The Cool
Clone #2716057 attacked the Autobots in a city park, but was quickly defeated by Prowl and his power-boosting armor. The clone was brought to a warehouse where Clone #3370318 was being held. Starscream then activated a bomb within them. Before they could explode Prowl launched the clones into the sky where they exploded harmlessly.
Powers & Weaknesses
Clone #2716057 is one of the fastest flyers of the Decepticons, reaching a speeds of Mach 2.8. He can climb to sub-orbital altitudes of 52 miles and nose-dive to ground level in mere minutes. This makes him especially effective in surprise attacks and hit-and-run tactics. He can shoot cluster bombs up to 40 miles, that can level an area of 10,000 sq feet. His AGP (Alternating Gyro-Power) Nullifier can interrupt the flow of electricity in any circuity for two minutes. Like Starscream and the other clones, he overrates his abilities and will jump into situations he can't handle. His nose-dives can leave to a gyro-circuit overload leaving him disoriented.
