Witwicky, Daniel

Daniel Witwicky

Allegiance: Autobot

Function: Human Companion

First Cartoon Appearance: "More Than Meets The Eye: Part One"

"No evil shall diminish the everlasting power of youth."

Profile: Daniel is the son of Spike and Carly Witwicky, ambassadors of Earth to the Universe. He is also the best friend of Hot Rod, who displays the same qualities as Daniel. Youth, brashness, and being carefree. However, Daniel's carefree world came crashing down, as did for all the Autobots, in 2005, when the war of the Transformers took its greatest toll: the life of Optimus Prime. Also, in an attack by Unicron, Daniel's father, Spike, disappeared, and Daniel was devastated. With the help of Ultra Magnus and Springer, he learned how to control the exo-suit that once belonged to his father, and soon became a full-fledged member of the Autobots. But his grief soon turned into joy, as Daniel experienced perhaps the most honoring thing a human can experience. He saved his own father from certain doom. By 2007, Daniel had become the Headmaster of Arcee, the female Autobot, which saved him from a paralyzing accident during a battle against the Decepticons. That signified his closest relationship with the Autobots.

Abilities: Even though Daniel is a kid, he is very intelligent and agile. His skills controlling and using the exo-suit are remarkable. He is used to the constant war and threat, therefore he is mentally capable of handling a Decepticon attack, he knows what to do, and he is a very street smart kid. His small size also comes handy, as he is very hard to capture because of his small size.

Weaknesses: Daniel's size is also his greatest physical weakness. He is especially small and fragile compared to Spike or Sparkplug, not to mention a Transformer. As smat as he is, in the end he is only a child. He's not mentally fit to make repsonisble decisions regarding the Transformers' war, and may require someone to help him out, thus becoming a liability to other Autobots. The simple fact that he's a human also requires the Autobots constant concern, therefore being a liability on that aspect as well.
