Name: Hook

Quote: ”Strive for perfection even if others must suffer.’
Team: The Cassetticons
Commander: Soundwave
Subfaction: The Constructicons
Function: Surgical Engineer

Bio
Requested by Soundwave for his skills, Hook was not eager to leave the side of his combiner team. Yet a deal struck by Soundwave to meet the other Constructicons persuaded him with out much trouble. His technical expertise has given the team advantage of not having to return to Cybertron for repairs. Regardless how he acts he knows he is needed with the team and feels there is no one better to do it.

TECH SPEC BIO:
With the care and precision of a fine jeweler, Hook performs job with a skill unparalleled among all the Transformers. It doesn't matter whether he's reconnecting a damaged microchip or setting a two ton girder into place- in each case perfection is his final goal. Perhaps because he is a perfectionist he has a snobbish, supercilious attitude toward his fellow Constructicons, since he considers them generally crude and dim-witted. Although Hook may not win any popularity contests, there's no denying his superior abilities and the important role they have in the Decepticons' evil schemes. As shoulders and head module, combines with fellow Constructicons to form giant robot "Devastator".

ABILITIES
In vehicular mode, Hook can use his crane to lift objects weighing up to 20 tons. In positioning these objects, his error tolerance less than .00001%. In robot mode he shows equal precision repairing comrades as the Decepticon surgeon. He carries a rocket launcher in vehicular mode and a laser pistol in robot mode. He serves as the shoulders and head module that, when combined with his fellow Constructicons, forms the giant robot known as Devastator.

WEAKNESSES
The extreme care Hook takes in performing his job often slows down his work to the point of antagonizing his fellow Decepticons and endangering whatever operation they are involved in. Overuse of his crane can result in metal stress fractures.
