A Decepticon warrior from long ago, DARKSHROUD performs special duties for his leader. Adheres strictly to codes of duty and honor. Expert in hand-to-hand combat, finds ranged attaks distasteful. Armed with assortment of blades and edged weapons, vorpal wings constructed of many flexible razor-sharp plates. Able to locate and attack opponents' most vulnerable systems with advanced taargeting systems, but these systems require constant maitenance and are subject to failure. Not very durable as plane, less effective when working without the upper hand. Vulnerable to ranged attacks.
