Editing Setting:Transformers (section)

===Mercenaries===
Not all transformers are beholden to any one side beyond those who can afford their rates and those who meet whatever moral standards they set for employers.   These mercenaries are some of the galaxy's deadliest warriors and assassins and can be found all across the galaxy, with some even in such dark places as Comorragh, Freeboota fleets, or the Maelstrom to seek employment, though other mercenaries would never countenance service with such foul beings.   

====Sixshot====

A tremendously powerful transformer who has been known to single-handedly lay waste to entire worlds with an armature made from regenerative elements extracted from a black hole's core and a self-regenerating dark matter fission core for his power supply that makes him not only nearly impossible to harm and provides him with unlimited endurance and enormous power supply for his weapons; it also means that injuries that are inflicted on him are quickly healed. But more than that, Sixshot is a Multiformer with an incredible six transformations that lets him take on virtually any enemy in the galaxy and stand out on top.  In addition to his robot mode, he can transform into a battle tank, a faster-than-light capable spaceship, a wolf, a handheld laser weapon, and a fast off-road wheeled vehicle; making him extremely versatile in combat.  Far from a mindless beast, Sixshot is deeply intelligent and will respect a worthy adversary a great deal, refraining from most of the usual insults and taunting.  Of course, Sixshot has very high standards for what counts as a worthy adversary, as most beings are simply not capable of matching him in combat.  Working as a mercenary, Sixshot will offer his services to various causes that can afford his extortionate prices and can swiftly go from having his name sung praises of to being cursed depending on which end of his guns the enemy stands at now.  He has at times, single-handedly taken on entire Astartes chapters and left them worse off for the encounter, and finds the likes of Titans and Greater Daemons to be challenging sport rather than an enemy to be feared.  However, with the price he charges to acquire his services; he tends to only engage in the most apocalyptic of battles or serves as a one-bot lord of war on the battlefield.

====Lockdown==== 

Lockdown is a mercenary renowned for his cruelty and his love of taking trophies from particularly worthy enemies he defeats, possessing an eclectic arsenal of weapons and equipment harvested across the galaxy.  A holy multimelta from a dreadnought, autocannons torn from an Imperial Knight, Soulstones taken from Eldar (he does enjoy their wailing as he takes them), power field generators ripped off the back of slain Big Meks, and all manner of personal weapons and modifications stolen from his fellow cybertronians are but a handful of the trophies he has taken to remind him of past victories, most startlingly of all, however, is an immense and brutal looking Chainaxe Lockdown claims to have taken from the bloodthirsty daemon primarch Angron during the great crusade after beating him half to death (the World Eaters, of course, claim that this is a lie and that both Gorefather and Gorechild are accounted for).  Rumour has it that he works closely with the Quintessons, working to advance their goals even as he takes contracts from various corners of the galaxy.   With a personal fleet headed by a flagship identified as an ancient Quintesson warship as well as a band of vicious Cybertronian or even organic mercenaries and cyberformed beasts, Lockdown has had millennia to hone his skills as a raider, a soldier of fortune, and an assassin.  

He is particularly skilled at taking powerful individuals alive as captives and has frequently taken contracts with the Dark Eldar to kidnap individuals that the Archons eagerly seek to torture, and has forged several pacts with the enigmatic Necron Phaeron Trazyn the Infinite to fuel their mutual fondness for collection.  He and Grimlock have a particular hatred of one another, Grimlock remembering his time in Lockdown's captivity well and believing that the bounty hunter might have some clue as to where his comrades went, or even have them in his possession.  For his part, Lockdown is willing to sell his services to any who can afford his steep price; and is lacking in Sixshot's sense of honour and fairness.  While perhaps lacking the six-changer's colossal firepower and raw durability, Lockdown has no qualms about utilizing underhanded tactics to get what he wants and while certainly very dangerous in close quarters; he is regarded as one of the best snipers in the galaxy; able to take down even cybertronians with just a single well placed shot from a great distance.
