Proteus

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Faction: Unaffiliated Species: Transformer Function: INFILTRATOR Rank: N/A

Motto: "One quick strike is all one need -- let them guess at one's true intentions."

Note:  One of the original Cybertronians from during the First Cybertronian War, PROTEUS had been placed in stasis before the Quintesson departure from Cybertron. Once the Quintessons discovered the Cybertronians had invented the art of transformation, he was experimented upon in an attempt to see how far the Quintessons could advance the technology and make it superior. Incorporating similar sensor technology that Teletran-One would later use to reformat the Autobots and Decepticons upon their awakening in 1984, Proteus earned his designation by demonstrating to his Quintesson masters that he could reformat his vehicular altmode at will. An adept infiltrator and reconnaissance expert, Proteus is intelligent and cunning. He is armed with a retractable energo-sword, a shoulder-mounted triple-rocket launcher, and a triple-barrel electro-pulse repeating blaster rifle. Mental impairment from the experimentation have left Proteus suffering a loss of self-identity.
