So G1 SG au

Elita One — Purple with red optics

Chromia — Red with blue optics

Lancer — Green & gold with ??? optics

Greenlight — Purple & white with green optics

Moonracer — Pink with ??? optics

Firestar — ???

Some overlap, but baseline had multiple purple Decepticons.

Makes sense, these all sound cool

Honestly for Firestar I kept getting icky shades because of her current color setup

Hey-hey i'm alive! :D

And And I've got a little bunch of stuff for you

He's the biggest fan of cygate, I think we all agree on that <¦3

I decided to try palettes from Pinterest and draw Crummy at the same time:D

And the last Greenlarcee! I think we should talk more about these two Girlfriends<;) (I took the g1 version because I can't draw the comic book versions yet)

Chromia being a racer in TFO while the rest of the G1 girls are cogless miners 😭

elita-one redesign (sword close up under the cut)

[hercarisntyours]

the female autobots should be a girl group like the knights of unicron

[redsea8me]

Playing around w/ facial designs for the girls ❤️ in my quest to redesign Elita’s group

so, in order we have Chromia, Firestar, Moonracer, Lancer and then Greenlight!! I really like how they all came out, I was mostly playing w/ shapes and trying to figure out their personalities, but it’s all subject to change (I do really like GL’s cleft lip tho, probably keep that)

[final-milf-ratchet]

I think there's a big untapped market for shockwave/female autobots. Mainly cause I wanna see shockwave destroyed by like 6 different spikes.

Remember girls! He can't do evil science if he's too full of spike to move! 😇

I love her

Breakdown: Arcee

Boy, do I have a treat for you.

How I feel about this character: Sheeeeeeeee. <3

I haven't read any of her stories in the comics, but I enjoyed the Arcee from TFP a lot. She's got her own struggles, she broods a lot, and she has to learn to heal from her trauma over losing her previous partners and let go of the hatred that clouded her judgement at times. I vibe with her closed off defensive personality, and I think her being trans like in IDW1 and being wary of mistreatment would add another layer of depth to her personality and motivations.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Hehe, I like the Greenlight ship. Yeah yeah, I'm using the IDW1 trans identity and the IDW2 lesbian relationship. You can't stop me. I find their potential interesting, with Greenlight being a more level headed scientist who already has a community among Elita One's team, while Arcee is still trying to find her place in the Autobots when she meets her. Arcee hasn't been there for that long compared to the other Autobots, and she hasn't felt at home there yet. Granted, she hasn't felt at home anywhere she's been since her childhood, and even that was kinda shit. So when she meets this group of women, some like her, she feels like the world got brighter. And that connection she makes with Greenlight gives her something to be happy for when she wakes up in the morning.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Tailgate, Cyclonus, Prowl, Springer, Hot Rod, GALVATRON- She has a lot of people around her that she has interesting dynamics with. I mentioned this in my Cyclonus breakdown, but I think they come from similar backgrounds. Like Cyclonus, Arcee and her twin were forged with dark sparks (my current term for the Dark Energon sparks), and they both grew up in different versions of that culture. Cyclonus was part of his town's church in Tetrahex, and he grew up playing the ceremonial drums and singing holy ballads since childhood. The twins, however, were basically raised in a cult town (more on that later). Despite that, they have a shared heritage that isn't often discussed or appreciated like those of the Thirteen. Arcee and Cyclonus have a mutual respect for each other, both as fighters and as comrades. He was rather disappointed in her when she defected and left Galvatron behind. He's not one to forget a slight against his faction, and he can hold a grudge for a long time if he believes it's justified. He was still upset at her for a long time after she left, and he still was a few million years later when they met again.

Tailgate was her partner in the intelligence department. It was Prowl who took her in as one of his subordinates, as the other members of high command weren't too fond of her. He had a preference for pairing up his subordinates; one he kept from serving as an enforcer in Praxus. He intentionally paired Arcee up with Tailgate, who had recently returned from medical leave after battling Cybercrosis, which he was able to beat thanks to Pharma developing a cure. His extended absence left him without a partner, and Prowl saw it as the perfect opportunity to expose Arcee to socializing in their faction. At first, Arcee was less than pleased to be working with Tailgate. His chipper demeanor and childish attitude made her feel like more of a babysitter than an equal partner. She didn't even like kids. After working with him, she finds that he's quite intelligent, more than she gave him credit for, and he gets shit done on missions. She decided he wasn't so bad to hang out with in time. It was Arcee that originally didn't want Tailgate hanging around Cyclonus, but she was moved after a little while of Cyclonus being there.

Ok, now this is getting kinda long, so I'll just do one more. GALVATRON. Her beloved, stupid moronic twin brother. Her and Galvatron have always had it rough, even as children. The two of them grew up in what was basically a cult that worshipped Unicron as their god. Their town in the Darklands was small and rather rural, and they weren't welcome outside of their own community due to the fear around dark sparks. They always supported each other, even when no one else did. Galv was the first person to really listen to Arcee about her struggles with gender, and he still is her most vocal supporter. They fought like hell to stay together, even when outside forces tried so hard to separate them. They bicker and argue all the time, and from the outside it seems like they don't like each other, but they have an unbreakable bond. Galvatron was devastated when she left. They'd stuck together all this time, and when they finally have their own freedom and control of their lives, she ran away. He was hurt and angry with her, but he was also very sad, even if he refused to show it. They wouldn't end up meeting again face-to-face for a few million years, but they crossed paths many times, and each knew when the other was near. Both of them see their broken bond as a tragedy.

Enough of my ranting, back to the post.

My unpopular opinion about this character: They make her so dainty and thin in everything, and I'm not a fan. Like, especially with her relation to Galv, and them having a similar frame type when forged, I feel like she should be more buff. She did get a reformat done, but I feel like she would still be a bigger bot based on my interpretation of her. She was a gladiator, she's a heavy hitter, and she values her power as a means to defend herself from further hurt. Let her be buff dammit.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Let her be bros with the Wreckers again. The dynamic between her, Springer, and Hot Rod was funny. I want that, except with her as less of a generic woman character. They weren't great at writing female characters in the 80s. And I'd like them to have a friendship without there being this implied love triangle thing or whatever. One thing I appreciate is when there are explicit platonic relationships between men and women characters without the "they have to be romantically involved" subtext. That doesn't mean don't ship any characters if they work well together, but I hate forced straight relationships where the writers feel like they have to make two characters kiss because they're the opposite gender. Write people normally, please.

If you want more of these, please ask. I love doing these. I have a more in depth origin story for them, including the cult they grew up in and their tenure with Jhiaxus.

Some G1/G1 SG au Greenlight altmode ideas for Earth (green & white for baseline, purple & white for SG).

I think all of them had 2-door and 4-door versions. I don't know specific manufacturers, and googling "tailfin car" sadly doesn't get a complete list for some reason. No canon character transforms into a tailfin car, so there's no toy to reference kibble or transformation blueprint from. So, help?

(1958 Plymouth Fury)

(1958 Plymouth Savoy)

(1957 DeSoto Firedome)

(1958 DeSoto Firedome Sportsman)

(1959 DeSoto Firedome Sports)

Personally I think the last one looks pretty cool, and in her colors I think it'd look neat

G1 Autobot holoforms/human forms Part 4: The Shield of Solus (and other Female Autobots)

Note: The “Shield of Solus” are a gestalt (combiner team) that merge into Orthia, officially consisting of Elita-1’s Squadron…minus Chromia (sorry ya got left out, my gal 💔).

I mean the gestalt name definitely sounds better than somethin’ like the “Fembots”, ‘cause why not equally try to imagine a gestalt called the “Mascbots” lol.

Ah, gender. It’s all performative anyway, and I think so especially for Cybertronians (that’s a discussion to be saved for another post, though).

Here we go (and before ya ask, Elita’s here—just in Part 1):

Chromia

Firestar/Novastar

Moonracer

Greenlight

Lancer

Arcee

⭐️ Bonus ⭐️

Windblade

“But Windblade’s face plate design was inspired by Kabuki not geishas—“

Yes, but modern Kubuki theatre is exclusively performed by male actors, even for female roles.

How that interesting fact connects to Windblade’s whole design philosophy, can also be worth another discussion post.

"Aileroy was here" continues :3

[carelessapples]
