Caboose, and I hate babies! Overview [ ] Caboose is portrayed as one of the most eccentric characters in the series. Trivia [ ] "Caboose" is the last wagon of a train, highlighting how the character's train of thought is always late. His full name is a reference to actor Michael J. Fox, and may also be a reference to Burnie Burns ' given name, "Michael J.
Beginning with Red vs. Because of this, Felix and Locus teleport away, vowing that they will return. After Epsilon processes the manifest, the crew learn the true identity of Control: Chairman Malcom Hargrove. A month later, Caboose is put on a mission alongside Dr. Grey , Tucker , and Sarge to investigate an alien temple. After Tucker accidentally activates it with his sword, the reaction destroys all of Charon's weaponry.
The team relay the event to the others at Armonia and devise a plan to attack the pirates while they're down. Kimball agrees to lead Wash, the Reds , and Chorus armies on an assault on Crash Site Alpha , while Carolina , Grey, and the Blues follow map coordinates the tower emitted. Upon arriving at their destination , Carolina, Grey, and the Blues find an energy portal and learn that only a true warrior of mental clarity and great strength can be accepted through.
After Tucker and Carolina fail to meet these instructions Caboose is sent through the portal and manages to pass the test, befriending an alien A. Santa informs them of the Temple of Communication, which will allow them contact with Earth without the disruption of the radio jammers. He also mentions the planet's Purge and the location of a key that can activate it.
Just then, the group is ambushed by Sharkface and his band of space pirates, forcing Carolina to protect everyone under her bubble shield. After Sharkface leaves to get the key, Grey has Freckles kill the remaining pirates.
Caboose and Grey watch as Doc beats up Tucker. The group then learn that Doyle flew to the east mountains and obtained the key himself, prompting them to go after him. Upon arriving at the mountains, the group encounter Sharkface, who persuades Carolina into chasing him. When Caboose, Tucker, and Grey are attacked by pirates, they take cover inside a cave and unexpectedly find Doc inside.
After Caboose explains their relationship with Doc to Grey, the four are spotted by the space pirates. However, after Doyle loses the key to Felix , the team return to Armonia along with the assault team. After witnessing an argument between Kimball and Doyle , the Reds and Blues ask Doc to help them hold a counseling session for the generals, in order to improve their relationship.
Initially, there is little cooperation and mostly arguing, however, Doyle ends up complimenting Kimball and expressing a desire to work together, much to the crew's surprise and relief.
Unfortunately, the session is abruptly cut off when the Space Pirates attack the city. In order to survive the assault, Epsilon suggests eradicating the pirates by overloading the nuclear reactor in the center of the city, with Wash , Carolina , and Kimball being sent to overload it. Meanwhile, Doyle and the other Reds and Blues head towards the Armory to escape on a Pelican , but quickly discover that Lopez is stuck inside the ship.
After Simmons releases him, Doyle decides to remain in Armonia and incites the Pirates into chasing him, allowing the crew to escape on the Pelican.
After dropping the Blues off in a safe area, the Reds return to the city and pick up Wash, Kimball, Epsilon , and Carolina. Doyle, however, ignites the city's reactor in an act of self sacrifice, killing a majority of the space pirates and destroying the city. The crew then regroup at Crash Site Bravo with the armies, who mourn over the loss of Doyle.
As the crew formulate a counterattack plan to stop Felix and Locus, Kimball delivers a speech to the Chorus armies that motivates them to fight as one. After the crew attain alien artillery from the Temple of Arms , they assist the Feds and Rebels in attacking the pirates at the Communication Temple. Carolina and Wash , after having destroyed the Purge , soon regroup with them, just as the pirates release several Mantis droids.
Caboose with the Reds and Blues, after defeating Felix. While the Freelancers and Chorus armies fight the robots outside, the crew enter the temple's control room and encounter Felix and Locus , where Felix nearly kills Caboose. Luckily, the latter is rescued when Freckles fires confetti and knocks Felix down.
Suddenly Locus betrays Felix and assists the crew in killing him. After obtaining his former partner's sword, Locus activates the Temple for the crew and disappears, allowing them to broadcast their message. The message transmits to numerous comm devices across the galaxy, revealing Hargrove's crimes.
Because of this, Hargrove himself flies the Staff of Charon to Chorus and releases numerous Mantis droids around the temple to kill the remaining inhabitants. As a result, the Reds and Blues infiltrate the ship in order to shut down the robots and manage to succeed with F. Unfortunately, they end up trapped inside Hargrove's trophy room when his forces attack them. As Hargrove's forces breach their way into the room, the crew prepare themselves for the impending attack, with Caboose arming himself with Freckles.
However, what the crew don't know is that Epsilon deconstructs himself from his memories of the other fragments in order to help them, though the action kills him. Dylan Andrews finds Caboose. Following the end of the Chorus-Charon War, the Reds and Blues go into exile to live a quiet life on a remote moon but fail miserably, resorting to undergo random shenanigans. They explain that a group of terrorists are posing as them and that several Freelancers have gone missing since the end of the war on Chorus.
Dylan then reveals a distress message of Church, given to her by Kimball , prompting the crew into action. The Reds and Blues, bar Grif , venture to find the source of the message with the reporters while the Freelancers search for their missing comrades. Caboose plays dead to hide from Spencer. Arriving at an abandoned city , the crew finds another strange relay.
As Dylan tries to decipher its source, Caboose and Simmons discuss their views on death, with Caboose believing that Church will return like he always does due to his care for him.
After Dylan traces the relay's signal to the planet Armada 8 , the group fly to the location and discover a canyon looking strikingly similar to Blood Gulch. There, Caboose confronts a soldier who looks and sounds exactly like him, until the entire crew meets their "imposters": the Blues and Reds.
Suddenly, UNSC aircraft spot and attack both groups but the sim troopers manage to fight them off. They all then take refuge in an underwater base where the Reds and Blues find Doc working with their counterparts.
After gathering supplies for Loco 's machine, whom Caboose grows fond of, the teams regroup with Wash and Carolina and return to base, where Loco continues work on the Blues and Reds ' " cloaking device ". As Caboose tells Loco about his adventures, leading up to Epsilon 's death, Loco reveals that he is building a "special door" that may allow him to see Church again, though Caboose struggles to understand. Soon after, the crew questions the whereabouts of the reporters and Freelancers, who have been absent for some time.
Upon confronting the Blues and Reds about it, the crew realizes their sinister motives and demand for their friends. Unfortunately, Doc and Sarge side with the Blues and Reds, who proceed to capture the remaining crew members, consisting of Caboose, Tucker , Simmons , Donut , and Lopez. However, they launch Lopez's head into space in hopes that he'll find help. Caboose, along with Simmons and Tucker, is thrown into prison by the Blues and Reds.
This results in Grif getting imprisoned with them after failing an attempt at a rescue. Temple then reveals that Church's "distress" message was actually an edited recording of Church calling Command at Blood Gulch and proceeds to explain to Caboose that Church is dead forever, greatly saddening Caboose.
After the Blues and Reds leave for Earth, Sarge and Locus free the crew and reunite them with their missing friends. Wanting to pursue the Blues and Reds, Tucker forces the crew into a firefight with enemy Zealots , resulting in Wash getting injured. Caboose flies into a rage over his friend being hurt and brutally murders the remaining Zealots along with Sarge, and Locus flies Wash to a hospital.
They don't even know what's happening. You can't even see me right now, Tucker. After eliminating several enemy sim troopers, the crew infiltrates the Blues and Reds' lair, where Loco activates his machine. Caboose is almost killed after finding a penny but is saved by Carolina. Upon confronting Temple, the latter locks the crew in their armor, bar Caboose due to his helmet.
Temple tries to retaliate but accidentally shoots Loco until Tucker incapacitates him. Loco tells Caboose that he successfully built the "door", allowing him to say goodbye to Church, before dying. The door is revealed to be a time portal to the past formed by Loco's machine, with Church on the other side.
Caboose approaches Church but does not pull him through. Instead, Caboose expresses his feelings for Church for being his friend and accepts his death, stating that he will miss Church but he and everyone else will be okay. After Caboose's goodbye, Dylan has Vic stabilize the machine before it completely disappears. The crew then regroup outside and reunite with Sister and the Chorus lieutenants, who inform them that Wash is alive and recovering. Following the rescue of Earth , the Reds and Blues agree to go out for pizza but discover that Donut is missing and send Caboose to find him.
Caboose finds Donut inside the Power Facility being horribly disjointed from time and later disappearing. On the way, Donut returns to the crew, having acquired time travel abilities, and informs them of "God's" plan. Caboose escapes with Lopez to the planet of Reach in the year Caboose asking Coffee Man for two cups of coffee.
Caboose's misinterpretation of Donut's message leads him and Lopez on a journey across various time periods, where Caboose causes several time-altering events, such as starting the First World War, causing the death of the Coffee Man , the plagues which would wipe out the Mayans, showing monkeys how to use bones as tools, and helping co-found an online company.
Caboose and Lopez eventually return to the present and reunite with Sarge, Simmons, Carolina, Wash, and Jax, who realize just what Caboose has done.
Atlus explains the story behind Chrovos, who had created the Cosmic Powers, who are revealed to be a group of A. I created to pose as gods by Simmons. Atlus reveals that Donut had been chosen by Chrovos in a planned move in order to accomplish Chrovos' goal. The Reds and Blues remark that this is likely because of Donut's stupidity. The Cosmic Powers, due to the fact that they can't directly harm Chrovos themselves, request that the Reds and Blues assist them to destroy Chrovos. Atlus then takes away the swords, promising to return them once they destroy Chrovos, but leaving Caboose's Golf Club alone as Atlus found it funny.
The Reds and Blues are transported to a seperate location, where Washington motivates the Reds and Blues to do the right thing and eliminate Chrovos. Carolina reveals Washington's brain injury, to which Washington walks away in rage. Tucker considers saving Washington from his injury at Temple's base, a decision that Carolina supports. The Reds and Blues save Washington from the bullet that shot him, causing a paradox that shattered time.
Caboose seems to act very childish as his understanding of the world and actions are incorrect and shows a great amount of curiosity. However, Caboose does show a lot of care to many characters, even to the Reds, despite them being rivals. He often tries to impress others in order to gain their respect, although it often backfires in some way.
Caboose shows a great amount of loyalty as well, as shown when he kept trying to resurrect Church through Epsilon. Because of his mentality, Caboose easily becomes hurt if insulted, such as in Change of Plans , and is easily abused, such as when he was tricked to shake the Alien's "other arm". Overall, Caboose may act like a child, but is very loyal and brave when the situation calls for it. He's also incessantly cheerful; always expressing enthusiasm and adopting an optimistic mentality on missions and in the face of danger.
Upon passing through the Construct portal, Santa describes him as never having a negative attitude. He does show that when he feels lonely he can become highly obsessive and secretive; such as the events in Relocation and his discovery of Freckles.
When asked how Caboose's character was developed, Joel Heyman stated that Caboose is the only character who knows he's in a video game.
He also stated that the character's voice is similar to how a human speaks to a dog or cat, "only everything to him is an animal", leading to an eternal childish speech. Caboose's relationships with the other characters is unique in that a few episodes depicted the interior of his mind, where the incorrect mental projections of the other characters appeared with the exceptions of Tex, Lopez , Doc and Sheila.
Rooster Teeth notes that originally, there was no plan for Caboose as a character; he started out simply as the Blue rookie counter to Donut. Geoff Ramsey states on the DVD Commentary that Caboose was initially "smarmy" and "a very different character", albeit rather dim-witted. In Season 1, Caboose was dim-witted and less eccentric than he was in later seasons, where he then later showed near detachment from reality.
In the course of the series, he has been repeatedly subjected to mental trauma and physical brain damage, which is visible in the downward spiral of his behavior.
Because of his intelligence and unusual behavior, he acts very childish: treating serious situations like a game, envious for not being favored at some points, and having illogical reasons for his actions, which frequently earns him the scorn and disrespect of the series' other characters.
Despite this, many characters show care for him, including the Reds, who he treats as neighbors instead of enemies. Caboose always tries to impress Church and help him as well, stating that they are best friends, despite the fact Church is constantly annoyed by him. Partially due to positive early fan reaction, Burnie Burns, the main writer for the series, focused the storyline on Caboose and Donut Dan Godwin , the Red Team's rookie.
The staff later made Caboose less intelligent to add more humor in series. Later on Caboose, arguably, became the most iconic character of Red vs. Caboose first appears in Episode 3. Arriving with a tank named Sheila, he soon annoys the Blue Team's self-appointed leader, Church by accidentally calling his girlfriend a slut, and is consequently tasked with guarding the flaginside the team's base and waiting for a nonexistent general. Meanwhile, Simmonsand Grif have sent their team's rookie, Donut, on a fool's errand for nonexistent supplies.
In a mutual misunderstanding, Donut mistakes Caboose for a shopkeeper, and Caboose mistakes Donut for the "general" and allows him to take the flag. When Church and Tucker learn of this they try to get the flag back via teleporter. However, they end up getting attacked by Grif and Simmons in the warthog. Seeing his teammates in trouble, Caboose gets into the tank who introduces herself as Sheila. Caboose accidentally kills Church while using Sheila and narrowly escapes a bombing run that disables the tank.
That is why clocks are round. Yeah, I hope this time I get a purple lung. You see, eventually I hope to build an entire purple person. And we will be best friends. Accidental Hero : He shoots South Dakota in the back after Church informs him that she needs their help, which Caboose interprets in his usual way. Acquainted with Emergency Services : Due to Caboose's track-record for managing to accidentally kill his own teammates , Freelance Command had managed to create a Keyboard Shortcut to better report them on their computers whenever Caboose manages to kill another simulation trooper in the same fashion.
Red Zealot: Gods be damned, it's the Beast! Caboose: I will eat your unhappiness! Caboose: Your toast has been burned! And no amount of scraping will remove the black parts! AND I Caboose: Put. His body. Washington: But you don't look like Freelancers. Or Recovery Agents! They can't see inside of a tank! Washington: stunned Is Sarge: irritated If he is, I just prefer not to know.
Caboose: Fire in the hole. Made of Iron : Caboose seriously rivals Donut in terms of being Nigh-Invulnerable by the standards of this series.
