What's left to say? These prayers ain't working anymore ~ I hear you call my name And it feels like home Why YES, of course, I also went to see Deadpool & Wolverine. I meant to draw Deadpool and Wolverine things, but I was also stuck in Transformers land and my brain decided to make this instead.

Starscream FINALLY became Cybertron leader, but barely a day passed when he found out his timeline is dying because his universe's Optimus Prime is very GONE. No problem, just find another one and everything is fixed right? Congrats Starscream, you found the saddest one of them all 8D

The quote was inspired by this video I found regarding the Matter and Antimatter: youtube.com/watch?v=vXd3UY_F8OI

And this fantastic mashup of I've been listening to nonstop while working on this piece, "Ashes & like a Prayer - Ultimate Mashup (Edited Version)" by Penguin Performances: youtube.com/watch?v=GmDwgw2erDs

Happy Valentine’s Day

Hello Starscream, it’s 🪣

Don’t mind Monsoon, he’s just sulking. He’s one of those people who can’t handle being teased.

Yes he was on his back, and while he didn’t get shat on by birds a couple pigeons attempted to make a nest on him (because pigeons are idiots. Lovable idiots, but idiots nonetheless)

Hi, 🪣! Nice hearing from you.

Monster needs to get a thicker skin! A tougher armour. He needs to dry up!

How...? How long was he there?

Pigeons are dense fraggers!

YOU FLING LASERBEAK? YOU FLING LASERBEAK INTO A TREE, FATHER? SHAME! SHAME FOR 1000 YEARS!

...AND SOUNDWAVE WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS

[singeamon-arts]

When can I get this on Spotify?

could you perhaps. have your shockwave model do a cover of 'the music of the night' from the phantom of the opera movie.

idk what the process of doing AI covers is like, but if it is a difficult and/or lengthy process, we can compensate you with art (i would offer money, but I dont agree with the idea of someone recieving financial profit for AI content of this nature.)

let me know if this is something you'd be interested in!

Who knew that mister “smoke-pack-a-day” could sing?

Don’t laugh at him though, he surely tries his best

As well as me (cough)

This thing took me several days and I was actually planning to give up. His usual model was not capable of handling long nor high notes (he sounded like he was dying), so I had to make ONE MORE model of him but this time try and generate a singing voice that could possibly fit him. Even now I’m still not exactly proud of the results but there’s nothing else I can do, so I hope you’ll like it this way hjdjdh. And yes, I just had to spend additional time on the drawing, I’m a perfectionist

[tokay-blog]

Sg Breakdown, unlike its original version, is a very aggressive personality, which the decepticons prefer not to meet unnecessarily. However, he was a medic who helped in the rescue of the vehicons, albeit a little. And despite his grumblings, he did provide medical assistance, as much as was possible in their position and amount of resources.

And in this he was completely different from Knockout, who on the contrary didn't know how to fix bots (and in this case permanent operations were needed), but boasted that he was better at it. Breakdown was insulted by this, and quite often chased Knockout out of the medical bay like an annoying dog. After his death, Knockout was happy about it and immediately took the lab for himself... and cons were actually deprived of medical care.

With Airachnid, I think it's not hard to guess that such a delicate violet would reach for a scary boogeyman :D

A small explanation to this sketch. Laserbeak's main task, as in the original, is scouting. But, being a therapy pigeon, he also provided psychological support (mostly to the vehicons). Medical operations also relates to this, which Breakdown wasn't too happy about.

But Laserbeak has a knack for determining which bots he's allowed to approach and which ones he's not (He never comes close to Knockout, Megatron, or autobots in that regard). The bird often flies separately from its owner and is able to perform some tasks on its own. But this also means increased caution. _________________________ You can try to guess what made Breakdown lose his eye, by the way (¬‿¬ ) Given that the events of the sg only took place on Cybertron.

Nightlight meets the Batfamily

SFW, Platonic, Cybertronain reader

TFA

Nightlight didn’t know why she got transported to this smelly dinging alley.

All she remembered was helping Professor Sumdac carry some heavy material’s then feeling fuzzy and landing in the ally.

Worse, several important wires responsible for transformation had come out of their sockets.

Nothing could get wo—

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

Nightlight looks at her window and sees a small figure leaning on her frame. They were bleeding. She opens the door, and the figure falls into her front seat. It was a boy in a costume.

Nightlight: “Hey kid! Are you okay?”

The boy slowly lifts his head groaning.

Nightlight: “Kid is there a hospital or place we can go to get help?”

The boy groaned more, his eyes closing. Nightlight wraps her seatbelt around the boy. He yelped as the belt went over his wound and tightened.

Nightlight: “Sorry, can’t have you bleeding out. Now, is there a place we can go and get you help?” The boy hazily nods: “…putting in coordinates… wanna sleep bats…”

Nightlight puts the coordinates in and speeds off.

Nightlight: “Hang tight kiddo. Help is on the way.”

Nightlight’s spark was in overdrive when the boy suddenly slumped in her seat.

She was surprised when a secret entrance opened into a large cave.

She honked her horn several times getting the attention of an older human and another human in a wheelchair.

Carefully opening the door and letting the boy get carried off by the older man.

The woman rolled over to her.

Barbara: “Bruce? Bruce where—” Nightlight: “Who’s Bruce?”

The human woman in wheelchair made a startled noise.

Barbara: “Who said that?” Nightlight: “I did.” Barbara: “You’re the car? But how the batmobile—wait how—”

Nightlight pops her hood.

Nightlight: “If you can connect those wires, I’ll explain everything.”

The woman hesitates but eventually plugs in the wires. Nightlight transforms and stretches a bit. She looks down at the woman and kneels offering her digit.

Nightlight: “Thank you Ms…” Barbara: “…Oracle.”

Nightlight tilts her helm a bit.

Nightlight: “Oracle? Not a traditional human name I’ve heard. Or is it a code name?” Barbara: “Code name. Now, explain.”

Nightlight explained her situation to ‘Oracle’.

The older human, Alfred, soon came towards the pair telling them that ‘Red Robin’ was now stable.

The bot vented in relief and introduced herself to the older human.

She eventually sat down by the med bay while happily chatting with the older man when ‘Red Robin’ had woken up.

Tim groans as his eyes adjust to the light. Alfred goes to Tim side gently patting his head.

Alfred: “Good sleep, Master Tim?”

Tim groans as he adjusts himself to sit up in the bed.

Tim: “I guess. But I was having the strangest dream about the batmobile talk—”

Tim looks over at the giant robot in the cave waving at him.

Tim: “…I think I’m still dreaming. The batmobile is a mech.” Nightlight: “I’m no mech kid. The names Nightlight.” Tim: “…” Nightlight: “Yeah, don’t worry we’ll explain everything, right Barbara?” Tim: “It knows your names?!”

It takes a bit to explain to Tim what happened, but he does eventually understand and does say thank you for the rescue.

Nightlight simply pats his head.

Now… to tell the others about their temporary companion.

Tim was half tempted to bring Nightlight with him to his team’s hide out until she could go back home.

But it was ultimately decided that The Batman should be let on this.

The batmobile and two motorcycles pulled into the cave. The vigilantes get out.

Jason: “And that’s why you don’t film pigeons while you’re on patrol.” Damian: “Todd I swear--.” Bruce: “Enough both of you.” Bruce: “Did anyone check in with Red Robin.” Dick: “I thought he was with you. He was calling for the batmobile… are you guys seeing this?”

Tim, with bandages, was in the palm of a giant robot that looked oddly similar to the batmobile.

Nightlight: “Then I somersaulted Starscream and shoved the bomb right up his—Oh! We have visitors.”

Nightlight was picking out tiny ‘batarangs’ while Tim, Barbara and Alfred explained the situation.

Jason wants proof of the transformation.

Nightlight does then goes back to her root mode.

Jason: “So, she’s kinda like the female robot alien version of you B.” Nightlight: “I am not—” Bruce: “She is not—" Dick: “What did you say your job was again?” Nightlight: “I’m a detective. I solve mysteries, put the bad guys in cuffs—”

Jason gives Bruce a smug look.

Damian: “Did your parents die when you were young.” Dick, Tim: “Damain!” Nightlight: “Umm, no? I don’t have any parents. That concept is more of the traditional Earth thing. I have had mentors though.” Dick: “… How about a complicated love life?” Bruce glares at all his children: “Okay now how about we stop—” Nightlight: “I have a Conjunx if that’s what you’re asking.” Batfamily: “Conjunx?” Nightlight: “I believe its translated as ‘Spouse’, on Earth.” Jason: “… how come the robot version of you has her life together and you don’t.” Bruce: “Jason--” Tim: “Last one! Do you have a tendency of adopting orphans or kids in general?” Nightlight laughs a bit before thinking back at most of the members on Team Prime: “… I have become a figure to some extent.” Nightlight looks over at Tim before plucking him up and placing him on her shoulder: “Anymore questions?” All Bat kids looking up: “…” Nightlight: “If you want up—” Batkids: “Please!”

Bruce broods in silence as his kids are carried up the bots shoulders and helm.

. https://www.tumblr.com/mychlapci/761584986446020608/ok-someone-send-me-requests-to-write-i-will?source=share hi can. can i get…. starscream wetting himself.. (whether its old man incontinence, him purposely doing it for fetish purposes, his partner making him do it, mechs bullying him into nervous wetting, etc etc i dont mind… i just really really want fancy, pretty boy Starscream with his waste pouring down his legs like he's some untrained sparkling,,)

here. it's actually kind of funny when you think about it.

Starscream never had these issues on the Nemesis, not in millions of years of commanding his army, it must be this diluted energon he has to drink to save up his fuel that causes him to limp quickly out of any scene of the crime. All that unnecessary fluid added in only flies through him, filling his waste tank to the brim while he’s still in the middle of something.

He was never the sneakiest of bots, but to leave a trail of waste fluid behind himself as he flees the autobots’ or the decepticons’ ire is truly a low point. He could almost feel it sloshing around inside of him, every step was agony as his abdomen folded on itself and pressure slammed into his waste tank.

„Why does it all have to happen to me!” Starscream whined as his legs buckled, saving the growl in the back of his throat for later. Now he had to get as far away from the gunfire as possible. He already had a shard of energon in his hands, and whatever they were shooting at each other over was not worth the humiliation of wetting himself in front of prying optics. He could always come back after he’d relieved himself.

As he made his way down further into the cave system, wings flickering nervously, Starscream released that growl. He clutched the shard of energon with both hands while he squeezed his thighs close. He started to eye an empty, blissfully unoccupied corner of the cave where he could possibly kneel and relieve himself, when he suddenly registered the sound of blasters powering up.

Starscream flipped around to see four vehicons pointing their weapons at him. He shrieked „You! You, how dare you point your blasters at me!”

He felt his body seize up in shock, and a pressure pulsed uncomfortably hard against his waste port, a little trickle dribbled down into his panels „I don’t have the time for this!”

The soldiers briefly exchanged a look, shrugging at each other, but they didn’t lower their guns. Two of them stepped closer, and as Starscream clenched to try and keep it together, tried to keep it inside, his frame decided it’s had enough, and responded to the sight of a powering weapon by releasing the seal of his waste tank at once „Wait– Wait!"

Waste fluid splattered down between his legs, and Starscream gasped, irritated wings suddenly flopping down to point to the ground. It actually stopped the soldiers in their tracks, and they watched seemingly emotionlessly as a hot puddle formed underneath Starscream’s pedes, until of course, one of them laughed, and then the others followed, visors blinking the entire time.

Starscream’s whole frame felt hot with rage and slack with relief, he didn’t know which one to pay attention to first. His valve was soaked behind his panel, the seams of his modesty cover swollen and outdented as the loud stream of piss continued to push through.

They continued to laugh. They were laughing at him! For wetting himself in fear like an unruly sparkling, their own commander. Starscream must have looked ridiculous, pigeon toed and panting by the time his waste tank had emptied completely, standing in a steamy puddle of his own filth.

Thankfully, they were suddenly distracted by a message incoming through the commlink, and Starscream fled with his thighs still wet, miraculously dodging their poorly aimed blaster fire. At least running is easier now.

[gl1tt3r-gutz-and-r0b0tz-sl]

I want to eat your starscream redesign.Hes precious omllll

aww thank you :3

In my AU as well, the seekers can purr like cats and coo like doves and pigeons lol.

their optics also dilate when they see shiny shit or something they like.

[brandwhorestarscream]

I had a bizarre dream in which Seekers were basically treated as vicious, feral pigeons despite being fully sapient. They basically got shooed away with a broom if they became too bothersome.

And Megatron was just some guy in this who had managed to get the highest apartment in a building which meant it was the cheapest for Reasons™. It's all he could afford as a struggling poet.

And by living there he had somehow managed to seduce Starscream who'd just sit outside his window until he let him in??

What a romance.

This is so funny its 4 a.m. and that's the funniest shit to me. Seekers as deranged pigeons that just perch wherever they please? Amazing

[tripleglitchwriting]

AAAAA im so happy you liked the concept of Avains !!😻 I often just imagine it as humans but with wings or your alternative self in another universe <3❤️ i wanted to request someone that would be willing to wrtite for this but i couldn't find anyone so im super glad you liked it !!😭❤️

I also have some small headcanons for this one :DD

1. I bet Rung would be collecting various feathers beside his arks and ships :D❤️

2. Ravage would have so much fun messing around with poor birdies bc he's a cat and i just think Ravage would enjoy bullying them :D

3. I think many bots would politely pick (kidnap) Avians to match their plating colors and just overall would keep them perched (tottaly not willingly) on their shoulder for display

4. Decepticons, mostly seekers, would use brightly colored ones for training like in harry potter where he had to catch the golden snitch. I think seekers would use them for this

5. The djd members would kidnap them for work, since they can fly and since they are able to keep a low profile to be a spy or a messenger bird

6. Ratchet would totally like to have a Woodpecker or Great Gray Owl by his side

Oh and don't even get me started on the various scenes you could come up with😭❤️

( hope im not annoying you too much with this i just love birbs 😭❤️❤️ )

You’re not annoying me, I also love birbs!

1. Rung would ABSOLUTELY collect feathers.

2. Ravage bulling the avians reminds me of Scar in his introductory scene of the lion king with that rat.

3. Rodimus would see a red macaw and go oh I want THAT one.

4. That’s terrifying I love it.

5. Now that would be fun to write. I’d like to see the spy get rescued but not trust the rescuers. Or, when they do trust the rescuers, have them be a double agent and get back at the djd. (How successful that goes is up for debate)

6. You know I think rung would have an army of ravens or crows. He doesn’t know why they keep following him but he tries to be nice.

I can imagine Starscream having a peregrine falcon avian and he would not shut up about them being the fastest. Or he would get a pigeon because it’s funny. Or a goose because they’re assholes.

I can also imagine autobots teaming up or forming an alliance with the avians after they realize they’re sentient, and rather than forcibly having them by their side it’s a mutual partnership. The decepticons still do it forcibly, it would be interesting to see the relationship between an escaped avian learning to trust an autobot.

[dimorphodon-x]

You have to make Starscream one of those ring neck doves with fluffy legs and stuff. Ring neck Doves are a domesticated species /nf /nf /nf

I’ve already chosen the voorburg pouter pigeon for Screamer

[f-15-h]

[ask-a-bot]

MS- Motorcycle and Drone… zey are good choices! Very good. Mine is a Jet like mozt Seekers, but Downpour still has her Cybertronian alt mode.

DP- it’s the curse of being tall, I still can’t find a jet that’s big enough…

MS- I’m glad jou like my accent little one! It iz not a Cybertronian one though, it iz a German one. Vhen i first arrived one Earth, I downloaded ze German Language Pack instead of ze English one. Ze accent stuck. I don’t mind, I quite like ze accent, although…

DP- ya wish you didn’t sound like Blitzwing?

MS- bah, he irritates me.

DP- lots of people irritate you. Uh, I don’t mind nicknames, and I got nice legs so I take that one as a compliment. Monsoon doesn’t like his much though, heh. We’ve definitely gotten a few strange looks from humans when 🪣 tells them we’re their siblings, but in fairness we are well… huge.

MS- do ze Pigeons that tried to nezt on me count az pets?

DP- …I don’t think so?

🪣- no they don’t Sooney. Your Dugout sounds like it’s nice and cozy. The underground bunker is a bit creepy so far, but we only just started cleaning it. The fact I’m finding G.H.O.S.T vans down here is… probably not a good sign though…

Ugh, GHOST! Starscream says they hurt him just because they could and he and all the other bots were all treated like animals.

Star probably deserved it though.

They didn't do it because he's a war criminal. They did bad stuff to Grimlock, too. The only reason they didn't hurt Optimus or Megatron is because people like Mom and Jon would've done something.

Megs probably would've deserved it too. I mean, he started the war in the first place and now we're expected to fix everything.

Sometimes, I can't believe you're my brother.

Twitch decided she doesn't want to talk anymore. So... who's Blitzwing? Yeah, your German accent is pretty cool. Star would probably say it's better than Megs's Tarn accent.

... So, what's your nickname? Soon? Monny, like the painter? Money? Monster, like the energy drink?

[whatudottu]

Okay but can you just imagine Bot Experiment!Blitzwing’s reaction to encountering the Omega Sentinels for the first time 

Dude escapes from the laboratory he was being held captive at, offlining dozens of Autobot scientists in process, and thinks to himself “HA! That ought to get the Autobots to think twice about ever attempting to play God again in the future!”

And then a few stellar cycles later he sees these gigantic Autobots being unleashed onto the battlefield and just goes “are you fragging kidding me”

(Boy oh boy, just wait until he finds out about Project Safeguard)

Although Project Omega didn’t use already forged bots as ingredients to make the Omega Sentinels, it’s certainly a ‘let’s make cold constructed war machines that will not betray us good guy Autobots :)’ where some bot is gifted a control code (I can’t remember if Arcee was given it to her to control as her own or to deliver it like a carrier pigeon to keep its broadcast offline) that essentially enforces the ‘please fight for the Autobots custom made warframe’. Under the umbrella of ‘there are no flying Autobots’ what does that make the Omega Sentinels? Autobots making warframes for themselves and loading them with big powerful tech is certainly a memory that Blitzwing would Rather Not and will call bullshit upon seeing a flying tank on Autobot lines.

Introduce Project Safeguard to Blitzwing - especially with the mention of the use of Starscream’s Decepticon CNA - and let’s just say their new sons have to be gently introduced to their new brother Wasp without immediately arresting him.

[keef-a-corn]

Dat’s right, People, it’s time for ‘Keef watches TFP and you just get the notes!’

This is for season 1, episode 19: Rock Bottom.

Genuinely started crying when I realised. No. You cannot be serious. I can’t do this again…

I write down the timestamps, but I watch Transformers Prime on Stan (an Australian streaming service) so they may be slightly off.

ALSO! I try my best to note points for every character, but tend to get a little caught up by Bee (although I think I do a pretty good job with the notes regardless) so do be warned.

I will say that compared to my last episode notes, I’m a bit more upbeat. I finished ep 18 then went straight onto this, so I have no explanation as to why I’m more calm.

~~~~Transition~~~~

00:08 - mm delicious quality. Look at those smexy rocks.

00:31 - After Operation: Breakdown, if I were to theorise that it was actually a Cybertronian body, no one could say otherwise.

00:46 - They need one of those backpacks with a leash attached.

00:51 - especially considering that the conversation had very heavy implications that the mine was a dead end. This show would be a lot shorter if they put Miko on a leash. Could’ve been longer if they gave bots the recovery arcs they deserve though-

00:57 - Bulkhead’s father skills. I love it… Okay been a bit deprived of Dadimus and Bee content, so there’s a part of me that’s wants to redraw this scene so it’s Optimus running after Bee.

01:01 - Kinda vibing with Jack in these past few episodes.

01:29 - *throws into the crowd of Megatron and Starscream fans* FEAST!

~intro~

02:23 - Please tell me someone has a hc that Megatron goes spelunking in his free time.

02:38 - Would it be wrong for me to say I’m kinda vibing with Megatron rn?

02:42 - Starscream has an outline for some reason. Probably lighting.

02:47 - indulge: To allow oneself to enjoy the pleasure of something.

So he d o e s like spelunking.

03:08 - it absolutely would not :D

03:31 - A lot of the time when a character uses a bunch of buzzwords, it’s just a bunch of gibberish. TFP writers really said ‘hold my beer’ because I’d be lying if I said that the explanation didn’t make sense.

04:17 - mmm beautiful camera angle. Really shows the power imbalance.

04:22 - *throws to the Megatron fans* FEAST!

04:24 - What’s going on? Why does Starscream look so cute??

04:43 - excuse me how the fu-

04:54 - … HC Megatron reads body language excruciatingly well. Use that for your fanfictions if you so desire.

04:57 - Why would be so that?! C’mon. Ya could’ve used that.

05:00 - I cannot b r e a t h e ! Can he even see Starscream at that point?!

05:08 - Mmmm walk cycle. Also heavily animated Megatron(?), he’s very expressive in this moment.

05:30 - I adore the contrast of Megatron being expressive, but also unapologetically confident, while Starscream’s stiff and moves like a pigeon that hasn’t quite worked out that it should be flying away.

05:35 - Megatron’s like a theatre kid. It’s so compelling. I feel like I should be bored, but there’s another part of me that cannot look away.

05:51 - He said the title! Wee Woo!

06:20 - how did Arcee not hear them? I get that Megatron wasn’t exactly loud, but they were making noises that was most likely amplified by the tunnels.

06:22 - Megatron’s looking up, not at them.

06:47 - Smart choice, Starscream.

06:51 - let us take a moment to question wtf Megatron thought was going to happen. He had every intention of killing Starscream, but once his attention was drawn away, did he really think Starscream was going to stay back? It’s not like Megatron would need any help anyway, it’s Arcee. As much as she’s a girl boss, she doesn’t really stand a chance against Megatron.

08:27 - that shot lasted too long. + Apart of me was kinda hoping that it would cut to Optimus being like ‘My Primey senses tell me Arcee and Bulkhead are in trouble.’ Then Ratchet there like ‘your what?.’

08:54 - Jack using an Autobot curse. Really getting into the lingo aren’t ya, Jackie boy?

09:05 - Is that a reference?

09:16 - cue Surface Pressure

09:26 - this is a Metaphor for his emotional maturity and how he’s able to carry himself without being emotionally charged nor emotionally constipated. It isn’t- but it totally could be.

09:45 - okay but like, what if he did let go? Slowly, of course.

10:16 - There’s something so enjoyable about a character reacting in a way that is so unbelievably in character for them.

10:39 - Damn. Using your head there, ain’t cha?

11:24 - okay but why has no one come looking for the bots yet?

12:36 - Maybe the rocks are a metaphor for emotions? Arcee let’s her emotions get the better of her, Jack’s learnt to roll with the punches, Miko need to work on it but finds herself getting tired and having to give in, Bulkhead ends up in over his head and needs to let out steam otherwise he will get hurt, Starscream will always be on the run, but will work on himself too and Megatron’s buried too deep.

12:44 - *cri* noooo Bulkhead

13:09 - Aside from that being Optimus’s line, good job, buddy ol’ Jack.

13:35 - I hope Miko’s learnt her lesson.

13:47 - aww sweet pea!

14:10 - world’s most beautiful visual. Megatron’s got some very strong lights in his eyes.

14:25 - Even Megatron knows when he should be defeated.

14:38 - I know he’s right but like… man how I wish he did kill Megatron, or at least try.

14:45 - Why not with Bee? You two have tea together after all (IYKYK)

14:56 - from the way he moves it’s safe to assume he wiggling. Is Megatron secretly a worm? Perhaps.

15:24 - Somewhere in some universe Bulkhead’s a parent.

15:47 - hit me baby one more time. + If Bulkhead’s arms locked would he be able to continue to hold it?

16:43 - this camera angle really puts into perspective how large Starscream is.

16:56 - Ayo 🤨

17:48 - but the way Starscream said Miko- damn

18:17 - Her tears look like they were made on ibisPaint X

18:40 - Power imbalance shown through the angle

19:23 - Bulkhead’s mouth guard is fraggin hollow? Excuse me??

19:43 - The nicknames *cri*

19:50 - Why is that such a ‘main character’s bully gets told off’ scene?

20:20 - depends what from.

———————

And that was Rock Bottom. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Ain’t a favourite but that’s alright. It's a good episode, not my style, but certainly one that deserves love.
