One of the few beast Transmorphers that actually has a vehicle mode as well: Proto-X’s were a scientific experiment that went awry on Cybertopia. In an attempt to replicate the immortal spark of the Star-screamer species the first Proto-X was continuously torn apart and pieced back together with their own life force tampered with in an attempt to make immortality a direct possibility for all Transmorphers. On the one hand: the experiments WERE a success and the Transmorphers were able to apply it to every one of them(Explaining why they won’t die of old age) They also completely destroyed the mind of the original Proto-X, leaving it a deranged creature devoid of thought, ready to lash out at anything . In an attempt to get rid of Proto-X it was dumped through a portal into our world(By complete coincidence of course) and It laid dormant there in a stasis pod for many millions of years. When the recent Demon Lord took over and demonic Energy began to spread around the world, the stasis pod containing Proto-X got hit with a relatively large burst, thus resulting in manamoification and a partial restoration of sanity. And once she awoke and found a man,.... well: her species multiplied until it’s at the state it is today, with them slowly recuperating their minds enough to be able to live among humans and manamo normally(If they choose to)
As it is Proto-X’s are still quite rare: even rarer than Lilims: it is estimated that only around 60 live at this time, a number that many people would probably consider a good thing. Physically speaking Proto-X’s appear as large metallic Cancers with two large claws hanging off their back, almost resembling a sort of cape. As one would expect: their alternate mode is that of a near gigantic land-crab with gargantuan front claws: often equal in size with a Dragon scale-wise. Predictably: in alternate mode they possess immense power: with a single smack of their claw on the ground being strong enough to cause a minor earthquake, with the claws themselves being able to tear apart nearly anything in their grip(Although they can still hold and grip things as well) Aside from their Crab mode Proto-X’s DO have another alternate mode: a bizarre sort of crab-tank, equipped with a three barreled missile launcher strong enough to break through a house with one shot. Also worth noting is that because of the experimentation that was done to them: physical attacks are largely ineffective towards them, meaning that magic or energy based attacks would most likely have the best chance of damaging one.
While it was mentioned before that in this day-and-age that the mental damage done to the Proto-X’s has largely been repaired, several major traces remain. For starters: even today they are slightly unhinged, often claiming that they could snap at any moment and kill everything around them, and other threatening terms. It is usually not to be expected for one to ever try and lighten the mood except for telling a few twisted jokes(That usually only make sense to themselves). Not to mention that aside from threatening people and trying to worsen any situation is that aside from these times they usually have a bored demeanor with nearly everything they do: and they certainly won’t try to help others: often being uncooperative and lethargic towards anyone who claims to be their superior. And as soon as attention is turned away from them though: they will often attempt to slink off and try to relieve their boredom in whatever twisted ways they had planned.
While these habits may make the Proto-X’s seem like horrible creatures: there IS a softer side to them. Due to their tortured past they always seem to have a sympathetic view towards creatures or people who seem to be treated cruelly by scientists or anything of that nature. In fact: when the topic is even brought up, they almost always shake with rage: believing that no one deserves to be used for any scientific purposes like they were. Even if science is not involved: they always seem to take a side with the tortured souls: those that were mistreated throughout their lives. During these times, the Porot-X shows an almost motherly protectiveness towards such people, and offers them a place with her. Surprisingly: many people will usually flock towards the Proto-X, and the group essentially becomes almost like an extended family, with the Proto-X being at the forefront for anyone who needs a big, dangerous protector to cower behind.
When it comes to things like males and mating to the Proto-X, they usually don’t care: viewing it as something not worth their time. Should there be a male coming to her for protection she will immediately allow him to join their group. While normally the male will be left with any of her subordinates, if the male has something special about him, the Proto-X with take a special interest in him, and start to spend large amounts of time with him, almost stalking him with constant observation of his movements and habits. While this may seem odd to any onlookers the Proto-X doesn’t see anything wrong with it, in fact; she usually thinks that she’s just watching out for one of her own, not realizing that it’s in fact her falling in love with him. After a time of this she actively starts to understand that she’s falling in love and, while these emotions are usually not worth much to her: she will never seem to get those feelings out of her mind or body for long, and soon she will start to yearn for him, her claws constantly clicking together out of a need to embrace him. Literally the moment he next comes into her vision while the Proto-X is in this state, she will grab him and take him somewhere safe. But astonishingly, she doesn’t attack him any more after that: the two are simply...alone. Once they are like this the Proto-X will tell the man of her affections to him and almost always braces his rejection: seemingly awaiting the entirely new type of pain her species has now endured. However: when the man actually accepts her(This usually happens by the way) at first her reaction will be that of pure shock, then: their entire bodies will seem to radiate joy, and they will happily rush at him to copulate with their love.
When mating the Proto-X always seems to be attempting to be the one in control, constantly moving on him and trying to wring everything out of him: this usually backfires on the Proto-X though: often making her so delirious with pleasure that her mate can easily take control of the situation and do whatever he wishes with her(Within reason). Eventually though the Proto-X will usually regain herself and then attempt again, starting the cyccle all over again.
After the mating The Proto-X’s treatment of him will not particularly change much: she will still try to spend every waking moment of her time with him, but she will also try to continuously try to show her love to him in any way she can, no matter what. They will still lead their little groups though: and they will still protect any of their subordinates like family, but if any of them are unmarried women(Manamo or human) she will often recommend that they try to be with their husband, only asking in return that they be mindful of his wishes. If they happen to be ignored when their husband goes after the other women though, they will get billigerent, and their tempermant will return to how it was normally.
(Well, this one didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to. When I first started to make this manamo I thought I’d make it pure yandere with how the Beast Wars Rampage always was, but then i remembered his sweet relationship with Transmutate in the cartoon, and I decided to go more with that soter concept...Hope you guys like it!
