Customizing class bio

Shawn's bio for the BotCon customizing class Overkill, in case anybody cares. Interrobang 07:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

"Once upon a time, OVERKILL, served the Decepticon cause as a warrior and a spy. While he had a penchant for ranting and raving on the battlefield, and showing off his abilities more than actually using them, he coupld still ba a frighteningly effective warrior. If forced to focus his energies on the task at hand. Occasioanlly, a glitch in his transformation protocols caused him to remain at cassette size in his dinosaur mode. Eventually though, the problem became chronic and then terminal. He was stuck at the size of a rat, and his spark could not even be extracted as his body was too small to safely remove and transplant it.

Overkill's leader also had a problem... a thorn in his side named Grimlock. Everywhere he went the dinobot was sure to follow. Defeat followed defeat, as he had no soldiers capable of matching Grimlock's ferocity or physical power. Except possibly for Overkill.

The surgeons used detail scans of Grimlock to contruct a facsimile of his body. They inserted Overkill's cassette form into a special housing built into the chest cavity. Overkill could once again function as a member of the Decepticon military.

Now more powerfull than ever before, Overkill still tends to fight his enemies beyond the point of defeat, but his leader is seriously considering ripping out his vocal processor... It might be the only way to shut him up."

Can you tell me more about this bio? I assume Shawn is the guy that ran the class... What's his last name? Did he give a copy of this bio to everyone? Was it printed out on a card like the exclusives' bios? I must know these things! --Steve-o 02:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Shawn Tessman is the semi-official FP customizer - he did the Nitrostreak and Razorclaw toys at '06, as well as the Quickslinger custom/article for the club. He also ran the '06 custom class with Rumble and Inferno. I very much doubt there is a card for the bio, but the Overkill (Tessman's) on the art tables had an 8x10" sheet of paper with his TFU-style profile/abilities/weaknesses typed up. -67.149.204.113 04:47, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Once his Classics bio is added, there should be a footnote about his special "Hannah Montana Attack" that was dropped from the bio for legal reasons but mentioned in the class. Presumably, this would involve channeling obnoxious Disney-Pop through his speakers at deafening levels. -SS
