Flintlock: Difference between revisions
Oh for goodness sake, that's part of his bloody personality. Can we stop adding things from profiles and bios to "fiction" when they can be perfectly sensibly integrated into article openings? |

- Flintlock is a Nebulan "double" Targetmaster partnered with Silencer and the Autobot Landfill
Flintlock was born in the wrong century on Nebulos. What could be worse for a young man-of-action than an era of peaceful enlightenment? Flintlock became a chronic rebel, backing causes described as anti-social, anti-government, and just plain rude. Joining the Autobots gave Flintlock an outlet that constructively channeled his aggression. Thus a troubled youth transformed into one of the Autobots' most disciplined soldiers.
Flintlock turns into a heat-seeking stress pistol which can induces metal fatigue severe enough to fracture steel. As a "double" Targetmaster, Flintlock is able to combine with Silencer to increase the power of his own weapon, or boost the power of Silencer's proton rifle.
Flintlock and Silencer try to force the slovenly Landfill to clean regularly, but they avoid him when he forgets, which can leave them all vulnerable in the event of a surprise attack.
