Because we all need mentally screwed up neutrals with an even more screwed up past. Creator/Host for the other neutral cassettes.
And I still have a lot of work to do on all of them before they're complete.
Primus, I really, really hope I didn't make him into a Stue
Eclipse
Alt Mode: F-19 Black Diamond/Alien Dragon Thing
Faction: Neutral
Type: Transformer/Triple changer
Gender: Mech
Optics: Purple
Height: 25 ft.
Description: Black as pitch with the underlying metal having a sheen to it, almost like blue steel. It amuses him to no end other species reactions to what he calls ‘shiny pebbles’ so he decorates himself with rather rare and impressive pieces of gems and other jewels. Digitigrades legs with five grasping, and quite deadly, claws. His abdomen is covered in copper colored armor that closely resembles the belly scales of a snake. A long whip like tail that can be used as a fifth hand, or a weapon (the tip can separate into four pincher like graspers).
His helm has a pointed tip that looks like the beak of a bird with two curving ram horns covered in glyphs and stemming from his audios are a fan of feathers. He has a mask and visor as protection while exploring uncharted areas. ‘Cause you never really know what you’re going to find on a new planet. His wings are these strange down swept curved things with his nose wings pointing up perched on the top joints of the larger two and the smaller aft wings between them, that can be switched with the wings from his second alt mode. Four arms since it’s so much easier to multitask with more limbs.
Okay, other than the four arms, legs, tail, wings, visor and mask, I have no solid idea what he looks like because he keeps on changing his Primus damned mind on me. *sulks* The jewels are also being scrapped since they're not an integral part of his appearance and are later used as a plot device in a fic.
Personality: Has been told he has the patient of a saint, especially when it comes to training others. When it comes to others and their glitches(personality) he’s of the philosophy that so long as it doesn’t cause any major problems, be really just doesn’t care. Mostly apathetic to a lot of things outside of those he cares for, even though he doesn’t mean to. Though he firmly believes in learning things the hard way, so if you start a fight with other students or get in over your head, don’t expect him to do much more than sit back and enjoy the show. He has a fascination with everything about him and how it all works. Would much rather spend his spare time reading a book or experimenting than anything else. Tends to plant himself in a corner and watch everything about him. Sometimes for days, and all just for his curiosity. Largely a peaceful and very quiet mech. In fact, he talks so little that many think him mute. Enjoys sharing his knowledge with others. Though he does have a very dry sense of humor and a sarcastic streak a mile long. The simple pleasures in life are what he holds dear and what is a reward for him after a long cycle of endless work.
However, he has a little problem, he calls it a glitch. He keeps it hidden and buried under layers of security and firewalls. He suspects that, for whatever reason, his creator tried to make him a sleeper agent. It didn’t work out. So now he has moments where the impulses and emotions that are usually kept under check by such things as rational and ethics bubble up to the surface. He’s learned to let these emotions have some sort of outlet lest they build to a point where they can’t be controlled anymore. While he’s always polite, the more refined, cool and standoffish his manners become, the more you can tell he’s closer to losing it.
Other: He has set up a strong hold for himself somewhere. No one’s really sure where it is though, it has his vast collection of items he’s gathered together over the many years of his travels. Cassette host/creator like Soundwave. Unafraid to get dirty or hang around in the more unsavory areas. The whole pod has a wide range of connections because of their neutrality. However, they also have many enemies just because of their neutral status. He doesn’t have the most powerful of weapons, typically relying on one hit kills and hand-to-hand combat. Also, people tend to think that his silence means it’s okay for them to jabber away at him, usually useful information is found but can get really annoying really quickly. He is attempting to learn the human art of parkour. It's slow going since he has to adapt the style to his body type. After all, humans never thought a creature with wings, four arms and a tail would be studying it.

Armageddon Helm F-19 Stealth Fighter F-19 Stealth I'm really not sure which design I like more, especially since this aircraft doesn't truly exist and thus could look like anything.
Occupation: Explorer/Scientist/Astronomy
Tools/Weapons: Sniper rifle, myriad tools for experimenting and exploring/Plasma cannon, stun staff, mostly prefers unarmed hand-to-hand combat(like a monk) Prefers using Diffusion as his main fighting style but also dabbles in Metallikato every once in a while.
Preferred Generation: Any really but mostly Movie or G1. If in G1, his cockpit will change a little to resemble a recording door and act much like Soundwave’s or Blaster’s does.
History: He’s old. Very old, even if he doesn’t look like it. Many things about him are shrouded in mystery, mainly because he likes it that way. But sometimes because even he doesn’t know the answers. Like who his Creator was. Spent almost his entire life away from Cybertron, studying other planets and species. When the war started he was gone on some far reaching exploration trip, nearly on the other side of the galaxy. By the time he even first heard of the conflict, the war had already reached a fevered pitch. So you can understand that he was reasonably confused when he first heard of the war. (Didn’t help that the first Transformers he met were Decepticons.) He can go between the sides with relative ease mainly because they know he won’t interfere with them. The only time he will ever interfere is if he truly believes he should, mainly when a truly helpless opponent is attacked. Unfortunately for us, he thinks humans are quite capable of defending themselves, they just need a little push. And that is being provided for by the Autobots.
