do you have any shipping hcs for quickelec? :3c

Hello yes I do!! So so sorry for not seeing this sooner! >>

- Their meetcute was absolutely sometime either right before or during the events of two! I think it'd be fun if they had a rivals to lovers thing going on for a bit they're both such completely different personalities in my head but with a commonground there where they both do want something similar but the methods they go about getting to that are unique to themselves

- While I don't think Quick would practice as much as Elec does I think that he'd like to work on music with him! He seems like a Moog or electric instrument guy to me so their stuff tends to sound straight up like kraftwerk or daft punk

- Likewise I think Elec really starts getting into the basics of car mechanics or racing repairs! He goes to Quick's races (as long as they are STREET. LEGAL. Helping Quick sneak onto official track is 100% on the table though-) and helps suit up his car :] he is also the loudest person screaming in the crowd by the middle of the race. And by the end when they're both dodging security.

- Before quitting his job Elec would get visits from Quick at work convincing him to sneak out when things got especially bad. Outside from his own family Quick is the only person to ever really see Elec pop his faceplate off something something you don't have to mask around people who see you who are you when you aren't performing

- Quick tends to just up and fix himself with what medical know-how he has but if it's severe enough and/or he finds out he's been winging his own repairs Elec can and will get him into the Light house and have Thomas fix him Quick voice it's rotten work Elec voice no not if it's you

do you have any ocs?

Yes I do actually!! I have transformers and megaman ones, though I need to redraw a lot of the latter and do touch ups on my 'formers :] My favorite out of them is Oversight (Lensman when I draw him as an RM)! He's an astronomer

I eem. I like him a lot :3

[flame-boyant]

also do you have any quickman hcs? :]

mhmm!! The Quickererrrrrr

His special interest is dragons! Half of his home is dedicated to racing merch and the other half is dedicated to any and all dragon related items he can find. His most prized dragon though is this old plush he has named Misty Rage-Wings!

This stems from him being the one to take care of the mecha dragon whenever Wood was too busy to tend of her; Me and my dragon who is actually a giant pitbull puppy with wings and can breath fire.

His way of showing he likes you is by how much he'll (playfully) taunt and tease! While this can come across as very rude or off-putting at first glance, but he finds it as his way of being honest with other people or how to gauge them. If you're able to have comebacks for him and keep up he's immediately like "OHHH WE'RE BEST FRIENDS NOW"

When he starts thinking about something seriously he tends to pace in circles! He's got to constantly be moving when he's trying to process stuff otherwise he'll get really antsy and agitated.

That being said he's someone who, pun-intended, thinks on his feet! He's not one for plans so much as improvising as he goes along making split-second decisions that he feels could make or break the mission at hand (Though he hopes it makes rather than breaks-). This got him into arguments with his siblings at the start of their activation (and occasionally every now and then still) but now if they're working together on things Metal will use that unpredictability for the greater good of the team.

He used to steal Wily's tools and old blueprints because he wants to know how to repair machinery. While the fortress did have automated repair systems and Wily himself would tend to them if it was severe enough, it was never exactly easy when you were miles and miles away from base and missing a leg (that and Wily isn't exactly the most reassuring person to talk to). He knows very basic repair skills and acted as the 2nd liners' medic! Nowadays he gets lessons from the local ER in exchange for doing supply runs for them!

Really loves barking to dogs he meets on the street it's like a vocal stim for him!

Won't tell anyone other than Flash, but he secretly loves watching soap operas. He caught Flash watching an episode one day and initially pretended to not be invested (you know that thing old people do where they'll stand next to the tv and look at the screen?) Smash cut to two weeks later they've binge rewatched the entire thing Quick death gripping the screen "SOB HICK DONNA THE KITCHEN SINK WAS A METAPHOR FOR HER HEART RUN TO HERRRR"

For awhile it was just Metal, Air, Bubble, and Quick so Quick really really does admire the three of them (Metal especially he thinks his powerful t-girl sister is so cool and epic and never wrong)

If he sees Air is feeling down he'll offer to spar with them! Sometimes he'll put up a fair fight sometimes he'll purposefully throw the match without telling them either way he's agging them on trying to drum up their hype.

Trying to get over his fear of water by having Bubble teach him how to swim! Smug voice "Just you wait pool! I just cleared the arm floaties phase! Pretty soon I'll be able to run. UNDERWATER! >:)"

Is BFF's with Crash! Half of their communication between them is in-jokes and the other half is making animal noises in each other's general direction. Crash really looks up to Quick and for awhile would follow him around like a puppy for the first couple of months after activation!

Has a special move he's made with Heat called the Flaming Fastball where Quick will swing Heat as fast as he can then launch them right before they activate their atomic fire.

got any elecman hcs? :]

yes!!! (Also hello!) Okay possibly massive textblock incoming:

okay so I have like, two separate voice claims for him. Personally I like to imagine he'd be voiced by Vinny (Same for his singing voice Elecman is such a Wayne Hylics type of guy DEFO Absent Moon at least) but my claim for him had that original 90's series been greenlit would absolutely be Scott McNeil (Silverbolt beast wars if Silverbolt was cool) My secret third joke claim is Sam Marin

Out of the first liners he's the one most adverse to organic things (does NOT like humans in particular), but he does have a soft spot for rodents! He has really cute hamster named Lilt he spoils to no end.

Will gladly lie and tell people he's the oldest of his siblings if none of the others are around. Iceman voice "OH MY GOD HIIIII BABY BROOOOO" in front of a large crowd of people.

He speaks in morse code when he's extremely overwhelmed; He's gotten pretty good at masking so it's not super common he does this, but there's days where all you get from him is beeping.

Speaking of masking I did make a small sketch on another blog, but Elecman likes to take his faceplate off when he's around people he trusts. It's kind of like not having to mask around friends and family but in a literal sense he likes not having to hide who and what he is and that the people around him appreciate him for him too!

Usually the voice of reason for when Bomb and Guts get an idea that has the potential to do some damage (something like rolling a shopping cart loaded with fireworks down a hill very jackass meets mythbusters). And by voice of reason I mean he'll do the extra number crunching and mental gymnastics behind what it is before giving them the go-ahead. He loves his brothers but knows more than likely they'll be fine as long as it's in the parameters of the house (plus of being a robot is that you're more resilient than the average person!)

He and Cut have a running inside joke between themselves where Cut will occasionally send him a stock photo of an electrical outlet and Elec will shout "WHEN IN DOUBTLET SCREAM INTO AN OUTLET"

Keeps Ice's number on speed dial because he knows Ice gets really lonely sometimes being so far from home. He'll let Ice chatter as long as he can about the antarctic or wherever else he's stationed he likes Ice's penguin stories especially.

Is currently trying to teach Fire how to use a guitar! It's a bit of a learning hurdle since the guitars Elec uses are a bit more complicated than Fire's but he's getting there!

Sometime after mm9 I think he takes that has his que to take a wild gamble and leave his job. I'm not quite sure what he'd do or where he'd go next after this at the moment but I like the idea that wherever he goes he's happy ^^

thoughts on maskless elecman?

I absolutely love it I love that the eyelids are apart of the mask he's a bug he's a deer he reminds me of that one photo of the hamster staring into the camera this one

Though moreso I like that nearly everyone minus gutsman seems generally unphased by it, like yes king go be free.

[flame-boyant]

how do you think elecman would cope with being overstimulated?

Hmmm I think that it depends on what's causing the over-stimulation! If it's something like too much loud noise, people, etc. and he'll find a grounding object (in most cases at work his tablet because of the battery's pulse for instance) but if it's a matter of having too much electrical build-up he'll roll some old batteries in his hands so it goes into those and not somewhere that could cause a problem.

do you have any quickelec hcs ? or thoughts on them?

Ahh hiii!!! Overall I think they're really cute and funny I really latch onto ships where one character is the serious one and the other is just loving life as much as they can (or at least that's how I'd characterize them)

A headcanon: I think they'd get a real kick out of going to underground concerts! Not necessarily raves persay because I it'd be way too much stimulation for Elec unless he used dampeners or the like but going to see some weird obscure band they've both gotten into that week yes absolutely.

[flame-boyant]

do you have any heatman hcs?

Yee!!

- Uses they/them! The fiercest non-binary warrior alongside Air.  - Partially doesn't like the cold because they have poor temperature regulation. They absolutely need the place they're in to be a certain warmth to feel comfy!  - Keeps a pet centipede named Ancho! I imagine they aren't one for the more cuddly organics like dogs and cats, but centipedes are right up their ally. If they have leftovers or bits from dinner they couldn't use they'll give the scraps to Ancho.  - Is lowkey also scared of water like Quick is, but does think that sharks are rad as hell the "only saving grace for that hydrogen hellhole" in their opinion. Bubble and them  keep arguing over which one is the best one (Heat appreciates the humble blue shark). - Doesn't like to socialize much because they get overwhelmed in crowds quite easily/find socializing emotionally intensive, but is penpals with Sheepman! They like hearing about the different jobs he switches to and will sometimes share pictures of Ancho.  - They don't startle easily, but when they do they'll accidentally set themselves on fire as a reaction. Everyone learned that the hard way when they first activated and Metal put them up for training against Crash.  - Gets along really well with the 5th line and is especially friends with Charge! They make it a point to vandalize railway signs on the weekend nights (because railway signs are for SQUAREZ! - Heat, holding a can of spray paint) - Will go out of their way to find Metal and ask her if they can do something if it causes enough wanton destruction. They know more than likely she'll say yes, they just like making those announcements to her. "Hey Metal can I flood the sewer down the block with this spare magma vat I have? The idiot who flies his car down the street keeps clipping the mailbox"

*Metal grunts a 'yeah', busy trying to strap a rocket onto a pierobot*

"Okay cool thanks you're the best bye"

- Was avoidant of Wood for awhile because they were afraid of burning her with their powers (the period right after 2 was really rocky I imagine), but nowadays they really do love helping her with some of the animals in the robotic woods! They also let her infodump about cool animal facts she knows even if they don't understand what some of them are :)

- Much like the others can't walk out of the house without getting a "fashion check" from Flash. Thinks the entire thing is lowkey annoying when they're in a rush to do something, but it seems to make Flash pleased to know they're trendy and in-season. whatever those mean- - Whenever they want to spar (play-fight) with Quick they'll do something akin to that play stance dogs will sometimes do.
