Lodestone

"You're grounded."

LODESTONE joined the Autobots as a Research & Development specialist, preferring to contribute to the war in a non-combative capacity. However, tragedies from his past have instilled in him an almost unparalleled desire to see the Decepticons defeated. Although he tries to keep a stoic and pleasant demeanor, he is largely ruled by his emotions and carries his past like a constant, heavy burden. He's still a talented engineer, but he devotes most of his efforts to finding ways to level the playing field. He transforms into an M60 Patton tank that fires a variety of specialized rounds that adhere to his target. These shells cause a variety of effects, including disrupting various systems. He also fires shells that deploy a cloud of super-massive pellets that quickly weigh down whatever they attach to. Coupled with advanced targeting systems, this makes him particularly effective at engaging airborne targets and bringing them within reach of other Autobots, as well as the massive hammer he always carries. The bulldozer kit attached to the front end of his tank mode becomes a makeshift shield in robot mode.
