How YOU doin'?

[namesnotprowl]

This is Jayde, back again with a new character (or rather an old character), and breaking the mold a bit because he isn't a silent video game protagonist. Instead, he's a snarky alien robot that finds you squishies marvelously entertaining. Especially when he chases you.

This is Barricade, that one cop car from that movie about those transforming robots. He's showing up after his stint in axiomnexus, which is basically what would happen if Sacrosanct was run by giant robots and covered in red tape. He's showing up with medical knowledge of most Cybertronians, regardless of reality (since all of them showed up in the Nexus), a useless comm bolt, and a new and improved face. Basically he went from this to this, but he still has four optics. And his holoform is semi-solid and looks like the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Oops?

ALSO, he is prone to making pop culture references. What does this mean? Possible fourth-walling. Anything from the summer of 2009 and earlier is potential fodder for him. So this is also serving as a permission post for that.
Are you okay with him knowing your character's canon? Are you not? COMMENT! If it's any consolation, his canon is technically fourth-walled IN his canon (silly ARGs), so he's unlikely to directly mention that their canon is a book/movie/video game/whatever. And he is fourth-wallable by anyone that could logically recognize the Decepticon symbol on his police shield (which is right in front of his door in vehicle mode and up on his pauldron as a tire guard in his base mode).

I will hopefully be posting a log with him tomorrow so everyone can go bug the car that's randomly sitting in Some Zone. Fair warning: if you get in his cab, he will lock the doors and drive you around like a maniac at dangerous speeds. He won't hurt anyone, he's just out to scare some folks because he loves doing that and it's been so long since he had any stupid monkeys to play with.

two 'cons and one is human. how shall he ever practice medicine now?
at least he'll understand, since he would have done the same if he didn't know his roboboyfriend got an exit visa? not... that he shall ever speak of this roboboyfriend.

shockwave will practice medicine on him obviously. and film it so he can watch and learn.
they will just have so many awkward conversations. never ending conversations because this one does not shut up. shockwave has been wanting someone to talk to. barricade is doomed

[namesnotprowl]

clearly they are both the red medic.
well, at least cade is used to someone talking nonstop, since he had frenzy and all. he'll get over it

[notsoloyal]

pfffffffffft. they both work on fixing someone. all the animals shockwave has collected pop out of random places

so much talk. SO MUCH TALKING. shockwave will love him

[namesnotprowl]

"dug, no, get out of those wires!"

he will be so baffled by that. he trusts shockwaves not at all but now one likes him bzuh

[notsoloyal]

"what is... how did my spider get in the-- NO DRILLER BAD THAT IS NOT A PLACE TO BURROW"

once he's comfortable around him he'll probably complain about how he was SO ALONE and how weird that feeling was. barricade please to be explaining emotions

[namesnotprowl]

"BAD, BAD DRILLER, STOP THAT." pfff did i mention barricade hates spiders?

aww, barricade will understand that. bonding over FOREVER ALONE. and he will explain emotions as best he can, you poor thing.

[notsoloyal]

oh dear. well. shockwave just has one he plays with, the others are experiments. but the one he favors isn't too big, and has a paperclip gun stuck to it

two years and he still has no idea what half of them are or how to control them. he will make it up to him by making energon and listening to his woes

[namesnotprowl]

d'aww, paperclip gun. as long as it doesn't try to crawl into his circuits, barricade shouldn't spaz too much.

you poor dear. uncle cade will make it all better. and hopes you don't mind endless complaining about how overbearing his soundwave is and how much his megatron neglects all of them.

[notsoloyal]

he doesn't really bring it out of his apartment much, so he should be good.

you are a very young uncle, uncle cade. he is all for megatron bashing, but will stick up for the soundwave forever.

[namesnotprowl]

gaaaaw, you sound like ironhide, man. and you only defend him because the tyran one didn't stick his tentacles all under your plating like you were a japanese schoolgirl.

[notsoloyal]

tentacles are pretty hot...

[namesnotprowl]

dude they really aren't...

but if you're into that i've got a pair in my shoulders that i never use mostly.

[notsoloyal]

juuuust saying i don't really have a problem with tentacles
having a problem would be illogical
