After exemplary success with the first defender, Hyperion, Tempest was built to continue the Tekk project. Utilizing a different set of abilities and powers, Exarch hopes to widen the usefulness of the defender line.

Build 5.48.1 : Tempest Tekk

Analysis: There appears to be an underlying corrupting within subject Tempest's personality subroutine. Exarch Techs have made several attempts to isolate and correct the instability with no change. They believe this is tied to Tempest's dark energies, and as a result the next Tekk project has taken a slightly new direction.

After playing Hyperion for a while, and playing with a Gravity Control/Storm Summoning Controller friend, I thought it'd be fun to make a Storm defender of my own.I figured Storm/Electricty was a fairly common defender build, so I went with Storm/Dark instead for the more intriguing combination. Tempest makes for a very interesting play, just to say the least.

Interestingly, it also could make for a very creepy/thrilling hero, with potential to turn evil, should I go that way. Thunder showers make people sleepy, especially at night, and things tend to slip by more easily when folks are drowsy, or after twilight.

I've gotten many compliments on Tempest's costume, which just makes me happy to think I build cool looking robots.
