Profile
Blurr is the most famous racer on all of Cybertron. Thousands flock to see him in action whenever they get a chance, and even more make it a point to watch him on the sports broadcasts whenever the race is on! Young and idealistic, Blurr has been living the high life, having little to no knowledge of anything beyond his small world of racing, training, partying, and more racing. However, after the death of a valued friend, he's decided to take a more active role in helping right the wrongs of the world--by joining the Autobots.

History
Once upon a time, the chair of R & D at the Ibexian Athletic Association, Axle, and his research team, dreamed of creating the perfect racer. Someone who could not only run and drive faster than anyone on the planet, but whose mind could also keep up with his incredibly rapid physical movements. But in order to do that, he would need access to a spark. The team researched the ways they might gain said access, looking first into spark splicing but when that appeared to be a fruitless search (since it didn't actually exist), they turned to attempting to convince the Senate to grant them access to a hotspot. Despite the scarcity of hotspots, the Senate actually agreed to allow this, so long as they had the final say in the fate of whatever resulted from the experiment. This was because they actually planned to experiment on new sparks in an attempt to create their own artificial "outliers", and the IAA's project aligned with their goals. Thus, Axle was granted one-time access to the hotspot and allowed to harvest a spark for his own purposes, and Blurr was born. At first, he was thought to be a failure--unable to remain focused on a single item for more than a few minutes, or to even speak properly. Axle enlisted the help of renowned psychiatrist Rung to bring Blurr to a mental state that would allow him to function properly in society. Rung succeeded, but violated the terms of the agreement in doing so, resulting in a fallout.
