Nitro (Earth-7045)

''This article is for the adaptation of the Decepticon Nitro Zeus. For the human supervillain, see Robert Hunter.''

Nitro comes across as little more than a loudmouthed, trash-talking, strutting, self-aggrandizing jerk. He is all of those things, but unfortunately for his enemies, he's got the strength and skill to back up his ego. Though his manner makes his seem like a rowdy brawler, Nitro is actually more the stalk-and-destroy type. He is a powerful, merciless hunter, using his vast arsenal and formidable tracking skills to locate and capture whatever targets Shockwave demands.

Even off the battlefield, Nitro makes it his business to know everything he can about where you live and who you associate with, just in case. Fortunately, he's is such a braggart that he'll share all his intel before he gets a chance to use it.

Weaknesses

 * Is not as effective as he believes he is.

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.

Transportation

 * Fighter jet 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

 * Missiles
 * Arm-mounted cannon

Trivia

 * Nitro Zeus's name change to just Nitro is not just because of the controversial nature of being named after the code-name for a shelved cyberattack plan against Iran, but also because Zeus is the name of a Greek god, not suited for an alien robot.
