Blurr Contact Build (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Of all the characters to come out of the 1986 film, one of the  most noteworthy is Blurr. He is superfast and talks at high speed. The voice actor who did those Micro Machines commercials was even cast to do his part, as he was known for speaking both fast and intelligibly (unlike certain Wheelies I could mention).

So here is the contact build  for Blurr, the Autobot data courier. As his function places him in Communications, this makes  Blaster his direct superior in the ranks.

BLURR

"The faster it is, the better I like it."

Blurr is positively and incontrovertibly without possibility of any doubt the fastest-thinking, fastest-talking and fastest-driving data courier and messenger from the planet of Cybertron, and if you or your friend or anybody else you know or anybody else you might not know or in fact anybody at all wants to send any kind of message or dispatch or parcel or data or in fact anything at all to any base or station or out-of-the-way depot, barracks, headquarters, outpost, or post office and it is absolutely essential to deliver it immediately or at the earliest opportunity and without any delay of any kind regardless of Decepticons or obstacles or foul weather or gloom of night then Blurr's the one to pick, sir, so just give him the good word and the item in question and Blurr is off like a Cybertronic race horse, if there were such a thing as a Cybertronic race horse, and if such a beast was able to break the sound barrier on land and leave only dust clouds and lingering afterimages, because Blurr leaves only dust clouds and lingering afterimages, but he'll be off that quickly with your message in hand, and if any hostile power or enemy or Decepticon ambush should get in the way then he'll hit them with a blast from his electro-laser which will reverse the polarity of their microcircuits and they'll be stopped. Dead.

His Targetmaster partner is Haywire.
