-Character Info-
Name: Layby
Age : 50s
Gender : Mech
Species: Cybertronian
Faction: Neutral
Original Occupation: Fire support, Cybertronian Planetary Defense Force
Occupation/Specialization: Freelance security and barkeeper.
Appearance/Altmode: Layby is a typically designed PDF, constructed cold with a thick, stocky frontliner’s frame and armor designed to take significant punishment. Deep blue with green highlights and trim, his paintjob is heavily scarred and scuffed with a history of violence. A thick scar runs from the outside of one optic and through his classy smile. He stands at shoulder height to Fortress Maximus. His altmode is a M1200 Armored Knight, but he has opted to keep his own colours over the sandy beige.
Personality: A very social mech, Layby is a steady and certain presence in any group. He has a sharp sense of humour and is game for a joke, but his pedes are always firm on the ground. He is naturally protective, and is quietly and constantly ready for violence. Layby values manners and honesty, but is not so myopic as to expect them.
History: Layby spent very little time on his homeworld, his squadron within the Planetary Defense Force tasked with securing resources and putting down threats to Cybertron's way of life. When those threats began coming from Cybertron itself and the Senate directed the non-civilian military to fire on their own people, those they were spark-coded to protect above all else, Layby shorted out. The Planetary Defense Force were placed under Autobot Command, and he followed Prime as an extension of Cybertron's last legitimate ruling body. As the civil war blazed on and the planet turned dark, he became completely disillusioned.
After the Exodus, Layby handed in his badge and abandoned the fight altogether. He retreated to the scattered Neutral colonies, spending centuries constantly moving on as planets and sectors were claimed by the opposing sides and the unalligned registered as a thread. Layby found a place enforcing order in tentatively held DMZs, throwing out Decepticons and Autobots alike, and made a living as a freelance enforcer.
He met Cleaver on Rigel 6, and has remained by her side as cohort ever since. On Earth, he has found himself on the other side of a bar in the Haven DMZ, but won't hesitate to jump the barrier if there's a fight needs breaking up.
Likes: Honest work, socialising, good energon, renovation projects, dogs, literature, big explosions, monster trucks, mud running, friendly gambling.
Dislikes: Cruelty, arrogance, seagulls, prolonged solitude, excessively neat spaces, conspiracy theories.
Strengths/Weapons: Big, heavy and stubbornly strong, Layby is a grappler first and foremost. He specialises in close-combat and neutralizing combatants by denting, breaking or removing the offensive parts.Though he is no longer a soldier, Layby has kept the two energy blasters housed in his forearms.
Weaknesses: Layby accelerates slowly and isn’t particularly fast when he does get to his top speed. He can evasively throw his body around, but he isn’t agile or nimble. He is also susceptible to manipulation if someone he considers a charge or cohort is threatened. This is reflected physically by his shiftable armour, designed to flare and protect other mechs from fire, but at the risk of exposing himself.
Special skills
* Pack pony: Layby’s role in the Defense Force was to carry equipment and ammunition, so he has a lot of integrated storage in his frame and can comfortably tow great weights. As a result, his engine is adapted to greater torque and low-end power rather than speed.
