Biography:
Quickfix is a mech on the younger side who came online long after the Pax Cybertronia. Shortly after coming online, Quickfix found himself drawn to the medical profession where he was taken under the wing of older Predacon medics who taught him the basic skills of being a medic. Over the course of his medical training however, Quickfix became rather interested in the art of hacking, in his spare time teaching himself computer codes, encryptions, and all the systems and knowledge that went with it. And for a time it was a rather peaceful life, the young mech keeping himself rather busy and out of trouble despite all the tension between the Predacons and Maximals in this uneasy peace.
However, as luck would have it Quickfix would wind up befriending an injured Predacon connected with the criminal underground, being the medic put in charge of handling the mech's recovery. During the time the old Predacon was recovering, Quickfix would spend his free time talking back and forth about old war stories and the Predacon's exploits while the young mech explained his own young life and exactly what he could do. His ability to hack caught the old gangster's attention, the older Predacon using the young mech's awe at what he did to his advantage, inviting Quickfix to see first hand the sort of activities he was involved in. Curious and excited to see a whole new side of Cybertron, Quickfix accepted and joined the gangster during one of his days off where he was introduced and drawn into the criminal underworld himself and became a young recruit in Cryotek's gang.
At first, Quickfix was kept in the loop to a small extent, coming to serve as one of their hackers and medical members, at first not thinking much of it. Eventually though, Quickfix was asked to join in on business deals and job runs, reality slapping him hard when he saw just how dangerous and shady such a life could be and causing the young mech to have second thoughts of sticking with his offer. Word got out to his suppose to be friend within the gang who got permission to use Quickfix as a scapegoat in a rather bold break-in, Quickfix being misinformed about how the plan would be carried out and was instead set up to be found by authorities. While the other members slipped away, Quickfix was arrested and convicted for illegal hacking and aiding in breaking into an important data center. Left to rot, Quickfix served his sentence and vowed to get his life back on track from the past few years being involved with Cryotek's gang.
Upon being released, Quickfix caught word of the Axalon looking for crew members and gladly signed up for the voyage in the hopes of starting a new life. Converted back to a protoform, he was part of the crew sent into orbit at the beginning to the Beast Wars and his pod eventually crash landing on Earth due to the Quantum Surge. Though dormant for months since then, a recent environmental disturbance has reactivated his pod.
Quickfix is a young Predacon with a curious and easy-going streak. He is quite laid back for someone so young and is always eager to learn new things, whether its improving his skills or learning something new entirely, if someone offers it he jumps at that opportunity with a fair bit of enthusiasm. Aside from his laid back nature he is also quite upbeat and seems to always have a positive perspective on situations regardless of how bleak they can be, mostly trying to serve as morale for those around him. Though, since his few years with the gang and his last experience with a large group, he is a bit more on the cautious side and prefers to observe and understand those around him before he goes entirely trusting them. Yet, he is an extremely loyal young mech, believing in the Predacon cause and always doing what he can to do his part, being a hard worker and doing as he is told to the best of his ability. Nevertheless, the mech is still somewhat on the more innocent side and is not nearly as cold sparked and cruel as some of his Predacon brethren.
Weapons:
-Tail Blade: In robot mode, Quickfix's tail becomes a long broad sword, usually mounted on his back when not in use. The feathers along the edges give the blade a serrated edge to cut cleanly into or through armor but leaves a rather nasty wound when ripped out.
-EMP Shotgun: A primarily non-lethal semi-automatic weapon that Quickfix uses that fires rounds that trigger a small EMP wave in a small radius of the impact area, disrupting an enemy's systems within that small area for a short while.
Abilities:
-Medical Tool Storage: As a medic, Quickfix has storage compartments on his upper arms and two on either hip in which he can store basic medical tools and items for field patch work jobs or handling some minor repair work.
-Built-In Computer Cables: These cables are found in either wrist and allow Quickfix to connect to computer outlets and remotely get into a network, pulling up a virtual reality-like setting in which he can navigate virtual space, projecting files and codes within his subconscious.
Vehicle Mode:
-Quickmix's transmetal form has given him a motorized three-wheeled bike mode with two small rocket boosters in his hind quarters to grant him mobility. Two of the wheels are located just above his raptor legs, which collapse and press against his under side when using his vehicle mode instead, while his arms can shift and combine into the front wheel.
Weaknesses:
-Quickfix has a leaner, smaller frame that has made him built more for speed and agility leaving him more vulnerable to heavy artillery or those who use brute force.
-The most glaring weakness Quickfix has is the lack of combat training, having very rudimentary and basic skills when it comes to combat where most times he prefers favoring his speed and agility to outmaneuver others on the battle field to get to his patients or get an advantage.
-Quickfix is also loyal to the Predacon cause and those he comes to trust to a fault, sometimes allowing his own comrades to take advantage of him, especially in his enthusiasm to learn something new or do his part for the cause.

BIO:
Onyx was one of those protoforms who came online with a career already planned for his future, awakening the first time as a newly made protoform and being placed into a boot camp in the Predacon Military Academy. Being put through his paces, Onyx was trained in the available forms of hand-to-hand, martial arts, and different types of weapons, such as blades and long- to short-ranged weapons. Due to favoring brute force and sturdy frame, he was assigned to be a front-line fighter following his graduation and before long he found himself taking part in many skirmishes throughout the galaxy and Cybertron sometime before the Pax Cybertronia was signed. Over the course of his career, Onyx took many lives and earned several scars, both physically and mentally but never wavering in his loyalties to the Predacon cause.
Eventually, the Predacons and Maximals made an uneasy settlement to end hostilities, bringing about the signing of the Pax Cybertronia. Onyx was one of those Predacons who was not quite satisfied with the agreements however, more so as the years would pass and it became clear the Predacons didn't have as much representation as they would have liked. By this time, Onyx had found himself in reserve among the Predacon Military forces, only needed in helping keeping Cybertron protected from external threads and keeping the peace in situations the common Cybertronian Officer could not handle alone. Resentful, Onyx began joining in on riots, raids, and attacks on certain buildings and cities where Maixmals were most heavily populated. When not participating in such gatherings or doing his job in keeping the peace, Onyx often joined in on the illegal fighting circuits to keep his skills sharp and prevent himself from going insane with boredom.
Joining these fights earned the mech further scars, especially the distinct three claw-like marks across his face during one nasty fight that resulted in a draw on both sides. During the course of these activities, Onyx found himself jailed a few times but ignored the warnings he was given every time, returning to his usual routine up until word was spreading of far more elaborate gatherings of ambitious leaders within the Predacon Alliance, some disenfranchised with the Tripedicus Council dragging their feet to act. Initially, Onyx had intended to come to one such gathering himself but upon trying to sneak away from his post, authorities came for the bulky mech for further violations being uncovered.
Given no choice, Onyx was forcibly reverted back to a protoform until a proper punishment was administered. Though, a few weeks later, the Axalon crew was scheduled for departure and Onyx was one of those loaded onto the ship. It would be months before Onyx was awakened from his pod, sometime after the Planet Buster had knocked the stasis pods out of orbit and he wound up joining with Megatron and his band of renegades, at first assuming Megatron had the Predacon faction's best interests at spark. But as events have progressed, Onyx has come to realize Megatron's own ambitions are simply that: grand visions of his own design and his alone, even to the point of tampering with time itself. Disgusted by how far Megatron has been willing to go, Onyx turned his back upon this band of Predacons and reluctantly decided to join the Maximals under Optimus Primal's leadership.
Onyx is somewhat of an oddity among Predacons, mostly by the fact he is calm and level headed, rarely allowing his temper to show beyond annoyance. Although, he is not above showing it and speaking his mind. By extension, Onyx isn't afraid to question tactics and authority, mostly when he is skeptical about a plan working or how a situation is playing out, more than willing to speak his mind or act on his own accord. Loyalty also is not a clear-cut concept for Onyx who has found these loyalties often tested and swung from one way to the next, causing him to be cautious and take things slow before he throws all his support behind someone, which is rare. Regardless, he fights fiercely for what he believes in and will gladly compromise with others in order to achieve these beliefs and his goals, even if that means being branded a traitor by others. Underneath the fierce exterior though, Onyx has learned to appreciate the simple things in life devoid of political and economic strife seen with his home, having a soft spot and appreciation for other worldly life, admitting to few that he finds such alien life fascinating in their own weird way.
WEAPONS/ABILITIES:
-Friction Rifle: Onyx's main ranged weapon which fires special rounds filled with a fluid that will cause the area struck by the round to spontaneously combust due to air resistance from sudden movement and can burn up to three minutes, causing areas to melt or heat up and become weakened.
-LAser Pistol: A hand-held weapon usually holstered on his left hip, this weapon fires concentrated beams of energy that is a little weaker than some weapons but still capable of scorching armor and doing some damage.
-Arm Blades: Located in his wrists, Onyx has two retractable blades extending about as long as his forearm with serrated edges and are his only melee weapons on hand.
WEAKNESSES:
-Onyx is somewhat nimble and agile on his feet, but his large and slightly bulky size does make him slower than some individuals.
-For Onyx, he relies a lot on his strength and endurance in battle, preferring to use brute force and fighting up close and personal with his enemies, leaving him open to long-range attacks or being overpowered by others.
-Onyx also has the flaw of being rather stubborn and unrelenting, often pushing past his limits in combat or other activities, putting him at risk of exhausting himself or becoming seriously injured.
SAMPLE POST:
Onyx watched the battle field from his position, his side sparking from some damage he had gotten from a stray shot though from where he hadn't seen. Things have heated up with the Maximals as each side wanted the location for a cash of energon, a decent sized one at that which was beneath their feet and in some places energon crystals were visible, just agonizingly teasing the bots to come and get. Onyx himself considered trying to get a few but it was too risky with no proper tools for extracting them from the hard, baked earth in this area close to the desert. Sighing the black, bulky equine came from around the boulder he had used for cover and began to fire his laser pistol with one hand while holding his sparking side with another.
Sometimes being on the front lines was a risky job, throwing yourself out before most others and could even be killed if not careful. Well Onyx wasn't there to be careful, he was there to force these maximal slag heaps to leave yet they were hard headed or very determined to get this energon deposit as much as the Predacons. It could be a bit frustrating really. Growling a bit the stallion mech tossed his pistol aside and instead charged head long for the nearest enemy, swords sliding out from his wrists and slashing at his opponent not really carrying to know their name, as if he wouldn't eventually. Though it was a rash decision that earned him more blows to the shoulder, chest, and his knee, weakening his advances to attack.
Finally the radiation hit however and he gritted his metal teeth knowing he had no other choice, "Beast mode!" He commanded aloud, voice deep and gravely but also in pain. After transforming he backed off the maximal and trotted back towards his comrades though had a slight limp in his back leg and it seemed the battle was still raging at the time. For now he would have to let his dampers recharge before he could rejoin or they Predacons could very well just give up this time.
And since starshadow's character had a similar ability, I'm going to allow this, especially since you've made it clear how it's not his primary weapon and it could have side effects.
