Jazz, handing Bumblebee and bottle of very expired milk: drink this. You have to drink this. I dare you to drink this!

Bumblebee: 👍

Optimus Prime, summoned by the power of Dad: NO NO, put it down, no!!

~~~

Hot Rod: What if I light this on fire?

Cliffjumper: I like fire!

Rachet, moving as fast as his gears will allow: Lighter, give it to me. Right now.

~~~

Hot Rod: Do you think someone can breathe if they're inside of a washing machine while it's on?

Optimus Prime: I don't know. Why?

Hot Rod: 😬

Optimus Prime: Where's Bumblebee?

Hot Rod: ummm.

Optimus Prime: Hot Rod, where is your brother?!

~~~

Rachet: What if I pour coffee into my cereal instead of milk?

Jazz, Prowl, and Optimus forcibly prying the coffee pot away from him: What if you didn't?

Midnight walk. Before the war Retroslide liked to take walks with her friend Hotrod. Can’t do that when Decepticons fire at you…

Can you do a Bayverse Hot Rod (in his holoform) headcannons of his reactions and what he thinks of his human female S/O liking, obsessed, and having so much stuff of Hello Kitty?

The idea of a cat with no mouth doing human activities is unique. He's always surprised by what humans can come up with and create. It's always something different and interesting.

Overall he doesn't mind at all. His S/O is allowed their interests. What they like and enjoy is not up to him.

He's glad they have something to love.

He does think some of the Hello Kitty items are cute. Whenever he stays over at their place he will hold a Hello Kitty plushie, enjoying the soft and squishiness of the toy.

He likes when his S/O wears a bow in her hair, he thinks they look pretty and adorable.

probably depends on the mech, Blurr’s mech probably doesn’t have huge tanks an is probably not particularly fuel efficient. He’s fast, and one of the best ways to be fast is not to have much weight, even an empty fuel tank requires more armor than a small one(seriously LOOK at how thin this mech is, he got boobs just so that Blurr can sit somewhere). His is also mainly made for scenes, filmed in such a way that refueling could happen off camera. There an’t much reason to have a fuel efficient mech that probably won’t get that far from a fuel line. Plus fuel costs are nothing compared to what there paying Blurr himself.

their is not any real reason for his mech to have more than a couple hours in it tops

Rodimus/hotrod as well as the other frontliner mechs probably have a a lot more gusto to them, we don’t particularly know how long battles go but it seems they also help with clean up afterwards aswell. Together these things have to take hours, of hard labor, and then depending on where and how they are deployed (they seem to be from hangers, do they run to the battlefield? Are there ships? Do they fly? They probably aren’t all in a centralized location, but how many different base do they got, they have to work with the whole world, but having a base ever couple hundred miles is simply not economic.) they also gotta get back to their base to refuel.

so they gotta have a tank for a day, a day and a half attire vary least.

Although they probably have much better fuel efficiency under low power/when they are fighting, maybe a week, if the pilots careful (and is navigating mostly flat terrain?)

(Specifically with Hotrod, the question is whether he had his ‘lighter fluid’ is it’s own thing or if it’s the same substance as the fuel for the mechs themselves, it does seem that it has it’s own fuel tank in the hand*. Does this add or subtract from his fuel efficiency/reserves?)

Jazz was purposefully modified for space. This most likely included extended fuel reserves, both for life support as well as the thrusters that would be required to mobilize in 0-g. The amount of modification depends on how long the mission was supposed to last. The mission seems to be action heavy so I would assume that there must be enough fuel for atleast a couple of days for him. Depending on intended duration

I should note that Jazz’s fuel might be different than the groundmechs, possibly more volatile, but more efficient. If we go with that we might get even more time out of that

(Basically it depends on your thoughts on his mission parameters, do they give him extra fuel for life support? how long was he ment to be up there? how much did they expect him to fight? For how long?)

Vortex

vortex is an older temperamental mech, I cannot see the execs particularly putting any money into upgrading him after he gains his ‘cursed’ status, he probably was a money drain, finding, training, equipping, pilots and then paying for the silence of their families must be a lot of money, and while he is extremely efficient in most situations it simply isn’t worth it, especially if he splats the pilot in the middle of the battlefield and they have to retrieve the suit.

so he probably doesn’t have the best systems, and the question of outside repair for minor thing is also in question, he might just do it internally in some form.

he is also MASSIVE he cannot be fuel efficiency, and he Must be flown out to wherever he’s needed, he cannot walk though populated areas, without killing people.

he also has one of the most exerting fighting styles of any mech or Cybertron we’ve seen yet

even with a huge tank (or more likely many smaller tanks) he probably doesn’t have that long in him maybe half a day when he’s topped up with the good stuff, and not doing anything to extreme.

on low power I cannot see him lasting more than a day or 2 without fuel

uh, anyway I have more thoughts but I think I’m leave it here for now

(the use of Energon crystals as an energy source, which would allow easy replacement on cybertron,

maybe if the quints are here for the energon they were only alerted to the existence of energon on earth because some companies got greedy and dug to deep. Leading to the quints coming, but all of the human herald it as a miracle that they found this incredible power source to power their weapons right before the quints attacked.

if so I would think that everyone’s power would go up , although most likely by different rates,

Blurr would most likely go up to a day or two, but as stated prior there is no actual reason for him mech to need any surplus of power

Hotrod/grounders would probably have excess, just so that they could be refueled less often, less downtime the better, maybe a week on power, month on low/no power

Jazz, probably more places than the typical grounder probably a month or more on height power(this is assuming they expect jazz to stay up in space and kick quinti ass for a while)

Vortex, a couple days max

)

Guys. Question

#tf mecha universe @keferon

How long do you think the mech in this universe can go without refueling? an hour? a day?

I know I can just make things up. But I wanna get some opinion.

just curious.

I love it when characters just

Made this back when the trend was big!

Ratchet: I'm Ratchet, this is my Conjux Optimus, and these are our parasites.

Optimus: I told you to stop calling them that!

Optimus: They're our children!

Bumblebee, Hotrod, and Cliffjumper: 💛❤️🧡

transformers AU stuff, theres a doodle page ill drop in a bit when i have more stuff done (I prefer to do big drops of a bunch of stuff instead of just posting each drawing/doodle separate)

but there is a finalized piece here thats my AU's nemesis "prime", he's cool, i totally didnt abandon three years worth of industrial design education to just rely on my TFA special interest for car art nooo totally yk i soooo used my education it was so for something i promise. (dont fucking do industrial design)

[coffee-starlight-1111]

silly random transformers redesign art of tha four!!! ^_^

I inspired blurr's redesign by his tfa style btw

& some single doodle here
