Hehehehe now time for my favorite robot there is... TICK!!!!! The walking ticking bomb robot
Yes this (not-so-)little robot holds a pretty special place in my heart and mind, enough to warrant a refferance sheet all to himself.
Nooww as you may notice from his overall width he is... quite large, this is fully intentionally given that he seems to have pirate cannons for arms, so based on that i'd imagine Tick to be quite big in order to shoot devastating bombs at the enemy. Heavy too at around 500 kg.
I can see Tick being quite viscious in battle, being persistant and near impossible to get off your tail without a fight, given he likely has a rather advanced tracking system too, making hiding almost pointless while for running he just has more stamina, this along with a fear driven attacking response to threats can make Tick... rather difficult to even deal with at times.
And he is a good teammate too! He just about always finds a way to synergize with others.
On the down time though this robot gets a little more... interesting...
Tick is quite thoroughly obsessed with shiny, pretty thing, precious metals and stones they're all his to hoard, sometimes not even Penny is given access to these hoards so when she needs something she usually takes it while he's asleep.
Other than obsessing over shiny objects however, Tick's friends are the main priority for him, they offer companionship, backup, help and fun all at the price of offering them the same things, which Tick has in SPADES to offer, despite being unable to talk, he is quite the team player and often times manages to find ways around his inability to speak. With this, Tick has ended up with a surprising amount of social expirience from interacting with fellow brawlers, even enough to convince some rivals to set aside their rivarlies just to focus on the match they're placed in. As you may get to know Tick you will also quickly get to find out that he's extremely loyal towards friends, you mess with them and you mess with him on a personal level...
With this in mind Penny and Darryl are pretty big influences on him. Penny encourages Tick's already mischevious and curious nature, as they often explore starr park and even manage to get into places they're not supposed to be in and plundering whatever treasures they may find. Darryl on the other hand is their voice of reason, the wise captain and both Penny and Tick look up to him, as both a leader and a father. Of course Tick would like to be like his role model, wise, fearsome, and brave... unfortunately two of these traits are near impossible for him to avhieve, he looks too goofy and silly to ever be intimidating in any way and he is one to be startled by his own shadow, so bravery is not on the menu... though surprisingly, he is smart, and knows a fair bit of wisdom from his captain, so he is on the right track.
I also just headcannon Tick to be a big softy, especially when he's in somewhere private where he won't be seen by many, other than those he trusts deeply. Just soft squishy plushies pillows ans blankies feel good on his hard metal shell, same can be said about human touch, you can pet him and he might just lean head over heels on it (just like my stupid cat Ms. Sponge) though he also puts a lot of trust into this kind of move, for him to willingly even go near someone else is a dangerous move for both parties given how easy it is for him to both hurt someone else and to be hurt, soo for him a simple hug can be a huge sign of trust
Another headcanon is just Tick really enjoying the oceans and seas, he's waterproofed though he does tend to sink in the water, no big deal though, he can still swim decently well and tends to look like he's doing a flying motion rather than a swimming motion and it's so freeing, the critters in the water are also a nice company, curious ones may inspect the oversized metal "crab" before them, shy ones just hide or swim away. For this reason he may as well get along very well with Glowbert and Otis. Ticka and Otis like just hanging out while Otis is drawing, Tick keeps guard while also just admiring the squid's work. Him and Glowbert? Still getting along well even though the abyss offers some horrifying creatures... Glowbert still offers fascinating insight and they can still gush about the creatures of the coral reefs.
And while i may still have some more hc's... these are the ones i got to share in this post, now we're off to the photographers' notes!
Right off the bat, wide, had trouble even making his way into the actual photoshooting area...
Otherwise very cooperative and cheerful about it
We still have an ejected bomb from him, we know it won't go off without us triggering the fuse, still the cluster bomb itself seems to twitch sometimes... just weird...
Also yes... we did expect this bot to be initially smaller but no, this thing is massive, but aside from being massive there's really nothing else to really make him all that scary
Do not handle the bot by the fuse, one of us almost got their skull cracked from a smack, thankfuly they dodged it
A very good boy otherwise
