“Place brawn before brains and victory is yours.”
Profile: A one-robot wrecking crew, Squeezeplay rarely stops to think
as he charges into battle. He’s not stupid by any means; he simply doesn’t believe
there exists a foe or an object that can stand in his way. Terrifying and relentless,
the sight of Squeezeplay has unnerved some of the coolest Autobots. With slashing,
crushing claws and needle-sharp armor-piercing fangs, Squeezeplay has more than
enough might to back up his ‘unstoppable’ claim. He doesn’t rely on cunning
or tactics, thinking these things weak. Might is everything to Squeezeplay,
and he has no time for thinkers. Detesting weakness in any form, Squeezeplay
makes enemies within his own ranks as easily as he makes them outside. Like
his sometime battle partner Fangry, he needs no telling. If the enemy is in
sight, it is there to be crushed… and he’s just the robot to do it. His Nebulan
partner, Lokos, is a hardened criminal, specializing in smuggling and air piracy.
He revels in Squeezeplay’s power and steers it towards personal advancement.
As long as Squeezeplay gets his fill of chaos and carnage, he’s content to let
Lokos indulge himself. It doesn’t quite suit Lokos’s sneaky nature, but when
you’ve the might of Squeezeplay on tap – who cares?
Abilities: Very strong and armed with an overrider blaster that overloads
and blows out electrical circuits, Squeezeplay is a force to be reckoned with
in robot mode. But it still pales before his crab mode. Dense armor plating
and titanium-reinforced claws that can slice through almost any substance make
Squeezeplay a deadly opponent. He uses his tail as a metal-rending mace. At
home on land or deep underwater, Squeezeplay is an expert at deep-sea sabotage,
able to resist vast ocean pressures.
Weaknesses: Squeezeplay has almost no actual weaknesses, but he is by
no means indestructible. His refusal to believe anyone can harm him could be
a literally fatal flaw.
