Army unit during the first day of the siege of Sadr City ( Arabic: مدينة الصدر, romanized: Madīna 'ṣ-Ṣadr) in 2004. It is based on the 2007 book The Long Road Home: A Story of War and Family by Martha Raddatz, which tells the story of a U.S. You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!: Rumble's word-for-word response to Nic's rock-throwing gambit the first time.The Long Road Home is an American drama miniseries created by Mikko Alanne.Wronski Feint: Whiplash uses a handy tornado to get rid of Ravage.Ravage is an utterly implacable foe that is focused exclusively on his target, Whiplash, sparing only enough attention to Nic to absently swat her away. Rumble, though a legitimate threat, is easy to derail with taunting and distraction. Nic also, though to a much lesser degree, and she's much less obvious about it. Survivor Guilt: Whiplash, the lone survivor of not one but two separate Decepticon attacks.Not quite with the stereotypical "fiery" personality, though she is rather forthright and strong-willed. Parental Substitute: Nic's uncle Terry.Parental Abandonment: Nic again, whose mother died when she was an infant, and her father died only two years before the story starts.The lobby seems like a great place to have a giant robot battle. No OSHA Compliance: The Eyesore, a half-finished office building left to languish as an abandoned construction site in Topeka.Jumped At the Call: After only a little hesitation, Nic decides that if she doesn't go with Whiplash, the might-have-beens would haunt her forever.Later Nic herself trims the rest to match and doesn't look back. Important Haircut: Rumble snips a section of Nic's waist-length hair with a bladed spinner-rim (he was aiming for her head).I'm Not a Hero, I'm X: When it's pointed out that the damaged and desperate Whiplash wouldn't have gotten as far as he did without her help, Nic turns bashful and says she merely did what needed to be done.Humans Through Alien Eyes: Whenever Whiplash (or any other Autobot) has the POV.Only lightly armored as a necessary tradeoff for superior speed and maneuverability. Also counts for her suggestion to jump the overpass. Didn't Think This Through: Nic's first impulse when trying to distract Rumble away from Whiplash? Throw a rock at the evil robot.Daddy's Girl: Nic and her father were very close before he died.But when he has to, this is his favored tactic. Colossus Climb: Whiplash doesn't normally like to engage an enemy directly because most Decepticons are much larger and more powerful.Chase Scene: Whiplash, a little gun-shy from ages of running alone from enemies, mistakes the still-mute Bumblebee for Decepticon pursuit.The Autobots are shooting for more of an immigrant/refugee angle. Or an alien robot and his plucky native guide. A Boy and His X: A Kansas biker chick and her alien robot.Tropes used in The Long Road Home include:
