FACTION:
Al'tyr, Autobot (What is Al'tyr? What is an Al'tyrz? More stories to come on that!)

ALT-MODE:
Cybertronian Hovercraft

WEAPONS:
Rifle with two barrles for different modes. The upper barrel is used for sniping, usually with projectile, either charged or not charged. The lower barrel fires energy bolts that has a limited range with an adjustable rate of fire. Two batons, fists and wits.

ABILITES:
With a chameleon ability, Dusty can blend with any terrian he finds himself. Though he has the ability to have a multitude of colors at one time, he cannot do textures good enough to give any of his disguise the 'real looks' to them.
Having a mental link with his batons allows Dusty complete control over them, allowing him to 'recall' them back to him whenever he throws them or they fall on the ground and he needs them. This mental link also allows him to be consitently aware of where they are and what their condition is (damage, speed, etc). This allows him to reflextivly grab them on their return without having to look or think about it. He also has a mental link to the batons' join band, giving all the commands through the link.
In robot mode he can use the turbine engines in his heels to fly in the air with the aid of his air-fins, though it is not as elegent as a born flier.

Click here for a bigger picture of the one above, without any color plus a top view. These were drawn and colored by my brother, Klick, who created Dusty. So far it looks like this will be the final drastic change to Dusty's vehicle shape, no guarantee on any little details though.  

Dusty's Evolution
	And just to show you that we didn't think up Dusty's mode in one night and that was that, here's a little animation of the five versions (the simple looking one is the first design, and you know the last) he went through, each one being the "final" one - until Klick thought of a cooler alt-mode.

Double Barrel Rifle

This is what Dusty's gun looks like. The top barrel fires projectiles, and is extremely good at long range sniping. The bottom gun-barrel fires energy, with the ability to change rate of fire and how much power is in each shot.

Batons

Drawing courtesy of Klick, coloring in color pencils by me. This is what Dusty's batons look like now. The length runs along the forearm, while the spear point goes past the hands, which are in the enclosed area grabbing the leather-like handle.

With the join band (not pictured, usually kept in sub-space), Dusty can connect the two batons together. He can then have the join band extend, effectivly turning the joined objects into a staff. Or he can have one of the batons disconnect with an energy line connecting it to the join band. He can then throw the one baton and have it hook on something and then pull it towards him or (in the case of like a wall or cliff) pull himself up the rope.

Okay, now that you know about Dusty, why don't you read about him -- if you haven't already.
Megatron's Master Plan Gets Dusty. Don't forget to leave feedback if you are at all inclined! I get lots of my inspiration from it.
