Silica

Allegiance: Autobot

Sub-Group: Female Autobot

Function: Warrior

"A little love goes a long way."

Profile: While she was a commended warrior in the Female Autobot army in her early years, Silica gave up fighting when she married Artemis. The marriage quelled the majority of her love for war and fighting, and she tries to stop her son, Wheelie, from becoming a fighter too. She is fiercly protective of her family, which she considers the most important thing in her life, though as the only member of the family who is actually trained as a warrior, she often finds herself fretting that she isn't enough to protect her family from threats. Silica has a keen mind, and a kindly, loving demeanour, but is a tad on the pessimistic side, and feels the need to share her morbid thoughts - except, of course,with Wheelie, who she wouldn't want to scare.

Abilities: Silica transforms into a Cybertronian hover car, which can attain speeds of 110 mph. Her range is 2,600 miles. In robot mode, she is armed with a disruptor blaster, which can scramble the electric synapses of Transformers for short periods of time, rendering them inoperative. Also in robot mode, the protrusions on her elbows can be rotated around at her mental command, taking the place of her hands and serving as blade weapons. Her armour is resistant to magentic attacks, and she is well-versed in hand-to-hand combat.

Weaknesses:Aside from concern over her family to the point of distraction, and fear that she may be unable to protect them, a direct hit to Silica's stomach (her unprotected vehicle mode cockpit) can rupture data flow to her central processing unit, rendering her practically non-functional.
