Is it beautiful, or is it not? He wants to conduct battles according to his sense of beauty, though taking all credits whenever possible is also "beautiful" in Saberback's book, so naturally other Destron soldiers tend to ignore his shriek of "That's not beautiful!!".

Cunning, narcissistic, and also tarot card reading? There's a lot I don't know about this guy! Ironic, considering he was my first BW Neo toy. Always loved the "skull on chest" design.
His shaman like robot mode design is a genius. Now that you mention narcissism, he does have a hand mirror
