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!

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

wada sez: Teanby made a comment on deviantART explaining this one’s place in continuity: “This could be set in the Marvel continuity or present day. I figured Bombshell has always just been out for himself.” See below for the original sketch.

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

Motormaster with Lichtenberg figure-like ridges on his face and neck. His self-repair systems smooth them out over the course of a few hours.

He just smirks if someone comments.

Isuzu Gemini Wizard, 1991. Presented at the 29th Tokyo Motor Show, a speedster version of the 3rd generation Gemini Coupé. This was the last Gemini generation that was made by Isuzu. The open roof Gemini also had nosecone styling that differed from the series production coupé. Neither the nose nor the open roof made it into Isuzu's showrooms. This generation Gemini was sold in the US as the Geo Storm

Watched an old movie (no idea of the name - it was one of many we watched) this Christmas where a bunch of fresh faced WWII soldier boys put up pinups in their bunks, but they couldn't put ACTUAL pinups of sexy ladies in this old ass movie, so it was like, half Uncle Sam propaganda and half middle aged "leaders of industry" men on the posters.

And now I can't get out of my head the idea of Danny as a young soldier, putting up pinups of Vlad - both sexy poses AND "Make Vlad Masters proud of you, Soldier" type propaganda.

Get this man on the nosecone of a B-17 now

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.

tell me about grosjean

grosjean's crash is something that occupies my mind constantly. it's almost entirely because of engineering that grosjean is still capable of walking around, talking about his crash. after clipping kvyat's car at just over 150 miles per hour, he collided head-on with the track barrier on a fast straight. at 53G grosjean could've suffered fatal whiplash if not for his HANS- his halo also prevented injury, deflecting a large sheet of metal which otherwise could've decapitated/seriously injured him. most vital of all was likely the carbon fibre safety cell the drivers sit in- a luxury ronnie peterson did not have during his crash, evidenced by his broken legs, which became the primary shock absorber after the destruction of his car's nosecone (the safety cell was invented in 1981). technology purpose-built for incidents like this saved romain grosjean's life (ironic, as he was one of the drivers who lobbied against the introduction of the halo!). it's an interesting crash to discuss, and all the better because grosjean is still alive to discuss it too.

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
