Praxian Metro Raptor

Praxian metro raptor

The Praxian metro raptor is a mechanimal domesticated for law enforcement. They are social and intelligent but difficult to keep, demanding a lot of space, enrichment, and fuel.

Metro raptors are some of the few beasts that have vehicle alt modes, able to transform into an odd sort of motorcycle. Their altmodes make it easier for them to keep up with their handlers while on the road, and chase down fleeing suspects. Once they are tasked in tackling a suspect, metro raptors will pin mechs down and try to restrain them with their weight, arms and teeth.

In relation to their long extinct ancestors, metro raptors have soft mouths and blunt teeth that are better suited for gripping. While it their bite can still hurt and require medical repairs, it’s rare for them to be lethal.

Prowl had no intentions on working with Praxian metro raptors during his career as a detective, however when Red and Blue (pictured above) were specifically programmed/ trained for investigative work and imprinted to his spark signature, he was stuck with the two. Red and Blue were adept at sniffing out chemicals, spark signatures, spilled energon and so on, and were able to send the information directly to Prowl in real time.

When not working, both of Prowl’s raptors tended to be nuisances, laying in inconvenient places and sticking their noses in things they shouldn’t be touching. Green at least kept them a bit more in line as she made it very clear to them that she was in charge.

Their ancestors (and possibly a few other cybertronian critters) were brought to Calamathos by the titans millions of years ago, most likely to be kept as pets.

Since the landing of the titans, the turbofoxes have adapted to the hot, dry planet, shrinking down in size, minus their enormous ears, and becoming small, lightweight and quick-footed counterparts to their larger cybertronian ancestors.

Amplunaris’ city has a decent population of domestic turbofoxes. These pampered pets can be trained for a variety of different tasks, and can come in a small variety of unique colors and ‘fur’ textures. The more fancy turbofoxes are kept by the rich, as they can afford the resources needed to keep their unique pets healthy.

There is a small feral population of turbofoxes in Magnoheli’s ruins. Unlike the domestic population, this group do not have a variety of color, sticking to more natural sandy shades, and have kept a more wild personality. They are very shy and skittish creatures, and have gotten very good at hiding.
