Name: Hardback

Age: Unknown

Appearance: Hardback is one of the untalked about and pretty much unknown Dinobot. If you do not know what that is, well a Dinobot is a Transformer. Instead of a vehicle like many are, a Dinobot takes the form of a dinosaur as might have guessed. Hardback took the shape after an Anklyosaurus. So while in dino mode, he stands at about 6' tall while about 4' wide and shy of 18' from tip of snout to end of tail. When a robot form, he would stand at 8' tall. Majority of body is a silver metal with dark green highlights.

Personality: Cool, Calculated, Easily flustered, Easily embarrassed, Highly defensive/protective

Powers or Abilities: Transforming - At will can switch between both robot and dino forms.

Mace like tail - In both forms has the tail. If wanted to as a robot can actually remove it to use like a normal mace. It also can be charged up with electricity for a stronger smack.

Thick metal back plating - This stuff is even tougher then his normal metal body. It truly is impervious to any substance. Much like tail, it can be used in robot form just this time as a great shield.

Equipment and Weapons: Look above for 2. Along with those, has a pair of energon blasters.

Universe of origin, and perhaps a description: Cybertron - The home of the Transformers. DUH!

Bio (leading up to death): Hardback came to be while the other Dinobots were all formed in a happy band or family. Well dysfunctional is a better word. He never took orders right from Grimlock and was the only which stoof up to the leader of the small group. Before any autobots came across the Dinobots, Hardback had went off on his own. The others never spoke of him even faintly. He was pretty much a lost cause and an exile. Hardback then just traveled about fending for self and even got off Earth to return back to space and travel. Yet that is when things went bad. The combination of lack of Energon and constant aggressive locations arrived at repeatedly wore him out.

Cause of death: Combo of 'starved' from lack of Energon and power core getting to damaged with no way to fix it.
