Description Alright, since its been a long while since I did another Transformers OC on this, so I decided to fix that since I thought of a few OCs during 2022. Also, this bot's a reinvention of an old OC I made almost a decade, so I decided to give him a new look and updated profile. So, here we go.

Name: Roadkill of Delta
Species: Velocitronian
Gender: Male (He/Him)
Home Planet: Velocitron/Speedia
Faction: Mercenaries
Alternate mode: 1970 Plymouth Superbird (formerly a Velocitronian racecar)
Function: Bounty Hunter (formerly Racer)
Motto: "First one to the bounty's a rotten energon cube!"
Bio:
Prior to becoming a well known member of the Mercenaries, Roadkill used to be one of the Speedia 500's top racers before he was caught in a crash during one of its races. Although he was able to recover thanks to the credits he built up due to his numerous victors, his timing was unfortunately poor because news of the Great War would inevitably reach Velocitron with many of its denizens responding to the call to arms. While some join the Autobots and others join the Decepticons, Roadkill decided to remain neutral and planned to become a mercenary, planning to build enough currency to help rebuilding Velocitron once the war has concluded. During that time, he would build up a small crew which includes Knuckleduster (a Deseeus Army Drone he salvaged and upgraded to act as his bodyguard, muscle, and training unit), Small-Byte (a speedy, smart-aft of a fembot with a turbofox alt-mode), and Wingover (a patriotic Vehicon General who leads Roadkill's group of reprogrammed Vehicons).
Weapons/Abilities:
Subject is a skilled racer turned mercenary. Roadkill is equipped with his twin barreled engine blaster, which he kept from his Velocitronian form. Due to being a former Speedia 500 racer, he picked a Plymouth Superbird as his new alternate mode of choice to help him get his bounties faster.
Weaknesses:
Due to being a former racer, subject sees his current profession as a competition possible, wanting to be the first to get bounties or contracts done as elegantly as possible.

Trivia:
-Prior to his current characterization, I originally imagined Roadkill as a Decepticon bounty hunter hailing from Velocitron (who debuted in Transformers: Cybertron/Galaxy Force). But I decided to make a member of the Mercenaries, a faction made of mercenaries (how creative) that debuted in the War for Cybertron Trilogy; albeit with the Velocitronian bounty hunter schtick still intact.
-Roadkill's color scheme and design cues are based on the Dragonzord from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (Dragon Caesar from Zyuranger for any Super Sentai fans out there). He's also not the only Transformer who's colored after a zord though. There's Clear Out, an obscure Autobot who's color scheme is based on the Red Dragon Thunderzord. More info on him will linked here: tfwiki.net/wiki/Clear_Out
-In his Velocitronian form, Roadkill shares the same body-type Cybetron Override. Or more accurately, he's a virtual retool of Legacy Override.
