[ Shiny apparition would be right. Through the mystical powers of BS Transformers lore, Spinister's real robot body is parked somewhere on the roof while he remotely projects this solid-light holomatter avatar to interact with all the humans!

Hence the rather ambivalent reaction to being threatened with death by this very frightening and dangerous-looking alien. The avatar, at least, will feel solid to the touch, but the facsimile is quite hollow. No blood, organs, or bones. The avatar doesn't even have a face under the mask! ]

Oh, sorry. Not a bug. Not enough chittering.

Are you a Dire Wraith? My buddy met one online and they're real close, so don't worry. I won't judge.
