List of TUGS characters

This is a complete list of characters who have appeared in TUGS in order of appearance.

Big Mac
Big Mac is Captain Star's second tug, who sports a distinctively broad Glaswegian accent. He is used for a variety of tasks around Bigg City Port, usually, because he is the second strongest, usually means he's supporting heavy loads. Big Mac is based on the tugs of San Francisco waters from the 1920's. His name is more likely to derive from the fact that he is big, and speaks with a broad Scottish accent

Big Mac can come across a rude and stubborn tug, but he has a heart of gold, despite his tendencies to be macho, gruff and tough at times. He is very much willing to set aside his own safety for the sake of others, and usually (but not always) remains level-headed when undergoing a strategy. Big Mac works mainly with Warrior. As opposed to his gruff personality, he is fitted with a rich and melodic chime whistle.

Big Mac is without a doubt an essential character to tugs, he is the strongest harbour tug of the fleet and despite his sometimes abrasive manners, he can be kind and gentle. He is always willing to help out someone in trouble, and uses his great strength to help wherever he can. His name is not to be confused and has nothing to do with McDonald's famous sandwich.

Big Mac is voiced by British actor Nigel Anthony, who also voices: Zebedee, Hercules and the Fire Tug.

In the US Version, Big Mac's named was changed to Big Kirk and he is voiced by Alec Baldwin.

In the Japanese version he was voiced by Keiji Fujiwara.

In Salty's Lighthouse he was voiced by Paul Dobson, and called "Big Stack".
