"Nothing lasts forever... so why not destroy it now?"
Personalidad:
Reason has never been known to slow the raging onslaughts
of this destructive berserker. Quake attacks everyone and
everything with a vengeance. Only persistent cries from
his fellow Decepticons of "point your guns the other
way" and "the Autobots are over there, you
idiot" prevent him from blasting those on his own
side. Otherwise, he doesn't stop shooting until
everything around him lies in ruins or he runs out of
ammo, whichever comes first. Quake gives Megatron
sufficient reason to question one
of his most cherished theories of military strategy:
"I'd rather have a fool who shoots than ten trained
warriors who hold their fire." As Megatron has
learned, when that fool is Quake, the gun can be pointing
at you.
Quake is teamed with two Nebulans, Tiptop and Heater. Tiptop
worked as a strongman in the Traveling Three-Sphere
Circus of Nebulos. He lost his job after the careless use
of his strength caused injuries to several of his fellow
performers. Embittered, he signed up with the
Nebulan-based Decepticons to seek revenge against his
former employer.
Heater was a smart-aleck street punk who spent most of his time
hustling contraband pleasure pods in the back alleys of
some of Nebulos's largest cities. When law enforcement
officers began to close in on him, he underwent the same
bio-engineering procedure as Tiptop and, like him, became
binary-bonded to Quake.
Habilidades:
In tank mode, Quake is capable of leveling an entire
Class 5 Autobot defensive installation in minutes. He has
a maximum speed of 75 miles per hour and a range of 250
miles. His titanium-alloy treads are coated with a
special adhesive that enables him to climb up sheer cliff
surfaces. He is equipped with a powerful plasma cannon
which has a range of 40 miles. Tiptop transforms into a
gyroscopic destabilizer, which destroys the balance of
any target it hits. Heater transforms into a double
photon pistol. In either tank or robot mode, Quake can
use the two Nebulans in their weapons modes either
singly, together or combined into one weapon.
Debilidades:
Quake has a poorly designed cooling system. When
attempting especially rigorous climbs, particularly up
vertical walls, he often overheats and shuts down.
Lacking common sense, in these situations he often pushes
on anyway, which usually results in the meltdown of his
transmission and fuel line systems.
