Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Kid Prime's room!

Gee fellas, though I am LOATHE to bust up your little mutual appreciation party , I simply couldn't let this 100th post milestone pass me by! *giggle*

Okay. I've made my last tweaks of the week.

Let me know if this is more to your liking, KP.

Gary, if I wasn't already in love, I would be in love.

One of my very favorite Autobots!

12. Wheeljack



Function: Mechanical Engineer

Wheeljack likes to invent things. Though there are better Autobot scientists for research and analysis (Perceptor comes to mind,) there is none better at whipping up something new. Though Wheeljack's main priority is coming up with new innovations in Autobot weaponry to defeat the Decepticons, he is a bit of a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to science. Wheeljack is dedicated to his work in the lab and works tirelessly (though he wouldn't call it work, he's having a blast!) His greatest success is undoubtedly the creation of the Dinobots.

Wheeljack outfits himself with weapons of his owon creation frequently. Two of those he has used successfully in the past are a magnetic inducer and gyro-inhibitor shells. In vehicle mode, Wheeljack is the Autobot most adept at manuevering, which can come in handy in combat (particularly retreat) situations. As a fighter, Wheeljack is fairly average, but his usefulness to the Autobots in his inventing capacity is so great that he hardly ever sees combat. He also acts as a second doctor to the Autobots, aiding the often-overworked Ratchet. Wheeljack's main weakness is that sometimes he allows his fondness for creating and his creations to blind him to the bigger picture.

Hey KP! Just wandering around poking my nose into everything, scoping LegionWorld out. Nice room!

It's starting to feel like home already!

Just stopped by for a visit...

It was good to see ya, kid! Stop by more often!

I wanted a Cabbage Patch Kid but I didn't get one.

tsk tsk KP -- you let this thread get pushed to page two of all things1 What would Optimus say??

Btw, are you picking up "Transformers / G.I. Joe"? I only glanced at it and I'm not sure, but it might be an alternate universe kinda thing -- Decepticons were being retrofitted to transform into Cobra vehicles -- it was odd but that's kind of a cool concept.

Just passing by!

Thanks for the push-up, Drake!

Haven't checked that one out... it IS kind of a nice homage to the original GI Joe/ Transformers miniseries, but it looked a bit silly to me. I may wait for the TPB.

A tawdry attempt to increase his own post count, if ever I saw one.

Just stopping in to return some umm.. clothing items you left in my room the other night.

I washed them...

Hey KP! Where ya at!

Wheeljack's partner in the lab!

13. Ratchet



Function: Medic

Ratchet tries to keep positive about things. Difficult, when he finds himself patching up his broken comrades time and time again. However, his positiveness very seldom diminishes. He is the image of the crusty, sarcastic, wimsome doctor. Kind of like Dr. McCoy without the southern accent. He is one of the more longstanding assets to the team, and as such, he generally has Prime's ear. He is certainly one of the Autobots that Optimus Prime relies most on, and he is the best all-around medic of any Transformer (Hook is a bit better as a surgeon, but not much.)

Ratchet has practically no combat capabilities, other than in a limited capacity as a rescue vehicle. Therefore, he very rarely sees combat. Being that his schedule is certainly one of the most hectic of all the Autobots, no one minds the fact that he doesn't see combat much. Certainly, if he wasn't around, the Autobots wouldn't be able to fight the Decepticons for very long, because his tireless efforts at their doctor is the main thing that keeps them going against all odds.

Cool, but why do you say he has he no combat capability, those look like mighty powerful gun turrets in the bottom picture.

"...Is that a gun in the picture or is he just glad to see me?"

V

LOL. True, but I think those are supposed to be medical instruments of some type. He certainly never showed any combat capacity in the cartoom or the comic book. As a matter of fact, there was an issue of the comic which had Ratchet playing a cat-and-mouse game with Megatron for the survival of all the other Autobots. It was gripping because Ratchet had to figure out how to beat an unbeatable foe, because he had absolutely no combat capabilities whatsoever that could even scratch Megatron.

Let's just say that after that issue, Megatron had a special hatred for the Autobot medic...

I collected the "Transformers" comic when it first came out for a couple of years til the quality got really bad. I remember the best artist that book had early on was Kyle Baker (who has moved on to much bigger and better things) -- He seemed to actually understand the robotic forms and how to make them look cool.

I find it odd that Wheejack frequently seemed bow-legged. I mean, what's up with *that*? Is he looking to take a crap or something??

Since Lashie Poo had to go to work, I thought I'd sneak across the hall to see if everyone is decent in Jeffy's room.

Peek-A-Boo!

<<<Shoves the naked Rokk Steady into the closet hurriedly and grabs the sheet on the bed to cover up his... uh, personal transformer>>>

Um, yes, Princess? You were saying???

Wow. You're certainly more than meets the eye. From a covertible to a semi, virtually in the blink of an eye!

You invited me over here to see this!

Hey! Where are my clothes?

God, I feel like Ashton Kutchner right about now...
