Profile: Roulette grew up in a small village in Cybertron alongside her twin sister Shadow Striker and their slightly younger sister Silhouette. They lived a peaceful life until their village was attacked by a group of nomadic invaders. The twins were saved only by becoming trapped by falling debris which hid them from the attackers. Sadly, both watched everyone else in their village be killed including Silhouette. This was a devastating moment in the lives of the two young Transformers which would take both in different paths. Both would become driven by the anger and sadness they felt on this day. While Shadow Striker sought power, Roulette sought to do everything she could to prevent others from experiencing what Silhouette did.
At first she became a bounty hunter until she managed to get herself an invitation to that years’ IntraFormers Sharpshooting Competition but she was unlucky to pick a year with huge names participating. She put on a fantastic performance, beating even legends like Optimus Prime and Megatron but eventually finished second to Sureshot. It was Sureshot who drew all of the attention and glory of the event and Roulette was left largely ignored. The only mechanoid who seemed to notice her performance was a representative from the Academy for Cybertronian Law Enforcement who was impressed with the combination of her skill and humility. She was offered an opportunity to join which she eagerly accepted seeing it as an opportunity to make sure that no one goes through what she has. She became a highly effective enforcement officer and when the war broke out she joined the Autobots.

She is well aware fate has guided her sister on an opposing path. However, even though both are now supposed to be enemies they still care for each other deeply which can sometimes cause problems for Roulette. She continues to be protective of her twin which causes some to distrust her, fearing that she might one day join Shadow Striker.

Abilities: Roulette is the greatest sharpshooter among the Transformers that no one has heard off. Her skills continue to be dismissed by some of the Autobot forces due to their inability to accept that a female’s marksmanship could so surpass their own. She can hit the head of a pin at a distance of 6 miles. She utilizes a powerful and accurate high-velocity sonic blaster. Her shoulder-mounted deflecto-shield can absorb and redirect the energy of her enemy's attacks.

She transforms into a quick pursuit vehicle which can move with great speed and maneuverability. She is an excellent driver and when she is pursuing a fugitive it is very unlikely he will manage to lose her. Her deflecto-shield is integrated into her vehicle mode in the form of her front windshield which also provides her with protection from weapon fire and allows for effective ramming. Also, the way she transforms keeps nonessential components in the outward parts of her vehicle mode. She could take serious damage without compromising the main robot structure.

Weaknesses: As a sharpshooter and law enforcement official Roulette has no significant weaknesses. She is smart, quick, and deadly accurate in both. However, her sister is always on her mind and she feels the pressure of having a sibling on the opposing army. Her sister’s actions lead some to distrust her. While the front of her vehicle mode is very well protected due to the placing of her shield, the flanks and rear are less armored.
