daily koss #29: if we only have one shot… better make it count, right?

Since I started on the 18th of February, today marks the one month anniversary of me drawing these wretched old men every day!!! I wanted to make something special for it, so I tried my hand at a comic (even though I am NOT good at comics—dear god, paneling is so unintuitive for me that I ended up wrangling this into a webtoon format just to avoid it).

Despite the increasing level of render and polish on my dailies over the past two weeks, this is the first time I’ve really, actually tried to flex my art muscles and apply my braincells to a piece 😂 Here’s to hoping my work paid off! I have now, officially, moved from low-effort shitposts to real-effort seriousposts 😔

(Also, if you’ve never read a webtoon before, hopefully the long-scroll format wasn’t too jarring! >_<)

A meta aspect I love about KOSS is that Transformers is a multi-timeline franchise: Knock Out and Starscream exist across multiple different continuities, sometimes alongside each other, sometimes not. But they only really ‘work’ in TFP, despite them both having other characters as constants (Breakdown, Megatron). If this were any other world, and they were any other versions of themselves, they might not even have been coworkers—just ships passing in the night.

And yet, the perfect storm of random events led to them being in one thing together, with a compelling dynamic at that (even an entire episode that puts it on blast!!!). Sometimes I think about how, according to the TFP artbook, Knock Out was originally conceived as something of a counterpart to Bumblebee—another fast, pretty car, except a villain this time—but the writers ended up fleshing out his relationship with Starscream the most. I wonder what the thought process behind that was—did the devs find their dynamic fun to play with as well?—and whether the two would get more moments together if Prime wasn’t cancelled…

But I digress! The fact I discovered TFP in the first place is the cherry on top of the serendipity-cake; I never imagined I’d ever get into Transformers, but one impulsive ‘hey, what if we watched the new Transformers movie’ from Lacuna at 3AM in the dead of January changed the trajectory of my life.

I’ve always been really bad at committing to projects for over a month at a time—I often find myself burnt out and restless after only a few days, even. So to still have so much drive and inspiration to create fanworks—for KOSS, of course, but an assortment of other pairings and properties too—is such a novel and exciting experience. My tune may change at a moment’s notice (I can be very fickle), but for now I’m eager to keep scribbling on 🥰I already have something planned for the next week of Daily KOSS hehehe~

Anyway, things referenced in the comic!

G1 cartoon s01e13 “Fire in the Sky”

2019 IDW continuity Tread & Circuits issues 2, 3, and 4

Armada episode 48

TFA s02e03 “Mission Accomplished” and s03e13 “Endgame II”

2005 IDW continuity “Choose Me,” Spotlight: Megatron, and Annual 2017 “Chosen One”

And it’s probably obvious from the art, but I love the juxtaposition of Starscream being tortured by god in every other universe while Knock Out is either happily married or doesn’t exist.

Saw the best post every about Starscream which now that I think about it makes sense

Star is a major NERD FUCKER

TFA was perceptor, G1 is Sky/Jetfire, PRIME is shockwave (after that waist grab), wheeljack.

If you smart Starscream wants to fuck you stupid

Wait so if Starscream is also a nerd in many continuities does that mean he's also his own type

Would he fuck another version of himself

That new Music video huh?…

Some SG!Skystar warmups as I plan to draw more Skystar- 😭😭😭

[ugly-bug-starscream]

Is that how Starscream and Jetfire perhaps met? Nexus being Jetfires dad and Starscream working for the Primes?

I can imagine Nexus seeing one of his employees having a little crush on his son and being like “ohoho intriguing”

HSKDHHSBD omg I love that! It’s a very similar idea me and edd had!

So Skyfire has been appointed head scientist and often gets consulted by the Primes, for his expertise (I bet now that Nexus will say that Skyfire is just simply the greatest scientist-)

So how I imagine it would go is that Nexus would have concerns that Skyfire working so close with the Primes would put him in potential danger.. and Megatronus suggests he will appoint one of his best warriors to be a personal guard for when the Primes are not there.. and that ends up being Starscream.

They were awkward when meeting because Megatronus practically grabbed them and put them together DHHDDNV so Starscream follows along Skyfire if he goes anywhere public so they naturally start to get to know each other, bonding over their shared interest for science.. and it’s not long after that they start developing a crush for each other heheheh

[buffrobotsimp]

yea!!! Especially skystar in continuities where starscream and sky/jetfire have completely different backstories and characters (looks at cyberverse)

I'm starting to dispise skystar, the fans have absolutely ruined the ship for me. They act like the ship is canon when they have spent around 10 minutes together, and half of it is trying to kill each other. The more it gets popular the more I can't stand it, even when I block the tag I can't escape it. It's the only ship I have such negative feelings on in the tf Fandom

This fandom really does have to get better about tagging stuff properly.
