Profile[]
Though a theoretician by trade, he's also a congenital learner, capable of mastering almost any skill naturally. While this makes him suited for just about any task, it makes him a surprisingly skilled warrior and special ops agent as he learns more combat techniques. It's hard for him to take an interest in anything since he'll almost immediately master it and it'll stop being a challenge. But the real source of his bad attitude is that despite being able master anything, the only thing he can't quite figure out is himself. And it ticks him off.
History[]
Before the war, Skids trained as a theoretician at the Senator Shockwave's Academy of Advanced Technology, Patternism secretly recruited to the school because of his status as an "outlier" with special powers—in Skids's case, a "super-learning" ability that allowed him to master many skills. An Intimate Beheading He was present at the academy on the day that Roller and Ratchet arrived to take Shockwave into protective custody, and his attempt to stop them was quickly quashed when the towering Roller intimidated him into silence. Patternism It was not long, however, before Skids's teacher returned and recruited him and classmates "Glitch" and Windcharger for a plan formulated by Orion Pax to steal a bomb disguised as the Matrix from Nominus Prime's body as it lay in the Primal Basilica. Skids was somewhat disappointed that his sole contribution to the plan was not one of his many skills, but merely the fact he had a grappling hook in his arm that they could use to lower Pax into the Basilica, but despite a minor snag when the technology-disrupting Glitch accidentally jammed his hook's winch, the mission was a success.
After graduating to full-fledged theoretician status, Skids went on to join the Diplomatic Corps, to work to persuade other races to support the Autobot cause. When he does not do perform other duties.
