YES, you got it! The Seventies was EXACTLY what I had in mind when I first depicted him over here!
He is Timmy Senior from the perspective of Bettina and her brother, but his father in turn (and thus their grandfather) was the company founder. Because of this, he usually gets referred to as Timmy II.
Thinking about Grandpa Timmy, I was kind of wondering when he founded the company. Sometime after 1948, when he came to America thanks to some friends in the US Army?
Incidentally, I will actually shed some light on this over in Cryptida. (In one week from now, as of writing this.)
He already was in the US during the Prohibition era, and founded his first toy workshop shortly thereafter.
That he was a first generation immigrant is possible though, but he would have been still quite young when he arrived on US shores.
Well shit, looks like Timmy's Toyco is about to turn into a crater unless someone else can non-destructively pacify the toy army.
Why does my intuition tell me that Augustus may have genuinely been Maerc's ally through this, and his scheme was all a trick to weaken Toyco for the takeover?
Well, damn. It appears that the fecal matter is about to collide with the rotary cooling device.
But why am I near-giddy about the thought of Bravo Mike vs. Robot Soldiers? And I have to wonder what sort of damage Ellen's electro-knucks can do to internal circuitry...
