Can I get hc reactions for how wheelie, tailgate, brains, and squeeks if you write for him would react to being thrown in a fighting ring for a battle royal. Last minibot standing wins. Who would go all out and try to win, and who would be knocked out? 😵‍💫🥊🚨🚑

I made this more of a boxing match or, push down bots to win because I don't want them to fight fight or get too hurt.

Wheelie:

He doesn't want to participate. He doesn't want to be used in a battle royal most likely for other's entertainment. And he doesn't want to fight or get hurt.

He tries to find a way out, either pleading or bribing whoever put him in.

If all his attempts to escape fall flat then he will fight. He can hold his own for a while but eventually he gets knocked down and taken out the ring.

If he knew getting knocked out meant her would be removed then he would have fell to the floor quicker. Although he feels some embarrassment about being the first out, he's glad he doesn't have to keep fighting.

Brains:

He immediately goes all in. They requested he fight, so he will and he plans to win.

He'll use whatever he has, whether they give him weapons or not.

He knocks down Wheelie because he's a lot more aggressive.

He then turns to the other two. Brains tries his best, but he is much smaller than the others and is easily knocked down.

Squeeks:

He doesn't really want to fight the other minibots. He'd rather be going up against Decepticons than bots he can call friends.

However, Izabella taught him to protect himself no matter what. And if it was the only way for him to get out, then he would do it.

He has his larger con arm and does his best to use it to deflect attacks. He doesn't shoot anyone, but he does try his best to just knock others down.

He ends up pushing Brains over and holding him down until someone removes Brains.

Tailgate:

He doesn't want to hurt bots smaller than him. But he will defend himself in a fight. He will also do his best to get out of a situation.

He knows Cyclonus would tell him to think of himself and do what he could to get out. But Tailgate also wants to try not to harm the others if he doesn't have to.

Tailgate does have an unfair advantage as he is the largest out of all of them.

He doesn't shoot, he essentially waits for all the others to be removed, then pushes Squeeks over.

Someone from outside declares him the winner. He's conflicted about winning. He's glad he won something but he also feels bad for the other bots.

Epic Engravings

We in Special Collections are enthusiastic about wood engravings, and I personally love everything related to classical civilizations (it was my field of study as an undergraduate). So, when this gem came across my desk, I knew I had to create a social media post to exhibit the stunning prints and craftsmanship.

The Odyssey: An Illustrated Revisiting, created by the artists of the Wood Engravers' Network, showcases wood engravings of characters and scenes from Homer's classic. Published in 2019 as a limited edition of 155 copies, this exquisite piece immerses readers in the world of ancient Greece through its intricate illustrations. Jon Hinkel of The Tight Squeek Press is responsible for the cover design, text, and binding. Each engraving was produced by a different artist from the Wood Engravers' Network. The resulting artwork captures the essence of the narrative, vividly bringing to life the adventures of Odysseus, his encounters with mythical creatures and gods, and the trials of his journey home. 

The featured images and artists who created them are as follows:

Cover: Jon Hinkel

Circe: Stacey Bumgarner

A Lotus Eater: Al Holter

Scylla & Charybdis: Laura Ladendorf

Charybdis: Dale Kennedy

Athena: Joanne Price

Aphrodite: Keith Cranmer

Seahorse: Susan Bradish

I couldn’t have expected that within the first 10 seconds (after seeing tech in the intro- let’s not get into thAT-) of the first episode of TALES OF THE UNDERWORLD i would be screaming.

I had to take a walk around my house before i could continue.
