#TFA Chromia

autobots are totally rad

TFA: Ariel/Elita 1's Squadron, Team Orthia

I fell down the wiki rabbit hole last night and now I have these.

Everyone's heights are off/going to change in the future because I wasn't sure on everyone's alts when I was first drawing out the line up.

I mostly just wanted to get ideas down on paper.

COMMISSIONS OPEN

Transcript of my Handwriting Plus Other Lore:

Nothing here’s set in stone I just wrote down ideas/compiled thoughts as they came to me.

edit: Changed Lancer’s Profile Info to match new ideas I have

TFA: Sheild of Solus

Operation: Failsafe

Purpose: To sabotage any and all Decipticon efforts of gaining any headway in this war. First, start off with the infiltrators, next, hit them where it hurts.

After discovering a spy had infiltrated their ranks, Alpha Trion took it upon himself to assemble a team to sabotage any Decipticon efforts to gain a foothold on Cybertron, hoping that they would be able to counter any threats on Cybertron.

Ariel/Elita-1

Commander and the Leader

High-ranking member of the Elite Guard

Alpha Trion’s inside eyes

Alt Mode: Cybertronian Heavy Duty Truck -> Monster Truck

Special Upgrade: Classified

Good-Morningstar Mace: Morning star with detachable head

Laser Kusarigama: This weighted chain serves Elita well when she needs to tie up the enemy (or retrieve your teammate as her gravity fluctuates again)

Tidbit: One of the few of the Elite Guard to not have gone to the Academy, Elita rose through the ranks through her skill and ingenuity, despite other’s misgivings. A bit rough around the edges, she is always there for her fellow bots. When her former mentor requested her aid in his mission, she had no hesitation joining. (It helped that it got her away from her more tiresome coworkers)  

Chromia

Second in Command

Recon Specialist, Infiltrator

Former Intelligence Officer; she retired when she was not allowed to investigate Highbrows abrupt disappearance and opened a private investigator business.

Alt Mode: Cybertronian Trike -> Trike (like Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra)

Special Upgrade: Lockpick: with enough time she can pick any lock and hack into any systems with the extensions in her servos. However, this can takes a lot of her processing power and leaves her vulnerable.

Laser Sabre: Good for clashing blades and slipping between the seams of an enemy’s armor

Tidbit: Despite her worrying over her teammates, Chromia has a habit of diving helm first into her work with little disregard for herself, whether that be forgetting to refuel and recharge or tempting fate with more self-sacrificial tendencies. She’s been working on it, but bad habits die hard…

Novastar

Search and Rescue, Transportation and Retrieval

Served in the tail-end of the Great War

Worked previously in Search and Rescue with her partners Inferno and Red Alert

Through this line of work, she developed extensive connections.

AltMode: Cybertronian Truck -> Narrowbed Truck

Special Upgrade: Furnace: Nova is able to generate massive bursts of flame, and she has refined the practice into an art. The flames on her head are no only an aesthetic choice, but an outlet for the excess heat she generates. These are easily extinguished; a fact Inferno took great joy in abusing the damn firetruck bot.

Blowtorch: During her time in field during the Great War, Nova lost her left servo to a Decpticon when retrieving soldiers from behind enemy lines. She had it replaced with a blowtorch prothesis that allows her to pinpoint flames to temperatures that can cut through even the toughest of materials- temperatures that otherwise would melt her frames

Tidbit: Novastar has been trying to locate Inferno, who has recently gone MIA after responding to an off-planet distress beacon with a new recruit with little to no luck. She is hoping the new job title will grant her greater resources to expand her search.

Greenlight

Engineer

“The Miracle Worker”

A student of WheelJack’s

Greenlight’s inventions can be brilliantly or devastating (or if she’s lucky) both. She tends to get attached to her devices, however, and gets rather despondent when they are broken or do not work as intended.

Aloof, she doesn’t see the need to waste much time with small talk. It requires a bot with a lot of patience (and ability to pester) to get her to come out of her shell

Alt Mode: Cybertronian Offroader

Special Upgrade: Tasers: Though not a combat bot, Greenlight saw fit to mod herself out with some decent defense. The tasers stored in her arms can generate enough volts of electricity that can through bots thrice her size flat on their backs.

Boom Cannon: A weapon still in its testing phases, she has been building it up from stolen Decepticon specs in her free time.

Tidbit: If asked, Greenlight will say that she agreed to sign up to get out of community service for accidentally demoing a perfectly good lab with one of her inventions. While partly true, a larger part of why she joined was because she didn’t want Lancer doing this alone.

Lancer [Edited]

Researcher

Unofficial Medic

Student of Perceptor

Alt Mode: n/a, missing T-Cog

Special Upgrade: FlipScreen: her “skirt” doubles as computers, monitor and keyboard included. This grants her access to ALL of her files and more importantly allows her to run any necessary scans, analysis, or algorithms she needs when or wherever she needs. It is also a bold fashion statement

BackPack Variety Hour: She has a variety of “backpacks” each serving different purposes, though if you ask anyone but Lancer they all look identical. Despite their incredible weight, she carries them with ease.

Backup Generator: Via the generator on her back, she could keep a city fully powered without straining her spark. Most of this energy goes into the powering the extra processors she has stored in her “skirt”

Star Splitter: a powerful laser spear, though she more often then not uses it for pole vaulting than actual combat

Tidbit: Lancer has been a researcher for the Autobots for longer than many bots have been alive, mostly regarding projects Ultra Magnus would rather not go public. Despite the JetTwins being by far the most successful of these endeavors, Lancer quit shortly after. When Alpha Trion offered her a more savory research position with Twam Orthia she was quick to accept and get out from Ultra Magnus’ thumb.

Moonracer

Sharpshooter/Sniper

“Best in the Whole Galaxy!”

Graduated top of her classes at the Autobot Academy but has struggled to keep a longterm position due to her impulsive behavior, with her last job being messenger-bot for Security.

Alt Mode: Cybertron Compact Car -> Vector W8

Special Upgrade: Internal Gravity Manipulator: As labelled on the tin, she has the ability to shift her gravity, decreasing AND increasing. Typically, she uses this to “float” or “moon walk”. The change in gravity can be extended to objects she comes into direct contact, but maintaining it drains her very quickly.

Velicotron Build: Speedster Though not as fast as the infamous Blurr, Moonracer is incredibly quick both as a bot and her alt form. Combine this with her gravity-defying abilities leads to some devastating results.

Custom Ion Pistols: Dual pistols that can combine into her sniper rifle.

Tidbit: Moonracer is a good bot with a good head on her shoulders. She will always do what she thinks is right- but she tends to jump the gun on things which gets her into trouble. With inexperience comes naivety, but how is she supposed to learn anything if nobody gives her a chance to do anything?

Late Commissions post 👀✨

[knight-a3]

The female autobots. Shockwave thought they were extinct.

Elita One: Amelia Webb

I didn't think of names for the others, so I'm open to ideas. Commentary under the cut

I know it isn't all of them, but I picked the ones that seemed most prominent. If they didn't have any official/semi-official tfa designs(or if I thought I had a better idea), I tried my best to give them one.

First, Elita-One. I decided to tweak her "what-if" Elita Prime design, to try to make it so I could consistently draw it at various angles.

Second, one of the All-Spark Almanacs had a Chromia head design and I didn't have the drive to do more than that. There was also a design for Flareup/Firestar/Novastar/whatever her name is. It seemed like she went through a couple of names over the years. I sorta like Firestar, because Flareup sounds like a recurring skin condition.

Finally, Moonracer, who seems like the Bumblebee of the group.

I don’t know how to tag this but I just did a photoshoot with my tf figures

Personally like my decepticon photos better and it’s just because most of them are just better looking and because my tarn costed so much and looks so good

Any tips for taking photos are welcomed and greatly appreciated if others would be willing to give them

Chapter 13: Rising above the Water

I’m back with Chapter 13!

This chapter is about:

Them sitting on the deck of Nemesis talking about Optimus’s past. Megatron points out elephant that fills up the room, presenting Optimus a harsh truth: he might have played a hero for too long to the point that he moves no one but himself.

Excerpt:

“Oh, isn’t it obvious? you have a tendency to jump in and take on responsibilities when they are not your own. You always want to be that one bot who can save the day. And you make it very clear that you are willing to bear the cost alone, whatever that cost may be. This has allowed Blackarachnia to continue viewing you as her knight in shining armor, always willing to protect and save her from whatever harm is coming her way.” Megatron says with a smile, which shows a little bit of contempt in Optimus’s optics. For some reason, Optimus feels he is seriously stung.

Notes:

I am never a fan of Batman/Catwoman romance like the tfa playright.

the Sillays

I love these women so much

for a rough idea of everyone’s ages/generations: Elita, Chromia, and Moonracer were molded post-war while the other’s were during, or in Lancer’s case Pre

Lancer is the oldest at about Ultra Magnus’ age,

Greenlight is the same generation as Arcee and Ratchet (older than Arcee younger than Ratchet). She was a draft dodger that got caught and recruited into weapons development.

Novastar is actually the same model year as Prowl; in the last generation to at the tail end of the Great War.

Elita Prime is in Optimus/Sentinel/Blackarachnia’s generation though she’s a bit older (she would have been the equivalent of the grade above them in the academy)

Chromia is Blurr and Cliffjumper’s age: they were that in-between generation between Optimus/Sentinel’s and Bumblebee/Bulkheads

Moonracer just barely makes the cutoff for Chromia’s generation- and is the youngest both of her team and her model year

Random notes

Blackarachnia: Catwoman, Ariel/Elita Prime: Wonderwoman

Chromia has a habit of doodling in the margins of her notes, despite her insistence on orderly note keeping

Lancer has (unwilling) undergone several frame operations, mostly during the peak of war at orders of her superiors. Only recently has she been able to start modding her self back. Greenlight’s helping her with that.

Due to her overcharged spark, Moonracer is prone to generating more energy than her frame can handle. This can cause her to automatically go into stasis mode to preserve her processors, so it’s not uncommon for her to pass out in random places when she holds still for too long

My current Animated collection is practically non-existent so I was forced to make do with what was available

[megaeagle-11032001]

[sileneofthemoon]

Took a picture of all the femmes in my collection so far! I’ll soon get a new girly also!

I also have a little cyberverse windblade but I couldn’t add her sadly. I’ll be posting all my mechs soon which will probably require a two part post lol.

[sug4r-melon]

okay yes dragons running around detroit is really funny but also consider Sari stowing away to their continent
