Rewind- calico British shorthair

Swerve- hermit crab

Rodimus- bengal cat

Ratchet- Awassi ram

Fortress Maximus- highland cow

Red alert- kengal shepherd dog

Optimus- these fuckass massive hares that I’m not entirely convinced are real

Starscream- grey parrot (because he’s loud and annoying and I hate him)

Pharma- great horned owl

Tarn- australian cashmere goat

Shockwave- either a stag beetle or a japanese giant spider crab (I genuinely couldn’t pick)

Human Alternates of the Autobots and Decepticons

For @julayla and @neogirlart so you guys can add in your ideas.

So, I have been brainstorming on what Team Arcadia, the human version of Team Prime and the Arcadians will be like. Arcadia is a fantasy land in the human verse where the elf Kinjiru and her family and the elven Commission live. As for where the human verse Decepticons, they live in a very dark continent where demons of Ars Goetia and such dwelled, seeking to claim Arcadia as their own land called Nidhogg.

[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!!

[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 🥺

[choomchoom]

D for Autobots in the Wild and the Rung Sessions, E for Ship, and also M!

D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with [insert fic]?

Autobots in the Wild - i made a playlist for this fic that has one song for every chapter, the idea being that the song would represent the POV character’s attitude during that point in the fic. I remember the reasoning behind….some of the choices. Renegades by X Ambassadors went with the first chapter and sets the tone for the early/lighthearted adventure part of the fic. I went with Super Bass for the Rodimus chapter because he wishes he were living in the world of that song instead of languishing having to listen to Mags and Megs debate the Autobot Code. 

Rung Sessions - Shine by Benjamin Francis Leftwhich is my cornerstone Rung song, so I associate it with that. this happened to be a fic without a playlist, i think when i was writing it i mostly just listened to various mountain goats albums straight through 

E: If you wrote a sequel to [insert fic], what would it be about?

I had two ideas: 

1) I would write it in the Functionist Universe, about the ship that comes to be known as the Last Light (probably wouldn’t follow mfwfy canon - i just like the AVL crew and they’d be fun to write about the way i wrote Ship) 

2) [Lost Light spoilers] I would use the ‘Lost Light is sentient’ mechanic as a basis for an alternate ending to the series! (I actually wrote this story before the last several LL issues came out, which is weird to think about). There would be a decent amount of drama but the ending would go something like this: 

Rodimus and Ship: adventuring is a viable way to solve the energy crisis

Prowl: yeah? prove it 

Rodimus: okay will do!! 

M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?

I’m finally working on a starjack fic - that’s a pairing i’ve wanted to write for ages but had never come up with an idea that seemed tenable 

Prequel to Come Closer - my take on how Windblade and Chromia first met

[Lost Light spoilers] Something to do with my headcanon that Nightbeat (because of his association with the Dead Universe) can’t/didn’t die 

[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?

[notwhelmedyet]

Keep to ourselves mostly Few friends and fewer closer friends Lead a long life if you're lucky Hope it never ends

Plug a night light in Leave the porch light on Because the small dark corners have designs on me

Rewind : Distant Stations

Rodimus : Choked Out

No brakes down An endless dark incline Most of the boys Won't ever cross this line If they all want to die dead broke that's fine, that's fine Everybody's got their limits Nobody's found mine

Rung : Unmasked!

And you don't care, you look almost relieved down there Like you're free, like you can breathe now Like they've sawn off your cast Just one more sleeper to see through And by way of honoring The things we once both held dear I will reveal you I will reveal you

Skids : Luna

Trace names in ash Big names, old friends And dead ends Those last few frames Go down so fast Rise through the flames and end again in flames at last

Whirl : Foreign Object

Gonna jab you in the eye with a foreign object I personally will stab you in the eye with a foreign object

[athenafire]

She gave Rodimus a smile. "Yep! Pa said the best way to learn responsibility is to care for someone else." the hermit laid back on the horse, who calmed down significantly. "Started with a hen, then a goat? ...Or a sheep... But when I was seven Duke was born."

"My dad was cool too--"

“Oh yeah? What was he like?” Plops down and pats his lap for the human. “Tell me about him.”
