    A character taken from my fan fiction universe:-
    {Bio}
    Sandstorm - decepticon [alt mode1: Cybertronian tank. ]

    Bio:
    Sandstorms past is a barren slate on teh radar's of many but only one mech knows about him. Bio taken from teh personal datatracks of Riotcon captain Radnar: Sandstorm is for lack of a better word a twisted genius. He loves to work behind the scenes influencing others to do his dirty work for him. I remember an order he gave me once. He added 'I'm asking you to do this as I don't want to get my hands dirty'. He is also an incredibly skilled manipulator of others but when required to fight he can match most other commander type mechs blow for blow. I had though that together with Warstorm we had vanquished him forever but alas it seems that the slimy son of a crankshaft survived somehow.

    Unknown to other mechs:
    Sandstorm was found by odd kind hearted aliens whom he tricked into building him a new body. After they had done so he killed them and then used there craft to enter the core of cybertron where he then activated age old systems that dragged cybertron into the dimensional limbo It currently resides in while leaving an exact clone in its place. He then manipulated every mech that found his/her way onto the world into doing his bidding. Whether or not they realised it. He is so skilled at this that he even manged to trick the devoted follower of megatron and super-robot Earthshaker into helping him.

    Weapons/abilities:
    In tank mode he is armed with a chargable fusion cannon.

    The charged fusion cannon's barrel is embedded within his right forearm. For close combat he is armed with a ball and chain weapon and a claw/blade

    stats:

    Strength: 10
    Speed: 8
    Intelligence: 10
    Agility: 7
    Endurance: 10
    Courage: 10
    Firepower: 9
    Accuracy: 8
    Hand-to-hand skill: 8
    Technical Skill: 10

    Weaknesses:
    Sandstorm is overconfident in everything he does.

    Painting is basically complete (some of the grey joints rubbed so I didn't paint them.)

    This is executed fantastically, however it's kind of a boring color. It takes away from tge figure, In my opinion. If you put on a few cybertronian symbols and a little bit if silver or black on his robotic nooks and cranies I think it would make him really pop!

    Nice! What would really make this thing pop is some dark brown camo.

    Actually that is a better idea rather then the symbols, but I still think some silver or black robotic tiny bits of metallic fury would do him justice.

    i dig it but agree that he needs more colors to break it up a bit and keep him from being bland
