Chameleao is a Neo-Maximal mercenary and spy with the talent Transparency Manipulation.

## Official Bio

*A sly, cunning, and sneaky mercenary with an unsavory track-record sent by Great Convoy to infiltrate a number of organizations from the inside. Never one to pass up an opportunity, his sneaky tricks and sly remarks make him very unpopular, and though he will never be chosen for promotion to squad leader any time soon, he is still quite skilled and very, very deadly.*

## History

Chameleao was one of the top Maverick Hunters in the Silencerz Guild.

However, in Broken Fractures on a mission on Pova, Chameleao and seven other Maverick Hunters got paid by an unknown benefactor to follow a new order to turn on the other squads. They complied and killed nearly all of them, with only Devcon surviving their betrayal.

After the Great War, Chameleao and the other Silencerz continued their mercenary work, and weren't loyal to the Neo-Maximals. However, they eventually grew tired of fighting and came to Great Convoy to give them a new job, though Chameleao was willing to do whatever Great asked, meaning he didn't need to be given a Talent Chip infected with a moral-corrupting virus, receiving a clean one instead.

Chameleao and the other Silencerz were sent out to track down Sureshot, and Chameleao worked with fellow willingly loyal mercenary Kuwanger to capture him, using his paralyzing stingers to immobilize him. Once Sureshot accepted Great Convoy's offer to join the Convoy Council, Chameleao became visible and retracted his stinger, with Great praising him and Kuwanger for their work.

He was given control of the Recon Base in the Vos forest territory, and served as a spy by pretending to join the Lost Lights, though he did as little damage for the Resistance as possible.

Two years later in Irregular Hunters: Part 1 Chameleao was ordered by Lightbright to scout Tetrahex during a battle to find out where the next attack would come from.

Guzzle told Devcon in Irregular Hunters: Part 2 that Chameleao was the only member of the Silencerz still working for the Resistance.

Devcon was willing to put his grudge against Chameleao aside due to him staying with the Resistance, which he told Ramjet in Burning Noumander.

In The Last Guardian Ramjet noted how little information the Resistance had on Chameleao when he did some research on him after noticing a distress signal coming from his territory. Chameleao would accompany Great Convoy to the site of the final Capsule, which was now empty, and suggested that they'd have been able to get to it first if he'd been let in on the plan earlier. He then pointed out that the legacy of the Firstforged was not one easily erased, before being ordered to signal Downbeat to head to the Citadel.

Chameleao was sent out by the Resistance to scout his forest territory, but he eventually stopped reporting in. Guzzle informed Devcon of his status in Frostbite and noted it was unusual, leading Ramjet and Devcon to become more suspicious of him.

Chameleao learned of Mandriller's death at the hands of Devcon and Ramjet and reported it to Black Convoy, who would pass the news on to Great Convoy in Convoy Problems. Black was then ordered to tell Chameleao to bring Kuwanger to the Resistance base for an attack, with Great deciding that he'd served his purpose as a spy.

"Reaper Ice" was ordered by Great Convoy to inform Chameleao that a distraction was needed for his frontal assault in Shipyards Ablaze.

In Betrayal Chameleao severed a security sensor in Sector 14-D outside of the Resistance base and waited for someone to investigate. Once Lightbright arrived, Chameleao revealed himself and slashed at her neck, laughing at her for believing that he had been on her side. Dodging a solar blast, Chameleao rushed at her on the wall, yelling how he would help Great Convoy bring about peace by telling him all the plans the Resistance made, before he attempted to cut off her head with his tail. Failing and hitting a light, Chameleao had to backflip when Lightbright kicked his legs out from under him and tried to turn transparent when he landed on a wall, but was grabbed by Lightbright before he could. However, he took a look around and came up with a plan to pull himself down from the wall to make Lightbright miss her shot, then wrap his tail around her neck and rip off her wing before holding her over the edge of the building. Though he was kicked in the face by Lightbright and grabbed his tail, Chameleao slammed her into a wall, and when she wrapped her legs around his waste so he'd fall if he dropped her, Chameleao informed her that he was built to survive that impact. Rolling his eyes after Lightbright mocked them, Chameleao proceeded to let go of the wall and fired spines at her face as they fell to keep her in position to hit the ground first. However, the pair were then hit by Drift, spinning them around and giving Lightbright the chance to free herself from his grip, leaving Chameleao to be shot at by Resistance soldiers. However, he managed to land safely and twist around all the plasma shots aimed at him while firing paralyzing spines back at the soldiers, until he was backed into a wall and pinned down by Drift's sword. This prompted him to turn transparent as he ripped the blade out, allowing him to flee into the night, his job distracting the Resistance while Kuwanger captured Gridlock done.

Lio Convoy revealed why Chameleao was serving Great Convoy in A Lost Cause, and guessed that he had his own Talent Chip, but had no idea what his extra power was.

During Body And Mind Chameleao found a twenty bot Resistance squad had been sent to keep his battle bots contained in his forest territory, and tricked them into a confined area by systematically giving up territory while sending out large numbers of bots, allowing him to capture them through the use of his tunnel network. Hiding outside his Recon Base until someone came to rescue the squad, Chameleao revealed his presence to Ramjet and Devcon by revealing that he'd cracked the encryption codes Lio Convoy provided, then dodged Devcon's shots as he climbed the tree closest to the duo. He then explained that he'd jammed their comms and that he had built the tunnel network with technology from the other Silencerz that would lead to the forces in Polyhex being destroyed, then grinned when Ramjet angrily suggested he'd stop his plan by taking his command codes. Jumping down from the tree, Chameleao detonated the explosives he'd set up in the nearby canyon, then kicked Ramjet down into it. The pair then grappled and shot at each other as they fell before Chameleao skittered around a falling boulder before turning transparent, letting him jump between boulders and sneer at Ramjet. However, while he dodged the Boomerang-Cutters Ramjet threw at him, Chameleao was caught off-guard when they came back around, causing his shoulder to get cut as he turned transparent, giving Ramjet the chance to land safely. He then pointed out Ramjet's offer to end the encounter peacefully rang hollow when he still had weapons, and questioned if the offer was made to the other Silencerz or if Great Convoy would receive it as he got behind Ramjet, but when the vigilante didn't shoot him once he revealed himself, Chameleao put his tail down. Questioning if Ramjet had been made into a killing machine with a conscience from his time at Autobot Academy and if he chose to fight himself, Chameleao then asked if he looked mindless after Ramjet spoke of stopping mindless violence, then tried to stab him with his tail. Refusing Ramjet's final offer to stand down, Chameleao was then shocked when he had the Boomerang-Cutters thrown at him again, slicing him to pieces and putting him down for good, allowing Ramjet to claim his Talent Chip and command codes.

Once the timeline was altered, Chameleao's future beyond the mission on Pova was changed with it.

## Powers and Abilities

Chameleao has the talent Transparency Manipulation, allowing himself and the things he touches to become completely see-through and make it nearly impossible to see him. Thanks to a Talent Chip, Chameleao has an additional ability, but it's unknown what it is. He can also stick to walls with ease, survive the impact from falling great heights, and can fire paralyzing spines from his tail.

In addition, Chameleao has the ability to transform, taking on the form of a Cybertronian Car.

## Trivia

* Chameleao is based on Sting Chameleon from the *Mega Man X* series.
* Chameleao's profile spells his name "Chamelao", which appears to be based on a typo made in Chameleao's end of chapter profile. As such, this wiki elects to use the spelling used in-story.
* The talent granted by Chameleao's Talent Chip was never identified. However, based on the other abilities the chips gave, it's most likely what allowed him to shoot his paralyzing spines.
