Caught up on @tmntober-2023 with today’s prompt: What a tragedy!
So of course, had to draw CBF. In this AU, it’s a robot who follows the gang around, specifically calling Ghost “Gregory,” but having no real attachment to anyone else in the group.
I never actually explained who CBF is in my AU, so I’ll do that now!
CBF is the robot’s nickname, but it was once a man named Charlie Benjamin Foster, a guardian of the Utrom and the father of Johnny (Ghost), Sam, and Julie Ghost. He was also a member of the Ninja Tribunal’s highest acolytes, before he decided to join the Utrom. The Tribunal left him to die.
The cause of his death? Shredder.
The Utrom felt bad for him, so they transferred his consciousness into the robot CBF. However, he was eventually “abandoned” on an unknown planet when the Kraang came in and tried to destroy him. He was badly damaged, and had no memory outside of his nickname of CBF.
Fast forward several years, and Ghost runs in to CBF when the team is accidentally transported to a different planet. Since the Ghost kids were young when he died (Ghost was almost 3 and the twins weren’t even born yet), they have no memory of him either.
CBF eventually does give his life for his children after he eventually regains his memories, but it is sad that he never truly got to spend time with them as their father or tell their mother how sorry he is that he died so young and left her to raise 3 children on her own.
Also: CBF calls Ghost “Gregory” because that’s actually Ghost’s middle name. If he had been a cisgender male, he would have the name Gregory because his dad really liked that name. It’s one of the only things CBF remembers about his life before being a rusty old robot.

Friday, September 22, 2017 - Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario: 2016 Honda CBF500 One year ago today I rolled this guy out of Sturgess Cycle. As in literally, rolled out of the store: There was a flash torrential downpour happening outside so we started the bike on the show room floor and they held the doors open, someone stood and watched for a break in traffic and flagged me to roll out. My first "naked" - I love sport bikes, and I had never considered this style option, but I'm having a grand time. A few modifications for comfort - heated grips, Barkbusters, the Puig windscreen. Reflector rim tape to help nighttime visibility. I've ridden it to Ottawa, around Lake Erie, another trip to Cleveland, and my major Maritimes adventure, also documented briefly here. My work commute is about 24km one way. Brings the grand total to just over 32,100 km on the one year birthday. Big shout out to the staff at Sturgess Cycle Hamilton, since 1910, http://www.sturgessonline.com/ These folks go the extra mile to keep me on the road and I can not give them enough thanks. People razz me for going "all that way" for a shop but they're worth it. Photos of a lookout onto Lake Ontario. On a clear day you can see downtown Toronto, but it's been hazy all week. Bonus picture from Niagara Falls, behind the trees. When you live 30 minutes from one of the biggest tourist traps in the province, you easily forget how awe inspiring it actually is. Take a minute to appreciate your own local landmarks!
