So this guy came out of nowhere. He's also a Decepticon. Whut?

Anyways, his name is Redshift, and he's a Seeker. Not just any Seeker, though, but the leader of the whole group. Hey! Put your guns away and let me finish. He was the leader of the Seekers on Cybertron, and among the most trusted of the Decepticon ranks. Both he and Skyfire had gone with Starscream to Earth all those millions of years ago, as they were friends and scientists before the war.

However, after all the shenanigans began, Redshift identified himself as a Decepticon, and was made leader of the Seekers for his cool, collected demeanor, as well as for having a level of intelligence that often times surpassed that of the other jets. And for this, his and Starscream's friendship turned foul. Starscream often appealed to Megatron in hopes of convincing him that Red's plans were often traitorous, but he would have none of it: Redshift was as loyal as Soundwave or Shockwave. However, Starscream got an opportunity to do away with his superior for good when their war was brought to earth. In their first urban tussle with the Autobots, Starscream turned on Redshift and shot him down. Believing him to be dead, Screamer reported back to Megatron that Red was gone and that he should be the new leader of the Seekers. Megs reluctantly agreed.

Little did anyone know, however, that Redshift's spark was not destroyed. It traveled about for only a few seconds before finding its way to a nearby hospital, and into the dialysis machine of a man in a coma, and came to rest in his body, causing him to wake up.

Redshift, in his new organic form, grew somewhat insane. Hell-bent on exacting his revenge on Starscream for "killing" him, and to return to a Transformer body, he became the epitome of a mad scientist. He used his intimate knowledge of machines to build a small army of drones to help him in his experiments. He would recover the bodies of Transformers fallen in battle (and some that perhaps weren't quite so dead) and study them in most inhumane ways.

This character was inspired by both Dr. Von Kripplor and the Necromancer from Diablo II. Also, every Transfan has to have a Seeker OC, amirite?
