Fiction
[edit]Beast Wars: Uprising
Wolfang was a Predacon Secret Police copper who was sent as a spy in the Maximal Command Security Force, transforming from his real robot mode into a Maximal disguise. Initially, he'd been an eager-beaver patriot. As time went on and the depressing, soul-grinding nature of Cybertron wore down on him, he grew depressed and addicted to cy-gar-ettes. He also stopped caring about his spy mission: he enjoyed solving murder cases (though never getting too invested) and was happy to be seen as a good soldier by both sides. Wolfang was, he prided himself, an honest MaxCop too, never being corrupt to supplement his salary. Trigger Warnings He worked with Stiletto, who for her part considered him a colleague, and called him "Howlinger" to annoy him. Cultural Appropriation
As a MaxCop, he partnered with Aura. He attempted to counsel Stiletto after she was forced to kill her partner Betabear while he was on a nucleon-kick, but she failed to recover mentally and Wolfang lost a leg in the field due to Stiletto's hesitation to act. The leg turned from blue to red after it was separated, but she didn't properly register this. Burning Bridges
During the Grand Uprising, he became far too attached to one murder case after secretly accessing the victim's memories and seeing happy emotions. The victim, Twirl, turned out to be a Targetmaster in disguise, hiding in plain sight as a Micromaster. With the Resistance and Tarantulas both interested in the forbidden technology contained in her corpse, Wolfang realized that the true killer was none other than Overrun, another Targetmaster in hiding. He convinced Overrun that the tech in his body was too dangerous to be allowed to fall to either faction and the two of them allowed themselves to be blown up. Trigger Warnings
Stiletto would learn of his death some time later, though she only knew some details, such as it being a "Builder murder case", and on finding an abandoned pack of cy-gar-ettes smoked some in his memory. Cultural Appropriation A year later, she'd learnt he'd been a Predacon, and callously dismissed his death. Derailment Ultimately, Wolfang's presence in history, such as it was, wound up forgotten completely. Lio Convoy: Unity Through Tyranny
