Description
Back before the war Carbon-8 worked in the same dockyard as Dion. He was a hard worker and went out of his way to help those around him fulfill their primary objectives as quickly and as efficiently as possible. He still has this outlook on life after enlisting with the Autobot army, getting his fuel payload to wherever it needs to be to turn the tide of war against the evil Decepticons. His fellow Autobots may use Energon, but their equipment and machinery need a constant supply of their own fuel.

I came across a picture of an MP-44 Optimus Prime that had a Fanta based colour scheme and bottle hauling trailer. I had already done a version based on the old G1 'Pepsi' Optimus Prime - www.deviantart.com/f-for-feasa… so thought I'd create a character based on this one too. Went with Carbon-8 for a name for obvious fizzy drink based reasons, and also because it hints at another G1 Prime recolour that I had used - www.deviantart.com/f-for-feasa…

I had him working in the docks alongside Dion as them both having an orange and blue colour scheme was too good to ignore. Maybe it was like a uniform? Maybe Huffer worked there at some point as well. Blimey that's a lot of orange and blue trucks.

The motto is a bit of a stretch, but I wanted 'physical' in there to reference 'fizz' and the wrath part is there to reference Tim Roth's Mr. Orange in reservoir Dogs. (It makes more sense if you're English as we say WrOth rather than WrAth)
