stupid, Twin Twist is something of a one-note being. He loves nothing more than to wreck things, the more expensive and/or intricate they appear, the better. Once he's done tearing a thing apart, he gleefully dances around in the rubble, admiring his handiwork. Smashing things with wild abandon, whether they be Decepticon stooges or inanimate structures, Twin Twist can be somewhat exasperating. His fellow Autobots love having him around in the middle of a fight, but they can't stand them when they're trying to take a load off. Ultimately tolerated by his allies, since it means he's usually not directing his destructive impulses at them, the Autobots almost reluctantly keep him around. But in the end, they cannot dispute that Twin Twist is an even bigger thorn in the Deception's side. The only person that seems to readily enjoy Twin Twist and his antics is his brother, Topspin. The two are seemingly inseperable, and one is rarely seen without the other - except when Twin Twist finds himself trying to keep up with his even more destructive brother, that is. Real Name: Twin Twist Occupation: demolitions operative Legal Status: citizen of Cybertron with no known criminal record Marital Status: inapplicable Alias(es), if any: none Group Affiliation: Autobots Height: 15' Hair: inapplicable Eyes: blue Weight: several tons Other Distinguishing Characteristics: Twin Twist appears to be built from a strong alien metal that is primarily white in hue. He adds turquoise for his cockpit (in boring device mode) or his torso (in humanoid configuration), along with chromed-out drill bits.
