"Metal Heart" by Garbage is a good Buster song. Dropping the lyrics here for my own reference. Okay, it's a little SNAD for him, but some of sentiments ring very true, especially the doubting himself and the desire for a metal heart.

I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish that I was half as good
As you think I am

But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round

Wish I was as big as you
You'd have to tell the truth
I'd be nothing you could hurt
Nothing you could use

But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
The world is round?

I want to be dependable, I want to be courageous and good
I want to be faithful so that I can be heroic and true
I want to be a friend you can rely on you can lean on and trust
I want to understand so I can forgive and be willing to love

I wish I wasn't flesh and blood
I would not be scared
Of bullets built with me in mind
For then I could be saved

My sweet lord take care of me for I think I'm done
Kiss my mother on her cheek and lay my burden down

But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
The world is round

Buster Witwicky? :) Also, yay, Garbage!

Buster from Masterforce. He does eventually end up giving up his humanity for a metal heart. :(

Interesting. I know almost nothing of Masterforce.

It's strange. See my icon? He's not a girl.

[earthscorch.livejournal.com]

Ha! I realize that... but only because he makes me think of Lion-O. ;P

His outfit makes his gender ambiguity worse. He wears a baggy sweater and ballet tights.

Oh my!

I am told he was orginally meant as a female character, and was designed as such, but then they decided they had too many female characters on the show, and they made made him male.

That is an awesome song, yes. ^_^ I love the Bleed Like Me album.
