PRINCE POSEIDAVE
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: WING COMMANDER
FIRST APPEARANCE: "More Than Meets The Eye, Part 1"
"Whoever stands by a just cause cannot possibly be called evil."
PROFILE: Prince Poseidave is part of a lost dynasty of Decepticon royalty whose ancestry traces back to a Decepticon of legend known only as either "The Fallen" or "Emperor of Destruction." Brother of the mighty gestalt warrior King Poseidon, Poseidave is commands the deadly and elite special squadron of Decepticon jets known as Lavender Squadron. Poseidave has a strong need to control his environment, down to the most minor detail. He is known for his impulsive behaviour and rapid mood changes. At times he can be a nervous wreck, then a second later he is in high spirits. Poseidave is highly valued among the Decepticons as a 'bot of action, although he requires constant stimulation and finds it difficult to enjoy periods of quiet and relaxation. Owing to his royal heritage and emotional limitations, at times Poseidave finds it difficult to accept the authority of others and does not tolerate any dispute regarding his status either as Lavender Squad commander, or as a Decepticon prince. The only Decepticons he will take orders from without question are Megatron, Shockwave and King Poseidon.
Poseidave is suspicious of friends and foes alike. He does not trust anyone and his suspicions are accompanied by extreme sensitivity to any criticism. He is personally hurt by any criticism - even constructive criticism - regarding his actions as squadron leader. Similarly, Poseidave has a strong emotional need to demonstrate superiority over his followers as well as his rivals. Because of his heritage, Poseidave perceives himself as a leader of extraordinary historic stature with a strong sense of self-entitlement. His interpersonal skills are characterised by problems relating with others, stemming from his need to be manipulative, bring them closer or distancing them as he sees fit. He has no close friends nor feels the need for them. Poseidave sees himself as a physical symbol of the Decepticon empire. This is outwardly expressed in his appearance having painted himself in the royal Lavendar of the Decepticon standard. All members of his squadron are similarly coloured this way.
Abilities: Poseidave is the only Decepticon sky raider capable of undersea flight. His reinforced frame is extremely durable and able to withstand deep-sea pressures without being crushed. He displays incredible ability as wing commander, which is why fellow Decepticons are willing to not only tolerate, but also follow him without question in battle. In jet mode, Poseidave has a maximum speed of 3080km/h (Mach 2.9) in atmosphere, or 450km/h undersea. Like his brother, Poseidave is fully operational up to a depth of 9 kilometres. His range is 5150 kilometres. He is armed with mounted gravity-rod guns, which by altering the strength of the gravitational field around any object their beams hit, the guns can cause an object to either crash or float away. The larger the object, the less effective are the guns.
Weaknesses: All of Poseidave's abilities can be hampered by his volatile emotional state. If he is in an emotionally stable mood, then is a very effective fighter and leader, however this can change quickly, leading both himself and his followers into trouble.
