#botbots Mike

[thicctails]

created this goob 1 quintillion minutes ago so I'm going to bullshit lore for him

Deimos had, at one point, been one of the most feared Cybertronians in the known universe.

A Shifter born in the deepest pits of Kaon, Deimos was a relentless, bloodthirsty bounty hunter, following in the footsteps of his older half-brother, Makeshift. His refusal to take sides, unparalleled dedication to his hunts, and his ability to mimic the form and voice of any bot he encountered made him a force to be reckoned with.

However, even the brightest stars burn out eventually, and after a mission went wrong, Deimos was left near fatally injured, and was forced to flee into unknown space. Eventually, he crash landed on Earth, and as a final act of desperation, scanned a damaged Jeep Compass and fell into a deep recharge while his body attempted to heal.

His poor choice of altmode and untreated injuries left the once awe-inspiring bot with a nearly destroyed T-Cog, trapping him in vehicle form with only the barest amount of consciousness. He rotted away in a scrapyard for many years, long forgotten by most humans.

Then, one day, a young man named Mike, who was tired of being driven around by a loud, reckless, sentient car who answered to the name Smokescreen and being badgered by equally annoying everyday objects given life, purchased him for dirt cheap, intending on fixing the vehicle up so that he could have a ride that didn't talk back when he wanted to change the radio, unaware that he'd just acquired the bitchiest, snarkiest, most headache-inducing bastard that ever smashed into our beloved blue planet.

LET US GIVE TONKS!

The mighty TONKANATOR has hit shelves, and he is delightful. But did you know this is not the first time Tonka and Transformers have crossed paths? Let's go back twenty years for November 2022's Patreon-backed @tfwiki theme!

Hasbro acquired Tonka in 1991. Ten years later, Tonka released the first toy in the 1-2-3 TRANSFORMERS line: the sublime RESCUE ROY! I love him. Lights, sounds, voice clips, good stuff. (Old pic)

The following year, the much smaller CHARLIE CHOPPER and POLICEMAN PETE were released, both having lights, sounds and voice clips. They also got multiple accessories, something Roy didn't!

These molds then got redecoed and released as AIRLIFT ANDY and FIRE MARSHALL MIKE, joining Toy's firefighting force. These toys were the last of the 1-2-3s and didn't exactly get widely distributed.

The three 1-2-3 molds were lightly redecoed for the Takara "Rescue Hero Go-Bots" kids' line, which rolled these toys in with the Playskool GoGoGoBots molds.

And then… well nothing for a long time. But the Collaborative line isn't above crossing over with other Hasbro properties, thus Tonkanator, the latest iteration of the G1 Constructicon molds! These toys have a gorgeous gunmetal gray, as seen on MEGA DOZER and MEGA HAULER (6/)

POWER DIGGER is the only one of the set to actually share a name with a Tonka construction vehicle toy: the 2001 Remote Control Power Digger excavator!

Just take in MOTOR LOAD (no we are not doing phrasing), MOTORMIX and SKYHOOK. And their shiny, shiny decals. Shiny, fragile decals.

And, because it's nigh Thanksgiving, let's round things out with a thematically-appropriate piece from BotBots (because I'm me), namely, COLD TURKEY from the newly-released Series 6 Hunger Hubs.

If you all like what I do here and wanna help out in a small but significant way, check out my Patreon, at "gregstfwikipics".

Ok I wanna talk about what we have to look forward to for transformers cartoons

thank you Kimi my good friend from Discord for this information.

yes its true Hasbro is working with Nickelodeon to produce a new transformers cartoon. I am honestly shocked that Nickelodeon will be airing it but I guess it makes sense. Nickelodeon has been very successful with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles since 2012 the 2012 series was so successful and in my opinion the best TMNT series in general. Then we had Rise of the teenage mutant turtles which came out quite recently however it has not been shown on Nickelodeon for quite some time not even reruns have been shown as far as I know. Now I don’t know if the show is on a hiatus or its been canceled all I know is that its been moved to Nicktoons which is a separate Nickelodeon channel that mostly shows cartoons over any live action shows and occasionally shows reruns of older shows such as Danny Phantom, Invader Zim and Jimmy Neutron. over the years I’ve noticed a pattern A new show airs to Nickelodeon but when that show isn’t popular enough to stay on the main channel it moves to Nicktoons where it will air for one more season or gets canceled entirely and shows reruns. This could very possibly happen with this new Transformers series. The main shows that are the most popular on Nickelodeon are Spongebob (obviously) Loud House and a few live action shows so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens I really hope Nickelodeon doesn’t throw this new Transformers series under the bus like Cartoon Network did with Cyberverse where they show new episodes once and then never again just so they can show Teen Titans Go ALL DAY LONG. Nickelodeon has been similar in the past but they they will usually show new episodes on Saturday morning and then a few more times throughout the week. So there is hope that this could be a good thing for fans and could bring in a new generation of Transformers fans.

Ok so this was posted on the official Transformers instagram page and this one is quite disappointing. We are getting an animated comedy series for Transformers BotBots yeah you heard me right BotBots as in the weird ass Transformers version of Shopkins with characters such as Hawt Diggity, Duderoni and my favorite BURGERTRON who honestly sounds like Megatron if he were to work at Burger King or eat a lot of fast food to the point he resembles most Americans (god that’s so mean). There are also many othe characters in the BotBots series that are based off of food, small machines and even bathroom products and toilet humor which is so terrible and a major low for Hasbro and makes Transformers look like a joke. Because it’s a comedy and is most likely aimed towards kids there will probably be toilet humor to go along with certain characters and that alone is probably going to turn TF fans away I mean if you’re into that kind of comedy I wont judge but I feel like this is a major let down. I for one would LOVE an animated series based on the MTMTE/Lost Light comics because my god they were amazing they could easily be made into an animated series aimed more towards teens and adults considering the comics were REALLY dark at times not something that would be shown on typical networks like Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network put it on Netflix get some good voice actors good animation and we could have an AMAZING Transformers series that kicks WFC in the ass I have actually talked to a few people about this talking about actors who could voice characters I made a joke about Whirl being voiced by Norm Macdonald the guy who voiced Norm the genie in The FairlyOdd Parents and Pigeon in Mike Tyson Mysteries the reason for this is because when I read Whirl’s dialogue I automatically think of Pigeon because Pigeon is a smartass and an asshole so is Whirl. Whirl just gives me Pigeon vibes case closed. I honestly wanna make a whole post on who I think would be great voice actors for a MTMTE/Lost Light animated series I may try to do that with the help of a good friend of mine. Anyway I have rambled long enough I apologize for such a long post this is why one of my friends calls me a female Swerve. Anyways what are your thoughts on these new TF series? Do you think this will bring in new fans?

Today is a special day because we have TWO Special Presentation vidcasts to share with you! First up we’ve got It’s An Adventure, Charlie Brown, featuring the story where Charlie Brown basically reinvents himself as a cool guy when he goes to college in a different state, “Sack”! Then Peppermint Patty has a religious experience, and Snoopy transforms into a helicopter... kind of a lot goes on in this one. This episode also features Mike and Ethan’s rumination on Transformers BotBots and the opportunity to meet their appliance-sonas!

But we’re not done yet-- Mike and Ethan’s Halloween Special is here, and it’s extra special because it contains a special! It’s Garfield’s Halloween Adventure, also known as Garfield In Disguise. In keeping with this hallowed day, this podcast contains live commentary on the special-- and since that wouldn’t make any sense without the special itself, we’ve included that too, with vintage commercials and all the trimmings! Then stay tuned for our tribute to our favorite and least-favorite Halloween specials, and the revelation that Paul Lynde was actually a cartoon goat.

A Special Presentation: or, ALF Will Not Be Seen Tonight can be heard in podcast form weekly, usually on Mondays, right here! We’re on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and so many others, you’ll surely have a way to listen on your commute! The vidcast version of each podcast goes up about a week or two later, so subscribe to ME, The Hungry Reader, to get them!

A ‘Chill’ Night At The Mall

More BotBot/TFP AU content y’all. This is set during the first few months of Mike’s employment, when he starts to bond with the Lost Bots more. Poor dude doesn’t realize that by the end of his time as a night guard that he’s gonna have an army of semi-feral BotBots staying with him lol.

Also Burgertron is touch-starved change my mind. (you can’t)

==========================================================================================================================

All things considered, Mike’s night had been going pretty good.

Dave would be coming in soon to take over for him, as the clock ticked over to 5 AM. Just one more hour. One more hour, then he’d be free to go home and get some rest.

“Mike!”

God damn it.

Exhaling through his nose and accepting the fact that tonight would not be the calm, easy shift he’d been hoping for, Mike turned his gaze down to the ground, easily spotting the little creature calling his name.

 It had been a few months since he’d accidentally discovered the secret of his new workplace, and he’d not known peace since. BotBots. That's what they called themselves, and the outcast group called the Lost Bots had seemingly become quite attached to him, not shying away from the dark haired male like they did with Dave, his klutzy coworker. At first, they’d been just as fearful, doing their best to remain unseen by the night guard, but they’d started to come around after he’d found one of them stuck to a glue trap, a small flashlight that he’d learned was named Dimlit. 

It’d taken some hours to get the tiny robot-like creature free, Mike being overly cautious as to not hurt him accidentally. As he’d worked, the rest of the Lost Bots had slowly crept out of their hiding places, bodies tense with stress but eyes curious as they watched the human work. When he’d finished, he’d set the little bot down on the floor, unsure of what else to do and still in shock at the revelation that Dave wasn’t completely insane. Dimlit had been in a similar state of shock, and it had taken a gentle nudge from Mike to get him to scurry away like a frightened rabbit.

After that night, the Lost Bots started hanging around the human, apparently breaking some sacred rule they had in doing so. He’d learned all of their names, and had been let into the secret world of the mall factions. Every once in a while, he’d interact with a bot in one of the other factions, although this was usually because the bot had gotten themself into trouble. The other BotBots were far more hostile and skittish, but Mike had started to see a few more of them more recently lately.

Shaking himself from his thoughts, Mike knelt down and offered his hand to the bot. It was Kikmee, the little soccer ball BotBot. She stepped up onto his hand, leaping up his arm and scrambling up onto his head, shivering as she hunkered down into his fluffy curls. Mike frowned, feeling how cold she was.

“Kik’, why are you so cold? Did Clogstopper get locked in the freezer again?” Mike questioned.

“N-no.” she managed out, teeth chattering, “There’s s-something wr- wrong with the h-heater! The l-lost and found is f-f-freezing!”

Well shit. Mike had known that the space heater in the lost and found was on the fritz, God knows Dave had been complaining about it enough, but he hadn’t expected it to break down this quickly. Huffing softly, Mike righted himself and started off towards the lost and found.

“Okay, let’s go take a look. Maybe I can do something to fix it.”

=================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================

“Fuck!”

Mike cursed as the heater’s fraying wires sent a jolt of electricity up his arm, a sharp ache immediately springing up along the length of his limb. He shook his arm about rapidly, hissing as he gave the busted heater a sharp kick, yanking the wire out of the socket before it started a fire.

“Okay, screw that, I’m not getting paid enough for this. Dave can bitch to management about it.” he snarled, wincing as he cradled his injured arm. Sighing deeply, he turned to face the Lost Bots, who were huddled up together, still shivering. 

Mike felt a pang of pity ripple through him. These guys could be real nuisances sometimes, getting underfoot or causing various nonsensical issues that he had deal with before the mall opened, but they were also his only real friends.

That... was incredibly pathetic. Jesus, he needed to start socializing with actual human beings. Dave didn’t count, because Mike would rather run into the nearest intersection before he considered Dave a friend.

So, at the risk of being nipped at or scratched, Mike strode over to the Lost Bots and plucked them up one by one, settling them in his arm. He shivered as he felt their cold bodies against his bare arm.

“Christ, it’s cold as fuck in here. I can’t in good conscience leave you little brats here to freeze, even if it would make my job easier, so I’m gonna let you come stay at my apartment for tonight, okay?” he said, getting wide eyes and eager nods in return. None of the BotBots had ever seen the outside world before, and Mike wondered how quickly it would take before they got into trouble out there. Hopefully they would have enough sense not to roll beneath his car’s pedals or mess with his cat.

They scattered about his body, making themselves comfortable wherever they pleased. Kikmee returned to her perch on his head, Clogstopper and Bonz-Eye each chose a shoulder to cling to, tucking themselves partway under the collar of his uniform, Dimlit crawled into his shirt pocket, and Burgertron snuggled up close to his chest, covered partially by Mike’s hand as he gripped onto the young man’s shirt.

 The Lost Bot leader always seemed to crave more contact than his friends, often taking any chance to annoy Mike by leaping onto him from some high vantage point and refusing to leave his shoulder. Now, though, there was no smart-mouthed quips or sharp bites, only a faint rumble as Mike absent-mindedly ran his thumb across the bot’s bun-like armour. Was he... was he purring?

Tucking that little tidbit of info away for later, Mike packed up his stuff with one hand and pulled on his coat, concealing his tiny cargo as he handed the mall keys over to Dave on his way out.

Some other Deimos stuff + Mike and Burgertron

[thicctails]

First Contact

A lil blurb for my BotBot/TFP crossover WIP AU. I’m thinking maybe Prime Bots? IDK have feral Burgertron content

The scent of blood was heavy in the air as the Autobots rushed to save their newest human friend. 

Mike was older than the three children that already called the base their home, and his permanent eyebags told of his sleepless lifestyle. The gruff, grouchy young man had only ended up on the battlefield because Miko had pulled one of her famous stunts, leading all four humans into a brutal fire fight. The raven had been hit by a piece of exploded rock, the sharp stone impaling itself into his side. Thankfully, Bumblebee had been nearby, and the scout had scooped up all the humans and rushed them back to base. 

The next few minutes were a flurry of panic. Jack phoned his mother while Ratchet lay a now nearly unconscious Mike on his medical berth, his Medic instincts kicking in as he tried to see what damage he could fix. He’d learned about human medicine and biology after the whole incident with Dark Energon and young Rafael. Reaching forward, he went to remove the now blood-soaked hoodie the man always wore.

“HISSSSSSS!”

“WHAT IN THE NAME OF PRIMUS!” 

Ratchet leapt back as something barreled out of the hood of the sweater, a small figure perching defensively on the human’s chest. It looked like the human food Jack occasionally brought to the base, burgers, he thought, but it was alive.

It was Cybertronian.

The miniscule mech puffed out his plating as much as he could, but Ratchet could see the way his legs shook in fear. His tiny little audials were pinned flat against his helm, and he bared his sharp denta at the bewildered medic. A frightened Bumblebee chirped in alarm, questioning what had just leapt out of their friend’s clothes.

“Back off! I’m not letting you hurt my friend again!” the burger-like mech growled, trying his very best to look bigger than he really was.

“Woah! What is that?” Miko squealed, snapping a few pics.

“Is it some kind of scraplet?” worried Raf.

“Name’s Burgertron, fleshy! I’m a BotBot, not a “scraplet”, whatever that is.” he snarked, still bristling. “And Mike is our human, so, Back. Off.”

Forcing himself to shake off the shock of the situation for now, Ratchet moved once again to remove Mike’s hoodie, much to Burgertron’s displeasure. The little bot snarled and latched onto one of Ratchet’s digits, his little denta and claws catching and tearing the small, delicate wires and softer, touch-sensing metal. Ratchet hissed in pain, jerking his hand back. The movement jostled Burgertron, the BotBot landing back on Mike’s chest with a gentle thump. He hunkered down there, pressing himself into the now moist fabric.

“Christ, BT, chill out!” Mike snapped, hissing as he pushed himself up enough to look at his companion. “I’m bleed’n out here, let him help!”

“But-”

“They’re the good guys! Now get!”

Mike swatted the burger bot gently, using just enough force to knock him off his chest towards his non-injured side. Burgertron grumbled unhappily, but settled down as he pressed himself against the young man’s stomach. He bristled as a now very grumpy Ratchet worked, but made no move to attack him once more. The ambulance did what he could to clean the wound before June showed up, letting the nurse work on Mike while he turned his glare onto the duo. 

“When the other’s return, you,” he said, pointing a digit at the human, “have some explaining to do.”

“Sh’ I call in the rest of ‘em?” Mike’s words slurred slightly, and he felt faint from the blood loss.

“How many are there? Five, ten?” Jack asked.

“Uhhhh...”

“Fifteen, twenty?”

“Uhhhhhhhh...”

Burgertron snorted, crossing his arms. 

“Yeah, try over a hundered.”

[thicctails]

Rough character sheet of my asshole stinky man oc Mike. He lives to torment Dave during his time at the mall and ends up taking the BotBots with him back to his home town of Jasper, Nevada when the mall gets shut down. The BotBots are menaces, especially with the one human they trust, and are not afraid to nip him or steal any items they can carry. God help the Autobots when he discovers them and they try and befriend him tho. Mike is considered BotBot territory and they are not giving him up.
