Name: Spacewarp

Function: Adventurer

Motto: “All I ask is a neutrino wind at my back, a nebula to dodge, and the flung spray and blown spume of a supernova, and you'll find me a satisfied wanderer.”

STRENGTH: 2 INTELLIGENCE: 8 SPEED: 10+ ENDURANCE: 5 RANK: 4 COURAGE: 10 FIREBLAST: 10+ SKILL: 9

Bio: A card-sharping, engex-guzzling, rough-and-tumble Cybertronian, Spacewarp has been everywhere, seen everything, done everything. She's plied the spaceways as a pirate, found work as a soldier-for-hire, even engaged in the occasional bout of freelance peacekeeping. She loves spinning yarns of her past exploits, and her tales grow with each telling. To hear her tell it, she's broker a peace between angry gods, saved the galaxy three and a half times, charmed tribes of primitive Cybertronians on long-lost colony worlds, accidentally destroyed an entire solar system, won all the gold the Galran Khanganete on a single roll of the dice, and even gone toe-to-toe with not one but two of the Thirteen. She claims her current, Mini-Con stature is but a temporary impediment, the legacy of a run-in with a time traveler wielding a Tissue Compression Eliminator device.

Regardless of her size, she's a force to be reckoned with. When binary bonded with Megatron, whom she finds fascinating in a case-study-of-a-tyrant way, she can utilize his connection to a black hole to power a space bridge to anywhere in the universe. In her spaceship configuration, she can achieve FTL velocity and even, under the right circumstances, pierce the dimensional veil between universes. Her most versatile form, the Transwarp Blaster rifle, can rewrite the fundamental properties of reality itself, tear a hole in space and time, or simply unleash a massive geyser of energy able to overwhelm all but the most heavily-shielded of targets. Despite her potent capabilities, or perhaps because of them, she tends to be overconfident; her physical strength is low, and she's not quite as clever as she thinks she is. She enjoys her partnership with Megatron, who has proved invaluable in extricating herself from the situations she blithely walks into. She's aware that he sees her as a tool, and intends to skedaddle should he ever push her too far. For now, though, she believes her abilities make her too valuable for him to carelessly exploit. She just may be right about that.

The author of this bio likes to think that the Doctor whom Spacewarp encountered was the Ninth Doctor.

*goes to Wiki to look*

EDIT: Neither. Death's Head encounterz Doctor #7 in The CrossRoads of Time who uses a TCE on him to shrink DH to human size. (The Doctor seemingly was hoping for a little more...)

Still, its a nice nod in Spacewarp's bio to obscure muktifandom canon

The reason the author picked the 9th Doctor is, simply, because that's the author's favorite Doctor.

I'm very fond of the 10th and 11th myself
