Gremlin Prescott

Gremlin Prescott is theGremlin in charge of theGag Factory inOsTown. Even though inEpic Mickey, he is a background character and ally toMickey Mouse, he became the secondary antagonist inEpic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Although he originally had no notable job in OsTown, he is later put in charge of the formerly closedGag Factory in the sequel. He is voiced byDominic Keating in bothEpic Mickey and its sequel.

Appearance[]

In the first game, Gremlin Prescott has the appearance of an ordinaryBlue Gremlin. In the sequel, he is clad in purple with gear-like shaking shoes, and wears a black and silver glove with a large red button in the middle, a pair of brown goggles on his head, and a large computerized device across his waist and other electronic items strapped around his back.

InEpic Mickey[]

Before Mickey's arrival, Prescott got in an argument with theTelephone inMickey's House, which ended with Prescott stuck inthe safe above the Gag Factory, and the Telephone stealing hiswrench. When Mickey arrives, he can eitherpaint backPirate Moody's house (in return Moody will give you the combination to the safe), or thin out the beam holding the safe. The latter, however, will make the safe fall on Moody, and seriously injure him and leave him unable to be interacted with for the rest of the playthrough.

When Prescott breaks out of the safe via thePaint path, he will accidentally slam the door on Mickey's face, and comment on how much of a good likeness the imprint of Mickey's head is on the safe. Prescott will then explain that the Telephone locked him in the safe and stole his wrench by tricking him into the safe (by promising him there was a present inside, which there was not).

He will then ask you to let him into Mickey's house to get his wrench from the phone, if Mickey wants his help in getting any further. If you choose to say "no", then you will need to finish aquest from the telephone.

If you allow him to get his wrench personally, Prescott will destroy the telephone in an apparent act of revenge. You will not be able to speak with the telephone at all from here on if you choose this path, but you will find a phone gear in the house. However, this will make progressing through the game much simpler.

After that, Prescott swiftly mends the broken bridge containing theProjector Screen toMickeyjunk Mountain so that Mickey can continue his journey throughWasteland and finally reachOswald. He wishes him luck on his journey, and hangs around outside Mickey's house with his trusty wrench.

Towards the end of the game, after Mickey defeats all theBloticles in OsTown, he thanks Mickey. When theBlot is defeated, it is most likely that he celebrates onMean Street. 

InEpic Mickey 2: The Power of Two[]

Gremlin Prescott reappears inEpic Mickey 2 as one of the main antagonists. Keeper of the Gag Factory, Prescott always dreamed of doing more with his life, whilst also secretly holding a grudge against those who cannot see his self-proclaimed genius, especially Gus. Since Mickey's first visit to Wasteland, bitterness and envy crept into Prescott, leaving him a sarcastic curmudgeon. He hardly has a kind word for anyone.

Episode 1: A Family Reunion[]

When Mickey and Oswald arrive, Prescott is in the basement of the Gag Factory as they enter OsTown, tinkering with a strange radio-like object. He swiftly hides the device in a nearby trunk and greets them sarcastically ("Well, well, now look who's decided to grace us with his presence."). He then tells them that theD.E.C. transport entrance they need is in a sinkhole ofThinner outside and thatGremlin Jamface gaveGoofy some pumps to clean it up. He adds that he told Goofy to upgrade them, as they would take too long. When the pumps explode as Goofy overcharges them, Prescott explains that he was only supposed to overcharge one. He tells you that's what you should do instead of retrieving the pumps and using them normally. If you do take his advice, it will work, but supercharging a pump will cause streams of thinner to shoot and continuously thin out several houses, and Prescott will admit that he knew this would happen. Using the pumps normally will result in only one thinner stream shooting at Mickey's house, which can be stopped by rebuilding the statue.

Episode 2: A Small Mystery[]

After evidence of the sabotaging of the Wasteland projectors begins to point towards him, Prescott disappears.Ghost Ian ofBlot Alley,Petetronic of Club 13, andAbe of theTrain Tunnel Dioramas all tell you they saw him. After you follow their clues, Prescott is later seen in theFloatyard where he is seen taunting Mickey and Oswald to follow him, saying they'll never get past his defenses. When they catch up to him inPrescott's Arena, Prescott lets on about how his "talents" were wasted at the Gag Factory, feeling rejected byGus. Soon, they find themselves in battle with a mechanical cannon resembling Steamboat Mickey (through the good path entrance only) before going toe to toe with a giant robot with Prescott's face on it (Prescott's Mech). Once Prescott's Mech has been defeated, Gus apologizes to him, saying he didn't want this to happen. Prescott then mutters in disbelief, mentioning that someone told him that no one could defeat him. Gus asks him who he's talking about. However, just as Prescott was just about to tell them, theMad Doctor arrives withDaisy Duck the reporter, her cameraman,Big Bad Pete, and aBeetleworxHopper. Although Prescott points towards the Mad Doctor, no one seems to notice him except Gus, who looks as Daisy tells the camera that they are on the trail of the notorious Gremlin Prescott and now plan to find out what he is up to. As everyone is still distracted, the Mad Doctor's Hopper hypnotizes Prescott. When they questioned him in the Mad Doctor's song "TheFall of Prescott," Prescott tells everyone that he planned the earthquakes and sabotaged the projectors on his own before being carted off byBig Bad Pete to Mean Street jail inCity Hall. The doctor then declares that he was working alone and that his evil has now met its fate.

Episode 3: Into the Depths[]

With Prescott in City Hall Jail, the hypnosis causes him to start saying gibberish in his cell. Gus wishes to know why Prescott became bad, and scouts around and finds a suspicious blueprint. Things continue to worsen as Mickey and Oswald later learn that Prescott was actually a pawn in the Mad Doctor's plans, the Doc having convinced Prescott to turn on his friends and build a TV that the Doctor could use to broadcast himself to the cartoon world in a plan to escape Wasteland, after which the Doc hypnotized Prescott to keep him from telling his plans.

Episode 4: Epilogue[]

After the Mad Doctor is defeated, a no-longer-hypnotized Prescott is seen being taken hostage bySmall Pete,Big Bad Pete, andPete Pan (andPetetronic, if the Thinner/bad path was chosen) before they leave Mean Street in aprojector (the one leading toVentureland), possibly because they plan to have him build them something or to get to the costumes in the Mad Doctor's attic (which, at this time, is only accessible through Ventureland, and thenAutotopia). This was possibly intended to be a teaser for the cancelledthird game.

• The sequel regards Prescott destroying the Telephone in the first game as the canon path. This could be considered minor foreshadowing, showing that Prescott is fully capable of destroying someone who dares to stand in his way.
• InEpic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Prescott's color scheme is depicted in an inconsistent manner; his original color in the first game is blue, but in the second, he is depicted in purple. Concept art shows him as being mostly blue.
  • According toWarren Spector on Twitter, he wasn't aware of Prescott's color changing error.^[1]
• He is the only known Gremlin that turns evil.
• The red button on his left glove was a self destruct gag in the early scripts.^[2]
• In an early script, Prescott was to fall to his doom by accident. This would have been the first and only time a non-villain (since Prescott was not an enemy in this script) was canonically killed. ^{[citation needed]}
• In thenovelization, it is shown that Prescott is jealous of Gremlin Jamface, due to the attention he receives from Gus. Gus responds by telling Prescott that he always felt that he was the stronger of the pair, and thus didn't require the extra help.
• According to Gus, Prescott is the one who invented the amplifier to theToon World and tried to upgrade the projectors more than they are in the game, but Gus rejected his idea.
• When Mickey and Oswald first meet Prescott inEpic Mickey 2, he will use the negative behavior of a regular Gremlin. Once he has spoken at least once, he never uses that behavior again in OsTown, though he will use it again in the jail.
• One of the builds (Build 8, July 2011) of the Epic Mickey 2 prototypes, shows two unused dialogs of Prescott, where he doesn't sound malicious and does not talk pejoratively about Jamface (or, in this version, Markus). "You should head to the Rainbow Caverns and attach the Mad Doctor's anti-Blotworx device but the Utilidor leading there is closed." "Also, Markus wants you two to look into why the projectors may have failed while you're down there. "
• According to the files ofEpic Mickey 2, Prescott's favorite ice cream flavor is Rocky Road.
• It is unknown if Prescott would have redeemed himself in the third game, had it not been cancelled.
