Player: TealDeer Character: Christobel Starsky / Starscream Reason for Echo: Plot Echo: THAT'S NO MOON, IT'S A GIANT FRIGGIN SNAKE on the 29th. Type and tier: Tier 2, physical changes What is returned: Christobel fully becomes a Cybertronian. She will remain the same size as she is now (about 5'6"), but her body is now fully mechanical. She no longer needs to breathe; however, she still "sleeps" (enters a recharge phase), though she only needs about four to six hours of recharge instead of eight. She needs energon for sustenance, but thanks to a previous Echo she can easily synthesize it with the right tools, and can "eat" other sources of energy, such as electricity, fossil fuels, etc; she can even eat human food in an emergency, but this will be super gross tasting and cause her to feel sick. All these sources are far less efficient (and tasty) to her than pure energon.
If she's fighting/exerting herself she needs to "eat" once a day, consuming about as much energy as a Tesla roadster needs to recharge to full. If she's not using her alt mode and is basically just walking around doing normal stuff (not flying, shooting lasers, etc) she only needs to charge once a month.
Christobel also gets an alternate mode (technically, she already has one, as she can use a synthetic skin to pass as human; that's from a previous echo): a small human-sized drone fighter. It's kind of weird and alien looking; triangular in shape. Think a sleeker, less chubby version of this thing: http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/3/3c/TitaniumHeroesWWStarscream_toy.jpg
The main advantage of her alternate mode is that she can fly faster and is more maneuverable; she can also pass as a normal military aircraft, maybe. She can use her weapons in this mode, but obviously has no hands. If a character is very, very small (less than 1ft tall) she has a small pressurized cockpit area that somebody could ride in, but good luck convincing her to let you do that.
