Rper: Jetta Windstar; shared by Leathurkatt
Character type: Permanent
Name: Knight Automotive Roving Robot
Nicknames: KARR
Gender Identity: same as KITT, male
Approx age: about ten years older than KITT
Alliance: Decepticons
Function/Job: security and intel, also the occasional fighter
Height: 19 feet
Approx mass: 6 metric tons
Cybertronian type: advanced AI vehicle with a Cybertronian bot form
Personality: Since the 1980's, KARR hasn't changed too much, other than learning a lot more and becoming smarter . Bearing a voice remarkably similar to Optimus Prime's, all though darker and far more twisted, it is VERY obvious he is KITT's evil twin and arch enemy. KARR was actually created BEFORE KI3T, about a decade earlier, making him the older brother, and in KARRs right processor, making KI3T the inferior production line model! It's a fair conclusion. Thus, KARR was created by the same man as KI3T, Wilton Knight. There was an error in his programming, and before he could cause trouble, also unable to completely restart the programs, Wilton Knight ordered a full, permanent shut down on KARR, keeping him locked away at FLAG's original base, without even giving KARR a chance to prove his worth. Thus, KARR hates being locked away and being unused, he does not mind being an instrument of destruction, and always seeks out a chance to go after the Autobots or his brother when he is given the green light.
KARR is fairly independent, calm and quiet, though he does seem to be a bit more...nuttier nowadays. He isn't completely whack-o like Tarnish, but he can be rather unpredictable and spontaneous when it comes to fighting or lashing out with words. KARR is in no way immature and goofy, and he's got just as much knowledge about Earth as KI3T. KARR seeks to protect himself and whatever the Decepticons want, and those things only. KARR definitely prefers the opposite gender, all though he hasn't actively been seeking a sparkmate, because he prefers staying in the action and doing more 'useful' things anyway. KARR can often be a bit rude and argumentative, often preferring to do things alone rather than with groups, though occasionally, he will try to respect others and give them a little leeway so as to reduce bringing unnecessary disorder among his team-mates.
Sometimes, KARR will be reckless and seek a little action or conflict, but he generally keeps to himself until he thinks he needs to step into some action. KARR is always willing to hlep out in battles and will always fight for what he thinks is his. He doesn't mind the humans and techno organics, though probably shouldn't have any of his own, because he would likely treat them as a side-kick. However, KARR is always learning, and has a curious nature similar to KITT (believe it or not), and at some point, he may be able to handle friendships/bonds with more delicate beings. KARR usually has little trouble luring people to him, using his calm demeanor or perhaps impressing others with something in a given situation. While he may seem to show interest in a human or techno (or even befriending a 'Con), it's often because he may only see them as a guinea pig in accomplishing a more important task or for something that may benefit him in some way the future. If you encounter him in the right circumstances, KARR may actually be a decent friend, and with his own beliefs that may differ from other 'Cons, he may seem like an anti-hero of sorts on occasions.
Appearance:
Like KITT, KARR is a black mech, and looks exactly the same as his brother, dimensions, abilities, and design wise. The only difference between them are the different colored scanners that cover the typical locations of a Cybertronian’s optics. Their forms are quite sleek with delta shaped plates of armor on the back, all though these are NOT actual wings, as mentioned in the list of pictures above. KARR and KITT both actually do have wings, which are black, large and as shiny as the rest of their forms, which look like leathery bat-like wings. Other than the scanners, the only differences in their appearances are their melee weapons
Weapons:
Abilities:
Features/mechanisms. KITT and KARR share ALL the same features and weapons!
Strengths:
Like KITT, KARR has a vast amount of knowledge about earth, and his fighting style is fairly versatile and unpredictable. He's deadly in the sense that he LOVES to play, just like Goliath. He's quite graceful and agile, and makes use of his alternate modes and all their features where possible. Being quite loyal to the Decepticons, he uses his abilities to their maximum potential in hopes to keep their trust, and solidify his loyalty to Megatron, since Megatron was among those that allowed him to be rebuilt. He is forever in the Decepticons debt. KARR likes hand to hand combat, especially when he gets to use his lightsaber chainsaws, which are powered by his energon and nanomachines by power sources in his palms.
Weaknesses:
KARR's greatest weakness, similar to KITTs, if you don't count the scanner, is somewhat unknown. KARR's vulnerability increases the slower the replicating nanomachines become, especially if he is reduced to his bullet proof shell only. KARR is very unemotional, and its hard to hack into him and find his weak spot. It's possible that if he's driven to a point of extremity, he may loose his sense of control and snap, especially when his patience is tested. Like the other FLAG bots and Twister, it is rare to see him go berserk. And, while he may be hard to hack, if someone gets control of his CPU, it's easy to get him to slip. Also, just like KITT and Interceptor, if they're busy focusing on a battle or busy hacking at something, they tend to slip up with their secondary objective, allowing them to become a more open target, whether they're prepared or not.
Family:
Same as KITT.
History: KARR was built before KITT, therefore he was also created by Charles Graiman, and was meant to be Michael Knight's real partner. KARR has always had a nasty grudge against Wilton Knight for shutting him down. He's always seen himself as the superior model. FLAG temporarily shut down for a good handful of years, and then, while Dr.Graiman got Knight Industries going and brought back KITT as the KI3T, KARR was again, rebuilt sometime after the time Dr.Graiman died in action.
However, Michael freed KITT's ‘primitive’, original form and reinstalled KITT's program and personality. They fought KARR and rammed into him head on, severely damaging KITTs form, whose nanoskin was already inoperable, and could only rely on his original bullet-proof shell. KARR was thought to be destroyed...
Once the Autobots and Decepticons made their presence known, KARR's body was found by Ravage and Blackout, who salvaged what they could find of him and reported them to Megatron a little after the canon KR08 series. Megatron took KARR's pieces and what was left of his CPU, and after they went back and stole the schematics and retrieved the rest of his parts, they began a project to rebuild him, knowing he would make a nice addition to their army. They were able to retrieve most of KARR's personality, memories, data, and transformation systems and abilities. Once KARR was re-designed by Scapel and a few other scientists and medics, he once again became KITT's true nemesis, his evil twin. After this point in time, he reacquired all the same forms and abilities, the same type of nanoskin, and bared the same defense mechanisms. The only thing different about him was the melee weapons and a new mech form--KARR gained a Decepticon form as well, which is far different than the form seen at the end of the new season, though it still bears the nanoskin, nanomachine wings, ion boosters and scanners to replace the optics.
Once KARR was built, KARR not only killed the last of little Cira’s family but also recklessly and sometime later accidentally hit Derrick’s mother as he sped through a non-lit intersection where he had been required to stop.
KARR currently works with a few of the Decepticons (unless given major orders by Megatron), but is otherwise a single party, fighting where needed. KARR will do whatever KARR pleases.
