— Animatic, Seeds For Suckers
|
Animatic is the host of Animatic Battle. He originally had a show which was the original Animatic Battle, but due to its cancellation he came and started a new Animatic Battle to host a gameshow with the Object Fool contestants and debuters.
Appearance
Animatic, in his standard form, is a poorly drawn white circle with long black object limbs. According to Greeny himself, he is made out of "whatever people use to make animatics". Animatic has a blue crosshair spanning across his face, a sketching method used by numerous artists when positioning character faces. He is usually drawn with red surrounding arrows to correlate with quick turning movements.
Changes
Animatic Battle (Original Intro)
- Animatic is a circular white colored doodle with a black outline and shorter than current form
"So Offended" - Onwards
- Animatic is way more crudely drawn in appearance in comparison to his beta form. He now has lines on his face that resembles that of a cross hair. And has arrows that resemble pose to pose animation for movement.
- He has the ability to shape shift into various forms, being an extremely malevolent being. Like corrupting himself and turning more sketchy among other unique attributes.
Personality
Animatic is, to say the last, a very unstable character, having little consideration for what the effect their abilities have. According to GagOfGreen, he cannot comprehend the difference between what is good and what is bad. At a surface level, Animatic has a "jolly," charismatic demeanor, but underneath it, he seemingly does whatever he desires, regardless of the consequences of his actions on his contestants. He behaves very erratically, and can quickly get bored or annoyed when contestants attempt to converse with him. He also shows no hesitation in scaring, harming or even murdering the contestants, whether it be for annoying him or simply for his own pleasure. He has even gone as far as to make a challenge centered around killing the contestants in brutal and terrifying ways, seen in Caffeination Day.
Animatic thinks very highly of himself. He is not afraid to intimidate others who dare question his choices or intentions. At the best of times, he will graciously dismiss a contestant with an insult. Usually, though, he will remind the contestants how powerful he is by showing off his reality bending abilities or scaring them by transforming into a demonic entity. Contestants unfortunate enough to anger Animatic will face a painful, horrific and scary death. Animatic also seems to be someone who strives for fame, as seen in Object Fool when he would hint at coming back to get his fame, and even gets rid of Eucerin to take control after season one.
In Caffeination Day, it is revealed that Animatic loses all sense of self-control while under the effects of caffeine. He goes on a murderous rampage that lasts for over five hours, killing dozens of contestants in the process. While under the influence, he starts the second challenge of the season, being to try to survive his murderous attempts. However, despite the fact that Animatic regains his consciousness in the middle of the challenge due to the caffeine wearing off, he continues hosting the challenge anyway, implying that he enjoys killing the contestants, or at least feels obligated to do so.
Animatic also despises liars and cheaters. In M is For Magic, he emphasizes his hatred of liars, and in Seeds For Suckers, he punishes DIET by banishing them to a blizzard-ridden snowfield, after finding out they hid their M from Animatic rather than destroying it.
It's possible that before the events of Object Fool, and even before TIAOS, Animatic was approximately as jolly as he is now. He appears more calm and sane (which he was), but all of it faded away once his contestants began leaving him, turning him insane from the sheer loneliness. It's possible that Animatic was terrified of the changes to his body and mind before he accepted living the way he is now.
Coverage
Animatic first appears right after Cane's Cup removes the screwdriver from Demon Core's body, disabling Demon Core as he happily wonders around the screen before starting the intro of Animatic Battle
Backstory
Animatic used to be an ordinary circle with limbs and face that hosted a show which was also called Animatic Battle, as seen in this video GreenyGuyFunny posted a while ago. However, not much was shown regarding this show or Animatic until Object Fool 7-9.
Object Fool
In Sucker For Seeds, Shifty enters the door that Animatic was trapped in and shortly after, a massive roar can be heard, whilst the door slowly opens with Animatic saying the following:
"they thought they could block me OUT."
I will get my FAME!"
In So Offended, most of Animatic's story is shown through a bunch of flickering images during the voting screen. (You can find these in the gallery for animatic!) It is revealed that Animatic's contestants left him/died which lead him to become insane, growing longer limbs and getting a grey crosshair on his face with blue circular eyes (The crosshair turned into the iconic blue color later on). 2 other things are revealed, those being that Animatic tried to escape through Don't, and pictures of what Shifty saw past the door, that being Animatic waving excitedly similarly to M Is For Magic.
In Negative Nancy, when Eucerin leaves, an image flashes of Animatic holding Eucerin saying "I WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE FOREVER". In the end credits, GagOfGreen claims he doesn't plan to do anything with the characters again, until Animatic takes over and edits some of the text to say the opposite, saying "you will see ME again.", ending Object Fool .
