To the anon that send me an ask, my dumbass deleted it by accident and I am sorry! Fortunately, I copied/pasted your ask in my notes before my mistake, so we’re saved!

I HAVE ARRIVED YET AGAIN >:]

So it’s time for me to ask you about your favorite characters in RiD2015 >:)

No backing off from this one, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!

*Runs away like a gremlin but trips on a rock and falls over*

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

Oh poor anon, you have no idea what you unleashed upon... nah just kidding, but thank you for releasing my inner feral gushings of my favorites!

Without further ado, I RELEASE MY BELOVES!!!

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

Let's start off with my all time favorite!

Strongarm

What do I like about her? hmm... EVERYTHING!

From her strong and buff physique (it's nice to see more frame variants in femmes, WE NEED THEM HASBRO!), her boundless energy, to her impressive memorization of protocols and their numbers. A tough, but smart cookie.

 I’m not sure about you guys, but I’ll spend HOURS listening to her just rambling about regulations on a car ride while nodding like an idiot. Gosh, I’m starting to fall for her…

Fixit

Fixit, Fixit, Fixit, my sweet wholesome minicon bean!

Adorable dude, a cheery character that I adored when seeing him on screen. Had a chuckle when he glitched out when he was about to say certain words in dyes- mics- rhymes! Regardless, dude helped his team out in every way. He’s the team’s technician and repairman, basically the backbone, even pulling out profiles of the Alchemor’s escapees via ship’s computers. 

I remember one episode where my dude is brawling a shady manager of an ex-champion (while I cheered on at 3 am) or in another episode where my dude’s original programming kicked in and turned into a terminator, but a prison guard… it doesn’t really help that there's about 100+ minicons like him (tbh I don’t know the total numbers)… do what you will with this information…

Thunderhoof

The mafia boss, angry moose on the loose, boss... babe

Bastard reminded me of those stereotypical noir film mafia bosses (it doesn’t really help that there’s him eating pizza in an official art piece… help…), and I'm not wrong. Plus his appearance and voice is… enamored to say the least…

Bro sounds pissed and will be pissed if something doesn’t go in his way, or someone doing stupid shit. Come on, this huge antler jockey is a freaking crime boss, so of course why wouldn’t he be pissed? He wouldn’t stop until he got what he wants, whether going back to cybertron, leadership, or objects of interest (and shredding someone to pieces, I’m talking about you, Clampdown! You sniveling snitch!).

Jetstorm & Slipstream

My Sweet Bun 1 & Sweet Bun 2, I love you both to death!

Both him and Slipstream are freaking cute (look me straight in the eye and tell me otherwise), and both are nearly the same height as a grown man (source? A screenshot I took for references in future digital drawings).

Jetstorm is a bit more creative than Slipstream and Drift combined, but a bit as well impulsive (which can lead him to trouble with Drift). Overall, he and other Minicons are adorable and if they committed crimes, I'll excuse them.

I’m going to repeat what I said about Drift’s minicons earlier, both are freaking adorable! Unlike Jetstorm, Slipstream is more chill and prefers to follow his master’s instructions. Despite the contrasting personalities, these two are a force to be trifled with via teamwork! Mess with one, get wrecked by the other! Perish!

Wildbreak

Gotta love the dude, timid but nice. Before ever seeing on screen, I read some posts that headcanoned him as the sparkling of Knockout and Breakdown. After that, I can see why. Cute tho!

#ProtectTheChildAtAllCosts!

Steeljaw

Alright I’m not beating a bush, this mf is attractive as fock!

At any dang episode I’m watching, the scheming wolf always makes me smile as if I’m happy to see him! (well duh, I am!) 

He knows how to capture attention with that soft, yet alluring charismatic voice, offering compliments, and seems nice… except that shit he’s doing is an illusion, and will stab you in the back if there’s an opportunity! Brother nearly had me in the first half, not gonna lie. This dude knows how to wrap people in his claw, or if that fails, time to off them in the name of his future empire!

Nightra

Oh my god… Nightra is something…

How did she and Strongarm become friends? Both are competitive, yet polar opposites of each other. Don’t get me wrong, I like her as well, so playful, carefree, and mischievous (even that leads her to trouble and ultimately her going rogue).

Aside from her similar buffy appearance like Strongarm (omgistarttofallforbuffywomen), her voice is… soothing to hear, yet not AND IT MADE ME BLUSH!!! THEY PICKED A GOOD VA FOR THE JOB! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I had to go to dreamland (lalalalalalala)

Shadowraker

Another attractive mf, and bastard (derogatory)

Fucker has good aesthetics (color wise and design), if charsmatic is a aroma, it’s him with a dark aura. Twisting innocent bots into their rotten former shells, yeah this is what this dude does after his ‘shadows’ brought in the stolen goods in exchange for shelter and guidance. Mmm, moral corruption…

I like you Shadowmaru-err Shadowraker, but I don’t like you at the same time. I remember when you kidnapped my fave minicons and promised that you would punish them for betraying you! (glad you got boxed on the pede, ya jerk!) Glad karma bit you in the ass!

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

Alright, gushing time is over! That's all folks! BYEE!

PLZ NIGHTRA / STRONGARM ANGST PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ

MMMM I love toxic yuri drama >:DDDc

English:

Kaon – a dark and cold city almost every day. Rain fell there at least once every few days, as it always followed its routine, covering the entire city and its surroundings.

But today, the weather was exceptionally unfortunate. Strongarm sat on the steps of her school dorm, fingers tightly interlocked and raindrops gently dripping from the roof onto her leather boots.

Thousands of thoughts crossed her mind, questioning if the decision she had made was the right one. "I wanted things to be good in the end," she explained to herself in her own head.

With all her strength, she closed her eyes and buried her head between her knees.

"Everything will be okay," she thought aloud. "It's Nightra... She has to understand... Surely, I can somehow fix this! Yes!"

She quickly stood up.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the headmaster and explain the situation! I'll rely on logical arguments, my father’s position, and... and somehow it will work out..." She wiped her face with her hand and sighed loudly, as if expelling the remnants of ideas on how to fix the situation with her beloved.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated again; it was her father - Ultra Magnus. The news of Nightra being expelled from the academy had already spread rapidly, especially since her father had compelled the principal to inform him about anything related to his daughter. Strongarm merely furrowed her brows and immediately rejected yet another of the dozen calls from her father. She silenced the phone, then forcefully shoved it into her pocket as if wanting the whole world to leave her alone.

She stared at the courtyard in front of the dorm, wondering what to do, when slowly her makeup began to run down her face.

Suddenly, the loud bang of dark wooden doors echoed, and the girl who had closed them sighed quietly, putting her bags filled with things from her room on herself, opening an umbrella, and walking ahead.

That girl was Nightra, with a sour expression and a fixed gaze on the ground, not even starting a conversation.

Strongarm almost threw herself at her in despair.

"Nightra!" She yelled, grabbing her girlfriend's arms. "Listen, I know you can be angry, I'm aware, but you know well I just couldn't do it. If my father  found out-"

"Could you just shut up?" Nightra easily broke free from her grasp. "Is your ‘love’ for that stuck-up old man so important that you couldn't do one little thing for your girlfriend? It’s absolutely understandable."

"No, Nightra, it's not that simple, you know that!" She grabbed the back of her neck. "I just don't want to disappoint him! He sacrificed so much for me, and he has so much hope in me... I just... I can't let him down! But that doesn't mean I don't love you! Please Nightra, I can fix this!"

"In what way do you plan to fix the fact that you blamed me for everything?"

"Tomorrow, I'll go to that awful principal and convince him it's a big misunderstanding! I'll even call my father to persuade him, and everything should be okay!" She laughed nervously. "Of course, you'll still have to face consequences, and for a while, my father probably won't let me contact you, but surely-"

"Are you kidding me, Regs?" Nightra looked at Strongarm with disgust. "You dragged me into this because you didn't want to break the rules and your awful father trust. I got expelled from the academy because of you and in your greatful plan I’m gonna get punished, while you wash your hands of it and disappear until the situation calms down! You're awful."

Those words shook Strongarm to the core. She felt weak and disgusted by the whole situation, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"Please, Nightra! I'm not like that, you know it well. It's about my father, and even if I didn't have to worry about him... I couldn't take responsibility for you. It-it's just wrong."

"Typical Regs... When you want something, everyone brings it to you on a silver platter. But when I, your girlfriend, ask you for something important, you treat me like garbage. Typical rich daddy's girl."

Nightra headed towards the building's gates where security was already waiting to escort her to the academy's limits. She didn't look back at Strongarm or utter a single word.

Strongarm was trembling, tears streaming down her cheeks, mixing with the rain and makeup. She clenched her fist with all her might.

"Nightra... I beg you. Don't leave me like this... not in this way... please..."

The girl just walked ahead, not looking back at Strongarm.

Polish:

Kaon- ciemne i zimne miasto niemalże każdego dnia. Deszcz padający tam co najmniej raz na kilka dni, jak zawsze powtarzał swoją rutynę ogarniając cały obszar miasta jak i w okół niego.

Ale dzisiaj, to było wyjątkowo niefortunna pogoda. 

Strongarm siedziała na schodach akademika jej szkoły, palce miała ściśle splecione, a krople deszczu delikatnie skapywały z dachu na jej skórzane buty. 

Tysiące myśli przechodziły przez jej głowę, czy na pewno decyzją którą podjęła była tą słuszną, "w końcu chciałam dobrze", tłumaczyła tak sobie we własnej głowie. 

Z całej swojej siły zacisnęła powieki i schowała głowę między kolanami. 

"Wszystko będzie okej" pomyślała na głos. "To Nightra...! Musi to zrozumieć...! Na pewno da się to jeszcze jakoś odkręcić! Tak!"

Szybko się podniosła.

"Jutro pójdę do dyrektora i wyjaśnię tą sytuację! Powołam się na logiczne argumenty, pozycję mojego ojca i... i jakoś to będzie..." przetarła swoją dłonią twarz i głośno westchnęła, jakby wyrzucała z siebie resztki pomysłów jak naprawić tą sytuację z jej ukochaną.

Nagle znowu jej telefon zawibrował, to był jej ojciec- Ultra Magnus. Już informacje się rozniosły o wyrzuceniu Nightry z akademii w trybie wręcz ekspresowym, zwłaszcza od kiedy jej ojciec zmusił dyrektora by informować go na każdy temat związany z jego córką. Strongarm jedynie zmarszczyła brwi i odrzuciła natychmiast kolejne z kilkunastu już wcześniej odrzuconych połączeń od jej ojca. Wyciszyła telefon, po czym z całej siły wepchnęła go do kieszeni jakby chciała, żeby cały świat ją zostawił.

Wbiła swój wzrok w posadzkę przed akademikiem i zastanawiała się co zrobić, kiedy powoli jej makijaż zaczął spływać z jej twarzy.

Nagle głośny trzask ciemnych drewnianych drzwi rozbrzmiał, a dziewczyna która je zamknęła cicho westchnęła założyła swoje torby wypełnione rzeczami z jej pokoju na siebie, otworzyła parasol i ruszyła przed siebie.

Tą dziewczyną była Nightra, miała cały czas skwaszoną minę i wbity wzrok w ziemię, by nie zaczynać nawet rozmowy.

Strongarm wręcz się prawie na nią rzuciła w rozpaczy.

"Nightra!" Krzyknęła i chwyciła za ramiona swoją dziewczynę, "Posłuchaj, ja wiem, że możesz się gniewać, jestem tego świadoma, ale wiesz dobrze, że nie mogłam tego zrobić, jakby mój stary się dowiedział-"

"Weź się może zamknij, co?" Wyrwała się z jej uchwytu z łatwością." Aż tak ci zależy na miłości tego stetryczałego dziada, że nie mogłaś zrobić tylko jednej małej rzeczy dla swojej dziewczyna, rozumiem, czaje."

"Nie Nightra, to nie tak dobrze to wiesz!" Chwyciła za swój kark. "Ja po prostu nie chcę go zawieść! Tyle dla mnie poświęcił i tyle nadziei we mnie pokłada... ja po prostu... ja go nie mogę zawieść! Ale to nie znaczy, że cię nie kocham, błagam cię Nightra, ja to potrafię odkręcić!"

"Niby w jaki sposób chcesz odkręcić fakt, że zwaliłaś na mnie całą winę?"

"Jutro pójdę do tego starego dziada i przekonam go, że to nieporozumienie! Jeszcze zadzwonię po mojego ojca żeby go przekonał i powinno być wszystko okej!" Zaśmiała się zestresowana. "Oczywiście będziesz musiała nadal dostać karę i na jakiś czas pewnie moj ojciec nie pozwoli mi się z tobą kontaktować, ale na pewno-"

"Żartujesz sobie ze mnie Regs?" Spojrzała na Stongarm z obrzydzeniem. "Wpakowałaś mnie w ten syf, bo nie chciałaś złamać raz zasad i zawieść zaufania twojego ojczulka, przez co wyrzucili mnie przez ciebie z akademii i w twoim przegenialnym planie mam jeszcze dostać potem nie wiadomo jaką karę, kiedy ty sobie umyjesz od tego rączki i znikniesz z obrazka póki sytuacja się nie uspokoi? Jesteś okropna." 

Strongarm aż wstrząsy te słowa. Czuła się słabo i obrzydliwie przez tą całą sytuację, a do kącików jej oczu napłynęły łzy.

"Błagam cię Nightra! Ja nie jestem taka, wiesz o tym dobrze. Tu chodzi o mojego ojca, poza tym nawet gdybym nie musiała się nim martwić... nie mogłabym wziąć za ciebie odpowiedzialności i tak... To po prostu niewłaściwe."

"Typowa Regs... Kiedy ty czegoś chcesz wszyscy ci to przyniosą w zębach,  kiedy ja- twoja dziewczyna, proszę cię o tak ważna dla siebie rzecz, ty traktujesz mnie jak śmiecia. Typowa bogata córeczka tatusia."

Nightra ruszyła do bram budynku gdzie już czekała na nią ochrona by ją odprowadzić do granic akademii. Nie obejrzała się w stronę Strongarm, ani się nie odezwała chodźby najmniejszym słowem.

Strongarm była roztrzęsiona, łzy płynęły je po policzkach i mieszały się z deszczem i makijażem. Z całej siły zacisnęła swoją pięść.

"Nightra... Błagam cię. Nie zostawiaj mnie tak... nie w taki sposób... proszę..."

Dziewczyna jedynie szła przed siebie, nie patrząc już na swoją byłą dziewczynę.

________________________________________________________

Besides, I watched this one and only episode with Nightra and god I forgot how this episode is good! I love it! like fr one of my fav ep of whole series!!! I love how Bee gave Sides ban for bazooka

and after he wanted to do something stupid said how stupid it is and they won't ever do it at home

Some ideas for your SG RiD2015

General ideas: Steeljaw's Pack here would be by the end of it Steeljaw, Thunderhoof, Fracture, Airrazor, Divebomb, Groundpounder, Filch, Nightra, and a still good in this universe Fix-it. Steeljaw's group got stuck on Earth chasing down the fugitive Autobot Goldbug.

Steeljaw: A rookie cop with a personality similar to Animated Optimus Prime. Really wants to prove himself. Colored like G1 Steeljaw. Kind of impulsive sometimes.

Thunderhoof: Would have an Irish accent. His blue parts would be replaced with green. Police sergeant type and Steeljaw's partner on the force. Unsure about his own leadership abilities.

Groundpounder: A security guard at the space bridge who was really bored with his job and jumped at the chance for adventure. Still bombastic. Colored like Beast Machines Apelinq.

Reading it and yes YES Y E S

I like the fact SG!Thunderhoof was a police drill sergeant in my RID2015 SG AU. He could be a nice counterpart for SG!Strongarm

———————————————————————————————

I have more draft ideas for SG!Steeljaw’s pack and SG!Bumblebee’s team of being counterparts with each other but I’m still thinking on execute the, properly

———————————————————————————————

Anyways, thanks for your ideas! 🩵

[nova--spark]

RID15 would've been way better with Wheeljack taking Drifts place in the team. Sorry Drift fans but I despise the RID version of him, and honestly find his design to be on the same level of bad as AOE.

Wheeljack would fill the role a lot better as I can see him becoming a bounty hunter post war to still get some action going. He could still take on Minicon partners if needed. And he might even reach out to Miko!

ok I slightly disagree too, I liked Drift a good chunk in RID, mainly cuz I also liked him in the Bay movies but that's besides the point.

That said, Wheeljack without a doubt would have shined when it came to RID15, with how TFP established him to be a free spirited fighter and a one man Wrecker crew?

He would be thriving in an Earth where he can hunt down all the bots he can, and yeah now that the war is over? Him being a bounty hunter doesn't sound like a bad idea! After all in theeee Nightra episode we do get shown it's a line of work.

Furthermore, Wheeljack is a seasoned warrior who would have helped Team Bee quite well actually. Yes he's a loose canon, but even he learned from Optimus when to rein it in, and when to let loose, and how to work with a team when he primarily worked solo above all else???

If you can make Wheeljack work fine in a team, even after he left the Wreckers, yeah you sit and listen to his advice and teachings.

He could have been another good influence to rein in Sideswipe actually, who also had a similar rebellious streak that caused so much of his troubles with the team.

AND YES MIKO MY D A U G H T E R WHEELJACK WOULD BRING HER IN AND THEY'D BE MENACES TOGETHER BC THEY FORGOT THEIR TEN TON GREEN BABYSITTER BACK ON CYBERTORN.

Will there be a storyline with the Decepticon High Council in mercy ?

I'm doing something interesting to explain RID 2015 in connection to Mercy. Basically, it never happens. The events of RID2015 do not happen during or after Mercy. Some characters and ideas from RID2015 do exist though. The idea is that in Mercy, RID 2015 is Sunstreaker's story he writes for fun based on lose information he heard such as the powerful minicon experiments. RID2015 is like a fanfiction within Mercy.

So some RID 2015 concepts are real. There really are minicons in Darkmount. There is a trap that Starscream can trigger that kills Darksteel and Skylynx in one storyline. The orange minicons that look like Fix-It exist. The character Cyclonus exists (but there is no exact Decepticon High Council like in RID2015). The lightbenders exist. Nightra and Strongarm exist. Sideswipe (Jr) exists. Those weird animal Decepticons do exist but many of them have brain damage from radiation.

What am I trying to do? Tie in RID2015 in a logical way but eliminate the things many people are unhappy with and keep the things they enjoy. People don't like Bumblebee being a jerk after TFP. So, Mercy will not let him be a jerk. That was just Sunstreaker's bad fanfiction. Megatronus doesn't return. But also, Optimus Prime does not return either just to be weak. Maybe Optimus does return some other way (to explain Rescue Bots Academy). But he will not come back in the RID2015 way with Micronus' stupid training session.

I want to do what I can to make the Aligned Continuity better. I can make up things to fix issues, and maybe people will accept them as their own canon.

So to recap, you can expect the Decepticon High Council characters to appear but what they do or how they act will be different from RID2015

[onewingedsparrow]

Underrated examples that come to my mind first are Bayverse Barricade (okay Idk if he fit any of these roles as a character but he had the police car form if that counts lol Idk how desperate you are) And RiD 15 Bumblebee and Strongarm! I think a lot of people forget Bumblebee is a cop because he's, well, Bumblebee, but that is his occupation, and he's even Lieutenant. Because of Bumblebee and Strongarm's connection to the police force, there are also some (very) minor characters who show up in S3 as well: Dropforge (Strongarm's mentor at the police academy), Nightra (Strongarm's classmate at the academy), and the unnamed troopers of the new High Council (who aren't part of the actual police force but hey they're there if you want random NPC types). Since you encouraged waxing poetic about blorbos, I would highly encourage you to include Lieutenant Bumblebee, he'd be honored to be there, whatever you're planning :D And seriously if you ever need to know anything about RiD / Aligned Bumblebee, don't hesitate to tag me with questions, I got you. ;)

hey guys can i ask for help to crowd source this? this is reference technically

i am looking for any and all minor (and minor-ish) transformer characters who are/were medics, firefighters, engineers, police officers and first responder types or could be implied to be so, any series is fine but you can specify! (they don't need to be autobots only)

i need this for reasons 👀 feel free to add your unsung blorbos to the list (bonus points for tf wiki links)

this is mostly off of the LL crew list as a starting point (i may have missed some)

medic

Hoist , Lancet (presumably), Medix

firefighter

Fervor , Kindle , Inferno , Hosehead , Hot Spot

police

Ore , Shock , Streetwise

engineer

Huffer

msc.

Grapple (engineer arguably) Rook (unspecified rescue) Heatrock (probably rescue) Skyfeather (probably rescue) Groove (probably rescue, maybe police?)

[grommy-blooming-texas]

I DID IT AGAIN-

Autobots version of RiD2015 (I hope I didn't miss any bots that are in the show here!!)

[supernova1us]

part 8

[sendasan]

L3; Nightra and Filch!

..And my other Happy OTP!

[artsy-hobbitses]

What would the name be of humanformers, Nightra and what would her origin be? Look up about her in case if you never heard of her.

Listen, I’m gonna have to make it a rule that if you want to try have a canon TF involved in this AU, you’re gonna need to /tell/ me about them because my cast is already pages long and I’m only taking on extras if they have a good story to tell 8U

Nightfall sounds interesting, but I don’t know that I would have any use for her in TTB because the circumstances to her character sort of goes against the way law enforcement has been established in TTB, in which it is a very flawed institution compared to the academy in RID2015 (That’s why TTB has so many EX-cops, Strongarm included, instead of active cops. It’s part of an existing broken system badly in need of a holistic overhaul).

It’s easier to paint her as a villain in RID because it’s established that her ‘independent streak’ (from what I’m reading on TFWiki) is a bug, not a feature to her job, whereas TTB encourages independence from and going against the current (very flawed) system. The narratives do not jive. Her being the way she is in TTB would not automatically be seen as a problem—hell, she might even get along well with most former law enforcement.

I can potentially see a way to work her in as the person who shot Strongarm, but that would require for her to be part of a bad system, not go up against it.

So she’s probably Miss-Not-Appearing-In-This-Story.

[transfemstarscream]

nightra from rid 2015 could be fun to analyze!

me on my way to rewatch rid2015 after forgetting everything that happened in it to analyze strongarm's unlikely friend that i remember being much more interesting than her:

[lunarfeat21]

Nightra (part three)

Part One | Part Two

[mgarmagedon]

Sketches that I made today in my work and looks like shit so I'm showing them to you XDDDDD

Damn I need to soon finally write Strongarm and Nightra angsty :///

Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) - Nightra

[blueikeproductions]

Was looking at TJOmega’s post about defacto female Decepticons, and how his suggestion for the Arcee counterpart should be Go-Bots Crasher. Felt like blogging my own thoughts since I’ve thought about this too.

Certainly not against Crasher, though depending on how “pure“ you want to be, I always figured you could get away with having her be a RiD Strongarm retool since the bodytype feels right.

Personally speaking I feel under other circumstances, BlackArachnia would likely have become the defacto Decepticon gal given her popularity and strong personality and abilities. Perhaps the only real draw back is her beast mode in a sea of jets and assorted military adjacent vehicles, which is why I tend to think Airachnid was created to sort of bridge the gap by being a spider that contorts into a helicopter. So to me, these two, or at least some combination there of, would make sense as the defacto lady-con….

But because of ever increasing G1 flexing and retroactivity, it’s pretty clear Nightbird is the token girl of the Decepticons as far as Hasbro is concerned. Especially with her having a staring role in Rise of the Beasts (albeit as a Terrorcon, but still a ‘Con all the same). I do think however Strika, Slipstream and Shadow Striker have been climbing the ranks more to potentially be leading Ladies themselves with increasing presence in comics and cartoons. I think Shadow Striker in particular, being pretty popular thanks to Cyberverse, could easily be the defacto leading lady going forward. I think it depends post Cyberverse and IDW2 how that goes down with the next major comic series and EarthSpark if she appears there front and center.

I think RiD15 and Cyberverse got the ball rolling to “normalize“ having more Ladycons in modern media and certainly in the former I’d love to see new takes on Glowstrike, Filch (less beast mode instinct driven and more master jewel thief obviously), Scatterspike, and (while not a Decepticon she’s still a villain) Nightra in future media in leading roles where possible.

If it were up to me, BlackArachnia, Airachnid, Shadow Striker, Strika and Shatter would be the main leading ladies in the Decepticons for various projects. They have the best potential in my eyes and all fit nicely for core Decepticons.

I’m perfectly fine though with Nightbird, but I kinda wish she had more … personality I guess outside of G1. Shes mostly there as an Easter egg than anything else and I hope RotB gives her a memorable take that can be used going forward.
