* Amongst humans, at least. RV +20 to fellow Decepticons, RV -20 where Autobots are concerned.

Origin:

As are his fellow Decepticons, Thrust is a Transformer, one of the many electromechanical life forms that evolved on the world of Cybertron! Thanks to this background, Thrust has a plethora of special abilities that define his physical existence - in both of his forms.

Known Powers:

Cybertronian Physique: his form of life hailing from the planet Cybertron, Thrust is one of the Transformers! This means that he is a robotic entity that benefits from numerous special abilities as does all of his kind, including the followering:

* Body Armor: whether he was born or made there, Thrust is a Cybertronian life form: one of the Transformers! Comprised of inorganic materials, Thrust possesses rank value 10 protection from incoming assault, a natural form of body armor that is represented as follows:

RV 10 / RV 4 / RV 0 / RV 0 / RV 0

* Growth / Shrinking: as are most of the Decepticons, Thrust is tall! He stands at around nineteen foot high, and thus has rank value 6 growth as a means of describing his sheer volume. As such, this Decepticon thug possesses a +1 size factor.

Practically speaking, Thrust suffers from a -1 RS to hit when targeting human-sized foes, but gains a +1 RS bonus on any damage he inflicts against them. Conversely, human-sized foes assaulting Thrust do so under the reverse of those modifiers.

But Thrust's volume is not constant. When he transforms into his modified F-15 configuration, Thrust swells in size somewhat, allowing him to properly represent the scale of such a vehicle. He may grow even larger if he must accommodate Cybertronian passengers, too!

* Microscopic / Telescopic Vision: it benefits Thrust to be able to see things far and wide, considering his usual vantage point. He benefits from rank value 2 iterations of these powers, allowing him to spy objects much smaller, and much farther from him, than usual.

* Radio Transceiver: sure, Thrust can hear and speak like normal. However, he's often far afield of his fellows, and as such relies upon the use of a powerful radio transceiver. This gear works at rank value 20, giving it an ideal maximum transception range of one hundred miles.

* Resistance / Invulnerability to Disease and Poison: Thrust's frame is built primarily out of alien metal and other exotic substances. As such, he's immune to carbon-based plague and toxins, and has rank value 100 resistance to other forms of disease and poisons.

Air-to-Air Missiles: when he wants to disassemble another aircraft from a great distance, Thrust makes use of these four air-to-air missiles. He can fire these supersonic weapons to great effect, projectiles whose function is as follows:

Handling RV 20

Velocity RV 500

Durability RV 20

Damage RV 30 Slashing (fragmentary)

Compressed Air Cannons: his primary weapon in his humanoid configuration, Thrust is armed with inherent air cannons, which compress local atmosphere until it can be emitted almost like a bullet, and inflicts rank value 40 Piercing damage with every deadly burst.

Flight: a modified F-15, Thrust can fly fast! He has the ability to move at up to 2.5 the speed of sound (rank value 250 flight). But even more impressively, the ducted fans in his wings allow Thrust to fly as slow as he likes, or even hover, which is great for landing anywhere!

Power Boost: in addition to his ordinary speed, Thrust can bolster the power of his flight to a significant degree. Possessing this power at rank value 40, he can use it to effectively double his speed for up to two minutes, giving that ability an effective +1 RS bonus.

Shape Change: easily his most notorious ability, Thrust can transform between a humanoid and a modified F-15. Featuring ducted fans that allow him to take off and land on virtually any solid surface, Thrust's F-15 mode is armed with these vehicular characteristics:

Quirks:

Bully: a perfect fit for the Decepticon horde, Thrust is the quintessential bully. He loves nothing more than to impose fear upon those he perceives as weaker than himself. Being decent in the face of such temptation requires that he first pass a Willpower ACTION at -2 RS.

Cowardice: the flip side of the bully coin, Thrust is a craven coward. He loves to talk big and make a ton of noise, but when faced with a foe that can stand toe-to-toe with him, he generally flees unless he can pass a Willpower ACTION with a -2 RS penalty beforehand.

Skills:

(none)

Contacts:

Ramjet is one of the Decepticons! He can ostensibly rely upon his fellows for assistance should he request it, particularly because he doesn't generally cross his fellows like some of his supposed allies... assuming it wouldn't put them in danger above and beyond the norm.

Likeness:

Thrust is a large electromechanical entity that is primarily burgundy in color. As an F-15, he adds black to his nosecone, wings, and rear stabilizer fins, while as a humanoid he adds black to his feet, fists, air intakes, and cranium (sometimes, but not always, his face as well).

Personality:

Everyone knows someone like Thrust. He talks bigger than the Empire State Building, but almost never actually produces results that match his words. He acts tough, makes a ton of noise, and struts like he owns whatever joint he's currently occupying. But it's all a lie.

A craven coward, Thrust does all this to cover up the fear that dominates his life. He advertises his presence miles in advance to hopefully ward off any would-be opposition, but regularly folds like a house of cards the moment anyone deigns to stand up to his nonsense.
