Description
There aren't just twelve animal signs of the Chinese Zodiac, but five elements too- Fire, Metal, Wood, Earth and Water.This got me thinking which of these elments my Zodiacbot OCs would represent. Steelspur would obviously be Metal, and Firebrand Fire. I thought I would fill in the gaps, creating 4 other 'alternate dimension' Salvage ship crews, consisting of the following:
A Captain- the role fulfilled by Katana in this dimension.
A Pilot- the role fulfilled by Hyperspace in this dimension.
A Navigator- the role fulfilled by Wormhole in this dimension.
A Data Analyst- the role fulfilled by Bamboozle, and later Megabyte, in this dimension.
An Engineer- the role fulfilled by Greasemonkey in this dimension.
A Medic- the role fulfilled by Squealer in this dimension.
A Gunner- the role fulfilled by Buckshot in this dimension.
A Fire Control mech- the role fulfilled by Firebrand in this dimension.
2 Salvage mechs- a role fulfilled by Oxide and Ramshackle in this dimension.
3 Search and Rescue mechs- a role fulfilled by Steelspur, Ratrun and Lonewolf in this dimension.
plus 2 ground crew who would remain back at the landing pad.
A loader mech- the role fulfilled by Boxpile in this dimension.
A landing pad technician- the role fulfilled by Fission in this dimension.
Each of these four new crews would also crash into Earth and get reformatted into the signs of the Chinese Zodiac (plus a Panda, Crane and Carp).
HANGFIRE- HOVER TRUCK.
SHIP- RETRIBUTOR SALVAGE OFFICER. FUNCTION- GUNNER.
Hangfire always waited for the ideal shot when knocking a path through Cybertron's asteroid field, and her patience made her a great student of the martial arts of China.
MONKEYPUZZLE- HOVER TRUCK. (A.K.A. PUZZLER)
SHIP- ANDROMEDA SALVAGE VESSEL. FUNCTION- DATA ANALYST.
Monkeypuzzle is an excellent fighter, using feints and dummy strikes to confuse her enemies. She can even make her concussion-chuku invisible.
NUTCRACKER- HOVER TRUCK.
SHIP- CAPRICORN SALVAGE VESSEL. FUNCTION- SALVAGE.
Nutcracker always was an agile mech, and uses this to evade her opponents strikes whilst simultaneously setting herself up for attacks of her own.
GREASEMONKEY- HOVER TRUCK.
SHIP- ZODIAK SALVAGE VESSEL. FUNCTION- ENGINEER.
This dimension's Monkey- profile here- f-for-feasant-design.deviantar…
STEAMCLEAM- HOVER TRUCK.
SHIP- STARFALL SALVAGE VESSEL. FUNCTION- SEARCH AND RESCUE.
Steamclean spends her spare time laying in a hot oil bath whenever necessary. She thinks this planet is cold. based her on a Japanese Macaque, the only watery monkey/ape I could think of.
