Anomaly

Anomaly is an Autobot from the Transformers Universe portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Too bad we’ve already used one Toxic Avenger reference before this guy.

Anomaly by name and nature, the young and feisty Autobot is a strange mix of both scientist and soldier; to his allies, he’s a benefactor who can remove even the most virulent effects from enemy weapons… but to any enemies on the battlefield, he is walking fallout, leaving anyone who crosses him infected and quarantined. And as he is always spoiling for a good fight, you’ll always find someone on the battlefield affected by his gifts, in one way or another.^[1]

Notes

These aren't even my default weapons!

• His in-game Weapons are the Lambda Pulse Blaster, Atomic Axe, and Positron Shotgun. His alt-mode comes equipped with a grenade launcher.
• His in-game abilities are:
  • Hazardous Waste — dumps his toxic payload, i.e. coats nearby enemies in plasma which damages them over time, but also does the same to him, though weaker.
  • Virus Recycler — removes any viruses from Anomaly and his nearby allies, and gives Anomaly gradual repairs by turning the viruses into lead sulfide.
  • Spark Flux — when activated creates an aura. Enemies within the aura have their sparks mutated, so repairs actually damage them, while Anomaly and his allies receive a damage-absorb when they get repaired.
• His active subsystem is "Radiation Leak" which damages nearby enemies in proportion to the amount of damage he has received.
• The Web-Route S-tech on his Atomic Axe also makes Anomaly immune to damage, though this isn't mentioned in the game description.
• The S-tech on his pulse blaster, Nuclear Attraction, was given a 50% miss chance for vehicles because it was not being used as it was intended.
• Anomaly's vehicle mode weapon can also create a field which applies/refreshes a virus upon an area.
• Anomaly is one of the six Founders Pack exclusive characters for Transformers Universe.
• Anomaly originally had a difficulty rating of "hard," but was changed to "medium."
