Profile: Starfire would rather go exploring on an alien planet then be involved in the ages-old conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons. For her, scouting and discovery are exhilarating, and serve a much better purpose than destruction. Having said that, her enthusiasm for finding new things translates well into her job in the Autobot army: to go out and find where the enemy is and what it is up to, undetected. She is very good at reconnaissance and long distance warfare. She abhors Decepticons and what they stand for, and has no problem taking them out without them ever suspecting it. Some may consider snipers cowards for not fighting face to face, but when it comes to Starfire, taking out the trash is the end that justifies any means. She does get frustrated at times at her inability to take punishment in a fight, because she knows her small stature makes her a liability in combat. This often results in an unexpected rage, at which time any bot in her vicinity would do well to be somewhere else. Anywhere else.

Abilities: Starfire is equipped with the best sniper rifle Autobot military has ever come up with. She has nearly unlimited range, her only obstacles being the type of ammunition she uses and the terrain she is in. Her calm demeanor and quiet personality add up to steady hands that wouldn't shake during an earthquake if it meant keeping her sights on a soon-to-be-dead Con. In motorcycle mode she is capable of high speeds rivaled only by Blurr and some of the Decepticon Seekers. Her small body also allows her to fit into spaces where others - Autobot or Decepticon - can't go. In robot mode she packs a laser pistol in addition to her sniper rifle, but she rarely uses it, same with her dagger. They only come out when she is threatened in close-quarters combat, and she uses them long enough to make a getaway. Her near-uncontrollable rage also serves her at times, especially when she cannot deal with an enemy or obstacle with just her strength and bare hands. Though far from Banner-going-Hulk, the rage does boost her fighting ability temporarily.

Weaknesses: Starfire's small size is her biggest weakness. Even though it does make her a smaller target, and helps her in escape situations, if she ever gets caught in a battle, she is almost certain to lose a fight, whether it be hand-to-hand combat or small arms battle. Though her sniper rifle makes her a near-invaluable asset, it being nearly as long as her entire body makes it somewhat awkward to carry on her back when she's not using it. Its extremely long range also comes from her being able to propel the ammunition she uses at very high speed, for which she uses her own energon supply. If she gets into a firefight using the rifle, it can drain her energy at a rapid rate. Her rage can also get her in trouble, due to not being able to control it and not thinking clearly when she gets pissed off. This usually results in her having to be bailed out of a bad situation by her fellow Autobots.
