Technical Manual & Origin Story: Model TS-05 "Flash"
The Origin: The Flashbulb Photographer
Originally built in the late 1940s to assist in a high-speed electrical lab, Flash was designed to monitor voltage spikes in fuse boxes. Somewhere along the line, he developed an obsession with light and integrated an old camera flash into his chassis so he would never be left in the dark. He’s a bit of a show-off and loves being the center of attention on any shelf he occupies.
