okay so like. lab rats: bionic island is not real, season 4 is the worst one, it's very disorganized, etc etc yes BUT. i think the angst potential of the bionic soldiers was very interesting and so under-explored.

bc like. what the hell happened with all these kids? krane basically just kidnapped them, wiped their memories, and implanted them with bionics, right? and then controlled all of them with the triton app. that's just crazy to me. bc it's like. none of these kids are like adam, bree, and chase at all when it comes down to it. they had actual families. they were not MADE to be bionic. there's a line that i keep thinking about from bob that's like "i keep asking them where they grew up, but they all just say, 'i don't know, i don't remember'!". that's so sad to me. they had families and lives that they just may never find their way back to.

and this all makes it even more depressing that they consider krane their father in bionic rebellion (sebastian especially). these are just random fucking kids. who maybe just got unlucky and were randomly picked by krane to be part of his army, or maybe were chosen for some particular reason (which is honestly kind of worse bc if any of them realized there was actually a reason, that just makes it feel more like it was somehow their fault even though it wasn't). but in the end none of these kids are related to each other, at all. they consider themselves to kind of be one big group of siblings now, but that's only because they were all put through the same trauma. and also. if they were chosen by krane for a reason. then what the fuck happened with characters like spin? or bob? they're both so young. why would krane have picked them? it gets more disturbing the more you think about it. they also are all probably not going by the names their parents gave them either. because they all got renamed to designations (S1, S2) and then renamed again when krane stopped controlling them.

and finally on the note of them not being made to be bionic the way adam, bree, and chase were: that is its own angst potential. i think the showrunners kind of forgot that they established that about the chips, that adam bree and chase can't even switch chips for a day without messing things up because they aren't built to handle each others chips. if that's really the case, then some random teenagers probably also can't handle being implanted with bionic chips? they should all be experiencing a lot more difficulties due to that. it would be fun for the difference between all of them and abc to be highlighted in a way that is not just "abc are old models" anyway. because given the actual lore of the show, no, they're probably NOT old, they're the only ones whose chips WORK PROPERLY ALL THE TIME. krane got his technology from douglas. he doesn't know how to do bionics himself, and he would not be able to make it work correctly with kids he pulled off the streets once douglas left. there's just no way.

okay thanks bionic soldiers rant over.

Could you draw Daniel and Bob? :)

Premarital hand holding?!

Ngl I often wonder about both bob and spin, wtf did they do??? Like what was their job? Surely they did something in order to be found by the rats because there’s no way they raided all of Kranes labs. Plus do they seriously just have kids walking around with the knowledge of how to kill someone’s?

yeah i mean the whole bionic army requires some serious suspension of disbelief. i'm pretty sure Sebastian had a homing beacon he used to call the army to him tho, which is how they found everyone. ig it's possible that some soldiers didn't/couldn't answer to it, like Taylor.

really the most unrealistic part of lr is the idea that the USA gov. would allow a bunch of kids/teens to walk around w incredibly advanced deadly weapons.

they were probably the last the last two s-numbers to be made which is why they're not as force grown as the others. Also no soldiers had any consciousness besides krane's orders until they were set free. Meaning they didn't know they were kids. So probably not in direct combat because I can't imagine them with their more mediocre (respectfully) skills being good enough to fight ABC but they definitely could have had roles to play

Also as for them being found the soldiers had a mental link that summoned everyone to Davenport’s house if I remember correctly lol

[chasesvillainera]

Sebastian and Marcus are on basically the same level of evil and I’ll prove it.

Bad Dads: Douglas my absolute beloved but he wasn’t great to Marcus, and with the timeline we get the only thing that makes sense is that Krane also had a hand in raising him. Marcus chose to be evil but the way he grew up left him no other option.

And of course, Sebastian had Krane and he was mind controlled probably most of his life.

In conclusion: Fuck Krane (no Douglas not like that)

Relationship with the Rats: Marcus sought them out specifically for the purpose of capturing them, it worked like a charm because they really wanted friends. We didn’t see much of it but he integrated himself enough to become their bestie. It was a plan from start to finish. (Side note: In Concert in a Can when he meets Donald for the first time and is like “omg you’re Donald Davenport!!” I like to imagine that Douglas told him “yea just stroke his ego a little. He’ll be putty in your hands)

The first time Sebastian meets the gang (we’re ignoring Secret Soldiers for this purpose because actions under mind control don’t count) he’s bonded with Adam like a baby duck, trying to find a home for his siblings. When they’re at the academy he’s super into the learning and wants to go on missions! Then he learns about Krane, and when he stages his rebellion he manipulates Chase into helping the same way Marcus did, just with less planning.

Crimes Begin: Marcus tried to murder Leo many times before the first Showdown to get him out of the way—the self-driving car, the robot in the lair, and then many times in Showdown. Leo’s only alive because he’s extraordinary clever, and because they weren’t gonna kill the protagonist on a Disney show.

Sebastian tried to kill Donald as a method of revenge—“a father for a father” type thing.

Crimes Continue: In Showdown, the goal was to abduct Adam, Bree, and Chase and make them bionic soldiers. Marcus then tried to shove Chase into a giant meat grinder (which we don’t talk about enough wtf) and tried to kill Leo again. Basically, doing what his dad had trained him to do for as long as he’s been alive. It’s bad but he doesn’t know how to be good.

I honestly don’t know what the goal of Rebellion was, but I’ll take the worst interpretation and say Seb wanted to kill the Rats + Donald and break everyone off the island. Not great but there’s very likely some residual brainwashing lingering there. I’m thinking about that scene in Screaming Skull where Adam tells Bob “oh right, you’re a blank slate cause of Krane’s mind control” when he doesn’t know what Halloween is. It’s possible the soldiers have been under his control most of their lives, and I can’t imagine what that kind of constant exposure to the Triton app would do to their brains. Anyway, in his head, Davenport wiped out his father and then took him and his siblings and made them into his soldiers. Which is basically Bionic Showdown from the Rats’ perspective. Again, not good, but can see how he got there.

Ending: Marcus got crushed by the rubble, then brought back, then killed again, then killed again. No that’s not a typo it happened twice.

Sebastian went to prison, and based on what we learned about the virus in One of Us it’s possible he blew up.

Neither of them got vindicated by the show.

Anyway I don’t know what the point of this is but I wanted to share it.

(PS: They’re both gay)

Seb for the character ask game!

@chasesvillainera

WHY?! 😭

Sebastian Krane

Sexuality: Bisexual/Trans (ftm)

Gender: non binary

Ship: Sebase

Brotp: (platonically) him x Spin x Bob

Notp: Sebase (bc of the toxicity yk?)

Random headcanon: he gets his redemption arc

General opinion: I hate him but not as much as I hate the other villains in Lab Rats. He was pretty likable like Marcus. I also don't blame him, either. He was just a kid. I wouldn't say I'd do the exact same thing as starting a villainous rebellion against the Rats, but.... 🤪

[leo-dooley-lab-rats]

Controversial Opinion: I like season four of Lab Rats. I just like seeing Leo going on missions. The season overall feels unfocused and doesn’t have a clear plot like season two with Marcus and season three with Krane. The fourth season just doesn’t have a focus. Like Giselle shows up in the two-parter “Bionic Action Hero” and gets Marcus. Giselle isn’t seen until finale which is a lot later. Then in the “Space Colony” two parter, Krane comes back and gets killed off again. I still ask the question, why was Krane brought back again? His ending in season three was fine and worked. The season often plotless in places.

The season isn’t character focused. Granted the specials did try and focus on one member of the main cast. “Bionic Action Hero” was Bree focused. “Space Colony” was Adam focused. “On the Edge” was Leo focused. Still, didn’t feel like character centered season. Plus, students aren’t really developed outside of Spin, Bob, and Taylor. That is also the whole Daniel thing(I actually like Daniel despite being a can of worms). I think everyone in the Lab Rats fandom could talk for days about the mess that is Daniel.

I just like seeing Leo in the field despite Leo getting short end of stick a lot for time. There is something satisfying after watching Leo work his way from little brother to mission specialist to working in the field along side his family. Plus, the moment when Leo become a mentor is just so great! Leo finally gets some recognition from his family and those around him. “On the Edge” special is mess, but it has some really great Leo moments. Season four has a lot of Leo just talking to people and showing some humanity to them. Overall, season four is a mess but I enjoy the mess overall.

[eatmarcus]

the fuck are my students doing bro

[neurodivenport]

Every time I watch one of the Academy episodes and laugh at Bob and Adam’s antics, I then immediately remember that Bob was one of Krane’s soldiers.

That gives me so many questions

@chasesvillainera

bob can throw shit like CRAZY so its no wonder but also. is he also airheaded under krane's control? or is he smartened-up

[nyoaeuikhoudu]

Would you perhaps consider drawing Spin and/or Bob? I completely understand if not.

here's the silly little boys! We love Spin and Bob in this household.
