Something something Decepticon recruitment (+physical exam) yada yada putting my Malay twins headcanon to good use and making names (and a non-typical matrilineal last name as opposed to a patrilineal last name) for them :P

Old fanfiction as well as echo chambering myself I have got some headcanons in my mind that do not make surface level sense but have Syakir and Darwesh bin Kalsom!

#skyquake #tfp skyquake #dreadwing #tfp dreadwing #transformers #tfp #humanformers #fanart #look look look- i used [western] sources for names because i'm in [english majority country] and maybe can't get a good list of names #especially not knowing whether they're authentic or not :P any malaysian folk in the chat do forgive me #eitherway- i did at least try to find what the sources claimed the origins of the names were #from my understanding syakir is the malay (and indonesian) form of arabic and urdu shakir (which means thankful but i that didn't matter)#darwesh is the hindi version of darwish which is an old persian but also malay name that i actively chose to make hindi #(because i wanted to hear how it was pronounced but since i didn't have the script version the only way i could hear it was the hindi way)#and kalsom for a character that only exists in my head is the malay and urdu form of the arabic kulthum meaning full-cheeked/beautiful #again- my outsider understanding of the names mostly as a way to kinda brute force the terms skyquake and dreadwing into malay forms #it was really funny looking for dreadwing's human name a lot of them that i could find ended up being versions of david haha #one of them was i think dawoud (which i think was muslim)#it did make me shudder that if dreadwing anglicized his name he'd be david so i hopped the train to darwish/darwesh #which is more technically darvesh give or take dialects so no wumbo here #which btw skyquake ends up being right about the callsigns- human dreadwing hates that his callsign is DREAD wing- skyquake loves his tho :
