#Tfp Predaking

[jaysdoodlehell]

Nature hunt!

Another collaboration with @kingborb ! :3

This time a scrapbook piece of Predaking and Shadowground exploring Earth's nature and connecting to their beast sides together! Shadow is always happy to learn new things and explore, while Predaking enjoys the time he can spend with someone who he considers his brethren... or at least a genetical cousin ;3

Shockwave obviously using the opportunity to force the two to bring him more test samples XD

Here is how the whole spread looks like :3

Excuse Predaking causing the forest fire... he just sneezed...

Thinking of Predaking, his alt mode is a dragon so I’m sure it’s a classic of him having two spikes.

But this also means two anterior nodes.

Twice the fun for everyone involved.

Some blushy faces with the TFP Decepticons! (u v u)

And here is the last part

Predaking - Oh, my fiery boy! I have so much to say about him…

He was probably the main reason I got into the Transformers fandom when I was a kid. My thoughts were like: It's a dragon! And a robot at the same time!? And he turns into a hot looking man!?! *mind blown*

Of course, over time I realized that behind the beautiful cover, he was a rather naive and very foolish character with a storyline too much like Dreadwing's. But despite all this, I still love him. Predaking is a real gem of the third season, and perhaps the coolest character in the entire series, and you can’t deny it!

In the WOF version, he is a resurrected dragon from the extinct skywing tribe. Being the largest dragons in this AU, their tribe was the most powerful on the continent until it completely died out due to a wave of cataclysms.

So, Predaking is a real giant compared to other characters. And, in the final addition, he is firescales! Because it’s BADASS!🔥

(and actually, because he gives me pretty strong Peril vibes)

Unfortunately I couldn't give him a bright color, so his firescales nature is shown through glowing areas on his body, creating the effect that he is literally burning from the inside. I also just noticed that his face looks very much like a skull, and I tried to pay attention to this in the design by giving him dark spots around the eye sockets and nostrils

Hardshell - I don’t wanna draw some random insecticon, so I chose this guy. Here I will be short. He’s appears in only two episodes and died almost immediately. He’s more of a plot tool than a real character

His stripes look cool, but drawing them wasn’t easy at all (I hate floating shapes). I wanted to make him look more like his beetle form, adding a big front horn and green plates on his neck. I also think that insecticons should be more different in coloring in this version

Skyquake - Same story - appeared in one episode - died in the same episode. Most of the fandom remembers him only as a zombie from the shadow dimension, and it's kind of sad. I believe he had potential. I always imagined Skyquake as the "brawn" in a duet with his brother, while Dreadwing was more of the "brain". And it would be great if we were shown this contrast, giving Skyquake a chance to prove himself in at least a couple of episodes

His design is, as expected, almost the same as his brother, but I still decided to add some small differences in details to make it more interesting

Vehicons - STEEEEEEVES!

I like these silly dudes)

I didn't want to make them actual clones or something, so here they're just regular nightwings and icewings, but they may look the same because of the iron masks that hide their faces. Like many other dragons, they are victims of a war they may not have wanted to participate in. Actually, in that case their deaths don’t seems so meaningless and even give the autobots actions a darker subtext (although I believe in the theory that they could simply pretend to be dead on the battlefield (I really want to believe in that))

I know there are still a few possible undrawn characters left, like Skylynx and Darksteel or Unicron, but that's probably enough for me. I'm happy with my closed gestalt)

Where the vehicons share energon and a story with the predacons.

I had a vision at 1 am

and a bonus one just for Oppy bc I could

[transformers-spike]

Starscream: What do you need that much lube for?

Predaking: You know why.

Have you seen that one container of lube? It's like. A 1000 liters. He has at least 10 of those. Overkill? Definitely. But he has to make sure it won't hurt, he has to, he'd sooner rip out his own spark than hurt them

Predaking: Should I-

Y/N: You don't need to dip my lower half into the lube

Maybe a cursed idea but maybe he can morph to be small enough to fit into the cube. Do you see where I'm going with this. It's like bathtub sex but instead of water it's just lube

I had no idea this was an option but holy shit. Bathtub lube sex... my mind has been blown Bro knows humans are extremely fragile, and he's... well he's extremely powerful by Cybertronian standards - so watch him stress himself out over this.

[deja-mew]

theory time/thinking aloud

My theory is that maybe the Allspark can let sparks go out if someone is cloned close enough- Since it isn’t able to work in making new cybertronians naturally because of ..being in a jar LOL!

Basically I only think this is possible because of how many times the Allspark must have had to let a spark return to it while being in that jar. So many Cybertronians died after the planet was destroyed and the Reliquary of the Primes was sent out- So if it can take a spark in it might be able to let them out if it wants to.

I don’t research or anything, I just like to daydream and fill in the blanks myself, so I wonder if I’m dead wrong. But it would be really cool if someone knew…….

The reason why I wonder this so hard is because I’m writing an AU where the Predacons are FULLY restored, as in, they’re able to emerge out of and return back into the Well and the Allspark again, just like everyone else. So if that were to happen, would another version of Predaking be created? Or would the Predaking we know be able to legitimize himself somehow? He has to have a spark now, right? But if it isn’t the original, then what?? Yknow what I mean? Is he really Predaking???

I would love to brainstorm with somebody because this has been on my mind for months, and no one I know IRL is as fixated on the Predacons as I am to care :””””

Transformers: Prime Decepticons - Hands

So, I was looking at hands, as one does when they’re bored, and I noticed a few things:

Every single ‘Con has claws, except Soundwave and Breakdown.

Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, Dreadwing, Skyquake, Knockout, and Airachnid have 5 fingers.

Soundwave, Breakdown, Insecticons, Predaking, Darksteel, and Skylynx have 4 fingers.

Vehicons only have 3 fingers.

Predacon claws are flawless in form and aesthetic.

While I know Soundwave has spindly fingers for practical reasons, it’s the perfect symbolic representation of how he declawed himself for the sake of the Cause, giving up much of his power to follow Megatron.

Kudos to the character designers for crafting each Decepticon’s hands to match their function:

Megatron, Dreadwing, Skyquake: Sharp and wide for various combat situations

Soundwave: Thin and straight for work with computers and tech

Starscream: Light and “bony,” perfect for a flight frame

Shockwave, Knockout, and Airachnid: Sharp and delicate for scientific and/or medical work

Breakdown: Wide and blunt for brute force attacks

Vehicons: Useless

Insecticons: Wide and curved for digging and slashing

Predacons: Sharp with additional armor plating for evisceration (help I love this word so much)

The Autobots could only dream of having hands this masterfully crafted ✨

[nezumysh]

Predaking does not get enough fandom love.

How can anyone not find this man gorgeous?

[ramunaee]

[discountsurgery]

whatever. predaking be upon ye

[jeweltonejules]

Heading further away in bot mode, he chose a quieter place to sit and shut his eyes, though he could still hear the banging of construction.

Completed commission for @emperor-kumquat for his game Mercy.

This was definitely a challenge. I’d never drawn tfp characters before and I think he’s the most complicated one 😂 I loved working on this though

[greensoulmay]

Things to know:

1. Predaking is homeschooled.

2. Shockwave often falls while walking down the stairs.
