[goosegooserevolution]

List of words banned on The Ark, starting with number one: Alarm. I really missed making silly stuff like this. I have more comic ideas lined up for autobot and decepticon shenanigans, but it'll be slow going because i foolishly dedicated so much time to coloring and backgrounds so now i must continue that trend for future comics. also this is the first full background ive ever made and im super proud of it!! it still doesnt look quite the way i want it to but im just glad i finished it <3

Are sentinel and elita swapped as well?

They are older in the TFA age swap au, same as Optimus! Idk who they would age swap with tho, maybe Kup? But he’s really old 😭 I want them to be in their late 30s here. I’ve decided to make them all Primes here too, really show off how they are all the perfect soldiers for the war in their own ways.

They are all close friends, but throughout the Great War their differences in what’s best for Cybertron and their soldiers really start to shine through.

Sentinel wants to follow everything by the book, and rarely ever takes the opinions of others into consideration. If Ultra Magnus orders him to do something, he makes it happen no matter the cost. If not, he takes action without asking for advice or logistics, and if he fails he usually puts the blame on others. He thinks that because he means well he should suffer no consequences.

Elita is headstrong and calculating, always aware of how her actions affect everyone. When executing an order from Ultra Magnus, she takes the liberty of keeping everything in order and lose as little as possible, even if it comes at the cost of the mission/goal. This causes her to argue with Sentinel a lot, as he doesn’t really care for other bots other than himself most of the time. She also has a bit of a dark side however, as she uses her copy ability to copy the abilities of Decepticons and tests them on POWs to see how she can use them for the Autobot cause (alludes to her descent into evil and her actions as Blackarachnia).

Optimus is caring and loyal to his allies, always lending a hand to help those around him. Ultra Magnus tends to underestimate Optimus due to his (mostly) calm personality, but he always does his best in missions and knows when it’s best to retreat. He’ll help Sentinel if he got in over his head and assists Elita in her research of how to use Decepticon abilities to their advantage. He’s a bit of a pushover as well, as he’ll sometimes take the blame for the actions of others and would hardly intervene whenever Sentinel and Elita argue. He means well though, and his earnest attempts to make others happy even during the Great War makes him a favorite amongst the troops.

sentinel cant be a bad person

What’s Sparkplug’s dynamic with Elita-One? I love how you designed them both >_<

Oh she absolutely adores her

This was one of the first TikToks I made about them. Elita is always dying to give Optimus development… why can’t it happen the other way this time. Sparkplug has always been Elita’s baby, and Elita has always been Sparkplug’s mom.

I love my own mom, so it’s hard for me to not include a good mom that reminds me of my own

GUESS WHAT I GOT 🗣️🗣️🗣️ never doing this again but I had a lot of fun and I really wanna draw them now, they're silly

[gravelsong]

I actually had to stop and take a moment because. Holy shit where do I even start here

Elita's so desperate to keep Optimus on Cybertron that she'll actively sabotage his way of escape (not just his way either, Cliff is still badly wounded and he's now cut off as well). The war has been HELL on her and the planet, we've seen this every time we've seen her on Cybertron. Everyone she's ever loved is either in a constant state of survival, tortured, missing, or dead. She has gone through hell and back to keep it all together, and finally she's found Optimus again, someone who can lead them all, who knows what to do, who can help her keep it together.

But from her view, he doesn’t want to stay. He doesn't want to stay and defend his home, he wants to go back, he wants to leave. Leave behind everything they've worked for, making all of Elita's sacrifice pointless, making the deaths of all their loved ones meaningless. And not just that, but they can use what Shockwave built to save them. It's cruel and disgusts her, but sacrifices have to be made for their survival, even if it means harming another planet. But they have to use it, it has to mean something, because if not, then what was any of this for?

And Optimus, on the other end, is in pain over this choice. No leader wants to make a choice like this, but Optimus has seen what damage his people have done. The damage that his war has brought to them, how they've been killed and wounded at the hands of ones who still remain on Earth. Earth's destruction can't be at their hands, they can't force their losses onto people who never asked to be a part of this, who never had a chance at stopping the decepticons on their own. They can't kill another planet in the name of saving their own. The cycle can't continue.

Even while Elita is holding onto Optimus, screaming about how much she needs him, his other hand is spasming, the weight of what he's doing and what will come from this action very clear, but still painful. And in the end, he choses to protect Earth.
