PIRANACON
Allegiance: DECEPTICON
Sub-Group: SEACON
Function: NAVAL ASSAULT
"To live is to hunt; to hunt is to live!"
Profile: As the living
incarnation of the six distinct and often feuding
Seacon personalities, Piranacon might lead one to believe that his
six-part mind must be confused and tormented. Quite the opposite is
true. The bottom line on all Seacons is that they love what they do,
and what they do best is hunt for prey. Piranacon is the truest
expression of this lethal talent. From the moment the Seacons combine
to form him, he is hunting for prey. When he finds and destroys one
hapless victim, he immediately starts looking for another. He will
continue this course of behavior until he runs out of fuel (which he
inevitably will do since he never pauses to reenergize) or until he is
stopped (which considering his awesome power, rarely happens). Usually,
Seacon leader Snaptrap sets an internal timer in advance of combining
with the other Seacons to insure that Piranacon will automatically
disassemble into his component Seacons at some future time. Piranacon
is so single-minded about his task that he will brush aside-if
necessary knock aside- any Decepticon who tries to talk to him about
anything else. More than a few of his comrades have had a few screws
jarred loose (and worse) by merely asking Piranacon if he would like
his joints lubed, or some equally innocent question. "I wish I had a
thousand more Iike him," Decepticon Commander Megatron says with a
smile.
Abilities: Piranacon's
strength is immense. He can hold up to 4,000,000 tons, making him ideal
for lifting freighters and various warships from the sea. He is fully
operational up to a depth of 30,000 feet below sea level. He only walks
at a maximum speed of 15 mph on land and 10 mph undersea, but since he
is virtually impervious to weapons-fire, his need for speed in order to
evade enemy attack is negligible. He wields a jawbreaker cannon (which
is actually the weapons-base mode of the Seacon Overbite), which shoots
powerful metal-eating, salt-based corrosives.
Weaknesses: Piranacon has
no known physical weaknesses. His one
track mind often prevents him from accepting the advice and help of
others, usually to his detriment. He jeopardizes his well-being by not
attending to his own basic needs, such as refueling and removing rust
spots.
