#tf Blackout

[xenonmalachite]

had a little fun and played with some fashion deisgn for 2 certain bois. Crosshairs and Blackout are my favorites of each faction in the bayverse. it was especially fun designing them for each occasion.

from left to right, first is their casual, then you got their human jobs (BLackout is a specilised Helicopter Pilot, Crosshairs is a weapons designer/Engineer), going out to places like a party, pub, or club, and then formal attire.

i had to take in account their culutral backgrounds and what the climate would be like and what they're use to.

My human Blackout Comes from Sparti/Sparta. so he would be use to a hotter environment. in his work uniform, he's all zipped up as he's not use to the cold of the altitude he flies to and because he usually is in hotter places. so he has less layers. also, greeks tend to dress smart casual so even in the clubbing attire he tries to aim for that ball park. he's not exactly dressed for the club or pub but still is out of that smart casual. My Crosshairs on the other hand strikes me as a punk who moved from a small town in Wales to Cardiff for work. so he's layered up as he would be more use to the cold. but his work would have him near machinery that runs hot so he's not very layered in his uniform. with the clubbing attire, he strikes me as someone who dresses in the UK punk style and embraces the culture and where it stands. he's got the flags of him, his wife (Loco Motion), and his two cousins (Fuselage and Roadbuster) as well as the autism red infinty symbol, enamle of the welsh red dragon, and the bisexuality pin. i dressed him like a guy you'd find in UK punk clubs just laughing at the bar and yapping. formal attire was a bit tricky for him because... well it's Crosshairs. but i still found a way to make it him

anyway. please enjoy

Transformers Omnicode Main AUTOBOTS (... maybe lol)

The Main Autobots: —----------------------

Name: Bumblebee Position: Leader of the Ark Division Weapon(s): Stingers, Static Rifle Spark Ability: Electricity Sting [Bumblebee can create shields out of pure energy and release those shields as a barrage of stingers] Bio: Bumblebee never wanted to be a leader. All he wanted to be was an engineer. He even tried to apply as an engineer. But no one would take him. His altmode made him suited for only delivery runs and being a racer. So Bumblebee slogged away, taking up a job as Alpha Trion’s delivery driver, delivering notes to various Lower Senate leaders and even to High Senate leaders. But when the war started, Orion Pax assigned the newly acquainted Bumblebee as leader of the Ark Division. Bumblebee almost protested, but Orion Pax stopped him, saying that he sensed a strong spark in Bumblebee, and he was the one best suited for the job, since the Ark Division consisted of getting ships ready for launch and defending the Autobot controlled flight decks, which were severely limited. Bumblebee accepted the role then, and began to lead the Ark Division, even after Orion Pax ordered the retreat.

Name: Drift Position: Weapon(s): Twin Blades, Energon Crossbow Spark Ability: Quick Teleport [Drift can do quick and short teleportation] Bio: Drift was once a Decepticon named Deadlock. He was Megatron’s top assassin and spy, but during one of his missions, he was caught by the two Decepticon deserters, Grindor and Blackout. They took him to Bumblebee, who expressed interest in Drift’s beliefs. Drift stated he wanted nothing more than to bring peace to Cybertron. Bumblebee simply pointed to a section of the flight platform where hundreds of cots layed with Cybertronians, of all factions. It was made quite clear to Drift that Megatron had simply gone down a path of violence. Drift wanted peace, Megatron only craved violence. It was then Deadlock became Drift. 

Name: Grindor Position: Scout Weapon(s): Buzzsaws, Machine Guns Spark Ability: Temporary Invisibility [Grindor can turn invisible for a temporary amount of time. Bio: Grindor and his twin Blackout were both bodyguards for important individuals before the war. But when the war STARTED, these two were almost immediately left to die. During a raid on an Autobot Flight deck, where the main operatives of the ARK Division were, both Grindor and Blackout were shot down by anti-aircraft artillery. And Motormaster simply laughed at their supposed demise, despite Breakdown trying to get back to them. It was actually Bumblebee and Fortress Maximus that found them bleeding out, and actually helped repair them. With that both of them lost trust in the Decepticons.

Name: Blackout Position: Technician Weapon(s): EMP Cannons, Fisitcuffs Spark Ability: Total Blackout [Blackout can cause a massive EMP blast that can shutdown any and all technology not powered by a spark] Bio: TBH just read Grindor’s bio. The biggest difference is that Blackout was the one to build Grindor’s buzzsaws.

Name: Arcee Position: Speed Delivery/Scout Weapon(s): Energon Katanas, Twin Blasters Spark Ability: Machinery Connections [Arcee can connect with any energy powered machine without a form on Mentality] Bio: Arcee used to be Cybertron’s second fastest racer, behind Blurr. She always wanted to beat him, but when the war started, all of that was thrown to the side when her best friend, Cliffjumper, was badly wounded by Arachnid. While he escaped, he lost his hearing and ability to speak. So she began to hunt the Insecticon. During that time, Bumblebee, who had just been put in charge of the ARK Division was in some serious need for some scouts. And when he came across Arcee on a routine patrol, he asked for her help, in exchange for his aid in hunting down the vile Decepticon. Arcee eagerly agreed.

Name: Windblade Position: Current Cityspeaker Weapon(s): Sacred Blades Spark Ability: Energon Clones [Windblade can summon clones made of Energon. She has to be careful though, since it runs off HER Energon.] Bio: Windblade was always interested in the history of Cybertron. Its mythology, government, everything. And it was thanks to her keen eye for details that old Cityspeaker, Victorian, asked Windblade to become the next in line. While hesitant at first, Windblade agreed. Fast forward to the beginning of the war, Windblade has joined the Autobots since Orion promised they would do their best to preserve Cybertronian history, negative and positive. 

Name: Whirl Position: ARK Division Wrecker Weapon(s): Machine Guns, Great Sword, Claws, Chest Guns, Tasers on Claws Spark Ability: Aura of Devastation [An area of pure devastating energy surrounds Whirl, allowing him to to simply walk over weaker foes, eliminating them.] Bio: Whirl used to be a clockmaker, being able to escape the confines of his castate. But it was relatively short lived when Institute employees retrieved Whirl forcefully and forced him under the Emputara Process, turning him into a bloodthirsty killer. But it was thanks to Shockwave, before he was turned into the being he is now, that Whirl was able to gain more of his original memories and mentality back. Now a Wrecker for the Autobots, Whirl uses his abilities to defend those who need it, in the bloodiest ways possible.

Name: Fortress Maximus Position: ARK Division Second in Command Weapon(s): Energon Ax, Twin Cannons Spark Ability: Engulf in Flames [Fortress Maximus can engulf any weapon he holds in intense hot flames.] Bio: Fortress Maximus is one of Orion Pax’s best friends, and worked with him in the library/archives before the war. When the war started, Fortress Maximus was on the front lines, helping Orion get innocents off world before there was too much innocent bloodshed. Orion personally assigned Maximus to Bumblebee as his second in command due to Maximus’s skills as a fighter and tactician, believing the two could become quite skilled partners.

Name: Grimlock Position: Leader of the Dinobots/AR Division Field Commander Weapon(s): Chainblade (chainsaw sword), Wrist Flamethrowers Spark Ability: Berserker Mode [Grimlock can go into a supercharged bruiser state, his body becoming incredibly super heated] Bio: Grimlock is a descendant of Optimus Primal, a Maximal that served under Nova Prime. Despite this, Grimlock’s alt mode, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, connects him to the original Megatron, or Predatron. Regardless, Grimlock used his heritage to create a legion of Cybertronians called the Dinobots. While seen as an imposing and deadly warrior, Grimlock is intelligent, being a powerhouse in field combat, and his love for Cybertron’s wildlife and everyday citizens made him join the Autobots. He and the rest of the Dinobots would be charged with helping the ARK Division during the final months on Cybertron.

Name: Wheeljack Position: Lead Engineer and Scientist Weapon(s): Rocket Launcher, Taser, Brass Knuckles, Wrist Rockets, Teleporter Spark Ability: X-RAY [Wheeljack can see through any unaltered solid object including Cybertronians.] Bio: Wheeljack served as the High Council’s head Scientist. Despite all his work though, he was always seen as scrap, and was even regularly damaged by members of the council whenever he failed. Wheeljack didn’t even want to work for them, but due to his inherent intelligence, he couldn’t just up and leave. It wasn’t until the war started was he able to escape his horrid circle of life, becoming an Autobot, seeing it as returning the favor to Orion, who often saved his life after being damaged. Now Wheeljack builds the ARK Division their gadgets and weapons alongside Blackout.

Whoops not me planning out Bumblebee’s kid???

I was just minding my business and thought, what if bumblebee had a kid??

So I used a random number generator to choose a transformer. And then mixed em with bumblebee because it’s fun :))

Anyways, I got Blackout.

So their kid(?) is a chunky, beetle-themed, sports/suv transformer.

I need to change their design more cuz it’s too close to bumblebee for me :/

His head crest should probably be more beetle inspired tbh, since Blackout’s crest is quite complex. And maybe some spiky shapes on his armor for a beetle vibe too hmm

And this’ll be their color palette inspo

[bluinary]

Hey

[aviatrix-ash]

Some more Decepticons from the complete Allspark Almanac, mainly the clones including Skipjack, Nemesis Prime, Dark Rodimus, and the Decepticopters! Seems with them, Magnificus, Toxitron, and the Seekers, the Decepticons were leaning towards a Clone Wars approach in an attempt to get an upper hand vs the Autobots. I kinda wonder how that would have played out later in show :o

[shitty-proendo-blackout-posts]

YOU are a fucing hypocrite

[emmybeearts]

Devious Devisiun Decepticons

[ilmeshka]

🦂Two sparklings (one of them is youngling) met bum. Here's Waveshape (daughter of wavewave) and Victory (daughter og blitznut) met Blackout, why did the first one run away out of fear, and then she remembered that she had forgotten the youngest

🦂The audio was taken from a video about Peppa Pig from a Russian-speaking American named Dizzy Disaster (I also added subtitles to make it clearer to you)

Transformers Omnicode BASIC TIMELINE

Ight so here is the basic and IMPORTANT plot points of the Omnicode timeline! Keep in mind that there MAY be changes to this at any given point.

ALSO, while to PLOT itself doesn't show many things, rest assured things like the Iacon Relics from TFP, the Space Bridges/Magnus Hammer from TFA, The Golden Disk from BW, etc will ALL be somehow included into the plot, either as relics being hunted down, or just references and such in the background, or something else entirely!

_______________________________

IMPORTANT PLOT POINTS:

ARK Division gets the order from Orion to send everyone off world. 

The main AUTOBOT cast enters the ARK and discovers its secrets.

The ARK arrives on Earth and lands in an old Cybertronian-made campsite hidden deep in the mountains. The Decepticons also arrive and make a base somewhat nearby.

A few conflicts covering the area ensue, following various targets (Ancient Technology, Energon Mines, etc).

FASTFORWARD: The main AUTOBOT cast has all found altmodes. (“side episodes” would describe their interactions with the humans via Jack, Miko, Raf, Sari and Issac Sumdac, and N.E.S.T) when Optimus Prime arrives with Ultra Magnus and Elita One. 

Cut to various characters which reveals both sides are getting tired finally. Even Megatron was tired and thinking of ways to end the war without fighting.

Enter the Shattered Glass universe. The Shattercons (SG Decepticons) join the Autobots. The Shatterbots (SG Autobots) join the Decepticons. Goldbug runs to join the Autobots.

More fighting and planning. Shatter Prime (SG Optimus) begins to challenge Megatron. 

Galvatron and the Unicronians arrive on Earth. Shatter Prime alongside some of the Shatterbots and Decepticons join him. 

The rest of the Decepticons and Shatterbots join the Autobots and Shattercons. 

The fighting begins to become serious, with the two new battle lines drawn.

Final fight ensues. Galvatron faces off Megatron and SG!Megatron (He doesn’t change his name) while Optimus stands up against Alpha Magnus (SG! Ultra Magnus) and Shatter Prime. 

The good guys win and finally peace is realized. 

_______________________________________________________

SIDE PLOTS

The Scavengers and Nova Prime story plot [Scavengers come across the perfect preserved AND STILL ACTIVE body of Nova Prime].

Lugnut, Blitzwing, Lockdown, Soundblaster mercenary adventures.

The Astrotrain Scandal: Nitro Zeus deals with a cruel scientist.

Which bring us to the how of EXECUTING this how fan continuity. The way most probably would is make a comic outta it. WHICH WOULD BE COOL! But I've TRIED making a comic before, due to my lack of concentration to a singular project and my motivation being all over the walls at times and drained the next, I never finished it.

SO! I'll probably be making short stories, mini comics, memes, art, and just silly things to show of the universe. ANY questions at all, feel free to shot me one! OH, and the main cast (kinda, there will be more made in the future) bios are getting done! Almost done with the Autobots and then I can work on the Decepticons!

I think my favorite part is trying to make tattoos for the bots.

If you couldn't tell the Prime characters have way more detail and alot more lines on their tats while the more cartoon/comic versions have bigger chunks and less details because their body is more of bigger chunks than smaller pieces!

I take alot of inspo for the tattoos from Blackout Tattoos. I always found them to amazing works of art and I've been trying to use negative space to give the illusion of space and objects!

Some examples! Making it look like their armor. This also give me free range for their Outfits , while alot of ppl translate their bodies with clothes. I'd like to think their bodies go hand and hand. They ARE their armor. Clothes can be taken off but their skin is who they are. They can't take it off.

I also just suck at making outfits SO. Lol
