#Bugformers

[tobi-rx]

Hollow Knight fixation reawakened so I thought I’d turn the funny robots into Hollow Knight bugs as a fun little thing

So far we got Bee (Hive Scout), Optibug, Bugatron, Buglita

Shockbug.

Dragonfly Trine: ThunderCharger, Bugscream, and FlyWarp

Soundweb and his weaverlings: Rumble and Frenzy, and Laserbeak and Ravage

(NOTE: I updated this image a couple times since I first posted it, but I think that’s about it for the first set of transformer bugs. Please lmk who else I should turn into a bug! :D)

EDIT: I imagine that they’re not so much taking the place of the bugs in Hallownest, as they exist as another kingdom of bugs out in the wastelands beyond Hallownest.

The Kingdom of Cybernest? Cyberhive?

I’ve been imagining hypothetical boss fights against these bugs also, might illustrate those later.

Hollow Knight x Transformers Animated (decepticons)

This is long overdue, but after doing the autobots in their hollow knight version, here’s my version of the deceptions in the hollow knight universe ^^

Those were super fun to design, abit harder but very fun nevertheless

You can find my version of the autobots in HK's style right here and a bunch of additional drawing if you reserch the tag #bugformers on my page ^^

Now, since I did the main cast of transformers and that i didn't do every additional/important characters (like Sentinel, Jazz, Shockwave etc), I want y'all to drop in my ask box witch TFA character you want me to do next and i’ll be more than happy to do their version (also, additional doodles are in preparation)

BUGFORMERS

PROJECT..

A Sticky Situation

Starting today 11/19/23.. since I have a love for bugs and robots why not put it together.. but, in this they are technically just bugs..

Concept designs for our main buggers!!

I'm not sure who to design next so.. suggest some Transformer characters you want to see in this... I'm planning on adding Ironhide, Jazz, Soundwave, and the other two seekers but I'm not sure if they will also be mosquitoes.. They might be different species depending on what I settle on for their personality, I would also love it if you guys could suggest bugs species.. because I'm struggling to find some :)

I'm going to add a lot to this so.. There aren't just going to be a few bugs in this garden...

And I can tell you right now... That Megatron design I just did.. I've never crushed on a bug, so hard... Or at all for that matter..

My wifi is trash at the moment but I gotta share a thought

White witch moth Skyfire/Jetfire

[wyrm-with-a-why]

If Overlord was a bugformer I think he’d be a Deepnest creature or something like Herrah the beast! Refs for her below so you can try to get what I’m saying(click the images)

She’s a big spider btw

[robot-rarepairs-dotcom]

In a bug mood and yk. Constructicons r my game.

SkrapHook

Apathetic butches who are annoyed at everyone around them but one another.

Big bug leader and it's smaller medic husbandwifething.

Skrap likes giving Hook lil things she finds, and Hook likes to praise her

Skrap likes cuddling, Hook tolerates it at most but allows it

THEY👏ARE👏BOTH👏BUGS👏 Skrap is a spider / beetle and Hook is a mantis of sorts

Skrap has special purring / cooing / calls specifically targeted for Hook and only Hook

Bro I love bugs these are so cute but on another note have you ever played hollow knight I think you fuck with it

Starscream

Dragonfly Starscream!

Gosh, you have no idea how much I love this little bugger! He's just very prescious to me! It's the first one I made a design for, but the stuff here even isn't his first design! Its "beta" was more like his TFA counterpart, but that was before I researched actual Dragonflies.

Anyways, this idiot here is most similar to Armada Starscream, but like. Very young. Slightly older than my Bumblebee, but one of the youngest Cybertronians out there.

He's intelligent and cunning, but also has a compassionate side to him not yet ruined by war, despsite being born into it. Or rather, made into.

This Starscream, is unlike any Starscream from animated shows. He isn't the only Starscream to ever exist in that universe, however he is the only Starscream still alive.

What am I on about? Why, so glad you asked! My boy is a clone! The original was killed quite in the beginning of the war, but the Decepticons had his CNA, so when Megatron deemed the time right, she cloned the mech. But in order to not get the traitor that the OG had been, he had decided to raise the clone from sparklinghood.

Megatron and Starscream have by no means a parent-child relationship, no. Megatron barely took part in raising him. It was mostly whoever was free at that moment, that had been tasked with guarding and teaching him.

The SIC during Starscream's sparklinghood was a mech called Barricade. When Starscream came of age, Barricade mysteriously went missing, and Megatron gave the role of the second in command to Starscream, as the latter had proven himself to be not only intelligent, but also an adept fighter, and someone easily manipulatable in hopes of earning praise.

Not soon after, both the Nemesis and the Ark crash-landed on Earth, where they remained inactive for a thousand years or so. The Nemesis had crashed to the bottom of the ocean near Australia, while the Ark had found it's place not far that much farther in the Great Australian desert.

There, Starscream finally got to prove his worth as a Second in Command. Which in Megatron's mind really wasn't that much.

The Decepticons were beaten, and had to return to the Nemesis, which was semi-fixed, and driven away. Only for the ship to crash again into a beach cave in Great Brittany.

There Starscream found his alt-mode as he and his seekers were scoping their surroundings. The emperor dragonfly.

The many lenses of the dragonfly's eyes work when he closes his main two optics, so he sees almost everywhere around him, just not as well as his main ones. They also aren't that good in his alt-mode, but clearer than the eyesight of most others.

At one point, after many punishments and suffering through public humiliation, Starscream begins to doubt Megatron, so he goes away to cool off.

There he comes across Windblade, who despsite their better judgement decides to still help Starscream, who hit his head pretty hard.

They find companionship in each other and begin meeting up in secret. But with Starscream's luck, it's no wonder that Megatron soon finds out about this.

Windblade asks Starscream to join the Autobots, but Starscream refuses, not yet ready for that. Windblade understands and they part ways once more.

He is confronted by Megatron, who gives him one last beating, tearing his wings in the process, and seriously injurying him. He is left behind to die.

To his luck, he is found by the Autobots, still barely functioning, and taken in for medical care. The Autobots manage to fix him, except his wings, which are made of a material that is only found on Cybertron, and even there it's rare.

Luckily, he can still fly, just not as well. Occasionally he gets flied around by Windblade, which always gives him great joy.

He joins the Autobots, and while most still don't trust him, especially Bumblebee, who for some reason hates him with a burning passion, Prowl, and Ironhide, who might hate him even more.

His existence is turned upside-down when a mech called Skyfire is thawed out of the ice. They seem to recognize Starscream, who does not recognize him.

Skyfire says that they used to be partners, that they went to the Crystal City Academy Of Sciences together. But Starscream has no idea what the bigger mech is talking about, as his entire life had been on the Nemesus until a few months ago.

Thus is revealed Windblade's long time suspicion; Starscream is a clone. Prowl and Ironhide begin warming up to him after that, which greatly confuses the young seeker. Bumblebee becomes meaner than before.

And that's about how much I have of him at the moment. I love him a lot :3

Like his OG version, he is also very curious and inquisitive, and unlike most other Decepticons, actually excited to learn about Earth.

Throughout his life he had a hobby of photography, and he also has a collection of space rocks from meteors or Decepticons have given him.

With the Autobots, he also becomes interested in aqoustic guitar and joins the Autobot band, to the great displeasure of Bumblebee, who plays the violin.

[ID: Transformers Beast Wars II ['99 anime], the characters are transformers that just look like cartoon animals. 1. A mandrill sitting up from the ground saying "A q-q-queer mantis?!" 2. A praying mantis with one long arm poised to strike "What? Who are you calling a queer mantis?!" END]

what do we think. can he reclaim?

[karen360-x3]

Have you done shockwave (tfa) and Blurr (tfa) in HK yet? If not could you do them? I luv them dearly

I got u fam ;)

And I'm sorry but I HAD to base Shockwave's design from Nosk considering the turn out of events in TFA

But anyways, hope you like it and if anyone wanna make a Transformers animated x Hollow Knight character request, leave them in my ask box (or if you have a question about them or to ask them too)

Also, I'm tagging @terminatedapathy on this one cuz they wanted to see how fucked up Shockwave would be soooo.....here we are lol

Ref TFA x HK of the main Autobots here

And Ref for the main decepticons right here

[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

Blame @slugsjunk for this. This was spurred by stuff they said in our Discord server. I said Rewind was just a rectangle and they replied with "fear him; he'll live in your shoulders" and then this:

So here's a doodle of Rewind and his horrifying scuttling children.

If you're curious, the babies' alt-modes are lil usb drives.

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

Whirl would be a dragonfly. Dragonflies are one of nature's most successful hunters, catching their prey 90-97% of the time and that kinda tracks with the fact that Whirl was made to be a soldier and how he, after his empurata, became a violent person. Not to mention that dragonflies kinda reminds me of tiny helicopters.

He is tall and gangly, all long limbs and sleek, blue armor. His wings look deceptively frail and they are always fluttering since Whirl is in a near constant fight or flight mode.

I will always see Tailgate as a moth but a part of my brain is whispering “dung beetle” since he’s a waste disposal bot.

[numbur1goobah]

More Bugformers!!

It's kinda gayy-

Anyway who should I design next? Because I think I'm doing Jazz as a blue mud dauber

Aka a blue metallic colored wasp

First post about it

[none-of-five]

( happy halloween, i’ve decided i’m adding optional parasitoidism to these fuckers’ lifecycle. boo )

[wyrm-with-a-why]

Tried drawing Jetfire as a hollow knight moth because of @cyber-neptune’s moth ideas!
