WOWIE!! HAPPY 2012 FROM HOT TOPIC!! X3

So I thought it’d be a fun style experiment to draw Em in a sort of late 2000s- early 2010s scene/alternative cartoon inspired art style :,D I’m not entirely sure how well I pulled it off but I’m definitely happy with the result I think!

[orion-archives]

I made a MegaSound fanchild (Fanspawn? Fanspark? Fansparkling???)

Meet Kaon!

^ Adult Kaon ^

- Megatron was the one who named him (because of course he would be the one to name his offspring Kaon). Soundwave loved the idea.

- No, that visor is not something he can take off, that is his face. His actual face.

- Kaon is obsessed with scavanger birds. His favorite is a big bearded vulture he named 'Steelclaw' that he raised from egg. His obsession with birds probably originates from Soundwave's bond with Laserbeak. Why scavanger birds specifically? That's still a mystery.

(These are bearded vultures, in case you didn't know these amazing birds:)

Small concept of Kaon and Steelclaw

The proportions are off, but I really wanted Steelclaw to be visible on Kaon's hand in this sketch. Because in reality, Steelclaw is like a small parrot to adult Kaon.

- As a sparkling, Kaon was very small and slim, with a very fragile looking frame. But growing up he got stronger, resulting that (combined with other factors), as an adult, Kaon is taller than Megatron, very buff and basically a walking tank.

- His alt mode is a AH-64 Apache helicopter.

- Kaon was born (is that the correct term for transformers? Crafted? Created???) with his voice box damaged, making him completly mute. Therefore, Kaon uses radio signals, music and audio/voice clips to communicate.

Some common sounds Kaon uses and their meaning:

- Disco music/Bird chirping: Very happy, excited.

- Animal hisses/Slammed piano keys: Displeased, annoyed, scared, usually when he doesn't like something.

- Air raid sirens/Strings/Screeches/Recordings of actual cries: Terrified, crying, screaming.

- Static/Mix of corrupted noises: In pain, severely stressed.

- Growls/Engine starting noises: Angry, upset.

- Things Kaon loves:

• Cartoons (Megatron watches MLP with him)

• Scavanger birds (Steelclaw is his main bird, but he also takes care of multiple wild vultures and condors)

• Skulls

• Rubber ducks (he likes the noise)

• Music

• Training

• Soft things (plushies, blankets, fur, feathers)

- Things Kaon hates:

• Medical appointments

• Having to stay in the medbay during long periods of time

• Extremely high-pitched noises

● Very bright lights

• "The dark voice that keeps whispering weird things" (wait, the what now–)

• Zombie/vampire movies (Knockout tried)

- Kaon spends more time with Soundwave for safety reasons, but Megatron tries to be with him as much as possible.

- If Kaon doesn't have a normal face, how does he eats?

...Yeah.

Speaking of that, this brings me to another Kaon fact. Well, a few, unfunny, facts:

- Due to Megatron's past use of dark energon, Kaon was born with tons of health issues or body anomalies. A list of the main health problems and things that Kaon has as a result of having dark energon in his entire frame since creation are:

○ Constant headaches

○ Seizures

○ Chronic pain

○ Having a Terrorcon mouth

○ Unnatural amount of strenght

○ Damaged voice box since birth

○ Hearing voices

○ Nightmares and visions of things he hasn't even knowledge of

- Megatron hates himself because of this, since it was his use of dark energon that caused Kaon being born with medical problems. He suffers a lot everytime Kaon has to stay on the medbay due to another complication, when someone looks at Kaon with disgust or horror when he has to drink energon or just all the nights Kaon has woken up crying because he is scared or in pain for an unexplained reason.

- To end this post on a better note, here's a sparkling Kaon I doodled at 2 in the morning because of insomnia:

He tiny

[le-agent-egg]

in the process of making two new fanspawns for thh anyone have any ideas for a talent even remotely related to either edgy detective or ultimate inheritance inheritor

[simm-mouse]

Oh god, this is me with the two fanspawns that have the same blood in their veins as Nervous. One was once a figment of his imagination, and saw a flour sack as said imaginary child. Until there was a potion that made him a real boy. And then the other was a cloning gone wrong, ended up a genetic accident without his knowledge until after. But of course in the Sims 2 you can't make that happen, so I had to make him pregnant through cheats just so they can exist💀

One was even just playing around with genetics. I didn't think about it so I got him pregnant with Lilibet💀💀. I don't know why but I saved a few screenshots of her being born alien baby style

The faces match the picture too😭

I don't have one with Needles, because I was focusing on making him appear in my game. But since I kept both of them as fankids, I didn't want the reason for them existing because some creature took a shit twice😰

A creature like Nervous can't have biological kids the natural way, they gotta be created instead of being born. Like homunculi

Work in progress

Okay i’ve had them forever and have redone them a thousand times, but I here they are.....the entrapdak fan spawn

Normally i don’t do fanspawn, but for some reason i felt it for Entrapdak the need and i cannot explain why. Had them forever, constantly redesiging them trying to find the right mix of entrapta and hordak. For now here they are.

1. Hadyn (typically youngest and the only one to get moving hair EVER)

2. Estrella (sometimes the middle child sometimes not, white patch in a star shape consistent)

3. Hadar (always the oldest and typically looking the most like his dad)

4. Electra she blips in and out of existence as I struggle with the idea of entrapta and hordak having four kids!

Enjoy my entrapdak insanity fueled by the bravery of those posting their entrapdak fan spawn!

“Rescue Bots style Em isn’t real she can’t hurt you”

Rescue Bots style Em:

ANYWAYS. This was supposed to be a QUICK style test, but it actually ended up taking almost EXACTLY ten hours to complete 💀💀 The RB style is deceptively simple from a first glance. It Is Not.

This is a result of me waking up in a cold sweat at 6am thinking “wouldn’t it be funny if-“ TEN HOURS OF ALMOST NONSTOP WORKING LATER

also almost gave her an ankle monitor because heehoo juvenile delinquent doing community service or something

[spiritshaydra]

Made a set of icons for Requiem’s Toyhouse page! (and Art Fight!) Ngl, I REALLY like how these turned out, so I might make more for my other characters.

[spiritshaydra]

Okay so I was digging through my notebooks for sketches and I found some High Quality Requiems that I may or may not have posted if so I’m sorryy

This batch of shittens ranges from fall 2022 when I was still figuring out her design to like,, last semester methinks

Also teen/young adult design concept jumpscare (the holoform with the skull bandana and the headshot next to the vacant stare gremlin)

[spiritshaydra]

Has ‘Em ever interacted with the Autobots? Because I lowkey want to see Megs trash someone for attacking her. Also, unrelated, but who carried her?

I THINK SHE DEFINITELY DOES AT SOME POINT. But I’m having trouble deciding on when and how it would go down, and if it should be shitposty or not. 😭 (I’m open to suggestions!)

Of course, t h i s is very much a possibility that could happen.

[BONUS]

As for the last question? I’d like y’all to guess. :)c

Have the backgrounds to the shitpost as a bonus lmao 😭

[spiritshaydra]

Does Em ever witness her parents being lovey-dovey? (Assuming that Megs and Soundy show affection)

PS: Em seems like she would blink one eye at a time LOL

OHOHOHOHO THAT LAST PART HAD ME HOWLING BECAUSE YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

I think they do show affection around her, but it’s in a more subtle and “classy” sort of way and absolutely not like the OTHER couple onboard the Nemesis’ methods at all. Knockout and Breakdown are definitely that obnoxious PDA couple who are no different than that one high school couple that blocks the lockers or hallway to make out in the middle of passing period. Absolutely insufferable. Yes, those two flirt with each other in the middle of surgery and it makes Starscream want to die as he can’t escape.

Meg and Soundwave though? Theirs usually involves Meg reciting poetry like the theater kid he is, with Soundwave listening intently, fingers intertwined. They DO however, have their insufferable moments every once in a while.

Case in point-

Which Em loudly reacts to in typical little kid fashion

[spiritshaydra]

This is kinda a rush job and I still haven’t really figured out how to do things correctly, but I sculpted Em’s holoform :,)

She kinda looks like she has brachycephaly because I made her face too flat uhhhhh-

I also tried sculpting Quantum’s holoform the night prior but I forgot to save and Nomad purged it the moment I went to go share this wip screenshot to my friends 💀💀💀

It did the same to the Meg I was working on :,))

[spiritshaydra]

OI WE GOT A RUNNER

Anyways, here’s a fullbody turned headshot for this beast’s Artfight bio 💀

[spiritshaydra]

ITS 5:55AM ITS EMPOSTING TIME

Why? I’m awake and can’t sleep that’s why 💀 it’s tOO HOT HERE.

ANYWAYS. Holoform/human adjacent Requiem doodles <3

She’s definitely that random ass kid that doggy paddles up to you at the pool, tells you that her dad’s a war criminal, and then asks to play mermaids 💀

[spiritshaydra]

Okay yeah gonna say screw it and just post the fullbody I finished back in November because her ref is taking too long and I wanna share my cringe ass nae nae hellspawn 😭

OKAY SO

THIS IS REQUIEM (Or just “Em”)

And she’s a Megasound fanspawn,, bear with me, I’ve never made an oc like this before so I’ve been extremely nervous to show the creature off. 💀(especially since this is the fancharacter type I avoided making at all costs when in high school despite it leading to some very interesting character development.) Eventually I just said screw it, I’m proud of the design and character work I’ve been developing since August, I’m going to show her off.

I don’t really take her all too seriously as I originally made her to shitpost because I thought it’d be funny. And like my main TFP OC Quantum, she eventually grew past that and became something more. (While still keeping her silly at the same time)

I have. A LOT. Of development for this single celled organism that prolly won’t fit in one post, so on here I’m just going to do a sort of character bio thing (based on the format of Quantum’s Toyhouse bio) to introduce her. (Maybe I’ll do a Q&A sort of thing if anyone’s actually interested in that?)

HERE WE GO:

Name: Requiem (Em for short)

Name Origin: This is what happens when you put a poetry/mythology nerd and a music nerd in a room together and have them name something. You get a name with origins in both music and literature (A music or literary composition that acts as a form of remembrance for the souls of the dead.) annnnnnd a reference to a mythological figure (the name of Megatronus/The Fallen’s weapon, the Requiem Blaster. Gee sure wonder who’s idea that was.) Unfortunately, the goblin who was given that name has a grand total of two brain cells and has as much class as a hagfish.

Gender: female

Pronouns: she/her

Species: Cybertronian

Height:  12ft approximate (for design depicted above)/ 30ft (adult; not pictured)

Alt-Mode: (Base) Cybertronian heavy bomber/ (Earth) Tupolev Tu-160 Blackjack

Home Planet: Earth

Faction: Decepticon

Pre-War Occupation: Did not exist before the war.

Personality: Requiem is loud, stubborn, rude, mischievous, a little naive, and all around a feral mess. Absolutely no filter. Textbook example of “curiosity killed the cat”. The champion of the age-old schoolyard discussion of “my dad can beat up your dad.” For… obvious reasons.

She’s easily bored and easily distracted, and thinks it’s entertaining to mess with other bots in the form of stupid pranks and barrages of questions.

Has a bit of a potty mouth and gets creative with her insults.

A fembo (but a lil mean) was told to use her head in a fight, but ended up head butting the opponent and subsequently knocking them out as a result.

As a result of (EXTREME) helicopter parenting combined with adrenaline junkie behavior, Requiem has the tendency to be an escape artist and to purposely seek out potentially dangerous situations such as but not limited to: Diving into a hurricane (to see what would happen), storm chasing (the bigger the better! Also to see what would happen), playing Icarus and getting struck by lightning on the Flight Deck of the warship (STRIKE ME DOWN ZEUS), sneaking out of the Nemesis and simultaneously smuggling all sorts of creepy crawlies and other organic critters back on board (has to be shaken out just to be sure.), being a little too interested in volcanic activity, sneaking weapons out of the armory and attempting to join the fight, and sneaking away from the ship to “explore”. Em wrangling is a very tiring objective.

If Rumble and Frenzy were alive, they would’ve definitely gotten along. (And would’ve been an unstoppable force of chaos oh gOD.)

She likes the pastel magical horse show about friendship, LOVES stickers, and her absolute favorite color is the most obnoxious eye bleeding shade of pink imaginable. (She was denied changing her PRIMARY paint job color to it for obvious reasons. Honey, that is a LOOK and not exactly a good one.)  She likes to pretend to be a gladiator. She likes to give people really stupid and bad nicknames for the hell of it. A favorite being combining the first few letters of a name or descriptor with “uncle”. She thinks it’s hilarious. A little too interested in arson and explosives. Her music taste can be described as “2012 Warrior cats amv” and “noise”. Really likes slasher films for some reason.

She exhibits several behaviors that could only be described as those of a cryptid. (…or cat.) These range from being able to sneak up on others and move without making a sound, staring unblinkingly and expressionlessly at things and other bots, climbing up and perching on top of things, noise mimicry, recharging facedown in a deathlike manner, and the worst thing being how she used to skitter across the walls and ceilings of the Nemesis as a sparkling. There were a handful of instances where she got into the vents of the ship and it was a nightmare trying to coax her back out. Oh yeah. There was a biting problem.

Requiem either hates or actively dislikes things ranging from water, being told to stay still, the thunder part of thunderstorms, the medbay, and being quarantined.

Her social ability leaves much to be desired, as she was raised in total isolation from her own age group, so she lacks most social skills as a result. Because of this, she often comes across as “weird” and as a bully, even if unintentional. Due to her isolated upbringing, she is a very lonely individual despite not exactly acting the part. Being routinely quarantined does not help that feeling of loneliness in the slightest. Em wants nothing more than a friend, or at least an acquaintance to spend time with. It’s just that, given who her parents are, that makes things impossible.

She has a very unhealthy view on death, as it isn’t exactly rare onboard the Nemesis. Surprisingly, she was actively kept away and shielded from most of the fighting as a child- however, in wartime there’s only so much one could be protected from even as the child of the highest ranking individuals of the faction.

[spiritshaydra]

There was mention of Em hating being quarantined in her bio, what is she quarantined for?

:)

:)c

Oooh I’ve been waiting for someone to ask that~ <3

(Her bio post can be found here)

Requiem has some sort of a chronic illness. It’s incurable, and she’s always had it. Having a creator whose spark has been tainted by a substance as toxic to Cybertronian life such as dark energon will tend to do that. When Requiem’s spark was first kindled, it was subsequently tainted by the presence of dark energon during the merge. She has permanent dark energon exposure symptoms that will worsen over time before going back to being virtually undetectable after treatment. Rinse and repeat. Her symptoms include extreme fatigue, disorientation, dizziness, loss of temperature regulation systems, loss of balance, and loss of coordination during the peak of its effects. Since her spark is slightly tainted by dark energon, it slowly affects the rest of her energon supply as the normal energon attempts to neutralize it- which fully isn’t possible due to the nature of her spark. As a result, her energon could be used as an indicator for how close to having an “attack” she is as the higher the level of dark energon exposure, the more purple her blood is.

When an attack occurs, her systems have to be fully flushed by a transfusion of fresh energon while she’s hooked up to machinery to externally regulate her systems. When this happens, she’s quarantined to the medbay until treatment is complete and she shows no symptoms of dark energon exposure. She despises it. This also includes keeping away a certain someone because of how he practically gives off a dark energon signature like an irradiated object- albeit far more subtly to where his presence NORMALLY wouldn’t be too big of an issue.

It’s debilitating when she’s younger, but she adapts and gets more accustomed to dealing with it as she gets older to where it’s just another routine as annoying as it is. Of course some days are worse than others, but she makes do with it.

Here have an older sketch (might look a little wonky because I was still figuring out her design when I did this ^^’)
