With a mask covering his face, it is almost impossible to tell that his eyes have been replaced by a creature whose origins are shrouded in mystery and his presence instills fear by those who know of the danger: Goose, the duck. Of course, this is all just exaggeration, but the perception of Icarus' long lost animal companion hold true to their rumors, granting supernatural marksmanship and weakpoint targeting to the half-orc.
But trauma never goes away without lasting effects, or visions of what you have lost. In times of terror and grotesque physique, the eyes of Goose see under the surface, laying the path to much worse than meets the mortal eye, leaving the woefully unprepared more vulnerable. In simple terms, Icarus has become more open to the eldritch horrors that scrape the minds of their sanity.

Though in such cases where it continues to run, similar to all electronic, a strong surge of electricity disables the nanites, overcharging them and causing them to short circuit.
Due to the nature of the nanites, it makes crane gag easily as he has to deal with the fact that the thing is rotting right in front of him, feeling every little bit. It disgust him and makes him physically ill.
Along with that, the constant losing of nanites due to this is irritating him causing him to easily be enraged.

The Toon performs some sort of cartoonish act of violence. This may be handing someone a bomb, hitting someone with a cartoon mallet, burping a burp that is so noxious it melts flesh, or anything else as long as it is cartoonish.
