Cyborg Bee
And here's the one I know everyone's been waiting for: bumblebee <3
Yes. Here's Bee, and with Bee there are some things I'd like to explain after you view the pic:
Lady V and I were tinkering around with the whole "Why would Bee hate Ratchet so much for saving his life?" thing from sbx's original prompt. Finally it came to us: reincarnation. Feasibly if Bee thought it was his time to go, and Ratchet disrupted that, it makes sense that Bee's reincarnation cycle would be 'disrupted' because of Ratchet's "help".
I know from experience that when people think of Bee, hell, when I think of Bee, I think either Caucasian or Asian decent. It never occurs to me to make Bee any other world race. But now that we've made him Hindi (another note on that later), plot-wise it makes much more sense.
Now, on the whole Hindi thing. Lady V did some research and found that the really religious men keep their heads either completely shaven or have very short hair, and they certainly do not color it. We've decided that colored hair would work here because:
a) The hair they have isn't real hair, it's synthetic (like Elita is really a natural pinkette?) and can thus be any shape, size, or color.
b) Bee likes Sam. A lot. Sam thinks Bee's hair is really cool. Bee keeps the hair to keep Sam's attention. This was a bit of info I didn't have room to add in his bio, but here's how we got the possessive nature to work:
The cybernetic process itself is very traumatic and can only be safely attempted on individuals who meet a certain criteria. Usually this means a series of tests performed by schooled scientists before a person is considered eligible for the process (there are a few exceptions, but those will be revealed in later bios ;P).
When Bee was injured, however, there was no time to perform the tests. Prime of course is the kind of person who would feel guilt (and probably still feels guilt) over a civilian being injured because he was unable to control his men.
Thus Prime orders Ratchet to do whatever it takes to save Bee, no matter the cost to Prime's reputation. Ratchet quickly decides the only way to save Bee is to turn him into a cyborg (Ratchet hears Bee's protests, but as he is too preoccupied to download Hindi, he does not realize what Bee is really trying to say).
The transformation was a success, except that Bee was not the best candidate mentally to go with the process. Because of this he suffers from a slight personality flux that was not present when he was human. Bee connects quickly with Sam because of their similar situations and becomes possessive of this relationship and thus this person (at first it is not a conscious choice) because it is one of the few things in his personal life he still has control of. Bee owes the government more than he will ever earn because of the cost of the process, and thus Bee will most likely be working off his dept the rest of his life.
aaaandd... if you're still reading (for which I thank you) Lady V would also like some prompts concerning the cyborg characters, although maybe it would be a better idea to wait until all the bios are done?
Thoughts?
EDIT: And by prompts, LV knida meant either something you like to hear or see ("It was a dark and stormy night,")or a situation you like to have occur (Ratchet/Ironhide + Pink Teddy Bear) etc. ^_^;;
