----------------------------------------------------

Mosaic

Unit: Special Ops, mechanic.

Specializations: Deviousness, survival, theft and mechanics.

Weapons: Two small integrated superheated plasma canons in each door (not long range), the doors serving as both gun and shield.

Alt mode: BMW AC Schnitzer ACS4 M Coupe 2007. Colour: Deep red graduating to burned umber.
Special abilities: Driving backwards in 160 km/h.

Distinguishing physical features: Mosaic is a sleek and lightweight in robot form, with the car doors acting as forearm protectors.

Other distinctive features/habits/abilities: Has a simile plate soldered to the place where his decepticon emblem once was.

Personal motto: It's always too soon to quit.

Mosaic bio/on Earth: Mosaic is the handyman and the grease monkey of the Goth bots. Anything in a need of fixi’n and he is a fixi’n it. Mostly successful too, he has a great enthusiasm for “ pimping” the things that come under his charge. Like making little add one’s such as an extra canon to a petrol mug and similar. He is an easygoing bot that likes to talk; a real motor mouth.
When he is not tinkering with his projects he loves to take to the open roads, especially favored is road E6 towards Oslo. In his altform Mosaic love to just kick in the gears and stretch that engine! (Need for speed junkie thy name is Mosaic!) By now he is utterly well known at the local police stations for chronic speeding. That has earned him more or less permanent work in community service for the City. A bot for building, moving etc. is quite useful (As a live lift if nothing ells.) Much of the work is at plantations and parks around and in Gothenburg. An often heard quote from Mosaic is:" I hate bushes...." as he works off his ever growing debt.
Mosaic first contact with Goth bots where when he did a raid to steal high-grade silicon oil and engine blocks from the base. He intended to sell the parts on to less choosy customers. He was caught red-handed by Ampoint and subsequently went down while trying to escape. Ampoint delivered him to the rest of the team. He received not what he had thought, a severe beating followed by death, but a loooong lecture (with no pain what so ever except for his audio input modulators) and then a mug of hot oil. To atone for his misdemeanor Mosaic had to do odd jobs at the base and when he had worked his time he had grown accustomed with the base and the members of the team. He worked up the courage to ask if he could remain and where allowed to become a member of the team.


Mosaic on Cybertron: Mosaic was born into the war and grew up surrounded by it. To live became his first and outmost priority, overriding his programming that had him more or less made to be canon fodder to the weapons of the autobots. Actually his assignment code was foot soldier but the result was the same. He started to question the great cause when more and more of his comrades died in the infernos of the plasma fires. After years and years of that existence the battle hardened Mosaic one day dared voice his defiance to his superior and where tortured for the trouble. The charges were demoralization of the troupes. When Mosaic where back he kept on questioning the life he and the others in his unit lived. He was not subdued enough. Time and time again he suffered the punishment that his superiors could think up. Then one day after a short non trail he where sent to execution. His pride, the decepticon emblem where removed from his shoulder plate in an excruciatingly painful ceremony where he had to endure the taunt of his former comrades as they watched. The very comrades who he had tried to give a voice now failed him. If it was out of fear or out of betrayal he did not know and he did not care, his life was over. His life was saved by a surprise assault by the autobots that postponed the execution. During the commotion he and a fellow marked bot ran for their lives. Mosaics fellow escapee died while attempting to steal a spaceship to get of the planet. Only Mosaic managed to get away. After that he mostly loitered around in space feeling disillusioned. Around the same time he started his career as a thief, not much different from being a soldier only the booty was better.
