Cartoon Network: Crossover Chaos! #6
T-Bone

From: "Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron"
First Appearance: "The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice", September 11th 1993

Bio: Chance 'T-Bone' Furlong is the hotshot pilot of the Turbokat (a fighter jet of his and his partner Razor's own design), and, by his own testimony, a renegade who fights crime and gets all the ladies. He is one half of the Swat Kats, a pair of vigilantes who defend Megakat City against the forces of evil, whilst trying to stay one step ahead of Commander Feral, the leader of the Enforcers who wants to see the Swat Kats arrested!

On a routine joyride through Megakat City, T-Bone and Razor came across an unusual sight....a dimensional rift has opened in their city, and an army of demons were pouring out!

T-Bone: "Heh. Looks like Dark Kat's up to his old trick again, eh, Razor? Lock on and take 'em on, buddy!"
Razor: "Whoa! Hold on a sec, Chance! Look down there! Do you see that?!"

A flash of green streaked across the army, battering demons left and right. It was....a little girl with a hammer?

T-Bone: "Man. There's something you don't see everyday."
Razor: "Uh-oh. There's more coming!"

Just then, a huge onslaught of demons came out, and dogpiled the young hero!

T-Bone: "No! We've got to do something!"
Razor: "Yeah, but what? We can't fire any of the Turbokat's weapons without hitting that girl!"
T-Bone: "Then there's only one thing to do."

Without a second thought, T-Bone flicked a couple of switches and ejected from the Turbokat!

Razor: T-Bone, are you crazy?
T-Bone: Got to get her to safety! Once I clear her out of there, you give me some aerial backup!"

Flexing his bicep and rolling his arm, T-Bone looked at the demons with a gleam in his eye.

"Hey! Want to pick a fight? Why don't you try me on for size?"

- "Hope you're ready to fly the friendly skies, courtesy air T-Bone."
- "Uh-uh. You ain't ready for this."
- "Bleh. Dark Kat you ain't." (Against Grim)
- "Are you kidding me?" (Against Johnny Bravo)
- "If I win, you hook me up with some of those shiny toys for the Turbokat. Deal?" (Against Dexter)

- "Later."
- "So, what was that crack about me belonging to a petting zoo, now?"
- "Ready for pickup, Razor, buddy. This guy's done." (Against male opponents)
- "They don't call us the 'Radical Squadron' for nothing."

Victory Screen:

- "Keep that support steady, Razor! And don't you dare scuff it!"
- "Another mission, well done!"
- "Holy Kats, what a workout! You really had me goin' there."
- "Right. I'll just wait here until either you get down, or Razor gets the squeegee and scrapes you off."
- "Hey, I'm just like the Kat Kommandos over here!"
- "Man, a shame Callie isn't here to see all this. Oh well."
- "Don't assume that just because I'm a bit of a brawler that I don't know my way around a socket wrench. I've built model airplanes bigger than you!" (Against Dexter)
- "You should come work with us in the junkyard sometime. It's one thing to look good, but it's another to actually put those muscles to good use!" (Against Johnny Bravo)


FOOTNOTES:

- I might produce some alternate art for this piece. I happened across some promotional art of T-Bone holding a missile, and I thought that was awesome and could be worked into his moveset. Too bad I had already colored this.
- T-Bone would fit into the grappler style of combat. He has a lot of grabs, moves that stun, and some assistance from Razor in the Turbokat as well, which makes him pretty well rounded, albeit a tad bit slow. He'd be somewhat like Alex from Street Fighter III/Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.


And the winner of the contest is:
