Name: swoop

Gender: female

Personality type: good natured, friendly, kind, prone to tangents where she utilizes complicated technical terms to describe things

Faction: autobot

Subgroup: dinobot

Function: aerial combat specialist, bombardier, technological specialist

Weapons: underslung wing mounted single fire twin missile batteries, thermal arming sword, thermal spiked flail, retractable combat claws

Bio: originally serving as the dinobots' air combat specialist, while also providing support to her ground bases allies via targeted bombardment of ground targets. Following her team's escape from shockwave's lab, and the experimentation the amoral decepticon scientist had performed on them, swoop found herself fulfilling a role better described as part technological support and part older sister to most of her team. This is a peculiar situation when, of the original five members of the lightning strike coalition team, swoop was the youngest of the five. Swoop has a tendency to go on tangents, with a related predilection towards using complicated and advanced technical terms to describe things, however while the complicated terms may fly over the heads of the other dinobots' they still listen quite happily to her tangents with good cheer and a fond smile. Even if the complicated terms swoop uses leaves the rest of the team utterly confused on what she's talking about, they'll still happily listen to their sister as she goes on a long winded and complicated explanation that may or may not actually relate to the current situation or environment.
