Fictional biography
Size, strength, speed and superior intelligence are all trademarks of Rapticon. As fierce and cutthroat in battle as he is with insults and one-liners, but Vehicons would much rather be on the receiving end of his verbal assaults than his physical ones. Reinforced tail can smash Vehicon weapons and bodies to pieces almost instantly. Enhanced vision allows him to eye the enemy from massive distances and immediately identify weak spots in their formations. Sonic roar can cause permanent damage to Vehicon radars and sensors. Devises and executes ambushes and raids with unmatched precision and success.
