 A member of the Technos, Afterburns appear as orange and black Mantids. Unlike their biological basis though: their arm-blades are flexible, and don’t do nearly as much damage to those that they attack, this is because they actually form the wheels of their alt-mode(That being a futuristic motorcycle.), by folding around into a loop: creating the wheels. As members of the Technos Afterburns are capable of combining with the other four into the gestalt Computora, forming the right arm.

 While many limb-bots of a combiner team may be slightly violent, or downright dangerous, Afterburns take the cake: being the most vicious out of all of them, Autob or Deceptor. Literally: every word they speak is dripped with venomous contempt towards anyone, while those that either insult one or attempt to attack an Afterburn will face one of the most painful experiences of their lives, courtesy of the Afterburner turning into their alt-mode and grinding one of her wheels against their bodies for several minutes; usually long enough for there to be visible wounds, and only tthe screaming of the one they are attacking is usually enough.Despite the past description though: it’s not like they’re simply malicious for the sake of being malicious: when they were created by a manamo known as Grimlocke, the first Afterburner’s personality chip wasn’t coded correctly: thus leading the only primary emotions they can feel to be anger and disgust. There is an upside to this though: the Afterburner is able to restrain herself enough to function in public, and even when the other Technos anger her a Afterburner will never attempt to harm one of their teammates, the fact that they are able to combine with the others into Computora without adversely affecting the gestalts mind is proof enough of their “Softer” side.

 While many would think that due to their personalities, they would attempt to avoid humans at all costs, in actuality though: it’s quite different. Perhaps due to their normal berserker nature, a special sort of fail-safe was installed into them when their species was originally manamoified: to keep them from harming humans(As they require human men for sustenance.), So they have an almost instinctive aversion to harming humans(Unless provoked of course.), so humans almost never see them enraged as most Transmorphers do, making it easier for the Afterburn to claim a husband.

 When it comes to romance an Afterburn is about as elegant as a bull in a china shop, and they often are unable to court anyone with their habits...so they rely on other means: if they happen to be around humans and a male attempts to attack or anger one, she will attack him and brutalize him as one would expect, but while doing so they will also feel another desire, unrelated to any of their anger issues: an intense, raging desire to copulate with the man they’ve just incapacitated. So: they will then take him quickly to a safe place to mate(The man is usually either unconscious or too weak from her beating to fight back.), and they will begin copulation.

 After the deed the Afterburner will then basically hold her new husband at gunpoint to enter a harem with her and the other Techno’s, and the 6 will become married. A married Afterburner immediately lets other manamo(Aside from the other Technos) that he’s off limits by by etching her wheel pattern onto a part of his body permanently, as a sort of testament that he belongs to that particular group of Technos, and should he attempt to break off and go after more women, she will be more than willing to “Punish” him into never trying such a thing again.

 (Okay…..Not one of my best ones…..In all honesty: the original G1 character was as far from a manamo in temperament as most of the worst Decepticons, so I had to improvise a bit...sorry if this one isn’t as good but here you go...If you like this one then feel free to leave any thoughts or worthwhile criticisms down below! If you want to go to the main Transmorphers page to either look up the lore or just see more species, here’s the link; Link!!)
