One of my favorite things about Crosshair is that while he is a silent caretaker and a protector he is first and foremost a hater. He is ALWAYS willing to provoke people that even mildly activate his guard dog senses and he is also the first one to call his people on their bullshit. Almost every gif we have of him really truly smiling he is actively antagonizing someone, making fun of his family, or chuckling because his family got his ass back and I think thats beautiful. More hater - protector dichotomies need to be portrayed in media.

Ah I remember my question now!! Since Ezra is a growing boy, how does that impact his prosthetic use? I'm assuming they can't just go get him refitted like normal... do they help him resize? Do they build new parts? Or help him find some?

Hiii!! :D) So I doodled out my thoughts as I pondered this question but my handwriting is ass so… I’m also gonna write a little summary too!

Ezra's first Prosthetic was given to him by the same people who performed the amputation on his leg in the first place. Some concerned Lothali citizens who couldn't bare to watch him hop around on his severely infected leg any longer. 12 year old Ezra was pretty pissed about it though (understandably). It didn't help that his first prosthetic was old as balls and awful to walk on.

Thankfully, using bits n bobs he'd collected out on the streets, Ezra was able to tighten the loose hinges at the joints and modify the top to fit better. Alas, he ended up loosing this leg after bopping Kallus over the head with it pretty early on into joining the spectres.

Hera set him up with a pair of crutches and then devoted herself to finding him a replacement. She was determined to find something that was better than his last prosthetic and thought she'd struck gold when she figured out Vizago had one sitting in storage. She haggled hard but eventually managed to pocket the rarity, and delivered it back to Ezra. Sabine helped modify it fit to properly, and to Ezra's delight he discovered that the hinges on this leg were motion activated, and could pack an even better punch (or kick) than his previous one.

Ezra hadn't really manage to curb his habit of using his leg as a weapon on occasion, and during such an incident ended up losing leg 2 (much to Hera's despair). Thankfully, Sabine had helped Ezra do enough maintenance on his last two legs that she was confident she could fix up some similar prototypes using her engineering skills. The spectres all contributed to a scrap box that would be used to build replacement legs whenever Ezra ended up losing or outgrowing one. All of them were very dedicated to scouting out parts for him and happy to help with maintenance.

At some point the rebellion had gotten large enough to start having a more organised healthcare system, and Ezra was offered a spot on the surgery waitlist for cybernetics. Ezra was initially hesitant, however, post the incident on Malachor he eventually agreed.

The cybernetic, although not the most advanced for it's time, is connected to his nerves giving him full mobility over the prosthetic. However, it came with it's own new quirks that took some getting used to. Detaching and Reattaching the cybernetic takes between 2-5 minutes to do, and often requires tools to help, rendering it no longer an option as a spontaneous mid battle weapon. As a result there was no longer need for him to cut holes in the left leg of his trousers either.

Ezra doesn't sleep with the cybernetic (same as one wouldn't with a prosthetic) cause it would be hella uncomfortable. On lazy days, he often goes without it, opting to use crutches around base instead. The cybernetic is waterproof, however, in both snow and sand it can sometimes become clogged and stiff, and may need extra maintenance after the mission is complete. The ghost crew is always willing to help pitch in with their engineering expertise (mainly Hera, Sabine and Chopper) or spare part gathering.

Anywho,,, yeah. I hope that sort of answers that question?? I'm not 100% familiar with how prosthetics and cybernetics work in the Star Wars universe so forgive me if some of this info doesn't check out. ( also if u see a spelling mistake,,, no u don't)

Transformers X Haso

I need more transformers x Humans are space orcs.

I need these smol, delicate humans the autobots have to protect to pull out Molotov cocktails and destroy decipticon joints.

I need a teacher to mix up a swimming pool size batch of oobleck and trap a cybertronian in it to protect his students.

I need humans using acid, or throwing rocks in joints, or otherwise inconveniencing decepticons while the autobots get more and more concerned.

I need Optimus or Ratchet to morosely bring up something that happened in the war, and a human to be like, "Oh that. Yeah, we made that illegal, it wasn't considered sporting." or "Wait, you guys have been fighting for how long, and that's the most extreme thing you did?"

I need a bot or a con to get curious and open a history book, and the next morning be traumatized by the shit humanity has done.

I need Humans that get tired of the whole, "Humanity is smol and fragile" shtick, and decide to go kill decipticons so they stop attacking the autobots.

I need Optimus to slowly realize we are not cute, fluffy little creatures, but agents of chaos and destruction. Beings who will destroy anyone and anything that threatens our family, and we consider the bots family.

thinking about 17's grievous incident again

(he also sent the pic to Grievous)

shebse interactions once again inspired by @thefoundationproject, because I feel like Priority would have Much To Say about it

and the version without the priority additions

I just talked a bit too much about staring, growling and Commander Wolffe 🐺 @ghostymarni So that's the result: get stared down by him for a little bit practice you'll need to win the staring contest and to support your awesome staring project 😎✨

I tag @lonewolflupe also for bringing up the idea and @jetii to have a stare too hehe 😁 and for sharing my excitement and fun about Marni's project 🫶 Eo is looking 🤩

If you can hold the stare you might get a growl of him 🫠 Beware, this one might also bite… 🙈

And I made the mistake listening to „Into the Shadows“ from Universal Production Music during drawing and so this piece got a little bit dangerous enticing Wolffe in the woods vibes 🐺🌕 awwoooooo ✨😱

Have a closer look if you dare to deal with THIS eyes... ✨ And I didn’t expect to get his cybernetic eyes that glowing 🤩

... so don't get lost or join me running with the wolves:

Taglist: @eclec-tech @bixlasagna @returnofthepineapple @sunshinesdaydream @covert1ntrovert @general-ida-raven @vrycurious @dystopicjumpsuit @chaicilatte

My personal ALT text mission (1 additional ALT-Text for a previous artwork with each new art posting!): 

Quite the opposite to the mysterious, dangerous, dark and brooding Commander here and maybe the only clone who would dare to proceed whatever he's doing despite being glared and roasted under the stare of Wolffe, I guess 😁

So I just realized that Echo and Saw are most likely in the rebellion at the same time and I just thought to myself that Saw better PRAY that he doesn’t run across Echo.

How did this scan not pick up on Echo's cybernetics?

[doctor-amazing]

Imagine being a transhuman conscript in the Cyber-Wars of 2055 and you’re lying in a trench bleeding out and your cybernetics are glitching your vision is splotchy and distended like a bad CRT and you’re thinking of lost loves and regrets while the coolant leaks out of your side and suddenly the zoomers on the other side crack the encryption on the battle-net channels and this image is projected onto your man-machine interface like ranchhand’s brand stamping it into your vision

I want to talk about Sketch more but i never draw him :,)

[lions-and-men-musical]

Hector’s helmet in Lions & Men (sci-fi trojan war musical that I’m writing):

In The Iliad, one of Hector’s main epithets is “of the Shining Helm” (or flashing helmet depending on translator), which is one of my personal favorites because of a specific scene I’ll talk abt later

(I don’t have my iPad rn so excuse my finger drawings lol)

most of the time in Battle, Hector has the first helmet, until he uses sort of like a power-up type thing (think Barbarian Rage in DnD), where the Mohawk comes out, which both looks more like Ancient Greek helmets and makes Hector look more like Ares

the helmet can just kind of vanish/disintegrate via cyborg magic that approximately nobody wants to hear abt, so it’s easy to just kind of click on & off

in Episode 5, when Hector goes to his wife & their baby after a battle, he leaves the Helmet on, causing the baby Astyanax to not recognize his father and start crying. This is a retelling of the scene from the Iliad I mentioned. It’s one of my favorites in the Iliad, so I knew I had to include it.

I love how it shows that what Hector is most known for (the helmet, representing war) is what scares his child the most; it makes him unrecognizable to his loved ones yet it is what he’s loved for; and a big theme in Lions and Men is what war does to people and how it changes them (this theme is VERY prominent in the Achilles storyline)

everyday I tell myself I need to get normaler abt Hector and everyday I fail

also some art of him w/o the helmet for those who haven’t seen it:

Sam Jones

This is Sam Jones, a character of mine for my post apocalyptic setting.

The damned corpse, eepy cyberpunk cyborg isekai protag extraordinaire. Despite appearances, they are still alive.

They just fell asleep for 400,000 years and their skin and flesh was slowly devoured by rats, leaving only the bones, brain, and implants.

But they had so many implants that they're fine, though. Minor inconvenience really. In fact, they kinda like it. Very relatable experience, I know.

I think it’s really funny if no one can tell what gender they are because they’re just a skeleton, and Sam’s not telling, so everyone has no choice but to use they/them pronouns.

(or the gender-neutral equivalent in the future universal language of the birds, Lingua Isa {English is a dead language in the future})

Anyways, Sam has become the unwilling McMuffin for a group of mostly evil machine gods as part of some mysterious plot whose cults have been pursuing them across the globe.

Which is a GREAT call to adventure, wake up from an isekai nap and immediately need to go on an adventure or else get ????ed by a broken god.

Luckily, Sam is a cyperpunk, from a near future cyberpunk dystopia, so they know how to handle themself. Yeah, they've been in a fight or two (they were all in VR and not real, but still).

Sam has never really cared about learning about stuff before, but man, this new world they find themself in has some pretty good lore. They've actually caught themself reading scrolls! About history and biology and culture!! Without even being forced to!!! Exposition!!!!

Fun Fact: They canonically used to be a Tumblr-er(?) back when that hellsite still existed, thank god it doesn’t anymore, am I right?

Fun Fact: Sam has millions of hours logged into the copy of Candy Crunch Chronicle that came pre installed on one of their brain implants. (They played it in their dreams)

Fun Fact: Sam may or may not be short for Samuel (it’s not).
