The Harpsichord Guy
Appeared in: Marvel UK #82, Target: 2006, part five
Poor Harpsichord Guy. All he wanted to do was entertain the patrons at Maccadam's, and not only does he remain nameless, he gets beat up by an unappreciative Decepticon named Fang. He's rescued by three of the Wreckers. On the other hand, given the look of those notes, I bet he's playing show tunes, so he probably deserved the beating.
Despite his taste in music, the Harpsichord Guy is really cool. C'mon, he's a harpsichord ( okay, a player piano. We just like the word 'harpsichord' ) - he's not a vehicle, animal, or weapon. He's a non-trad, thus giving him the same aura of cool that Soundwave ( and Blaster, if you have to drag Autobots into it ) has.

Maccadam's Old Oil House. Please note the ugly barmaid to your right.
Fang just doesn't like Miss Saigon.
Skip the respect - get him a new songbook
And Harpsichord Guy is still playing! The show must go on!
Where is he now? Well, he used to be a musician, but that was thirty years ago when they used to have a show. Now it's a disco, but not for Harpsi, still in that form he used to wear, faded feathers in his hair ...
All right, all right, no Copacabana jokes. I like to think Harpsichord Guy is still there, playing bad Westerns tunes whenever a Decepticon walks into the bar. I just want to know ...
... does it bug him when the patrons try to play him?
