Apelinq

Apelinq was originally Uplinq, an Autobot at the end of the Great War with the Decepticons. Apelinq was reformatted into a Maximal along with most of the Autobots of the time and took on a smaller more energy efficient form. Apelinq turned to scientific pursuits as a Maximal.

Maximals are from the future and came to the present.

Apelinq was a participant in the close of the Autobot/Decepticon wars specializing in scientific research, particularly computer xenoscience, in Cybertron's new peacetime economy. But in due time, he was called by the Maximal government to lead the resurrection of Cybertron's legendary strike team, the Wreckers. Known for his genius battlefield tactics, Apelinq is a bot of ideas who would rather outwit his opponents than destroy them with brute force. His years in research have jaded him against more spiritual thinking. He doesn't trust mysticism. Apelinq tends to micromanage, to his detriment, and, thanks to his solid confidence in his own abilities, he can get in over his head.

Apelinq's scientific endeavors have armed him well. He carries two impact maces of his own design, capable of shattering most vanadium-reinforced armor. He is most famous for his Transfer Interlink, an invention that can download digital objects into reality. The limitations of this technology are not yet known, though he uses this ability to achieve his favorite mode of transportation—through the skies on his "virtual digiboard".

Apelinq transforms into a gorilla.
