APPEARANCE:
[Beast Mode]
Creeper's beast mode is a fusion between a albino cayman (smaller breed of exotic crocodile) and a dessert tarantula.
Like the dessert tarantula, Creeper's beast mode consists of two body sections with eight legs; they are also shaped like the two body sections of a dessert tarantula. There are a few differences in the body structure. First, there is a cayman tail protruding from the rear body section. Second, there are no spider fangs or front pincers, rather there is a long cayman snout protruding where the fangs and front pincers should be. Third, the legs are more muscular and toned for carrying more weight; the legs end in bone spiked tips rather than the typical dessert tarantula round, blunted ends. The entire body has the albino scaling of albino; however, there are tiny black freckles randomly scattered on the scales. Lastly, there are eight eyes on the beast mode that are all solid black; two are placed and shaped more like a cayman's while the other six lie in the inbetween space of the cayman eyes that are in two rows (four in the top row and 2 in the lower row) that are shaped and positioned more like tarantula eyes.
[Transformation]
It is not entirely necessary, but Creeper has made a habit of saying "Horrorize" to activate his transformation to robot mode, also saying "beastial" to active his transformation back to beast mode. Creeper's transformation is not accompanied by any special sounds, lights, nor mannerisms. Occasionally, for effect, he will growl as he transforms.
There are three major seperations involved in the transformation to robot mode.
The one major seperation is in the frontal body section. One quarter of each side of the front body section, the areas where the legs are attached to, push outward toward their peticular side. Thick, solid, more mechanical looking joints and wiring can be seen keeping the side parts connected to the front body section. At the bottom of each seperated side section, forearms and hands sprout. The forearms and hands have the scale-skin the rest of the body has; the forearms and hands are humanly proportioned except that there are two clawed fingers and one clawed thumb instead of human-typical fingers.
All the mechanical parts are color flat black.
The second major seperation occurs in the rear body section. The tail seperates completely to become a robot mode weapon. The Rest of the rear body section itself splits in half vertically and reveals a thick, solid, more mechanical and wired looking pelvic/hip area. The split sections then have lower legs and feet sprout from the bottom of them. The lower legs and feet have the scale-skin the rest of the body has; the lower legs and feet are humanly proportioned except that there are two clawed toes instead of human-typical toes. There is a thick, solid, more mechanical and wired looking joint area between the upper and lower legs at the end of the lower legs and feet sprouting.
All the mechanical parts are color flat black.
The third major seperation involves the cayman snout area seperating at its border between the rest of the front body section. The snout folds down over the the bottom of the front body section formed a sort of a covered/reinforced chest and abdominal area.
At the point where the snout split from the front body section, a head sprouts from within the newly formed chest area. The head is overall shaped like a hairless, earless, and noseless human head. The head has the albino cayman tiny black freckled scale-skin the rest of the body has. Instead of eyes, there is a V-shaped eye-visor type of optic that is shiny black in color. There is a lipless mouth with many razorsharp dark gray teeth. Between the mouth and optic there is a triangular protrusion outward almost like a false nose.
[ROBOT MODE]
The entire mode is pretty much covered with albino cayman tiny black freckled scale-skin. The arms are the sides of the beast mode's front section sectioned off to the side with humanlike proportioned forearms that slid out of the upper arms and have two clawed fingers and a clawed thumb. The legs are the beast mode's back section split verticly with humanlike proportioned lower legs and feet that slid out of the upper legs and have two clawed toes. The albino cayman type snout/mouth folded down to be the chest/abs area. The head came out from where the snout was. The head is covered with the same scale-skin as the rest of the mode. The head is shaped like a bald, earless human head with a triangular protrusion for a nose, a glossy black V-shaped single optics and a liplessmouth filled with sharp dark gray teeth. The beast mode tail seperated entirely and became a weapon.

ARMAMENT:
{Robot Mode Weapons}
[Tail Cannon]
Creeper's tail becomes a sort of cannon weapon. The wide end the split from the rear body has a hole area where Creeper slides his left hand into. The tip end of the tail opens up and sinks back into the tail about two feet. The outer layer of the tail splits at the point to expose about a foot's worth of open space where four canisters can be placed.
[Canisters]
Creeper's canisters are held in subspace and are an extension to his tail cannon. Without the canisters, the tail cannon can only be used as a blunt, bludgeoning type of object. Each canister is cylindrical and round. Each canister, except the red and clear canisters, is made with a super dense form of the standard Predacon ship building metal; each has a specially designed cap to release their contents. Each canister only takes a few seconds to switch out.
White Canisters: Creeper's white canisters hold a white tar-like hydrocarbon based gel that blinds optics until wiped off, makes a surface practically frictionless for a bot to slip on, and can be ignited by heat like napalm. The canisters are maximumly compressed, but they still only hold two gallons per canister. The range of spraying of the white gel is fifty feet. These canisters are not used, just their contents.
Gray Canisters: Creeper's gray canisters hold two organic chemicals that combust and flame when mixed and exposed to oxygen. The canisters only hold enough of the organic chemicals to sustain a stream of ten foot flames for thirty seconds. These canisters are not used, just their contents.
Red Canisters: Creeper's red canisters are designed to hold grenades and small explosives in stasis. These canisters can have their contents switch, but only designed for grenades and small explosives. These canisters are not fired themselves, just the grenades or small explosives in them. The grenades and small explosives can be launched to around 100 yards; however, its only accurate to about 30 yards. Each red canister can only hold one grenade or small explosive.
Clear Canisters: Creeper's clear canisters are made of a titanium oxide alloy that is thin an made to easily burst upon impact. These containers can be filled with anything Creeper whats to fill them with that would not cause the canisters to break. These canisters can be launched to around 100 yards; however, its only accurate to about 30 yards. These canisters are actually fired out of the Tail Cannon.
[Explosives]
Creeper continually makes grenade, small explosive type weapons whenever he has the time to do so and he has enough of the right resources to actually make them. It is never specific what type and how many he has. The number and type depends on the environment he is in and how he uses that environment.
{Beast Mode Weapons}
[Snout]
Like all types of crocodiles, Creeper's beast mode snout can exert a lot of pressure per square inch, and has a number of very sharp edge-lying teeth designed to keep creatures in the snout and tear away at their flesh prior to being drug around swallowed. The teeth themselves can puncture medium armor with applied force.
[Leg Tips]
Each of Creeper's eight beast mode legs ends in a bone spiked end that can puncture medium armor with applied force. They are not very practical to use as weapons since he needs most of them to stay up and moving in beast mode.
{Equipment}
[Grapling Hook]
Creeper can attach a mechanism to the end of his tail cannon, so he can shoot a a grapling hook. The hook looks like a spade at first, but once it penetrates or lands ona solid material, three prongs shoot from it backward to keep it in place. The grapling hook can only hold two maximum sized medium bots safely. The cord that holds the grapling hook has a 50 foot range and is made out of contractile dense Predacon ship building metal. The hook itself is made from a superdense form of the metal.
[LH Squirter]
Creeper has a gun-like piece of a equipment that looks a gloss white metal version of a small handheld supersoaker; it even has small, round, cylindrical canisters that are bluish silver in color. The canisters are filled with liquid helium and are made out of a liquid helium resistant metal. The gun fires a very small and thin stream of helium. This is used to break obstacles like door locks, chain links, and parts of fences. It is too small, and its too hazardous to keep large enough quantities of liquid helium, for this to be used as a weapon.
[Computer Pad with Pen Extension]
Creeper has a flat white colored computer pad with a black screen that is the size of a typical composition notebook. It is held in subspace. The computer pad can be written on with a special electronic flat white colored pen that is attached to the pad by a thin white cord. The computer pad can store whatever Creeper writes or draws on it and doubles as computation device for solving equations.
[Sub-Subspace Device]
Creeper did not come with his own grenades and explosives, rather he constantly is designing and building more with what he has available around him. He needed some place to keep them, so he got a device that places his subspace in yet another spatial plane allowing for a lot more stuff to be stored.
PERSONALITY:
Creeper is not the ideal Predacon. Creeper would rather pick off enemies from a distance than ever fighting anyone close. Creeper is at heart, a coward. Creeper does not want to risk his own skin one bit. Fighiting is not Creeper's forte; he enjoys bombarding people from a distance, but he is not honorable and pridefilled Predacon. He was always grilled by his mentor to be honorable and have pride; however, he got sick of it, and did not see the overall benefit of being so.
Creeper has no particular animosity towards the Maximals as a whole. Creeper would be among the easiest bribed Predacons since he would rather build demolition equipment than fight and he does not particular hate Maximals. Creeper may be bribable; however, he is not the type to become a traitor. Creeper likes the Predacon way of life and has not been impressed by the Maximal way of life... mainly because he enjoys giving pain and killing people. Creeper recognizes Maximals as his enemy; they act in contrast to the Predacon way of life which he is comfortable in.
Creeper does have animosities toward certain people. Creeper hates people who try to confront him all the time; it is a real pet peeve to him. A question or command every so often is no problem; he just hates it when people get in his face about it. This also touches on his hatred for people that always nag at him. When Creeper is bussy, he hates being bothered, especially for something petty. Creeper likes to take his time to get his business done well. It really ticks him off if he is given too many tasks at one time or when too many people all give him tasks.
Creeper does not deal with his anger well. When people really piss him off, he may verbally express it, but he bottles in a lot. You'll here him grumble, snicker, and growl a lot. As with any of the bottling in types, he gets into fits or rampages when he gets pushed too far. This isn't a very good thing since he specializes in demolition and explosives.
He may not like to be bothered when he is bussy; however, he is not anti-social. Creeper mingles with other Predacons during his off-time. He does not show any particular emotion, excitement, or depression when he mingles unless its really provoked. Creeper acts like a normal guy who really does not care about much. He is not very passionate. He enjoys humor, particular the sadistic and perverted forms. He can get really provoked into making long and in depth conversation if someone brings up physics, chemistry, or blowing things up; that is about all he is really interested in.
HISTORY:
Creeper was born and raised in the heart of Predacon territory. The area was called the Negon Hub. The Negon Hub was an area of upper-middle class society within Predacon territory. Creeper had no particular harshness growing up; he was rather comfortable. Creeper was not really raised by his parents, rather he was more raised a by mentor he was sent to everyday. That mentor was a well-known Predacon scientist and teacher, Necratron the Third. Necratron was like a godfather to Creeper; a good friend of Creeper's father whom was asked to guide him.
Necratron was probably not the most suitable teacher. He did greatly aid Creeper's scientific developement as a youth, but that is perhaps the only thing aided. Necratron taught Creeper that only way to be something in Predacon society was to gain power and position. Necratron, in addition, taught Creeper that morals and preservation of the weak was the downfall of Maximal society. Necratron reinforced Predacron pride, honor, and pursuit of power. These teachings were continued until Creeper left to go to Shockwave University located in the Meson Hub not far from Creeper's home in the Negon hub.
Creeper majored in chemical physics and minored in architecture at the Shockwave University. Creeper excelled in a number of areas associated to his major and minor: general physics, general chemisty, mathematics, and building. Creeper did have some difficulties in required courses dealing with languages and history. Creeper, still, recieved excellent marks while at the University; in fact, he was in the top ten students in science related studies.
Creeper went on, after recieving a bachelor's degree in chemical physics, into the Predacon military. Due to his background in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and architecture, Creeper was nearly automatically placed in the demolitions and explosives division within the Predacon military. Creeper was trained extensively in the means of demolitions and in making explosives.
Recent History:
Creeper was not unfamiliar with Earth; to the contrary, he had visited the planet numerous times in the past. Since Earth was Cybertron's major supplier of organic samples for beast modes, it would figure any Cybertronian with a scientific background would know about Earth... and the supposedly most intelligent resident species of Earth, humans.
Creeper was indifferent about humans; he disliked their tendancies to side with Autobots and Maximals but oppositely like their tendancies to be easily coerced and bought. Creeper did deal with humans anyway; actually, he did not deal with humans directly. Creeper dealt with a middle-man, a Predacon that stayed on Earth that Creeper would meet with. Creeper dealt with this middle-man, Molos, because he often acquired resources from Earth. There are a number of substances on Earth not present on Cybertron, and a number of the substances were useful in Creeper's experiments.
Not too long ago... Molos dissapeared, seemingly without a trace. Creeper was not happy to say the least. Molos was Creeper's only supplier of Earth substances. Nearly a month after the dissapearance, Creeper got word from Molos; the message was audio and video and told Creeper that Molos had something he knew Creeper would want and was too risky to let be public known. Creeper had dealt with Molos for stellar cycles; Creeper had no reason to not trust the message.
Creeper left his residence in the Netatron Hub, a Predacon military hub, to go on a transport to a small Human Cybertronian joint colony, the Maalon Colony. Upon arrival and exitting of the transport, a number of human officers approached him while a number of enhanced androids subdued him. The officiers claimed to belong to a group known as Purification and accused Creeper of committing crimes against humanity. Creeper denied such allegations; however, they explained his dealings with Molos, a Cybertronian on Earth, explain his guilt. Creeper tried to escape with no avail; he was captured and taken aboard a vessel of the Purification group.
Later, the Purification ship was hidden on Earth. While hidden, Creeper was held in the ship for further interrogation. The humans were not satisfied with what he was able to tell them, so routinely they would check up on him to see if he was willing to provide more information. That was, well until the ship revealed itself once more and took off into space.
Luckily for Creeper, there happened to be more Predacons at the time in the ship that were taken by surprise. The attention given to the other Predacons was enough for Creeper to use a surprise of his own. During all the times he was interrogated, he collected objects around him and from his interrogators; with those parts with things from his cell and his sub-subspace, Creeper was able to rig some small explosives. Creeper used one to free himself from his cell. From this point on... the history is still developing.
