Ring-A-Ling
- Ring-A-Ling is a member of the Gamer Geeks from BotBots
In her guise as a humble phone, Ring-A-Ling has the unenviable position of being the company phone of the flesh being known as Dave, his only source of companionship and contact with the outside world (mostly his mom). This task tends to keep her away from her fellow BotBots, some of whom don't know she even exists. As a phone, Ring-A-Ling is loaded with apps to help keep Dave occupied during his long and lonely hours, many of which are very tempting to the unwary. And while tedious, her close proximity to Dave means she probably knows best how his mind works.
Fiction
BotBots cartoon
Before being brought to life by the energon cloud, Ring-A-Ling was Dave's company given phone. In that time, Dave only ever added one number to his phone, and that was his mom's. Shopping Brawl
In her phone form, Ring-A-Ling provided Dave podcasts to listen to on his rounds, until he managed to temporarily run out. Mall Than Meets the Eye
After seeing an ad promising the chance of becoming mall famous (the best kind of famous!), Dave used Ring-A-Ling to take some... questionable selfies. However, in the process she also caught footage of the Lost Bots falling off a banister behind him. Unable to break her cover, she set off her midnight snack alarm. Unaware of their fellow BotBot's existence, the Lost Bots followed Dave to his office to retrieve his phone. Bonz-Eye managed to do so while Dave snoozed, the usual result of his eating. The desperate Lost Bots tried to get past his password, with Ring-A-Ling helping them despite Clogstopper's ridiculous suggestion the password was simply "11111". Burgertron quickly deleted the incriminating photos, but then Ring-A-Ling's many apps began tempting the Lost Bots, one by one. Even Burgertron found himself seduced when he began editing Dave's selfies, and soon all five Lost Bots were at one another's throats, each finding the phone far too precious to give up. Ring-A-Ling tried faking running out of juice to snap them out of it, but this was only a partial triumph, as the Lost Bots blamed the phone for corrupting them, and therefore the only solution was to cast it into the fiery dumpster from which none return! Before they could, Ring-A-Ling finally broke cover to read the misfits the riot act for their nearly killing her, their obsessive behavior and general cluelessness in not noticing how she'd been trying to help them. Admonishing them for their inability to set boundaries, she declared them beyond help, and stormed off to return to Dave. As a gift to the human, she used her abilities to increase his MallFace likes so he would reach his coveted goal. Dave subsequently blew it anyway. Phoning It In
In a desperate, last-ditch scheme to lure Dave back to the mall so he could shut off the rampaging security bots which had replaced him, the Lost Bots got Ring-A-Ling to call Dave's mom so they could reach Dave. Despite Burgertron's unconvincing story and disguise of "Mallworker Fleshguy, Esquire", the plan worked. Dave got his job back, and Ring-A-Ling once more served as his phone. Shopping Brawl
