Profile:
Talon
is the new form of the Decepticon Micromaster Whisper. Taken from the
ruins of
Autobot City, Whisper's body was rebuilt into a full-size
Transformer then mind-wiped before undergoing the Headmaster process.
However,
the wipe was not complete and some of his original personality remained
inside
the bodyshell. Matthew
Kirkby was a thief and industrial spy working at Blackrock Enterprises
for a
businessman named Stone. After the Decepticons invaded
Earth, Kirkby was placed in charge of
Project:: Excalibur—the
humans efforts at building Headmasters to drive off the
Decepticons. Following an attack of conscience, Kirkby underwent the
binary
bonding process and bonded with Whisper. Fleeing the research facility
before
it was destroyed, Talon was found by Decepticons who offered him the
chance to
join their ranks. Following the failure of Excalibur, Kirkby had no
reason not
to. Talon is
sometimes literally torn between two minds as his two selves often
conflict. He
is the personal protégé of Face, a mysterious Decepticon.
Abilities: Despite his Micromaster origins, Talon is
now average size, and intelligent, though not overly strong or armored.
As a
robot, he wields a laser sword which he carries in a sheath in his
right leg;
he also carries rocket launchers mounted on
his arms, each of which fires mercury tipped missiles.
As a former SR-71 Blackbird
jet fighter, Talon flies at Mach 5 and can maneuver through any
atmosphere or
even in vacuum. He is armed with wing-mounted mercury rockets and a
laser
cannon set behind his cockpit. Strength: 5 Speed: 10 Endurance: 6 Rank: 6 Courage: 8 Skill: 7 Intelligence: 7 Firepower: 6 |
