GENERAL INFO
Personality: Sunburst wears their designation very well. The warm, sweet, enthusiastic bot can explode in fits of blinding rage in an instant. They prefer to be alone, the company of others always putting Sunburst on edge. The Mini-con wear their kindness like an armour to deflect any kind of questions about themselves. A tragic past being the common denominator for their race, Sunburst is no exception. They hide the pain from their past behind a caring but sassy personality, hiding their spark and refusing to link with anyone. Sunburst prefers to roam the underbelly of ships, repairing and fixing huge complex machines, any nook or crannies where they can hide in the dark. Working is the most important thing for Sunburst, if they’re not doing something productive, they get prone to moodiness and anger. Sunburst prefers the company of non-sentient machines to any fellow Cybertronians. Humans are fun at least, their machines so diverse and complex and their smaller size making them easy to use for the mini-con. Sunburst has rarely shown their root mode, preferring the smaller and faster round frame that allows them to zoom away from any danger with speed and dexterity. While they might not be the brightest bot in the ‘Con ranks, Sunburst’s speed allows them to process large amounts of data for repairs diagnosis, making them a clever and dangerous bot to make as an enemy. The downside is that Sunburst can get obsessed with plans or projects, neglecting everything in favour of finishing whatever is occupying their processor.
Weapons:
Grappling Spike Launcher - Liquid cable launchers fired from their various ports. Helps navigate rough terrain and getting unstuck. Wrapped around a bot’s arms or legs they constrict any movements.
Welding torch - With their small size and wide knowledge of ships, Sunburst is often sent into tight places to make repairs other bot can’t get easy access to. Their welding torch can cut through any metal, making it a very dangerous weapon.
Holoprojector - Sunburst can use their optic to display information they gathered, schematics or battle plans. They also use the projections for distraction and camouflage.
Arc welder - Taser that discharges a current powerful enough to knock out any bot bothering them too much.

PERSONAL INFO
Family: None
Mate: None
History: “Bombs do not choose. They will hit everything.”
As a descendent of Micronus Prime, Sunburst shares their creator’s kindness and curiosity. Their main purpose being a repair bot, the Mini-con took it at heart and devoted their entire spark to this purpose. Never questioning orders or assignments, cheerfully doing their tasks. Sunburst was not even aware of the war or the factions, hidden away in the dark, caring only for tasks after tasks.
Everything changed when the ship went down. Teletraan-1 offline, Masters offline. What was Sunburst to do? The curious bot ventured out of the underbelly, optics blinded by the sun when they cut open the panel that led them outside.
Freedom.
With glee, Sunburst rolled away into the sunset to explore Earth’s many curiosities. Their life went on as they took a human holoform, blissfully unaware of the Autobots and Decepticons waging war.
The merry exploration came to an abrupt end when Sunny stumbled into the Spacebridge. The Mini-con felt like their purpose had called them to that spot, their whole destiny being at this precise moment at this precise location: to repair the Spacebridge. Shedding their human Holoform, Sunburst went in with glee, deep into the circuitry, working on fixing the thing that would bring everyone home! What a good job they were doing.
Until the explosion.
Sunburst barely survived the destruction, rolling out of the rubble weeks later, systems almost shutting down as they had to turn into root mode to drag their mangled frame in a safe spot.
Coming back online, Sunny felt something new for the first time in their existence: Rage.
Rage at the Autobots and Decepticon for destroying the Spacebridge. For not caring that they had been inside trying to repair the stupid thing. They laid in their hidden spot for a long time, repairs going slowly. When Sunny was back at 100%, the bot took their human Holoform again, and swore to never show their true form to anyone.
The first thing Sunny stumbled into was Autobot city. They integrated the society, their repair skills too useful for the Cybertronians to pass up on. Sunny made a shop in a dark, secluded corner of the city, repairing anyone that dared come to them. Few have seen their alt-mode, Sunny easily explaining their alt-mode was in fact only a human made toy, and none had questioned it.
Sunny took the time to learn about Cybertron, its history, the numerous wars, and only ended up even more enraged by the whole thing. So they had just been a tool. Something to be used by Bots bigger than them? Never having picked a side before, Sunny knew in their Spark that the Decepticons were in the right, he wanted to go back to Cybertron, not waste away with a group that non only used them but wanted to restore the order that enslaved them?
Sunny would not be a passive bot that stands by this time. As the human says: “Time to fuck shit up.”
