Shift

**Shift** is a skilled Stikbot engineer that worked alongside Striker in his operation against the high lord Vamprah.

## Appearance

Shift is a solid green Stikbot with orange bungee strings and black suction cups.

For the majority of the original series, Shift sported transparent green glasses and silver armor plates with lime accents for his arms and legs. The arm armor is long and pointy at the elbows, while his leg armor is short and flat by the knees. Sometime after attempting to sacrifice himself to the Xenomorphs, Shift covered himself up with a brown scavenger robe while trying to find Striker, in which he discards once he found him.

By the time the Stikbot rebels captured General Tirsonus, Shift opted for new armor in gunmetal gray. Aside from his arm armor reinforcing his wrists and his leg armor covering both sides of his legs, extra pieces of armor are equipped to Shift's neck and back. His glasses have also been switched out for a transparent blue visor with a rangefinder on the right and an earpiece on the left.

As of the one year time skip, Shift went back to his old gear, albeit with his armor plates now being smaller and in black. His glasses would also be enlarged for the Nightmare reboot, along with gaining a backpack while in the Creature Domain. This would be switched for new armor on his torso and back while in the Extinction Domain.

## Abilities

* Tech Specialty: As stated by General Tirsonus, Shift is imbued with higher thinking, demonstrated when he was able to patch up an old transport back into commission and develop weapons for himself and his allies.

## Weapons

* **Auto Turrets:** Sentry guns on tripods that feed on ammo belts and automatically fire upon finding enemies. Their fire rates can be controlled from single shots to full auto. The tripods can be folded up for handheld use, as demonstrated when Shift was mowing down Cybermen and Metalbots down a corridor with one.
* **Salvo Cannons:** A pair of battleship artillery batteries that are controlled by a mechanical apparatus. Shift used this against the Nightmare Realm's animatronics.
* **Selector Rifle:** A heavy cannon that can alternate between firing flash rounds or incendiary rounds. It was used by Shift in the Nightmare Realm until it was destroyed by Nightmare Bendy.
* **Wrist Tasers:** Small arm guns that fire balls of electricity. Shift found a pair as a replacement for his Selector Rifle while in the Nightmare Realm. It proved to not be very effective however, and Shift discarded them upon returning to the real world.
* **M41A Pulse Rifle:** A fully automatic assault rifle used by soldiers of the Grid. Shift presumably got one from Goldie's stolen military jeep to provide suppressing fire when he returned to the real world.
* **Electric Zapper:** Installed within Shift's new armor to shock people, with the voltage being able to change. Shift used it to force information out of General Tirsonus about his sister Jamie.
* **Dual-Barreled Minigun:** A heavy weapon used to fend off the Stikbot Monster invasion, with one notable case being against Cerberus.
* **Futuristic Crossbow:** A small device capable of firing various bolts, including explosive ones. It replaced Shift's arm armor by being equipped on his left arm when he returned to the Nightmare Realm, with its design being upgraded upon encountering Goblin Slayer.
* **Heavy Arm Cannons:** Two heavy weapons that fire blue lasers, each being unique in design. Shift replaced the Futuristic Crossbow with these when confronting the Generals of Extinction, with the left cannon being programmed to be able to fire faster than Joker's teleportation once he was weakened from having his real name revealed.
* **Portal Bomb:** An explosive that can reverse the direction of a portal opening. Shift made one with the help of Gnotts to bring Jamie and other Stikbots into the Nightmare Realm's Extinction Domain.

## Trivia

* It's possible that Shift was voiced by Moonshine Animations, the animator for Off the Grid, if one compares their voices.
* Shift's original armor plates are from the Xevoz Shadow Blade, while his armor in Season 6 is from Kotobukiya's MSG EX Armor Set in gun metal.
* Shift's Selector Rifle comes from the MSG kit of the same name, while his Wrist Tasers come from the MSG Multiple Gun kit.
* Shift's M41A comes from the NECA Alien USCM accessory pack. Helmets for the Grid Soldiers, Goldie's turrets, and Sinon's flamethrower can also be found here.
* The barrel for Shift's left heavy arm cannon seems to be a LEGO 1x1 Round Brick in neon green.
