Since Big Convoy never did a post on this(Which I asked), and now we have a Transmetal Waspinator of all things, I did a quick profile up for him.

Name: Waspinator
Allegiance: Predacon
Function: Aerial Attack
Alt. Mode: Wasp (Technically the asian giant hornet)
Height: 8 ft

Weapons:
Optic lasers(Robot mode only)
Toxic Stinger:His beast mode stinger, fires rapid cyber venom blasts. Can double as a arm blade weapon for slashes and injecting stabs.
Twin plasma cannons(Vehicle mode only)
Abilities:
Immortality(Comic relief):Forsaken by the writers and his own sense of luck, Waspinator is prone to suffering as if the universe itself was out to get him. His only redeeming factor to this is his incredible survivability and ability to put himself back together or somehow manage to drag himself back to a CR tank for repairs.
Transmetal features: Fighter jet mode: Gifted with a improved method of flight, Waspinator can terrorize the skies at high speeds for dogfighting or raining destruction on enemies bellow from twin rapid firing plasma cannons(Wasp antenna), with use of afterburners can reach mach speeds for short periods.

Alrighty, updated Aerostriker's profile with profile image. Added stats for Stag just incase and updated his gun capabilities. Added the alterations from effects of being damaged by Nemesis: removed leg missiles and flare grenades,Replaced with Chest missiles. Removed some of jet parts, Ramjets, and vtol capabilities from transmetal mode, replaced with a bunch of rockets in the wings. Added optional equipment of external fuel tanks, and Sheildgun. Installed RCS for improved mobility.

Aerostriker's got an awesome paint job! ...As the saying goes.

[NaitoKage]

And why should Waspinator,Terrorsaur, and Airazor be the only canons with profiles? If the owner of these characters want some things changed, just say so.

[NaitoKage]

Name: Rattrap
Current player: Optimal Optimus Primal
Allegiance: Maximal
Function: Spy, Demolition, Espionage
Beast Mode: TransMetal rat
Vehicle Mode: Dragster
Height: 5' 11"
Quote: "We're all gonna die."

Strength: 5
Intelligence: 7
Speed: 8
Endurance: 5
Rank: Capable of being Second-in-Command
Courage: 6
Firepower: 7
Skill: 8

PERSONALITY:
Rattrap is incredibly sarcastic, witty, rude, and sometimes even cocky. He has a crude sense of humor and isn't afraid to talk back at Optimus to express his opinions (which often challenge Primal's orders) and concerns. Despite all of that and his negative attitude on their survival, his loyalty to the Maximals is unquestionable. He may hide his true emotions most of the time, but deep down he does care about his friends and will even put his life on the line against his better judgement and instincts to help them out of a sticky situation. Although Rattrap's skills are extremely valuable and beneficial to the Maximals for infiltration, spying and blowing things -and Predacons- up, he's probably the least courageous crew member on their team. He often whines and complains about missions that he sees as unreasonable or impossible to accomplish, but when he puts his mind to it, he can surprise almost anyone, including himself, with just how capable he is of getting the job done.

WEAPONS:
Fusion Rifle: High powered rifle with a semi automatic fire for precision and five shot burst mode.

Battle-whip blade: Rattrap's tail weapon, a strange whip like device capable of becoming rigid and extending allowing it to be used for countless improvised weapons or items from spears,swords, fishing rods, grappling hooks,or pole vaulting.

Demo-charges/Fusion Grenades: Timed explosives capable of adhering to almost any surface.

Hubcap shield: Used from the wheels of his vehicle mode, transmetal plated hubcaps act like a light shield or buckler to deflect light firepower or melee attacks.

ABILITIES:
Rogue: Skilled in the arts of sneaking, thievery, lock picking, and intel gathering.

Demolition: Skilled in understanding how to handle explosives and weak points in structural loads for maximum damage on a structure or robot.

TransMetal feature: High speed dragster mode allows Rattrap to travel as swift as possible across land.

[Blackrosefencer]

Thanks, NK!

Sorry for not posting a profile for Inferno myself, but I thought you were just looking for profiles of the ones who were going transmetal that hadn't done so in the show like Terrorsaur and Waspinator. I didn't realize you wanted ALL cannons to have a profile.

Anyway, Inferno looks good to me. Good job!

[NaitoKage]

Originally I didn't, but I decided it might make it easier for some people if they have an idea what their characters can do. Or if they want to compare their characters to say Canon characters? Just have a few more left, though oddly the hardest to balance out is Rhinox.. and I'll probably just use specs similar to what Alak did with Megatron and Optimus. Anyway, as stated before, if there are any complaints, just say so you guys. I'll probably post a few more tonight if I have time.
