Gunrunner (Earth-7045)

If there was ever an Autobot suffering from untreated post-traumatic stress disorder, Gunrunner is it. Acting as a squadron leader during a major firefight with the Decepticons, Gunrunner mistakenly assured his comrades and subordinates that he'd get them all out alive. Instead, none survived except him, and he only made it out due to his Pretender armor. Because of this, Gunrunner is a seriously changed bot—he experiences tremendous stress and insecurity if forced into combat outside of the safety of his shell, and refuses any long-term command position for fear of losing another group of close friends on the battlefield. Instead, he keeps squadrons assigned under him at arm's length, refusing to tell them "Everything'll be all right", because he can no longer be sure it will be.

Weaknesses

 * Gunrunner's PTSD, compounded by his newly found reluctance to fight outside of his Pretender shell, lowers his effectiveness and can even endanger his troops.

Equipment

 * Holomatter Projector: holomatter is a solid-light projection technology, used by Transformers operating on alien worlds. Holomatter projectors can create projected facsimiles of native species which are too small or fleshy for Transformers to mimic with their mechanical altmodes. The avatar isn't just a friendly image to fool human beings; it's also the Transformer equivalent of a remotely operated vehicle, allowing Transformers to go places and perform actions that would otherwise be prevented by their size and the need to camouflage their true identities. Having an avatar in a location is like the Transformer being there himself. An avatar can function up to at least 400 miles away from the controlling Transformer, even when separated by solid walls.


 * Pretender Shell: As an Pretender Vehicle, Gunrunner's shell is specifically designed to generate a vehicle that is able to be driven by a Cybertronian. The vehicle comes equipped with a targeting system with an accuracy of up to 60 miles, two armor-piercing missiles, and thermal generators that can burn through rock.

Transportation

 * Jet alternate mode
 * Pretender Vehicle shell alternate mode
 * GroundBridge: A scaled-down iteration of space bridge technology, a GroundBridge allows transport to coordinates on a single planet, or even (with great difficulty) into the planet's orbit. Considerably easier to maintain and less costly in energon to operate, it is the primary means of coordinating Transformer forces on planets.

Weapons

 * Plasma machine gun


 * Jet mode guns & missiles


 * Pretender Vehicle shell weapons
