Altair

Altair in Bakugan Form

Altair was the first mechanical Bakugan ever created and the first guardian Bakugan of Lync Volan, the Ventus brawler for the Vexos.

## Appearance

Altair is a vaguely draconic mechanical Bakugan with a dark grey body and a silver head and wings. It has disc-shaped wings with five feather-like structures on each. It has yellow spikes on its head, back and tail. It has two arm-like appendages attached to its body though they serve no known purpose.

## History

At some point after Alpha City, Beta City and Gamma City landed on New Vestroia, it was theorized that a mechanical Bakugan would be more powerful than an organic Bakugan and Clay Fermin was put in charge of the research and development. It is not known how long Clay worked on Altair though it was ready for use not too long after Alpha City landed on New Vestroia and three years after the Battle Brawlers defeated Naga.

When Mira Fermin is discovered sneaking around her father's labratory, Altair is given to Lync Volan as his guardian Bakugan for him to use in battle against Mira's Wilda and Baliton. While Lync and Altair initially have the upper hand, Lync's overzealousness results in him activating multiple double abilities, overloading Altair and giving Mira the win.

an upgraded Altair capable of using double abilities is used by Lync in the finals of the Alpha City Tournament. They team up with Volt Luster and Brontes against Shun Kazami, Ace Grit, Ingram, Hylash and Percival. Lync and Volt nearly win the brawl because of Lync debuting Wired, another mechanical Bakugan that can combine with Altair. Shun and Ace discover Altair's inability to visually track multiple opponents and exploit this weakness to turn the tide, winning the brawl. The energy produced by the brawl destroys Alpha City's cimension controller, freeing the captive Bakugan held inside.

After the Resistance heads to Earth, Lync follows them, getting into a battle against Baron Leltoy and Nemus. Despite combining Altair and Wired again, Lync is no match for Baron and Nemus, who easily win the brawl in two rounds, destroying both Altair and Wired.

Altair's remains and blueprints are later used in the creation of Lync's second guardian Bakugan, Aluze.

## Powers

Altair is a Ventus Bakugan with a power level of 500. For some reason, when Altair and Wired combine to form Meta Altair, their combined power level is 1450, despite Wired's power level being 400. Altair has five known abilities:

* Spinal Saucer: Adds 200
* Mega Shield: Adds 200
* Thunder Fire/Thunder Flare: Transfers 200
* Thunder Booster: Transfers 300
* Shock Cannon: Adds 500

## Weaknesses

Altair was very flawed, even for a mechanical Bakugan. Prior to being upgraded, using two abilities at once would overload Altair and cause it to malfunction, giving its opponent a very easy opportunity to win. Like most mechanical Bakugan, it was unable to keep track of multiple, fast moving opponents. Because it was designed solely for aerial combat, knocking Altair to the ground basically rendered it helpless. As a mechanical bakugan, it was ironically much more fragile than an organic Bakugan, as most organic Bakugan have been shown not being injured by the most powerful abilities while Altair destroyed in a single shot.

## Notes

* Despite being believed to be more powerful than an organic Bakugan, Altair lost all three brawls it participated in though it is unknown if this is because of Altair's flaws or Lync's because Lync never won an on-screen brawl against a major character without cheating.
