Diesel 10

**Diesel 10 (née Cockade) the Warship Engine** is a diesel from the Mainland and one of the antagonists of the SeventyVerse.

## Backstory

Cockade was in a workshop after being chosen for a project demonstration, led by Jacob Hockings (going by the alias P.T. Boomer). Cockade was to be fitted with a giant claw, which would be used to remove rubble without the need of a breakdown crane. At one point, Cockade frightened Sadie and Delilah into joining forces with him. One night, the three diesels almost caught Oliver and Toad during their escape but they were chased off by D7101. Later on, Cockade would be part of Hockings' invasion of Sodor, along with Arry, Bert, Sadie, Delilah, Bowler, George, Horace and Addison Darnell. During this time, Diesel 10 would attack Tidmouth Sheds and attempt to kill Douglas but Oliver stood up to him (this event lead to Douglas and Oliver becoming a couple). Later on, as Bowler, Horace and George were caught, Sadie and Delilah stood up to him as well, thanks to a talk from Donald. This just left Diesel 10, Arry, Bert and Hockings to go after Tasha. Eventually, they tracked her down to Knapford. Diesel 10 and Hockings then gave chase to Tasha, Duck and Burnett along the Little Western whilst Arry and Bert were stopped by Donald and Douglas. Eventually, the chase led to Bulgy's Bridge which was collapsing. Duck, Tasha and Burnett made it across before the bridge collapsed but Diesel 10 and Hockings were not so lucky. As a result, Diesel 10 came off the rails and landed on the road near Bulgy's field and Hockings was injured. After the villains were rounded, Diesel 10 was taken back to a workshop on the mainland for repairs where he learnt that Bowler was given the Final Firing and Addison also revealed her feelings of hatred for diesels. Diesel 10 was shocked and realized that they had created a monster.

## Relationships

### Jacob Hockings

Diesel 10 was the most loyal to Jacob Hockings during his first invasion on the North Western Railway. This is mainly believed to be that it was due to Hockings referring to him as the "Engine of the Future" when first equipping Diesel 10 with his claw, Pinchy.

### Bowler

Diesel 10 teamed up with Bowler to take over. Of course, he was shocked to learn that Addison Darnell that Bowler was dead.

### Diesel

Diesel and Diesel 10 have met each other before, but circumstances aren't made clear as to what that is (aside from Diesel knowing that Diesel 10's real name is Cockade). Diesel is very firm with Diesel 10 on not scrapping the other engines, but he doesn't listen. However, years later when Arry and Bert have been tamed, Diesel feels he could do the same thing with Diesel 10. Unfortunately, this backfired big time as Diesel 10 intended for Arry, Bert and Thomas to go up in flames, much to Diesel's horror.

## Enemies

### Oliver

While on the run, they nearly got caught by Diesel 10, Sadie and Delilah, but they were chased off by D7101. When Diesel 10 first came to Sodor, years later, Oliver was terrified but after Diesel 10 attempted to kill Douglas, Oliver stood up to him. It was thanks to this that Douglas and Oliver became a couple.

### Bear

Bear often ran into the likes of Diesel 10, Sadie and Delilah, and even had to divert them when he realised Oliver and Toad would be scrapped.

### Addison Darnell

At first, Diesel 10 thought of Addison as a nusiance and a careless teenager. But after she reveals to have forced a Final Firing on Bowler while purposefully saving Duck, he becomes *terrified* of her.

## Personality

Diesel 10 is an evil, conniving, manipulative, murderous, bullying and raving diesel locomotive, villainous and mischievous, psychotic monster, and a cruel, sadistic and irredeemable megalomaniac. He absolutely despises steam engines, believing them to be "cowardly, cranky, worn-out hunks of metal who couldn’t hurt a fly!". At one point, Diesel 10 had no qualms about killing two of his fellow diesels (Arry and Bert) in the fire he caused at the Dieselworks. The only thing he fears is Addison Darnell, who he had turned into a monster.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Diesel 10 is based on a British Rail (BR) Class 42 diesel-hydraulic engine with an added non-regulation hydraulic claw. All but two members of the class were named after Royal Navy warships, so they, and the similar Class 43 (not to be confused with the InterCity 125 power cars with the same class number, the basis for *The Railway Series* characters Pip and Emma), were nicknamed "Warships". Two of these engines are preserved, D821 Greyhound and D832 Onslaught. Diesel 10's real-life counterpart is D810 Cockade, which entered traffic on 16 September 1959, was withdrawn on 3 December 1972 and was cut up on 26 September 1973 at Swindon.

In real life, adding in a hydraulic claw onto a diesel engine would most likely be considered illegal, if it was not approved by government authorities.

### Livery

Diesel 10 is painted yellow ochre with tan stripes along his sides. His name is painted on his side. His buffer beams are painted red with dark brown buffers. "Pinchy" is entirely painted dark brown.

## Differences between the episodes and the series

* In the episodes, Diesel 10 is shown to be a permanent member of Sodor, despite  being a psychopathic murderer in the first film. In this series, Diesel 10 has been sent away from Sodor twice and is not a permanent member at all.
* In Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Diesel 10 is said to been on Sodor before, despite the film being his first appearance. In Diesels and Westerners, Diesel 10 is on Sodor for the first time.
	+ That being said, Bear, Diesel, Oliver and Toad are familiar with him.
* In the TV show, despite being called Diesel 10, there is no visible number, In this series, his number is D810.
	+ This is because a real BR class 42 "Warship" has that number.
* In the TV show, he is only known as Diesel 10 with no other name given. In this series, his real name is Cockade, which has two meanings: one being for a war ship used in the Royal Navy, and the other one is a ribbon used in a hat. The latter meaning was so embarrasing that he changed his name to "Diesel 10".
	+ Cockade is the real name of the engine who bore the number D810.

## Trivia

* Despite having a canon CGI voice actor, Neil Crone, his *Thomas and the Magic Railroad* voice actor, is chosen for him in this series instead.
