❱❱ Minimus Ambus

NAME Minimus Ambus
BIRTHPLACE Ambustus Minor
SPECIES Cybertronian

AGE ~5 million yrs
HEIGHT 9', armored
WEIGHT heavy
BUILD Mechanical
SPECIALITY Bureaucracy

Minimus Ambus, true to his name, is a tiny dude. This diminutive robot has always had big dreams, however, wishing to be the kind of venerated Autobot who holds the line against evil and serves as a soldier in the Great War. As a "load-bearer", he has a specially-empowered spark that allows his body to survive drastic physical augmentations.

While Minimus does love his spark brother, he's also always felt overshadowed by Dominus's long string of accomplishments. It probably doesn't help that Minimus is usually a stiff, laconic sort, not very good at expressing what feelings he has.

General Information

Minimus Ambus is a a loadbearer, which is a very rare ability that allows him to don heavy suits of armor. In the IDW universe, Ultra Magnus was a large and powerful Autobot who commanded fear and respect, but died early in the war. Chief Justice Tyrest, who wrote up a compromise between the Autobots and Decepticons on war conduct, decided to maintain the illusion that Ultra Magnus only faked his death and created a set of armor that could be worn by a loadbearer who he believed could play the part. Many died in the line of duty enforcing the Tyrest Accord, with very few knowing the truth behind the multiple "near death" experiences Ultra Magnus went though. The Minimus people usually see is also a suit of armor, albeit one that puts him on the shorter-medium size of the spectrum. His true Irreducible Form is a minibot - smallest of the small. ★ First Impressions: Outer Armor ♚ VISUAL: Minimus is big! Normally, he is about 13-15 feet tall in his universe. He transforms into a minesweeper. He's also got a mustache: the facial insignia of the House of Ambus ♚ FASHION: Transformers don't really do fashion (unless they're cool enough to wear a cape), and Minimus is more utilitarian than anything when it comes to accessories, but he makes sure that his plating is polished and free of dirt each day. ♚ DEMEANOUR: Used to being on the short end, Minimus stands tall and stiffly with a stern expression on his face. He crosses his arms a lot, but he does place a hand on other people when talking if he knows them. He fidgets with his mustache is he's nervous, but otherwise he's good at hiding how he feels (and whether he's lying). ♚ SOUND: Minimus Ambus' voice is gentle and rarely raises in volume. Not that it helps when he speaks like he's disapproving of everything you do. He has a British accent, one which I have not decided on specifically. ♚ SCENT: He smells like metal and a bit like oil...he practices only The Best Hygiene, so there isn't much dirty stuff to detect. ♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: No psychic abilities. Minimus's mind is a manifestation of an organized shelf filled with labeled containers. There's a constant undercurrent of worrying about what will happen if he goes out of line, but is otherwise filled with lawbooks. If reading his mind, contact me for information. ♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Minimus doesn't have magic abilities of his own, but those that can detect/see souls can sense that he has a Spark in this chest. ★ Irreducible Minimus ♚ VISUAL: His true form is more bare-bones and simple, having hidden it away for his own safety. A minibot can be about 8-10 feet tall, and Minimus is very thin compared to the chunkier guys his height He transforms into a small turbofox, a native lifeform of Cybertron, but he hides it as best as he can due to past prejudices against beastformers. ♚ DEMEANOUR: While not as sure and direct in his movements as when in his outer armor, he does attempt to hide his unease in this form. He stands in a more relaxed manner, though it may be because he sees no use in making himself look important. ♚ SOUND: Minimus has his same voice in his irreducible form and while wearing the outer armor. ★ Ultra Magnus ♚ VISUAL: As big as Transformers get without being a legendary ancient robot! He's almost 50 feet tall in canon. There have been multiple characters that have claimed to be attracted to this form, so he's apparantely handsome for a robot. He transforms into a hauler that carries other small vehicles. ♚ DEMEANOUR: Ultra Magnus is so rigid that he could be mistaken for a statue if it weren't for the glow of his optics. His face is grim and he says everything in a serious tone of voice. He moves with purpose, refusing to let any part of him be out of place. ♚ SOUND: Ultra Magnus has a deep voice that commands respect from other Autobots, and according to the writer, he has a British accent. The suit has a vocal modifier that differs from that of the suit wearer. ♚ SCENT: He is still clean, though some small flecks of dirt might sneak in. Ultra Magnus smells of polished oil and gunpowder. GET CODE HERE
