Abilities:

Hyper agility: (Extreme maneuverability?) Dodges like Prowl when under Chip Chase's control.  To be unlocked later when alt mode becomes jet again: Speed of a Jet, agility of a chopper.  He's the Stunticon of the sky!

(To be unlocked later) Other thing: He's got a second thing.  That he can do.  Maybe?

Third thing: Profit!


Armaments:

Robot & Jet mode weapons: Twin shoulder-mounted guided missile launchers.  Twin arm-mounted plasma cannons.

Robot mode weapons: Twin axes (Transform from tail fins)

Background:
The official story is that Jumpjet was a failed experiment in adding flight capability to Autobots.  With energon in such short supply, the idea was to make use of highly refined liquid organic fuel for his flight engines... which turns out to be in very short supply as well.  Oops.  So his alt mode was reshuffled to wheeled vehicle, ( https://www.njuskalo.hr/image-...s-slika-35486346.jpg ) "until we can figure out how to get your flight engine to efficiently convert energon into thrust."

Oops!  Cat's out of the bag!
In truth, he was actually a just a Decepticon jet deemed too inefficient for service.  Luckily, the Autobots rescued him from the ignoble demise of being melted down into the same smelting pot as the janitor bots they were there to free.  Optimus declined Wheeljack's offer to rewire Jumpjet's brain, opting instead to reprogram the ex-Con to join the Autobots in a more ethical way: persuading him with words.  It worked!
