Alistar was born in Daytona beach to a family of mechanics, his fondest memories growing up were helping his mother repair the old clunky motorcycle the bikers would drag in from all across the country. He spent most of his time learning to tinker with the left over tools his parents would leave around in order to impress his friends at school. After high-school he started to fall in with a bad crowd, taking on criminal jobs with other bikers. one day his luck ran out, shot, betrayed, and left for dead in his work shop. he prayed, begged, and pleaded out loud for god to help him - but it wasn't god who answered the call. The gears are what spoke for it, and through metal and steel came his new form. Free from imperfection he grew to know he was perfect, and forever stuck in this strange new world.
