Skids

No matter where is he physically, Skids' thoughts are usually elsewhere. He is a consummate daydreamer whose prodigious intellect is always assimilating and analyzing new information. But Skids is no narrow-minded data-cruncher, he combines a scientists curiosity and logic with an artist's imagination as one of the most sensitive and introspective Transformers. His unique way of questioning the world around him has led Skids to many invaluable discoveries, both before and after the start of the Autobot/Decepticon war. Skids wishes he could blot out all knowledge of the dreadful conflict, and many Autobots believe that he often does, based on his absent-minded behavior. He often finds himself bumping into things while driving due to his daydreaming. Skids would much rather be travelling Cybertron and other worlds, like Earth, to learn about their culture than formulating theories about the latest Decepticon attack. For now, Skids is stuck in his role as part of the Autobot army, but his mind is always wandering, pondering why things are and why the fighting continues.Skids is incredibly intelligent. He has an enormous memory absorption and storage capacity; he can record information almost instantaneously, scanning whole libraries in a few dozen breems. His specialties are anthropology and sociology in addition to general scientific research. Skids has an amazing knack for coming to accurate conclusions based on shreds of tactical data. In vehicle mode, his specially designed brakes can stop him completely within 25 feet when travelling at 50 mph. In robot mode, he carries a liquid nitrogen rifle with a 600-foot range, a 20,000-volt twin electron blaster, and a rocket launcher.Skids' tendency to daydream leaves him open to everything from accidents to enemy attacks. His frequent abrupt stops have a detrimental effect on his mechanical well-being. He is easily distracted by his curiosity. Physically, he has below average strength as a robot and below-average speed as a vehicle. whateverlife.com
