Oh! Question! ✋😮 From a Prowl-ycule fan to another- Are you a:

“everyone loves Prowl”(only Constructicons/Prowl, the rest are just a gestalt team- so they’re tight but not in a romantic relationship) type of shipper

or a “everyone loves Prowl + each other��� (Constructicons/Constructicons/Prowl) type of shipper

Hello! :D I'm the latter, as I prefer it to be a polycule where everyone loves everyone, instead of a harem where only one of them is receiving all the attention. To me, it's like an already established relationship between the Constructicons; it's just that Prowl is the newest addition.

o poor lil camber. it must be really worrying for everyone throughout the gestation cycle whenever they see that while five o and mortar are growing fine lil camber is still very small and underdeveloped

Yes, unfortunately, Camber’s condition had everyone worried, especially Hook; being a medic, he beat himself up over what he considered to be his failure: if he had caught it early, then maybe his little boy wouldn't be suffering like this.

Since Camber emerged, Hook has been doing everything possible to ensure his son's survival, monitoring his vitals and designing treatments to improve his little one's health; recruiting Mixmaster to help him develop diets and energy supplements with the intention of increasing Camber's body mass to a considerably healthy level. Which wasn't going to be easy, as it was a race against time, since Camber's protometal needed to be inserted into the armor as quickly as possible if they had any hope of him surviving.

And so, while everyone else tended to the newborns, Five-O and Mortar, Hook slaved himself away in his office/medbay, spending every moment at Camber’s artificial forge to ensure his survival. He worked and lost countless nights of recharge, all so he could bring the best medical care to his sparkling, refusing to let his boy suffer on his own.

I'd like to note that by now, the first set of triplets (Smasher, Cruiser, and Driller) are already young adults living in their own homes: Smasher and Driller sharing an apartment, while Cruiser is off to another city studying to become an enforcer. When the news about their siblings’ emergence reached them, the guys were the first to arrive at their parents’ home to meet the new additions to their family, while Cruiser took a little longer due to how far she needed to travel, but in the end, she made it and was also able to meet the newest triplets.

Everyone was happy to see Five and Mortar, yet nobody could ignore the fear settling in their sparks whenever they thought about Camber. They all worried for the little protoform hidden away, wondering if he would make it through another night.

Hook was very stressed out and refused to let anyone (other than Mixmaster and Scrapper) enter the medbay, as he feared that contact could result in contamination and endanger Camber’s life, so he shut them all out. Even if he did wish he could spend time with his other sparklings, right now Camber was his top priority.

Apologies for rambling, but i have so much thoughts about them, im afraid i could not fit it all in one post (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) still, thank you so so much for the ask, it makes me very happy to see interest in these little goobers, and id love to share more about them now that my semester is ending ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

HEY HEY HEY, now I can attack you in more than one place >:3

omg friend!! ( ≧ᗜ≦)

[hambalbeesart]

Little lore about the sparklings, specifically Camber. More art under the cut…

Camber’s spark bonded platonically to Hook’s in an unique way, allowing him to draw energy more effectively which gave him enough strength to pull through, something his dad was very proud of.

When Camber was finally placed into his armor, he actually fit in it, and was able to be reunited with his siblings.

Im in a bit of a hurry as I gotta finish some homework, but I wanted to share these doodles ^^ I’d like to post a comic about baby Camber and how his bond with Hook came to be during those early days, but that’s for later.

[hambalbeesart]

HI FANY PACK HAIIII

OMG HI!!!! (づ> v <)づ♡ ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

[hambalbeesart]

BTW I have lot of opinions about how they were all handled in the IDW comics, I both love and am very frustrated with those comics at times, it happens to everyone I guessXD I could tell you all about it if you want, but I feel like I would be the one rambling if so if I did it this way and tehres too little text space for that, but maybe we could chat in direct messages or something else if you wanty oye si prefieres español tb lo hablo, asi qXD

omg that'd be great! :D yay alguien mas que habla español, es como encontrar una aguja en un pajar ( ˶°ㅁ°) !! jsjs

casi no le se yo al idw, pero si tengo amistades que me comentan lo mal que manejaron a los constructicons ahí (╥﹏╥) aunque me re mama el constructiprowl y se que de ahí salio, no soy muy muy fan de que los constructicons actúen idénticos uno al otro (,,>﹏<,,) osea se me hace gracioso en algunas veces, pero que se les tomen como unos brutos por todo el fandom si me agüita un poco ( • ᴖ • ｡)

[hambalbeesart]

dont worry, it was interesting, at least to me and Im the one that asked so lol. Poor Prowl does seem bland at first glance,especially in G1 and the other nicer versions of him out there,but theres something charming about him being so lowkey yet so attentive and straigthforward in his own meticulous way its a cute kind of earnestness or something lol. Also yeah I can totally see Hook being the most resistant one, he has high standards after all! and honestly the suspicion is warranted

Yes!! While I do like some of the angry Prowls I’ve seen, there's something about his G1 self in the cartoon I love 😭 

About Hook, he would be so resistant because he DOES have such high standards, and I fear Prowl does not meet them (yet at least 🤭), mostly because he’s an Autobot. He also believes his design and personality are very… Boring.

Hook is also protective of Scrapper, as he would hate for something bad to happen to his best friend, so he insists that he forgets about Prowl and instead move on to date someone better, like a decepticon. He's not dumb; he knows that if Megatron were to find out one of his prized soldiers was fond of an Autobot, he would consider it treachery. 

But Scrapper is very committed, and reassures his second in command that Prowl is not out to get him, and tries to convince him to give him a chance. Alas, Hook refuses. The medic is very mean and hateful towards Prowl whenever he crosses paths with him. At first, Prowl tries to be polite and ignore it, but after a while, the constant taunts and insults get to him, and he responds in kind.

This is where Hook realizes that Prowl, despite his reserved exterior, can actually match his wit. So the two begin to exchange insults, which, as time passes, start to become snide remarks, which develop into actual tense exchanges of words, until finally they start to have actual conversations. They find that they like to debate about deep topics and the like. Sure, the barbs and cutting remarks are still there, and the resentment lingers, but not as much as before.

In one of these many arguments, Hook gets the overwhelming urge to kiss Prowl senseless, and he nearly bluescreens as he registers the thought. Instead of acting on it, he clams up and leaves, wondering where that desire came from (°ロ°)

I finally finished designing the rest of the ConstructiProwl fankids, so let me introduce the last three :3

First of, a shitty height chart that isn’t much of a chart

Descriptions under the cut

Five-O: The fourth spawn. A bot with a cop car alt-mode. (He/they/She)

The most ambitious one yet, Five-O believes they are destined for greatness, the only thing holding them back is the fact that their vehicle mode is NOT the one they want! No offense to Prowl, but he doesn’t want to be a cop! Cruiser already fills that role perfectly, so don’t bother him about it!!

He dreams of being a construction worker like his parents, but he struggles a lot with it. Sure, the Constructicons encourage him to pursue his passion regardless of his “function”, but things would be so much easier if he was a construction vehicle!

When it comes to complaining, he comes second to Smasher. Five-O wants and wants and wants, but he unfortunately doesn’t put in the work to achieve his goals. He thinks everything should be handed to him for the barest effort, and is shocked when instead of that, all he gets is scraps.

Even though they love their siblings, they can’t help but experience issues with all of them:

They always butt heads with Driller, as Five-O believes his brother doesn’t take advantage of his alt-mode as he should, thinking Driller could be so much more great if he focused his interest on building rather than the arts. This, of course, only gets him reprimands from his eldest brother, Smasher, who tells him to cut it out and focus on his own crap instead of bothering his sibling.

He also argues constantly with his sister Cruiser, due to her “success” often making him feel inadequate about not using his alt-mode to join the enforcer field like her, as Five-O feels like his sister’s accomplishments overshadow his. They often feel jealous that she seemingly managed to get everything she wants on a silver plate, unlike him who has to struggle to find something he’s good at.

Five-O is also very aware of the clear favoritism Hook has for Camber and Cruiser, which makes him lash out at his younger brother and older sister. They also end up having a lot of issues with Hook (Why have I done to make you not love me?) and Prowl (I would hate to be like you. I’m sorry).

Camber: The second last, and Mortar’s older twin. A bot with a backhoe loader alt-mode. (He/they)

Hook’s pride and joy (followed by Cruiser), Camber is a very aloof and eccentric bot who likes to keep to himself. Despite having a construction alt-mode, he followed in Hook’s steps and decided to pursue a medical profession, going against his build to become a healer instead.

From the moment he first came online he knew he loved everything medicine related. He would go up to his dad and ask to be mentored in the field, and no matter the difficulty Camber just absorbed knowledge like a sponge, thriving when being challenged to his limits.

In behalf of being a surgeon, Camber is a pacifist, seeing the effect war has had on his parents and the patients he treats on the regular has made them very against violence and weapons; he can’t even hurt a fly, which leaves him defenseless and leaves him at risk sometimes, though his family always has his back, especially Mortar.

He loves his twin, but she can be a pain in the aft to deal with sometimes; always dragging him along with her ill conceived plans, which end with Camber needing to clean up her mess.

While he’s very shy and distanced from his siblings, he does love them, but they understand that he’s just not very social, though he does open up to a select few: Mortar, Cruiser, and Hook.

He looks up to his big sister Cruiser, who despite not being in the medical field, used to help him learn the ropes for performing first aid, as she was also trained by their dad to at least perfect the basics. Camber also finds himself enjoying his sister’s directness, and he’s the only one who gets to see a more relaxed side of her, as she spares him from her snobby attitude.

Regarding their alt-mode, they are quite creative with it, using the bucket as a way to grab the tools he needs when treating a patient.

Mortar: The last and youngest daughter. She is Camber’s twin, though they do NOT look alike. Her frame is the second biggest built, a very buff girl with a compactor alt-mode. (She/Them)

A very energetic girl who causes trouble on the daily in an effort to prove herself, only for her schemes to backfire on her constantly. Yet she is not deterred at all, instead upping the ante, thinking “the bigger and outrageous the plan, the better the reward!” Which for her parents means: this one is a deranged menace that should be stopped.

She’s always dragging Camber around and roping him into her schemes, to her twin’s chagrin. The only one who approves of her antics is her oldest brother, Smash, who can be usually found at the scene of the crime for their latest mischief.

Mortar is a very good fighter, having gained experience from training with her siblings and fathers. Once they reach adulthood, they become a professional wrestler.

I need to know how Prowl and the constructicons all started dating in your version of events,like if it started with Prowl and Scrapper as it looked like in that comic where Prowl was worried about what they would think,how did the rest of the gestalt react when they found out?were they outraged at first that he would makeout with the enemy and all that(cause surely they must have thought Prowl to be one of the unquestionably good guys who most decepticons would balk at)until he told them about some crazy morally dubious and ruthless Prowl scheme Scrapper found out about and then the rest were like "hold on,he may be unto something…"?XD I bet they all got lovestruck fast as always if they saw that side of Prowl,and even more so the moment he started to trust them and be affectionate with them too with how hissy he usually is to everyone else lol

While I don't have it set in stone, one of my headcanons is that Prowl isn't very popular with the Decepticons, as he is known to be a ruthless tactician who is very cold and aloof. His stickler for the rules personality also isn't doing him any favors…

Yet in reality, he is very shy and reserved, and doesn't go out on the battlefield much unless he's leading a small squadron. At most, he would go out on patrol and write reports on whatever suspicious activity he came across. But overall, he is quiet and withdrawn (when it comes to friends, he is more open and prone to smiling shyly, as I don't think he's antisocial, but he does need some space to be on his own).

It is during one of these patrols that he comes across Scrapper, while the constructicon is working on his pastime of making art. At first, it would be a tense standoff, but it would calm down quickly once both parties agreed not to attack one another.

Then, they would just… Talk. Prowl would find himself enjoying Scrapper’s company, finding him to be charming, despite how intimidating the Constructicon leader is (you can't deny how endearing his modesty is!), and Scrapper is surprised to find out that the tactician isn't as frigid as the rumors say, instead finding him to be polite if timid.

It would develop from there, with the two sneaking around to spend time with one another. Prowl would find Scrapper’s intelligence and creativity to be fascinating, as the Constructicon is a master at his craft, and also works with a lot of strategy of his own when it comes to leading his gestalt in the field. And Scrapper would enjoy getting to ramble about his art to such a patient audience, with Prowl seeking to understand him better.

All is well until they finally get caught.

Hook would be FURIOUS, not only is Scrapper canoodling with the ENEMY, but did he have to pick someone so… bland!? He would be very against the relationship in the beginning, outright despising Prowl, as he believes the Autobot is out to destroy them.

The other Constructicons also have their reservations about Prowl, but they would start to like him over time, as Prowl needs to prove himself not to be a threat, and slowly but surely, each Constructicon would become infatuated with him. It helps that Prowl does employ some morally dubious tactics, which quickly gain their interest.

Hook would be the last one, as he worries that this is all a trap to destroy the gestalt and bring about their defeat, and only after a lot of time and effort would he actually start to develop his own feelings for the Autobot. I like to give them this enemies-to-lovers type of relationship.

But in the end, they do get together (ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡ all is well. maybe kinda sorta idk ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?

My version of constructiprowl is set heavily on the G1 cartoon, as I'm much more familiar with the characters there (I'm still very early in the idw comics xd). To me, the ship works better when every constructicon adheres to their personalities, instead of just being blank slates of characters you can copy and paste, like I've been told happened in the comics (I still have to build my own opinion about it, as I've mentioned before, I haven't actually read IDW).

I'm still learning about the characters, so I'm sorry if I get anything wrong （>_<''）

Apologies for rambling yet saying so little, but I'm having some trouble translating my thoughts in English, jaja, I hope this isn't too boring. I'd love to answer more questions about my interpretations of the pairing :D

Thank you for the ask! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

[hambalbeesart]

unfortunately back on my bullshit

[hambalbeesart]

Hook doing routine maintenance work on First Aid’s servos. He insists on doing it himself, as there is nobody more qualified for the job…

[hambalbeesart]

This is totally random but I just need to say there's something that always makes me so happy abt prowl sitting in any of the constructicon's laps jsdjdjsds its so cute for some reason.... he belongs there...... but I needed to thank you for drawing this multiple times bc I cherish them all so much lmao 😭💗

Prowl likes to sit on them, their laps are the best resting spot! 🤭 kinda like when a cat sits on your lap, you are unfortunately unable to move anymore

Hehe, thank you for your message :D I like to draw him sitting on them cause it must feel very safe and protected in their embrace,,

[hambalbeesart]

Hit the slay button

[hambalbeesart]

stay tuned, idiots!

[hambalbeesart]

Awkward

[hambalbeesart]

Hook and Prowl sometimes like to do work in berth, silently enjoying each other’s company…
