Skill:------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE DETAILSTwister is a shiny black femme with gold trim on the sides. Her receptors are pointy for peak hearing and radar abilities – they act as both. Twister’s body is fairly lean and not too bulky for a helicopter, as she’s one of the smaller ones. Her armor is pretty tough regardless though older armor platings still reveal epically old scars from fights way back when on Cybertron.
Her rotor hub is fixated behind her back in almost the dead center like most rotorcraft Cybertronians. Having a set of four, they fan down against her so they’re not in the way.

Personality:Twister is confident and steadfast, she has an endless amount of energy but usually contains it within. She's also frequently quiet unless she’s around Bots she’s comfortable with. She’s passionate about aiding in battles, and helping others as much as she can. Twister can be mature, quiet, and focused quite a fair bit during serious times. It’s rather hard to get her to snap, but when she does, she goes feral/berserk.
Twister is also rather upfront and assertive when she does have something to say. She tends to be as straight forward with her points as possible, though sometimes depending on the issues at hand, she tends to falter a bit, but most of the time, she will attempt to handle/respond to every situation to the best of her ability. If she finds that something is unimportant or no longer needs to be dealt with this is often seen through her actions or body language. Twister also has a sarcastic streak. As long as one doesn’t start attacking her weaknesses, she’s usually pretty mellow, casual and cheery. Twister is pretty determined and high spirited; it’s usually rare to see her give up on a task on a normal day if you set aside the occasional underlying moodiness. Twister is rarely overly dramatic and emotional except on her really bad days--which is extremely rare unless someone works real hard to push all her off-buttons. Over all, Twister is pretty approachable despite her background.
Strengths:hand to hand combat and close-ranged aerial combat (low level dog fighting and such). Though not a Combaticon of course, her kicks and punches are hard for a femme, particularly her kicks. She knows how to apply that torque and thrust into her moves quite well.
She's reasonably flexible for her size, but not overly so. Endurance/durability is more of a strength for her in that aspect.
As mentioned already, hovering is her other key advantage, but it can also be over used when she’s not careful and this can leave leaving herself vulnerable.
Weaknesses:Her rotors. Unlike fixed wing Cybertronian fliers, her rotors are very sensitive. While she can detach them, when they are still attached to her, she likes to keep them undamaged! She has a bad habit of freaking out and going berserk when one targets her rotors. The key thing about the rotors other than them being sensitive in general is the old scar underneath the lower part of her back at the base of the hub from an old fight with Decepticon rotorcrafts. This scar is covered up by new metal plating, but if that metal gets torn down, her hub is even more sensitive to pain. She rarely lets her guard down long enough to receive this kind of damage though.
And of course, all though calm, sometimes her emotions will get to her as well.
She is also strongest with her symbiote Blackfire near, a mini dracognic Cybertronian flier who has been with her since her Spark was conceived. Twister was generally seen as the Master, but they are essentially the same age and without her, Twister does not feel complete, particularly after the end of a messed up relationship with a double-agent Decepticon named Fenestron. They feel each other's pain and emotions, and they hide no secrets.------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE SKELETONS IN YOUR CLOSET
Family:
Fenestron – ex sparkmate
Maelstrom – father
Taillight – mother
Cyclone – brother – statuses all unknown, and she has no memory of them (explained below)
History: Twister does not cognitively remember all of her own history. As far as she knows, she is just a simple warrior and recon femme who has been loyal to the Decepticons since she was created. The Combaticons were her idols and rivals – she always sought to one up them. She also had a symbiote named Blackfire, who's memory (unlike hers) was mostly intact. She was able to cover a lot of ground effectively in fights and also made excellent recon bots for more risky infiltrations against the Autobots. Twister loved to go into battle and fight for the glory of it, but in actuality the chances she got to do real front line battle were rare. The Combaticons and Stunticons always got their chances to fight and get into the action before she did, and she grew frustrated and reckless with this fact.
To make things worse, a love triangle eventually formed back when she was younger working with the Decpeticons between Vortex, Blackout and herself. Blackout liked Twister, Twister liked Vortex, and Vortex supposedly liked Twister, though it was always hard for her to tell.
Twister does not understand why so many Autobots seem to recognize her in battles, and it confuses her greatly. This is because she had been a dedicated trainee of Ironhide and Prowl's for front line battles as well as a primary rescue/evacuation Bot for when things got rough. But one night when Twister was out alone in a random part of Cybertron, Twister was captured by some of the flying Decepticons, deciding she and Blackfire offered a good advantage. But Blackfire was locked away most of the time, and before many of the key Decepticons moved to Earth, she was put into a temporary stasis which leaved her the task of figuring out how to get out of her holding cell. Blackfire finally escaped and is in need of Energon.------------------------------------------------------------------------------IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?
Weaponry: Upon shifting into an attack mode, Twister has a set of Energon and regular guided missiles along with a gattling gun that emerges from under the sleek nose. She also carries a few Energon bombs with in the back of her fuselage from time to time. In her bot form, she has the missile launchers on her shoulders and the gattling gun is hidden in her right arm with limited bursts.
Her melee weapons of choice, derived from her skids and Energon, is a very strong pole-arm which can be split into a main, much longer pole-arm. The pole-arm's blades are of Energon and glow a golden color. Her additional weapon is a large battle axe.
The pole-arm, when split in two, looks very similar to this (the energy blade is shaped just like the one on the far right, only darker in color. i4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/blackcountach101/Random/polearms-1.jpg
Extra:
+Defense mechanisms and other features: IR scanners, satellite access, smoke screen, signal scrambler, silencer for the main rotor hub and engine vibrations
+Twisters landing gear is retractable AND interchangeable. She can also switch into floats if water operations are ever needed.
+Twister is also carrying masses up to about 3 times her size, though this would obviously require her to fly at low speeds. Carrying things around her size though, are no problem.
+Twister also carries a grappling hook and a normal hook in case she needs to carry external loads (she can carry up to two Autobots depending on their size--she can't carry a vast amount of equipment like Chinooks can, but she CAN carry externally).
Twister’s abilities primarily involve low level aerial combat and hand to hand combat. She is as comfortable on the ground as she is in the air due to the her ability to be agile at low airspeeds at high altitudes or high airspeeds at low altitudes with impressive, rock steady confidence. Twister prefers close ranged-combat and hand to hand combat with or without melee weapons involved-she's always up for a challenge, friend or foe. Twister doesn’t normally deal with heavy artillery. She likes fighting on the ground as much as she does in the air. Of course she is aware she can be out maneuvered but the one thing she has on her side is her melee weapons and her ability to hover, to practically stop on a dime at any altitude with in her performance ceiling as long as the wind conditions meet.
Of course she has no trouble surviving in typical space conditions, but when it comes to a place like Earth, she will learn how to deal with its rather annoying, peculiar weather conditions, and after getting used to it, she finds it quite fun and challenging to fly through adverse weather, though she is initially cautiously about it.

The pole shifted and extended thin energon-layered blades on the top end of it, which glowed a soft glow. Shifting into a neutral stance, she rose up the pole arm a bit to cover herself more fully with them. She was not one to use her rotors as weapons unless everything else was lost/destroyed/etc. The better in shape they were for flying, the greater chance of survival she had for her size. "I'm a bit too small to fight quite like Brawl. On guard." she replied with a smirk, swiping low in a swift swing towards Vortex's nearest knee. She often targeted low against bigger Decepticons, and Vortex was one of them since he had a rather larger alternate mode than she did.
