I miss my two grumpy children and my happy baby bug

[rinovarka]

Realized as an artist I can draw whatever I want SO… Trypticon, Metroplex, and Fortress Maximus, all having a midlife crisis, form an 80s cover band 🗣️🏙️🎸🥁

Finally posting art here! Also finally finished sketching out my reinterpretation of The Thirteen Primes (14 really). Important to note that in my version Megatronus is not The Fallen, Quintus is, and was wiped from recorded history, making 13.

Feedback/questions/constructive criticism is all welcome and appreciated!

I love Fort Max and Rung still keep it touch. :)

Such a big bot with cute animals. XD

Design for autonomous maximus The great dome of iacon , vector sigma , and auntie vector sigma's avatar to the future

beneath the montain, vector sigma guided the transformers as their maternal god, and as society emerged around her resting place, the mountain came to life to protect it's mother computer by joining the autobots,

Remaining on the planet after vector Sigma's deactivation, it's said that autonomous maximus is still on cybertron to this day as its last autobot while his body became the basis for arks that Shepherd his fellow autobots off world

Deep bellow cybertron lay the allspark powered mother computer vector sigma, responsible for running the great machine that was cybertron, she sees the transformers as her children so she showered them with great love but infantilized them in her head as unable to do evil, so she did not act as their society corroded, secluded away in her chamber where she could gaze milions of years into the future, she guided cybertron's ecosystem into becoming a mechanical version of earth with robot animals and of course robot humans in the transformers, as she knew even back then that the unremarkable earth would play a great role in her children's history,

With her knowlege of the future she created messages put into the right places to allow her to comunicate wifh future generations she sees herself as a god but her nature is entirely mechanical, she doesn't even have a spark, and her ability to see the future is based on algorithms and what she already knows via the "sensory organs" of cybertron, so sometimes her messages spiral off into tangents and nonsense after having predicted the wrong response from her intended listener

In messages for earth, Vector Sigma uses an avatar called auntie as she sees earth as a sister to cybertron. Though its residents aren't fully on board with the idea, it's like that aunt or uncle you barely know that acts way too chumy with you in a way that's off-putting rather than charming,

Above her chamber stood the city of iacon, greatly respected, but over the years, it became the house of all corruption on cybertron as the functionist council excavated it's great dome to act as their captital. The building itself shackled as iacon grew into a massive metropolis, and all the spilled energon that naturally came from its massive population threatened to bring the building to life,

when the revolution tore down the government, the restrains were destroyed, and the building began reformating itself with a robot mode just as megatronus and liege maximo revealed their aliance with bruticus maximus. But before they could end the autobots with their opening assault autonomous maximus awakened, and in a split second decision, protected the autobots from harm with a single mighty punch

With the newly christened decepticons retreating, the autobots named themselves after the giant that saved them and over the course of the next milenia civil war between the autobots and decepticons raged until the two sides had captured so much terrain and became so diferent from each other they were separate nations, nations whose war plundered cybertron and the world off of it's resources until the planet was spent.

The autobots omit this part of the story, but it was the autobots who took the allspark and tossed it into space to keep it away from the hands of the decepticons, quickly regretting that action as the planet died around them, the part they do tell is that the surviving transformers hid away inside titans like autonomous maximus, overcome with the weight of sins on their back, they began to construct arks to search for the allspark, all based on autonomous maximus' design, each housing three great titans

While maximus himself opted to stay behind on cybertron. Loyal to it's mother above all even as her lifeless husk hung from the celling of her chamber, to give the arks power to lift off prima used the star saber to gather celestial power into the arks, dissipating her body entirely, while maximus fought off the decepticons wishing to attack the arks,

or at least thats what they tell you. Even a most basic analysis of the story would tell you the decepticons obviously also wanted to escape the planet, meaning the ancient autobots were willing to let their enemies die from their own atrocity. What could have happened to turn a culture like any other with its complexities and grey morality into heroes?

Guilt. With the fall of cybertron, the autobots became suicidal, and their leaders had to turn that self-destructive impulse into the service of others, ideas that permiated autobot ranks to this day, as new generations were born aboard the ships, that initial melancholy faded away as the new faces never stepped foot on cybertron,

but from the moment they came online, the autobots were taught to live for the well-being of others as their number one priority, till all are one, drilling that message into their heads is their society's one goal, as with anything their sucess rate varies (see barricade). While their search for the allspark became myth, then legend,

It was in that world that our autobots, natives of ark primax came from, and that leads us to today, with them telling the story to the earth's own population of transformers, most are skeptical of certain aspects of the tale, but the mistress of flame is enchanted by their story, dispite their claims otherwise, easily becoming part of her view of cybertronians as gods

Drift would put random crystals around the 'Lost Light', especially in the med bay to "get rid of bad energy"

Drift has tried to convert Ratchet to his spirituality multiple times only to promptly (and rudely) shut down

Fortress Maximus vents to Cerebros and Red Alert often, the other tow making warm Energon for all of them and sumggling up to each other so he feels more safe.

Megatron often reads his poems out loud to himself, imanging a crowd of Cybertronians in front of him, till late hours because he can't fall into recharge properly due to nightmares

Preceptor and Brainstorm get into petty squabbles often (think Hermann and Newt from Pacific Rim)

Ultra Magnus polishes his armor daily- if he finds a spek of dirt on it he'll restart

Rodimus will start doing somersaults in the middle of the hallway randomly, nearly hitting a few members of the crew

unless your therapist is god youre just gonna have to accept youre fucked up beyond all repair

Random thoughts about the Magnus armour setup, why can't Tyrest just reframe every loadbearer into Ultra Magnus lookalikes instead of having the armour as an outer shell? Aside from the fact that it makes for a more dramatic reveal in storytelling.

The worldbuilding presents reframing as a fairly normal procedure, just expensive and resource consuming (although Soundwave and Whirl were able to do it on the spot with Ratbat and Megatron so. there’s that.) Whereas person-in-a-shell is more of a surprising novelty. And it's also inconvenient for secrecy, I know Ratchet and most of the people in Autobot command knows about it, but there's gotta be times when an Ultra Magnus gets injured outside of Ratchet's vincinity. Do the Magnuses just never go to medics other than Ratchet and teleport to Tyrest every time they need a surgery or have trouble with the armour somehow? Sounds like an awful hassle. With the reframe route, every time a Magnus dies, then all Tyrest has to do is remove and replace the spark via simple surgery. He won’t need to go through the whole integration process with the complicated neural wiring and stuff.

This explanation about load-bearers pretty much says they can augment their bodies however they want without regards for size, which I'm guessing would limit the reframing choices for normal Cybertronians. So for normal people, minibots would have to stay minibots. But that's not the case for loadbearers, because their size tolerance is so high that it makes the limit negligible.

Which means. there's technically no reason for Dominus and Minimus to turn themselves into matryoshka dolls in order to look bigger? Or to keep their original turbofox alts if they aren't comfortable with it. They can reframe themselves into whatever form they want, whatever size they want I'm sure Dominus has the money to pay for it

fortress maximus

[stickyshift]

Honestly, maybe I'm more shocked than any of my retro fans are haha but I'm back?? I admittedly haven't written fan fiction in?? Oh god 6 years. College chewed me up and spit me out, gotta be honest.

A short series fic about processing isolation, PTSD, and relationships inside being a caregiver in a professional setting from the POV of Rung and Fort Max. If any fans are left here I hope you'll enjoy it.

Content Warning: intimate discussions of trauma, isolation, grief, depression, and mental crises

I'm still really Sad about Trypticon never becoming the "Tallest Transformers Toy Ever"

(but hey, he's still a better toy than "classics" trypticon, who is just a cybertron scourge repaint)

The chaos of room 512B has taken their show on the road in Rodimus' latest scheme to build moral and blow off steam.

Each room (typically two roomates) count as a team and compete against one another for a grand prize.

This time it's room 814 (Skids and Bluestreak) vs room 512 (Sunstreaker, Fortress Maximus and Bob).

[nhoeer]

I just stumble over this fic about how SG Thundercracker got his awful paint job.

And boy... i think i have trauma now.
