Name: Swiveltooth
Pronouns: He/himÂ
Age:~3 million years old (Decepticon cold construct)

Description: Swiveltooth is an 30’ mech with a main color scheme of tarnished copper green and darker silver. He has a tail that has a rotary socket with multiple tools. Originally, it was used to store tools for info extraction, breaking and entering, etc (typical spy stuff), but has since been modified to store medical tools. Another modification he has is a detachable covering for the rotary socket that resembles a turbofox. He has several of these coverings, but the turbofox is the most popular.
These attachments are used as a distraction for anxious patients (usually sparklings or those freshly constructed). How? He uses them as ventriloquist puppets to tell jokes and share fun facts while he works. This has been a great hit among his patients.
Swiveltooth was constructed a decent deal into the war, created with the purpose of infiltrating smaller factions for the Decepticons to conquer and gain resources from. This is seen in many deviations from the typical Cybertronian frame, including but not limited to: An unreliable EM field that reveals only strong or consciously revealed emotions, a downloading ability, hypermobility, partial frame-shifting, and no outward tells of dishonesty. Despite this, his creators never accounted for their Magnum Opus to develop an extreme sense of empathy. Swiveltooth cannot STAND lying or deceit, from himself or others, even as something simple as hiding a forge-day surprise.
It may not reach his EM field, but he feels immensely guilty in situations he's forced to lie in. Especially because it comes easy to him, causing him to feel disgusted with himself. He has a strong sense for bullshit and will call it out in others.Â
Because of this dissonance, he came to the realization that he had to make a choice after he joined the Ipexions. Silence his creators, or burn the morals that shaped him. He chose the former. He occasionally has nightmares about that night cycle due to their final words, which he refuses to share.more on his patients, he views bonding with his patients as the best way to give them proper care, so he does his best to meet them wherever they are to treat them effectively. He loves getting mechs excited to share their interests, and often learns a lot from his patients.
Yes, he does give out stickers to well behaved patients. However (especially with sparklings and the newly forged), patients tend to stick them right back on him, especially around his cheekplates. It's almost always the cheekplates, and since he doesn't have the heart to remove them, they're just. There. All over his cheekplates.
