This guy? OK.

TFA Lockdown ('cause there's some other versions now, but I gather they are fairly similar):

1. He really does canonically use nick names and rather informal speech patterns.
2. He is not without martial skill, but he's become overall reliant on his mods and devices, so there's always that opening for characters who do truly understand mystical forces and sparks to defeat him, or for his tech to somehow be used against him.
3. He sincerely doesn't have any loyalty toward any faction. (His toy just needs a brand for legal protections in our real world)
4. He will strip a bot for parts; and he won't feel bad about it.
5. He's relentless in all of his pursuits, whether a specific bounty or his drive to keep upgrading.

Bonus: It's probably fair to say that he likes and finds thrills in the striping, hunting and upgrading (from 4-5).

i was cool with whatever version you settled on. ^_^

i really like point #2. it's believable, because it is easy to become reliant on one thing that seems to give you so much power, but it's also easy to get around if you know that's what you're up against. (and also canonically accurate, as Ratchet kicked his ass with/because of his EMP generators. ^_^)

You lot need to stop fourth-walling over here! It's not like she's giving out step-by-step instructions on how to defeat any one of us! Slagging Azrael Persephone!

Mechs and femme have shown both an awareness of the humans and an utter disregard for the fourth-wall.

Yes....well...honeymoons take a long time! Apparently. Some couples never return.

Not that I'm staying away long, after leaving Rumble in charge!
