constructiprowl for ship bingo mayhaps?

Of course you pick one that’s in my grey area 🙄🙄 (joking) This ship is a weird one for me. I have read multiple multichaptered fics on this, and while I did end up enjoying their relationships and rooting for them to be together it’s not really my thing. Unlike a lot of my other ships it’s not something I actively seek out it’s just something that’s there. I like the relationship dynamic with the cons spoiling Prowl and I do think they all look cute together but eh?? I see the appeal and I do think more people should like this ship - it’s just not something I get excited about. Also happy birthday Artie :)

1, 3, 13, 14, 18, and/or 20 (whatever combination you want) for Retrograde, Sunspot and/or Blackout:>

[x]

1.What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character? I've had Sunspot and co for the longest time, sunspot is actually my first every tf oc from when i was a preteen that i've been slowly developing over the years on the side as a little thing. I don't really remember Why i made them? I think i just liked planes tbh 3.What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality, or their role in the story? Personality and story for literally all of them, I had their general relationships, character dynamics and personalities down for YEARS before i started messing with their story (which isn't like 100% solid tbh). And only last year did i actually design them or finally settle on names (i jumped between a couple options all with the same vibes for the last couple years) 13.Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like? Hmmmmm not really any voice claims. But i i do imagine what they sound like! i imagine sunspot has a very comforting voice, but like assertive, they have a lot of character and charm when they talk and are good at using it to their advantage. Retrograde sounds just like a guy, they have the most just Normal voice for someone in the world. And Blackout is selectively mute, so they don't really talk. When they do, it's very soft in both tone and volume. 14.Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them? Nope sorry, I tend to not really do that lol 18.Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story? Sunspot's Wonderful Horrible sons! I could write an essay about sunspot, his son,s and their weird relationship with retrograde and blackout. And also I have a bunch of side characters from when the trine met in school as young adults! I also have some other characters as blackout had a trine previously and sunspot had 3 other bots he was very close to, including chance's biological creator. 20.Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about Sunspot has so much lore GOD also here's some weird personal headcanons i have for how Bonds work, trines and more (vaguely touching on some of my specific sparkling headcanons) On the subject of trine and bonds.

Bonds are a literal attachment between two or more mech that can either just always be there (sparktwins, some combiners etc), form naturally (sparklings) or be made (sparkmates, conjunx endura, amica endura) It doesn't really do much but give mechs an inherit sense of where another bot is, how they are doing and how they are feeling. They need to be made.

Bonds maintained or they fade Trine are just type of social unit common among jets etc. It can mean a wild variety of things and there are different types of trine. True trines have a physical link with each other to share cpu and processor power as well as to communicate other than comms, etc, its considered a very big commitment and not something thats super common anymore as it's not really necessary and can have major drawbacks. (such physical contentions are much more common among combiner and host bots and their teams etc)

Most trines however are just mech that like flying together/and work well and it's not necessary to have a trine.

Sunspot and his trinemates are a true trine and sparkmates, they speed ran their relationship and decided to become a true trine before even really understanding their whole feelings for each other. (like in general, not just in a romantic sense, they are idiots you see. they basically decided they were maybe friends and then had a shotgun wedding that involved surgery, they didn't get together romantically till Years after that around when skysong was transitioning from mobile orb to mechling, and took even longer to sparkbond) and it caused most people around them Extreme stress, worked out fine tho, thankfully because it's very difficult to undo that. While sparklings can and do bond with muliple bots its very much, not a controlled thing. Even bots that are directly involved in kindling a sparking don't always form a bond with a sparkling if their spark frequencies don't line up etc. The metal orbs are choosy Sunspots trine members (who I haven't drawn mostly because most of the content/thoughts have for them are very separate from the brothers and are prewar when rn I'm focusing in current universe stuff) We're involved somewhat in raising all three and would be considered family but

sunspot already had chance by the time that first met/and was past the literal bonding stage. But chance is probably the closest to them and I have him canonly flying with them in combat since chance doesn't have a trine and sunspot is Very bad at aeriel combat. They get along, they aren't second parents but they are family and they get along

skysong just Didn't end up forming a bond with them they just didn't click. They were very involved with him but just like the rest of the family they haven't seen him, are on weird terms since he deflected

momentum was such an angry orb that technically even sunspot doesn't even have a literal bond with him, sunspot just refused to leave him to his own devices /the wilds and was even more stubborn. He loved his feral cat of a son who kept biting him. His trine are probably least close to him simple because he really didn't fully chill till he was a mechling but they still care about him

I could go on but i am going to stop myself

Anyway GO LOOK AT OUR FRIEND'S CUTE ART!!!!!!!

[cyber-streak-2]

(random question) who’s your Second favorite oc of yours ? (If u can’t pick, then in terms of how much u think of them, maybe?)

I don’t think I really have a second favorite. I know my main favorite, for now, is probably Steamsight, though. He always kinda has been.

I guess another main favorite, but not really the second, would probably be Geo or Percy.

Thank you @artisfox and mystery anon for your interest in my sparkling Antifreeze! Here he is meeting his uncles, who love him and he loves them <3

apologies if tumblr makes the quality look crunchy :/

[cyber-streak-2]

ummm Spinflight(I like that name) and desire for the not-so-nice oc asks?

Spinflight. Honestly, I love this OC, although I’ve sort of been trying to do some work on him because I haven’t focused on him all that much.

So, while at the moment I’m not too sure about his desire(s)—at least the more main ones, I do know that he’d be open to really any desire of his, and that he’d be willing to do almost anything to fulfill said desire.
