Rper: MapleH07 (Maple)
Character type: Permanent
Name: Skydive
Nicknames: 'Dive, Chickenbot (Usually only used by 'Cons with a death wish)
Gender Identity: Mech
Approx age: Same age as his brothers
Alliance: Autobot
Function/Job: Aerialbot Tactician
Height: 37 feet
Approx mass: 11 tons
Cybertronian type: Normal Cybertronian
Personality: Skydive is more interested in reading about jet fighters than being one, He's more likely to have his face stuck in a book or datapad that he's managed to find about World War II air battles than to be in the air himself. It's not that he's a coward- he's just fascinated by the science of aerial warfare.
But even though he's a somewhat reluctant member of the Aerialbot team, he is invaluable- his knowledge of aerial military tactics is without equal. The other Aerialbots constantly look to him to plan strategy, a responsibility Skydive sometimes finds to be daunting given his extreme modesty.
Despite the daunting thought, like the other Aerialbots, Skydive will happily jump to the defence of his brothers, willing to risk his own life if it means keeping them safe.
Appearance: The nosecone and the wings of his alternate form fold back to point upwards on his back, whilst the cockpit remains on his chest, as with most flying bots. The thruster is also located there, allowing him continued use of his feet for fighting techniques like the odd kick to a Decepticon rather than frying their face. Despite his alternate form being grey, Skydive has a mainly black body, but the wings, nosecone and thruster stay the same shade of grey.
Alt mode: F-16E Fighting Falcon
Holoform: Named Laurie, his holoform is a young man of his middle to late twenties, with short, pale blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Typically he's seen wearing blue jeans and a white t-shirt with a black flight jacket, and sometimes with a red scarf.
Weapons: In jet mode, he can shoot laser-guided missiles with a range of 80 miles. In robot mode, he uses a nega-gun, which shoots a beam that cancels the bonding force between molecules. Only objects held together by the strongest molecular bonds can resist crumbling to dust when hit by the beam.
Abilities: Forms Superion with his brothers.
Strengths: The information-storage capacity of Skydive's cerebro-circuitry is greater than most Transformers'. This enables him to record instantaneously any flying motions he sees, and, within the limits of his design, duplicate them himself. Thus, he's able to simulate the techniques of World War II aces he's studied on film as well as the gliding patterns of birds he's watched in person. He is possibly the most skilled flyer of all the flying Transformers.
Weaknesses: Sometimes, in duplicating the flight of another, Skydive pushes his design beyond its limits. This often results in mid-air stalls. He can usually recover before crashing, but while stalled, he is completely vulnerable to attack. Perhaps his biggest fault, if you could call it that, is he doesn't realize how smart he really is. At least everyone else around him does.
Family: Brothers: Air Raid, Fireflight, Silverbolt (Gestalt Commander) and Slingshot.
Carrier/Surrogate Father: Wheeljack
History: Skydive, along with his brother Aerialbots, were created and brought online to better combat the Decepticons in the air. Their Sparks were spawned one by one from the AllSpark, and carried by Wheeljack, shortly before the launch of the AllSpark into space, making them the last Autobots spawned by the AllSpark.
While on Cybertron, the Aerialbots were taught how to fight, on the ground as well as in the air, though the latter was left to a lot of trial and error, as the Autobots did not have a lot of aerial-frame bots to teach them.
During the battle on Earth, the Aerialbots stayed on Cybertron. Some time after Optimus’s message, however, they decided to leave, mostly to see if they could find Wheeljack. During the journey, the team was separated and scattered, though they seem to be slowly making their way to Earth to regroup.
