Explanation of the conversion:
History: Sonar was one of the protoforms from the Maximal ship called the Axalon commanded by Optimus Primal, which chased the Predacon
criminal Megatron II through transwarp space after the theft of the Golden Disc. The
Maximals and Predacons crashed on prehistoric Earth, where high energon levels threatened to destroy the crew unless they
adopted organic alternate modes (Beast Wars Part 1).
The Axalon's cargo of Maximal protoforms in stasis pods had been launched into orbit before the crash, but eventually
Sonar's pod fell to Earth.
The dangerous cloning experiments carried out by Megatron II have created another powerful ally for the heroic Maximals:
Sonar. Much to his chagrin, Megatron II has unintentionally created the finest early warning system ever to
have existed - the Maximal known as Sonar!
Airazor, Tigatron, Ramulus, Sonar, Spittor, Packrat and Fractyl allied Primal
Prime in leaving Earth. Traveling to the future they arrived on Cybertron when it was controlled by Megatron II and
his vehicon hords. On Cybertron they met Ape-Linq and Rodimus and reformed the Wreckers. Seeking wisdom from the Oracle,
the Wreckers were sent on a mission off planet. They were joined by the Deployers Mol, Rav and Dillo as well as Arcee and Devcon while making it off planet in an Autobot Shuttle (Convention Comic 2001).
On their way off planet an explosive on the Wreckers shuttle went off, forcing the abandonment of the rear section of the
ship. Sonar, Spittor, Mol, Rav and Dillo were lost (Convention Comics 2002).
Trivia: Chinese made knockoffs of Sonar have been made. Sonar shouldn't be confused with Sonar II, a Mini-Con who
turns into a jet, or Sonar III, the Japanese name of the Mini-Con Comittor.
Powers: Sonar is energy efficient, and a natural flyer, able to take to the air easily in either mode. Her
top speed is over 240 mph. Super-acute
senses provide matchless reconnaissance abilities, while bio-cyber elements allow for good strength
and mobility. Attacks with sonic scream and cyber-blades attacks. When combined with a fiery, almost uncontrallable aggression, Sonar makes a dangerous enemy and somewhat
unpredictable ally. She recovers from
damage quicker in beast mode and is better protected from high energon levels as well.
When Sonar arrived on Cybertron she was immunized by Ape-Linq against the transformation locking
virus created by Megatron II.
Weaknesses: In beast mode Sonar lacks ranged weapons. High energon fields can adversely effect Sonar if she stays
in robot form for too long. Her animal form is protected from high energon levels. She is low ranking and not very
respected among her follow Maximals.
