#tf recharge and rebound

[benadrylcandlewhack]

Can't use my drawing tablet for a bit and I'm bored so here's my first batch of designs for my fan continuity, Transformers: Recharge and Rebound :)

I ain't really got much to say on these so far, just that they'll have full refs soon

(Also if you guys wanna ask questions about my fan continuity, my ask box is always open and I'm down to infodump)

[tf-rechargeandrebound]

Ok I redesigned them for the last goddamn time

TFR Autobot designs ^^ (I'm sorry if the colours look fucked up idk how to fix exporting stuff)

Character profiles beneath the cut

Optimus Prime

Allegiance: Autobot

Alt mode: Freightliner semi truck

Occupation: Autobot commander, current Prime

Likes: Cybertronian history, reading, Earth’s general vibe, long drives, peace and quiet

Dislikes: His position as Prime (he’s not very vocal about it though), snakes, icy roads, large social functions, taking breaks from all that gosh darn paperwork

Once a humble dock worker named Orion Pax, Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobot Resistance, and is being counted on to save his home from the Decepticons. Any Autobot would describe him as wise, kind, stoic, somewhat stern, and a great leader who can sometimes get grumpy when stressed or tired. His most trusted officers and family, such as Elita-1, know that he’s also rather socially awkward and a bit of a bookworm. He cares deeply for every single Autobot under his command, and has grown to care for Earth as well. He generally dislikes needlessly reckless behaviour from those around him, as he can’t bear to see even more lives lost to the war. He often doubts himself, his role as Prime, and his actions, even if they were right. At the end of the day, Optimus wants nothing more than to live a quiet life with his loved ones.

Elita-1

Allegiance: Autobot

Alt mode: F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet

Occupation: Autobot commander

Likes: Astronomy, meteorology, flying, Earth rain, stargazing

Dislikes: Megatron (everyone hates him but she hates him on a very personal level), confined spaces, caves, snowstorms

Before she was Elita-1, she was Ariel, and before she was Ariel, she was a miner designated AR-1. After escaping the mines when she was young, she was taken in by an old dock boss named Kup who offered her a job at the docks, where she met a young mech named Orion Pax. Elita and Optimus Prime are both co-commanders and conjunx enduras. She’s much more of a social jokester than he is, and is extremely popular amongst the troops. She’s cunning, loyal, intelligent, and a fierce warrior who always stands up for what’s right and puts others before herself, all while being someone who’s willing to lend an ear to anyone who needs to vent. She’s truly the definition of an Autobot.

Bumblebee

Allegiance: Autobot

Alt mode: 2017 Volkswagen Beetle

Occupation: Special Operations scout

Likes: Earth pop culture (especially video games and 80s music), open roads, making friends, adventure, summertime, stories about pre-war Cybertron, carwashes

Dislikes: Being teased for his height, sharp objects, confinement, failing a task or mission

Bumblebee is one of the youngest and most promising soldiers in the Resistance. Raised by Optimus and Elita, he chose to join the fight against the Decepticons once he came of age, a decision that they respect but don’t fully approve of. His oddly small stature makes him ideal for espionage-based missions, and he’s nearly mastered using his size to his advantage while in direct combat. Bee is an extremely upbeat and friendly bot, and while he may be small, he has a big spark that cares deeply for everyone around him. He often recklessly puts himself in danger to protect others, which usually gets him injured, but the injuries are worth it, in his opinion. Overall, Bumblebee is a dependable, determined, and brave Autobot, just like his caretakers.

Wheeljack

Allegiance: Autobot

Alt mode: 2015 Chevrolet Silverado

Occupation: Autobot Science Division, Chief Engineer

Likes: Science, inventing, researching, stunt driving (he doesn’t do it much anymore, though), lab work, reading scientific reports, explaining things he’s invented or fixed, explosions

Dislikes: Listening to his body when it tells him to take breaks, not knowing about a subject, distractions from his work, long fights

Wheeljack is one of Cybertron’s greatest scientific minds. He’s a brilliant, eccentric engineer and a good-natured bot who others like to be around. He can easily become engrossed in his work, and has little regard for his own personal safety, as he frequently patches himself up and regularly visits the medbay after his daily experiment blows up in his face. He often looks out for the youngsters around him, and ends up fostering a strong paternal affection towards his human ally Sadie. While he’s not on the front lines as much as he once was, he’s still quite a capable fighter and a force to be reckoned with.

Ratchet

Allegiance: Autobot

Alt mode: MXP-170 ambulance

Occupation: Chief Medical Officer

Likes: Peace and quiet, napping, organizing his equipment, Engex, bossing people around

Dislikes: People or bots who annoy him, his equipment being disorganized, comments about his age (unless he makes them), hotshot young bots (except for Bee), busy cities

One of Iacon’s best and most dedicated medical professionals, Ratchet is an elderly, cranky old medic who’s constantly trying to keep his fellow Autobots out of trouble. He’s no stranger to wartime, as he's a veteran of the Quintesson War that took place before the majority of his comrades were even protoformed. Having raised both Optimus and Wheeljack, they’re two of the only bots who know that, despite his prickly exterior, Ratchet is actually quite a softie deep down. Still, Ratchet has a nasty temper, and he often doesn’t work well with others, preferring to do things “his way”. When the situation is dire enough, however, he’ll accept help from those around him. Occasionally, he’ll be relaxed enough to lightheartedly joke around with those he’s closest with, but overall he’s a tough, no-nonsense, hard working old bot.

TFR DESIGN POSTING: THE BIG BOSSES!!!

Optimus Prime and Elita-1 are many things. Co-commanders, conjunx enduras, the very proud caretakers of Bumblebee, and forces to be reckoned with. Having met as co-workers at the docks of Iacon, when they were known as Orion Pax and AR-1/Ariel, the last place they saw themselves ending up was leading the Autobot Resistance, but those are the cards they've been dealt and they'll do their best to play them.

Optimus is the youngest bot to have ever been made Prime, and did so without any complete training, during the Fall of Crystal City led by Megatron and his followers, which is the incident that sparked the Autobot-Decepticon war. Optimus has come into his own as a natural leader. Underneath his stoic exterior is a kind, selfless, somewhat awkward bot who wants nothing more than to protect his fellow Autobots and ensure that they live peaceful lives, even if he loses that possibility for himself.

Elita is a former miner, who was initially tricked by the upper-class Megatron into joining the Decepticons by lying about his intentions of abolishing mining practices all over Cybertron. Out of fear of what he would do to her if she tried to leave, she stayed with the 'Cons as his terrifying second-in-command for the first half of the war, until she finally escaped and reunited with her long lost friend and love, Optimus. She's much more bold and headstrong than her partner, and balances out his social ineptitude by being more of an open jokester. Above all, she strives to make up for her past mistakes and hopes to end the war that she helped to start.

Although the Autobots all crashed on Earth in the year 1899 and were scattered all across North America, Optimus and Elita actually shared an escape pod and did not emerge from stasis until the 1970s, finding themselves near the island of Montréal in Québec, Canada, where they picked up many strange human concepts such as the French language. Unbeknownst to them, this was the hometown of their future human comrade, Sadie Monroe, the girl who would aid in reuniting their scattered team and ultimately proving to be one of their greatest allies.

Mmmmmmmmmm send asks about Elita pleeeeease, look how great she is, she's always on my mind

[benadrylcandlewhack]

If anyone's interested I got some TFR Optimus truck-isms

- He honks when startled or surprised

- His engine rumbles when he's angry

- His engine also rumbles when he's relaxed and happy, and it's softer than the angry rumbles (purring if you will)

- His smokestacks start puffing when he's angry or flustered

And as suggested by @lishadra

[benadrylcandlewhack]

assign your sillies to an opal color

Optimus - OP50

Elita - OP23

Bee - OP26

Wheeljack - OP21

Ratchet - OP45

Sadie - OP03

[benadrylcandlewhack]

Ok first TFR&R update, I've made the executive decision to hit half of the original 13 primes with the girlification beam

Prima, Megatronus, Onyx, Nexus, and Micronus

I diagnose you all with woman <3

[benadrylcandlewhack]

More Oplita stuff (except now it's sad)

I still do enjoy writing I prommy

[benadrylcandlewhack]

One thing I can say about TFR&R without begging for asks first is that Elita and Optimus are completely inseparable. They're never apart unless they choose to be and there's not a single force in the universe that would stop them from reuniting

[benadrylcandlewhack]

How did Optimus and Elita's relationship start?

They met when Ariel started working at the docks, and quickly became friends, which later became mutual romantic feelings for each other. Though they didn't confess anything until after the war started

[benadrylcandlewhack]

sighs....... I redesigned Bee again

[benadrylcandlewhack]

Should've kept her out of it, Jackie

[benadrylcandlewhack]

The TF One brain virus got to me so here's some pre-war AU stuff!!!

This concept hit me like a truck and I've been obsessed with it and I just reeeeeaaaallllyyyyy wanted to share it

I think my first official robot designs that I'll post will be Optimus and Elita, but for now take them as bbys <3

[benadrylcandlewhack]
