COMPLICATIONS
Quirk: Technobabble's advanced sensor systems seem to have absorbed too many terraflops of human broadcast signals when he was unconscious abord the Ark. This seems to have fried some of his memory engrams and left him occassionally unaware of what reality he's in. He's still a good scientist and compotent warrior against the evil Decepticons... He just sometimes seems to think they are Klingons or Romulans.
Duty ("Optimus Prime Directive"): Freedom is the right of all sentient beings, outsiders must not interfer with the development of primative civiliations.
Responsibility: Technobabble feels a strong sense of responsibility to use his scientific skills for the benefit of all.

Background:
Technobabble is an Autobot Scientist, who assumed the form of a Earth child's toy. He sometimes forgets he's an Autobot locked in the centuries long war with the evil Decepticons, thinking himself a Starfleet Science Officer on a mission to protect the Federation from Klingons or Romulans... Most of his fellow Autobots have learned to indulge this quirk as it's fairly harmless and doesn't seem to interfere with his duties. Much.
Technobabble has some of the most advanced sensors found on any Autobot, second only to those of his freindly rival Cosmos. He uses his advanced sensory suite, scientific accumen, and technical skill to keep his fellow Autobots on the cutting edge of scientific advancment. Never letting the Decepticons have an edge.
In combat, Technobabble prefers to zip around the battlefield in his toy starship form. His phaser banks (he refuses to call them plasma cannons) lose none of their potency in his smaller size and he becomes devilishly hard for the large Decepticons to hit... Unfortunately, when the do get lucky and land a hit, well, anti-tank cannons and air-to-surface missiles can really do a number on a toy spaceship.
Build Notes:
Gamebook's recent run of 24,601 different
Transformers OC's has inspired me to try my hand at building one of my own. So when I found the picture of a Transformer that turned into the U.S.S.
Enterprise I just had to make it happen. Of course, having him transform into a full-size U.S.S.
Enterprise would have been way to much... But turning into a scale model toy? Perfect!
