## Physical description

Crimson/Silver

**Tyrone Templeton Hatt** is a potential character in *Universal Rides* and *Adventure Squad*. He is Julian and Callie's fraternal triplet, and later succeeds Buzz as the second user of **Quake 0**.

## Biography

Tyrone and his siblings were built as experiments, but were only brought to life at the request of Sir Topham Hatt, who was interested in seeing the birth process firsthand. The Hatt family's DNA was used and randomized for the process, though the resulting triplets were placed under the legal guardianship of the Leonold family. Tom and Lysander elected to hold off on giving them identifying features until they properly developed as individuals, much like they did with the past births. Tyrone was named after a moose he saw at a Canadian wildlife center, and was later given his current labels. After Buzz chose to retire from active service, Tyrone replaced him as the user of Quake 0.

## Personality

Tyrone is very proud of his strength and size, and tends to be loud and boisterous when expressing this. Despite this, he bonds very well with his siblings and cousins, and is very respectful of his elders, leading to him getting along with Buzz. Despite this, Tyrone shares the philosophy that his peers have about respect; only people within the right morality are to receive it, and the elderly are not exempt from the rule.

Like the rest of his cousins and siblings, Tyrone is very protective of his friends and family, and is fully willing to kill when sufficiently prompted. Unlike Tori, Charlotte and Jessica, who are generally laid-back and low-key, Tyrone always puts himself front and center, loudly making it clear that he can and will fight for others. This generally leads the former three to gather around and back him up, given that his intentions very much line up with their own.

## Appearance

Tyrone is based on the GWR 850 Class, particularly the three examples built with the frames extended backwards to hold a steam crane supported by a 4-wheel trailing bogie. Two examples were originally built at Swindon in 1901 for use around the works, Nos. 17 Cyclops and 18 Steropes. A third, No. 16 Hercules, followed in 1921. All three were scrapped in 1936.

Tyrone has numerous modifications in comparison to the real design, in that he is an oil burner, his trailing truck is more robust, he has guard irons in front of and behind his wheels, and he has a tall set of fuel tanks behind his cab surrounding his crane, which is a hydraulically-powered telescoping model instead of the real locomotive's fixed-distanced steam crane.

Much like Tom and Tori, Tyrone has segmented heterochromia; both of his eyes have two colors, being an even split between crimson and silver. Both of his eye colors are shared with Callie, though Julian only shares the silver color of his irises. While his eyes retain these colors under normal circumstances, Tyrone at his angriest will instead sport "Killer Eyes"; his pupils become purple, his irises become all black, and his scleras turn yellow with red bloodshot veins.

When he was born, Tyrone was painted a plain grey with a red bufferbeam and footplate and silver coupling rods. After receiving his name, he was painted charcoal black with crimson lining surrounding colored panels, painted in silver. His footplate and wheels are also painted black, while his coupling rods are now red. His crane itself is painted silver with a black wheelhouse and crimson side bolts, while a crimson stripe can be seen on the side of all three segments of his crane arm. His hook is painted crimson, while the NWR lettering on the side of the outermost extension uses the silver over a crimson drop shadow. He has silver nameplates in the center of his side tanks, while his number is painted on the side of his lower fuel tanks in crimson with a darker trim.

## Mech

Tyrone's Guardian of Nature mech is the exact same one used by Buzz, though it was overhauled as part of the transfer.

## Notes

* Tyrone is named after the character of the same named from *The Backyardigans*.
