Characters: Head Alien, Sensitive Scanner

Ahh, the Sensitive Scanner.
It’s a play on a bad Transformers fanfic. You see, there was a “sensitive scanner” and I thought, hey, what if I took that kind of literally and… I’ve told you this before, right? Sensitive Scanner has shown up already? I honestly can’t remember. Is this the first appearance? Well, either way, you get the idea.
Anyway, Sensitive Scanner’s last line is another Transformers reference. There’s this scene where Chromedome stomps off like an upset teenager, shouting that line.
We’re all Transformers in here.

And people are complaining that Windows 8 and 10 are not user-friendly.
“This Martian tech is AMAZING…lybadwhydidwecomehere”
…but Win8/10 were released after the advent of Martian technology, and the Sensitive Scanner. Could that mean Microsoft drew any influence or code from that technology? o_O
Whoa, you mean Chromedome did things before MTMTE? I mean, I knew he existed, I just figured he was a non-entity.
Weirdly, that sounds sort of like a line he would still use today.
Also, yay, Chromedome and Rewind toys this year!
he did in japan, where he was that year’s hotheaded main protagonist
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that existed. Man, Brainstorm was in that too. I may have to check it out even though I believe it to be terrible, it has some of my faves.
It’s not terrible, it’s just life-suckingly dull.
According to the character tags, this is in fact the first time Sensitive Scanner has shown up.
As a side note, metaphorical (or semi-metaphorical) phrases being used in a literal manner is one of my favorite types of gags.
And so the trifecta is complete. It’s honestly bizarre to me that the Sensitive Scanner takes to long to show up, in my mind, she’s always been a key part of the dynamic of this configuration of bad guys. At least Monkey Master has a memorable first appearance to keep me from making the same mistake.
I first heard of the Sensitive Scanner where it was referenced in Dumbing of Age, now I actually know what it is, yay!
I wonder if the Sensitive Scanner in Dexter and Monkey Master is sensitive in this sense, or very considerate and understanding of other beings feelings.
Oh shit I almost forgot about the sensitive scanner.
How could?!
Honestly, I’m more of a oscillator than a transformer
You’ve just got to believe. Find your inner spark. And then, you will be transformed.

(forgot that I should NOT put anything between the greater-than/less-than brackets…)
Deep down, aren’t we all just protoforms mixed with human DNA, waiting to be unlocked by the almighty Allspark Key?
The Sensitive Scanner was built by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, no doubt….
“You can blame the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation for making androids with GPP.”
“Um… what’s GPP?”
“Genuine People Personalities. I’m a personality prototype. You can tell, can’t you…?”
“So what are you supposed to do with a manically depressed robot?”
“You think you’ve got problems. What are you supposed to do if you ARE a manically depressed robot?”
Make boatloads of money licensing your likeness to plushie manufacturers?
