Beta Maxx

Profile: Preferring solitude to the company of most Autobots, Beta Maxx often finds that only in isolation can he truly focus on the pursuit of knowledge. Always seeking a deeper understanding of how and why Cybertronian life came into existence, he is the keeper of a secret codex used to translate ancient Cybertronian text. Able to interface freely with Vector Sigma and most archaic computer systems, Beta Maxx can gain access to their data banks and store an unfathomable amount of information in his memory processors, making him a valuable resource to his guardian, Alpha Trion. It is unknown as to how long they have been working together or to the greater mystery of who built him, presumably from technology developed during the Golden Age of Cybertron. He is an enigma to the few Autobots that have seen him, with many others believing he is nothing more than a folk tale. To the Decepticon known as Shockwave, Beta Maxx is more than just a rumor. He is the key to unlocking the origin of Primus and Unicron!

Abilities: Beta Maxx's creator knew that his data files would one day be sought by those who would use them to disrupt civilization. To protect him from any threat, Beta Maxx¡Ç alt mode was engineered to serve a double purpose. Not only can he act as a key to Vector Sigma, he is also able to out run and out maneuver most any pursuer in even the tightest quarters with
remarkable bursts of speed. His alt mode brandishes a grenade pulse cannon that can quickly and effectively neutralize hostiles. If aimed appropriately it would leave any bot dismembered. His side cannon deploys a high intensity beam which can interface with and disrupt logic circuits by overloading them with massive amounts of compacted data.

Weaknesses: Often times, after having downloaded large amounts of data, Beta Maxx will speak in ancient Cybertronian when trying to relay the information to his fellow Autobots. This can leave him defenseless if he were to be engaged. The methods used to construct him, ancient in nature, are a hinderence in the modern era as if he is in need of an upgrade he can be left in a state of disrepair for quite sometime until appropriate spare parts are found or manufactured. Beta Maxx¡Çs greatest asset is his knowledge, however, if not maintained properly it could also lead to his demise.
