A poll for other Tarn lovers because I keep thinking about it and am curious

I would've put an option for Tarn being ugly but I'm worried people who don't even like Tarn would pick that just as a meme answer to make fun of him so sorry.

Also yes I know we've seen his face in the comics but I'm asking for personal headcanons independent of how the characters are drawn (which can vary depending on the artist/style) in canon.

Mainly asking because in a lot of art I see of maskless Tarn (drawn by people I know or just random artists online), it seems like a lot of the time Tarn is drawn with a rather beautiful/bishie face and now I'm just curious if people specifically see Tarn as having a prettyboy face or if it's just some sort of art style thing/coincidence.

#mtmte #mtmte tarn #idw tarn #idw transformers #squiggposting #i didn't think about it much but i think i personally lean towards pretty boy face #esp since i picked up the personal headcanon/joke that tarn is the shockop child. and shockwave is very beautiful and tarn got those looks #also like idk i think it's weirdly kind of fitting?? speaking mostly from a human perspective but tarn's body/overall vibes #are like incredibly hyper masculine. it's part of the tough badass vibes he has going on superficially #but if he has a beautiful bishie face under the mask it's like. a subversion. or like two diff types of masculinity being repped at once #that and bishie is associated with youthfulness and even tho tarn isn't young in terms of age #i think bc of his mentoring/grooming by megatron i see him as like a pseudo son of him in a way #so tarn having that youthful beauty/bishonen kind of face reflects that #kinda goes with the theme that under the mask of toughness tarn is just a lost little boy #and i figure a youthful/pretty face reflects that sort of naivete and black and white worldview tarn is burdened with
