There we are, all settled in. Home sweet home! ...Er, sort of. ~~Not ever really going to be home, I don't think.~~

Ugh... I don't even know how long I've been here anymore. ~~I miss Tiesel and Bon.~~ But there's no use in keeping track of it for too long, right? We'll find a way out somehow. It's just going to take some time. ~~I'm still not very sold on the whole airship thing, but... I guess it couldn't hurt any to try.~~

I wonder if there are any Halloween decorations around anywhere... Probably not likely, but maybe there are some in the bargain bin or something. ~~Definitely not going to pick up any candy corn... If there's any still around, it's probably all hard and gross by now.~~

((All strikes barely even there))

Um... Should have posted this earlier, but... Could someone come here and get a look at this or something. I was bitten before, while getting my stuff, but I've been too busy to do anything lately. ~~Not feeling very good.~~

~~Maybe I should have brought it along after all...~~

Um... I need some help. I left a few things over at my place before I came to where everyone else is, you know? And I need to go get them, but I don't have that much to defend myself. I just need a few people to come with me. I should be fine on the way back, but it's a bit of a walk.

*childish, panicked screaming can be heard*

What's going on?!

Oh nooooooo!

*Tron cuts in*

Calm down! The building's fine, okay? Just... sit down and be quiet for a moment! *heavy sigh* ~~I... I can't believe this...~~

I heard something that sounded like explosions. What happened out there?! Ugh... nevermind, I'll go look for myself!

A, B, C! Let's go!

OOC: Bonne Machines Guide

Well, since Tron's going to be building a lot of these buggers, I figure it would be best to keep a reference for everyone (and also maybe have this serve as a place where the mods can go HEY-O, TOO FAR or something like that). Only the "big" ones are listed here. Miscellaneous, minor devices have been omitted.

All images obtained from Megaman Legends Station, just resized to keep from omnomnoming the page.

Servbots

The servbots, as their name suggests, are meant to serve the Bonne family. They clean, they cook, they operate some machines, aid the Bonnes on various escapades, and even can pack some firepower when they bring weapons along. Each servbot has his own personality, but all for the most part are childish and naive, often giving up secrets that they're not supposed to give up or treating each mission like a game. They are Tron's "kids," and as hard as she is on them, she loves the little buggers to death, so if you mess with them, you're going to be sorry.

Progress in Daisychain: Servbots A, B, and C complete. It isn't likely that any more will be made.

In MML: Tron has 41 servbots in Megaman Legends, each named according to the order they were made. They're nigh indestructible, and either pilot the smaller machines or accompany the Gustaff.

In Daisychain: Tron has managed to make three servbots in Daisychain: A, B, and C. They mainly help her around the garage and gather parts for her, but she hasn't made any servbot-sized weapons for them to use as of yet. They are far from indestructible, and are powered by a souped-up rechargeable battery. At night, they "sleep" plugged in to recharge.

A has more of a leader-type personality, cheerful, optimistic, and always ready for action. He's also the most gregarious of the group, and will usually be the first to talk to people. However, he's also the most gullible of the three.

B is shy, curious, and the first one to question things if something seems a little off. He's usually the first to offer to help Tron with her work, always wanting to know how this and that works.

C is the most mischievous, and will often talk A and C into doing things. He's not the outright prank-playing type, but he has a habit of getting into trouble. Usually if B doesn't know how something works, C's probably figured it out through messing with it a little. If it's not broken.

Beacon Bombs

[no image available]

The Beacon Bombs aren't really bombs; they're devices that send out a signal to the servbots, indicating a spot of interest. Once they're shot from whatever device has been installed for the purpose (whether it be a hand-held gun or something attached to one of the other robots), they attach to what they were fired. The signal lasts for a few minutes before dying down. Often, these are used in the heat of battle, in the middle of a mission, or when silence is needed (in other words, when Tron is unable to give specific instructions for the servbots to do something). This is basically their purpose both in MML and in Daisychain.

Progress in Daisychain: Handheld Beacon Bomb complete, with more made for other Bonne Machines as needed.

The Finkel

The Finkel is Tron's scouting robot, going wherever the Gustaff can't reach. It's not meant for offensive purposes, so it doesn't have any weapons. Tron uses it to accompany the servbots remotely.

Progress in Daisychain: Complete

In MML: As stated above, the Finkel goes where the Gustaff can't reach. In The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Tron took the Finkel and the servbots into a dig site to find refractor shards (to sell for the money they needed). The Finkel could ram into things, fire Beacon Bombs, and make a loud noise to get the attention of others.

In Daisychain: The Finkel serves a similar purpose in Manhattan, though Tron will occasionally send it off on its own in order to scout out an area before sending the servbots in (since the little guys aren't as resilient as the ones on Terra). In addition to the previous incarnation's features, Tron has added speakers to it in order to communicate with others openly, since she won't always have the servbots to interact with others for her. Like the servbots, the Finkel needs to be recharged.

The Gustaff

The Gustaff is the bot the Bonnes choose when they want to get something done. Either Tron or Teisel ride in the cockpit, controlling the Gustaff from within (although a servbot is perfectly able of doing the same), often accompanied by servbots. It acts as an armor for the rider, and is made to be offensive, rather than defensive, so it packs quite a bit of power. The Gustaff is approximately two and a half times the size of the average joe, and is controlled either through a system of levers or (somewhat humorously) through a device resembling a PS1 controller.

Progress in Daisychain: Tron's started on it, but it's going to be awhile before she finishes. Probably about an in-game month or so, since the Gustaff is more complicated than the other robots she's managed to complete. It might take less time if she has help, but probably only by a week at best.

In MML: In Megaman Legends, the Gustaff has an energy cannon which can be upgraded to shoot bombs or missiles, as well as other upgrades that include tank legs and the ability to hover. It also had the ability to shoot Beacon Bombs.

In Daisychain: The Gustaff isn't going to have any of the upgrades it had in-game. It's not even going to have the cannon, since Tron probably won't be able to make anything like that without a refractor or something to build off of. In other words, the Gustaff is there to protect Tron as she goes out into the city and can attack with its fists (which are still pretty strong in their own right) but isn't about to be laying down a path of plasma bullets. Real bullets might come later with more upgrades, but it's going to take a long time before that's able to happen.

Also, powering it will be quite a problem for Tron. Tron will probably keep using electrical power, but the sheer amount needed for the Gustaff means that whenever she uses it, it's going to be awhile before she's able to use it again.

I need to stop getting lost in work, huh? And I guess that sickness stuff didn't help much either... On the bright side, in the time between my last entry and now, I managed to finish two more servbots and the beacon bomb! That just leaves one more thing to be built. I'll probably send them out to go find some parts to use for it. ~~I should probably send the Finkel out with them, just in case. They'll probably end up getting themselves into trouble, anyway.~~ I only wish I had a wider variety of materials to use... Looks like the Gustaff will only be using its fists this time.

I haven't seen Blue Boy lately, either. And he was supposed to be getting me some parts, too! And here I thought he was the noble "keep your promises" type! You better not be slacking off! I didn't fix that buster of yours for free, you know! ~~He better not have gotten himself hurt.~~

Um... I heard that the monster went by somewhere in the west. Hope all of you down that way are okay.

So... Let's talk about something happier! Servbot A has been completed! Say hello to everyone, A.

[voice post]

"Yes, Miss Tron! Um... H-hello, everyone! D-did I do good, Miss Tron?"

"You did great! Now go back to cleaning up the mess, okay?"

"Yes, Miss Tron!"

[/voice post]

He'll need to recharge every night, but at least he's complete. Just wish I had the materials I had back home... ~~Hopefully he'll be a hard worker so I won't have to make a torture room here. Then again, maybe I should start on one, just in case... I don't have time for laziness!~~

Wow... Must've been working more than I thought. Oh well!

I suppose I've gotten settled in, but that's not what's important at the moment! Just to let you all know, I'm going to be sending out a prototype pretty soon. DON'T TOUCH IT. It's going to be bad enough with all those crab things out there! And you'll know it when you see it. Just look for the skull emblem!

Current Projects

Finkel mk. II prototype: Finished!
Took a few tries to figure out how to power the thing. So far, rechargeable batteries seem to be the best bet. Hopefully these trial runs nwill show just how long they last.

Servbot A: In Progress
Shouldn't be that hard to finish. Just need to see how the Finkel's trial run goes.

Okay, since none of you are answering over the radio....

YOU GUYS HAD BETTER CHECK IN IN RIGHT NOW OR YOU'RE GONNA GET PUNISHED SO HARD YOU WON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT PRAISE IS LIKE! IF ANY OF YOU GET HURT IN THE TIME IT TAKES FOR ME TO FIND YOU, YOU... YOU... YOU'RE IN FOR IT! DON'T THINK I'M LYING! IT'S GONNA BE WORSE THAN WHEN YOU LOST THE GOLDEN REFRACTOR, YOU HEAR ME?! ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE ME ALL WORRIED SICK FOR NOTHING!

Tiesel...? Bon...? If either of you are here, just... respond too, okay? This place creeps me out. It's like going through the ruins except I don't have anything around to protect me.

Hey, if anyone else can see this, where would be the best place to find a junk yard or something like that?
