Stardrive is the saddest woobie to ever grace Transformers media and I want to protect her so badly. Nobody has ever loved her, and she’s barely been shown respect or recognized as a person. I reread the whole mini today and I remembered she was very sad but the depths of sadness she experiences still got me. And she’s only five years old!! I wanna see her school days and her adventures before meeting Prowl. I want her to show up in another continuity. She deserves the world!

Half wraith form under the cut for original requester

I am still alive 😭 🙏🏻

Title idea; “Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves” and yes, I am Epic the Musical fangirl trash but it’s so good 😭

Ohhhhhhhhh, I saw that animation for that song with animation of Poseidon, and I don't blame you!

One, a TFP!Other fic that's told from the perspective of a grandmother that's trying to remain civil with Megatron in a farce of semi-decent relationship for her granddaughter. The child is a hybrid in many ways that neither Grandma nor Megatron are equipped to solely deal with. She is not a kind nor sweet individual. Too much grief and loss had scarred her soul as she came from a time when legends and myth openly roam the lands. The only child to survive into adulthood, the only one she managed to keep... dies in from childbirth complications on the Nemesis due to the Decepticons not fully understanding the effects of fae/human physiology. Grandma is only held back by her granddaughter, and if that child ever goes missing...

Think of that character as an embodiment of "Kings have honor, soldiers have courage, and poets have heart. But all I have is rage."

Two, IDW/MTMTE AU where the unholy alliance between the Black Block Consortia and reformed Quintesson Empire as they experimented with the scattered remains of Dire Wraiths. The Solstar Order joins the growing coalition of mechanicals and organics against them. Now, Stardrive gets to meet the place of her origins and face the truths, lies, and misinformation about Cybertronians and how she fits in the picture, especially when Caminus' flames beckons to her. (In which, the Lost Colonies did not have peaceful existences, Stardrive is caught between the culture that raised her with specific expectations and the culture that embraces the best and worst aspects that of being Cybertronian, and the Camiens go eat Quintessons.)

Three, a Shattered Glass TFP!Other fic where the Darbys is swept up in an unfortunate chase by the Autobots as the Matrix obsessively tracks the faint remains of Primal traces left by Megatronus Prime. June must confront the secrets left by her lineage, find her footing across Elsewhere and Earth, and decide what lengths she's willing to go to in order to keep herself and Jack safe from Optimus' Matrix-derived pursuit and bewitchment. If Megatronus Prime was the only one who could truly stand alone against Prima, and Optimus is the current Champion ordained by the Light... What is she willing to sacrifice to obtain the Prime of Chaos, the Breaker's, protection?

Let's build an Autobot team!

"The Dark Horse" is to refer to a character that fans weren't expected to be familiar with that the creator is trying to give some limelight to or a brand new character! Like Bulkhead in TFA or Flamewar and Geomotus in IDW2019! There are some lesser known characters throughout the poll, but let's have a guaranteed. So!

The other polls: Leader, Kid Appeal, Medic, Scientist/Engineer, Warrior, "The Girl", Brute

Coeli's Picks: Men, part 3 (Dishonorable Mention)

Just in time for April Fool's Day, here are some truly eyebrow-raising and head-scratching costumes. I know neither of these shows had a huge budget, but that's no excuse.

Coeli's comments:

"If I had to look at them, so do you!"

Blake's 7 (s4e4, "Stardrive")

"Punk space pirates who totally fail to come across as menacing:"

Doctor Who (s10 e5, "Carnival of Monsters") / Leslie Dwyer as Vorg (and Cheryl Hall as Shirna)

No seriously, why is his costume Fruit Loops?

happy children’s day!!!(?

What is the story of stardrive in idw2019?

Dear Stardrive Seeker,

Not all newly-forged Cybertronians spend their early lives on Cybertron—always, there are those Cybertronians born with an instinctual thirst for adventure, who yearn to venture beyond the confines of their metallic homeworld. Thus, in the years following the War of the Threefold Spark, the Cybertronian government authorized the creation of a cultural exchange program between the Cybertronian commonwealth and some friendly galactic neighbors, an incentive program where newly forged Cybertronians could study abroad on a diverse range of planets, assimilating the local culture and language as part of a possible career in Xeno-Relations.

I should comment, briefly, on the history of the Solstar Order—it originated corewards of Cybertron, not far from the barricaded region of space known as the “Quintessence”, and expanded outwards not through conquest, but by carefully negotiating trade agreements and alliances with alien civilizations and gradually building a strong federation of many diverse species: Elonians, Intriessians, Karkans, and more. By the era of the Nominus Edict, the borders of the Solstar Order nearly bumped up against remote Cybertronian colonies like Velocitron and Omicron. Despite their proximity, the two star-nations had only ever enjoyed a strained relationship. The Solstar Order consolidated much of its recent power by absorbing the defeated remnants of other empires, smashed to bits by Cybertronian hegemony—in particular, a large contingent of Szorian refugees who’d seen their homeworld obliterated by the Titan Waypoint eyed the Transformers with a deep and abiding distrust. More recently, tensions flared when unscrupulous elements of the Cybertronian government conspired with the ambitious Natalus to abruptly declare that the planet Probat was a Cybertronian colony, despite the fact that no Cybertronians lived there—deliberately smashing years of careful accession agreements that would’ve seen the citizens of Probat join their galactic government.

Into this already-tense environment came Stardrive—already a model mentee with a rare triple-changing bodyframe, a knack for languages, and eying a possible career in Xeno-Relations—who announced that she would like to study abroad on the planet Elonia. The request, while highly unusual, went through, and before long Stardrive had arrived in Solstar space and enrolled in a xeno-linguistics program on the planet Ofsted XVII, with a minor in astro-navigation. Although she faced prejudice and even outright discrimination from many of her organic classmates—and indeed, more than one lecture hall had to be renovated so that she could fit into their classrooms—Stardrive persevered.

One day, Stardrive and her class were on a field trip to monitor the unique phenomenon known as the “Quintessence”, a seemingly insurmountable barrier of electrical energy that prevented the Solstar Order from expanding any closer to the galactic core. Suddenly, while monitoring the phenomenon aboard an orbital research station, Stardrive witnessed a bizarre astrological phenomenon: what appeared to be a nebula somehow shifted into a massive portal that crackled with arcane power, a gateway through which a new kind of shapeshifting lifeform came to attack their vessel! The creatures, their slug-like bodies immune to conventional weaponsfire, easily breached the station’s hull and devoured many of the beings inside. Those who survived were infected with toxic biomatter and converted into more of their kind. However, the invaders hadn’t prepared to deal with a Cybertronian, whose mechanical biology rendered her immune to their necrotic touch, and whose tight-beam plasma blasters could simply burn through their arcane biology. Fighting her way through the hordes, Stardrive piled as many students as she could—including their professor, Rom K’atsema—into her space fighter alternate mode, then beat a hasty retreat as the station exploded behind her.

By the time Stardrive limped back to Elonia, it soon became clear that the Solstar Order faced a grave crisis. The “Dire Wraiths”, as they were now called, had launched coordinated invasions of outlying worlds like Xeres and Buras, and lightly-armed planetary garrisons had already been overwhelmed. Although the Solstar Order’s celebrated diplomatic corps had long since assumed that they could defuse any problem with negotiations, it soon became clear that they were fighting an enemy that had no obvious means of communications, and would accept nothing less than total extinction. It soon became clear that the Solstar Order would need something new to combat the hordes… and, eventually, all eyes fell upon the one Cybertronian in their midst.

Before long, Solstar scientists had gathered enough firsthand testimony and video recordings to draw up a weapon capable of meeting the aliens head-on: a full-body suit of armor forged from artificially-synthesized cybertonium that would be cybernetically grafted to one’s skin, equipped with a plasma-blasting “neutralizer” powered by a miniature energon reactor. While the scientists referred to their creation as merely an “anti-Wraith battle armor”, it was Rom who joked that the suit resembled the knights of old—and so it was he who volunteered to become the first organic to undergo the procedure, and emerge as “Rom, the Space Knight!” Inspired by his example, other courageous members of the Solstar Order stepped up to undergo the process, and over time the efforts of these “Space Knights”, supported by Stardrive herself, gradually helped push the Wraiths back.

It soon became clear that Stardrive couldn’t fight alone; fortunately, the Cybertronian embassy on Elonia was able to pull the strings that would allow Sentinel Prime to authorize the deployment of the Wreckers on the technicality that the Dire Wraiths posed a threat to Cybertronian territory—namely, their embassy on Elonia. Supported by a hundred Space Knights, Stardrive and the Wreckers took part in the effort to take back Xeres, which had, by this point, been turned into a grotesque hive-world where billions of fast-breeding Wraiths reproduced. Their victory was pyrrhic; they were able to cut off the primary source of the infestation, but only by destroying the planet and scattering millions of Wraiths across their member worlds. The Solstar Order would have to prepare for a protracted war against the alien infiltrators, who'd already put down roots on dozens of planets—but Stardrive, honorary Space Knight, gladly agreed to support the Space Knights in their quest.

What if Stardrive appears in Earthspark?

Stardrive is a transformer that appears in the comics. Her story begins with her being a protoform. The ship where she was traveling was attacked and only she survived.

She was rescued by the space knights. She was raised away from her kind. She knew she was a transformer thanks to the education she received from her rescuers, as well as how she learned the history of the species from her.

This made Stardrive the first Transformer to be raised away from her kind and by other beings.

In Earthspark I imagine her as a newborn Terran who was unfortunately found by someone else. Either by bad people or by another human child.

In case she was found by another good human child. The Maltos would know that something is wrong because they would not stop feeling strange emotions that do not come from the Terrans at home, so they would suspect that one is missing.

Stardrive, like Twitch and Thrash, would learn about her species thanks to Transformers comics but would feel that there was something different about her.

At some point it would be discovered by GHOST or Mandroid. Or perhaps in a battle she meets her family who would welcome her with pleasure.

Meet Stardrive

Full Name: Spaceknight Cadet Stardrive of the Solstar Order

Date of Protoform Generation: Elos 19th, 4017 (Which by our calculations is roughly Mon 07 / Dei 19 / 1480AH)

Favourite Colour: Silver

Hobbies/Likes: Finding out new things of Cybertronian culture, living up to the ideals of the Spaceknights that came before her, proving herself more then just a machine.

Dislikes/Fears: Finding out new things of Cybertronian culture, not living up to the Spaceknights' example, being dismissed as just a machine.

-Stardrive's protoform was first uncovered by the Solstar Order after an incident involving a Decepticon starcruiser (presumably) and as such it was a hot debate as to how Stardrive could fit into the power structures of the Solstar Order. In the time it has taken her to reach the Cybertronian equivalent of young adulthood, the Solstar Order had opened relations with the Cybertronian Commonwealth for her sake and her sake alone.

-Prior to arriving on Acadeimos, Stardrive had to be recharged through an improvised Energon Generator. In fact, the very idea that she could regain energy by consuming energon-infused matter was novel to her, and she quickly developed a rather ravenous appetite. This might've been shocking had the cook who served her on that first day not have started out serving fuel to Energon Miners on Messatine and thus was familiar with such unfamiliarity.

-In addition to the usual classes of her grade, Stardrive is spending quite a bit of time learning about Cybertronian cultural practices… but she can't help but find easy comparisons between such practices and those of cultures present within the Solstar Order, a phenomenon that almost consistently puzzles her.

It's in the extra side comic crossover with ROM focusing on Stardrive, sweet baby girl, who's raised away from her species (she was a lost Camien protoform) by a group that thanks all Cybertronians are inherently monstrous and that's how she's taught to view them. They do raise her with their other kids though and give her a giant handmade alien teddy bear which is adorable. I love my girl. She becomes part Dire Wraith and the ultimate poor little wet cat energy.

Ohhh okay, wait now that I think of it I'm thinking I've 100% seen a picture of her and like yes

[geartrain-prime]

Did Stardrive commit a war crime, or was she just reasonably accused of one?

"in tf fandom EVERYONE'S fave is a war criminal"

false and i can prove it:
