Name: Smite

Function: Assassin/Infiltrator

Affiliation: Autobot 

Optic color: Amber

Alt-mode: Sabertooth Tiger 

Weapons: 4 inch long claws, 6 inch long canines, sharp tipped tail

Build: Lean, muscular

Height: 7 ft to her shoulder, 10 ft to her head

Physical appearance: Smite's main color scheme includes silver and red, with lighter undertones of black and dark grey. The Autobot insignia is prominently displayed in red on her right shoulder. A majority of her outer plating is silver mixed evenly with accents of red. Underneath that is the darker shades of grey and black, indicating her protoform and such. Her paws + claws are black, while her long canines are silver. Her tail acts as a whip with a sharp edge, capable of dealing a nasty cut to whoever is bothering her.

Personality: Smite can often be described as brash or hotheaded, when in reality she's just a grumpy cat. She hates being compared to Ravage (she's much bigger than him) and doesn't like being seen as a mindless creature bred from a laboratory. Despite her predatory instincts stemming from her programming, she acts like any other bot would. Her intelligence is far higher than that of any Dinobot and she makes it clear whenever someone expresses doubt. Although she was bred for war, Smite still has a soft side to her that shows itself around those she trusts. She is extremely loyal to those she trusts and doesn't take betrayal too lightly.

Strengths: Her main strengths are her speed and agility. Similar to Ravage, her specialty is hitting bots so hard that they don't even know what hit them. She can also sneak into restricted areas and clear a path for her fellow Autobots.

Weaknesses: One weakness would be her size. She's much smaller than the average bot, so one blast from a heavy weapon could potentially kill her. Not only that, if someone got their hands on her, they could easily rip her apart (*cough cough* like what happened to Ravage in ROTF *cough*).

Backstory: Smite was created in Wheeljack's laboratory after he'd done research on Earth's prehistoric animals, despite Ratchet's concern about creating such a beast. Wheeljack was intrigued by the sabertooth tiger's raw power and figured it would make a good model for his first live creation. He'd always been jealous of Shockwave's abilities as a scientist—no matter how bizarre or creepy the one-eyed mech seemed—and wanted to show that he was on that same level of skill.

Mere moments after taking her first breath, Smite reverted to the primal instincts engrained in her processor and lashed out. It took many weeks of hardcore training to gain her trust, but after that, she became a loyal companion. She has favorites when it comes to the bots. She views Wheeljack and Ratchet as her creators. Therefore, she has the closest bond with them. Optimus has since become a trusted ally due to his status as the Autobot commander. She simply tolerates the other bots, some more than others.

Interesting facts:

- She likes to sleep under Ratchet's desk because he keeps a space heater there

- When outside of the Ark, she'll occasionally stalk and chase earth creatures due to her prey drive, but she won't kill them (not on purpose, anyway). She also stalks and scares the shit out of any unfortunate bot that comes by her hiding place (it's one of her favorite hobbies)

- Optimus tried to pet her for weeks following her creation because he just couldn't resist (she loves being pet by him now)

Quotes:

"Be wary of those you yield your throat to—these teeth were made to rip and tear."

"Wheeljack may be a lunatic, but he's my lunatic." (She picked that one up from Ratchet)

"Cross me again and I'll gut you in front of the entire crew."

"If you didn't want me to steal those sweets, why did you leave them within my reach?"

"I'm a cat. I don't do walks."

"You may pet me once. After that, you risk losing a hand."
