Profile: Getaway is a survivor who uses everything at his disposal to get out of dangerous situations. He’s passionate and daring when it comes to his cause, but his greatest asset is his ability to stay absolutely cool under pressure. In situations that would have other Autobots pulling out their own wires in a panic, Getaway calmly and confidently takes stock of things and weighs the pros and cons of every course of action until he comes up with the optimal solution. He does this so quickly that witnesses just attribute his success to intuition and pure luck, but Getaway knows that neither of those is as useful to a soldier as logic and a little finesse. Although he prefers to think his way out of tough spots, Getaway can also rely on his physical attributes to help him cheat death; in the past, he has been blasted, blown apart, and lost limbs, but still somehow remained functional. Getaway doesn’t mind that his style and toughness have made him a legend, even among Decepticons.

This reputation was born on the battlefield in what has come to be known as the Armornecking Incident: Getaway was leading a routine patrol on the Titanium Turnpike on Cybertron when he and his fellow Autobots momentarily paused to witness a spectacular traffic accident on the other side of the highway. While the Autobots were armornecking (the Cybertronic term for slowing down to see an accident), a troop of Decepticons that had secretly staged the accident swooped down upon them and attacked. The ambush left the Autobots in tatters, leaking fuel and leaving body parts all over the road. Getaway had all four tires blown out, lost vision in his right headlights and most of his left, and lost the use of his plasma-shell shotgun. Despite his condition and the Decepticon barrage, he coolly and cleverly led a tactical retreat to the nearby Polyhex Toll Plaza. The Autobots paid their energon tolls and went through. But, as Getaway suspected, the Decepticons weren't carrying the proper change and tried to pass without paying. This activated the toll gate security system, which snared the Decepticons before they could leave, giving the Autobots the advantage they needed to defeat the Decepticons and Getaway his well-deserved reputation.

Getaway joined the Diplomatic Corps. He also has an escape kit concealed within a hidden compartment in his heel that he can reach even when bound. He also has an accent strikingly similar to the Earthen New Zealand accent.

Abilities: Subject is an expert at tactical and strategic planning, and his fast-working cerebro-circuitry can access this information in mere moments. He is an accomplished lock-pick and escape artist; his uniquely jointed limbs are incredibly flexible and allow him to escape a variety of bonds or physical holds. Subject has average strength, and his main defensive strengths are bulletproof windows and shell-resistant outer armor plating. High endurance and numerous redundant systems in his design allow him to take enormous physical damage and continue functioning. He wields a double-barreled shotgun that shoots explosive plasma shells.
