Where does the part about him being friends with Fusion (?) and Bluestreak originate? (That's the kinda of thing I thing could really use citation, even if it is in the bio)


So fusion is from Stepper's bio. (I assume his friendship with Blue is from the same place) So are we treating Stepper and Ricochet as the same character then just with seperate names (as opposed to the Pretenders like Wave)? Is the Takkara bio/personality pretty much exactly the same as Ricochets? If they conflict I think I have to vote them seperate characters.

Ricochet's bio includes lines lifted verbatim from Stepper's bio, the ones most key to hsi personality. It's 2 names for the same character. -Derik 02:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, guys, I'm not American, so can someone explain the New Jersey thing?

New Jersey is one of the 50 states, and each car has a license plate that's registered in one of those states. Ricochet's says "New Jersey" on it. --ItsWalky 13:51, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
No, I get that, but why is it 'strangely right somehow'?
New Jersey is a disgusting, rude hellhole filled with despicable people. --ItsWalky 14:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Ah, well, now that explains it. Even more so now that I've read the edit. It's strange, for a character I knew nothing about besides "sells poorly, used to fetch high prices, good shot, Targetmaster" I find myself really liking him. But. I have a thing for 'underappreciated' characters.

Seems kind of unnecessary to me...

Explanation for Targetmasterness

Uh, I can't write very well, so uh could one of you guys who can make this go in the article all clever and non-plagiarized?

"Stepper Profile: Cybertron/Stepper Function...Rapid-Fire Attack Motto..."It isn't concentration that improves your aim, it's guts."

Profile Though short-tempered, Stepper is known to have twice the sense of justice of anyone else. His marksmanship is said to be in the top class among the Cybertrons, and he would have contests of skill with his pals Streak and Fusion while they were on Seibertron. Classified as a Targetmaster, Stepper is paired with his partner Nebulon, but their background couldn't be more different from the others in their group. Let's look into this starting from the fact that, unlike his fellow Targetmasters, Nebulon combines at Stepper's back. An engineer on the planet Master, Nebulon volunteered to help Stepper compensate for damage done to Stepper's metabolic functions in a certain incident. Being made symbiotic with Nebulon allowed Stepper to maintain life support. The jet-black portions of his body coloration can function as a "black body," and the energy they gather during normal times can be fired from Nebulon's flame cannon during combat. Those energies' temperatures can exceed 5000�C, but with his car mode reaching top speeds of over 700 km/h, to avoid backdraft problems, he saves its use for later, switching instead to his two normal beam cannons."
