BUNGLE

ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON

FUNCTION: DATA COURIER

"Success is in the details."

Profile: Some Decepticons act as though war is a game; Bungle actually believes it. And it's not just war: the costs and benefits of every decision and action, be a conversational aside or a firearm discharge, is quickly weighed and the resultant outcome noted. Bungle even has an elaborate scoring system for awarding points to himself, his allies, even his enemies. Fortunately, his near-infinite data storage capabilities are hardly impacted by this running tally, and his relentless love of trivia and minutiae only serves to improve his performance as a data courier. Bungle is less aggressive and ambitious than the average Decepticon, but it is exactly this relative passivity that keeps him in the ranks: sticking with that which is familiar is easier than going through the effort of defecting. That said, if provoked, he can succumb to a berserker rage, pouncing upon and pummelling anything in sight. Bungle's moniker was forced upon him by his superiors in the same incident that branded his fellow operatives Botch and Fuck-Up. He's not fond of his name, but tolerating it is the path of least resistance.

Abilities: In simian mode, Bungle is especially agile. Wall-grabbing magnets in his hands and feet enhance his already nimble maneuverability. In addition, his two back-mounted mortar cannons can fire 30-pound explosive shells that are accurate for up to 5 miles. However, Bungle's primary asset is the practically limitless capacity of his light-matrix data storage system. His ability to quickly access this archive of information enhances his effectiveness in any situation.

Weaknesses: Bungle's desire to uncover and accumulate information of even the most worthless nature can often distract him from his current assignment. Has a tendency to remain in cassette mode for great lengths of time, lethargically parsing the endless stream of data at his virtual fingertips. Though not a coward, his habit of avoiding confrontation can end up putting him at greater risk.
