wada sez: Scattershot’s original Bob Budiansky bio says: “This brawling, bragging berserker's idea of strategy is to wade into a Decepticon patrol with all barrels blazing and not withdraw until he's out of ammo or out of enemies, whichever comes first. And he expects his followers to do the same.” Ratchet dryly remarking that Scattershot’s words to his followers are hypocritical is funny to me, considering the very first sentence of that bio is: “Scattershot leads by his actions, not his words.” In the first narration box, a little header reads “TK5: C-86″. C-86 is his Takara ID number, with TK5 being the number of the Technobots as a unit. Clean inks and colors below, along with a preview of tomorrow’s strip.

Happy Birthday to Technobots！！！18 years old！！！！！(G1S3 has a fixed year 2006, and it's 2024 now)

No one talks enough about the fact that Grimlock is a single dad.

His kids even throw him a Father's Day celebration.

The sign in the back even says "thank you, our father" with cute little drawings of their heads. They live their daddy!

[they-hermes]

short technobot characterisations go:

scattershot is if springer was raised by prowl, a jock soldier with no social etiquette bc hes a nerd who studies mathematics and statistics all day. hes the only frat boy to ever leave a party to go study.

strafe is very sweet but because he is in a war they gave him a gun instead of anxiety meds, and seeing the damage he could do with one gun they gave him another. hes also a biologist and embodies that one guy on tiktok who keeps picking up animals barefoot in the florida everglades

nosecone finds all fiction literature very boring and prefers to read long winded academic essays all day. this is what gives him the patience to deal with his team everyday, hes used to heated arguments between people who can never admit they're wrong

lightspeed is one of the only scientists who appreciate social sciences, including astrology, and highlights his research with an intricate color coding system your average pinterest girly would only dream of having. hes a rousseau trapped in the body of a pythagoras

afterburner doesn't believe in deadlines and submits academic papers whenever he wants, nor does he believe in searching praise from professors and will fight them instead. this is why hes banished to archivist work to spend his days only ever organising data in giant empty halls where he cant fight people but jokes on them because the war let him back into society

The Rodimus Corner - Nosecone makes enemy fortifications look like walls of Swiss cheese by the time he's finished with them. He’s slow and methodical, and weathers artillery fire with the same calm he endures when criticized of his apparant laziness.

Me and My funny Random Ship lolol.

Idk how this ship came to my head but I think it's funny so that's my defense

That one Depressed suicidal racer with that one Perfectionist who's maybe a little too slow and overthink too much.

I Imagine one of their dynamic is just them having an Intelligent conversation at first but then it Ended up with NoseCone forgetting what he was about to say because of Dead End being Dead End start talking about something super depressing or Dark and NoseCone just sat there and be like 'this is some serious shit, Do you need help?'

(Edited: but then NoseCone start Explaining about the meaning of a certain Depressing and Dark topic in full detail, Dead End just sat there listening lol)

And Dead End with Cat ears lol

Transformers Warfare: Wreckers

The next generation of the elite Autobot strike team known as the Wreckers, the new Xantium crew is, as expected for the Wreckers at this point, a group of ragtag misfits with issues up the wazoo and mildly dark pasts. It'll take a miracle to shape them up into the legends the older, now deceased Wrecker groups have come to be known as. Unfortunately for them, Ultra Magnus is not a miracle worker.

Ultra Magnus

Formerly the leader of the Elite Guard, Ultra Magnus was personally chosen by Optimus Prime to recruit and lead a new team of Wreckers after the last was killed in a suicide attack against the Decepticon Heavy Brigade. Though he'd much prefer to go back to his old team - or even to his old ways as just a soldier who would follow orders and now give them - he knows that if anybody on this ship could handle the responsibility of leading such a team, it would be him.

Ultra Magnus transforms into a a Cybertronian car carrier truck. He is armed with a Path Blaster, twin shoulder mounted missile launchers, and a specially created, electricity wielding hammer known as The Magnus Hammer.

Springer

If Ultra Magnus had to - or rather, was able to - chose a successor as leader of the Wreckers, it would be Springer. A great warrior, brave to a fault, and always ready to lighten up a tense moment, this Triple Changer is only held back by one thing: his self confidence will falter if he's actually put into a position of responsibility for the safety of others. Nevertheless, he still has what it takes for leadership. Ultra Magnus just hopes he realizes this before he's forced to be taught as such.

Springer is a Triple Changer and can transform into both a Cybertronian armored car and a Cybertronian helicopter. He is armed with a laser rifle and a sword.

Rotorstorm

Springer's self confidence is tempered by his snarky personality and sense of duty. Rotorstorm's... isn't. He brags constantly about his feats of strength and bravery, about how respected he is among even the Decepticons, and about how he's everyone's favorite Autobot, even Optimus Prime's. And the worst damn part about it is that it's all true. Well, except that part about being everyone's favorite. Anyways, as told by his own legendary autobiographic stories, he is a true threat for the Decepticons, and everyone would know it even if he didn't constantly spout about it. In fact, his attitude is sometimes almost like Rotorstorm himself feels threatened by Rotorstorm.

Rotorstorm transforms into a Cybertronian attack helicopter. He is armed with twin double barreled cannons.

Bulkhead

Don't let his large size and clumsiness fool you: Bulkhead is a bot full of love. Formerly a Constructicon, his hatred for bullies and thugs prompted him to join the Autobots, unlike most of his other Constructicon brethren. Although his knowledge of construction - particularly Space Bridge technology - might have been wasted on the war effort, his large size, ability to take damage and dish out damage, and his loyalty to his friends made him a perfect frontline soldier, which is what lead to his recruitment into the Wreckers. Even if his clumsiness is a bit of a problem at times.

Bulkhead used to transform into a Cybertronian excovator, but he has switched to a Cybertronian all terrain truck. He can transform his arms into large, mace like melee weapons.

Moonracer

Moonracer is, for several reasons, one of the last bots you'd see in a team like the Wreckers. Not only is her position as a sniper quite unusual for an "in your face" group such as them, but her bubbly, cheerful demeanor is so contrasting to everyone else's more serious attitudes. But her spot on the team is more then justified. She's singlehandedly cleared out entire groups of Decepticons, with nobody the wiser to her presence until it was too late, and even when put in a compromising position, she's speedy and feisty enough to escape with nary a scratch, most of the time. It was for these reasons that Ultra Magnus personally asked Elita One for an official transfer from her team, the Shield of Solus, to the Wreckers, where she met Powerglide and began showing a more... romantic side of herself.

Moonracer transforms into a Velocitronian car. She is armed with a Nucleon Charge Rifle, affectionately dubbed "Powerglide II".

Powerglide

Most flyers have used aerial acrobatics as a form of outmaneuvering an opponent, but Powerglide has turned it into a religion. Not literally, of course, though there are somedays some might think otherwise. Powerglide loves an audience, be they friend or foe, and he loves to show off his skills, especially if they one-up a fellow flyer. Which unfortunately for him is a rare feat. His skill with dogfighting, good enough to beat even Dogfight, was a necessity that he turned into a game, thanks to the heavier firepower and even more skillful flying of the many, many Decepticons who have flying alt modes. Despite this, he hasn't accepted any requests to upgrade his armory. He'd rather his own skill speak for itself, even if it gets him killed.

Powerglide transforms into a Cybertronian jet resembling an Earth A-10 Thunderbolt. He is unarmed in robot mode, instead relying on a small, but surprisingly powerful gatling gun on the nosecone of his vehicle mode.

Hot Shot

Every team seems to have a young and ambitious warrior who could grow to be a great leader if given a little time to mature and a nudge in the right direction. For the Wreckers, Hot Shot is that warrior. He's naïve and a bit annoying to deal with, but he's one of the most loyal and brave Autobots out there, willing to risk his life against anybody wearing a Decepticon badge. Except for the Decepticon known as Downshift. The two, alongside Joyride, have a history that didn't originally start out as hostile as it is now, and Hot Shot wishes he'd just listen to reason and talk things out with them. Unfortunately, Downshift isn't willing to do so, a fact that breaks Hot Shot's spark, especially with the knowledge that one day, he'll have to confront his former friend.

Hot Shot transforms into a Cybertronian sports car. He is armed with a gun formed from his engine block and a large "Axelzooka" mounted on his back.

Joyride

At first glance, Joyride's attitude may make her seem like an ill fit for the Autobots. Energon thirsty and a reckless driver, she cares not for pesky, trivial matters like innocent bystanders or consequences for her actions. All she wants to do is sate her unquenchable thirst for violence. She wasn't always like this, however. Once, she was a sweet and caring Conjunx to the Omnibot Downshift. His death left heavy scars on Joyride, shaping her into who she is now. Who knows how she'll react when she realizes he's still alive, now on the side of the Decepticons.

Joyride transforms into a Cybertronian motorcycle. She is armed with a double barreled rifle.

Tincture

Although her red and white color scheme may make her resemble a standard Autobot medic, Tincture is anything but. A loyal friend and terrible enemy to have, Tincture has been on too many adventures to count, and she loves to tell stories of her exploits through the cosmos. Of course, these tales are often hampered by her tendency to get sidetracked and her habit of chugging Engex like there's no tomorrow, a habit that's made even worse when you realize her choice of weapon. At the end of the day though, Tincture is one reliable Autobot who Ultra Magnus is glad to have recruited... when he doesn't have to wake her up after one of her nights spent binge drinking.

Tincture transforms into a Cybertronian speed boat. She is armed with a missle launcher.

Broadside

Broadside doesn't have the best of luck. She's a Triple Changer with one flight capable alt mode and one sea faring alt mode. The problem arises when you realize that Broadside is both acrophobic and prone to sea sickness, and once you find these facts out, you get the sense why she feels like Primus was laughing silently on the day of her creation. Fortunately, battling Decepticons gives her an outlet to vent her frustration. And no team fights more Decepticons then the Wreckers.

Broadside is a Triple Changer and can transform into both a Cybertronian jet and Cybertronian aircraft carrier. She is armed with a plasma pulse gun and a vibro-axe.

Nosecone

Formerly a member of the Technobots, Nosecone wound up as one of two confirmed survivors of an assault on the group, and one who was quite lucky, considering the fact that the second survivor had to have his spark transfered into a new body. Nosecone's wounds ran deep, both in the physical and mental sense, and it took a while for him to recover. When he did so, it was with a newfound fury against the Decepticons, one which drove him to join the Wreckers. In spite of this, Nosecone has found his perfectionism has continued to rear its ugly head still, and he's still a bit slow go act. Hopefully, he'll grow out of it.

Nosecone transforms into a Cybertronian drill tank. He is armed with an X-ray laser pistol.

Toxitron

Frankly speaking, Toxitron is weird. A failed clone of Autobot leader Optimus Prime, Toxitron is a corrosive acid spewing, backwards talking idiot of a bot, and it was pure luck that he wound up joining with the Wreckers when they found him. His sense of right and wrong is dubious, at best, but he's got a good spark and a willingness to prove his worth, often with the battlecries "Toxitron Number 1!" or "Booray Toxitron!"

Toxitron transforms into a Cybertronian semi truck. He is armed with a Corrosive Slime Cannon and an axe made of the substance "Tox-En".

The Jaguar inflatable donkey saga.

During Jaguar Racing's final F1 season in 2004, one of the team's mechanics took an inflatable of Donkey from Shrek they won as part of a contest held by Ribena to F1 events. From the Belgian Grand Prix to the season finale at the Brazilian Grand Prix, the inflatable was present in the F1 paddock, with A. LOT. of photos.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jaguar Racing competed in Formula One from 2000 to 2004. After underachieving in the sport, Ford lowered the team's budget for its last season, before the team was sold and became Red Bull Racing from 2005 onwards. In an attempt to gain positive PR, Jaguar would engage in a variety of stunts throughout the season, including promoting the film Ocean's Twelve at the Monaco Grand Prix by inserting two $300,000 diamonds on the nosecones of each car, driven by Mark Webber and Christian Klien. After Klien crashed out on the opening lap, the diamond on his car went missing and was never recovered.

Later that season, a team member entered a competition held by Ribena, which was giving away thousands of prizes related to the upcoming animated film Shrek 2. They won an inflatable of the character Donkey. In an attempt to boost morale and distract themselves from the very possibility they would be made redundant following the season's conclusion, a mechanic took or according to Tim Malyon, stole the inflatable, with it travelling from the team's headquarters in Milton Keynes to Spa-Francorchamps.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Initially, the inflatable was to have been exclusively present at the Belgian Grand Prix for a single photoshoot. However, it became a symbol of resistance for the team, who were progressively discouraged with the running of the team, which reached a boiling point when Ford announced on 17th September that it would put Jaguar up for sale, potentially risking over 300 jobs. While Jaguar's PR team banned the inflatable from appearing at any subsequent races for fear it would damage the team's reputation, Donkey would travel to the remaining races for more photoshoots. This included photos of it being within the cockpits of each constructor's car, as well as light-hearted and occasionally risqué interactions with other team members.

scrap yeah skydive plushie!!!

Reblog chain of wip pictures and comments here

He's finally real! My favourite transformers character of all time!! The blorbo!!!!

Skydive is made using a slightly modified version of @milk-sharks' Seeker plush pattern, two kinds of fleece, and satin. He's stuffed with batting offcuts from quilting, kindly given to me by a friend who also printed the pattern out for me (since the printers in my house can't print. . . yay. . .). Delightfully squishy, though I think he could've been stuffed with more.

Modifications and additions to original pattern:

Didn't do stripes

Only made one upright tailfin, since Skydive is an F-16 in comparison to the Seekers' F-15

Did hearts instead of stars for the faction badge

Gave him lightning bolts for his wings and upright tailfin

Fabric colours and types:

Yellow, gray, and blue: regular fleece

Black: arctic/polar fleece (would have gotten regular fleece, but the Fabricland didn't have it in stock at the time)

Red: satin

Things I'll do (and I reccomend you do if it's within your ability!) if I make another him:

Give him a nosecone in black

Reorientate his tailfin bolts. Small quibble, but I only realized they should be a different direction when the tailfin was sewed into the body lol

Make a new pattern just for his wings, so he can have wings closer to the actual shape of the F-16

Give him those little tube things(?) at the end of the F-16 wings to go with the changed wings

Give him more stuffing!! both in the body and the wings/fins

[valkresdarkside]

JP fanartists r the best when it comes to fangirling mode fr, there's this one jp artist that drew blade and filled it with notes like:

*arrows around his nosecone* "so cute"

"his entrance is so cool, like, there's this smoke and a hot heli-san comes out"

"body is made of cute outline yet so handsome"

*draws Blade smiling when Dusty woke up* "DESTROYER(?) SMILE!! And the 'good morning'! What will you do if Dusty faints again??"

More "so cute" arrows around his body

*circles the wing-like stuff (I forgot the term)* "cute"

You know I gotta know…. how do the ‘birds react to snow/christmas?

Answering this made me giddy x'D You're welcome, anon c:

Thunderbird One finds the snow magical... when she's able to enjoy it. In her robot-mode, her wings are more sensitive to her environment, and unfortunately take on the cold more quickly. Her favourite things are a soft snowfall, and identifying the different tracks and trails in the snow on the ground. As for Christmas, she loves the idea of it, particularly the being with family, and cosying up somewhere warm parts.

Thunderbird Two, is indifferent about snow. At first it had her curious (and keeps to herself the fact she was absolutely delighted when she found out she could draw shapes in it-), but she doesn't give it a second thought much these days. After rescuing the scientists from the glacial ice shelf though, she's become a little weary of ice specifically... Christmas still confuses her. She's not entirely sure what it's purpose is yet.

Thunderbird Four adores the snow. It's her childish wonder of course >w< Gordon has made a list of all the snow-related activities, and of course Four wants to try all of them (even if she is too big for some-!). Her favourite thing so far is making snowmen! She knows to be careful in making them, in case she squishes them. One day she'll make one as big as she is. Also, she might be a little disappointed it never snows on Tracy Island... Her reaction is the same for Christmas; she wants to try all the festive traditions! xD She really wants to try gingerbread... Humans make it look so tasty...

Thunderbird Three seems to know when it snows, or when temperature's drop to freezing. It could be him being space-built, and space air being seemingly colder than Earth's atmosphere.. but Alan finds it impressive that he knows. Three can't transform of course, so he's obviously reacted quite differently to snow than the other three Thunderbirds. Only thing is, after their adventure to Europa, he never wants to go drilling into ice ever again (he swears his nosecone is still frozen to this day...). ... Gordon tried to drag a Christmas tree into his cockpit once. Alan immediately told him off for it, and his older brother was banned from any pranks involving his brothers' Thunderbirds. Three could still feel pine needles in his circuits for two weeks-...
