VASHIK is equipped with side-mounted, squid-like tentacles. While often seen in positions of authority, VASHIK firmly believes he’s being held from further promotion by the machinations of others. He is physically quite agile, moving with alien grace on land or undersea, but politically he’s clumsy and inept. With the destruction of his homeworld of Quintessa, VASHIK has been tasked with re-colonizing Cybertron. Twisted by exile and betrayal, VASHIK entertains himself with mock trails, petty cruelties, bizarre experimentations and attempted subterfuges. However, his paranoia at being the victim of just such subterfuges blunts his enjoyment of such games.
