Which silly transformer are you today? :)

(for me it's a pretty consistent mix of 6 and 8)

Just another day on the lost light

[ihatebrainstorm]

Would a silly Riptide cheer you up maybe?

I think Riptide would enjoy RC boats :D ⛵️

Obscure character time! It's Riptide (mtmte).

Canonically the stupidest character, too many of these creatures work. I'm thinking #5 at the moment, but if any other other dumb lookin ones work better don't let me stop you :)

AAH?!? (Original post: PINNED)

Holy fuck guys I have never seen this mech in my life and immediately after seeing him I’m losing it why is he hot. HASGHSbASH I’M SORRY BUT HE IS. This one is great. Also I have so many asks rn I am ON THE GRIND.

Also yes I am aware I saturated him so hard. I do that with most of them tbh. Makes me feel like a little silly guy x3.

My most up-to-date lineup of my human mtmte designs!! I've been at this since like 2022 wow, I have more I want to draw at some point but for now this is what we've got

Another note on the mermechs is that some give live birth, some lay eggs, and others something more along the lines of a mermaid purse.

Rodimus, whose sub species lays eggs, is very confused by his two children, one (Flamewar) is a perfectly normal sized egg and eventual fry and the second (Splendid) is a large pup that is live born and nearly killed him. They actually have two different sires because breeding season was interrupted by the oil spill and when Rodimus healed it started again and he and Thunderclash got frisky.

This is a reason different subspecies of mermechs don't usually interbreed. Poor Rodimus is all kinds of confusion, which is part of why he grabbed onto Drift as support. Because you aren't supposed to have fry needing care at the same time as eggs but Thunderclash's species calls his pups and he has a bunch of confused instincts and no support on top of needing to defend and map out his newly claimed territory.

Running into the himbo shark Riptide (Thresher shark) is a big relief and the first addition to the Lost Light school/pod. Though he is slightly confused by how fussy Rodimus is about Splendid as pups are fairly self-sufficient immediately but he is going with it. Hunting is easier in a group, and Riptide is unexpectedly very social. Plus, he likes Rodimus and Drift and teaching Splendid to test things out by biting. Drift does not appreciate this addition to Splendid's behavior as he is usually the one covered in bitemarks since she enjoys nibbling though her teeth aren't exactly razors like Riptide thankfully.

I'm leaning towards Thunderclash being a type of cetacea, which means Splendid's creation is extra unusual, and Ratchet eventually does have to help because Thunderclash's species feed their young filtered Energon live food at first. Rodimus eventually starts panicking about it because fish mush isn't working entirely. Drift drags the baby to Ratchet's facility, and they start caring for her. Eventually, Rodimus comes into the tidal pool to be nearby, and Thunderclash is watching everything go down, and once things calm down, he ends up pulling himself out of his tank to come croon at Splendid since Rodimus can't stay with her while Flamewar needs guarding as she is unhatched. Thunderclash is the one who explains things to Ratchet, who insists Rodimus gets a full checkup once things calm down and find he is incredibly stressed and needing some medical attention that he'd hid last time.

Now they are both doing better with Splendid being bottle fed until she's big enough, which fascinates Riptide, who especially like starring at First Aid who becomes involved.

It also confirms that Thunderclash is to blame. Which only makes things stranger when Flamewar hatches, and now Drift has two baby mers to watch.

HgGhh yes, oh poor Roddie, this makes sense of why intersubspecies breeding is probably rare, at some level there's a degree of danger

Rodimus is going through it but he has mecha and mers here for him

Thresher Riptide!

Drift:

Drift: rIPTIDE I STG

I'm also getting cetacean vibes from Thunders, maybe his mer form is based on a medium to medium large species of toothed whale

Drift and Ratchet yet again being the responsible ones

Ooo, Aid?

Poor Drift getting sucked into this mess shdhdhdh

Came across this a few days ago. A classic reminder to never push strange buttons. This is just good advice in both fiction & real life.

Somewhat related: this panel in Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye.

riptide and starscream friendship in the tumblr multiverse

honestly starscream needs some genuine joy and happiness in his life and if that comes in the form of one (1) himbo shark boy (boat), then so be it.

riptide helps temper the absolute mess that is starscream's emotional state at every given moment, and starscream helps riptide be a little meaner every once in a while. as a treat. there is no way in hell this friendship will crumble due to conflicting personality or personal beliefs. no chance at all (lying)

riptide come get ur rat

[fictional-love-is-my-life]

I want to kiss Riptide and make him smile and giggle. I want to hug him and trace over his helm. I want to play in the water with him and let him have fun. I want to call him a cutie patootie and see his reaction. I want to squish him in my arms and love on him and dote on him with so much love and appreciation that he doesn't know what to do with it all.

I think there was some line-tool abuse for the first two- which were produced later, mind you. The sketchiness lends itself to the latter, but I've been hard-wired to produce straight lines, so that ain't happening ever agin..

I realized I never posted ALL the colouring book illustrations, and since I no longer have any stock, I figured I'd share.

A collection of little Pokémon teams for Lost Lighters, drawn in 2021! There's a bunch of details I forgot about, but I still consider Ultra Magnus + 10% Forme Zygarde to be the biggest brained choice lol
