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.

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 (s): whether he was born or made there, Thrust is a Cybertronian life form: one of the Transformers! Comprised of inorganic materials, Thrust possesses intenstity 4, or +1, protection from incoming assault, inherent defense that is proof against most attacks.

* Growth / Shrinking (a): as are most of the Decepticons, Thrust is tall! He stands at around nineteen foot high, and thus has intensity 3 growth as a means of describing his sheer volume. This makes him highly effective against smaller foes for the most part.

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 (w): it benefits Thrust to be able to see things far and wide, considering his usual vantage point. He benefits from intensity 2 iterations of these powers, allowing him to spy objects much smaller, and much farther from him, than usual.

* Radio Transceiver (i): 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 intensity 7, 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 intensity 20, or +5, resistance to other forms of disease and poisons.

Air-to-Air Missiles (i): 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 that each inflict intensity 10 fragmentary damage on impact.

Compressed Air Cannons (a): 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 his Agility +5 in 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 (intensity 13). 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 (w): in addition to his ordinary speed, Thrust can bolster the power of his flight to a significant degree. Possessing this power at intensity 25, he can use it to effectively double his speed for up to two minutes, giving that ability an effective +2 bonus.

Shape Change (a): 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 unlocks his air-to-air missile arsenal.

Hindrances / Augmentations:

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 an average difficulty Willpower action.

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 of average difficulty beforehand.

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.

Calling:

Demolisher: a petty thug and a cowardly bully, Thrust is a perfect representation of this calling. He destroys people and things just to make himself feel superior, though he spirals into uselessness on occasion when he encounters something that resists his destructive urges.

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.
