"YOU SHOW ME MINE AND I'LL SHOW YOU YOURS!"
 
        Spitfire is the Wolf Pack’s newest and youngest member, her years totaling up to less than a single Earth century. Her comparatively high rank in the Wolf Pack hierarchy is not misplaced, however, for she has seen much of life in this short time.  A naturally argumentative individual, Spitfire's attitude towards authority earned her a swift discharge from Galvatron's base on Charr, but the trait causes minimal difficulties in her new position. Her friends in the Pack and in the Phantom Pirate Fleet with which the Pack is merged are her "family." It is likely that she would die defending them. The Pack/Phantom cause of overthrowing Galvatron and instituting a viable form of Decepticon government has become a part of her personal philosophy, since she joined the renegades. Her contempt for her former leader has a somewhat personal basis, though she argues that the "grudge" is justified by fact. She is proud to be a Decepticon, and feels that Galvatron's unstable leadership is a threat to her race's survival.

        She is a believer in the religion of a Cybertronic sub-tribe known as the Kree, and is a follower of the fire god Cearr. This alliance grants her certain powers, including the ability to withstand cold and heat that would be fatal to most Transformers. She has the added ability of astral projection, projecting ether her own spirit or, more usually, that of her ally, a human female whose soul inhabits her body in conjunction with her own. This power enables her to be in two places at once, and makes her a most effective spy.

        A rambunctious party animal, Spitfire is the bassist and founding member of a heavy metal band that she and her small friend Electrofox started years before they joined the Pack. "Rust Blight" is now a highly successful venture in its own right. The current lineup consists of Electrofox on drums, Spitfire on bass, Starshadow on guitar, and (a recent addition), Phantom Fleet commander Starscream on lead vocals.

CAPABILlTIES
        Spitfire is accurate in describing herself as 'impressive." She is all-black with long, dark metallic hair and green optic sensors. Though lightly built, her agility makes up what she lacks in size and weight and she appears taller than her average 41feet.  Her transform mode resembles the Spitfire fighter of Earth's 2nd World War, but the primitive appearance is deceptive.  Her gleaming raven wings conceal two state-of- the-art jet engines capable of propelling her at speeds of nearly Mach 4, and she defends herself with a pair of high-powered laser cannons. Her missile racks car hold up to eight missiles, either the conventional type or "Blight Shells," which release a corrosive gas when detonated. The gas is capable of destroying the innards of an enemy aircraft's engines within minutes of contact, and is most effective against pursuers.

        In root mode, Spitfire's infamous "Trash Cannon" is by far her favorite weapon. Mounted on her right shoulder when in use, its heavily armored firing chamber can accommodate a range of ammunition limited only by its user’s imagination. Possibilities run the gamut from grenades and specialty acid pellets all the way down through mud, rocks, rotten fruit and chewing gum. This versatility makes it just as useful at parties as it is in the heat of battle.

        Her armaments are augmented by a pair of laser rifles mounted on her forearms, and by her sinuous, poison-tipped tail. Its sting is potent enough to paralyze most robotic lifeforms for up to three minutes, and since the tail is extremely flexible, it can also be used for such purposes as carrying pieces of delicate equipment, operating precision welding tools, and "goosing" good-looking male Decepticons.

WEAKNESSES
        Spitfire’s greatest weakness lies in the possibility of being forced to fly through the corrosive "Blight Shell" gases after one of her missiles has been detonated. Though protected in her root mode, in jet mode her intakes remain vulnerable. Contact with the gas could mean a severe crash. The threat of being "dislocated" from her body during astral projection is a possibility (though a rather remote one), and her natural impetuousness and short temper can occasionally goad her into situations that are too much for her to handle.
