INFO Likes: Mischief, chaos, socializing Strengths: The ability to talk himself out of most situations, and the speed to run from those he can't Dislikes: Rules, Autobots (they keep trying to arrest him), small spaces Weaknesses: Lack of common sense Favorite color: Gold Favor treat: Web candy Favorite genre: Horror Favorite movie: It Favorite book: It Greatest love: Pranks Greatest success: Getting Nashville to date him Greatest fear: Claustrophobia Greatest regret: He regrets nothing Secret(s): Wanted by the Autobots. For what, only he knows Quote(s): "Don't worry, everything will be fine!" (usually yelled over the noise of whatever is chasing him) Style: Convoluted Theme: Have A Nice Day by Bon Jovi Other trivia: -Will prank anyone -Not scared of anything even if he should be (for example, a wroth 40ft Autobot) -By all rights should have died years ago -Uses his neutral status as a safety net

Backstory Overview -Origin Takeback was forged on the Cybertronian colony of Trythar, and spent much of his early life daydreaming about the universe outside of his home planet. He spent his time researching other planets, and eventually became a travel agent to help others reach the destinations he couldn't (or, rather, info dump about them and make them sound nicer than they actually were). When the war arrived on Trythar it didn't take him long to find enemies on a visiting Autobot crew, although he refuses to reveal the details of what exactly he did to make them angry. He jumped at the chance to join the Cabal and travel the universe for himself, and dragged his Amica Endura Chicanery with him. He promptly made friends with the Polyhexian explorer Nashville, who shared his love for causing trouble. While the rest of the crew may regret bringing him along, TB has proven himself useful with his extensive knowledge of the universe. -Friends/family During his time on Trythar TB made more enemies than friends, but did manage to grow close to the local pawn broker, Chicanery. While Chica took his time warming up to him, he eventually became the voice of reason keeping TB from enacting some of his more dangerous ideas. After joining the Cabal TB made immediate friends with Nashville, a mech with the same love of exploration as him. -Enemies/rivals TB has lots of enemies, mostly thanks to his tendency to trick anyone he comes across. While most only dislike him, there are a few who would love to see him arrested or offlined. Most notably, an Autobot crew that has been trying to arrest him for centuries. -Major events TB may love adventure, but his life hasn't been particularly interesting aside from his many pranks. The only notable occasion in his life before joining the Cabal was angering a group of Autobots. Even Chicanery doesn't know what exactly he did, but that doesn't mean he didn't lecture him over it. -Important meetings The Autobots he angered; while no one knows exactly which crew he met originally, the encounter had the unforseen result of nearly every Autobot he met trying to arrest him. The Cabal; the Cabal is the one place he feels at home, offering all the adventure he wants and backup for when he gets in trouble. Also how he met his suitor. -Other things of note Takeback may not always have common sense, but he has an extensive knowledge of the known universe. If the Cabal finds themselves on any charted planet, he can tell them exactly what to expect. He has also been known to predict what uncharted planets may be like by comparing them to planets he's read about. Wartime -Personal life Takeback spends most of his free time reading up on far away places, causing chaos (both accidentally and on purpose), and sharing stories over a cube of high grade. While he spends much of his time with Chicanery or Nashville, it's the times when he's alone that concerns the crew the most. -Job Officially, TB is a travel agent. Unfortunately with the war still raging few bots are interested in traveling, as they either wish to avoid the conflict or are already traveling in the military. Aboard the Cavalcade he is used as a navigator.

Style: Efficient Theme: Tell Your Heart To Beat Again by Danny Gokey Other trivia: -Likes to store random things that may or may not come in handy -Everyone is a little scared of him even if they don't admit it -He tends to put his loyalty more with a specific bot or group of bots rather than any faction as a whole

Backstory Overview -Origin Chakra was forged in the height of Cybertron's Golden Era from a spark field just outside of Kaon. He served as a policemech, mostly working as a guard at the Arena. As a young bot he found the gladiators fascinating, and his favorite assignments were when he could see the matches. As he grew older he grew more cynical and began to see the fault in the system, especially as the Decepticon movement grew more prevalent in Kaon. As the Golden Age waned and revolution loomed ever closer he began to attend Decepticon rallies, questioning the laws he had sworn to uphold. He took to defending young Decepticons who had been arrested on minor or falsified charges, eventually being arrested himself. He was acquitted due to lack of evidence, but was still fired shortly thereafter. He stayed in Kaon, lending aid to gladiators unsympathetic to the Functioning government until he was nearly arrested again. He escaped, thanks to his intimate knowledge of the Area's layout, and left town. He would go on to join the Autobots, with disastrous consequences. -Friends/family During his time with the Autobots, he allowed himself to grow close to his Elite Guard squad, especially his commander, Standup. After this squad is decimated, he cut himself off from the world, taking to studying medical techniques instead. Centuries later he was stationed aboard the Caveat as a medic under the command of their CMO Neurosis. He kept them at arms length, despite their best efforts to get close to him. He eventually lost his patience with them constantly asking about his past, offering comfort, and trying to befriend him and went awol. He was soon picked up by a Decepticon crew calling themselves the Cabal, and he decided to stay mostly because they had no medic. He avoided associating with them outside of professional matters, but they eventually wore through his defenses. The young mute warrior Boomerang was able to forge the strongest bond with him, as he felt a connection to him he hadn't since his old team. -Enemies/rivals While Chakra doesn't view the sides the same as others do because of his close connections to the Decepticons prewar, but he does hold a deep grudge against whatever team it was that devastated his old team. -Major events The battle that ripped Chakra's former team from him was long and brutal, and he witnessed the death of each of his crew mates one at a time, unable to do anything to help them. In the end he was left alone with a mortally wounded Standup, trapped in a cave. He had no medical training aside from some basic first aid, and was unable to save his commander's life. Rescue teams arrived far too late to help. This battle inspired him to train to become a medic, and the memories prevent him from effectively serving on the front lines. -Important meetings -The Autobot soldier who delivered the news of war; he never learned his name. -Standup; he was his first field commander and the first mech he fully trusted. He never fully recovered from his loss. -The Caveat crew; while he may not have been close to them they still made an impact on his life (mostly in the shape of being the unwitting final straw in his decision to leave the Autobots). -The Cabal; they were the ones who finally taught him to open up again, and while he finds their antics incredibly annoying at best he also wouldn't leave them. -Other things of note Chakra was never fully loyal to the Autobot cause. The Decepticons were the ones who first showed him Functionism was helping no one, and the early rhetoric of the faction would be a major influence on his decisions for the rest of his functioning. While he would always wear the Autobot insignia, he was always a Decepticon at spark. Prewar -Personal life Chakra had few true friends prewar, although he was friendly with many gladiators and his coworkers. He spent most of his off time watching the fights in the Arena or better drunk in one of Kaon's many taverns. After the rise of the Decepticon movement piqued his interest, he spent his free time investigating

corruption in the local government branches or attending rallies in secret. -Job Chakra served as a police officer for most of his life before the war, often assigned to guard the Arena. When he was younger he preferred to work long hours and keep himself busy, but as he grew older he stopped volunteering for extra duty to make time for his personal interest in the Decepticon rebels. -Politics Chakra realized early on things were not as "golden" as the Golden Age might seem, but didn't realize just how until he stumbled across a Decepticon rally in a half drunk stupor. Their words sobered him (both literally and figuratively) to the reality of what Functionism was, and he spent the rest of his life prewar investigating its faults. Wartime -Choosing sides Not long after he left Kaon, news of the war reached him via a lone Autobot soldier. The young mech's exaggerated version of the events convinced him to join their side, and he soon found himself in the Elite Guard. He was less loyal to the faction than to his crew, and still harboured some sympathy for Decepticon rhetoric. -Personal life Chakra quickly grew close to his Elite Guard battalion, especially his commander, Standup. He spent much of his free time hanging out with them, often getting drunk and sharing wild stories, or spending quiet time alone with Standup. After their loss he devoted all his time to medical studies, refusing to let anyone else grow close to him. While with the Cabal he started spending time with his crew again, usually in the form of sitting in the corner with Boomerang and watching the rest of the crew mess around. -Job Chakra started the war as a soldier, as well trained and deadly as the Autobots had to offer. He later exchanged this life for that of a medic, and never returned to the battlefield as an active participant.
