The cult of Kemneith/Neith (Egyptian goddess Blackarachnia)

For the Beast Wars Weekend day 1: tradition.

I don't really know if the Maximals have any, and I don't think that they would adopt one from Earth, since they didn't have any interaction with cultures. On the other hand, I'm not fond to modern traditions, then I don't have the need to put them through any.

Instead, we have Blackarachnia crawls her way into old Egyptian tradition... as a goddess.

Behold Kemneith, daughter of Neith, Horus' consort.

I always thought that she had an Egyptian goddess air to her, specially in the early design below (left bottom corner)*. Therefore, AU (?) where she and Silverbolt travel to Earth for whatever reason (they're the schmaltziest couple in universe, maybe they're in some lovers travel after the Beast Machines events) and stumble upon humans. The old Egyptian culture.

They take Silverbolt for Horus, and therefore Blackarachnia must also be a goddess.

Neith was the spider goddess of War and Hunt, later of Wisdom and Weaving, creator of gods and men and a funerary deity. As Blackarachnia is a spider, they take her for Neith or daughter of Neith.

Silverbolt would rather not be object of idolatry to those fleshy creatures, but they're also worshipping Blackarachnia, and it's about Time that others see in her the goddess he knows she is. So he plays along. Blackarachnia is not complaining.

Going to the recent 2023 sketchbook, here's a spread of Beast Wars characters! This was totally a sketch-at-church again, especially to stay waking up. And also probably sketches to dig ideas before making those stickers I sold at #ComiFuro that year.

After what feels like ages, I've finally progressed enough in my Beast Machines visual novel project to have a fully finished screen to show y'all! And just in time for the Beast Wars Weekend hosted by @tfmicroevents!

This screen is part of the prologue, which I'm hoping to release as a demo version of the game sometime later this year. I literally have the entire thing scripted out, I just ("just") have to do all the art for it and figure out a few small features of Ren'Py and it'll be ready to go!

Shout out to the 4 beast machines rattrap fans on earth

[emperor-kumquat]

My Transformers: Prime version of Beast Machines Obsidian for my game Transformers: Mercy. He is a very noble-sounding Decepticon who flips the script on the Autobots during his trial with Strika. My trial? Nope, your trial now. He rips apart the Autobots, letting them know their faction's faults.

Transformers All-sparks: Cybertronian Military

Introducing Cybertronian Military folk, from Triple Changers to the Chief Justiciary. Triple Changers were Senator Shockwave's greatest achievement prior to his fall from grace. Recruits were picked from candidates of the military with T-cogs that (hopefully) could withstand the modifications required to have TWO alt modes instead of one. Triple Changers are rare. VERY rare, as the process was dangerous.

But the results were considered worth it, because they ended up creating some VERY formidable warriors.

Meanwhile, in terms of special forces, we introduce the Cybertronian Wreckers, warriors meant to be the spearhead of dangerous operations of extreme risk. Those who live long are considered some of the most dangerous warriors of Cybertron.

All the while, all members of the Military, when they do wrong or unlawful acts, become under the purview of one the most powerful judicial institutions in Cybertron, the Cybertronian Military Tribune, headed by "The Great Magnus".

Springer: Brimming with confidence and sarcasm galore, Springer is essentially the perfect Wrecker, with the skills to back it up. He's the Cybertronian Man of Action, and don't you forget it!

Strika: A heavy weapons Transformers and one of the meanest and no-nonsense warriors out there. If she thinks you are sup bar she WILL say it outright and in your face about it. Meanwhile, as a living artillery platform, she's good at her job and knows it.

Kup: Ancient. Kup is OLD. He's rough around the edgest and a tad bit ornery, but he has a lot of wisdom beneath the facade. Technically not active duty, but not retired either, he's officially "in reserver", ready to be called up whenever Cybertron needs him.

Ultra Magnus: The current Magnus, weilder of the Magnus hammer, and highest member of the military's justice system, it is through him that makes sure justice is given fairly and firmly. A powerful man with a personal hobby of designing and researching various armors. He can belt out a speech about laws, but otherwise quite stiff in casual conversation.

The Hounds: "Big Dog" Hound is an old war veteran who's seen the best of the best Cybertron has to offer, and some of the worst. Has a big Engex belly, and a plethora of weapons on his station, and knows how to use each and everyone of 'em. Used to be crass and rough around the edges, but mellowed down considerable after the creation of his son. "Little Dog" Hound is someone, whom at first glance, shouldn't be part of the Cybertronian military, for he much prefers sightseeing the natural world and tinkering with Holograms than fighting. He joined because, deep down, he feels like it's his duty, as with every Hound before him, but he's glad he could serve his OWN way. After all, hologram study are relatively non violent.

Blitzwing: The first successful triple changer, and a beast on the battlefield. Also an unbelievably unpleasant person on a personal level, likely to mock a bot's suffering and struggles when they're not "military material" enough.

Octane: Another triple changer, and by all means doesn't actually want to be there, but he was caught for theft and it was either serving the military or time in prison. Despite his might as a triple changer, he's VERY reluctant to get into dangerous situations.

Impactor: The legendary leader of the Wreckers, no mission too bold, no mission too dangerous, and if you give him a mission, his tenacity and resolve means he WILL get it done, no matter the cost. Springer's boss.
