The Functionist Council and Autobot society when a therapist actually starts helping bots with mental health instead of just their functionality and saying "Form dictates function"

[mr-camhed]

Name: Trashmaster

Age: at least 4.1 Million years

Gender: male

Faction: Functionists

Assigned Forces: Sanitation and Recycling Corps

Role: Model Worker, serial killer

Motto:

Personality: Trashmaster of the First Total Recall has gone Crazy long ago. The humble, earnest and industrious Appearance in the public has long been nothing but facade covering a cruel, bloodthirsty and twisted monstrosity. He is also violent and short tempered due to the addiction caused by the endless increase of quotas and oppression which had caused his mind to deteriorate further, and the endless Propaganda caused him to become extremely classist, worshipping the powerful like Nemesis Prime and the Functionaries while seeing the lower class bots, especially disposable class and later extending to anything that defies the Functionist Council as things deserving extermination, which only furthers his mental instability, and it seems that he is on the verge of total mental regression.

Alternate mode: Trashmaster transforms into a grey 2017 Autocar ACX Front loader Garbage Truck

Appearance: Trashmaster is around 13 meters tall and has a transformation scheme similar to the FansProject version of Motormaster although the Truck cab portion of the lower Legs is not upside down, while his head sculpt resembles that of an combination between Energon Scorponok and G1 Toy/Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers Comic Motormaster, with the exception of sharpened teeth and blood red optics. Trashmaster has Functionist Council Insignia on his chest, shoulders and legs/cab door and Propaganda billboards on his arms, but they were all worn, faded and covered up by grimes like his entire body.

Weaponry: Trashmaster is very Strong and surprisingly nimble. In robot mode, he is Capable of punching through walls and the outer shell of an average Transformer, his teeth are Capable of tearing open living metal tissues, and even Capable of jumping and climbing in Cybertronian cities. In Garbage Truck mode, Trashmaster is Capable of loading 50 tons of Garbage, a top speed of 120 miles per hour, and Capable of running over anything in its path, send things as large as a Truck it crashes into Flying or even bringing down multi story Buildings if he was fully loaded. He has very High alert, and owns a long Energon-bladed Machete(reference) with sawtooth on the back which he uses as his tool of murder, alongside a Resonance entreching tool, a Jackhammer, a pickaxe and a sharpened pry bar/digging bar as his tool and weaponry. And due to the unkempt condition of his body, he can also produce massive plumes of toxic smoke from the exhaust system in both mode that can act as both a Smokescreen and Poisonous choking gas.

Character Biography: not much was known of the early upbringing of Trashmaster of the First Total Recall in Kaon thanks to the lack of contact with the Functionist Universe, which was further worsened due to mass erasure of records by Functionists after their Coup d'état. However, the cold constructed worker caste bot was soon discovered and revered by the Functionist Council for being a model worker during their Cleanup after pogroms of those they Considered obsolete and massacre of protesters and dissidents and the Recycling of the corpses.

It didn't go well for Trashmaster. The exemplary service didn't give him any physical benefit, but caused quotas and demands to rise endlessly, Propaganda Machine to encroach on his already little time, and he was also harassed by local criminals(for extortion), low class bots and dissidents like Anti Vocationist League(an Underground community and resistance and one of the few dissident group still extant in Functionist Universe) members(due to his identity as an example for the oppression of the lower classes and slavery promoted by the Functionist Council).

The compounding pressure, mostly from the quota and harassment by authorities and the mob families caused him to slowly buckle and crumble, and he began to take up drinking and smoking to relieve the pressure, until it can only be quenched by using Circuit buffers(Cybertronian Equivalent to recreational drugs) before only frequent use of Circuit Speeders like Syk(hard narcotics) can work for his pressure, which caused irreparable damage to his cerebral modules. He became shorter and shorter tempered, began to attack his colleagues and neighbors, and even going as far as ripping into obsolescent disposable classes and dead protesters to drink their internal Energon fluids, as it seems to be also calming to his Circuits, which didn't last for long and he Eventually fell into the deep end and began to ambush and murder low class bots in order to ingest their metal tissue and internal fluids.

Such act of horror were also under the watchful eyes of the Functionist Council and the Functionaries, who deliberately ignored it as they are not caring of the low disposable class, and they're also glad to have something horrifying to keep them and the hiding dissidents in line…

Weakness: Trashmaster's wrecked nerve makes him very exploitable with the right string being tug and the horrifying bloodlust makes him unapproachable to everyone else. The grimes on his hands can Sometimes gunk up the mechanism, and the worn on other parts can cause slippage. He also have exposed fuel lines underneath the chassis/behind his back, which if ruptured would severely impact his strength and endurance if not allow enemies to outright set him on fire.

Commentary: I originally made this Character in the edgy and angsty teenage years and has adjusted to make him less conscious and more sympathetic when being put down.

How would the Functionist Council react to finding out their Useless One is actually God? Also, that person who looks like Rung and tossed her tcog, what was her name?

Dear Determinative Nominist,

In a number of timelines, the Functionist Council did discover that Rung had once been known as Primus; but entrenched as they were in their own obsessive dogma, they dismissed him as merely a false god. In one reality, in fact, they declared that Rung was the uncreator of myth, Primus's opposite given form, and had him executed in public in a propagandistic display.

As to the protester you speak of, she relinquished any name she had along with her original form, rejecting it as another part of the Functionist Council's desire to control Cybertron's bodies and minds.

"Everyone Leaves"

A commission, stemming an idea from the Functionist universe, where Megatron maintains a professional distance with Glitch, knowing full well about his obsessive nature. All seems well until Orion Pax joins forces with Megatron, bringing along a talented but feckless specialist who could use a little guidance...and things get complicated.

Green bean over here reminds me of the Karen’s that come in to a McDonalds to scream at the cashier for not giving them enough ketchup packets in their bag

I love how the AVLs whole philosophy basically amounts to looking at Rung and being like
