TFP Starscream but I got rid of his shrimp posture and made him “5%” bulkier lol.

[goldbug127]

omg i just got this, thank you so much everyone who liked my stuff

I've always been a Tumblr native but I've never really had the confidence to post stuff until really recently, so I'm really glad people are enjoying my silly little contributions to the tf fandom (o^▽^o)

[goldbug127]

yeah, pretty much.

🦟~~~~

[goldbug127]

heyyy ya'll, I'm back with more opinions (threat)

making another post because

WHEELJACK

THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU LIKE I DO

AAGHUGHIJKSHFK

anyway 🥰

thought I'd complain about tfp Ultra Magnus some more after the latest episode I watched. any Ultra Magnus lovers out there, be warned, I do not like him and I am mean about it

getting on with it, just watched season 3 episode 6 and I got thoughts to share

first of all, wanted to say Miko was brilliant this ep, she said she can handle herself and proved she absolutely can. even before she got ahold of the armour she was climbing out of a huge cave and jumping out the way of Starscream

so yeah, she was fab

now,

Wheeljack

I love him so much guys, and I know at first glance it doesn't really look like it, but he was trying so hard this whole ep

the fact he even went on this mission is a testament to him. like he has made his dislike of Ultra Magnus very apparent from the beginning, we learn in the episode that he pretty much deserted the wreckers after Ultra Magnus took command. seeing how proud he is of being a wrecker, you can see how big of a deal it is that he left because of one dude. and not only did Wheeljack make his feelings known, but so did Magnus. from his first appearances he tells us he thinks wreckers are wild and wreckless and uncontrollable in the worst ways. he constantly gets on at Wheeljack about everything, shoots down any ideas he may have, just generally acts all high and mighty

anyway, all that to say, there's so clearly hostility between them and, despite this, Wheeljack goes on the mission. he, albeit sarcastically sometimes, calls Magnus "sir" as he so expressly desires, he asks for permission to go after Bulkhead when he runs off (which Ultra Magnus responds to with angry silence like wtf bro he's just saved your life and he's following your rules, literally get over yourself aagrargahjsgk)

and yes, Wheeljack is a little wreckless and wild, but for every action and decision he has a justifiable reason or plan

he goes on ahead and climbs down towards the mine: he's using an established wrecker tactic that only fails because Bulkhead slips a bit and alerts the guard

he brings Miko along: she's a wrecker, she's good company, she's confident, and she's proven herself to be capable, she's even saved him before. he accepts her company so casually because he respects her as an equal, a fellow fighter

he triggers a grenade in a tight space: he was aiming for the predacon's mouth as it was about to breathe fire. had the explosive hit its target, the predacon could have been killed

that last one annoys me the most because the entire group was being absolutely battered. they were trapped, their blasts were doing no damage, a hit from Magnus did nothing but slow the predacon a few seconds so it could then make another, angrier attack. at the time Wheeljack threw the grenade, both Magnus and Bulkhead were temporarily downed. there was literally no better course of action Wheeljack could have taken.

and yet, Ultra Magnus still blames their near-death experience on him despite none of them suffering any damage. what was he angry about?? losing the opportunity to be eaten or burned to death by a dragon??? because that was exactly where that interaction was going bestie

also, throughout this ep, Bulkhead is constantly trying to defend Wheeljack from Ultra Magnus. yes, maybe it's because he knows he has trouble engaging with superiors, but was he worried about Wheeljack interacting with Optimus? was he so defensive when it was decided Wheeljack would be sent on a mission with Ratchet?

what makes me sad though, and I don't even know if this was intentional in the ep, was the fact that when defending Wheeljack, Bulkhead is careful, he tries to pander to Magnus, follow his rules and make it seem like Wheeljack is following them too. but when Miko needs help, he challenges Ultra Magnus and openly expresses his frustration, running ahead like they had been told not to earlier

I'm sure this difference doesn't help with Wheeljack's feelings of abandoned by Bulkhead when he left for team Prime. and I'm certain he doesn't blame Bulkhead for his feelings, he himself turned down the chance to join the team later, we know he's not one for sticking around, he probably completely understood Bulkhead's desire to go and do something different. but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt him

he tells Bulkhead all he ever used to think about was getting their old band back together. as much as he claims to be a lone adventurer, I think Wheeljack craves the friendships and community that he had, that Bulkhead still has now

I think it's why he eventually joins their team and why he tries to go on the mission with Ultra Magnus in the first place

he wants to stay and he's seeing if he can

he's testing the waters with Magnus, figuring out if he can cope with working with him again, seeing if being with Bulkhead and Miko makes a difference, maybe seeing if his memories had twisted overtime and his experiences weren't as bad as he thought

and all that happens is he's ridiculed and questioned and corrected and shouted at for everything he does

there's no comradery from anyone around him but Miko, even Bulkhead is too busy trying to appease Ultra Magnus

and so he leaves before that new relationship is soured as well

because if he's going to end up sad and/or alone anyway, he'd prefer it if his last memories with Miko were happy

gonna cry ya'll

Day 4 of transformuary :)

Day 4 - science

I decided to draw my favourite little arsonist lol. accidentally made him a cutie patootie and I regret nothing.

what I do regret is watching the second Bumblebee movie after seeing how they butchered Wheeljack's design, especially considering how good he looked in the first one!! like why change him when you got it perfect the first time!!!!

Wheeljack deserves to be a nerd who loves explosions and fighting people!! who looks tough and strong and has swords if he likes!! stop cHANGING HIM in live action for no reason!!?!?!?!?

anyway 🥰

Day 3 of Transformuary :)

Day 3 - fav female bot

Istg something possessed me because where did this motivation come from.

As you can probably tell, I quite like Elita 1. One of my few complaints about tfp is the lack of Elita 1. Though idk if that was because of rights issues, ik they had that problem with Hotrod which is why we have the lovely Smokescreen.

Anyway, I am really enjoying these prompts so hopefully I will maintain this motivation.

Naturally I had to draw the insect. He's so pathetic and annoying (affectionate). Fr though, I got whiplash when I first saw tfp Starscream after watching tf one lol

I'm back to college tomorrow so I'm not sure how many days I'm gonna be able to complete but I'll do as many as I can :)
