Crashcomet

Crashcomet is an original character from A Shooting Star. She is one of the main protagonists. She is the third major original character to be featured in the story when she shows up to protect Evangeline and Vincent from Starscream. Crashcomet is young, sweet and naive. She can be childish and obnoxious, but she is also very bright. As a warrior, she is extremely strong, but lacks speed.

She is Evangeline's primary guardian.

Background
Crashcomet is a created Spark. She was built during the Great War, and her primary purpose was to clear away rubble after the war ended. She was originally one of seven, but the other six bots offlined soon after their creation. Crashcomet was the only one to survive.

After Optimus Prime sent the Allspark to the cosmos, Crashcomet was put into stasis and sent into space with a scientist guardian. At some point, the scientist was knocked out of her orbit, and no one has heard from him since.

Crashcomet first received Optimus Prime's message in the year 2007, but she reached Earth in 2011, a few days after the Chicago battle. She was emotionless and had no name, only an identification number: 8103. Arcee gave her the name Crashcomet, and Crashcomet slowly developed her quirky personality.

Appearance
Crashcomet stands eight feet tall in robot mode at the beginning of the story, but is constantly receiving upgrades from Ratchet. She will likely be fifteen feet tall by the time she stops growing. She is white-and-gold colored, with large yellow optics (due to her Spark being amber instead of blue). Her alternate mode is a Vespa, but she will upgrade to a motorcycle when she is done growing.

"Ooh, her. She's cute."

-Knock Out

Crashcomet first appears in the story when she protects Evangeline and Vincent from Starscream. She uses one of her grappling hooks to tear away half of Starscream's face before sending Sideswipe in. She then contacts base to inform Optimus that they have two civilians, and throws Vincent into Sideswipe's vehicle mode. When they reach base, Crashcomet is appointed as Evangeline's Guardian.

The next day, Crashcomet assists Arcee in her walking exercise. She is then sent on a mission to intercept a drone at the windmills, along with Bumblebee. During the battle, she accidentally punctures Bumblebee's shoulder with her hook, and narrowly escapes annihilation. When she is sent on another mission to the same area, this time with Sideswipe, to intercept Breakdown and Knock Out. While Sideswipe fights Breakdown, Crashcomet prepares to attack Knock Out. But she is distracted by his shiny armor, and the two strike up a conversation.

Sideswipe, having beaten Breakdown, calls for a ground bridge and drags Crashcomet through it, berating her for chatting with the enemy. He fails to notice said enemy following them through the ground bridge.

While protecting the base from the Decepticons Soundwave, Starscream and Breakdown, Crashcomet gouged Starscream's wings and kicked him in the face.

Crashcomet has developed a very close relationship with Knock Out. Arcee is a sort of mother figure to her, and Sideswipe is like her older brother.

In coming chapters, a little of Crashcomet's dark side will be revealed, and her relationship with other characters, primarily Knock Out, will be broadened and developed.
