im not even joking this is my favorite panel probably

[d16megatron]

You already know what timing we are on right now. Hot Rod? In Transformers One??? You bet your ass. This has taken a while to get done, because a certain someone contains every single colour I am colourblind to. Shoutout to the goats for making sure I got the palette right, though. Life savers fr fr.🗣️<3

He's just some silly, goofy ahh, racer for this design. Flashy for the fans, and ready to hit the track. Maybe I'll find the time to design Blurr? Who knows. Alls I knows is that my wrists need a break for a bit. Persnapple I will get silly again.

The artistic (autistic) piece of my brain wants to design Rodimus Prime for whenever this idiot gets picked by Optimus later down the line. But dear Lord above, that's gonna be a future, and I mean future, project.

ALSO HELLO NEW PEOPLE!!! Did not expect a slight influx with Bee's upload. I'm just a guy who draws sometimes, so it means a lot to get so much support.

[foolnamedjoey]

Soundwave kinda my goat. how bout you. favorite autobot?

**TRANSFORMER POINT AND LAUGH/J

I like Sounwave as well, but I don't think I know enough about any transformer to for sure say my favriote

though I do very much enjoy some rodimus prime if I do say so myself

^ my discord pfp

[tfunity]

We call her 'Gaia.' But, really, that's just hope. Humanity was born from Typhon.

Name, Title: Unicron, Unmaker

Domain: Chaos, Stars, Organic Life, Evolution, Death (the place)

Singularity Type: Supermassive

Alt: Planet Earth, Chimera

Weapons of Choice: Adamant Hunter, Longinus Hunter

Primacron's Notes:

The culmination of hatred and hubris. A god I bound to my larger daughter's horn chose to exist within some prototype Gray Goo I had in the back of the lab. By the time I noticed Primus carrying its bucket around, it was already too late.

It just-- kept getting bigger. First it ate scraps, then pests, then contenders at the gladitorial pits, then people, then planets. Everything is food.

Except for me. I'm always allowed to escape from any world it finds. Considering how violet I am these days, I do think this thing is spitefully keeping me alive.

Et tu, Unicron. Et tu.

Secrets, Lies, and Other Stuff:

Origin of the Sol System and all that lives within. Overarching antagonist for most of the series, with the exception of S4. Has little goals beyond consuming everything.

It's a very simple monster. Kill, consume, conquer.

Design Notes:

More deeply resembles the bone that bound it than its brother, being a near replica of Primacron's larger daughter. The only exception is the armor it wears. And the giant hole in its chest.

Like Primacron, it has only three fingers. It has far more toes though, to help it grip onto things; it's very unstable on a good day.

Being gray goo (see the tiny original form on the bottom there), its form is completely malleable. Its smaller alt, a roughly described 'chimera,' usually resembles any of the mixed-species monsters of myth. Gryphons and the goat-lion-snake classical chimera are the most common. It acts mostly cat like.

The Hunters, the original Hunters, wrapped around its arms were gifts from Primus. The charm on each has a little vocal recording that it, despite claiming to feel nothing, keeps around.

Face deeply resembles Rodimus'.

BW AU Links

I have quite a few followers and also have been wanting to to this for a while so its easier to find stuff on my blog and for others to find stuff. Also I have drawn a LOT of characters but still have a lot I still wanna draw and design.

i will add a tag for the au writing i will do or ideas

BW AU

AU Comic

Individuals Undercut along with some brief explanations where i can make sense of my story

Maximals

Main Base

Prowl - The main character in this au. He was one of the first i designed. His story is that he was the last surviving spark after a predacon attack on a spark field. He's very stand off ish. Mostly based off of TFA prowl but i would like to add some idw prowl to him as he gets more character development. He's a cross fox.

Minimus Ambus - He's a mentor for most of the fox charactesr including Prowl but they have a falling out. He's a fennec fox and based off of his IDW appearance.

Jazz - apart of special ops. He becomes friends with Prowl and is a possible love interest as i like their dynamic in fic and in tfa. He's a straw colored bat. Based off of G1, FOC and TFA

Mirage - He is so much fun to draw and I feel like he fits the style i want the most with this au. He's apart of the special ops and is friends with cliff and tracks. He's a panther chameleon.

Cliffjumper - Another early design that hasnt changed much that i still like. He's a goat, kind of a hybrid between an ibex goat and a Jacob's 4 horned goat. He mostly live on his own in the mountains. Based off of his FOC game appearence.

Tracks - Had to add my fav in here as well. He doesnt have a plot or anything just kinda wanted to design my fav bot. He's a black panther and based off of his G1 appearance.

Rattrap (Just gen rattrap not au specific) - He is pretty much the same as his BW apperence. Maybe a bit softer to his mentee Wreck Gar. He's kinda of the IT guy/Handy man of the base. He also makes weapons and other things. But atm its a more peaceful time between preds and maximals. for now at least

Wreck Gar - A skunk. I really love him so much. He's Rattraps mentee which Rattrap never even wanted to begin with. He's the kinda guy that can fix anything with gum and duct tape.

Rodimus - He was just fun to design. He was based off the saying like a bat out of hell. He's a painted bat. Based off IDW mostly cause that's the one I know him from the most along with a character from an obscure anime.

Bulkhead - A hippo. Not much to him yet

Bluestreak - A grey fox. I dont have much for him yet as i want to do more reading on his personality before i finalize his role. He's on communications atm but may change

Rewind - Based off of a dragonfly. He's an archivist.

Artic Ops

Smokescreen - Apart of the artic base and another main character. I wasn't planning on having an artic ops until i realized how many artic animals i have. They will be like a B story when i get things more organized. Shes a go getter and very action first think later kinda bot. She's an Artic Fox and mostly based off of TFP smokescreen.

Ratchet -A polar bear. Based off TFP specifically the artificial energon episode.

Arcee - An Artic Hare

Drift - A snow leopard.

First Aid - A snowy owl.

Predacons

Waspinator - He needs an update. But i love him so much i want it to look right

Knockout - A common raven. I just thought he'd look good in black and wanted something that wasn't a song bird.

Breakdown - A Rhino. Based off Zamu his mini con in some japanese related media. He needs an update

Slipstream - A hooded crow. She's the punky goth of the group. Shes in a group with Jetfire and Jetstorm

Jetfire - An orange breasted falcon. Dare devil and goof of the group.

Jetstorm -An albatross. The leader of the group.

Soundwave - A mexican freetail bat. He's the decepticons eyes and ears. Similar to TFP but also with some TFA.

Rumble and Frenzy - Based off of Batflies. Theyre his minicons and often spy on the predacons and maximals. No one is safe from their blackmail.

TBD

Bumblebee (Gen Tag Will change in the future) - A friend of prowl and part of a third party thats not predacon or maximal but a plant based group. with botanica as the leader. He was the first one I designed and i still really like his design. He's a lot softer in the beginning but that's mostly from being sheltered. He will grow and change throughout the story.

Lockdown - TBD

Shockwave - TBD

[sparklesdogs]

Hello hello :))

How is it going? Anyways here is a review and a bunch of ideas I wanted to share.

Here is my thoughts on the latest chapter:

Can’t wait to see how the story is affected with the autobots leaving earth but yeah I don’t know what else to put here other then that I am excited for what you are going to cook up :))

Anyways ideas galore here are some that I thought of that I wanted to share so bad

Let sari and bumblebee cause chaos whenever they go to Cybertron

It would be funi if first aid was actually demoted and was sent to sentinel and Elita’s team due to him stealing an organ (keferon’s tf Mecha au reference by the way) or from his obsession with wreckers. (It can be why he doesn’t really interact with people that much because he doesn’t want to be demoted or worse yet kicked from the autobots itself due to his obsession causing him to screw up/bros is a freak (affectionately) and doesn’t want people to know that he is one.) So he just takes all the bullshit his team throws at him

Also for the ex Decepticons (like drift or ambulon don’t know if ambulon was actually in the all spark almanac or not but it’s fun to think about it though) do you have any plans for them? Because I was thinking that maybe drift can appear and dratc-*bang* anyways yeah 😎

Was thinking about that one episode where sentinel was paying lockdown to capture the decepticons and it would be funi if Orion’s team (ei bumblebee) going along with it for shits and giggles and only for at the end to throw hands with wasp. for Rachet to kick the crap out of lockdown.(wwe style with the ring and all/j) by the way rodimus along side the jettwins and jazz as they are there to check up on the autobots there because god damn they kinda suck at their job (not you aid keep doing what you are doing)

Also what do you think about hound (i only know his g1 version like the bare minimum. gosh dang they didn’t give him an an actual design, I mean I do understand why that is but at least we have his head in the tfa style) because he is the motherfucker (pardon my language) who is the only bot that can sense where mirage is when he turns invisible. who wants to be a human and experience everything there is to being one as to fully immerse himself. He sees cybertron as dark and barren. He love organics as a whole due to how beautiful they are to him. It would be a fun chapter plot where mirage and Hound are sent to earth to collect samples, where mirage is doing his third party agent stuff with the Decepticons. Hound can become friends with sari while sari can show him the other organics and help him with collecting samples. And by the end of it hound would be like “your world is so beautiful, I am saddened by the fact that I am a cybertronian and not a human being. If I had a wish I would become one so to appreciate more of this world called earth.” Sari is like wow he actually respects my existence and ideas.(bonus points if hound drags first aid with him because my goat deserves a break) Meanwhile Mirage is using the time to get a closer look/picture of the Decepticons and whatever happens to him and them stays between them. (He might tell blurr about it. In an encrypted way I suppose) tldr; hound goes on an existential crisis and wishes to become human while mirage is fucking around with the decepticons (hey it can be where blurr appears in but you probably already have an idea when blurr is going to appear but it’s just a fun idea none the less)

★彡

Oh goodness gracious! Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I got a break and decided to literally spend the entire time replaying TOTK. Think I logged into Tumblr like.. once during the week.

For your first question: I'm doing good, thanks! Like I said, I got a break and was then consumed by the video games.

In regards to your thoughts on the latest chapter:

Welllll. I can't say much about the next chapter or even about the Autobots leaving Earth 'cause it would really be a spoiler! I will say that those who have seen the show already know what'll happen. ;)

Putting a keep reading link 'cause this response is loooooong.

In regards to your ideas galore :D:

Sari and Bumblebee are always chaos. I actually didn't like Sari when I first watched the show. Then I realized that a.) She was voiced by the amazing Tara Strong and b.) She actually becomes really likeable as the show goes on!

In my AU, First Aid was sent to Sentinel and Elita's team because he's a pacifist in (definitely not, according to the Autobots) war time. This makes him kinda useless to the rest of the Elite Guard. Other medics can at least fight to defend themselves or their patients. First Aid won't, preferring to hide his patients to keep them safe. Not very helpful on a battleground, where there is very little cover. He just kinda takes everyone's BS because he knows this. But, as I've stated before, he's always watching. Definitely more brains than brawn.

Omg Keferon's AUs. I love them so much! Empurata Prowl, Mech AU, Shockblurr art, JazzProwl sketches. They are awesome!

As far as I know, Ambulon doesn't have a TFA version? An official one, at least. I'll say that he exists in my AU, but the most I know about him was from MTMTE and LL. I doubt that I'll ever actually focus on him more than a few references or answers to asks.

Drift does have a TFA version! He honestly just looks like Blurr, but with different colors and a different shaped helm. In my AU, he's definitely still Deadlock. Since Orion caused Megatron to "relax" some so-to-speak, the horrors that Deadlock was exposed to in the original TFA didn't happen. So, he had no reason to change to the Autobots to become Drift. I like to stick to the backstory where Ratchet met Deadlock at the DeadEnd clinic, but since we don't know much about TFA Drift, I can really make his backstory whatever I want. As I've said before, Rodimus knows Deadlock. They're pretty good friends (because I loved their energy in the comics). Yes, I ship Dratchet. Though I guess it would be Ratchlock since he isn't Drift in this AU? Will I ever have Deadlock show up? Maybe. Am I mentally shipping Deadlock and Ratchet whenever the two are mentioned? Yes, always.

Yeah, Sentinel and Elita's team are really really bad at their jobs. Here, Sentinel doesn't have the money to pay Lockdown. I would love to keep that episode in the story. Ratchet is, 100% going to throw hands when he shows up. I haven't given him his revenge chapter yet, after all. I still don't have everything worked out about Lockdown in my story. He WILL show up, I'm just still thinking about how. I definitely want to do it soon, but it's still a mystery honestly. IF I choose to do that episode, Bumblebee would definitely play into it. He'd probably manage to rope Blitzwing into it too, since he's one of the ones who does actually get captured in the show.

I'm not going to do that episode for Bumblebee's revenge. Specifically, I want to do it for the episode "Where is Thy Sting", but I know that's a season 3 episode. Since it doesn't have much impact (apart from bringing Wasp to Earth in the show), I could probably squeeze it into the second (current) story arc. Sure, Bumblebee has fought both Ironhide and Wasp at this point in the story, but he's always done it with others around. He's never been able to confront them himself. "Where is Thy Sting" would be the perfect episode since it would be Bumblebee by himself without his team.

Jazz, the Jettwins, and Rodimus are going to be helions together. I just know it.

I like Mirage. I like his and Jazz's friendship in a lot of fanfiction. I don't know much about him or Hound outside of what I've read (so I have to take it all with a grain of salt). I like G1, but the personalities there are almost non-existent. I'm more well-versed in later iterations of the TF characters (Prime, Animated, Earthspark, MTMTE, etc) and neither of them really make much of an appearance there. In my head, Mirage is one of the senior employees of Spec Ops (hence why he's present in council meetings and has a voice there). Jazz and Blurr are his co-workers for sure. As I've said when you asked about Mirage before, he's got his theories. But he works in the background, silently compiling information that he's getting from Blurr and Longarm (though if Shockwave is silently letting certain files transfer to someone else while pretending it doesn't happen, who's gonna call him out for it?). Until the story actually transitions from Earth to Cybertron, don't expect to see Mirage or Hound. I like to think of Hound in this AU as his bodyguard. Officially, at least. Personally, they're at least friends.

But if they DID go to Earth, Mirage would probably bring Hound along as his bodyguard. He can protect himself perfectly fine (and can turn invisible, duh), but try sending a councilman to a strange planet without some form of protection and see how it goes.

Thanks for the ask and I'm SO SORRY it took so long for me to respond!

[quetzalpapalotl]

If the lost light crew were to be Beastwars characters, what beast modes do you think they would have? :0 I think something like Whirl=dragonfly, Tailgate=koala maybe?, Drift=coyote?

Personally, I think Whirl would be a goose or a swan because he's already bird-like, has a long neck and causes problems on purpose, but also, he's a mother.

Cyclonus, mmm, I guess a jaguar because he's deadly, silent and not super social. Brainstorm is some sort of cat with wings because hybrids do happen in BW and I saw Nate's catformers video and it looks cool. Chromedome could be a echidna because needles, but also because they sleep a lot and CD doesn't have much of a will and mostly mopes, also insert evangelion quote about how getting close to people hurts.

Mmmm I have actually never thought about this before, I feel Rodimus would do nice as a fox. Drift as a coyote sounds good, but he (and Deadlock) is also very cat-like. Nautica should be some sort of ray to copy Depth Charge's shtick of being able to both swim and fly. Riptide would naturally be some sort of shark. Ratchet should be a goat because I like goats, they have similar temperaments and avoidghost's design comes to mind

you know what, Getaway should also be a fox like Rodimus.

Those are what I could think of. Thanks!!

[rodismancave]

Rodimus can’t help but visibly grimace. It’s not that he doesn’t think it’s nice! It’s just… it’s just…. Corny. It’s so corny he has to fight every plating in his body to not laugh, which nearly fails if not for a cough he lets out.

“I mean, I suppose, that, er. Hardcore dates just aren’t for everyone.” He’s trying so, so hard. It’s somewhat, strangely enough, cute that that would be Rung’s ideal date. Rodimus isn’t even quite sure why he feels surprised. If anything, that should just solidify his image in Rodimus’ database.

He hadn’t even mentioned anything about goat entrails, but that… it does sound kind of awesome. Even if not very efficient. How much goats would have to explode to even cover him? It’s not like he’s exceptionally small. Goats look so tiny, and he know organics tend to have a lot more going on inside them than… what was he talking about again?

He shrugs. “To each their own. Sounds more like you’re lookin’ for a romantic sort of date.”

(@rxng) Everything you just uttered is extremely concerning.

{@rxng}

No way. How is it concerning? Does a date at a gas station not sound awesome? and EVERYTHING ELSE after?!

Come on now, Rung. where's your sense of fun? of ADVENTURE?

[thenamesblurrito]

Deadlock: a difficult life may be a valid reason to act out, but Deadlock has made it the basis of his personality. Belligerent and antisocial, he barely scraped by into the Academy and is only just managing to avoid expulsion for his terrible attitude and behavior. Living in the Ronin Compact under its patron Shadow Raker taught him that there’s no safety in any relationship, and the best defense is preemptively warning everyone away before they can hurt him. The students and faculty, however, are slowly chipping away at his defenses. He spends most of his time hanging out with the other outcast kids who have taken to calling themselves the Wreckers, staying far enough from them that he doesn’t have to interact but close enough to hear Kup’s stories, despite the fact that it brings him into close proximity with that brash, infuriating Hot Rod. While his speed and athleticism are natural for his size 2 racer frame, he keeps a lot of his interests secret, like the theological poetry his favorite teacher Wing recites in class, or dramatic animated shows with accompanying posters and character figures.

Drift: when an act of petty vandalism landed him the Star Saber, Deadlock finds his inner power and upgrades into Drift, a suave and composed swordsmech named for the way he feels cast adrift from the troubles of his civilian life. He is a staunch believer in the message of the Decepticons and preaches freedom from functionism as he duels his way through whatever mundane opponents or faction members have appeared today. His powers are a second alt mode as a copter, dual rotor swords, impeccable panache and charisma, the Star Saber which burns with the power of his own lifeforce, and the ability to mildly sense auras or spirits of both the living and the dead. His first meeting with Rodimus Prime sealed them as lifelong rivals, but he finds himself genuinely admiring the Autobot to the point of rethinking his loyalty, and the spirit in his relic only encourages his doubts…

And here he is, the final Decepticon! Or, well, he may not stay a Decepticon for very long. This gorgeous design for Drift over at @transformersreflections inspired Deadlock’s little goat horns, but Drift himself took design notes from the three musketeers and Cyrano de Bergerac.

After this, there’s one more faction to draw...

[bottomcyclonus]

Not a problem if you don't have time for em, but I figured I'd throw a few songs that I've attributed to characters back your way since I liked everything you rec'd! "Hungover in the City of Dust" by Autoheart (chromedome) "Magnolia" by Gang of Youths (rodimus) and "Cry for Judas" by The Mountain Goats (whirl) - ⚔️️

OH THESE WERE SO GOOD!!! thank you for sharing!! I added them to my playlist 🥺
