The basic idea for this character creation challenge is simple. Someone posts two odd-couple character concepts and the phrase "together, they fight crime", as was once common in television and movies. Someone else then posts stats for those characters and another "they fight crime" concept for someone else to flesh out. Television and movies can be ripped off, but they can also be original ideas.
The inspiration for this thread was Steel Justice, an unaired cop show pilot.
He's a cop with a big gun whose son was killed by a bomb meant for him and he's the cops dead son reincarnated as a giant robot dragon. Together, they fight crime.
The size-changing can't be replicated by spirits or AIs, but both are reasonable explanations for the son's mind existing inside the giant robot dragon.

EDIT: Damn, tried to get one for someone else and got the two results from this thing that you can't really do in SR. (Mermaid and time-traveller.)
It is an androgynous hemaphrodite ex-porn starlet. She is a left on the shelf virgin who can only get it in virtual reality. Together, they fight crime.
He's a grim obsessed multimillionare martial artist and gadgeteer. He's a wisecracking teenaged orphan gymnast from the streets. Together, they fight crime.
He's a forlorn vampire who got his soul back. She's a bratty vampire slayer. Together, they fight vampires.
(Alas, the mechanics won't work so well in SR4.)
He's a cybered troll. She's a vouduin. Her spirits possess him, then she hides in a bunker while sustaining buff spells. Together, they fight crime. Pass me some more dice, please.
He shoots people in the face for money. She's a hacker. Together, they do crime.
