Firestorm
Allegiance: Autobot
Subgroup: Valoribot
Function: Valoribot Commander
"If you can't stand the heat, get out of my way"
Profile: The leader of the Valoribots, Firestorm walks a fine line between a commander and a berserker. He's an enthusiastic, charismatic leader, completely dedicated to the Autobot cause and the defence of human lives; under the surface however, he has a less charming side. Firestorm is possessed with an awful temper, and will often explode in fits of rage at the slightest thing. Although as passionate about the sanctity of life as any other Autobot, Firestorm can sometimes forget that the four warriors under his command are sentient beings with thoughts and feelings, and pushes them far too hard. This causes constant friction between Firestorm and his second-in-command, Blues; a festering resentment that constantly threatens to erupt - like Firestorm's temper - into a physical fight.
Abilities: Firestorm is the strongest and toughest of the Valoribots, impervious to almost all artillery and beam-weapons. In vehicle mode, he uses twin cab-mounted water cannons that can shoot freezing water a hundred metres, at high enough pressures to punch a hole in 4-inch steel plate. He can also use these cannons in robot mode, but prefers to use his fire-ax, which can cut through titanium steel plate by heating to a temperature of 6000 degrees Celsius. His fire-engine form has a top speed of 70 mph. Firestorm is a ferocious fighter, and relishes the chance to get close to his enemies.
Weaknesses: Firestorm is painfully conscious of Blues' resentment, but considers his second-in-command to be straight-laced and defensive; he reacts badly to any form of criticism from the police-warrior. His fits of temper alienate his own troops and often lead him to make rash, foolish decisions. His tendency to rush headfirst into close combat often means he ends up out-numbered. His fire-ax has inherent design flaw; it occasionally shatters in combat.
