Bound Rogue

Kid *(Steeljaw)*

Bound Rogue is a Maximal Academy student with the talent Hyperspeed.

## Official Bio

*Bound Rogue made himself something of a local hero back home in Berylopolis, protecting it from the Decepticon scientist Rossum. But the blue speed demon can't just stay in one place stopping one villain when there's alien races to be saved, timelines to be fixed, or ancient monsters to be stopped, as he puts it while definitely keeping his aspersions in check. And so he ran off to Maximal Academy with his friends Bump and Nightglider right behind him, hoping to reach for the stars and become a real hero. Bound Rogue can have quite the ego and overestimate his abilities, but all that can really be done to fix this is just let the stubborn bot live and learn."*

## History

Bound Rogue was from Berylopolis, and became a local hero by protecting the city from Rossum, along with his friends Bump and Nightglider. However, Bound desired to help even more people, and he and his friends enrolled at Maximal Academy, becoming members of Class 4-B under the tutelage of Bigfight. While there, Bound would meet High-Hammer, who developed a crush on him, and Polar Claw, who Bound would refer to as "Snowy". Like the rest of his school, Bound traveled to Acadeimos in preparation for the Festival of the Stars, and made his way to Autobot Academy after getting dropped for the Maximal Academy shuttle into the Forest of Trials.

During the Festival of the Stars Bound Rogue entered the Tournament of Heroes, and for his first match was pitted up against Steeljaw. Once his match came up, Bound stretched as he claimed Steeljaw's taunts were just hot air and dared him to prove his bite lived up to his barking, and when Bigfight began the match Bound let Steeljaw know he was way ahead of him in getting the first hit after running at high speed to punch his opponent in the face. Seeing Steeljaw create some clones to deal with him, Bound started running around in circle fast enough to create sonic booms, and once the clones were all too dazed to fight Bound rolled into Steeljaw at full speed, sending him flying out the ring and giving Bound the win, though he insisted that the only reason the attack hadn't backfired on him was that Steeljaw was too slow to sidestep it. For his next match, Bound went up against Polar Claw, and he assured "Snowy" that he'd have the win soon enough, not caring about his opponent objecting to his nickname. However, despite charging at Polar Claw right out the gate, Bound was frozen in a block of ice and pushed out of bounds, leading Hot Rodimus to declare that he'd lost and needed to be thawed out. Once the tournament ended, Bound stood with several other losing Maximal Academy students at the closing ceremony, though he wasn't happy to have to be next Polar Claw.

Bound Rogue's fight with Steeljaw remained unchanged in the new timeline created in Return to Autobot Academy.

In A Bright New Tomorrow Bound Rogue chatted with Bump and Nightglider before getting onto a shuttle back to Eukaris to finish their freshmen year.

During Ballad of the Beasts Bound Rogue was walking through the halls of Maximal Academy when Lionhead took Lightbright on a tour of the school.
