SUNSTREAKER
ALINEACIÓN: AUTOBOT
FUNCIÓN: WARRIOR
PRIMERA APARICIÓN: TRANSFORMERS N.°1
"They can't beat the best."
Personalidad:
Sunstreaker is the complete egotist. He feels he is
simply the most beautiful thing on Earth. He is
constantly discussing his sleek lines, his aerodynamic
styling and he is loudly and continually grateful to the
Ark for giving him such a magnificent body. Sunstreaker
is faintly contemptuous of the other sports-car Autobots,
particularly his fraternal twin
Sideswipe,
whose design, he says, is spoiled
by the rear-mounted engine in his automobile mode. When
he is in his robot mode, Sunstreaker is the most
dangerous, most ruthless of the group; a calm, competent
war machine. His biggest fault is his tendency to stop so
that people can admire him when he ought to be tending to
business.
Habilidades:
In Autobot mode, Sunstreaker wears a right
shoulder-mounted, laser-guided, ground-to-air missile
launcher. Each missile is the equivalent of 450 lbs. of
TNT and can down a Decepticon jet fighter at a maximum
distance of 37.5 miles. He also carries an electron-pulse
gun capable of emitting at 300 bursts per second a beam
of highly energized electrons (the high rate of emission
makes it effectively a continuous stream of electrons). A
sustained burst of 1.5 seconds will burn a 3 inch hole in
a .5 inch-thick plate of titanium-alloy steel. His upper
torso construction incorporates a tough polymer-steel
skin, making him particularly resistant to artillery
fire.
Debilidades:
A potent arsenal and tough hide like Sunstreaker's would
be sufficient to preclude any serious weaknesses, if it
weren't for his ego and sociopathic tendencies. His
inability to be a team player and overriding lust for
battle often diminish his overall value to the Autobots,
and the ease with which he can be baited by anyone,
including adversaries, often puts his well-being in
serious jeopardy.
