@artsy-hobbitses Here is he, the boy, the gremlin, the feral critter, I named... Cliffjumper!

If Ben and Claude decided to swap their clothes, nobody would notice the difference… until Claude starts spouting Cajun insults and charging through the enemy lines with a gun three times his size. Claude is often defined by his urge to fight, his stubbornness, his daredevil personality, and his habit of literally jumping off cliffs (giving numerous heart attacks to his teammates), hence the nickname “Cliffjumper”.

Hanley/Hot Rod: Yeah, you’re definitely related. Claude/Cliff & Ben/Bee: Cause we look like each other? Hanley: *raises an eyebrow since he saw Ben knee someone in the balls and Claude bite someone else’s nose* Sure. That.

Having grown up in an all female household, he finds it pretty normal to wear skirts (and they’re waaaaay more comfortable and practical). During his calmer moments, he likes to settle down and mend his clothes (often torn because of his running and climbing), just like his grannies taught him. People meeting him for the first time often mistake him for a girl, which he absolutely adores and he decides to see how long before they actually realize on their own; it took a whole week for the rebellion to notice and he finds it hilarious (he could simply tell them but… nah).

He’s also a very good bait.

Starscream: What the hell are you wearing. Cliffjumper, with a very frilly, glittery, neon-colored dress: It’s my ass-kicking outfit, BITCH *effectively acts as a distraction, drawing fire away from the rest of the troops*

Although he pretends to be annoyed when people mistake him for Bee, he will go feral if anyone threatens his half-brother and, over time, starts to view him as the sibling he never had.

(He also definitely encourages Bee to release his inner gremlin)

More of his story below!

Jean Claude Frugé, or simply Claude for his friends and family, was born of a Cajun mother — as for his sperm donor, he is an “holiday souvenir”, and the one thing he shares with Benjamin/Bumblebee, making them half-brothers.

When his mother, Lucienne, discovered she was pregnant, she dropped her dream studies so she could keep the baby. To this day, Claude still feels like he wasted his mother’s life, and tries to “make it up” for her, no matter how much she told him it was unnecessary.

Claude was raised between the bayou, the rice fields and the farms of Louisiana by an army of aunts, grandmothers, grandaunts, and great-grandmothers. He learned English at school and French at home. At a young age, he was already a wild child and spent his free time running through the swamp and fishing all by himself, so he could bring food to his maman. Imagine an eight-year-old absolutely caked with mud, his clothes dripping swamp water and holding out a fish that’s half his size, while grinning despite the face covered in dirt. Lucienne couldn’t be mad at him when he looked so proud of himself, and the grannies encouraged this behavior by showing him the best fishing spots.

The town folks got quickly used to the child walking barefoot through the bayou, but it didn’t stop the whispers about Lucienne’s broken dreams; she had lost the opportunity to get out of here and study in a renowned university/city, which was a pity in their eyes.

The whispers were quiet, but Claude heard them nonetheless.

He didn’t know if his penchant from fighting came from the hurt these whispers caused, or from the paternal genes, but his fists and sharp teeth ostracized him from the other children. Although he belonged in the bayou, he didn’t belong with the people living here. At least he had his family and their gentle love.

But sometimes love wasn’t enough.

Thus he began to leave more and more frequently, going deeper in the bayou, learning how to avoid quicksands and recognize alligators in the water, spending time with the birds and climbing trees until he was so high he felt he could touch the sky.

Sometimes, he wondered if his family’s life would have been easier in the city; he thought he would probably be less lonely with a nuclear, intact family, and he cursed his faceless sperm donor for “running away”. The spite prompted him to look for any information about his progenitor.

He was surprised to discover his progenitor had made a family in one of the big cities, and quite disgusted he was a cop. He was unable to know how to feel about the existence of a brother, and decided to drop the research.

He didn’t want to shatter the peace of this family; they seemed happy like that.

He had never been so wrong in his entire life.

As time passed and unrest began to grow through the United States, the Frugé family took on an activist side; the house became a safe haven for protesters who needed to hide from the police, and the older women wrote down their testimonies, which they then hid in the walls.

They told Claude how powerful memories could be.

When the Clampdown started and more people hit the road, Claude used his knowledge of the bayou to guide refugees through and to Mexico, stopping at his house so the Frugé women could feed and clothe the Cold Constructs, Beast Men and other refugees. More testimonies filled the walls.

One night, as he was guiding three Cold Constructs who had fled from Texas, they made a remark about his uncanny resemblance with one of their previous helpers. He would have brushed the words aside were it not for them mentioning the other one’s name.

His half-brother’s name was the last thing he expected to hear.

Knowing he was risking his life for a stranger, he nonetheless decided to look for Benjamin/Bumblebee, with whom he shared a fight. At only 19, he joined the rebellion created by Omar Parvez (Optimus Prime), Jace Zayden (Jazz) and Preston Wan (Prowl); while it was a good outlet for his chaotic energy and thirst for danger, his true reason was still Bumblebee, but he didn’t dare approach him, fearing the anger shimmering within him would scare Ben away, like it has scared so many children before.

But at some point he had to stop running away.

Time only will tell whether or not the revelation of the lineage between Bumblebee and Cliffjumper will bring pain, as both boys have their demons and misconceptions about each other, but there is no denying a tentative bond is starting to grow.

OH MAN, I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT ASPECT! EMOTIONS!

I think, any time she may doubt the direction, she thinks about how her shirt catches on the implants along her spine. What he does may not feel so extreme in those moments.

Just realized how weird it had to be when Morgan/Megatron and Magdalene/Megaempress first meet. Almost that doppelganger feeling but not quite.

OH MAN YEAH and Megs would have the weird hopeful/anguished flutter in his stomach of “I… could still have family out there?” after losing Terminus and alienating Impactor.

Makes me wonder how Magdalene feels about the potential of being related to this warlord everyone keeps harping on about too 8U

So I was reading Hiromu Arakawa's new work Demons of the Shadow Realm and...

Um.

@artsy-hobbitses

Say hi to this guy!

[a-shade-of-blue]

I've been asked to write a post by @abuadam86 because she is really worried about her disabled son Adam. Adam is only 10 years old and he suffers from quadriplegia, which is a type of paralysis that causes a complete and severe loss of motor function of all 4 limbs and the body from the neck down! He requires a wheelchair to get around. Imagine how horrifying it must be when there you need to escape from a bombing, but you are not able to move and need a wheelchair to get to places and the streets are full of rubble!

Adam requires special food and medication, which is scarce in Gaza, and on the rare occasion it is available, very expensive!! Due to a lack of medicine, Adam suffers from frequent muscle spams! As a result of his condition, Adam also has difficulty swallowing and digesting food. Due to the lack of the special food he needs, he has lost 15 kg of weight! Moreover, he is also suffering from respiratory illness due to the polluted environment he is in! And Adam is only 10 years old!

Adam also have 3 siblings: Menna (12), Maria (6), and baby Ezz (1). They are now living in a tent that is not equipped to shield them from the cold. They do not have winter clothes, and most of the clothes they have are lying under the rubble. These children, in particular Adam, are suffering so much, and that is in addition to the frequent bombings!

This campaign is #187 on @/gazavetters vetted list, also vetted by association. Habib is a brother in law of @/hashemsh12 (shared by 90-ghost, vetted and promoted by @/gaza-evacuation-funds). Habib is also a relative of @/hazemsuhail (vetted by association). See post here for proof.

Only €3,038 raised of €50K goal! (6% only)

I actually have a cousin who suffers from a severe loss of motor function in his body and also has difficulties swallowing and digesting food as a result. I just want to say that support (e.g. medicine, equipment, the special food) for such a condition is already hard to get in normal circumstances, and as a result my cousin seldom leaves the house. If it is already difficult in normal circumstances, I can't imagine how Adam and his family are coping in the middle of a genocide! Please help them!

Tagging for reach. please message me if you want off the mailing list. we thank you in advance.

I found some drawings in my drive 😂, they date from 2023.

[wanlingnic]

Every so often, I get excited about doing more Beast Wars human AU. Rattrap compels me, he's such a messy dude.

This story is set in my friend artsy-hobbitses humanformers AU, 'The Ties That Bind'.

I'm going to keep a tag for this on my blog, so keep checking 'humanformers' on my blog!

Posting my art trade with @artsy-hobbitses!! Drew their Jazz, Prowl and Optimus :]

[transformersloversworld]

I said I'll do it and I did :) Prompted by this ask.

Megatron aka Morgan Trayton belongs to @artsy-hobbitses / @tiesthatbind-tf

[cao-the-dreamer]

Local aristocratic archer and his unofficial godson feral raccoon companion are about to unleash hellfire on unsuspecting Decepticons, more at 11.

Very rough sketch of these two because @artsy-hobbitses made me bawl my eyes out with her Mirage, and now I want him and Cliffjumper to bond, like, really hard and just be happy for once :,)

[elfdragon12]

Exactly this.

Why would we want to see Road Rage when Tracks and Loudpedal exist as male characters who share the same mold?

Megaempress as a man would just be Megatron. Also the Megatronia and Torchbearers are two of the only canonical female combiner teams (only two, unless I'm forgetting someone).

Anon, is your name Simon Furman?

If a male character in Transformers could become a female in the original Red Alert, Skywarp, Cosmo. and in your AU version there is Kup, Laserbeak, Soundwave, and First Aid.

Then can the female characters in Transformers also be in the form of men in your AU? mean not a muscular masculine woman but completely transformed into a male character?

Short version: No

Long version:

1. Checked the pinned post on my blog (it’s pinned for a reason) because there already exists planned cast/character sheets for both Cons/Bots who already have names and genders about 90% set in stone, and I’m not changing them unless it’s interesting, which brings me to:

2. Don’t see the point. The TF cast is mainly dominated by male characters so why would I want to see the already rare female character genderbent into a male version?

Listen, if this AU isn’t for you, you’re free to leave. I genuinely have no idea why you’re hung up on something that’s been done by dozens more Humanformers artists before me, and often to a much bigger degree. It’s not new.

Get with the programme, or find something else to occupy your time.

[elfdragon12]

How Osmund "Ozzie" Lourd/Overlord came to become... Perhaps a little focused with Morgan Trayton/Megatron and joined his rebellion. Surely, this will have no negative repercussions!

With the beta release of Hero Forge’s absolutely incredible Face Customizing feature, sure you can merely order minis from their incredible service, but now you can do THIS:

“Again huh?”

“Eheh... yeah...” Lori May, when not helping her father with chores, has a little barfight habit, to the (lack of) surprise of someone who takes care of this punch-happy idiot. It takes strength and patience to deal with Ironhide’s daughter sometimes.

The Face Customizer not only allows you to alter your character’s face to make them truly unique, but now the range of expressions you can attain is even more vast!

feat. a fan-take on Ratchet from the Ties That Bind AU by the incredible @artsy-hobbitses​ ! I imagine this to be far in the future of that AU; ‘Hide settled down, found a nice girl who puts up with his quirks and temper, and she ended up giving him a daughter that’s just his mini-me, but female.
