#chipsign

Alt Mode: While not drawn yet, their Alt form is similar to an Off Roader truck.

Chipsign is able to transform his servos into drills and energon blades, the bed of their truck form acts as a sort of built in backpack. He also has a built in battlemask!

Pronouns/sexuality: He/They, Gay

Base info:

A quiet and relatively solitary bot, not much is known about them, especially since they were presumed dead until the war.

A self sacrificial autobot, what’s new? They often were sent out on scouting missions or created new tunnels that made it easier for the autobots to get around, however this was only for a short timeframe.

They are riddled with self guilt, at not having been able to do more. Haunted by the ghosts of their past, Chipsign pushes his limits constantly, giving their all as much as he can.

Base Lore:

This is mostly centered around TFone.

They always looked up to the false prime, dreaming of working for him one day.

They did get the job, however, it was shortly after this that they overhear Sentinel ordering the destruction of important history documents, Chipsign, loving history as much as they do, sought out to steal and preserve the documents, succeeding in doing so, but getting caught in the process by Sentinel and his guards.

Chipsigns voice box was permanently damaged and he lost an eye in this encounter.

Chipsign, when he was young, dug small hidey holes around Iacon, these later came to save their life and evolve into the tunnels(which even extended up to the surface).

When the war started, Chipsign stayed hidden out of fear, eventually being discovered when they saved an autobot from a seeker attack by dragging him into the tunnels.

At one point, the tunnels collapsed and they left the autobots, becoming neutral, eventually landing with Aurorastreak, Fireblast, and Colorbird.

This is the extent of what is known, as he refuses to talk about his past(Particularly the scar on his side).

Funfacts:

Chipsign primarily uses the cybertronian equivalent of sign language, as it is painful for him to talk often.

Chipsign HATES his plating colors, he used to be so proud of the likeness to the false prime, but now it just serves as a reminder of everything Sentinel did.

Chipsign used to paint over the gold and champagne gold stripes, but now with a lack of access to the paint, they choose to just scratch at the gold on their plating.

Chipsign is outwardly emotionless, their battle mask does not help. The most common way to see what he is thinking/feeling is by looking at his finials.

Chipsign almost always has a battle mask on, rarely taking it off infront of others.(Colorbird is the only one of the wanderers to actually see the grounders face.)

Chipsign is the strongest and biggest out of the Wanderers.

No specified age, however they are the oldest of the wanderers.

Ex Autobot!
