Realized that my (non Skulduggery Pleasant AU) human versions of Optimus and Ratchet would have been in their early 20's in the 1980s. Made a joke that they'd have the same haircuts as the guys from Modern Talking, along with a picture to demonstrate. My friend @train-whistles-at-night thought the image I chose was funny and asked that I draw them based on said image.

[Image ID: A digital drawing of younger human versions of Optimus and Ratchet from TFP. They are in their early 20s, pictured in the 1980s, as can be seen by their hair and clothes. Ratchet is drawn as a pale-skinned white man with freckles and ginger hair. His eyes are teal and he has dark spots under his eyes, along with smudged black eyeliner. He is smiling, showing his teeth, and has a bandage on his left cheek. His hair is styled in a mullet, and he is wearing a white button-up and a baggy brown leather jacket. His trousers aren't visible. He has one hand on his chin, showing his bloody knuckles. Optimus is standing behind him, with one hand on his shoulder, showing his knuckles are also bloody. He is drawn as a young middle-eastern man with light brown skin and dark eyes with sectoral heterochromia, partially blue and partially brown. He is smiling, showing his teeth. His hair is black and very long, and has been curled to be very fluffy. He is wearing a red sweater whose sleeves have been rolled up, blue trousers and a red belt. The background is blue. The artist's signature, Silverior968, is overlayed over the image in blue. / End ID]
