Thread starter Michael Caboose Start date Dec 8, Michael Caboose New Member. Hey everyone, Obviously my name isn't Caboose. We are planning on putting armor together and going to Cons and whatnot.
I should introduce myself though: My name is actually Eli. I am 24 currently. As of this post, it is 14 days til mah berfday. I am trying to get into school for Mechanical Engineering. I once served in the Army. Currently I am a Security Officer.
The Reds and Blues are transported to a seperate location, where Washington motivates the Reds and Blues to do the right thing and eliminate Chrovos.
Carolina reveals Washington's brain injury, to which Washington walks away in rage. Tucker considers saving Washington from his injury at Temple's base, a decision that Carolina supports. The Reds and Blues save Washington from the bullet that shot him, causing a paradox that shattered time. Caboose seems to act very childish as his understanding of the world and actions are incorrect and shows a great amount of curiosity.
However, Caboose does show a lot of care to many characters, even to the Reds, despite them being rivals. He often tries to impress others in order to gain their respect, although it often backfires in some way.
Caboose shows a great amount of loyalty as well, as shown when he kept trying to resurrect Church through Epsilon.
Because of his mentality, Caboose easily becomes hurt if insulted, such as in Change of Plans , and is easily abused, such as when he was tricked to shake the Alien's "other arm".
Overall, Caboose may act like a child, but is very loyal and brave when the situation calls for it. He's also incessantly cheerful; always expressing enthusiasm and adopting an optimistic mentality on missions and in the face of danger. Upon passing through the Construct portal, Santa describes him as never having a negative attitude.
He does show that when he feels lonely he can become highly obsessive and secretive; such as the events in Relocation and his discovery of Freckles. When asked how Caboose's character was developed, Joel Heyman stated that Caboose is the only character who knows he's in a video game.
He also stated that the character's voice is similar to how a human speaks to a dog or cat, "only everything to him is an animal", leading to an eternal childish speech. Caboose's relationships with the other characters is unique in that a few episodes depicted the interior of his mind, where the incorrect mental projections of the other characters appeared with the exceptions of Tex, Lopez , Doc and Sheila. Rooster Teeth notes that originally, there was no plan for Caboose as a character; he started out simply as the Blue rookie counter to Donut.
Geoff Ramsey states on the DVD Commentary that Caboose was initially "smarmy" and "a very different character", albeit rather dim-witted. After fans reacted positively to his moments of stupidity, however, the crew later orchestrated a long decline in Caboose's intelligence, starting when Sheila is disabled for the first time in Episode 9. His mentality is again dealt a blow after O'Malley is forcibly ejected from his system, and he becomes fairly divorced from reality and prone to frequent non-sequiturs, going as far as to load his rifle with crayons and spelling his own name wrong.
This may also be attributed to the fact that Caboose's suit shut down for at least two days, and Caboose remarks "It was dark and I got to hold my breath! Although, shown in season 1 to have the accuracy to get a headshot on a Church-possessed Sarge, he is quoted in saying he has no idea how to use the gun in Episode He occasionally asks questions about things the others take for granted, such as why a flag is so important, and often fails to grasp even basic concepts, such as the meaning of AI.
He also is able to fly into a berserk state by thinking about something that makes him angry, namely "kittens He seems to have an extremely low voice and no recollection of what he did during this state. He attributes that to some kind of residual effect of O'Malley possessing him. All in all, Caboose's mentality could be compared to a baby or infant that can talk.
While rather dumb, he manages to make a plan to infiltrate Command which succeeds, and shows a good degree of driving skill, escaping an E. P by driving off a cliff. When Washington questions whether he can drive, he states, "Yes, but not an automatic. Only stick. However, there is a theory in the Engineering section. In Relocated, Caboose found the power in the blue base turned on, he believes electricity is "invisible magic". Caboose and I Caboose also doesn't seem to know the difference between his face and his helmet; along with that, he is unaware that he has switched helmets, as stated in Barriers to Entry.
Despite all this, Wash theorizes that Caboose is secretly a genius after he immediately starts fixing the timeline before Donut explains how to do that during Singularity. Regardless of whether or not there is a genuine cause to Caboose's current intellectual state, Rooster Teeth has retroactively written the present "mentally lacking" Caboose into scenes that predate most possible causes of brain damage, implying Caboose was effectively rewritten as either always having been this way or as a way for audiences to recognize his voice as it sounded different up until after Church and Tex's firefight with Omega in his head.
Somehow Caboose manages to do serious damage to whatever body Church is possessing. He blew up his original body with a tank Sheila in Episode 8 and disabled the lower half of Church's body when he was possessing Lopez. He nearly killed a Church-possessed Sarge in Episode 14 by shooting him in the head with a Sniper Rifle. His apparent definition of help is "shoot in the back". In Reconstruction: Chapter 6 , Church used this to their advantage by getting Caboose to shoot agent South Dakota by telling him that South was a friend and he should help her.
He is also implied to have shot Private Jones in the back after being released from the brig in Rat's Nest; Jones was later found dead.
Throughout the series, Caboose has shown a love for buttons, proudly pressing the button that taps into the microphone in Tex's robot body and the button that blows up the explosives in Church's robot. Also, in Revelation, Simmons frantically asks Caboose to assist him in fighting Tex by pressing buttons, and this results in a large number of rocket launchers falling down off of a box Much to Simmons's surprise, as this was immensely helpful.
When he press the buttons, he makes his own button pushing noises, like "Beep bop boop boop bop boop". However he presses one and ejects Jorge from the Sabre.
Multiple times throughout series, Caboose tries to avoid blame by directing it onto Tucker, ever since he shot and killed Church in Roomier Than it Looks.
Even when comatose in Reconstruction: Chapter 12 , he manages to groan " Not my fault Tucker did it When Epsilon shouts in pain, Caboose immediately blames Tucker. This trait can also be seen in Reconstruction: Chapter 6 , in which Washington witnesses Caboose throw a spike grenade terribly into a wall.
Caboose tries to avoid blame by stating that someone placed a wall in front of him. However, at the end of the episode, Caboose surprisingly admits to taking full responsibility for this incident. Because of his unintelligence, Caboose is a vulnerable target to enemies. Despite this, attempts to kill him fail, mainly because of his teammates.
In Season 5 , Gamma kills Caboose. However, he is revived because of Wyoming 's Temporal Distortion unit. In Reconstruction , Caboose is left critically injured by the Meta but is reluctantly saved by Washington , Church , and the Reds. He fails due to the confetti function implemented into Freckles.
Aside from his unintelligence, Caboose has been shown to act unsurprisingly like a silly cartoon character. In Oh Captains, My Captains , he was shown to have been passed by Simmons and Grif while they were sneaking through a Rebel base only to appear in front of them shortly after.
He does something similar in A Fistful of Colours where he appears right behind Temple who was overlooking him moments earlier on a cliff. He was even able to speak to his own echo saying "have a nice day" with it responding "thanks you too" in Heavy Mettle.
Along with this, he has fourth wall awareness. Since his behavior is cartoonish itself, it makes sense he would have those qualities. Though unintelligent and unskilled with weaponry, Caboose possesses tremendous physical strength when angry or in simple situations, thought by Church and Tucker to be " God's way of compensating.
In Recreation , he was able to flip a warthog right-side-up, with Sarge commenting " Wow. You are strong, " and in Season 10 , when Epsilon manually enrages him, he simply swept aside a large number Tex drones just by charging at them, easily overwhelming them with his raw power.
Because of his immense strength, Caboose can be seen as the powerhouse and secret weapon of the Reds and Blues. In Season 13 , after Caboose passes through a portal, Santa increases the gravity of the area tenfold to test Caboose.
Instead of being crushed by the overwhelming change in gravity, Caboose doesn't even notice and is able to handle the extreme change in gravity with little to no effort.
Assuming that Chorus has relatively the same gravity as Earth, this is an amazing feat in perspective, if the gravity was increased tenfold on Earth, all life would be destroyed and showcases how strong Caboose really is.
After Agent Washington was shot in the neck in Season 15 , Caboose backs up Sarge in taking care of the Zealots and flies into non-O'Malley nor Epsilon influenced rage and begins beating up several of the zealots with his bare hands till the last one flees in terror.
Caboose's response is to not only charge at him with a golf club but was able to hit the Red Simulation Trooper so hard that he was sent flying and ricochets across the room like a pinball. Despite his unintelligent behavior, Caboose has shown a surprising skill in engineering. In Recreation Caboose alone was able to put Epsilon into an alien artifact, and in Revelation , he was shown to successfully use the crane controls, with the help of F.
In Season 10 , he and Simmons were able to install Epsilon into Carolina's mongoose so they could spy on her. In Season 11 , Caboose was successfully able to repair his pet war robot, Freckles , and the latter referred to Caboose as his "master". This counter-intuitive skill is likely due to Caboose being a kinesthetic learner, being better at learning tasks that are completely hands-on, and requiring more practical knowledge than anything else. Also, it may be due to Caboose having a form of savant syndrome, which in this case would be where he has skills in engineering and athletics, but very low levels of independent living skills and other forms of intelligence.
These reasons could be why he states to Washington in Reconstruction: Chapter 18 that he can only drive cars with a stick shift, not automatic, since it requires full physical attention, like shifting gears and letting off the gas to shift.
Despite not having many skills, Caboose has killed several characters, although some were the cause of friendly fire. Command also believes that South Dakota was killed by Caboose, but it was in fact Washington who lied to them in Reconstruction: Chapter 7. He also managed to kill some Space Pirates during the Chorus conflict, largely due to Freckles' aimbot technology that now augments his assault rifle. In Season 15 , Caboose takes out numerous Zealots by beating them up, much like in Season 3.
In The Shisno Paradox while time travelling, Caboose sneezes on Alex in the past, giving him the common cold. This eventually kills him as his immune system wasn't used to Modern Germs. Caboose has been well-received by the community and has become one of the most popular characters in the series. In , Caboose was selected as the Best Male Performance in the 3rd Annual Rockets on Prisoner Awards, which are intended to recognize exemplary work in Halo machinima.
In his acceptance speech , Joel Heyman, his voice actor, acted in-character to honor Caboose. It has even been stated in the series that Caboose is considered the overall fan favorite and he's possibly the most known on several occasions, such as in the PSA Halo-Ween , as the Reds dressed up as him on Halloween.
