#sparkbots

[thenamesblurrito]

made these guys bc they're monsters of the week in s1e04 that i realized i could check off my list quickly

the Sparkbots are cute, compact little drones created by Principal Shockwave to serve as custodians, guides, and maintenance assistants for Teletraan, the JAAT's computer system. they're very nifty little things, obviously well made considering their inventor, and oh so useful... until Bludgeon gets his hands on them with a copy of the Unicron virus.

[fleshandwires]

somewhat old drawing of Angela, around the time period i started falling down the Kiss Players hole lol

[theneptuneflytrap]

Angela, herald of Unicron!

TFP Megatron hiring sparkbots to let off some steam, what’s he looking for? :3c

I think it'd be immensely funny if his main requirement was blue optics

Droid Village - randomly assorted thoughts once more

The extinction of humans happened in 2734, while phantom crystals were discovered in 2411.

Robots nowadays don't have distinct countries anymore, but the ones built before the humans went extinct were, obviously, built in specific countries. Colonel was built by a Polish man, Tadeusz Żuk, while 56-18 Plasma and 94-48 Sparkbot were made by a Chinese company. Seweryn was also Polish, but built moreso by a company as well, and MedTech-376 was built in a German factory.

When it comes to serial numbers, despite robots from a series being referred to by the series' title (like PITs or AGUARDs), they're most often referred to by being called an unit from a specific series, such as "an ARES unit".

PIT-5102 is helpful, friendly, and selfless... a bit too selfless. Being one of the many, many PIT units produced, they don't percieve themself as important, not as an individual unit. They tend to dislike it when they mess up in any way, and are therefore very dedicated to doing their job well. They don't notice flaws in others as often, though.

Their relationship with FLO-R4 makes them realize there's more to them in the optics of their friends, and it matters that these friends see them as unique - they don't see it right away, certainly, but FLO-R4 always liked them for being, well, themself, either way. PIT-5102 is still learning to accept it.

Sometimes, they bring FLO-R4 random little organisms they find in the caves, like mushrooms or moss, although FLO-R4 also doesn't mind hearing about the interesting stones they find either.

As overall helpful as FLO-R4 is to others, they consider themself more important than the other villagers because of their job. That's why they can come off as slightly arrogant, or percieve their contributions to the village to be greater than they actually are. Generally, looking down on others subtly.

Their relationship with PIT-5102 and TerraSO-4's friendship with AGUARD 1997 make them realize that their talents and one-of-a-kind model shouldn't be making them feel they're above others, or at least it shouldn't make them treat them worse. They slowly learn to pay more attention to others' talents, even if they seem mediocre in comparison.

56-18 Plasma built Lampi as a learning unit, which means Lampi's a robot that learns skills from experience instead of having a ready database. While they mostly keep track of how Lampi develops, especially around the lab, Plasma is just glad to have a friend around. Lampi was around for only 15 years, so they have much to learn.

Despite what could be expected, they met Colonel only once they moved into Droid Village. Their friendship bloomed rather quickly due to them being older robots from before humans went extinct, certainly, but they just generally like interacting together. It helps that 56-18 Plasma often gives repairs to Colonel.

There was an occassion when it turned out that 56-18 Plasma forgot to register Lampi as an existing robot, which resulted in them having to go with Drifter X31 to Commastok on the nearest occassion. To their and Lampi's relief, they didn't need to change Lampi's name.

They have a hard time with meeting other Lopen-oriented AGUARDs, and have cancelled an order to transport a new batch of Lopen to them on at least one occassion. Drifter X31 didn't exactly like being notified about it this late.

Having been built as a factory error specimen meant that AGUARD 1996 lacked many characteristics Lopen AGUARDs need to control their alien herds properly, such as the usual unit's height or strength. Even if they learned to use other advantages they may have, such as their speed or their claw's sharpness, they still think of themself as flawed. They tend to turn to violent options because of how they learned to deal with the Lopen, and they have a short temper - as short as a robot could have, at least. Still, they do want to help others in the village, and they are glad when they do succeed in their job - they hate failing in their purpose even more than PIT-5102 does.

AGUARD 1997, being built to care for the Bijou, is a generally calm robot. They love helping others and want to make sure others feel pleasant, and they often percieve things positively. They don't feel upset with others too often, but when they do, they have trouble making others aware of it.

They like visiting TerraSO-4, as the two like sharing topics together, such as about what they find beautiful, or general village stories. FLO-R4 is just glad TerraSO-4 has a friend, especially one who matches the AI's enthusiasm about aesthetically pleasing things.

TerraSO-4 is quite the pleasant AI, and appreciates when they get to interact with more robots. Just like FLO-R4, they are incredibly proud of their work, though the desire to be recognized for their importance can make them jealous of their robotic sibling.

Both AGUARD units have an option to play the same sounds their alien pets make, which helps with luring them in a bit more.

Colonel has trouble with remembering things on an inconsistent scale, which means sometimes they forget specific events or facts, and other times they remember them just right.

FLO-R4 keeps in contact with FLO-R2 the most out of all the other FLO-R units, same going for their AI companions. FLO-R2 doesn't always appreciate it, but she doesn't mind talking to them on a videocall from time to time.

FLO-R2 is one of the few still existing robots to be referred to by gendered terms, which is because she's gotten so used to feeling connected to the organic life she works with that she adopted that characteristic in particular.

Due to her job, she can filter the water she collects in her hatch without hurting the organisms inside, even using a mechanism in one of her arms to throw out the resulting dross.

Despite damaging PIT-5102 for not much reason, ARES 1410 didn't suffer much consequences. Colonel called their parent company, Arsenal Inc., about the incident, but the company never did much about 1410 specifically. As far as everyone knows, they're still doing their usual patrols.

There was one time where ARES 1410 crashed in Droid Village due to their rotors failing, ungraciously landing on AGUARD 1996's part of the alien barn. You could imagine neither AGUARD 1996 nor anyone else was happy with that happening. 56-18 Plasma fixed them up after they were brought to their lab, but 1410 specifically was sent away as quickly as possible. PIT-5102 thankfully didn't meet them directly this time.

Interestingly, ARES units, as a concept, are heavily repurposed from a former war-oriented series of robots called TalonACE, down to the transformation ability - although TalonACEs could also transform into jets and tanks, depending on type. ARES units are essentially the post-human version of them. They keep in being overall combat-oriented instead, and some units don't even resort to violence as often as others, just moreso strictness instead.

[superdinobros12]

I actually have a fan story where B-127 (Badassatron) is a Sparkbot

He hasn't had any social interaction in primus know how long- This adhd ridden bastard needs attention

[askvectorprime]

Dear Galvatron, a while back someone asked if Unicron would ever create his own dark primes to counter Primus's Thirteen. Vector Prime said that Unicron wouldn't because creation was Primus's thing, but seeing as you're to spilling Vector's secrets, perhaps you'd know if a group of "Dark Primes" exist.

Vector is a fool about many things, but here at least he tells the truth—or at least, a white lie. Unicron lacked even a hint of a creative spark; his one great creation was the Mini-cons, but even they were originally envisioned as existing in his image, like Dead End. Now with Vector's knowledge banks, I can see that pattern repeated throughout the cosmos: the Egg Beasts, the Sparkbots, the Cyclone Mini-Cons... it speaks to a perverse form of narcissism.

His one attempt at creating his own "Dark Prime" ended up a sparkless beast, and even that was a mere copy of Optimus. No, when Unicron wishes for a servant, he will always corrupt rather than create, molding a Nemesis Prime servant from a former Autobot "hero"—this has been known since the tales of old, but I see now that the likes of the Fallen are more than just legends.

I can also see why Vector was reluctant to share this information. "Nemesis Prima?" I shall have to seek them out sometime.

[nelfs]

btw the color-coding mechanic on the sparkbots in Heroic Mekkatorque is probably one of my favorite raid mechanics of all time. it’s so goofy how it turns the whole discord channel into a rapid game of Simon Says. there’s something so fun about it

[demonic-bubonic]

I present Andromeda! My starbound Novakid and her snugget Aberto. The two have traveled the galaxy for who knows how long but she loves it. She currently has a crew that I need to draw. 2 mechanics- Cheeta the Floran and Sparkbot the glitch 1 soldier- Rustlance the glitch. I love them all so much!

[polyhexian]

It's actually my SECOND ONE!! There are two; the first one has Rosanna glit and sundor and it's only like $100ish, it's not nearly as difficult to acquire as the second set. This one has the sparkbots in it who turn into orbs, and one of them is a bright pink girl lion with a mane. Been on my list for AGES. So now I have BOTH!!!!! I need the awful little anime girls from the regular line of three but... I didn't really wanna buy the box with the robots... But I'm kinda starting to think maybe I should get them because the kiss players line up is so short, and wouldnt it be funny as hell to say I own all the kiss players toys

Tfgo soundwave is the very last one I need from that mold! It was so exciting to find it, especially at that price. I picked up the second ehobby kiss players box set because I really wanted Angela; on the drive here I was even saying Angela was something I REALLY wanted to find this weekend. It's an expensive set, but I'm not going to find a loose Angela. I will consider selling the other two from the box loose because I don't really care about them; I have the other box and just Rosanna without glit or sundor so it doesn't really bother me. It's just a bit of a hassle. I wanted the box anyway because it's good for the shelf; I love showing my kiss players stuff to visitors and watching their reactions. I got a fucking MICRON BOOSTER, one that was exclusive to the very first printing of the micron legends DVD box sets. Theyre so frustrating to find, they barely even go for sale in Japan. And ALSO a micron booster that was exclusive to a camera store in Japan, and that's something I've REALLY wanted to find and have never seen for sale before. Telemocha black arachnia. More tfgo dragons. The black top breakdown. Heavy metal, a Japanese exclusive micron legends combiner, all three pieces are girls! Legends scale slipstream. Takara arcee. And then als stuff lol. This really is our big show where we just go nuts.

I also paid for a surprise commission for Al from Aaron Archer teehee, he's going to be so surprised and delighted. I got Liokaiser, his favourite transformer (toy), to be his icon for his Tiktok. He said it will be done tomorrow.

[xdeusxmachinax]

Hey, so how man muse do you have on this blog, do you have list for us to look at. (Sorry if I'm ask a question that been already asked before.)

*cracks knuckles*

Here you go, friend.

The Heralds of Unicron are Inhabitants of Unicron who have consumed Anglomois and have been transformed by it, remade to better serve Unicron. As such, they are more dangerous than civilians. Canon characters are indicated with an *. ‘Open to Multishipping’ means that although a character is in an established relationship, alternate universes mean they are still available for your muse to fall in love with. Assume everyone is available, only a handful aren’t.

Airaid: A young low-ranking seeker with an almost preternatural ability to foresee attacks. He can often foretell the time; place; and source of enemy assaults; up to eight weeks in advance. Airaid uses this talent to ensure his team takes measures to prevent the enemy from attacking; sometimes before they choose to do so. Airaid sees this precognition as a sign he is ‘blessed’; and loves lording this fact over his fellow Spawns. Transforms into a Saab Jas 39 Gripen. Approach with Caution.

Alternis: When not donning the ceremonial robes and mask of the Confessor; this priest of Unicron spends most of his time counseling others. Alternis seeks to offer comfort and peace to his comrades; and is always willing to listen. He takes great pride iin his collection of Olfactory Therapy paraphernalia.  Formerly a Decepticon slave named Turntable. Adopted Father to the Blader femme Glory. Transformation cog was removed by the D.J.D. Safe to Approach.

Anarchy: The result of breeding between Oblivion and Sideways; Anarchy is a young virus femme just learning the ropes when it comes to wreaking havoc. She’s less a warrior and more of a mischief make. Anarchy spends most of her time training, and can usually be found beside Overkill, who she sees as a best friend. She’s got a long way to go before she can call herself a herald. Currently, she’s training at the Autobot Academy on Cybertron. Transforms into an F1 Electric Formula Car.  Safe to approach.

*Angela: De Facto leader of the Sparkbots, this lion-hearted minibot loves her job. Whether its scouting Anglomois or misleading servants of Primus, Angela will not give up until her task is complete. Confident, strategic and energetic, she’s having more trouble settling into a peaceful life than the other Sparkbots. When she isn’t using her Kissplayer powers to help fellow heralds, she usually spends her time in an autocare shop. Safe to approach.

*Antagony: Although conceived as a gift for Shokaract, Antagony has built a life for herself outside of the conqueror’s shadow. This High Priestess of Unicron has devoted herself to the art and science of causing pain. She takes cold pleasure in torturing enemies and allies alike, and few of her lovers survive the experience. While her sadism makes her a skilled warrior, her true talent lies in time travel. No bot is more suited to enduring the physical and psychological tolls caused by defying time and space. While she and Shokaract are not mates, they have been seen together, and more than once Shokaract has emerged from the encounter with new scars.

Apocryph: The shattered glass version of an alternate Oblivion; Apocryph is everything the Hand of Sorrow isn’t. Open minded;  passionate; and slicker than an oil spill; Apocryph’s sole concern is his own well-being. He has no trouble using and discarding friends; lovers; and even family for personal gain. Incredibly vain and prone to eroticism. Approach with caution.

Assassin: The weakest member of the Annihilation Armed Forces; Assassin has a tendency of shying away from social situations and prefers the company of her team mates, Hazard and Nuke. She is generally good-natured; if not awkward; but make no mistake; She trained under Drancon; and is one of the most lethal ladies on Unicron. Do not be fooled by her small size. Transforms into a Lauge Jensen motorcycle.

Beatdown: Also known as ‘D.J B.D’ Beatdown is one of the largest inhabitants of Unicron; and a devastating instrument of destruction when on the battlefield. While known for his size and strength; Beatdown’s true pride and joy is his music. He can record sounds such as crushing metal; a flickering spark; and the sound of a laser blast cutting a bot in half; and edit these noises to form a hit song. He manages the unicronian Radio station ‘The Scream.’ Transforms into a German ‘Ratt’ tank.

Bloodshed: The oldest inhabitant of Unicron; Bloodshed served alongside the fallen during the war between Chaos and Order. During the peace; he has retired to a life of hermitage; locking himself in his private chambers. Very little is known about this illusive spawn. Approach with Caution.

*Bludgeon (Armada) Once a low ranking genericon, this tank mech discovered a new lease on life when given his skeletal pretender shell. A Master of Metallikato who values combat and mayhem above all other pleasures. He’s rumored to have some semblance of honor, but he denies this claim. Rescued from certain death with his Amica Enura Dirge and Thunderwing. Approach with caution.

Coeus: A Prosecutor sub-species of Quintesson; Coeus serves as the primary medic on Unicron. As one of the oldest spawns; he is a font of knowledge and advice; alternating between friendly and fatherly to flirtatious and playful. Fearless, loyal and reliable, nothing comes between Coeus and his patients. Some say he’s fought the god of Death hand to hand.He enjoys teaching a sexual education class on the weekends. Does not Transform. Safe to approach

*Dark Scorponok: Once an undead terrorcon enslaved to his hunger; Scorponok is not the mech used to be. As his broken mind was being pieced back together; he had time to reflect on the past, and much like his master before him, decided to make a change for a better future. A natural born leader; Scorponok has dedicated himself to protecting weaker spawn. He has found a like-minded ally in Oblivion. As a terrorcon, Scorponok possesses the ability to sense energon deposits, although he has little use for this talent. Safe to approach.

Deathblow: One of the few law enforcement officers on Unicron; Deathblow is powerful; brutal and relentless. He’s willing to tear apart a thousand criminals if it would mean protecting a single ‘innocent’ and with a butcher knife nearly as large as his body; he’s more than capable of doing so. An iron will and almost complete lack of fear make him one of the most dangerous mechs on Unicron. Conjunx Endura to Bluemoon; adoptive father to Reaper, Sire to Warrant. Transforms into an anti-riot vehicle. Approach with Caution.

*Dirge (Armada) Pessimistic and stubborn, Dirge spends most of his time moping in the darkest corners of Unicron. He prefers odd jobs to ending world, and avoids acting as Herald when he can. Dirge is certain that he and his comrades are dead and living in some form of purgatory. In spite of his sour demeanor; Dirge is not without compassion. Rescued with Thunderwing and Bludgeon. Approach with Caution.

*Drancon: One of Unicron’s failed attempts to create a better life form than his brother. This reptile-insectoid mutant’s cloaking ability only makes him better at his occupation, and he has but one job. Killing. He is Unicron’s executioner, a master assassin. Once he has his eyes on a target, the only resolution is death. However, Drancon is not heartless. He considers himself a warrior of balance, and values life. For every throat slit, a tree should be planted. For every kneecap broken, a stray animal fed. In this way, sins and sainthood are counter-balanced. He is the most peaceful and balanced among the three siblings. Changes into a lizard-dragonfly hybrid.  Approach with caution

*Elephorca: The firstborn among the outcasts, and the cruelest. He is a beast who would slaughter every life form on Unicron to get the recognition he feels he deserves. He considers himself Unicron’s son, torn between a murderous hatred toward his creator and a desperate yearning for his approval. He feels he should be Unicron’s chosen herald, and not banished to the bowels of the chaos-bringers planet form. His only real redeeming factor is an affection toward his siblings; Ratorata and Drancon. He sees them as being in the same boat as he is. His hobbies include heavy drinking and swimming. Changes into a woolly mammoth-killer whale fuzor. Do not approach.

Farcry: Farcry is a rare sort of person on Unicron. He’s someone who doesn’t want people to die. This minibot has a huge heart, and an even larger responsibility. When the time comes to harvest planets allied to Unicron, Farcry must travel ahead of his master and warn them of his coming. Once he’s passed on this message, the real work begins. Farcry has a special talent; in his alt mode he can alter his mass to carry thousands of life forms. It isn’t easy keeping an entire population calm enough to choose who lives and who dies, but with a religious devotion toward both Primus and Unicron, as well as a strong, gentle soul, Farcry is up to the task of guiding others through the apocalypse. Fond of singing. Transforms into a cybertronian escape pod.   Safe to approach.

* Galvatron II: In his own time, Galvatron is triumphant. Earth has been conquered, Rodimus Prime is dead, and Cybertron is no more. Galvatron traded his freedom for Cybertron. For the most part, he was content. But his time- his reality- is no more. Betrayed by the Unicron he once served, Galvatron is more than willing to take his revenge on this new Chaos-bringer.  He’s found somewhat kindred spirits in Elephorca and Shockaract. Do not approach.

Hazard: Hazard was born for one purpose and one purpose only. Wreaking havoc. Built from the remains of one of Unicron’s most brutal heralds, Hazard is seen as a weapon of last resort. Incredibly strong and completely without fear, she is a walking biological weapon, pockets in her body carry live cultures of Cosmic rust, seeds of Cybercrosis, Cybonic plague viruses, and a million other nightmarish ills. If she ever needs to use one of the diseases at her disposal, a tank on her back allows her to isolate and filter a germ or virus into a gas or liquid. Hazard remains undefeated, but should she ever face an enemy stronger than herself, she can detonate her spark, unleashing enough pestilence to wipe out a galaxy.. Leader of the Annihilation Armed Forces. Transforms into a tanker truck. Approach with extreme caution.

*High Wire (Aurex 604.24 Gamma) Long ago, High Wire was a guardian, Combining with his team mates Sureshock and Grindor to form Perceptor; he stood bravely against anyone that would threaten the weak…until he came to his senses! Great power has been known to corrupt, and few powers are greater than the ability to transport people through time. High Wire pledged his allegiance to Unicron, and his first offering was the sparks of his former team-mates. When his universe began to collapse around him, High Wire stowed away inside Megabolt’s cockpit during the Exodus. As such, he is one of the very few Minicons to survive multiverse travel. Power-hungry and manipulative, he’s quickly making a name for himself among the spawn. Approach with extreme caution.

*Hook: A ghennexian criminal reformatted into a time traveling herald. After being killed by Galvatron, Unicron gathered his remains and resurrected him. Strong, silent, and completely devoted to his team mates Line and Sinker. Slowly, he’s rediscovering the joys of free will.  Approach with caution.

Iapax: (available for multiship) Timid in spite of his massive size, Iapax is a non-combatant who prefers to hide and provide energon for the real warriors. He’s sweet-natured and nurturing, if not slow-minded. Iapax adores the movie ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ Transforms into a Wind Turbine. Conjunx Endura to Mangle.

Ion: A clone of Animated Perceptor, determined to prove himself superior to the original. An expert mathmatician and one of the foremost scientists on Unicron. Transforms into a microscope. Safe to approach.

Kortex: Son of Kranix the Linthonian. A survival specialist and genius. Although he knows how to pick his fights, bitterness and an air of superiority tend to get him in trouble. Transforms into a go-cart like machine. Approach with caution.

*Line: A ghennexian criminal reformatted into a time traveling herald. After being killed by Galvatron, Unicron gathered his remains and resurrected him. A surprisingly gentle soul who is cautiously interested in the worlds around him. Courageous and eager to please his Teammates, Hook and Sinker. Line is haunted by a past he can’t remember. Safe to Approach.

*Long Haul (Viron 704.31 Epsilon) Gods, multiverses, Chosen Ones, fallen primes; honestly, it’s all too much for Long Haul. He could care less about the intricate religions surrounding Unicron Culture, and he doesn’t much distinguish between one Unicron and another. He just wants to build and be left alone. Maybe if he keeps his helm down and does as he’s told, he won’t have to worry about being reduced to a drone. Truth be told, he’s just happy he never has to become Devestator again. Safe to approach.

Lowlife: (available for multiship.) Anvil has always been dumb muscle for one evil power or another, before Unicron, it was the senate.. Killed alongside his brother by Optimus Prime during an assignment, He woke up on a mortician’s slab, having been painstakingly put back together by Syphon and resurrected with Angolomois. Syphon intended on having a personal bodyguard and servant, and renamed his catch ‘Lowlife’. With his brother dead and the Senate not registering on his com-signal, Lowlife wasn’t opposed to his new lot in life; it wasn’t that much different from his old job, and the fuel was a lot better. Years of loyal protection were rewarded, and in time, Lowlife went from bodyguard to Conjunx Endura. Lowlife is a patient and dedicated housekeeper, but remorseless when it comes to his position as a member of Unicron’s Onslaught Force. Conjunx Endura to Syphon, and adopted sire to a female antibody named Sylph. Currently caring for Syphon’s child, Macabre. Monoformer. Approach with caution.  

Mangle: (available for multiship) Once a mere scrap sorter for the Decepticon army of the Taran Universe, Mangle always dreamed of something more. That something more was an ambitious step up from ‘taking dead bots apart’ to ‘taking live bots’ apart, and studying medicine was the quickest way to get what he wanted. His sadistic experiments could hardly be called medicine, but Unicron saw enough potential in his bloodthirst to recruit him. His official title is ‘Medic’ but many suspect the real reason Unicron keeps Mangle around is to learn from him. Just how far can a Cybertronian body be pushed before the mind breaks? Mated to Iapax. Do not approach.

*Megabolt (Viron 704.31 Epsilon) It has been said that the two most destructive forces in the universe are a Unicronian and a Politician. Megabolt is both. he uses his charisma to lure non-cybertronians into seeing him as a savior. He takes great pleasure in their expressions of horror when he wipes them out. An unrepentant speciesist, he has little interest in integrating with Darkhaven’s melting pot culture. Transforms into a transport ship.

Mina: A female linthonian originally intended for breeding, Mina’s intelligence and charm quickly lead to her becoming a social mediator. Her warm tone and mastery of multiple languages can stop even rampaging spawn, and her warmth is equally matched by her courage. Often found with her best friend Bluemoon. Currently raising a youngling she’s debating naming after her grandsire, Arbulus. Safe to approach.

Noose: A construction mech and skilled executioner. Member of the Controlled Chaos task force. Brutal and professional. Soft-spoken. Sire to Spector.

Nuke: Once a slave in a Decepticon comfort station, Nuke’s hatred toward primus festered more with each indignity inflicted on his body and soul. When his health failed him, he was discarded by his masters; left to rot on a barren asteroid. Hazard happened upon him, and brought him back to Unicron. The Chaos bringer repaired his broken body, replacing his rotted spark with a nuclear reactor. Reborn as a spawn, Nuke was more than willing to join the suicidal Annihiliation Armed Forces. Time has a way of healing old wounds, and recently Nuke has managed to put his past behind him, serving as a surrogate big brother to new spawn and fellow outcasts. Carrier to Airraid. Transforms into an Avro Vulcan. Organics do not approach.

Oblivion: (available for multiship) Unicon’s Hand of Sorrow; Second in command to the chaos-bringer. His cold, judgmental personality masks an inner kindness. Fiercely protective of those under him, and bystanders he deems innocent. Unquestioningly loyal to the lord of Chaos.  Looks a lot like the Megatron of the Animated universe. Sire to Anarchy, and lifemate to an Autobot intelligence officer named Cyberwave. Wields a scythe that can open portals to the void. A skilled warrior and telekenetic. Transforms into a luxury hovercraft. Approach with Caution

Overkill: An allspark infused Sharkicon; He is six times the size of a normal member of his species, with a sleeker, more reptilian alt mode. He is the muscle of Oblivion’s team; as well as a geological scout.  Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but wisdom and intelligence are two separate things. Transforms into a modified Sharkticon.  Approach with caution.

.

*Ramjet:(Cybertron) Victimized by elder gods and discarded by his own Unicron after failing in a resurrection ploy, Ramjet was retrieved from the dead space between dimensions. With his own sense of honor and a quiet dignity, he seems intrigued by the concept of spawn and cybertronian living in balance. His sanity is slowly recovering, and after eons of loneliness he relishes meeting new people. His greatest weakness is Minicons; he’d collect them all if he could.   Sire to a triplechanger named Trinity with a second youngling on the way. Transforms into a jet. Safe to approach.

*Reptilion: Freedom is a daily struggle for this Unicronian General. Once a peerless scholar and spacebridge engineer, Reptilion spent eons enthralled to an alternate Unicron. Every breath, every meal, every choice or action dictated by his master, Reptilion was little more than a puppet. Now that his will has been returned to him, Reptilion finds daily life overwhelming. Unicron seems to consider him a worthy investment, and has commanded Drancon to help in Reptilion’s path to self-sufficiency.

*Ratorata: another failed attempt at creation, Ratorata is a femme who looks out for herself above all else. She knows a hideous face can be overcome, especially with the right curves….and after all, a hole is just a hole in the dark. She uses the fact that she is a rare female among unicronians to get what she wants, and what she wants most is wealth. Gold, silver, jewels, she covers her grotesque body in the finest jewelry. Love is fleeting, and a males loyalty fickle. But diamonds last forever. Her greed and manipulation hide a bitter loneliness and self loathing that she will not reveal…not even to her brothers. Changes into a lionfish/wasp beast. Approach with caution

Razorclaw:

Shokaract:

*Sideways(Armada) : Adopted from the Armada Universe. Sideways is a living computer Virus who feeds on spark energy, a veritable Incubus to Cybertronian kind. He’s a loner who tends to keep to himself. Sideways is a martial arts master with the ability to alter his form as he sees fit.  He can take on the appearance of any bot he has mated with. Oblivion trusts him in spite of his treacherous history, and the two danced around the idea of a political marriage for years. In the end, the two settled on being Amica Endura. Currently, he’s focused on repairing his relationship with his daughter; Anarchy. Transforms into a motorcycle.Do not approach

Spector: The son of a hymnist and herald, Spector was born to serve Unicron. The death of his carrier at the hands of the DJD shook his faith, and his loyalty to Unicron is questionable. Combative and bitter, Spector has painted himself to resemble a corpse, his coloring reflecting his outlook on life. Cold shades of gray. Transforms into a jet. Amiaca endura with Airraid.

*Star Dust: For a Chaos Spawn, Star Dust is oddly obsessed with order. A time and place for all things, she keeps the Sparkbots on schedule and ensures things in Darkhaven run smoothly. Although Strong-willed, honest, and dedicated, she has difficulty expressing emotions, and is always reluctant to use her Kiss Player power. Safe to approach.

Switchblade: a group of five Stentarians. His ability to transform into any possible tool makes him useful to the heralds of Unicron. In exchange for his service, he is free of his races sixteen million year old war, and can finally put his feet up and relax. Friendly and inquisitive. A bit of a flirt. Safe to approach.

Syphon:(available for multiship)  Long ago, Syphon was on the right path in life. Apprentice to one of the best morticians in Kalis, Syphon proved to be adept at repairing corpses, slicing away unpleasantness, repairing mortal wounds, restoring the dead to a state that would bring their loved ones peace. After receiving a head injury he began to enjoy the act of cutting much more than restoring. Addicted to the fumes released from corpses, Syphon began tracking down and murdering mechs, the city of Helex his stomping grounds. With his scalpel set his preferred weapon, he became known as the Helex Hollower. Unicron saw potential in the  serial killer and recruited him. Now, Syphon harvests organs to repair damaged unicronians, indulging in his addiction and serving to help save lives. When not in the grip of psychosis, he’s outgoing, playful, intelligent and coquettish. Adopted sire to the female Antibody Sylph, and carriet to a young seeker named Macabre. Conjunx Endura to Lowlife. Has a tendency to listen to violent music during battles. Transforms into an Audi. Approach with extreme caution.

*Tarantulas : (Beast Wars) (Available for multiship) plucked from his own timeline, Tarantulas now serves as a scientist and medical officer to Unicron’s heralds. With a brand new lair and all the cybertronian flesh he can eat, Tarantulas accepts his slavery only half begrudgingly. He’s made something of a life for himself with a day job as Darkhaven’s top food critic.He’s even settled down enough to start a family. At the end of the day, he has a young son at home waiting for him. He’s named his heir Hivemind Tripredius Mesothelae, and hopes to present him to the Tripredicus council when the time is right. Transforms into a female Tarantula.  Do not approach.

The Fallen: Once a demon of legendary evil, old age and peace have blunted his claws; and where his flames once blazed, now they smoulder.  Experienced and intelligent  Safe to Approach.

*Thrust: (armada) (available for Multiship) Years of disregard by Megatron means Thrust has no loyalty left for Cybertron. Then again, dying at the hands of an alternate Unicron hasn’t helped cement his devotion to this Unicron. Cynical, by-the-book and experienced, Thrust’s skills as a tactician have only sharpened with age, and he currently spends most of his free time as a teacher, passing his knowledge onto the next generation. . His minicon Inferno is never far away. Approach with caution.

Thundershot:  Sweep number 262; adopted after finding his way to Unicron through a wormhole. Thundershot is painfully upbeat in spite of being used as target practice. He often offers a shoulder to lean on, or a friendly smile. A rare bit of brightness among the darkness of chaos. Transforms into a spacecraft.  Safe to approach

.*Thunderwing: (Armada) A paragon, considered the ideal herald. Charming, witty, friendly toward his own kind, and a killing machine in battle. He is both Herald and High Priest. Sire to many young and a favorite among breeders. Was rescued alongside Dirge and Bludgeon. Safe to approach.

Tremor:

Tritone:

*Zangetsu: Zangetsu would be the most valuable mind on Unicron, if his crippling shyness didn’t prevent him from sharing his knowledge. An expert at areial attacks, Zangetsu would rather make himself useful on the battlefield than try to make friends. Quiet and capable, he’d be the most useful of the Sparkbots, if he could just bring himself to utilize his Kiss Player abilities. He’s found a kindred spirit in fellow ninja Bludgeon, and can usually be found hiding somewhere in the Pretender’s chambers. Approach with caution.

Imagine being a kid in 87-88, with the sheer wealth of shit transformers put out. The headmasters, powermasters, targetmasters, the duocons, the clones, punch/counterpunch, the pretenders and pretender beasts, those cassette combiners, the sparkbots and triggerbots, AND fortress maximus, all in about 20 months

[decepti-thots]

i am not going to lie i want every single one of those kp binaltech redecos and if i ever get them i will straight up burn the boxes to avoid a curse settling on my home. if i ever go for any and the figures are included (bc they are almost always boxed on the aftermarket here, UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME) i will give you the figures for free.

you know when i got my KP cassettes i REALLY considered selling off my sundor bc a) i care less about him and b) ngl i could sell him for like 2/3 of what i got the boxed set for easy, lmao, make it back. but he's actually so pretty in hand i don't think i will, his deco is LOVELY

Miscellaneous Droid Village lore, because I do not know where else to put it

The year is 5936.

PIT-5102 mainly communicates via beeps and showing images on their screen, although the do know the sign language currently used by robots.

The main language used by the society, though, is called cypher.

Colonel and 56-18 Plasma are the only ones from the village who remember the humans.

Colonel was built as a robot, yes, but also as an art project. They have an electric system, but the thing keeping them in motion is the pendulum. It can stop moving from time to time, leaving Colonel frozen until another robot swings the pendulum again.

56-18 Plasma is one of the few bots in the world who reprogrammed themselves. They used to be an electric maintenance robot, specifically from a line of bots called Sparkbots, at least until they decided on the change. And so, they gave themself the skills of a mechanic, which they felt much happier with.

AGUARD 1996 and AGUARD 1997 are from the same production line only due to a factory error. 6 is not be the same type of AGUARD as 7, as 6 is specialized in watching over the Lopen rather than the Bijou, but the mix-up caused 6 to land with at least a dozen Bijou-guards while they were being produced.

FLO-R4 is one of the currently seven existing bots who work on preserving nature, all from the same line.

The Lopen are stranger creatures than they seem. They feed off sulfur and water, they have no bones and reproduce asexually, their mouths open up like some sort of meat flower, and their skin seems strong enough to not be scratched or stabbed by even sharp blades.

The Bijou are slightly more average in their qualities, although they seem to be able to eat anything and yet still turn it into methane... somehow. Their shells are silicone.

“Everyone loves the Sparkbots, Principal Shockwave’s custom built drones that assist people around the JAAT. But when they start behaving erratically, how soon will our heroes realize their erratic behavior isn’t just from government surveillance programming, but something more sinister? Especially as these drones are so effective at distracting them, even to the point of getting them lost in time!”
