team fourtress doodle dump 🙏

(ill add more doodles and ig ""lore"" if thats the right term under the cut)

the robots in all my doodles are sentient, like "OH GOD IM ALIVE" sentient. Most of them "wake up" right before or during battle, where they'll def see their own be blow up and stuff, so to avoid humans (and basically being killed for money) there are groups, or "troops" of robots, spanning from small groups of 2-4, groups of 5-9, to huge troops 10-20 in really rare cases, that live in the wild and travel from place to place, mainly on the North American and Eurasian plates.

They'll take to junkyards or abandoned buildings to find materials to strengthen their armor with, and also augment themselves to fit their personal tastes (like 1 of my little guys, Peremo, who is a pyro robot that has pyrophobia. rip bozo 😔🙏).

In my versions of the Red and Blu team, there are 1 robot for each team. Red has Socrates, a medic robot who had his right arm removed so he can hold other things while healing, and Blu has Vlad, a heavy robot that is basically doing the same thing as Red Heavy, killing people for money so he can take care of his family (but like... they Eat the money instead of using it to keep the lights on).

I'd go on for hours but my hands hurt 😭 im gonna have to make a masterpost oh god

Man, sometimes living alone with ADHD really do be like:

Me: Huh, I wonder why I'm so shaky and tired and seeing spots everywhere

Also me: *hasn't eaten food in two days, hasn't had water in just as long, has been hunched over current hyper fixation for hours without moving, hasn't seen sunlight in days*

Me: .... Just one of life's great mysteries I suppose

Just Saying...

The shunter that steam engines sent to the scrap yard... umm glue factory.

research tips for electric train whump:

-INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE SOURCES ARE YOUR FRIEND! There’s not much stuff specifically about trains but basic concepts (maintenance and repair of AC or DC motors, transformers, rectifiers, other heavy electrical equipment) largely carry over from sources about elevators or substations. There’s a lot of good videos on youtube about these topics, look into stuff aimed at apprentice electricians or industrial maintenance, it will generally be more visual/metaphor and less math-heavy if you struggle with that.

-many “breakdowns” are actually due to power infrastructure issues- third rail and catenary wires have different problems and these further vary based on how old they are. Fixed-tension catenaries on the former Pennsylvania Railroad are a notorious issue. The more modern the line, the less weird stuff you’ll have, but much of the US, parts of the UK, and a number of spots in mainland Europe have more unusual and antiquated electrification systems. And this is also an issue with model trains between brands and eras!

-On a related note, pantograph designs have varied by time and place and have different advantages/disadvantages/issues. You even have times when they have a uniquely bad time with old catenaries, like old Comet EMUs specifically getting snarled in those constant-tension PRR catenaries

-Never underestimate how “dumb” and un-computery a lot of electric trains actually are, especially circa the 80s. “Toaster” isn’t even an inaccurate insult for older DC-motor trains, they literally brake using huge resistors that put out a ton of heat… like a giant toaster. And the really old, simple stuff tended to last a stupidly long time in service so you can 1000% wave off a 20s-era engine or EMU in the 80s.

-If you want some really easy ones that have actually happened before: connecting to too strong of a power source and getting FRIED, and having wires ripped out willy-nilly by techs not familiar with electric trains that don’t know what they’re doing. Weaponized incompetence with anything electrical checks out with how even a lot of train people know very little about it and don’t care.

-model trains also have a lot of beginner-friendly electrical info you can work from
