Warrior

**Warrior the Clumsy Harbour Tug** is one of the main characters in the SeventyVerse's TUGS spinoff series and is the fifth member of the Star Fleet.

## Backstory

Prior to the series starting, Warrior was supposed to be a fire tug. However, he proved to be a disappointment due to him being clumsy. It's just as well Big Mac was passing by when Warrior was contemplating his fate. Determined to help, Big Mac rushed to the Star Dock and requested that Captain Star take Warrior into his fleet. Captain Star bought Warrior without hesitation.

Warrior's capabilities range from the towing of barges (mainly Lord Stinker) to major liner docking operations, including the *Princess Alice* and the *Duchess*. Although a hard worker, Warrior, clumsy nature often caused trouble for the other vessels in Bigg City. Once, Warrior was taken off garbage detail to work with Big Mac to take stone from the quarry to the old quayside. On his journey, Warrior kept bumping into other workers in the Port. He went too far when he causes a high wave and it sinks Big Mac's barge. On his way to get a crane, Warrior found Ten Cents and Top Hat trying to save a sinking Izzy Gomez after he tried to sneak into port without a tow and ran aground. Warrior jumped in to help and with final support from Big Mac, they all rescued Izzy and everyone praised Warrior.

## Personality

He is extremely hardworking, despite the fact that his inherent clumsiness sometimes leads to problems. He is also quite loyal, strong-willed, determined, and never gives up. Despite Warrior's shortcomings, he has proved himself to be a valuable member of the Star Fleet with notable examples being when he helped put out the fires, saved Izzy Gomez from sinking and stopped the logs that were flowing from up the river. Captain Star has referred to him as a striker. Even though he's not the smartest tug on the fleet, Warrior can occasionally come up with bright (if unusual) ideas in dire situations, such as setting his garbage barge alight to make a beacon for the *S.S. Vienna*. Whenever he makes a mistake, Warrior is determined to set things right, as seen in *Sunshine*, when he is the only tug who openly acknowledges how badly the other Star Tugs treated Sunshine.

## Relationships

### Big Mac

Warrior is Big Mac's younger twin brother, and he's proud of that. When the duo are together, Big Mac brings out Warrior's determination and bravery. It was thanks to Big Mac that Warrior had a place in the Star Fleet.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Like the rest of the Star Fleet, Warrior is based on the tugs of San Francisco waters from the 1920s.

### Livery

Warrior is painted in the Star Fleet's corporate livery. This consists of a black hull, a yellow superstructure, white mast, and an American flag-styled red, white, and blue funnel. His name is painted on the sides of his bow in white and he has the number "5" on his funnel. He wears a blue cap.

## Differences between *TUGS*, *Salty's Lighthouse* and the SeventyVerse

* In both *Salty's Lighthouse* and *TUGS*, Big Mac and Warrior are all but confirmed to be best friends. In the SeventyVerse, not only are Big Mac and Warrior confirmed to be best friends, but also twin brothers.

## Trivia

* Sadly, Warrior's original *TUGS* voice actor Mike O'Malley and his *Salty's Lighthouse* actor, French Tickner, have both passed away. As a result, the preferred voice actor for Warrior is Jeff Bennett, who voices Clank from the *Tinker Bell* films.
* Warrior's worst nightmare is losing Big Mac, which almost happened when his brother shielded him from a bomb during World War II.
