Leaper (Transformers)

Leapers are a subspecies of Cybertronians from the planet Cybertron.

Anatomy
Leapers share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, except they are large and armored with blades mounted on their wrists.

Powers and abilities
Leapers share many of the same abilities as other Cybertronians.

Leapers get their name from their exceptional agility. Once they jump high into the air in open-roofed areas, they create a large and powerful shockwave on impact with the ground.

Leapers can generate great bursts of speed for short periods of time, allowing them to deliver vicious charging attacks. The front side of a Leaper is heavily armored, making head-on combat suicidal at best.

Weaknesses
Leapers share many of the same weaknesses as other Cybertronians.

Leapers are vulnerable to attacks from behind, due to the large engines on their backs.

Compared to other Cybertronians, Leapers are normally rather slow.

Culture and society
Leapers share a similar culture to other Cybertronians. Though they generally serve as elite foot soldiers for the Decepticons, Leapers also exist as a body-type of Shadow Raiders.
