#but what does it mean to have extra faces as a triple changer? is it limited to the number of alts you have?

Okay, BETC!Blitzwing having introjects based on Astrotrain and Octane is an absolutely galaxy brained idea, but did you mean it in the sense of two of pre-existing alters (most likely Hothead and Random) being based on them to serve as their “replacements” (perhaps for added angst, Blitzwing having done so unconsciously due to a mixture of the Triple Changer procedure messing with his memories and dissociative amnesia) or Blitzwing having other alters besides the three he usually displays that are repressed and/or can’t properly express themselves due to lacking their own faceplates? Both of them are equally good, I’m just curious to see if you were referring to a specific one,
It's an either or situation because as soon as that idea propped up I went to look into the personalities of Astrotrain and Octane to see if they matched any of the face alts, not that the original G1 personalities dictate anything about TFA characteristics considering how many characters (including Optimus himself) has a different twist to their personality. Of course, not every alter in a system fronts (or is even active) so having fellow triple changer headmates that might speak or observe through one of the fronting faces of Blitzwing is still rotating in my mind, if they haven't gone dormant.
If Blitzwing has exomemories from Astrotrain and Octane then his earlier Autobot experiment days would be muddled (more than they already were) by proxy of the fact these introjects may have taken some of his own direct trauma and hold it under their own names, like 'dealing with base frame abuse' from Blitzwing's pre-existing warframe being allocated to Octane with his flight frame or 'being turned into a tool for war' onto Astrotrain's frame alteration into galactic soldier transport vehicle. If they ever were to front maybe they'd borrow a face they prefer or can use to present themselves more accurately.
#ask#anonymous#blitzwing#tfa blitzwing#transformers#tfa#BETCs#bot experiment triple changers#maccadam#the blitzwing we see now isn't quite the same blitzwing that was fresh of the experiment table#depending on the logic of the experiment the faces may be built in or as an unintended bonus#the latter seems more likely because the autobot scientists pride themselves on efficiency#(whether you like their methods and ideologies or not)#so they may consider giving extra faces a weird thing to do especially for their custom war machines#but what does it mean to have extra faces as a triple changer? is it limited to the number of alts you have?#are the faces self-built to fit the vehicles and act as root mode?#i know in the almanac which implies ba as behind the operation to have given blitz the extra faces#were they in fact locked to one face until they had gotten someone to give them the three?#three for the alters that wanted to front? more for the active alts? at request of the front alters that wanted a face?#who knows beyond a cool character design feature that becomes subject to human representation#because by cybertronian standards blitz may be the only system to have it like they do#a DID based on the experiment to give the original jet blitzwing a third mode and secondary alt#even if the bots went to their own significantly less warframe civ mecha that's still at most 4 (living) with this DID#astrotrain and octane may not both fronting because they are already in a frame not their own

Megatron X Nemesis + 💛
Send a SHIP + 💛 and I will tell you my thoughts on a child of theirs.
NAME: Enigma
GENDER: mech
APPEARANCE: While not quite a titan, Enigma is still huge; he would easily tower over Megatron, an odd 60 or so feet tall, and he would carry many of the same traits of Nemesis; the same sleek, angled plating and large audial fins, the same broad shoulders that end in sharp upward slopes, though he would lack the synthetic mane that the warship bears. He has segmented wings, two different sets that hang low on his back, the plating of his wings an iridescent purple, flashing blue whenever he turns.
That same color shades most of his frame, but his hands - claws, wicked and large, with an extra digit each - are a dark, shiny black, as are his joints and abdomen. He has the one set of optics, a vibrant red set into a pale grey face. Large mandibles cover the lower half of his face, akin to a mask, and once moved he reveals a normal intake, mouth the same flat, displeased line that shadows Megatron's own resting bitch face.
He has three alt modes, a triple changer: an anti air cannon, meant to attach to Nemesis in ship mode, a Cybertronian class ground vehicle, meant to ferry smaller mechs inside of him over terrain too rough and dangerous for those of a smaller stature, and finally a bomber/cargo plane, often used as a transport shuttle in a pinch.
FACECLAIM: ( if applicable )…
PERSONALITY: Tough, stubborn and unshakable. Nothing ever seems to faze him, to surprise him, and very few have ever seen him be scared or wary; he was the son of the warlord Megatron and the warship Nemesis, what does he have to fear? Of course, this means he has the habit of charging straight into danger without a thought of his own safety, and sometimes he picks fights with those that make a habit of voicing their complaints near him. However, he's also extremely protective and maternal, often fussing over companions and the injured, whether or not he knows them personally never matters.
He can also, as said by both family and the occasional terrified medic, be "just as feral and murderous" as the rest of his siblings. Perhaps that's why he's closest to Crawler - they both like to terrorize mechs.
POWERS / ABILITIES: ( if applicable )… He does have minor mimicry abilities, like Jet, but it really only reflects in his color and the sleekness of his plating. He tries to use it to put those around him at ease with his nearly alien anatomy (thanks to being the child of a titan)
MISC: As a sparkling, he was able to roll into a ball and bounce/roll after his creators; it was not uncommon for Megatron to be followed around by a little cheeping ball of sparkling, and soon after, followed by his swiftly growing child. Megs probably stopped a lot to let Enigma catch up to him, his legs were a bit stubby in the early stages.

Ectober Day 18: Ancient -  Adulting: But Ghostly Chap. 2: The Chronic Age Changer
Screwing up in the Fenton Lab was a pretty normal regular thing, but screwing up in such a way to botch someone’s age and humanness without actually changing said age and humanness was a weird one. The trio mess with the school, ClockWork messes with everyone, and Danny? Well, he is the mess.
Sam and Tucker are effectively ransacking Danny’s closet for clothing. Considering he was the only one that worn clothing in the triple XL size even though he was a medium on a good day. Though Sam has some fish netting to work with, shit was stretchy as Hell. So she cut out the crotch of a pair to make for a decent long sleeve fishnet crop top. Thank the Zone her bra cup size hadn’t changed. She’d also ripped up one of Danny’s older SlipKnot shirts -why did he even have this? He didn’t listen to SlipKnot?- and fashioned a nice skirt out of it with safety pins. The arm sleeves made for nice little pockets. And by nice, she means bigger that what girls' clothing usually came with.
Tucker was pretty well feeling stuck with a pinstriped green sweater and Tripp pants that were way too bloody long. Oh well, the bottoms were already torn to shit. In fact, did Danny own anything that wasn’t in questionable to piss poor condition?
The two turning to Danny, rolling their eyes at him still wearing the sweater sweats combination from yesterday. Him nodding curtly at the mirror, “this will have to do”, before turning to his friends and jabbing a thumb towards the door. Both of them walking out with him to go get breakfast.
Maddie grins at the trio of ‘teens’, “sleep well? No problems with your bodies?”.
Danny grins, “nope”, and honestly? It’s a pure miracle he wasn’t wakened up by some ghost or another. Sam and Tucker both immediately pointing at Danny and nodding. Maddie grinning at them, “good. I’d like to give you guys a very quick check over before you head out though. If that’s alright?”, while setting the pancakes down on the table.
The trio glance at each other and shrug. Looking to the Fenton Matriarch and speaking in unison, “sure”, making her smile more as everyone -mostly Tucker- starts stuffing their faces.
-
The whole getting checked over thing had been smooth sailing and show precisely zero change, which was technically good. More or less anyway. Maddie waving bye to them as they head out the doors. Danny glances between his to friends, “so, the shit you telling your folks? Because I doubt just not going home even resembles a plan”.
Sam rolls her eyes at him, “that’s literally one of your emergency plans”.
“Sam, no one is going to try murdering us over this”, Danny tilts his head, “or at least now that we don’t look like ghosts anymore”. Tucker inspects his hand, “actually I think we do but the spray stuff just cast some illusion shit”.
“Tuck, if that were the case then my hair would feel like fire. It does not feel like fire”. Both his friends grimace slightly but nod in agreement. Though Tucker hums, “I think the illusion includes feeling. Because that would be one mind fuck otherwise”. Sam just groans loudly, effectively communicating that he should shut the fuck up.
Danny rolls his eyes, “anyway, I’m going to run off and see Clocky pretty well as soon as we’re out of sight of FentonWorks. Not like school matters much for me and they can’t be bothered calling my folks any more”.
Tucker points at him, “and we still can’t decide if that’s depressing or not. Though yeah, you go do that”. Sam nodding, “and really? This ‘adult’ thing could easily be used as an excuse why you’re not there and a reasonable one at that”.
Danny blinks, genuinely looking pleasantly surprised, “huh. Who would have thought I ever would have a really good excuse to use?”.
The other two deadpanning, “no one”.
Tucker throwing his hands behind his head, “but who the heck’s going to believe this at first anyway? I’m mean I know I’ve always been good looking but this? Ho boy those poor ladies”. Sam predictably smacks him.
Danny shoves Tucker gently, “honestly man?”, pointing at Sam, “it’s her that’s gonna shock people. Ancients, just the hair alone will shock”. Sam lifting up the end of her hair and muttering, “true. This is going to annoy the heck out of me”, which everyone’s laughs at a little.
Danny glances around before saluting his friends, “whelp, I’m off. Enjoy the Hell of school!”, then switching to an almost comically singsong voice, “🎵Well I’m off to see the wizard🎵“, then promptly falls through a purple portal.
Sam blinks, “I still can’t believe they respond to that”. Tucker snickers, “eh they just like making him break out into song randomly”. Sam just snorts at that as they turn to go the little ways further before entering the school doors to death-Hell.
-
Danny stretches his arms up before dropping them and grinning wide as he spots his mentor, who looks fairly pleased with themselves. “Enjoying the view?”.
“Very much so, Daniel”, ClockWork turns to him and changes to their child form, moving to shit on his shoulder. Danny eyeing them and chuckling, “damn Clockpops, you are tiny. I mean, you usually are in this form but now it’s like, extra tiny”. ClockWork just chuckles faintly, their small smile growing ever so slightly. Which makes Danny smiles himself before gesturing his hands up and down himself, “so....about this....”.
-
Meanwhile. Sam and Tucker walk down the Casperhigh halls getting stared at by every person which was only making the pair of them smirking. None of the teachers looked to be trying to stop them, so obviously Danny’s folks went and called the school. Which was surprisingly responsible coming from them. Neither are surprised when Valerie’s the first to ask what the literal fuck is going on here.
Valerie slams her locker closed as the two come up next to her to open their lockers. She looks them up and down, managing to sigh and scowl at the same time, “okay. What did Danny’s crazy parents do know?”.
Sam points at Tucker and blocks his face off with the locker door, “actually it’s bad luck Tuck’s fault”.
“They invented the stupid spray stuff! And they’re the ones who didn’t make an undo button!”.
Sam outright ignores him. “He knocked over some spray stuff that made us look like adults. The hair’s pissing me off, wanna help me whack it off in the bathroom?”. She didn’t seem to have nerves -ghost nerves but still- in her hair now, so it should be fine.
Tucker sticks his head over, “well I think I look great”, and nods curtly. Sam muttering, “switch places and then we’ll see how you would feel”. Which makes Tucker tilt his head, “I’d be a girl then. Which could be fun”, which of course gets him immediately slapped by both girls.
Valerie grabs Sam’s arm and starts dragging her off to the bathrooms, scowling, “looks like you’re only physically adults”. Making Sam laugh as they get into the bathroom, while Valerie produces a pair of scissors from somewhere. No one bothered questioning how or where she always magically seemed to get sharp pointy things. Sam and Tucker though, are pretty sure her suit just makes them with its nanobots.
Paulina and Star glance over and watch the scene of Valerie yanking out one of the under sink stools and starting to hack at Sam’s hair. Both popular girls grimacing. Paulina eventually sighs, “okay no, machetona (tomboy) honey. You use scissors like peinabombillas (someone who combs light bulbs); are you trying to make her a complete pescada (butterface)?”, and stalks over, Star leaning against the counter.  
Valerie and Sam both turn to roll their eyes at the popular girl, “are you offering to cut my hair? You?”.
Paulina rolls her eyes and huffs, but it’s a dainty pretty huff, “well you can’t have hair longer than mine. Think of how that would make me look? Basura (garbage). And I’m in here so people will simply assume I was involved in this current hair disaster, which would be even worse to be associated with. I want to be a hair fashion hairdresser you know. After all-”, flipping her silky smooth flawless hair, “-clearly I know a thing or two”.
Sam and Valerie exchanges glances, speaking in unison, “figures”, but Valerie does push the stool over to be in front of the mirror. Paulina producing her own scissor from her purse, they’re small nail scissors though.
Paulina looking her over and humming, “pixie cut that’s a little more high fashion? That would piss that annoying mother of yours”, it was no secret, the entire student body hated Pamela Manson, though Sam has no idea how they all still didn’t know her family was stinking rich. Neither did Tucker, Valerie, or Danny. But considering the school still hadn’t figured Danny out, they were probably just supremely oblivious... or stupid.
Star taps her chin gently, “if we had clippers then an undercut would really do it”.
“Her hair is thick enough for it”.
Both popular girls blink at Valerie producing one, Sam snickering, “I’m all for this. Fuck my hair up”.
Paulina sighs but motions for Valerie to come over and starts pointing out where to shave and where -for the love of everything- not to. Star speaking up again while digging in her purse, “well could also put that red moulding paste on the tips of a spikier look”, looking at Sam and Valerie, “we brought it for the boys to look more intense at the game”.
Paulina hums, “pretty sure Dash just wants to mess Fenton’s hair up with it”, pointing at Sam and Valerie, “but you didn’t hear that from me, chica (girl)”.
Valerie tilts her head at Sam, “where is that boy anyway?”. While Sam scowls at Paulina but answers Valerie, “doing shit with his parents to fix this. Also-”, pointing at the bottle of red, “-why not”, smirking, “I wouldn’t recommend going after Danny though. I doubt Dash could even reach Danny’s hair effectively”.
Valerie blinks and laughs, almost fucking up with the clippers, “so the shortest boy in the school is now the tallest? That is hilarious”. Sam just smirks.
The clipper noises wind up attracting curious girls in which just leads to a hair party in the bathroom. None giving a damn about first block. Meanwhile, the teachers are all just very confused and annoyed. They’d heard one or two of the Defect Quartet were involved though and thusly stayed the Hell away. Especially since none of them knew where Daniel was, meaning he might be involved. Mrs. Suspensekee was the most on edge about that considering she had both male halves of the quartet in her biology class and only one was here, his feet up on Daniel’s chair and getting his facial hair ogled by all the boys around; he was clearly enjoying it very much.
Kwan looks overly excited as he speaks, “goddamn that’s so manly! You guys so have to sneak this stuff to school. I want to know adult me too!”, which predictably encourages a round of cheers.
Tucker waves everyone off like he’s calming a group of cheering fangirls, “now now, it only works around Danny and does more than just adultify you”, finger-gunning stupidly, “also ghostifies you but we fixed that, not without getting a face full of ecto-weapons though”. That absolutely makes the entire class cringe, some even experiencing flashbacks to their own unfortunate run-ins with armed Fenton’s.
Jesse waves him off right back, “dude, I’m down to see ghost me too”, which gets more cheering. Nobody questioning why this stuff only works around Danny, he was weird, that was practically expected. Jesse pointing at him, “and does Danny have facial hair too?”, because honestly? no one could imagine that.
Tucker laughs, because again with the fire hair, not that he’s going to mention that. He’s not about to Danny-dude dirty like that, “he totally took after his ‘uncle’ for that. Rocking a spikey goatee”. He’s also pretty sure he saw Danny put his hair back in a low ponytail without even realising he was kinda copying Vlad. Maybe adult Danny looking slightly Vlad-like was a sign the guy’s current trend of not being a villainous psycho constantly was going to be a long term thing. Vlad surprisingly didn’t suck at being a mayor. Guy might get re-elected without overshadowing everyone. He knows Danny’s so going to have to have a talk with him over where all the funds came from to keep up with town repairs. Vlad was an experienced bank robber after all.
Mrs. Suspensekee has to snap for the class to pay attention at this point or nothing’s going to get done.
-
Danny blinks at ClockWork, “you’re joking? Seriously?”, and bends over laughing.
“Indeed I am, they were quite upset”.
Danny laughs some more, “to be fair, Dan getting free and looking human would be pretty upsetting”, sighing, “not that I really appreciate that I look just like him”.
ClockWork doesn’t look away from their screens, “he is you, Daniel. Personalities and choices may differ but genetics and bodies seldom do. You’ll have his suit too, excluding his cape, as an adult ghost as well”, continuing over the boys groan, “it is far better than the green accented monstrosity another timeline featured”.
Danny tilts his head, “oh? That bad?”, and walks over. ClockWork changing the screens to show him and Danny instantly cringes, “okay yeah that’s bad. Why would I do that? What would make me think that looks good? What’s up with the lines all over my neck? Ancients that clashes horribly. And what’s even the point of the wrist blaster? I can shoot ecto-beams already. And the green circle over my crotch? I don’t even want to know. Ew”. ClockWork chuckles lightly and nods in agreement.
ClockWork floats around and fiddles with things some, “how your suit looks isn’t truly up to you I’m afraid. It is much like your skin, a natural part of you that will grow and develop as you do. A human can alter the appearance by tanning or dying their hair, but it never truly changes. Ghosts, however, can not truly alter their base form at all beyond putting things on”.
Danny nods, “like Ember putting clothing over top or Skulker’s suit, right?”.
“Precisely”. ClockWork turns to face him, “now for your current appearance-based predicament, unfortunately your parents are correct, Daniel. This is not something they can correct. Unless of course, you feel like being a full human again”.
Danny immediately blurting out, “Zone no”, honestly? he probably couldn’t handle being a regular human again. Having to actually open doors to go through them? The shame. Having to walk everywhere? How barbaric. ClockWork smirks, “as I thought”.
Danny sighs and slumps down into the purple plush couch, leaning his head back comfortably, “so I’m stuck with this then?”.
ClockWork hums, “think about Dan and I believe you’ll come up with something”. Which makes Danny groan and grumble about never getting straight answers. “Though to answer your friends concerns, no this hardly damages time in anyway”, floating over and wagging their finger in his face, “if it did I would have showed up before your parents saw and that spray would have mysteriously disappeared”. Danny nods and waves his hands around, acknowledging that that was probably pretty accurate and probably should have been obvious to him. ClockWork does something close to a fond sigh and pats his head.
Both turning to the sound of shots, “CLOCKWORK!”. ClockWork turning to Danny, “sounds like it’s time you head back”, holding up a finger, “and I think I might just join you”, promptly changing to their child form and unzipping Danny’s backpack.
Danny screws his face up and starts laughing at ClockWork sticking their small head out of the open top, Danny picking up the backpack, “you know, I don’t think there’s a such thing as bring your ghost to school day, but fuck it, I’m making one”, both of them smirking while Danny puts on his backpack and ClockWork spins their staff to make a portal. The two disappearing through it over the backdrop of screaming Observants.
-
Tucker knocks over his third pan in home ec, tilting his head back and sighing, “being tall is slowly becoming a pain in the ass”.
Ms. Relish sighs, “language, Tucker. Though yes, I would appreciate only having one student that damages practically everything they touch”. Tucker holds up the pan, “but I didn’t dent it?”.
“Which thank you for, but do try to be.. more...”, the teacher trails off as a freaking giant of a man walks in.
Tucker looks around at everyone with a wicked grin splitting across his face, eventually bending over and laughing his ass off at Ms. Relish muttering, “hot damn”.
Danny makes a few facial expressions before settling on a smirk, “why Ms. Relish are you hitting on a student?”, and gives a very overacted charming smile. The teacher chokes, while the rest of the class put together the context clues and scream, “FENTON!”.
Danny bows dramatically, “the one and only”. Then moves to join Tucker, swinging his backpack off his shoulder as he goes. Tucker actually has to sit down on the ground to wheeze when freaking ClockWork pokes their head and arms out, resting their arms on the top of the backpack and throwing a small subtle smirk Tucker’s way.
Practically half the class mutters, “oh yeah that is so Fenton. The fuck is that kid doing”. While Danny waves everyone off over his shoulder, “ignore the little guy, they’re helping sort out some issues in exchange for hiding them from some ghosts annoying them”. The entire class blink at him and shrug after a bit, because come on? it’s Fenton. Lily grumbling, “of course he’d strike a bargain with a ghost”.
Tucker gets up and eyes Danny, “eyeballs?”, while the rest of the class continue to eyeball Danny; and Tucker a little bit but they were at least somewhat used to the guy being tall and sporting dreads. Danny being a brick shit house was a whole different story.
Danny has a ridiculously hard time keeping a straight face as he helps Tucker make the little stir fry dish -like always he was banned from actually touching the food due to multiple ‘food coming to life’ incidences- as everyone starts whispering.
“I can’t believe that’s Fenton, I feel like I’m committing a sin by saying he looks actually good”.
“Do you think literally anyone disagrees? ‘Cause the teach is totally right, damn. Puberty is gonna full body fuck Danny. Hot damn”.
“What the heck caused him to be so.. muscly though?”.
“I honestly wouldn’t even believe this if his dad wasn’t, like, the size of a freaking double-wide door. That man’s bigger than my little buggy car”.
“His dad could also throw your car. And have you seen his mom? Saw them at the swimming pool once and she had a solid pack of abs. Nice rack too”.
“Dude, no. How many times have I told you not to go after people’s moms”.
“Fuck. He could crush my head like a watermelon”.
“I just want to know if he even can use the muscles. Or is it just a looks muscular thing?”.
“Who cares. All I care about is seeing Dash and those other jock jerks cry and go home weeping and begging into their pillows to look like that someday”.
“I’m telling you, Dash is gonna have a beer belly. Totally gonna happen. And what? You gonna climb up to their windows to watch? Break in to collect their tears?”.
“Yes”.
“Doesn't your dad work for a Modeling agency? Should totally sneak a photo and get them to snatch him up early. Age matters you know”.
“Amber... you just want photos”.
“So?”.
“Think I should ask him if he, like, has some secret workout routine he does? ‘Cause no way that all built up in two or so years”.
“Dude, he probably doesn’t even know what he did to get that. You’ve seen that skinny ass twink in gym class, he does not work out. Probably started doing it hardcore after Dash really pissed him off or something”.
“Even if he did freaking steroids he wouldn’t build up that much muscle in two years, you idiot. And the kid makes a point to never change in front of others. Maybe he’s got stuff going on under his baggy ass clothing”.
“Oh fuck, wait, so you think that’s why he wears baggy ass shit? To hide it? But why the Zone would he do that?”.
“Why the Zone did he agree to bring a ghost to school? Why the Zone did he eat a screaming ghost Hot Dog? Why the Zone does he do anything. Don’t question Fenton logic, man”.
“Oh this so has to be his parents fault. Maybe started forcing him to work out to be a hunter. Not like his sisters going to take over their company or whatever”.
“His friends are all pretty fit too though, so must be some kind of group effort”.
“Goth chics always been fit af though. Tucker’s is surprising though. So maybe”.
“Oh whatever, I am so subscribing to whatever the fuck the Fenton family workout is”.
“Its ghost hunting, idiot. Wait, you don’t think-”.
Danny decides to butt in randomly at that, before people start getting ideas, “we have a helmet ghost fighting simulator thing. Makes for an okay workout on low mode”. Tucker pats his shoulder, seeing as the trio knew he never used that thing. No, all this was actual ghost fighting. Danny’s weird-ass biology probably played a part though. Danny was way more muscular than Tucker thinks a person actually can be. Someone would have to dedicate their life to being a muscle builder to achieve something close to this probably.
One of the girls hums, “they should sell that then. ‘Cause clearly it works. Mr. I Could Throw An Entire Brick Wall At Someones Face”.
“That is oddly specific”.
“Could he not?”.
“I didn’t say I was disagreeing”.
Tucker elbows Danny, “Sam got her hair cut by the way. She’s rocking the undercut again”. Danny quirks an eyebrow, “by who??? You cut like you’re drunk and Valerie is more experienced with curly hair I think”.
“Paulina”, Tucker raises and lowers his eyebrows rapidly with a smirk. While Danny raises both of his own eyebrows, “well damn, didn’t see that coming”.
ClockWork gives a cheery, “I did”. Earning chuckles and eyerolls.
ClockWork pipes up again after a while, pointing at the stove, “you're about to burn your food”. Tucker jumping a little, “what? Oh shit!”, and yanks the pan off the stove promptly burning himself and thus shoving it at Danny in a panic, “here! Mr. Cold Touch”. Though due to Tucker’s longer arms he winds up smashing the pan into Danny’s chest and dumping everything on his chest.
Danny stares down at the steaming stir fry covering his chest before dropping his arms to the side -one hand holding the hot pan and thus dropping whatever was actually left in the pan onto the floor- and gives Tucker a deadpan look, “really?”. Tucker bends over laughing immediately, though giving Danny his hand to chill; which Danny takes with an eye roll while mouthing, “you fucker”, down at ClockWork.
Ms. Relish walks over with a sigh, “put the pan in the sink before you burn yourself. And obviously I can’t mark this, but at least it’s not burnt”, that last bit sounds a bit sarcastic. So both boys shrug awkwardly at her; Danny does throw the pan in the sink though. ClockWork just smirks more, which the teacher makes a face at.
No one is surprised when Ms. Relish shoos the boys out, “I've had enough of your destructive tendencies. Out you go”. Though when Danny mumbles, “nice, now I can go change my stir fry covered shirt -fuck you Tuck”, everyone shoots up and over to the door. The teacher sighing and putting her head in her hands as the gaggle of teens poke their heads out the door and shush each other.
Danny and Tucker have their backs to the door but obviously know they’re being watched. Tucker elbowing Danny, whispering, “looks like you’ve got some adoring fans to please”. Danny blinks at him, “I feel like a stripper”, even ClockWork chuckles faintly as Danny hands off his backpack to Tucker.
Literally everyone gapes as Danny pulls off his shirt, rolls his shoulders, balls the shirt up like he’s very used to getting his shirts very messy, and looks over his shoulder to wink at them. Both Danny and Tucker bending over laughing right after while a couple girls fake faint, putting their arm over their foreheads and everything. The noise getting another teacher to stick his head out the door and sputtering in disbelief at Danny. “The Picture Of Dorian Gray! Put on a shirt Mr. Fenton!”.
Danny and Tucker exchange glances. Tucker chuckling, “I like how he doesn’t even need to question who you are”. While ClockWork pulls out a shirt from the backpack and hands it over. Mr. Lancer looking to the tiny ghost, “and for the love of Frankenstein, why do you have a pet ghost?”. The two boys absolutely laugh over that.
-
Valerie chokes in art class after checking her phone, someone having posted a photo of who was apparently Danny and with his clearly messy sweater off halfway. The sweater at least looks like something he owned. Her blurting out, “Danny what the fuck!?!? And how?!?!?”. Mrs. Remi just smiles to herself, Danny was one very interesting student to have. She likes interesting though. Oh yes she does as she watches him rush through the door, “I’m not late!”. Of course he actually was but she currently doesn’t care.
Basically the whole class sputters disbelievingly at the boy but not over his comment.
“WHAT!”.
“Oh Zone that wasn’t a photo edit”.
“Why do you have Thor’s voice? Better yet why do you get to have Thor’s voice?”.
“Holy damn”.
Mrs. Remi stands up, putting her hands on her desk and leaning towards the class, “alright, change of plans. Today we’re doing model studies”, pointing at Danny, “find a pair of shorts, a speedo, or strip”.
Danny blinks at her, “what???”.
She grins meanly, “it’s that or next month we’re having Mrs. Testlaff in here to do it”. The entire class immediately pales.
“Fenton get that sweater off now or so help me”.
“Dear Zone no”.
“For my sanity Fenton, please”.
Valerie stands up loudly, “off or I get the flamethrower. There are some things I don’t want to see”.
Danny just sighs, his life was some serious bullshit. Though Valerie might actually do that. Walking over to Valerie and dropping off his backpack, “you're watching them then, and not going murder happy”.
“What-”, Valerie cuts herself off at ClockWork popping their head out, also sticking out the end of their ghostly tail to wave. Valerie blinks, “what the fuck”. While ClockWork grins, “I’m providing the boy a little advice in exchange for some amusement. This has quite effectively infuriated some annoyances I have the slight misfortune of knowing”.
Valerie looks almost painfully slowly to Danny, “the fuck?”. Danny just smirks, finger-guns and disappears back out the door. Returning seconds later in shorts and just lets Mrs. Remi move him into poses all class.
Danny grumbles as class ends, “this was ridiculous and I feel judged”. Valerie walking over and shoving the backpack at him, “I don’t know why. Your body looks stupid good and that’s honestly freaky”, poking him after he pulls the backpack over his shoulder, “you are like a fucking rock. How, when, why”.
ClockWork pops out of the top of the backpack, “you are quite the rough one, aren’t you, Valerie Gray”. She squints at the ghost before looking to Danny’s face, “okay, and why did you tell It, them, whatever, my name?”.
Danny shrugs, “didn't need too”, glancing at ClockWork, who gives him zero sign to shut the fuck up, so he shrugs again, “they're omniscient”.
Valerie stares at him for a bit, “WHAT”. Making both boy and ghost chuckle and give slightly malicious looking smirks. Which she hits Danny over, “stop being creepy, and fuck, do you have fangs?”. Danny grins toothily over that. Her leaning up and forward, “well damn”. Making him laugh.
Danny readjusts his backpack to bring attention to ClockWork, who helps in that regard by messing up his hair, “and their all-knowingness is helping fix our ageing issues. Being all-knowing and shit, they know the fix which my parents do not”, glaring over his shoulder somewhat fondly, “not that the riddle has been all that helpful”.
Valerie blinks as they head to their last class, “so that’s why they’re with you? You’re bribing a ghost”.
“I already told you that. Less bribe, more equalish exchange of services. As for how this all happened”, gesturing his hand over himself as he skilfully avoids bumping into people, “pretty sure Sam and Tuck already explained”.
She scowls at him, “not that you idiot, the muscle. The height’s obviously your dad, but the rest? The Hell”. Danny honestly doesn’t know how to answer that, “well-”, he thankfully gets saved by Dash; which makes this probably the only time he’s happy to hear someone angrily shouting, “FENTON!”.
Danny very intentionally makes his voice noticeably deep and threatening sounding, “what?!?”, even putting a little fang into it. Even Valerie jerks a little.
Dash skids to a stop and just stares at him. So Danny quirks an eyebrow, sneering, “the fuck do you want, Dash?”. Dash blinks once, twice, and three times, “alright, I’ll bite. How?”, then scowling a little and seemingly regaining some of his lost bravado, “how’d a weak scrawny loser like you get to have this as your adult self or whatever your parents screwed up hairspray thing does”.
ClockWork leans over Danny’s shoulder, holding up a finger, “if I may, Daniel here is simply nice to you and lets you push him around. He’s been stronger than you for a while now”. Danny wants to smack ClockWork.
Dash immediately blurts out, “bullshit”. Danny rolls his eyes and points at Valerie, “Val could surplex you. It’s not that difficult. My dad can throw cars, Dash, and mom can kick a tree in half; this feels like this should have been expected”, rolling his hands, “and you’ve seen the shit Sam can do”.
Dash mutters at the ground, “that girl does scare me”, before looking back to Danny and glaring, “you ain’t no gym freak or anything, Fenton. Just a wimpy weak loser and losers don’t turn out like this. At best they wind up like the mayor, skinny suit-wearing and shit”.
Danny blinks and chuckles, “Dash? Vlad is lowkey ripped. Lean yeah, but he could whoop your ass so fast”.
Valerie gives him a funny look, “how do you know that?”.
Danny rubs his neck, “I may have been responsible for that whole incident where he got recorded on the news live naked”. ClockWork chuckles meanly while Valerie and Dash blurt out, “THAT WAS YOU!?!?”. Danny holds up a finger, “maybe. I’m not confirming or denying shit”.
Dash shakes his head and scowls, attempting to shoulder past Danny, who of course doesn’t move resulting in Dash muttering, “ow”, and very pointedly not rubbing his shoulder.
Valerie and Danny shake their heads but getting going to their class again. Valerie elbowing him as they sit down, “if your folks can’t make something to reverse this then why not something that can just make you guys able to change your physical ages at will or revert time to when you were younger”.
Danny blinks at her, “okay, how much thought did you put into that?”, that was actively creative and super out there. Ironic with ClockWork being here though.
She shrugs, “oh since Sam mentioned all this shit. Speaking of Sam”, she points at the door just as said goth strides through. Danny very pointedly looks her up and down, then whistling as she sits down. The faux hawk plus undercut did actually look good, the red tipping worked well too.
Sam rolls her eyes and shoves his head, then eyeballing ClockWork, “for the love of everything, why? Who are you trying to make suffer?”.
ClockWork looks to her and grins, waving a hand around, “everyone. I am rather Ancient, I get my kicks where I can”. Danny just chuckles.
After a while, Danny’s drumming his fingers on his desk and ignoring Mr. Trent’s constant glances. Thinking of it, Valerie had a decent idea. The time messing thing was probably a no go, somehow he doubts ClockWork would go for something like that. The age changing at will though...
Danny smacks his desk, “that’s it!”, making the entire class jump and snapping his desk in half. Him looking down at the broken desk, “shit sorry”. Mr. Trent just sighs and ClockWork pats his head. The whole class watching as he just shrugs and walks out of the class.
Sam, Valerie, and Tucker exchange looks and shrug. But Sam throws her hands up, Val chokes, and Tucker starts laughing as a little five foot four Danny saunters back in like the proudest thing ever with his clothing basically hanging off him. The rest of the class erupts into various freak-outs and descends into utter chaos. Mr. Trent is left grumbling, “I can’t wait till the lot of them get the Hell out of this entire school, please end my suffering”.
Sam scowling, “how?”. Danny smirks as he sits back down, leaning back, “modern problems, Ancient solutions”, leaning closer to Sam and Tucker, “also alternate timely ass could get up to all the age-related tomfuckery”.
They grimace a little but nod. Tucker throws his arm around Danny’s neck, suddenly noting how weird and funny it was how small he was, “guess we got to avoid your tiny ass now”.
Valerie looks at them and sighs, “do I even want to know?”.
The three exchange glances before smirking and speaking in unison, “no”; while the class continues to lose its collective shit in the background. How were they even supposed to explain that Danny’s evil older full ghost self could age shift meaning Danny just so happened to have that ability too? And that ClockWork, being a being that frequently age-shifted, was the best teacher, even if they basically did jack shit, for the ability? Plus, who would want to ruin the glorious beauty of the chaos going on around them right now with silly factual explanations? Bathe in the chaos. Accept that nothing makes sense. Regret baring witness to weirdo trio living up to their name. Worship Satan. Go nuts.
ClockWork, meanwhile, has slipped off comfortably back to their lair. Utterly unsurprised by the two Observants waiting for them with steam basically boiling off their eyes.

update: we've got delivered 14 photos – primarily in low-mild – underneath to test out the galaxy s10 digicam. see the gallery beneath and the primary benchmarking check that beats all other android telephones in phrases of pace. 
the samsung galaxy s10 has been engineered to be a communique changer, a telephone that’s intended to turn everyone’s yearly question of “do i really need to upgrade?” right into a more exclamatory “do i really want to improve!” our palms-on time with the s10 proves that it does make this case, with some clean caveats. it’s the 6.1-inch infinity show that actually sells this telephone. it introduces a nearly-area-to-aspect look that stretches top to backside, with pixels spilling over the curved edges at the edges – there’s no room for huge bezels on samsung’s 2019 flagship smartphone. its new infinity-o display screen – also a function of the galaxy s10 plus and less expensive galaxy s10e – is so huge it absolutely displaces the front digicam, consigning it to a small ‘punch-hollow’ inside the screen. all of the crucial sensors are smartly tucked behind this vibrant and bright superb amoled display.
additionally at the back of the glass is the new ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. you gained’t find a fingerprint pad on the back anymore, or anywhere visibly at the phone. samsung positioned its sensor – now invisible – at the the front, where we sense it belongs. the s10 formally makes punch-hollow presentations a trend after the concept debuted on the honor view 20, and in-display screen fingerprint sensors more mainstream when they seemed at the oneplus 6t, huawei mate 20 pro, and some vivo phones. it’s all within the motive of achieving that brilliant 93.1% display screen-to-body ratio at the the front of the phone.
maximization is also the idea behind the galaxy s10’s rear-dealing with triple-lens digicam. samsung’s camera array has lenses to take everyday, telephoto and new extremely-extensive pix. the ultra-extensive camera is all approximately capturing more of what’s in front of you without having to returned up. sure, lg telephones have touted ultra-extensive digicam lenses for years, most these days the lg v40, but samsung’s cameras had been greater constant in low-mild situations. the feature is finally in a a flagship-degree smartphone you want.
the galaxy s10 also has features all and sundry can get. its wireless powershare characteristic helps you to use the returned of the s10 to qi rate some other smartphone or the new galaxy buds, cloning the opposite wireless charging idea inside the huawei mate 20 seasoned, a cellphone that’s not extensively to be had in sure territories, which includes the usa. the galaxy s10 is an amalgam of other handsets’ single hallmark functions packed into one cellphone, whilst samsung pioneers as many technical features as it could cram in – quicker wi-fi 6 and hdr10+ are each firsts for smartphones. and that’s what samsung does high-quality certainly.  there’s a hitch or two in samsung’s masterplan to get everybody to improve to this precise handset. the s10 is steeply-priced, even greater so than final 12 months’s galaxy s9, although it’s markedly higher value than the iphone xs, which is more high-priced and has a smaller five.eight-inch display. then there’s the truth that samsung’s largest opposition in 2019 can be samsung. the galaxy s10e is inexpensive and almost as true, at the same time as the galaxy s10 plus is the smartphone you’ll want if you could manage its charge and display length – and that’s to say not anything of the galaxy s10 5g and the samsung galaxy fold, which early adopters may additionally search for real innovation at a higher price. the samsung galaxy s10 marks a decade of galaxy s phones, and even as there’s been little innovation in recent years from the maximum famous telephone manufacturers, together with samsung (bixby and ar emoji don’t reduce it), the s10 has enough newness to tempt you to improve. we’re nevertheless trying out the digital camera, overall performance and battery existence, however it’s already shaping as much as be one among 2019’s high-quality  the samsung galaxy s10 release date is friday, march 8, that's one week in advance than last 12 months’s telephone. it changed into formally announced on february 20, with pre-orders beginning right away in some nations. in the us, galaxy s10 pre-order started out on february 21. the galaxy s10 fee is $899 / £799 / au$1,349 / aed three,199, meaning you’re going to be spending an extra $a hundred and eighty / £60 / aed 100 on this cellphone over the s9 launch fee. if you like the appearance of this telephone however think that price is a tad high, you've got two options: you may pass for the inexpensive galaxy s10e, which starts at $749 / £669 / au$1,199 / aed 2,699, or suck up the price hike, surprise at the new 6.1-inch screen and 128gb base garage, and recognise that apple prices $a hundred / £two hundred / au$430 greater for the smaller five.8-inch iphone xs with half of the inner storage, 64gb. ordering the galaxy s10 earlier of march 8 will net you bonuses in some nations. in the us, for instance, samsung is presenting loose wi-fi galaxy buds really worth $149 / au$249 whilst you pre-order either the galaxy s10 or galaxy s10 plus. show samsung galaxy s10 specifications weight: 157g dimensions: 149.nine x 70.4 x 7.8mm os: android nine display screen length: 6.1-inch resolution: qhd+ cpu: octa-center chipset ram: 8gb garage: 128/512gb battery: 3,400mah rear digital camera: 16mp + 12mp + 12mp front digicam: 10mp     samsung’s screens are so right “our competition are even using them,” samsung emblem manager paul guzek advised techradar, an all-too-apparent dig at apple. it’s difficult to disagree. in truth, the galaxy s10’s 6.1-inch incredible amoled display panel looks higher than some thing samsung sells its opponents. it has elegantly curved edges with pixels that spill over the perimeters, amped-up brightness for higher out of doors visibility, and hdr10+ aid for superior evaluation and colour. the brand new infinity-o show type is what sticks out – for better or worse. samsung has efficaciously avoided a notch reduce-out on the top of its flagship phones, instead the usage of a laser-cut hole within the pinnacle-right corner of the display screen to embed the the front-facing digital camera, as on the honour view 20. is a ‘punch-hollow’ camera greater or much less distracting than a notch? we’re going to order judgment for our very last samsung galaxy s10 evaluate, when we’ll placed the cellphone via its paces in daily use. one thing we can say right away even though is that it’s given samsung extra display real estate to play with than ever. don’t permit the bigger 6.1-inch screen length scare you off. the s10’s dimensions are 149.nine x 70.four x 7.8mm (it weighs 157g), so it’s simplest marginally taller and wider than the s9 with its five.eight-inch display, and surprisingly thinner and a piece lighter. those marginal will increase in height and width are due to the s10’s screen-to-frame ratio of 93.1% (last year became eighty three.6%). bezel does define the pinnacle and backside of this display, despite the fact that we stated it wasn’t massive. samsung’s top speaker still reigns, and there’s a skinny but major chin throughout the lowest; it’s less bezel instead of bezel-much less. and the reality that the bottom bezel is greater than the top one catches our eye – it may be more distracting than the punch-hole. there’s little to dislike regarding the brand new display – if the infinity-o doesn’t distract everyday, and as referred to we’ll replace this review when we have more hands-on time with the s10. layout  you’re no longer going to be overly amazed by the rest of the samsung galaxy s10 design, although there are a few extremely good improvements, two hidden surprises, and an vintage classic here. its thinner aluminum frame is sandwiched among easy glass, with the back coming on your choice of color: flamingo red, prism black, prism blue, prism white, canary yellow and prism inexperienced. samsung galaxy s10 colours will range by way of region, with the usa getting all however yellow and inexperienced. there’s the smallest of camera bumps on the again, housing the triple-lens digicam array, at the same time as we saw no signs of samsung’s invisible opposite wi-fi charging module below this. it’s a specifically smooth appearance in a international of digital camera bumps and rear-fingerprint sensors. we had no difficulty activating samsung’s wireless powershare feature after turning it on thru the short settings notification shade. we located our galaxy buds case at the decrease third of the s10 back and the earbuds commenced charging nearly immediately. it even charged our iphone xs max. samsung laid out two situations in which wireless powershare would be beneficial: charging a friend’s phone, or charging your galaxy buds at night, correctly making your plugged-in s10 a cell qi charger pad. samsung mentioned, although, that powershare received’t work whilst the telephone is underneath 30%. also invisible – this time around the the front – is the fingerprint sensor. while plenty of android phones have used a rear-going through fingerprint sensor, samsung caught with the the front-facing bodily sensor pad all the manner up to the galaxy s7. so the switch to the back felt foreign on samsung phones – but it’s come lower back to the the front in the s10, this time tucked underneath the glass. this is an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, one of a kind from the optical sensors on the oneplus 6t and huawei mate 20 pro, as an instance. samsung uses qualcomm-sponsored tech that’s stated to be better, and greater cozy, via creating a 3D test of your print, however we’ll have to test it out everyday. to date, it’s unlocked the smartphone while we put our thumb on the lower-0.33 of the tool. extra literal impressions to come in our full overview. and right here’s a welcomed traditional that hasn’t changed because the first s phone a decade ago: the three.5mm headphone jack. samsung is one of the few cellphone makers that includes the same old headphone jack in 2019 – and it’s doing it despite introducing the wireless galaxy buds. samsung wants you to take photographs at any perspective, so the galaxy s10 has a triple-lens camera on returned with a 12mp regular lens, 12mp optically zoomed telephoto lens, and a cutting-edge 16mp ultra-extensive lens. we got to test the s10 camera thru our s10 plus evaluate unit (they have the equal cameras), and got awesome effects. here's the gallery: here's the equal shot in stay recognition (samsung's portrait mode). it nicely blurs the history, and you can change the history blur depth even after the shot is taken. samsung additionally includes blur filters: creative, spin, zoom and shade factor (which in this case made the history black and white). they are really certainly cool searching. the galaxy s10 camera takes splendid pictures, even in combined and low mild conditions. it is not too dark on our concern, us mobile editor david lumb, and the brilliant shifting flames are captured with element with out being overexposed. shot hints helped us frame up the shot. this digicam reticle may be helpful and you do not should snap the picture. the shutter simply activates whilst you hover over the reticle 'excellent shot' dot. but it is now not constantly correct. occasionally it stuck the circle off-center in a group shot for no obvious motive. usual, it is a pleasant touch with a few room for improvement. in our ongoing galaxy s10 camera assessment, we have observed topics up near with enough light include outstanding detail. have fun meals picture takers. the scene optimizer ai works well for food. the 12mp digicam offers us plenty of element, and whilst vibrancy and saturation are cranked up a chunk in comparison to an iphone, samsung's digicam no longer makes food appearance oversaturated and alien searching. there was a time whilst samsung's cameras would make hotdogs, as an example, appearance fireplace engine red through amping up assessment. testing the blur effect of the main digicam (with out switching to portrait mode) proved to give us the depth effect we desired. robust detail in the foreground, with wealthy bokeh inside the background. we tapped the history to get that in recognition, and the bokeh gave our foreground some fine blur. the element inside the background is crisp – like the fried hen. the galaxy s10 digital camera now and again looks higher than actual existence. its blues and orangey-reds here sincerely pop, even as the white doesn't appear to be too heat to together with it (earlier than you frequently could not have one with out the other). we still sense the google pixel 3 night sight mode does a higher process, however samsung could be very near. greater comparisons to come. here is a nicely-lit vicinity of two subjects. the picture avoids being too warm, placing pretty appropriate shade and white balance. right here's the identical shot from the brand new extremely-wide digicam. the tough component approximately this sort of extensive camera is that there may be regularly needless extra in there. cropping or the usage of the everyday lens is just first-rate. now not every shot merits this digital camera lens, but it creates a neat effect within the situations. right here's any other extremely-huge picture we took using the s10 camera. this is a more suitable image demonstrating some of the factors you'll omit with the tighter regular lens. the s10 is right at lively tracking speedy-shifting topics. working example, it was able to seize those bright flames as they moved in the san francisco wind. they may be crisp, not blurry, and no longer overexposed notwithstanding the camera also desiring to seize the darkish stones. we nevertheless locate the samsung's digicam to amp up vibrancy and saturation, additionally making use of an instagram clear out ahead of time. this works well for us, however comes down to taste. the iphone xs we use often has genuine-to-lifestyles hues, but subsequent to the s10 or google pixel 3, they look alternatively drab. we’re going to take a difficult observe the digital camera, how it as compared to the elegance-leading pixel 3, and determine how accurate the extremely-wide photos look. samsung’s 123-diploma area of view is as an alternative extensive, which serves the purpose of now not having to again as much as get the whole lot in a shot. however which can bring about an unnatural fisheye look. this extremely-wide digital camera additionally lacks ois in comparison to the other  lenses. at the front, we have a single 10mp camera with dual vehicle-focuses. in case you upgrade to the s10 plus, you’ll additionally get an 8mp digital camera supposed for boosting intensity in portrait pics. scene optimizer gains 10 new categories, with samsung’s digital camera ai now able to tell the difference among a cat and dog to first-rate tune such things as white stability. shot hints is a new feature that makes use of the neural processor engine to nudge you to properly level your pictures or frame subjects better. on the video aspect, the software program has been upgraded to record in hdr10+ and offer virtual video stabilization. samsung says that this is supposed to make all of your extremely hd video as smooth as an action cam. shots fired, gopro hero7 black. specifications and battery existence the samsung galaxy s10 receives right under-the-hood improvements, touting the new probably the greatest snapdragon or exynos chipsets, relying on which u . s . a . you stay in.  it's plenty rapid. the qualcomm snapdragon 855 chipset we benchmarked got here back with a document-breaking multi-score velocity... for android. the iphone xs continues to be a bit faster, but samsung is very close at 11,002 to apple's eleven,481. it also comes with 8gb of ram – a extreme upgrade over the 4gb of ram in ultimate 12 months’s s9 – and consists of alternatives for 128gb or 512gb of inner garage. there’s no 64gb version to worry approximately here, and samsung still helps expandable garage. it includes a 3,400mah battery, an upgrade over the three,000mah capability of the s9. due to the bigger display, officially, samsung is still claiming all-day battery life if now not a chunk more. additionally onboard is subsequent-gen wi-fi 6, in order to aid seamless transition among wireless routers and is four instances faster than 802.11ax. it should supply a 20% velocity raise, however you’ll need a new router to honestly get any use out of this feature. what you gained’t get in this phone is the s10 plus and note nine-exceptional vapor chamber cooling. if you’re a gamer, you can need to improve to the larger telephone for extra than just the larger display. early verdict the galaxy s10 is a deserved tenth anniversary phone for samsung and its storied s series. its new show kind lays out greater pixels throughout much less frame, has a triple-lens digital camera so that you can now take extremely-wide pictures, and includes a larger battery surrounded via beefier specs. you’ll like any of those functions, even as your pals will like the new wireless powershare perk. the s10 marks an anniversary, however it additionally marks some thing a bit exceptional amongst smartphones. it disrupts the sameness of smartphones simply sufficient to turn out to be a tempting upgrade.  the fee, but, might also come up with second mind. that’s where the galaxy s10e plays an critical function. our galaxy s10 fingers-on review isn’t finished but. this phone requires loads greater checking out and daily use to determine if the 3-eyed rear camera is the fine within the international and the ‘punch-hole’ infinity-o show is the style of display screen we need to stare at in 2019.

Wave 4 Spoiler Round-Up 4
Now we have the fourth and final (seems appropriate; since this is Wave 4) Spoiler Round-Up, as all of the characters have been revealed now. (I am not revealing any new cards here; they have all been revealed somewhere else first). If you don’t want spoilers, turn back before the picture.
Tumblr media
First up we have Raider Apeface.
Tumblr media
A bot who was seen on a Battle Card first! And another new Triple Changer! One who would like to be flipped very slowly (so you can focus on flipping your other characters). He has Focus 1 in Plane mode as long as he has no damage counters on him. Not bad. Next in Beast mode (give us some Beast Wars characters Wizards!) he has Bold 2 if he has between 1 and 9 damage counters on him. Again; not something that hasn’t been seen before (Air Commander Starscream had inbuilt Bold 2 in Wave 1!) Finally, in Bot mode, Apeface has Tough 3 when he has 10 or more damage counters on him. Tough 3? That’s only been on Raider Aimless! Guess that makes Apeface the first ‘big’ bot to have inbuilt Tough 3! His stats are also the same in all 3 modes; so you pick which mode you want him to be in based on how much damage he has on him! Next up is Sergeant Soundblaster.
Tumblr media
Who… is pretty terrible if you ask me. I’m not even sure he’s worthy of being a Super Rare. He has relatively good stats (1 more health than Decepticon King Starscream has, but the same stats everywhere else). However… his abilities don’t seem all that good for a Super Rare. Sure, when he attacks in Bot mode he can grab a Weapon from the scrap pile… Which would be amazing if it didn’t say said Weapon had to have a black pip! And then when he flips to alt mode, he can pass his weapon on to somebot else to give them +1 attack. To me; he’s going to be another Windblade, Combiner Hunter. He should have been a Rare. Next up is…
Tumblr media
Raider Skytread! Who is in two parts; just like Dreadwing is! And, in order to combine this little darling… one of the parts needs to be KO’d?! Ideally; this would be the Tank part… but that one is harder to kill. In order to combine him… you put your entire hand face down underneath him?! That’s… really bad. But… when he attacks in Bot mode, he can give you one of your face down cards back to Fling 1 damage counter at the defender! That’s actually pretty good! If Wizards creates Overlord; I’d like him to be similar to this! Next up...
Tumblr media
Captain Omega Supreme. Who, like Skytread, is in parts as the game begins. Now; he combines when the opponent decks out, but first… his 3 little components have interesting abilities. The Tank lets you scrap 2 cards from your hand to do 1 damage to an enemy… O.K. that’s not too good… The Spaceship lets you scrap 2 cards from your hand to scrap an enemy Upgrade… better but still not amazing. When the Base defends… It does 2 damage to the attacker and the opponent loses the top 2 cards of their deck?! That’s amazing; it makes the opponent’s deck cycle faster and damages their characters at the same time! Now on to Omega himself; the only character with in built Pierce 4! But wait, there’s more! When he attacks, you can scrap 4 cards in your hand to… scrap all Upgrades on the defender and do 1 damage to each enemy! Oh wow; that’s good! Next up is…
Tumblr media
Captain Jetfire! Who wants Upgrades for his abilities. When you flip him to alt he checks the top 5 cards of your deck. You then put all Upgrades you found into your hand and scrap the rest. Like a better Treasure Hunt. In Bot mode when he battles, you draw a card; no questions asked! That’s not bad to start with; but that’s not it! You can then reveal an Upgrade from your hand to put on top of your deck. If you do that… you flip a minimum of 3 battle cards for that Battle! That’s crazy! The only shame with Jetfire… he’s a whopping 16 stars! Who on Earth could you team with him? Next up we have Raider Chop Shop.
Tumblr media
A healer! His stats are quite good for a seven star bug. He also heals one damage from himself if you flip a green when he attacks in Bot mode (that you can then grab after the battle). Which isn’t bad, but his alt skill is amazing. When you flip him to alt, you can scrap a battle card with a green pip on it from your hand to heal 1 damage from each of your characters. Not bad; but Arcee from Wave 1 does that without the scrap. Here’s the best bit; that’s not the end of that ability. If the battle card you scrapped had ONLY a green pip, he repairs 2 damage from each of your characters instead. Which is insane! Imagine that on Skrapnel from Wave 1! Last, but by no means least, we have Sergeant Springer.
Tumblr media
Who is quite the rule breaking common! He lets you scrap either an Action (Truck mode) or Upgrade (Helicopter mode) when you flip him to one of his alts. If you do; he draws you 2 cards. Similar abilities have been seen before on Megatron, Arrogant Ruler and Bumblebee, Trusted Lieutenant. This is where Springer breaks the rules. He lets you play an extra Action and Upgrade the turn you flip him to Bot mode, as long as you had 7 or more cards in your hand when you did the flip! Which is amazing for a common! What do you mean the same thing happened if you ran the aforementioned Bumblebee and Megatron and played Roll Out! ?! Still; first time a single character could do this!
That’s everybot now; so I suppose I’d better have a think about which ones I see storming towards the Meta! May you get the Bots, Cons and Mercs you most want when Wave 4 comes out!
