Edward: *Deep breath* Hey Bruno, other than having a fun name what do you make buddy?
Bruno: I answer the phrase, Truck around and find out with a lot of military trucks.
Edward: OH, my gosh.
Bruno: I made a truck that can transport tanks because you really don't wanna get their millage up, terrible for the resale value. I also made a truck that can throw around transport containers like a like a toddler and it's great for logistics. I also made this MATV which is a mine resistant ambush proof vehicle and it hits mines like you hit pot holes. And then I made the sports version of the humvee.
Edward: What else can you put on the racing version of the humvee?
Bruno: Depends on what ya wanna get rid of! The fifty cal is good for getting rid of people, the anti tank is good for getting rid of tanks, and the automatic grenade launchers are good for getting rid of ANYTHING
Edward: What have you made recently?
Bruno: I bought Pratt Miller which includes Corvette racing, they still won't let me race my trucks and run over the other drivers, dumb. However I also bought jbt aerotech so I can now make plans if I want to. Arguably, THE MOST MINE RESISTANT VIECHLE.
Edward: I now fear you and I worry Rosie will be worse
Edward:
Edward: Toby, Toby. I need help.
Toby: What? What's going on?
Edward: Whiff, Bruno, Rosie and the others are talking about building military weapons. They're becoming more and more powerful and I can't control them...
Bruno is one the last of the Southern Pacific AC-12 Cab Foward locomotives, built in March of 1944 as number 4294, making him the youngest of the AC-12s. He worked on Donner Pass & Cascade Summit line until he was withdrawn in 1956. But instead of going to be scrapped, he was purchased by the NWR, who were looking for a new locomotive to haul mixed traffic work since Sam was being repaired following an accident. He was moved to the east coast and loaded onto a ship, and was sent away to the island of sodor. Once arriving on his new railway, he was modified with new bufferbeams and requested he would be given a livery based on the Sodor Line Cabooses, since he liked how unique there livery was compared to the ones he’d seen in America. Bruno has a hard time trying to fit in at sodor, mostly due to culture shock, but after awhile, he gotten used to it. He was given the number 43 in 2019, and still runs goods and passenger trains on the mainline as of 2023. He’s also good friends with fellow autistic engines, bobtail and duck. As terms of personality, he’s pretty much the same as his AEG counterpart, but he also gets grumpy sometimes as well, and he doesn’t have ADHD like bobtail. And he did sorta like his portrayal in AEG, but wishes he could have been a locomotive in the show and not a caboose.
And if your curious the Sodor Line Cabooses in my AU all wear a red livery with black roofs and wheels, white lining and yellow bufferbeams.
