ALLEGIANCE: Autobot
FUNCTION: Infiltration/Espionage

"Success or failure come from where you least expect it."

While most Autobots strive for the biggest, toughest, most impressive-looking alt-modes, Mouse is not only content with the battered little two-door he turns into, he is proud to the point of boasting at times. Of course, when your job is being as unnoticeable as possible for as long as possible, being small is a bonus. Still, some fear he takes his job to heart a little TOO much, even going so far as to neglect matters of personal hygiene and to leave each dent, paint scratch, and streak of dirt in place in a self-proclaimed bid to seem as much like a "common Earth car" as possible. Of course, while this may have been the initial reason for his weirdly reversed sense of "slob pride," over time it's turned into simple laziness. Most of his commanders and fellow Autobots are willing to overlook this since this lack of motivation only extends to his appearance and not his duties, but they still feel the urge to duck through a car wash after working alongside him.

ABILITIES: In vehicle mode, Mouse is one of the (if not THE) most fuel efficient Autobots on Earth, able to last for weeks on a single refill. His top landspeed is a modest 200mph, but his agility more than makes up for this. In robot mode, he retains these attributes, allowing him to literally squeeze himself into places where even a human would feel cramped. His primary weapon is his rail crossbow, which uses a low-power gravity pulse to allow him to launch pretty much anything he can fit into it, from his grappling hook and line to various pieces of garbage and debris, at lethal velocities. He carries the trunk section of his car mode on his back (earning him the nickname "The Hatchback of Notre Dame") and stores any number of objects, from vital mission equipment to "ammo," in it, seemingly with no regard to the Laws of Conservation of Mass.

WEAKNESSES: Mouse's tendency to overlook or outright ignore his regular maintenance schedules will often result in him suffering from breakdowns or malfunctions that would normally be prevented or at least lessened otherwise had they been detected earlier. Also, he tends to wait until the last possible moment to refuel, which can sometimes have disastrous results if unexpected delays or duties crop up.

(Yeah, so...I TF-morphed my car, a '91 Eagle Summit hatchback. I tried to make his robot mode have a little of a WWII/"Stalag 17" look to it, but the rail crossbow kinda spoils that, huh?
I haven't tried to draw a TF since before my son was born, so it's not all THAT good, but I figure I may as well try something different for a change.))
