#astro squad

[elfdragon12]

Another in the series of individual Astro Squad members with human OC, Ettie! Inspired by @cybertronia-obscura prompt "recoil".

Ettie, as a medic for Cybertronians (not qualified to do more than first aid on humans), didn't have much experience with energy/laser firearms. Resident combat enthusiast, Barrage, decides to help her out.

Come Together

A short story of the Astro Squad with my human OC, Ettie. Some backstory building and some practice writing their interpersonal dynamics.

Inspired by the "team" prompt from @cybertronia-obscura.

---------- ----------

In the far off year of 2004...

If he was honest with himself, Missile Master wasn't sure on how grateful he was that the medic that Ultra Magnus had chosen to assign to his squad was a human. As he and 3 other members of his squad were classed as minibots and only two standard sized bots, the smaller dexterous human hands were more beneficial than other bot medics. However, humans were notorious for following their own rules and those little fuel pumps in their chests called "hearts".

At least this little human seemed to be keeping with his pace at the moment as they walked through the halls of Autobot City. He was only twice her height, so she wouldn't have had to run as if he were the Prime's height.

"This way," he said as he turned to the right. "The rest of the team is waiting in room AA125 to meet you."

"Yes, sir," she replied. Her voice sounded on the lower side for human females. Good that she could respond to a commanding officer right.

Soon enough, they reached the meeting room.

His team had been relaxing in their various ways when the two entered. Barrage had once again convinced Blast Master to a game of reflex with a ball; Missile Master was pretty sure it was called a "basketball". Heave was sitting at one of the computers hooked up to Metroplex's systems. Phaser was going through their projected ship manifest on a data pad. Moonrock was gazing out a window.

"Attention!" Missile Master called out. "Time to meet the new member of the team!"

Blast Master got pelted in the helm with the ball in his rush to turn around, but the others turned without incident. The ball pinged off his helm harmlessly before bouncing around the ground.

"Team, this will be our new medic, Loretta Caruso. Ultra Magnus thought we might benefit from a human medic on our upcoming expedition."

"Oh!" Phaser turned down to the manifest before back to the human. "This would explain why I was forwarded a human supply list! I was about to send a comm to Hoist about a mistake."

The leader nodded. "Correct. Medic Caruso, this would be my second in commander, Phaser. He is completely reliable and, anything you need, he has probably already has it on the list. Before we leave, I suggest the two of you go through the manifest to double-check as we will be away from Earth for quite some time." He gestured to the other standard-sized bot who waved enthusiastically. "That is his partner, Blast Master. While we travel through space, these two will be our ship and, thus, only available through communication." He looked back to their new medic. His optics narrowed behind his visor. "How much has our squad been explained to you?"

The human blinked up at him. "Oh! Some basic stuff. You're a team dedicated to deep space travel, mapping out new areas and general exploration," she said, "First Aid did explain that you guys were a team of two bot combiners? And he tutored me on the special treatments combiners tend to need."

"Good. We don't need as strict maintenance as he and the other Protectobots might, but we do require more care than single bots do. As I said, Phaser and Blast Master are partners."

"We are the only two who are same size and all!" Blast Master interrupted, a big grin on his face.

"Yes. Do not interrupt me," Missile Master corrected. "My own partner is Moonrock." This received a wave from said bot. "Barrage and Heave are the final pair. Barrage is our combat specialist while Heave handles our intergalactic communications." Barrage gave a short nod as Heave sat up to attention.

The little human nodded, her hair bun giving a little bounce. "Got it! So, as he said, my name is Loretta, but you can call me Ettie since we've going to be together for a while! I went through training here in Autobot City. I did classes with Sparkplug Witwicky and Raoul Delgado Herrara and then advanced classes with First Aid, Hoist, and Ratchet! I'll be able to take care of you without a problem!"

"Hello, Ettie," Heave said. Even with the face plate, his smile was audible. He always seemed to be more put-out than the others that the squad didn't get to spend as much time on Earth as other bots. Getting to work alongside a human was likely an excellent runner-up for him. "I'm sure we have lots of questions for each other."

"Speaking of," the human's voice trailed for a moment, "mind if I ask about the combining thing? From what I've been able to tell, some combiners seem like they've always been together while others act like that was something they chose later. What is it with you guys?"

Heave nodded. "Barrage and I have been together for only a short time, at least when it comes to us. You humans would think we've been together for ages! Phaser and Blast Master have been together the longest." He paused just long enough for the two to confirm. "I'm from the Burthov city-state, doing most of my studies there, and went to the Altihex research facilities later on. That's where I met Phaser and Blast Master. I didn't meet Barrage until after we started our first expedition together. I originally transformed into an individual rover vehicle."

"Full shuttle class bots are not as common as we'd like," Phaser explained, "so I volunteered for a combination program. We were partnered by the program director. It was thought that our personalities would balance each other's out."

"If it wasn't for me, Phaser would spend so long double-checking things, he'd never get off the ground!"

The flattening of Phaser's optics were enough to tell how he felt about that description. "And, if it weren't for me, Blast Master would have rushed off into space somewhere and gotten hopelessly lost."

Medic Loretta Caruso laughed. It was a nice sound. She looked back to Heave. "So how did you and Barrage meet?"

"I," Barrage finally spoke up, "got separated from my original crew. There was a planetary evacuation order--there was some sort of civil war and the captain didn't feel authorized to get involved--and I was too busy helping out some innocent civilians and missed the launch."

"Either way," Heave continued, "we picked him up when we came across the planet ourselves. We couldn't leave a comrade behind, after all. As for how we became partners, ah, well-"

Leaning forward, Barrage grinned. "Turns out he's something of a trouble magnet, so I decided to stick with him. Get him out of the trouble he gets into."

Heave mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like "now it's worse".

However, Missile Master had no time to get into that when their little medic looked up to him with interesting brown color humans have. "So what about you and Moonrock," she asked, "I've barely met you and I can tell you're pretty different."

Moonrock, in an unusual show of forwardness, gave a low chuckle. "While we were studying in Altihex, I would allow him to lead on all our shared projects and I've been his favorite partner ever since," he said.

Missile Master's face plate warmed up. "Our dynamic is beneficial to both of us," he said to rephrase the unflattering explanation. "As our expeditions tend to take us into deep space where we rarely have access to timely back-up, we agreed to undergo the reformatting process to combine into a larger and more powerful vehicle." He cleared his vocals and turned to look down. "Any further questions or shall we get to our final preparations underway?"

"Seems like we've got plenty more time to know each other on the way, so let's get this show on the road!"

"We'll be in deep space, Medic Caruso, it's unlikely we'll get many shows on the road."

"We'll do a crash course on human expressions too."

2024 Gaming Wrap-Up

   It’s that time of year again! I’m not talking about Christmas or whatever - it’s time for the yearly Gaming Wrap-Up where we take a look back at the past twelve months in the video gaming world. There’s no need to dwell too much on the real world; we all know how things are going at the moment. It’s a bit rough right now to say the least, but video games are always at least an enjoyable escape and there’s always new releases, updates, announcements and other news to look forward to. As we wind down for the holidays and prepare for whatever comes next, let’s take a moment to remember some of our favourite games and other related events that happened throughout 2024. Enjoy!

JANUARY - MARCH    The year had a bumpy beginning for those working within the video game industry itself, as a string of constant mass layoffs from many major development and publishing groups (such as Microsoft, Sony, EA, and Riot) has led to such jobs being on shaky ground for countless people and making their futures very uncertain. The layoffs continued throughout the early half of 2024, becoming a major factor in the strikes that would occur later on.   On a more positive note, 2024 had a strong start for most video game releases. The Like A Dragon/Yakuza series continued in Hawaii with Infinite Wealth, the sole developer of the deckbuilding roguelike Balatro was shocked at how enormously popular the game instantly became, and long-time damsel-in-distress Princess Peach finally took centre stage as the playable hero of Princess Peach: Showtime! Meanwhile, some highly-anticipated remakes of Final Fantasy VII and The Last of Us II released, but an awful reception to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League certainly killed a lot of faith in the gaming corner of the DC universe.

APRIL - JUNE    Further along in the year, the 2024 Summer Games Fest was held, continuing to build up as a “replacement” for E3 as the main games showcase event of the year. Several exciting new titles were announced, including Star Wars Outlaws, Civilisation 7, and bizarrely enough an Among Us animated series adaptation! Speaking of adaptations, the Fallout live-action series also released, to be met with near-universal acclaim as a rare actually-good video game adaptation that remained faithful to the source material while telling a strong, original narrative.   The second quarter also saw the release of some popular games; Stellar Blade brought us a sci-fi action adventure that was just a tad overshadowed by the fanservice-y character designs, while MultiVersus (Warner Bros.’ fighting game counterpart to Super Smash Bros.) finally reached its full release after languishing in early access for the last couple years. Animal Well was the newest hit indie game, a labyrinthine metroidvania populated by wildlife and puzzles, and the current king of action RPGs Elden Ring received a major expansion dubbed Shadow of the Erdtree. 

JULY - SEPTEMBER    The video game industry’s turmoil came to a head in the latter half of the year with the beginning of the SAG-AFTRA voice acting strike that is still ongoing as I write this. After a year and a half of failed negotiations and concerns over the threat of replacement by AI voice recreations (as well as pressure from the mass layoffs earlier on), thousands of workers began a labour strike that would hopefully convince their employers to offer fairer negotiations. In lighter news, Sony Entertainment’s attempt to enter the hero shooter genre with Concord resulted in a staggeringly hilarious failure - high prices and unappealing characters led to such a colossal flop that Sony had to shut down the games’ servers and issue refunds within two weeks of launch! Good job Sony.   Contrasting Concord’s embarrassment, the release of Astro Bot was met with universal adoration as a clever old-fashioned platformer that thrives on the nostalgia of Sony’s long history of titles since 1994. Following in Princess Peach’s footsteps from earlier, Zelda also got to helm her own solo title with a new entry in the Legend of Zelda series titled Echoes of Wisdom. Meanwhile, Black Myth: Wukong starred the monkey hero of the classical Chinese tale Journey to the West in an action RPG adventure, and Star Wars Outlaws threw players into the depths of the cutthroat criminal underworld of a galaxy far, far away.

OCTOBER - DECEMBER    We round out the year with - what else? - The Game Awards of 2024! Astro Bot walked away with a more-than-deserved Game of the Year and several other wins, though it’s not like it had a whole lot of decent competition for it. Of course, the only real reason people pay attention to the awards is for all the juicy announcements and reveals that come with them: sequels for The Witcher, Okami and The Outer Worlds, yet another Elden Ring property, a flashy new trailer for Borderlands 4 that I for one am obsessed with, and a surprise announcement of Naughty Dog’s new space-opera IP called Intergalactic: The Heretic.   Besides the award show, the tail end of 2024 also saw some popular releases including the Persona-esque medieval fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio, while Marvel Rivals jumped straight from the pages of a comic book to finally give Overwatch some truly strong competition in the hero-shooter genre. Finally, while it didn’t quite beat out Fallout in the awards for Best Adaptation, the second season of acclaimed animated series Arcane was still met with outstanding praise.

LOOKING AHEAD    So, where does that leave us for next year? We’ve got plenty of highly-anticipated games to look forward to in 2025, which still doesn’t sound like a real year we’re about to enter (what do you mean 2018 was seven years ago!?). It goes without saying that the biggest highlight of the year will be the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, which I’m not entirely exaggerating about when I call it the most anticipated video game release ever. Before that, however, we’ve still got the next few chapters of Toby Fox’s Deltarune and the superheroic hack-and-slasher Wolverine to keep us occupied, but the release I’m personally most hyped for is Borderlands 4 - I still can’t stop rewatching that trailer.   Oh, and, there’s also gonna be a Minecraft movie next year. So that’s…something. Maybe it’ll be one of those so-bad-it’s-good movies, but I’m not holding my breath. Not every adaptation can be as good as Fallout. Besides that, 2025 is looking to be an excellent year for the gaming world. So, despite the state of, well, everything right now, just hold on a little longer - there’s always something to stick around for, even if it’s just the next game you want to play.   Until then, I hope you enjoyed this look back at the gaming world of 2024, and I look forward to seeing you all again in 2025!   Happy Holidays!

Could you do like what size you think the members are I saw someone else request this and now I’m also curious

a/n: yes omg!! @stephenyoonkeeholdup mentioned me in a request like this .. this was so fun to figure out lmfaoooo i even looked up references like it was notttt that serious 😭 but here you go!

𓂃✧ ୭ keeho

not too girthy, not too long… basically he’s the goldilocks of cocks hehe i can see kyo being around 5.5”-6” long and having a pretty brownish shade to his girth. very very sensitive to touch, that’s for sure! his dick would most likely be circumcised, and his pubic hair either fully shaved or very neatly trimmed. can see keeho having some big balls too lmaoooo, definitely just sensitive all over. gets hard way too easy, if you wanted to know

𓂃✧ ୭ theo

probably the longest of all the members, but the least in girth. what he lacks for in girth is made up with just how long it is though, so never fear! has a pretty pale-ish pink color adorning the tip, neatly trimmed and circumcised. i would imagine he’s about 7 and 1/2 inches when hard, around an inch less when flacid. no significant curve or vein, just a pretty dick tbh, the type that you’d stare at in admiration lol

𓂃✧ ୭ jiung

definitely another member of the packing squad. like theo, he’s not incredibly thick, but the length is enough to have you squirming. 7” when fully hard for sure, no doubt about it. he probably has a dick piercing too (but maybe that’s my own fantasy that i’m projecting onto him lol). has a prominent curve when erect that curls into your insides so nicely. very very well shaven. a few thin veins along the shaft, but they aren’t super noticeable. definitely circumcised :3

𓂃✧ ୭ intak

so thick, it’s the type of dick that doesn’t even need much length for you to feel it. despite that, his size isn’t small, i would say it’s about 5.5” when he’s soft and 6” or so when fully erect. has a singular bulging vein that goes along the entire length. trims his bush every now and then but it isn’t his main priority .. leaks a lot of precum no matter the hour. his cock has a more brownish color to it! uncircumcised, and it makes him super sensitive.

𓂃✧ ୭ soul

sooo girthy—-even more girthy than intak. his cock is the palest one of all of the boys, and has a flushed pink shade to it that matches the flush of his cheeks when you jack him off. a little curved, and not super long in size. i’d say shota is probably about 5”-5.5” long, but his dick is so fat it doesn’t even matter. doesn’t really bother to shave much, but if you prefer it, he’ll trim it for you. uncircumcised. also wanted to mention that he most likely cums a lottt

𓂃✧ ୭ jongseob

another girthy one, apparently i imagine maknae line to be very similar in the area of study .. anyways, i would probably say that jongseob would be around 6”, so his length is no joke either. probably another circumcised boy, also very tidy down there and shaves very regularly. fat mushroom tip that’s almost an angry red shade. probably another precum leaker too! i can also see seob having some prominent veins along his shaft :DD

What is the Filming Industry's reaction to Titan Tvman getting infected?

The Filming Industry, surprisingly, wasn’t panicking as much this time — perhaps because they’d already been through too much emotional turmoil recently. It started with the Titan Cameraman being badly damaged by the kamikaze, followed by the eradication of the elite forces. Then came the arrival of the Astro army, the Titan Speakerman's severe injuries during the conflict with G-Toilet, the disappearance of the Titan Cameraman, and now this latest crisis. Over the past six months, almost everyone has been emotionally drained. This situation, albeit troubling, felt less overwhelming because there was still a glimmer of hope — thanks to the Skibidi joining the Alliance forces.

Still, there were some dramatic reactions, particularly from Gaffer, who finally found some catharsis watching the TV faction face the consequences of their arrogance — the refusal to aid the cameramen in need, the massive confiscation of the Astro technology, and their derogatory labeling of other factions as “cannon fodders.” Despite herself being a TV unit, her beliefs don’t align with the faction’s dogma of superiority. She doesn’t support their condescending attitude or their attempts to dominate other factions, including the Skibidis.

The Skibidis’ willingness to ally with the cameramen surprised her — it was a stark contrast to her own faction’s stubborn pride. She held no initial hatred toward the Skibidis, aside from their responsibility for Chief’s death. But now, given the dire situation, she had no objections for cooperating with the Skibidis. With the TV faction’s most powerful weapon being controled by the Astros, it is an opportunity to force the TV folks to finally learn from their mistakes and collaborate with the rest of the Alliance, as well as foster a less-hostile relationship with the Skibidis from G-Toilet’s forces.

Meanwhile, Styrofilm and Polaroid reacted with more pragmatism than negativity. Their primary concern was how their already crippled forces would handle a new parasitic threat. Styro himself began preparing for a field investigation in Russia, planning to collect samples and information to assist the scientific head counsel in devising a solution to retrieve the TV Titan. He decided to bring Polaroid along, as Rescue Squad 08 is returning to Japan for a visit, and he’d take a transfer flight through Osaka.

And Foley? He just chilling and being sarcastic as usual. Quote: “TV Titan got his @$$ kicked before and never learned, now he got his @$$ owned by a giant Gothic woman, ain’t that a welcoming relief?”

Mars in Scorpio - Masashi Kishimoto

What represents Mars in astrology? ACTION -DESIR - VIOLENCE - WILL

There is two signs where the planet Mars feels at its best. Aries and Scorpio. In Aries (fire sign), the martial energy is deployed with brilliance like a supernova striking once. It's the embodiment of the warrior, Ares the god of War in greek mythology. It's the impulse to act immediately and recklessly. In scorpio, it's a different story. Mars in this water sign get more like an underground mind game, cruelly playing with your fear, your paranoia and any weak points they can find. You don't know when the war will start and from where it will start, but when it does, it aims straight to your head. Mars in scorpio is more like a predator or a sniper. Hyperfixated on his goal and secretive. They are incredibly tenacious, it's as if the more you fight them the more they use this chaotic energy to rise from the dead stronger than before.

Kishimoto is not only a Scorpio sun (ego) but he got also Venus (art/beauty) and mars (action) in the same sign.

It's interesting to note that his work of art the best known is about the life of shinobis. In other words, a warrior class (Mars) specialised in hidden knowledges, and deception (Scorpio). And this definition is perfectly summarized in the definition of the chakra; a perfect balance of both spiritual energy and physical strength. You need to grow both to be a strong shinobi.

We'll discuss more about Kishimoto's astrology birth chart and how his character may have influence his manga. Come and join us in our discords Madara Protection Squad for a live stream this Saturday 14/01/23 ~ 1pm EST/ 7pm CET
