Tonka (SG)

Motto: "Size isn't everything"

Character Note: TONKA was created as part of an experiment in search of the ultimate saboteur by Alpha Trion. Created using Optimus Prime’s blueprints as a guide, he resembles the Autobot leader in appearance, but is only 8 inches tall in robot mode. With this small size, he can squeeze into places even the smallest minibot could never hope to go, attacking equipment at the circuit level. If a mission requires it, he will carry a powerful explosive in his trailer. Equipped with data jacks, micro-scalpels, and precison micro-explosives, he is capable of performing a variety of sabotage ranging from network intrusions to out and out destruction from the inside, including sabotaging other Transformers. In addition to sabotage, he is also very capable of recon, gathering information often unobtainable by other means. Although his small size makes him fragile and vulnerable to destruction should he ever be discovered, he does not show it. His personality is bright, cheery, and full of spunk. He’s especially drawn to humans, particularly because they are a little more on his size scale than his fellow Transformers. In addition to his destructive abilities, he is also programmed with a variety of micro-surgical techniques for assisting in repairs. He transforms into a radio control tractor trailer for mobility, in addition to a small jetpack in robot mode for extra mobility.

Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:
Tonka was brought online shortly after the beginning of the Third Cybertronian War by Alpha Trion. The goal of his experiment was to create a soldier that would be the ultimate saboteur: An Autobot of such small size that he could literally go anywhere, enter anything, and destroy it from within. Unfortunately for Tonka, the project required such immense resources that it was cancelled after his creation due to the need for resources to be diverted to the war effort. As a result he is unique among the Autobots. This fact has never slowed him down, however, and he is a spunky and energetic addition to the team. By the time of the Ark mission, Tonka had several high profile missions under his belt, and he was assigned to the Ark to also offer a secondary role as a scout.

When he's not out trying to be a pain in the Decepticon's backsides, he's at home being a pain in the Autobot's backsides. Another notable incident involved a fight with paint-filled balloons in the med bay, and like the rest of the participants was put on clean up duty afterwards.

MUX History:
In the Shattered Glass universe, the Ark hasn't left for Earth yet.
