Flamewar


Flamewar is a Decepticon, fighting against Optimus Prime and the Autobots. She takes particular ire with Acree and Windblade, going as far as to stalk them with the intent to kill. She can transform into a motorcycle and seems generally best with her energon bow. While she has had multiple failures on her back, her greatest success was teaming up with Starscream to kill a mutinying group of Decepticon pirates. She is firm in her beliefs against the autobots, seeing themselves as an oppressed minority driven to terrorism.


Flamewar is a character that plays somewhat similarly to Optimus but lacks the tie-in gimmick and is generally focused on flashier and speedier attacks. Her motorcycle form can be used for shredding up foes or faster travel across the platform, with an emphasis on heavy attacks with a lot of lag during their use, making them unsafe to use. Flamewar also carries a energon bow that can be expanded in both size and power by holding down the button.

Moveset
Ion Blade
Flamewar attacks with a blue energy blade that can fire off ground based projectiles if it doesn't connect with a opponent. Physical attacks deal 8 damage while the ground based projectiles deal 5-2 damage depending on the distance, weakening with more distance traveled. Rev Up
Flamewar transforms into a motorcycle, able to travel forward in the direction she's facing until she reaches a ledge or can slam into a opponent, dealing 13-17 damage with a attack with extended lag frames, launching them upwards as she pops a wheelie and attacks with the front tire.
Tidal Wave
Flamewar puts on Cannonball's helmet (a Decepticon pirate that attempted to take Starscream's Spark) and punts her head upwards, water releasing from fins from her shoulders that pop out. She can use this move as an extra jump as well as launching the opponent significantly upwards in the air for 11 damage. Energon Bow
Flamewar readies a bow created out of energon pieces. Hold down on the attack button to charge up the bow and add on more Energon pieces, building up the bow to be bigger and more powerful. At the smallest size, it will deal 6 damage and flinch opponents, but can deal up to 22 damage and significant knock-back.
Finishers
Flamewar's Ship
Level 1
Flamewar summons her ship into battle which she remotely detonates using the special attack button to deal 15 or 30 damage if sweet-spotted. It causes great knockback but can be tricky to time and space as it descends at a slight downwards diagonal but moves across the screen in the direction she was facing at the time of activation. It also locks off her special attacks until she detonates it.
Emerging Hasbro
Level 2
Flamewar attacks with some of her Hasbro merchandise. She begins with a plastic lightsaber attack, dealing 13 damage, then attacks with a flurry of Nerf bullets which deal 3 damage each, before finishing off with a giant Beyblade that can deal 2 damage in a loop, spinning for 4-7 seconds.
Nightracer
Level 3
Flamewar summons Nightracer to attack alongside her. Nightracer attacks with twin blasters and plays aggressively while moving away from the opponent if they attempt to approach her. Nightracer has 45 health of her own, and her blaster shots cause flinching and deal 4 damage. She can stay as long as a full minute but will disappear if all her health is taken.

When Flamewar is caught by Rogue, she is kissed on the lips.

Insight
Flamewar's secret is revealed.

Flamewar has two sisters she doesn't know about. This is a reference to her development history, where she was only one of three biker Decepticons that eventually got pared down to just Flamewar.

Testimony
Saul Goodman gives a testimony for his client.
Your honor, my client is not responsible for the actions they carried out under the Decepticon Leader Megatron- the power imbalance should be clear to anyone with a brain. Besides, we should be friendly and more forgiving to our alien guests- if they screw up a couple times, it shouldn't matter! Let's be good hosts, huh? Throw this case out.
