OOC POST =Tech specs, RATBAT.

The most difficult one of the 3 tech specs I've written... I ended up pretty much remodeling the character completely, to make him effective enough to live up to his rank and reputation. He is also not the animally dumb G1 bat that just skreeches, he is a intelligent being that actually speaks, like in the Marvel comics.

(His size is based off the Wandering Albatross, the biggest Alabtross in the world, so YES, that INSANE wingspan actually does work on such a short body)

Strength 3

Intelligence 9

Speed 7

Endurance 3

Rank 6

Courage 7

Firepower 0 (Doesn't use firearms)

Skill 9

Alt-Mode

No earthen alt mode, since he doesn't really need one.
Back on Junkion and Cybertron where he used to live, he curled up, wrapping himself in his wings, making himself look like a shimmering, humming metallic ball, that often lured curious victims to pick him up. And when he had been picked up, he unfolded his wings, wrapping them around the head of his victim, and then proceeded to bite the victim and drain its energy.
He still has this ability, and would use it if needed.

Robot mode

Height: 4 feet 5 inches (1.37m)
Wingspan: 12 feet (3.6m)
Weight: 132.2lbs (60kg)

ART. Ratbat's freshly designed head. Lame lineart.

Antennae.
- Attached to his ears. A pair of very sensitive antennaes that pick up any message from the surroundings. Working area not so large, but pick up everything that happens close around Ratbat. Like most of his other scouting assets, he can tune town his antennae, minimizing the information bombarding to a minimun rate.

Highly developed audios.
- Inside his long ears. Extremely sensitive hearing. Can be shut off and turned on very quickly.

Sense of smell.
- Another very sensitive scouting skill. Located at the tip of his face, the "nose". Incredible accuracy, and capactiy to pick up any scent. Can also be tuned down.

Sensor wings. (yeah, I know that this one is physically impossible, and impossible in all other ways too, but hey, fiction is fiction ;D )
- Ratbat's most sensitive sensors are located in his wings. These wings are metallic, but almost seem like liquid, shimmering like quicksilver and bending like organic matter. The surface is covered in a pattern that slightly resembles veins; that is the sensory network. Ratbat's wings are used for locating pretty much anything from energy to fuel and to heat.

Stealth flight turbines.
- Located under his wings, fastened to his sides, are a pair of small flight turbines, which make almost no sound at all, and only let off a slight blueish glow.

Gripping feet.
- Ratbat's feet are made for gripping, not walking. He looks rather awkward when walking on the ground.

Weapons

Retractable fangs.
- Has a pair of extremely sharp fangs that penetrate even the sturdiest armour. Most of the time the fangs are short, but they can be pushed further out from his jaws, growing longer.

Spike-tongue.
- Has a long tongue-like spike formation in his mouth. The spikes will snap out to the sides, and stab into metal, just like his fangs do. The spikes are hollow, and take in the energy of the victim, the energy traveling through the hollow spikes, the tongue, and into Ratbat's body.

Stun-pulse.
- Ratbat wraps his wings around the face/head of his victims. The reason to this be that the humming, sensory metal emits slight pulses that will start to confuse the victims sensors and CPU system, and then totally freeze them. The smaller the victim, the easier this process is.

Claws.
- The claws on his feet can be used to do some proper scratching damage as well, even though Ratbat does not really join in on fights unless he is hunting.

Weaknesses

Lack of strenght.
- He is far from a brute force, very far.

Weak wings.
- His wings a very sensitive to damange.

Eyesight.
- Ratbat's eyesight is not the greatest. However, he rarely even really needs his eyesight, since he can -feel- everything that happens around him.

Thundercracker's stats and abilities are based off his official bio :3 just like his weaknesses and little attitude problems as well. The only thing I took the... liberty to remake, are his looks. And hell knows I wasn't the only one who went nuts with re-designing *looks in the direction of movie Transformers*

Apologies for spelling/grammar errors, this retarded computer does not know the luxury of spell check.

Link to his official info at NTFA

Strength 8 (He is a grunt)

Intelligence 7

Speed 8

Endurance 8

Rank 5

Courage 5 (Most of the time relucant to fight, especially around humans. Will fight when ordered to, it would be rare of him to fight without an direct order)

Firepower 8

Skill 7 (He is no battle tactician with fancy battle plans, he is a brute)

Alt-Mode

Sukhoi Su 30 jet (NATO reporting name: Flanker-C)
- The Su-30 is an agile military aircraft, developed in Russia, that can perform both air superiority fights and ground strikes.

# Length: 72 ft 9 in (21.935 m)
# Wingspan: 48 ft (14.7 m)
# Height: 21 ft 5 in (6.357 m)

- What the rather big fighter jet lacks in speed, it makes up for with amazing agility and unprecedented maneuverability. Su-30 is able to perform very advanced maneuvers, most of them without any loss of altitude.

Annnd if anyone wants to see just what kind of agility I'm talking about here, may I direct your gaze towards this m-a-g-n-i-f-i-c-e-n-t piece of airhsow? SU-30 Airshow

Robot mode

Height: 32 feet 11 inches (10.09m)
Weight: 8'3 tons (leadaft :D )

Heavy armour
- TC's armour is not of the light type; he could be compared to a tank. Hightly resistant, and just specifically made for taking blasts and hits, this armour is difficult to dent. The only real problem with it is the fact that it slows down his flying speed. On the ground the armour doesn't slow him down.

Crush/vice grip.
- On both hands and feet. Powerful clampdown, that can be used to grip onto something to stop his own flight, or to crush even really tough materials.

Grip claws.
- Add to the grip on both feet and hands. Can be used to grip, or as a weapon. Claws on hands retractable.

Sickle claws.
- On one of the "toes" on both of his feet, the one toe that is very mobile and most often pointed upwards, there is a huge curved blade-like claw. (I'm talkin' Deinonychus claws :D Here, have a very quick sketch of his pretty feet -> ( Rawr )

Partial battlemask.
- Made of two parts that are fastened to the sides of the helm and move up to form a battle mask. Does not cover entire faceplate, leaving optic area and partial lower jaw without protection. Sharp edged, pointed mask that will do damage to whatever collides with it. Bears a slight likeness to the beak if a bird of prey.

Impact absorbing digitgrade legs and wrists.
- Ideal build for landing after dropping self from air. Impact absorbing joints and parts in legs and wrists. Wide grip feet/hands with apart spread toes/fingers even out the weight in impact.

Weapons

Single-barrel automatic incendiary cannon.
- Fastened to his right arm, removable. Fires heat-seistant ceramic bullets that contain a hightly explosive flammable material that ignites on impact. Rather slow firing rate, 100 rounds per minute, but creates immense destruction. Useable in both robot and jet mode.

Drone cruise missiles.
- Located in hollow in left arm, or fastened to the underside of the jet mode wings, and can be fired off in both modes. Have a 500 mile (804 km) range, and a explosion force of 3000 lbs. of TNT. Carries only 2 with him.

Sonic boom.
- Has the ability to produce controlled sonic booms of deafening magnitude that can be heard within a 200-miles radius. Unlike with most earthen jets, these sonic booms actually prove very harmful, as they fry sensitive circuitry. Usable in both jet and robot mode.

Claws.
- Unlike most fliers, Thundercracker is actually heavily armed for close combat, even if he absolutaly hates staying on the ground. Together with his brutal force, the claws on both his feet and hands have proven to be lethal.

Weaknesses

Doubts.
- Thundercracker often has doubts about the rightness of his actions, especially when totally innocent beings are caught in the crossfire. This lowers his effectieveness greatly, and robs him off the only strenght the Decepticons have against the Autobots; being uncaring of the surroundings.

Direct orders.
- You wont see Thundercracker flying into battle without being given a direct order to do so. He is also quite picky with just who he takes orders from, since the only Decepticon he actually fears enough to properly listen to is Megatron.

Size/weight.
- His weight slows him down in straight flight. (It doesn't effect his agility though. He agile in the air, being quite the air acrobat. Just racing isn't his thing.)

Anger.
- When properly pissed, he will just start tearing into things angrily, forgetting all about battle tactics and carefulness. This leaves him as an easy target, if you can actually hit him before he slices/rips your arm off, or crashes right into you.

The name is Thundercracker
