#sh-2

His name is “Seasprite” - yes, that’s pretty much the actual helo’s name, but I liked it. It sounded TF enough! It might be a nickname he ended up taking up, if anything, based on his backstory.

Also wow it’s about time I posted some OC stuff. I know I started out with a lot of fan art stuff around here, but at some point I want to add original designs too!

This nerd ended up getting his alt mode from an aircraft carrier museum (Specifically, the USS Midway,) thinking it was an active duty warship at the time. (He was not yet briefed on How Things Work on this planet.) Shenanigans ensue!

Seasprite ends up keeping the SH-2 mode, and just chills part-time as a museum display as a disguise, befriending a few members of the volunteer crew who end up finding out the truth! (I had a story in mind for this which I should write sometime, if I can find the patience.)

He’s a super chill mech, who would rather just fly around and listen to the sounds of the ocean via his sonar buoys than fight anyone (he enjoys oceanography and is really interested in Earth’s marine life...!)

I could probably have him upgrade to a, SH-2G “Super Seasprite” at some point, but since these machines are no longer in service in the US either way, it wouldn’t exactly matter. At most - if he just paints himself the same grey as a UH-1Y, he could loosely pass as one, I doubt anyone (except avgeeks and some military folks) would even notice, ha!

Edit: added some face doodles I forgot earlier:

Incident - 1

On ██/██/████ Dr. Key decided to interview SH-2 about the Zombist and why he chose to side with them. SH-2 was taken out of solitary and outfitted with two pairs of  Cahrronazo handcuffs (Dutch handcuffs in my universe) alongside that his hands were placed into metal cylinders to prevent him from raising his scythe. SH-2 was transported to a meeting room with soundproof walls with one chair, one table, one recorder and a loudspeaker to help observers ask the questions that SH-2 will answer.

After █ hours SH-2 was escorted back to solitary and the tape was collected. Quietly muttering something to himself. When observers had placed the recorder on the table and set it to run a an unbearable sound was made from the recorder. Observers described the noise as “Unholy” or “Ear-splitting”. At that very moment multiple dark voids had opened around the room. All nearby guards were immediately told to head toward the room.

The guards were swarmed within minutes as ShadowScythes poured out of the doorway towards SH-2’s chamber. Cutting down everything in their path. Within █ minutes SH-2 was broken out of his chamber. SH-2 had gone out breaking ████, ██████, and ████ out of detainment. Successfully breaking out of the facility and heading towards the mainland.

It took at least █ days to recapture all the escapees. With minimal damage to neighbouring towns and cities. There were about █ thousand casualties before the SFA were called to assist in recapture. The department takes full responsibility for the damage done.

“It took us a while to get those bastards back in their cells. SH-2 was placed in “Heavy Solitary Confinement” a form of solitary that places the person or creature under 24/7 surveillance. The room is lit up so we can see what’s going on in there.

There are at least four guards watching over the person or creature. The door is sealed with pure titanium, blocked by a laser gate that burns straight through organic matter. The floor and walls are made of a soundproof material. His hands are covered in a tight-seal cylinder chained to both his sides. His legs are chained to the floor at the ankles. That guy isn’t going anywhere. We’ll have to question him about how he knew the things he knew. Heh, I’d really hate be him right now.”
