Nara | Minimus Ambus

[legalcy]

ooc information
PLAYER: Nara
CONTACT: mutanthairything
ETC: I tend to tag more often during lunch and evenings
ic information
CHARACTER: Minimus Ambus
CANON: Transformers IDW comics
CANON POINT: Post-Series
INFO: A serious little robot (compared to other Cybertronians) who loves bookkeeping and rules and memorized so many laws. He spend a long time in a giant robot suit called Ultra Magnus but with some adventures, he learned to appreciate himself for who he is, but in exchange he fell in love with Megatron. Oops!

Also, he's an even smaller robot in a larger suit, but he's more comfortable walking around like this. In his true form, he's about 4-5 feet tall.
REGRET: He and his brother drifted apart over the years and both disappeared from each other's lives without warning, and Minimus wants an actual final conversation with his twin after finding him dead.
GAME PLANS: Minimus is going to take some time to adjust to seeing Megatron alive and well considering that he was his defense lawyer before he was sentences to eternal imprisonment, but he's going to dive into an adventure gladly since he misses that old life.
CR WISHLIST: People to gush over filing systems with! Young trouble youths who could use a stern mentor, people who like to annoy stick-in-the-mud type of people!
ETC:

WAIT, HANG ON.

he's a tiny robot man...
inside a larger robot man suit...
inside an even larger robot man suit???

[legalcy]

Matryoshka robot!!!

He's destroyed the largest suit at his canon point but that's just how he lived for over a million years

[droide]

my guy... what the fuck... love yourself...

sorry, every new thing I learn about TF breaks my mind a little bit more

[legalcy]

Minimus has a lot of self-esteem issues and he's working through them

don't even get him started on his brother

[droide]

Oh no!
Guess not everyone can have as good siblings as L3 and her "sisters"...

[legalcy]

They care but also there's some bitterness

If he ever does get his regret fulfilled he'll punch his brother first and then talk it out and hut

[flickerandfade]

i love this reaction

[droide]

y'all are going to make me read this comic, aren't you ...

[aurable]

It's not a choice

[homeostatic]

Yesss good, more TFs 🎉🎉🎉

[legalcy]

I swear not all TFs are disasters

I mean Minimus is but in a different way

[homeostatic]

McCoy is intimately familiar with their brand of disaster, it's fine. He'll be happy to meet Minimus and will probably join him in the stick-in-the-mud corner from time to time

Re: Nara | Minimus Ambus

[flickerandfade]

minimus my short king

[legalcy]

they're going to do so much kissing during the next mission

[flickerandfade]

Canoodling is the technical term

[spacedisaster]

HELL YEAH, MORE TRANSFORMERS
Hiiiiii, I'm Lylith and I play Peter Quill from GOTG, nice to meet you.

In game he's mentioned to both Drift and Megatron that TF exists in this world and he was fan of the original G1 show as a kid, so he pretty much fangirled over both of them. I promise he won't 4-wall Minimus Ambus or anything, but he might be all /HEART EYES MF/ at another Cybertronian being around.

I am sorry in advance.

Also it is so funny to me that Minimus just kep ton piloting robot TF suits ala Gundam and the most used one was Ultra Magnus who was HUGE.

[legalcy]

The funny thing is that he's actually 9 foot tall robot wearing armor that makes him 17 feet tall normally AND THEN he gets into the gigantic robot suit.

He won't be surprised if Peter recognizes Ultra Magnus but he has to wonder if G1 also had a small robot piloting it...

[spacedisaster]

ashahs yes, incredible. Kinder egg robot. It's all right, Peter will love him all the same.

G1 Ultra Magnus looked very different than the MTMTE version, so I don't think he will make the connection at first, alas. And ROFLMAO, could you imagine.

I read the first volumes of MTMTE, so I am aware of the canon, but I stopped when it got a bit too gory for me. I think one of the last things I read was ultra Magnus saving the day by *smiling* while mini-robots were inside his body ala Innerspace film. He was always one of my favorites.

Also, I can't with the mustache, it is so funny.

[legalcy]

Yeah it's a really gory series.....even if they're robots there's so much horror in the comics. Even with all those silly adventures

But at least Minimus has learned to smile more often! He's come a long way from the start of the comic

And yes, the mustache is important though he calls it a "Facial insignia" in canon. But it's a mustache and too iconic to lose

[spacedisaster]

Enjoyed the storyline, the variety of robots, and the craziness but yes, it was the bloody stuff that turned me down from the series. it got to a point that it made me really sad for the characters too.

Awww that's great. It's what he deserves. I used to play Knock Out from Transformers Prime and also Blur from TF animated, but those are my only cybertronian boys.

"Facial insignia", that is sure something haha. I love it, really.
