"Surprise!"

A fusion of the smaller elements of dinosauria and insect, Hunter Killer is an adept killer. He lurks within the denser foliage of Earthen jungles in wait, with mantid patience before striking forward and eviscerating his Maximal victims. Hunter Killer's active jungle camouflage allows him to blend seamlessly into the jungle, and a light-blending cloaking device allows him to fit into any environment. Extremely adept at ambush because of his camouflage abilities, Hunter Killer is also an effective stalker unit, able to follow any target with utmost stealth and agility. Megatron often deploys this little bot for surveillance. Patience is his forte, surprise his best weapon. When cornered, Hunter Killer is a vicious combatant, lashing out wildly with his claws and teeth. However, this is mainly because he is physically quite weak and not resistant to damage. While his camouflage might be effective to the naked optic sensor, Hunter Killer is easily spotted on thermal imaging due to his poor heat dissipation.


ABILITIES

Hunter Killer possesses unsurpassed camouflaging capabilities, which majorly boost his role as an ambush specialist. While he lacks firepower, Hunter Killer makes up for it with his skill in hand to hand combat. In beast mode and robot mode, he employs his pincers to incapcitate his prey, while he tears them to shreds with his teeth and claws. Extremely agile and stealthy, combined with a shrewd mind and crafty fighting style, Hunter Killer makes short work of most enemies. He is multi-functional, and can handle a multitude of more subtle assignments such as surveillance, surprise assault and defense. He is also very patient.

WEAKNESSES
Heat dissipation problems put a hole in Hunter Killer's near complete camouflage, especially with his cloaking device activated. Thermal imaging makes him stand out of a cool jungle background like a sore thumb and heat seeking missiles are the easiest means to dispatch him. His lacking in any ranged weapon makes it practically a must for him to attack from nearby. Prone to damage, Hunter Killer has to rely heavily on his agility and speed to see him through a combat situation.
