Physical Appearance
Robot Mode
Rubmur has not many distinguishing features.. He has the basic body frame of a
‘bot, more akin to that of a Micromaster. It’s just that there’s some of his red
hair that comes from around different limbs. His color scheme is a basic red and
white. His face makes him look always awake, and that he’s always rearing to
go. His eyes are a deep blue. He’s more of a lanky-sort of ‘bot. On the right side
of his chest is a Maximal Insignia, and on the left is the Napster insignia. His gun
hangs at his side, and his tail does not transformer, but stays as a part of the
‘bot.
Beast Mode
As a primate, Rubmur is relatively short and lanky. Like Tigger though, he’s able
to use his tail as an extra appendage. His looks are that of a normal red-bellied
lemur. His eyes are big and blue. You should get the basic idea.

Skills
Dancing – Dancing is something Rubmur does well. There are many forms of
dancing, and Rubmur is skilled in more then one, and in fact, is close to all. Like
all music-fanatics that aren’t tone deaf, he does have one dance type that he
doesn’t enjoy. Rubmur is not too fond of disco dancing. The music may be a tad
catchy, but Rubmur brushes it off, mainly due to the mass amount of other,
better, dancing music that’s out there. If he were to have to pick a favorite,
breakdancing would be it. Rubmur thoroughly enjoys the feel of moving about in
that form, and, well, it helps him in battle occasionally.
The most famous dance that he does, is “The Lemur Dance,” which he does in
celebration for certain events. He made it to give him his own dance moves to
do. When he’s in the middle of doing “The Lemur Dance,” others join in one the
celebration, and fun.
Karaoke – Rubmur, from listening to music repeatedly, has come quite adept at
the Art known as Karaoke. He’s usually too timid to show it off, but when he’s
by himself, watch out. He can let loose with a variety of different musical hits.
His favorite happens to be from the Terran 1980’s.
Exercise – Rubmur loves to keep in shape. Okay, robots, or more importantly
transformers, only need a good oil bath every now and then as well as a good
supply of energeon to keep running. This doesn’t stop Rubmur from going
through the actions of jogging and the likes. You can usually see that Rubmur is
training when one of his headbands is donned.
Jumping – From Rubmur’s beast form of a red-bellied lemur comes the great
ability of jumping. He isn’t able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but he
can jump rather high, considering his size and all.
Arsenal
Gainer – A semi-automatic rifle Rubmur holds with two hands. One hand is on
the trigger and the other on the barrel to help him aim. It shoots out
high-powered bullets to make the enemy get the equivalent of having the wind
knocked out of them. On the tip of the barrel is a long spike that can be used
to thrust into the bodies of enemies lying down on the ground. It also comes
with a remote control and a stand so you can position the gun in the ground
and go off elsewhere to fire it from afar.
Knasty Knuckles – Pronounced as “Nasty Knuckles,” these are brass knuckles,
or a sort. They slip on over Rumbur’s hands and rest at the knuckles. They are
used to make upclose-fighting easier and pack a bigger punch. Due to the time
it takes to slip them on, Rubmur uses them when he knows he’s about to go
into a fight.
Equipment
Jitterbug Bubbles – Bubbles invented by Rubmur himself, as described in history.
Their consequences are quite satisfying. If a bubble, blown through a bubble
blower kept inside the JB Container, touches an object is moves around a little.
Not in a wildly swinging around as if you’re a mad man moving, but a rhythmic,
soothing movement, usually to any music that happens to be playing around
there. Wears of quickly the bubbles do, but the memory and joy that it brings
stays. One might think it’d be ingenious to use these in battle. Well that one is
wrong. For if you’re fighting an opponent, it isn’t wise to relieve his stress
during a fight. Plus, you open yourself up for attacks if you take out a Jitterbug
Wand to blow some bubbles. This is also known as “Chemical Q.”
Headphones and Music Player – Hmm, I wonder what this could be? Ah yes, a
regular sort of portable music player. It has one opening, that is customizable
to fit 8-tracks, tapes, CDs, small CDs, and other forms of music storage
devices.
Napster – Invented in the late 1900’s, this program is the savior to music
fanatics. Built into Rubmur’s music player, it works like it did back in the late
90’s. What Rubmur is able to do is think of a name of a song, and or artist, and
up will come a list in his mind. Sort of like he’s seeing through X-ray or night
vision goggles through his eye sockets. The song can be played instantly due to
a faster then a cable modem type technology. When Napster is in use,
searching for songs and such, all the Maximal insignias on Rubmur turn into the
happy little Napster faces.
Headband – Rubmur has a various colors of headbands that he can strap around
his head, weather he is in beast or robot mode. Nothing special, except that
the fabric is flames retardant.
Personality
Rubmur was dull, because he had no life. He never did anything but his work,
and never went out. The day that Chemical Q first interacted with his body
though, he livened up. Instead of his quiet, pushover self he is now ecstatic. He
enjoys living and living near others. He’s one to liven up the party when needed,
or even if it isn’t necessary. Most of his actions revolve around either the
dance, or his joy towards how everything is going.
He doesn’t enjoy when someone isn’t enjoying life. When he sees a ‘bot like this
he gets really serious, and attempts to help the particular ‘bot through their
problems. If he sees that the ‘bot doesn’t want help, or if Rubmur can’t help
him, he backs off. When fighting in battle, Rubmur takes a perception on it as,
this is war, I’ve got to fight. He’ll usually try to incorporate dance steps into the
fighting though, because he is a hand-to-hand fighter, and not a far away
blasting with guns type.
History
Rubmur began his life in a strict, military home. He lived only with his father, and
his brother, Gumshoe. Rubmur’s father, Egog, pushed his two sons towards a
military lifestyle. Gumshoe, the elder of the two, was a perfectionist and didn’t
want the military lifestyle. He in turn went into a detective agency program to
work his way up. Because he was succeeding, Egog didn’t mind. Rubmur on the
other hand had a tendency to be lazy and enjoyed letting life pass him by. So,
Rubmur was Egog’s follower into the military academy.
Now, Egog loved fighting so much, and his strength was so vast, he fought on
the front line with his fists, taking down opponents. Rubmur’s superiors, thinking
he’d have the same talent as Egog, placed him there as well. Rubmur did his job
as a good boy and made sure everything he did was good enough for him to get
by, but he didn’t enjoy it. It was this enjoyment that sparked the interest of
Rubmur into chemistry. He needed a hobby to pass the time, and for not reason
in particular, that became it. In an effort to make a ‘quick kill’ gas or chemical
to eliminate an opposing frontline quickly, Rubmur invented a Chemical entitled
“Chemical Q.”
During an examination of what the Chemical could do, a commanding officer
burst into Rubmur’s room. Rubmur whipped around, spilling the chemical over his
legs. When standing up to salute the officer, his legs wouldn’t stop moving.
They were moving in a rhythmic motion. Rubmur realized it was coming from the
room across the hall from a small radio. Well he was then promptly kicked out of
the Ninth Armament Maximal Faction for disrespecting an officer.
Rubmur took it to the courts, hiring lawyer Fetid to plea his case. After the
Judge saw he was wrongfully terminated Rubmur got back in the NAMF. He
didn’t want to be there though, so he promptly quit. He then joined whatever
team there is on the Maximal board, searching for excitement and the a job
where he can dance.
