Description EDIT: Once before called Guzzle, then changed to Guzzler, I have decided to rename him entirely so as not to be so similar to an already canon Transformers Character. Thus, meet Barrel! Yet another OC I made in the TFA realm; he is, or well, will be SwiftStroke's partner.
More of that will be explained once I begin the comic/story of SwiftStroke.

In the meantime, let me give you guys some history.

Designation: 琵 琶 桶 (Otherwise known as Barrel in English)
Alt-mode: Chinese Oil Transport Truck
Age: Sparkling (only about a few years old)
Gender: Mech
Personality: Kind and curious, Barrel tries to learn as much as possible about the world around him, but his nervousness and wish not to bother others usually holds him back. He also doesn't speak that much, making him seem much older than he is. He likes music and energon goodies, and enjoys meeting new people (and hopefully befriending them as well). After having a few bad experiences with humans when he first onlined, he is wary of them and prefers to avoid them, though he is very curious about the ones the others call "techno-organics". As well, because of his young age and place of birth, he knows nothing about the war and has no weapons with which to fight. In fact, he knows little to nothing about Cybertron, and wouldn't know about the planet's existence at all if it weren't for SwiftStroke.
History: Barrel woke up in the mountains of China, shortly after he had been abandoned, his new spark still settling into its protoform. He was essentially left for dead and would have died not too long after if his confused wandering hadn't led him to a nearby road. Following his programming, he scanned a passing truck, and followed after its path. Unfortunately, he got scared really bad when he ran into a gaggle of humans and their cattle on the way. Transforming back to bi-pedal mode, he gave them quite a fright too, and Barrel jumped down the side of the mountain in order to get away. Dented from the fall, but still functioning, he transformed back to alt-mode, driving endlessly for days and nights. He never went too close to the cities, afraid that he would run into humans again, but when his energy levels began to drop, he had no choice but to head into one. He ended up in one of the Eastern cities, by the coast, driving onto a boat and taking a short stasis nap.
When he woke up next, he was across the ocean, in North America.
It was by chance that he came across Mixmaster and Scrapper, both who were currently building another project for Megatron (the tyrant escaped and had returned to Earth for revenge). They helped the sparkling, eager to get his oil, but Barrel thanked them anyways and considered them as his friends. Unfortunately (or not) the two had to leave for other work, and Barrel continued on. That's when he came to Detroit.
He was amazed and scared, of both the Decepticons and Autobots alike, and decided to stay away from them. He didn't quite understand why they were fighting and the violence terrified him. It was during one of his drives around the city that he came across SwiftStroke. At the time, Stroke was in control and Barrel was comforted by the kindness she showed. He was later confused when Swift took over, and would have run away from the other's hurtful words, if it wasn't for the fact that he was already greatly intrigued by the smaller 'bot.
A few days later, and Barrel had fallen in love with SwiftStroke.

I'm not reading all that...

but...

there's already an animated version of Guzzle...

I like the design, but the body doesn't really hold the basic Animated curvature, looks more like the Sunbow models.
