Character name: Carnivac Character canon: Transformers (IDW continuity) Canon point: Post-Sins Of The Wreckers Physical Description: In his alt mode, he resembles a regular wolf with white fur. In his normal form, though, he's a large brown robot with wolf-like features, blue skin and red eyes. (the angry looking one in the front here) About the Character: Carnivac is an ex-cop who once worked with fellow comrade Stakeout under Ultra Magnus during the time of the war between Autobots and Decepticons. They attempted to bring justice across both sides, but after some time Carnivac defected to the Decepticons.
Once the war ended, Carnivac was left with an anger at those that commanded from both sides, and towards the "ruling class" of the war; those who were not footsoldiers, but comfortably sitting and sending others to do the dirty work. His sense of justice and desire for change had him establish an underground group called Mayhem, planning to spark revolution by first taking out Prowl: high ranking autobot and war criminal. Allying himself with the mad scientist Tarantulas, he and his other members received bio-disguises that allowed them to transform and mimic earth animals.
During this operation he was reunited with Stakeout...in his final moments before death. Staying at his side until he passed, Carnivac provided him reassurance that his friends were safe, and that he feels that- despite the fact they are no longer on the same path together- he is going on the right one. Though he had lost one of his allies, Polar Claw, shortly beforehand, he is more concerned by Stakeout's death; Polar Claw knew the situation he was getting into, and the cause he was dying for, whilst Stakeout did not (as well as being a much older friend to him).
Despite them being dispatched to go against him, Carnivac shows little animosity towards the elite strike team of the Wreckers. He offers them the chance to ally with Mayhem, to work together towards change for the better. He doesn't care for killing them (killing without reason or remorse makes him no better than those he condemns) but sees that it may be a necessary measure to take to reach his goal. He's not one to blindly run into battle, but wait from the sidelines until it is appropriate and necessary to fight, and he just as well knows when to run from a fight too, believing it to be better to regroup and live to further the cause than die clinging to some flimsy belief of honor. Mayhem managed to avoid death by fleeing Tarantulas' Hell Dimension The Noisemaze and collapsing it behind them, unfortunately trapping Tarantulas inside.
Though they succeeded in initially kidnapping Prowl, their mission ultimately failed due to both the intervention of the Wreckers, and Tarantulas going off on his own and making the whole thing about his relationship drama with Prowl, who he apparently fathered a child with, and he left that child to die and trapped Tarantulas in the Noisemaze and also that child is the Wrecker, Springer (Carnivac absolutely did not sign up for this at ALL). It wasn't a complete failure as, even though they lost Polar Claw, they recruited the Impactor into their ranks, ready to start again with his allyship.
He tries to maintain an appearance of being cool and collected, but is often one to slip and let his emotions break that exterior. Usually these emotions are anger or annoyance, especially towards his teammates being embarrassing in front of the people he's trying to intimidate and fight. The impression he makes on others might be a little important to him, and he tries to keep it to this "cold rational lone wolf" type as much as possible, though around his teammates he's more at ease to show his true feelings. Anger is pretty much his most prominent, driving emotion, and though it's often from frustration, the anger that pushes him in life and achieving his goals comes from a place of compassion for his fellow man, believing that they deserve a better world than the war has left them with, believing they deserve a better future than it has given to them.
He has no strong opinions towards humans, unlike some cybertronians, he's rather apathetic to humanity. However, because Stakeout became close with human Verity Carlo, and she went into battle beside the Wreckers, he does have some respect for the guts that they can show. He, most likely, regrets that their planet was ever involved in the cybertronian's conflict. It's not something he's willing to let happen again, and may be a part of why Mayhem stationed themselves in a remote part of Alaska and away from most civilization.
Character abilities: As an outlier, he has a special ability: his howl forcibly transforms any cybertronian hit by it. It doesn't have any effect on other lifeforms, aside from being an annoyance.
He can also turn into his wolf form, which shields his "spark"; essentially giving readings of being a Regular Earth Wolf to anyone who might scan it.
Inventory:
- Blaster - (Now defunct) communication device. - That's pretty much it. He's a wolf of few possessions.
