Nimbus was originally one of the many protoforms the Decepticons keep in reserve to turn into more drone soldiers for Megatron. Megs decided to have them transported to a safer location to keep the Autobots from finding them, and was dumb enough to entrust Knock-Out to the job. Knock-Out lost the protoform, which Cloud stumbled upon.
Cloud touched it, and it took on his genetic information, becoming a technorganic transformer with Cloud's body as its "vehicle" form. Fleshy on the superficial outside, but servoes and gyros inside. At first Cloud wanted nothing to do with it, and it was only able to do and speak things that it saw Cloud say and do. Eventually, it came to understand itself, and was dubbed Nimbus.
Unaware of his own mechanical nature, Nimbus was lead to believe he was Cloud's brother who had nasty experiments placed on him. Weird things like blades extending out of his forearms and jet boosters on his shoulders were explained away by said experiments. Eventually, the Decepticons came back for Nimbus, and Cloud told him the truth. Not long after, Nimbus was taken by Soundwave and brought to Megatron, who wanted to study his technorganic body and copy it to create an army of human replicant Decepticons.
Cloud was able to convince Megatron that he was a greater asset, and in return for Nimbus's freedom he went out to kill the Autobots, starting with Bumblebee. However, mid-way through killing the little yellow beep-bot, he couldn't go through with it and instead, was convinced by Optimus to join them on a rescue mission.
Nimbus was broken free, Megatron was Balhaumut'd through his ship's hull and things seemed to get back to normal. Nimbus went back to live with Cloud, in another universe where he was a healer. While he didn't particularly like having to remain in disguise all the time, he convinced himself that it wasn't going to be a permanent way of life.
It ended up being exactly that, hence him running off to join the Autobots for his own sanity.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?People got fucking pissed that I brought Bee so close to death, I remember.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I flipped a coin to decide if Cloud would have the balls to do it.
He's an enormous pussy, you see.
Katarina and Liman were probably his two best non-Cloud friends.
He accidentally killed a guy keeping Katarina safe, which fucked him up bad.

I'm better at drawing transformers than Riv, tho.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Spaz has already contributed the X-Rated bonus screen of what Bike!Nimbus and Cloud get up to when the cameras stop rolling.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Anyway, starting on the srs drawing stuff now.
The more panels I do, the less detail. How many panels do you want, Spaz? Give me an idea how you want this laid out.

Your vast array to my narrow band.
