Testing Earth Wars character + dialogue presentation options

Autobots - Troops

Optimus Prime

ID:	optimus
Class:	Special
Bio:	Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.
Bio (long):	Committed, inspirational, selfless... Optimus Prime is all these things and more, a born leader and idealistic to boot. But what makes him a truly great leader is his own lack of hubris; his seeming inability to place his life, his worth, above any of his fellow Autobots, or in fact any other lifeform. He believes, passionately, that freedom is the right of all sentient beings, and would gladly sacrifice himself to make that belief a reality.
Desc (unused):	As a Warrior Leader, targets defenses first. Optimus Prime is the stalwart leader of the Autobots. 'Til all are one!

Arrival (L1)

[Soundbarrier] (pointing) Hey, Bashbreaker, the others sent me to meet you off the Space Bridge.
[Bashbreaker] Okay, not sure I need an escort, I’m a big – if little in stature – C.O.M.B.A.T. ‘bot an’ all. / But, hey, if you’re the welcome wagon, Soundbarrier, that’s all good with me.
[Soundbarrier] Nightstick said to get you settled in, show you the ropes. / Kind of Earth Wars-orientation.
[Bashbreaker] (clapping) Lead on. / But I should warn you, I like to make my presence felt. / Y’know those shy, retiring types… well, that’s not me.
[Soundbarrier] Okay, duly warned. / But I’m starting to suspect there may have been a degree of tactical thinking in deploying me.
[Bashbreaker] Izzat so? Y’know, suddenly I’m pining for a crowd.
[Nightstick] Heh. It’s safe to come out now. / Soundbarrier’s audio buffers should automatically kick in when Bashbreaker kicks off!
[Sawtooth] (victorious) Phew! / My receptors were ringing for a week the last time we teamed up.
[Tricerashot] You said it, Sawtooth... / Once he starts with those hammer blows, it’s duck and cover time.
[Stripes] Hey, where’d they get to? / Kinda lost sight of them there. You don’t suppose…
[Soundbarrier] Hey, thought we’d double back – make it a group gathering.
[Bashbreaker] (victorious) NIGHTSTICK, YO! / I AM READY TO ROCK THIS JOINT!
[Sawtooth] (victorious) Oh no! We’re the opposite of ready!
[Bashbreaker] (pumping fist) LOOK OUT, WORLD – AS OF NOW, BASHBREAKER IS PUMPIN’ UP THE VOLUME!

Seaspray (L1)

Octopunch (L1)

this story was edited etc [Bumblebee] Melody's right - Seaspray's been acting weird since he got back from Aquatron. [Jetfire] Yes. He appears quite traumatized. Won't go anywhere near the water. And he keeps going on about someone called... Alana? [Seaspray] (flinching) The horror... the horror... [Bumblebee] (shaking head) Maybe he needs a cyber-shrink? [Ironhide] (taunting) Get yourself together soldier! We've been at this for too long for you to leek lubricant over a few measly Sharkticons! [Jetfire] Or just tough love?!

[Luca] (pointing) Wow... loving the bite marks. Must've been a heck of a party. [Octopunch] (pointing) Don't... talk to me, human. Just go away. I'm half the cephalopod I used to be. [Luca] Hey, no problem. Your crying towel I'm not. [Octopunch] (shaking head) It's just... no one understands. How can they? When they didn't experience... the horror. It's a long story, but... [Luca] <sigh> Hey, what's that? I think I hear Ravage scratching the furniture again? Gotta go... [Octopunch] Oh, Ok. / Wait... Ravage's not even here...

After first upgrade

Seaspray (L11)

Octopunch (L11)

[Ratchet] (pointing) Sit back, Seaspray, and relax. Now, tell me about your childhood... [Seaspray] (flinching) My... childhood? Oh, I see, that's a joke. Well, Doc - let me tell you, there was nothing funny about Aquatron. [Ratchet] What were you doing there? [Seaspray] Research. On pure crystals that are only formed at the very deepest levels of the ocean. And then... and then... the Sharkticons came! [Ratchet] Mmm. Want to talk about it? [Seaspray] (shaking head) No! I want my mermaid! [Ratchet] (pointing) Nurse Elita One - the screens!

[Octopunch] It all started so promisingly... [Breakdown] (flinching) Really? 'Cause I have somewhere to be. I just... don't know precisely where. But if you give me a moment... [Octopunch] (taunting) ... lots of ocean, lots of seagoing traffic to ambush and tear apart with my tentacles... [Breakdown] (pointing) Seriously, I have to get my servos realigned... it's really important. [Octopunch] ... and suddenly this Autobot turns up, Seaspray I think his name is, and I go, hey - I can spare a couple of fusion torpedoes. [Breakdown] I hear someone callin' me... [Octopunch] (shaking head) Only, those crystals turn out to be highly volatile. I mean, who knew?
