HOT SHOT
Nicknames: None (yet~)
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Faction: Autobots (Team Athenia)
Occupation: Pyrotechnician
Residence: Detroit (wherever Team Athenia is taking up residence)
GENERAL INFO
Weapons: Wrist-mounted welding torches that double as flamethrowers
Holoform: Quicksilver (X-Men: Age of Apocalypse)
Personality: If you were to look up the word 'impulsive' in the dictionary, you would find Hot Shot's picture right next to it. Hot Shot has a bad habit of jumping into sticky situations, and Team Athenia has yet to encounter a situation he wouldn't throw himself into. Hot Shot loves a good challenge, and sometimes it lands both himself and his teammates in Red Alert's repair bay.. sometimes leading to Red Alert having to repair herself as well. It doesn't even have to be a reckless battle or anything because Hot Shot has a bad habit of accidentally melting parts of himself and his teammates with his own torches. In fact, Red Alert herself has noted that more than half her time doing repairs is just spent on fixing Hot Shot up. It drives her insane, but Hot Shot almost sees it as a challenge to try and get her to smile. It's something he hasn't succeeded at yet, but he's gonna keep trying until he eventually pulls it off.
When he's forced to do his job, Hot Shot struggles with paying attention during team briefings. He's more often than not letting his processor wander and he's caught red handed not paying attention. He can't help it that meetings are so boring! Hot Shot just wants to get out there and do what he does best. That isn't to say he entirely thinks about himself, however. Hot Shot is impressed by his teammates accomplishments, and Rodimus himself feels that if Hot Shot applied himself properly he could actually make a good leader one day. Hot Shot would have to disagree on that however, but he still has plenty of time to grow. For now he's all about showboating and smelting the Decepticons.
...and his team apparently. Whoops.
Likes: Team Athenia, showing off, fire, melting things, challenges, racing, trying to make Red Alert smile
Dislikes: Accidentally melting his own teammates and himself, Decepticons, meetings, being idle for too long, how serious Red Alert is
PERSONAL INFO
Family: None
Mate: None
History: Hot Shot is a young mech around Bumblebee's age when he was created. He was tossed into the academy and was given the name Hot Shot due to his flamethrowers and his insistent need to show off. Over time he assigned to Team Athenia led by Rodimus Prime as the team's pyrotechnician. At first he found the job incredibly boring being stuck out there on space bridge repairs, but he learned over time to make his own fun.. and he made it everyone else's problem. Especially Red Alert's. At first he didn't get along with his team but during their time together Hot Shot grew closer to them. It was hard not to grow close to the team you kept accidentally melting, but he did prove himself quite useful when it came to combat whether it was a stray Rock Lord or the Decepticons.
But everything changed when Team Charr attacked.
As the Decepticons lead by Strika attacked the space bridge they were in charge of, Hot Shot did his best to fight against them only to be struck down by Strika's attacks damaging his leg badly. Hot Shot called for Red Alert, and while she said he'd get a replacement leg in six to eight solar cycles, he joked asking for a second opinion which he didn't get as the rest of his team was struck down by the other Decepticons. He was forced to watch as Spittor snatched the femme and incapacitated her, but also as Oil Slick infected Rodimus with cosmic rust. Had it not been for Sentinel Prime and his ship, Team Athenia would have been stranded and without a leader. The group was taken back to Cybertron where medics were able to cure Rodimus and replace Hot Shot's destroyed leg. He stayed on Cybertron with the rest of his team while the battle against Megatron took place on Earth, enjoying the parade that Sentinel had put on for a few of the captured Decepticons when he returned to Cybertron once more. It didn't take long for Hot Shot to grow bored with nothing to do, but after Optimus Prime and his team returned with the captured Megatron things slowly started to get more exciting again.
It didn't take long for Megatron to escape and flee back to Earth, and Team Athenia was given the order to go with Team Prime to re-capture the Decepticon warlord. Now Hot Shot has a whole organic planet he needs to adjust to, but also a planet to try not to burn on accident. Try being the key word.
