Serpent O.R.

After his encounter with four Autobots rekindled his lust for domination, a washed-out terrorist tracked down the discarded body of a Sweep and used it as a recipient for data from an old Cobra project to combine the military acumen from the greatest strategic minds of Earth's past. The EDC disrupted the operation, but in the process General Clayton "Hawk" Abernathy was knocked into a Brainwave Scanner and his personality uploaded to the amalgamated consciousness. The result is a being who, normally, identifies with Cobra and their occasional allies, the Decepticons, and yet finds himself sympathetic to the cause of the Earth Defense Command, which he remembers founding and leading. This dissonance hampers his otherwise brilliant tactical mind, but even his divided processor is capable of generating ruthless, inventive plans of incredible subtlety. Carries a twin-barreled "Strike" attack gun and a laser-powered heat ray, capable of instantly heating any metal to 3200 centigrade.
