Cannonball V (Earth-7045)


 * This article refers to the Decepticon turned space pirate captain. For the mutant supehero, see Samuel Guthrie.

Leader of a gang of interstellar pirates known as the Star Seekers and captain of the Sea Slag, the dread pirate they call Cannonball is an ex-Decepticon whose former group is happy to let his crew roam free, provided they leave them alone and focus their attentions more on the Autobots. Cannonball is all too happy to do so. When he and his 'Seekers aren't looting and pillaging, they're either plundering ancient tombs for long-forgotten treasures or causing trouble in some seedy port in intergalactic civilizations, using their ill-gotten gains to purchase black-market energon or just increase their rep.

Cannonball features bright green Oingo Boingo-style (for some reason) skeletons.

Though Cannonball has been terrorizing spacelanes for millions of years, it has not been this Cannonball... he is in fact the fifth space pirate to use that name and legacy. One day he will train a replacement to take his name, and that pirate will take on the legacy with a whole new crew. Until that day, though, Cannonball plans to live it up!

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

 * SUV 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

 * '''Shoulder'mounted cannons'
