Rewind
Allegiance: Autobot
Function: Archivist
"Too much information is never enough."
Profile: Rewind is the
Autobot trivia expert. His memory banks have an amazing capacity to
process and store data that is of virtually no use to any one. Ask him
what is the ratio of carbon to ditryllium atoms in laser pistol polish
or what is the capitol of New Jersey and he'll answer without
hesitation. But ask him something important, like what is the
recommended way of disarming a photon-cannon drone, and he'll probably
be of no help at all. Still, sometimes his knowledge of arcane facts
proves to be an immense help, and Rewind is much appreciated by his
fellow Autobots for it. They just wish that he would turn his attention
away from encyclopedia collections and toward the war with the
Decepticons more often. (By the way, the answers to to above questions
are: 3,623 to 1; Telemark VI on the planet Ganzvort, Trenton on the
planet Earth; and tell him his fusion line is unplugged.)
Abilities: Rewind's
internal light-matrix data storage system enables him to record and
store an almost infinite amount of data. His recall from memory of any
individual datum is virtually instantaneous. He can also release some
of the light energy and turn himself into a blinding beacon. In robot
mode, he uses an adhesion rifle, which shoots a quick-drying stream of
glue that unbreakably bonds metal to whatever it touches.
Weaknesses: Rewind
sometimes suffers from severe cerebro-circuitry overloads, what
Earthlings would call "headaches," when he attempts to absorb too much
data too quickly. He is incapacitated and helpless when this happens,
and he can take hours, even days to recover. He's even been known to
blow out some circuitry, which usually requires major repairs.
