Past:

Armorbullet was created on Earth by Slicewing by using spark parts of Solidstrike and Warhead. He has been built as the ultimate air weapon to support Warhead in any air strike attacks. First activated in the Nightstalker mountain base he immediately realized that he was built for serving as a Nightstalker and he never questioned that. He is young and unexperienced but he can easily compensate that with his extreme armament.

Being the first hybrid ever constructed of Shadowcon and Autobot Spark he has advantages of both races. His energon signature is a complete new one, neither Cybertronian nor Shadowcon.

Character:

Armorbullets strength is his reliability is unbeatable. Even if it would mean losing his life he can always be counted on. Also one of his strengths is his loyalty. Once a friend - always a friend even though it takes time to gain him as a friend. What some bots don't think since he is very sociable and talk active when he's with company. He likes to talk and to introduce him to others, telling stories is one of his specialty even though he has less experience and not much to go back to. Because of that no one ever thinks that he is actually a very sensitive character who is quickly hurt but it also gives him an insightful perspective. He is a quick thinker, once given a problem he mostly find a solution quickly but most times he lacks of the necessary knowledge for a proper working solution.

Unfortunately Armorbullet has a very impulsive piece of character what makes him bouncing into the situations before he could see if he can handle it. His impulsive way of a daredevil takes his fear on one hand on the other hand it's a distinct weakness since he could easily pick on an enemy he can't keep up with. He has also a very brash manner what sometimes causes him trouble especially when he tries to reach something with words and without weapons. What he definitely lacks of is courage what makes him lying lazy around and doing nothing. He can do this very good because he is in the Transformers equivalent to a youth in puberty.

Weaknesses:

Slicewing built Armorbullet with nearly no tactical disadvantages. The only way to beat him is simply to have more strength than he has toughness. His alt-mode was well chosen and his character is a mix of Solidstrike and Warhead.

Special Abilities:

When chased and fired upon he can dispatch SUU-42A/A Flares/Infrared decoys to fool self-guiding missiles. Due to the fact that he has a hybrid spark, Shadowcon and Autobot, he can warp and cloak in robot mode only. Also he has very tough systems which are hard to get down.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. The A-10 was designed for a United States Air Force requirement to provide close air support (CAS) for ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets with a limited air interdiction capability. It is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.

The A-10 has superior maneuverability at low speeds and altitude, due to large wing area, high wing aspect ratio, and large ailerons. The large high aspect ratio wing also allows for short takeoffs and landings, permitting operations from primitive forward airfields near front lines. The aircraft can loiter for extended periods of time and operate under 1,000 ft (300 m) ceilings with 1.5 mi (2.4 km) visibility. It typically flies at a relatively slow speed of 300 knots (560 km/h; 350 mph), which makes it an effective platform for the ground-attack role.

The A-10 is exceptionally tough. Its strong airframe can survive direct hits from armor-piercing and high-explosive projectiles up to 23 mm. The aircraft has triple redundancy in its flight systems, with mechanical systems to back up double-redundant hydraulic systems. This permits pilots to fly and land when hydraulic power or part of a wing is lost. The aircraft is designed to fly with one engine, one tail, one elevator and half a wing torn off. Its self-sealing fuel tanks are protected by fire-retardant foam. The A-10's main landing gear is designed so that the wheels semi-protrude from their nacelles when the gear is retracted so as to make gear-up landings (belly landing) easier to control and less damaging to the aircraft's underside. A belly landing would be required in the case of a landing gear failure.
