Skyline!

Finally made a ref for my TFOne OC. I love her she's my silly rabbit. Her name is Skyline and she's shipped with D-16 because, let me level with you, I need him so bad. That's my precious little boy. I need to throw an OC at him so I can project. I'm holding him gently. I hope nothing bad ever happens to them.

Skyline is the youngest member of Sentinel Prime's New High Guard. It has no official affiliation with the original High Guard - which as you know has mysteriously disappeared - but was established shortly after Sentinel took the throne, to retain a feeling of normalcy among the citizens of Iacon. Unlike the original, the new High Guard is a small group of only a dozen or so members, and they exist mostly for the people to look at and feel safe around. They do combat training, but there hasn't been any threat in nearly 50 cycles now, so they don't actually do anything. They're most known for performing breathtaking air stunt shows at events to make Sentinel look even better.

Skyline is a stunt flight prodigy and the youngest member the new High Guard has ever accepted into their ranks. She loves nothing more than learning all the high-risk flight maneuvers. She also takes great pride in her paint job, which is made up of unique high-end colors mixed specifically for her. The gradients on her wings especially flaunt her wealth, as those are incredibly difficult and expensive to maintain. And don't be fooled, she's not prissy - she's the first to jump right into a situation and get her servos dirty if needed. She needs her paint job redone almost daily. It's just that her job pays so well, she doesn't even think twice about spending all that money.

Bless her, she's a sweetheart. She means well. She just does NOT have a concept of how much things cost. She's about to start hanging out with miners and get the culture shock of her life.

Skyline's Team ✈️✨️

[oc team, TFOne]

Meet Skyline's teammates and learn more about her job as a member of the New High Guard, an elite team established by Sentinel Prime to replace the original after their mysterious disappearance.

Currently 7 out of 11 members have been named (and I still have to figure out what to do with Whiplash). Leaving the rest open to interpretation for now, may or may not add them if inspiration ever strikes me.

Hoping to get some art in the future but drawing mecha is not one of my strengths.

Very very open to perhaps receiving some asks etc about these guys to help develop them further! I've been meaning to put some thoughts into the NHG for a while. Of course Skyline has her own friends, she doesn't just hang out with miners all day! I would love to get to yap about them. Maybe about Freefall my beautiful sweet boy. Or whatever the flying fuck is going on between Trip and Trick. Or any of them, really. I just love background characters man.

Sort of in relation to this,

I have this repeat scenario in mind where Darkwing keeps trying to report Skyline to Comet for "clearly being involved with that miner" and Comet just straight up gaslights him about it. What the fuck are you talking about Darkwing I think i would know if a member of my team was sneaking around with a miner. You SAW her? Well i don't know what you saw but Skyline has been with me all morning (She has not seen Skyline all day).

Comet may not approve of Skyline's relationship but like fuck is she gonna let Darkwing be the one to ruin it for her.

I wanna hear more about the NHG but you KNOW I wanna hear about Trip and Trick please tell me everything you have for them I love them they are everything to me I'm so glad nothing bad ever happens to them 💖

HEEHEE. Ah yes, my gunshots to keep the rent down <3

Tripwire and Trickshot are split-spark twins, and as such they were together from the very moment they first came online. Rather than grow into their own individuals and forge their own paths, they formed a rather... unhealthy codependency on each other. Neither of them has ever spent a day without the other, they are practically attached at the hip. No bot has ever met only one of them without also meeting the other half.

Given that their personalities are, let's say, eccentric at best - and that's the polite way to put it - they often clash with other bots. They decided pretty early on that they don't need other bots though, not when they've got each other. They were brought into this world with their perfect match already included - why would they ever want to settle for some other, clearly subpar option?

Don't be fooled by their unhinged antics though, these two mechs have earned their place in the NHG, which accepts only the very best of the best into its ranks. When it comes to their combined skill sets of setting traps and blowing scrap to smithereens, Trick and Trip are near unstoppable, and they'll laugh as they watch you get blown to pieces. Trust me, you don't want to be on their bad side.

You're on their good side, though? You're practically family already! They're like a pair of really odd but fun big brothers who'll make any party a hoot, and will without hesitation be your personal bodyguards if you ever need it. Hope you're not opposed to getting involved in the mother of all prank wars though!

In present day, nobody is really sure what exactly their relationship status is. If you ask, they'll give you a different answer every time. Their team members have learned not to question it (besides, do they even want to know?) All anyone's got are rumors. Many, no doubt, started by Trickshot and Tripwire personally. They collect every single tabloid article speculating about it on a wall of fame in their shared berthroom.

(And then nothing bad ever happens because there never is any war or anything like that, what are you even talking about)

Making myself a lil intro post to pin

Hello everyone! My name's Two (short for 217), though I'm apparently going by Saturn on this blog, which is also fine! I'm in my mid-20s, agender (they/them) and I really love cats.

I was obsessed with TFA (and Prowl, my first love) when I was 13, fell out of the fandom for a long time, and now I'm back! My husband is still beautiful as ever. He's literally shaped me as a person.

I'm getting into other Transformers media now, but I'm still new! So far I've seen Transformers One (4 times. my beloved), TFP, and I'm almost done with Cyberverse.

I'm a selfshipper and OC enthusiast. I don't care much for canon/canon ships, I LOVE making OCs and throwing them at characters I like instead. OC creation is my favorite ever thing to do so expect to see my little guys. And they are kissing my blorbos. Because I'm having fun 🧡

I'm a romantic at heart and am kissing my blorbos daily. But that said, I'm a sucker for angst and exploring dark themes, and will happily inflict pain and suffering upon characters I love and also any observer that gets attached to them <3 sorry not sorry. I am feral for dooming the narratives!

I'll list my favorite characters and OCs under the cut because I have can't-shut-up-disease and autism-fueled insanity so there's a LOT! Asks about either are always very very welcome and I will love you forever.

Lastly, this is a harassment-free zone, we are all friends here! Please take your hate and bad vibes elsewhere, if you want to police how people enjoy things, this is not the place for you. Yes, this means you, antis. Go away.

Selfships/Most Beloved Blorbos

Prowl 🧡 | TFA | the one the only, my beloved husband of 13 years and going strong. Nothing and nobody could ever dethrone him from his top spot he's so special to me. The only s/i from any fandom ever who I'm genuinely not fully comfortable sharing (it's new to me too. Sorry I'm weird about him). We are legally married. Nothing bad has ever happened to him.

D-16 | TF1 | my sweet boy my precious beloved I could have fixed him. He's my little guy. I love him. I want to hold him gently. I selfship with him but I also ship him with Orion I don't care. There are infinite universes and he has two hands in all of them. Well, most of them. He deserves to be loved.

Whirl | I just found out about him and I am obsessed it was hyperfixation at first sight I need him so bad. I've always been weak for a bastard with a fucked up backstory, not to mention those long digitigrade legs are peak character design. Whirl I would do anything for you. 🚁

9. which ocs sleep to complete silence vs. need white noise vs. need music?

Bird needs silence or else she'll be in Alert Mode and unable to get any sleep at all. Nature noises are fine.

Bluescreen is so used to the background noise of Nemesis Shenanigans that she finds silence unsettling. It's not quiet unless something's wrong. Why is nobody yelling in the background somewhere?

Livewire can't stand the silence, but hasn't found anything that does help her sleep yet. (Hint: it's the background noise provided by Ratchet just being in the same room doing his thing.)

If she's feeling safe and relaxed, Razormane will purr herself to sleep.

14. which ocs would mess with another oc just for fun? (harmless pranks)

Wildside is the top contender. She not only would, but does, regularly.

Tripwire and Trickshot have had an ongoing prank war since the moment they were born, and they will make it everyone else's problem. You cannot escape.

20. which ocs prefer working in the dark? which prefer the light? which don’t care?

Phantom prefers the dark simply because her dark frame will blend into the night, making it much easier to hide.

Skyline is very much a daylight person.

Havoc doesn't care about the time of day, but she likes being able to fucking see. You want her to perform surgery in the dark?

Bluescreen also prefers being able to see, but she thinks sitting in a dark room lit up only by computer screens makes her look badass. She keeps the lights off to look cool (girl your eyes).

Leo starts out with daylight and then the sun goes down and he can't be bothered to get up to turn on the lights. He sits in the dark until his aunt or Millie come in and turn them on for him. Goober.

Freefall definitely prefers flying in daylight. Much more fun that way, plus he also prefers to see where he's going.

29. which ocs can talk their way out of any situation?

Trixie. She's a master at this. Bow to your queen.

Ash is pretty decent at it too. You wouldn't expect them to be a good liar, but that's exactly why it works. Nobody suspects them.

34. which ocs are clumsiest? which ocs are graceful?

As for clumsiest, I want to say Bluescreen, but it feels a bit mean considering most of her clumsiness is due to her processor issues. Ableism™.

Crasher is pretty clumsy. He usually hides it well, but if you know him well enough, you know. What do you think he got his nickname for?

Leo has those loser vibes too (affectionate).

Bird is definitely among the most graceful due to ninja training. Good for her.

Skyline and Freefall both display unparalleled grace when in the air. They're named Iacon's best fliers for a reason.

Razormane may be huge and heavy compared to average bots, but her movements rarely show it. She moves like a cat. A very big, very deadly metal cat.

[seeyouonsaturn]

I was just making some background characters so Skyline would have named friends and stuff but oh god I just made myself love Freefall so fucking bad. Freefall my beautiful boy
