Buff, Japanese, and Bald.
Those were the keywords you put into the "Life Change" app thinking it was some sort of joke app thinking you could really change your body in a instant.
But then... your head started to groan in pain. Memories you never experienced entered your brain as your body began to grow in mass and muscle. The faces of your parents in your memories began to morph as they became japanese and your own face became more asian plus knowledge of the japanese language being all you knew. Soon enough you had the body of a bodybuilder and the ethnicity of japanese. The last change as any hair on the top of your head fell off giving you a shiny bald scalp. An unexpected change become known as your intelligence was reduced to that of a brick. You couldn't help but immediately strip, exposing your new musculature to an imaginary audience and flexing while smiling with not a thought in sight.
"私は筋肉質です!" (I am muscle!)

Cybertronian names and vocalizations headcanons:
It's not hard to figure out that, upon encounter with humans, cybertronians had to adapt their speech for us to be able to understand them. They also had to translate their names and give them vocalization patterns that otherwise could be not understandable or replicable by humans. Now, let's take a step back and try to figure out how cybertronians would communicate vocally between one another:
Their speech patterns would consist mainly of mechanical noises, such as engine whirring, screeches, clanking, chirping, popping, hissing, and many more. You can refer to this article for a more detailed list of noises.
These sounds don't come just from their mouths (or intakes if you want to use the correct cybertronian term), but their whole bodies, as their many different mechanical components are an integral part of this array of noises. Humans do communicate through body language, but we don't look at someone cracking their knuckles or popping their elbow and go "understandable, have a great day". To us, these noises mean nothing. To cybertronians, they constitute an integral part of communication. However, no cybertronian would be able to assign a meaning to the noise of a human joint popping, simply because that very peculiar noise does not exist in cybertronian language.
This said, cybertronians hence communicate with vast vocalizations coming from their whole bodies. And they can mix them, too. A whir and a clicking sound separately mean two different things, together they have a whole new meaning that might be an entire phrase. This process is similar to some human languages too. For example, linguists out there come help me, in Japanese the word for teacher "先生" is composed of two kanjis that, alone, have two different meanings: "先" meaning "previous" and "生" meaning "life". HOWEVER, in this case the two noises are replicated one after another.
In Cybertronian language, 3 different things can happen: - 2 sounds are made separately, they mean two separate things; - 2 sounds are made one after another, they constitute a phrase; - 2 sounds are made at the same time and overlap, they now compose one new unique sound that means something else entirely.
Of course, humans are only able to make one sound at a time, so replicating the overlapping sounds is impossible. For this reason, cybertronians must find a way to convey complex meanings in their language in a way that is possible for humans to comprehend. Most importantly, they need to translate their names in human language, closely enough that the original meaning isn't lost.
This magnificent post here explained how this process might occur, and offered a unique way to convey meaning into cybertronian names.
I might make another post on how cybertronian names are born, but that's a talk for another time.
For now, let's focus on the NAME STRUCTURE.
Starscream, for example. Again, refer to the aforementioned post. His name roughly translates to "he who screams in defiance of death". Another possibile translation could be "he who screams (at the stars) in defiance of death". Now we might be overcomplicating things, but imagine if there's a particular verb in cybertronian language that precisely refers to screaming as in "screaming to the sky/stars". Imagine Starscream's name contains that verb.
Do you follow? Good, let's overcomplicate it further. "Death" in cybertronian language might be one of those words whose sound can be used in overlap with other words, is often used alone due to its importance. The noun for death is, however, used in overlap with adjectives / verbs. If we keep following that logic, we can conclude that Starscream's name is composed of two consecutive sounds, one meaning "screaming to the stars" (one sound) and another being "in defiance of death / death being defied" (two overlapping sounds, coming out as one). Okay, the hard part is out. If you've kept up until now, you'll have no issues understanding the rest.
How would cybertronians be able to translate this complex name? They have no choice but to butcher it a bit, and since "death screamer" or "death defier" don't sound appealing, they chose to cut off the death part completely and keep the verb with its extended meaning "screaming to the stars". Ladies and gents and everyone in between, that's how "Starscream" is born.
The name phonetics are kept as closely accurate to the original sound as possible.
There are, thank Primus, names that don't contain overlapping noises and can be somewhat pronounced by humans. However, keep in mind that Cybertronian is a very sound-oriented language much like Chinese or Arab. Your vocalization must be precise or else it might take on a whole new meaning.
For example, let's imagine "Tarn" is pronounced with a single noise, or two or more consequential noises, that sound simple enough to the human ear. Phonetically speaking, it'd come out as: - the sound of engines turning on; - a very loud and grating revving noise; - and finally the natural noise of engines stopping. It'd come out as "T-rrrrrrrrrrr-nh". It is pronounceable by humans precisely? Hell no, but you might be able to come close with a throaty sound and a rolling R. If the noise you just made is close enough to get a phonetical pass, congrats! You can now speak 0.0000000000001% Cybertronian. Don't do that in front of the decepticon fanatic though, he might not appreciate anyway.
Cybertronian language rarely contains vowels. Cybertronians on earth have adapted their names to contain vowels and make the sound more comprehensible (See the noise for "Tarn" not containing the "a").
A bunch on examples on how Cybertronian names might sound:
Megatron: Two revving noises (Me + Ga), only distinguishable by cybertronians, followed by a strong rrrrrrrrrrrr sound.
Arcee: A softer rrr sound, followed by chirping and shirieking overlapping noises, making up a "cee".
Bumblebee: The "bumble" part might be two consequential popping sounds.

Came up with this AU (subplot?) where Megs and Star struggle to care for their earth pets, the “Battle Dog” (really Megs? 😑) and, um…
*Checks TFwiki*
Sure, we’ll call ‘em Meowgatron—
While still tryin’ to survive on/take over Earth ‘n stuff.






Or in other words, if Megs was just a little less of a douchebag, towards the dog that he tried to weaponize and end all of humanity with.👌
*Realizes how that sounds* (゚ ペ)
Listen, this is the same episodic manga that has an entire underground highway system that spans worldwide, an island full of predators and prey that live together in peace, and Rumble and Frenzy disguising themselves as hooded figures to hate on Autobots (seriously guys…wtf?).
Make of that increasing ludicrousness/questionableness AND the tonal whiplash case that is the final chapter as you will.
#y'all if this cat doesn't survive the comic...no#i refuse to consider this too soon to draw (#⩌'︿'⩌#)#cuz the battle dog didn't even survive the manga chapter so#they can hang out together in the afterlife#and that can be drawn as commemoration#oh right and there's megs' holoform too i guess um ( 〃..)#he’s wearin' a chapka but he’s not polish#that’s just what my mom says when i talk too much lol#yeah no he’s japanese in case you're wonderin'#i think the battle dog is at least an akita/alaskan malamute mix#both breeds shed like mfs so good fraggin' luck megs#gotta work to get those animal cruelty charges dropped#maccadam#transformers#megatron#starscream#battle dog#meowgatron#tf g1#transformers g1#transformers generation one#tf skybound#holoforms#humanformers#humanization#transformers fan continuity#my art#maccadams

has it ever been stated anywhere in haikyuu that the reason atsumu and hinata call inunaki "wan-san" is because "wan" is the japanese equivalent of the sound "woof" and "inu" means "dog" in japanese and they came up with that pun to make fun of his name or was i supposed to understand the joke while lying awake in bed at 4 am on a sunday morning years after reading that stupid nickname in the manga?
#AND IT ALWAYS CONFUSED ME BECAUSE I THOUGHT HIS NAME WAS INUNAKI WAN BUT IT SAID INUNAKI SHION EVERYWHERE#HOW TF DIDNT I THINK OF THIS SOONER AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY DIDNT ANYONE EXPLAIN 😭😭😭#haikyuu#hq#haikyu#haikyuu!!#inunaki shion#miya atsumu#hinata shouyou#msby#msby black jackal#reading haikyuu#this is one of those things that i imagine the japanese fans being like 'man this is definitely gonna fly over their heads'

IT'S FINALLY DONE! My new fursona: The Dragon Queen!
Formerly an average human being, she found herself inexplicably trapped in the world of an early-2000s platformer... as its main antagonist! Sure, the new body took a bit of getting used to (to say nothing of the appetite), and sure, she regularly has spats with the resident protagonist (they're friends off the clock. They go go-karting on weekends!). But it's a pretty good life once she got used to it!

as I’m designing and fleshing out this jetbyte fan-kid I’m gaining some lore-details about shark pregnancy and how mommas treat their offspring—
from what I’m getting at, shark mommas lay their pups (eggs or not) somewhere safe and go fuck off, leaving the babies to be independent from birth. pretty straight forward, that’s probably how all shark (or generally animal based) transformers are brought up… by themself—
but, uh, here’s where things get weird.
sky-byte and jetfire are completely different frames— well, not really, they both fly, but that’s about it. they’re an exotic couple, which makes their kid pretty exotic too.
I say this to bring forth the shift in usually instinctive parenting. sky-byte and jetfire don’t want their kid out there by themself in such an undocumented hybrid frame-type. also, I bet there are predacon/maximal hunters who, uh, hunt down animal-based cybertronians for the fuck of it. like take their armor or something. how humans hunt and skin animals.
so here’s the idea: big, bulky sparkling who is evolutionarily built to defend and care for itself from birth getting pampered and loved on by its creators because said creators want to break the cycle to ensure said sparkling’s life.
#i’m going insane#jetbyte#fan kids are strange things and I’m liking how this one is looking#like how sky byte’s japanese name is gelshark#their name is currently gel strike#I dunno if it will stick but I like it#tf jetfire#sky byte#cybertronian culture stuff maybe?#i dunno how to tag this

Some Reflector art cuz I think he’s super cute (def wanna draw more of him). OwO
Despite the fact that he’s a lil’ snitch along with the microcassette recorder.
[Reflector: You’ve just been censored. ⬆️]
Bruh shoo! *Gently waves him away*
This is an unbiased Decepticon news blog, duh.
(Not really lol. I love Autobots too I promise. Shout out to [REDACTED])

Anyways, don’t they make for great intelligence officers? :)
Well along with Nightbird, Shadow, and some others but those are different stories hehe.
Also I thought of this idea that he could have these advanced metal “straps” (which come out of his alt mode like measuring tape), that basically act as his “arms”.
You know, for purposes of *checks script* “improved accessibility”.
Thanks Shockwave.

I mean it’s all fun and games until he [REDACTED] or [REDACTED] someone—cuz those ends are sharp.
Just think Ming-Hua and Lin Beifong from LOK…and potentially Lucy from Elfen Lied.
Emphasis on the “potentially”. O_O📷

Okay, into your new studio apartment (time out box) you go~ 😅📷 🧰
Update: *On the floor* Ow…
Never thought I’d get my ass beat by a camera but here we are lol.
He’s a spicy little guy, but we love him here. :)
