Earth 101: A Manual for the Visiting Cybertronian

Chapter Two : Earth Weather

Earth, with its vast biomes and diverse terrains, has a variety of weather patterns that can change drastically from day to day, and have particular seasons with which they are often divided.

This has also been the cause of …particular issues for the newcomer Cybertronian, as the climate can have adverse effects on our biomechanics.

As a gentle reminder, please be sure to thank your medic when leaving the med bay after repairs.A bottle or two of high-grade Energon also goes a long way.

Divided into the Northern and Southern hemispheres, Earth cycles through 4 seasons, each with their own type of weather.

The four seasons by which the planet goes through, as labeled as:

Spring : Temperate to warm weather, usually brings the thawing of winter and replenishing of flora and fauna alike.

Summer: The warmest of the seasons, the planting of crops and their growth occurs here, as well as many an activity in the sun

Fall or Autumn: Harvest season, known to be the beginning of a cooling in the weather and when most flora experience a change in color to prepare for the next season.

Winter: The coldest of the seasons, this season is also known as the ‘holiday season’ due to many Earth holidays occurring during the jours, or rather, Terran months it overlaps.

These seasons last roughly 3 months each, but due to changes in the Earth’s ozone layer in a phenomenon known as ‘global warming’, which has caused quite severe changes to the climate of Earth in some places.

Primus help them, we can only hope this does not continue with our presence here.

The Northern hemisphere is known to host generally colder climates, whilst the Southern hemisphere hosts warmer climates.

The planet’s equator is the centralized area of its warmest zone.

This said, interestingly enough, when it is summer in one hemisphere, it is often winter in the other, in a rather fascinating exchange!

They oppose each other, meaning that through the 3 months it is the opposite season in the other region.

The equator tends to average around the same weather all of the orbital cycle, known as a year, around the 

Truly intriguing, the various weather patterns of Earth.

Earth is known to have various forms of weather, ranging from sunny days, cloudy, foggy, rainy or even snow.

That said, Earth weather can also be quite dangerous.

Storms such as hurricanes, tsunamis, tropical storms, and blizzards can devastate entire sections of Earth, and even wipe entire cities off the map.

We have witnessed some of these devastating incidents. 

We only hope that humans can find peace after these tragedies.

With each type of weather of course, come certain rules and warnings about potential hazards that could occur.

For example, not even the greatest of the Autobots is immune to the icy roads of the northernmost parts of the world, as our beloved Prime informed us after he spun out due to a particularly vicious patch of black ice amidst a snow storm.

Luckily no harm was done, as he crashed into the snow on the roadside. All that was harmed was perhaps his dignity when he informed us about the incident in a kind reminder to not repeat his actions, so as to avoid harm to ourselves and to others on the road.

Ever so watchful is he.

The same cannot be said for …others within our ranks however. 

Incidents with wild weather reported for documentation within this field guide are as follows:

A scientist studying the weather patterns of Earth amidst a particularly wild storm learned what the function of the aptly named lightning rod was. By becoming one involuntarily. Thankfully, said patient now seeks shelter when such storms come to pass.

One of our scouts learned the hard way that driving through fog can be a disorienting and frightening experience. It is not for the faint of Spark. Proceed with caution

Hailstorms. Spheres of ice sometimes the size of Scraplets that falls from the skies. It is as terrifying as it sounds.

One too many Autobot and Con alike have tried to become what is known on Earth as 'storm chasers'. Medical Officer Ratchet implores that the next to attempt such, will only learn from being swirled within a tornado and that the damage from such an event is very tedious to repair.

Please do not attempt to drive through flooded areas after heavy rains. Your engine will become full of water and proceed to stall. It is not worth splashing each other to have this happen.

High winds can push even the largest of us off the road. And we do mean this literally. 

We advise parking indoors when choosing to remain in vehicle mode or keeping your heating on when in cold weather. Your vehicle mode can in fact be encased in ice entirely if not careful. It is as annoying and freezing as it sounds.

For those who are flight inclined, be they Decepticon, Autobot or neutral, be aware of snow, rain, lightning, hail, and more, as they can blind the pilot if particularly severe. Even the well known Starscream has been known to crash land due to hail and sleet causing less than optimal flying conditions.

Heatwaves [No we do not mean the Sigma-17 leader, Heatwave] can be cause for our biomechs to overheat and falter, requiring significant cooling, as there have in fact been cases of engines catching on fire or outright shutting down from the intense heat.

Beware of blizzards, as we do not wish anyone to freeze within the piles of snow known to loosen in this.

Earthquakes can cause catastrophic chains of events to occur. Please be aware that aftershocks may occur afterwards.

The rescue team known as Sigma-17 has told us of a good many weather incidents like those mentioned within this chapter. Their testimony was vital for this chapter, and we thank them for their duty in rescue operations of all manner.

Please be sure to contact an official, medic or rescue service in the event of an emergency or accident, no matter the severity.

This concludes our initial overview of Earth Weather and Climates. Direct appropriate queries to the proper channels for more information.

Tfp and Rescue Bots Ratchet have some of the sluttiest and most breedable hips change my mind.

oh my GOD rba ratchet doesn’t get talked about enough

Life of Rescue Bots Family Charts:

With fun facts, resumes and more

The biggest chart, mostly from Boulder and Heatwave’s side

Reference to Life of Rescue Bots Shenanigans Part 21 *

Reference to Life of Rescue Bots Shenanigans Part 22 **

Everything started at a Spark Spot, where, surprisingly for some, this time contained a spark too big, and had to be separated in four

Soundwave was shy, tiny, introvert and weak, they were made by accident with color-blindness, which made their optics have that purple-pink color. At first they were adopted to be a apprentice of Mac, a communication operator, and thanks to his constant abuse*, Soundwave grow up to be cold and selfish, later becoming, thanks to their cleverness, member of Iacon's council. During Megatron's ascent on power, Soundwave found valuable his rage and decided to join him, also, falling in love with the decepticon leader

Shockwave was at first lovely and vibrant, and that was the reason despite Core's negligence*, he grow up as a kind and smart senator, using his power for his favorite hobbie, science, and to help others, also, to make sure others would feel safe on the Cybertron he wanted to create, nonetheless, after being accused by the rest of the senate he suffered an Empurata, becoming the cold and clever decepticon scientist he was known to be

Lightwave was at first funny and smiley, but the life of a cityspeaker made her a really needy extrovert, when things on Cybertron became too much to handle, she decided to go away of the planet and became an errant, there were a lot like her and was easy to adapt, but when she found her siblings names on a vetted list on all Transformers planets, she started to search for them, it seems all Cybertronians were accused by the other planets of treason and terrorism and preferred to evade them at all coast, exiling all Cybertronian from their own culture

Heatwave, compared with his siblings, is the nicest but also the toughest, he has been always like this, he's not the smartest or the funniest but is the most responsible and careful, compared to his siblings, he actually was cared and loved* but his tutor had a lot of secrets which Heatwave wasn't aware of. After losing him, he became Rescue bot and later he got on stasis by accident. Like his three siblings, he had tentacles, but lost them, and for a while, the ghost limb syndrome gave him bad nights, and still does, to have his siblings near using them with normality changes his a bit his processor flow

Megatron, as know, was the decepticon leader, strong, big, malicious, but despite all of that, to meet Soundwave bleeding and hurt, holding two sparklings with all their strength was one of the things that made him continue his extravagant career and decided to take care of them with all his efforts, proposing to Soundwave and taking those sparklings as his, but life has other plans, and when the war became too hard to sustain and he wanted to change things, Soundwave passed a whole year on the shadow zone, and his twins, not believing Meg wanted to do something, left him to find a way to take Soundwave out of the shadow zone, not knowing it was Megatron itself who asked Raf for it, and living with the burden of being refused by his own family. Rumble still has faith on her family to be complete again, but Frenzy doesn´t, both are really smart, lovely and strong sparklings like their tutors, but separation can hurt too

Sissi and Hotshot, as the members of the gen who are more alike to the Waves, are strong and brave, they have a lot of Heatwave, despite the fact Sissi wasn´t created with his spark, she is a good apprentice and loves what she does, Hotshot maybe does it because he has to, but his friends and the funny time he passes with everyone is enough for him to just deal with everything with no problem (well, except when Heatwave´s mad)

Predaking, Darksteel and Skylinx are too tiny for this world, they came to be weapons created by Shockwave, who wanted to bring back to life a lost species, the Predacons, but due to some... interference related with their political uncle, they were brought to the exterior when they were still sparklings, even tinier than a sparkling, like babies, they were too delicate but ferocious, thanks to it, Shockwave accidentally created a way to make sparks based on others, because he used part of his spark and some others to created them, not hoping they would actually get consciousness**

The family is big from the sides, the only two Bulkhead can still consider family are Boulder and Miko

Bulkhead is strong and though because he had too, things at his childhood weren´t funny and had to live with the constant fear of being used, treated like garbage, and fearing for his life constantly* Bulkhead has to became tough to exist properly, to feel useful and to be seen as important, which changed a lot his perfection of reality and still does

Boulder, compared, is a kind and lovely Spark, they´re the half of the spark who was able to grow on a environment enough safe to grow old as a kind individual, despite all the problems where they got when they were still young with their twin spark, now both are maybe better than ever, or that´s what Boulder thinks

Breakdown and Wheeljack are here only because, legally, they are Bulkhead´s siblings, raised under the same environment but both ended up different, Breakdown was so upset and tired of the constant violence they had to deal that he grow old as a "necessary violent type", later getting to accomplished to this that started to use violence for everything he does; Wheeljack can be a donkey sometimes but genuinely loves his people, lost faith on Break when he became a decepticon but open minded to accept him again, Jackie was always the lazy personality, of the bad ideas and shitty thoughts that always managed to get everyone in problems, a personality that hided how much he actually cared about everything, for a lot of time, his own processor tormented him with his own mistakes, so, he decided to ignore everything to keep it calm, believing if he could ignore it or slow down his pedes, everything would be easier

Salvage and Soil, compared with Sissi and Hotshot, are the most alike to Boulder, so, they´re Bulkhead´s favorites, both are calm and serene, but Salvage is enough mature to understand lots of things and just prefers to sit down and enjoy the view or fix something, Soil doesn´t have another but to sit and wait if he wants to see what´s Salvage´s doing, is more a mechanism to deal with everyday rather than a real something

Ultra Magnus is just here because of Jackie, but Bulkhead doesn´t like him a lot, not since he decided to propose to Jackie, for some reason, Bulkhead´s spark had been flooded with this feeling, like, if he´s not important for Jackie anymore and that he needs to constantly search for his attention

Miko was who made Bulk figure out that feeling was jealousy, Miko is like a little sister or daughter for Bulk, despite all her trouble, he feels funny and needed when he passes time with her, she´s so spontaneous and vibrant, even on the bad moments, she manages to make a solution and get out of it with effort, someone who Bulk constantly tries to care even when she doesn´t need it, but lets him because he needs the feeling

Most of Chase’s original familiars are dead, the only family that he still has is the family he made on the way, I forgot to add Charlie to the chart, but as fun fact, Chase likes Charlie as a father

Chase, even if his family loved him a lot, is unfortunately a child of exigent people, the way of his tutors to show him love was making him better and stronger, but their methods for it was similar to negligence* thing that he wants to change with all his spark, he more than anyone knows what is to feel useless, the last thing he wants to do is to make someone feel like that, and Chief helped him a lot with it

Knock Out maybe wasn't the best bot on Cybertron, Velocitron or Earth, nonetheless he isn't the worst either, he's really good adapting on any kind of environment, but the only thing that won't adapt with time is how much he cares about his frame, there's not an specific reason for it, but at the end of the day, the only thing that stays is his beauty, a polished red frame maybe doesn't fulfil him but to look pretty is one his methods to evade questions about feelings, and actually works a lot! He discovered that to look pretty is one of the best ways to tell the rest "I'm fine" with no words, it worked when he lost his tutors* and when he broke up with Blades, also when Breakdown almost die, when Starscream started to treat him like garbage, when Megatron got into drugs...

Blurr at first was intense and rebel, she still is, but at least she behaves. Blurr on Velocitron was once a racer but she wasn't the best, and when things got spicy for the war, she and his friend, Salvage, go away as fast as possible, losing the entire war and adopted by this logical but careful bot who treats her like she really belongs and is worthy. Blurr didn't felt like it a lot of time, but she likes to be treated like she matters. Breakdown is cool, sure, big guy is the best fighter she ever saw and likes to play, Knock Out always gives her advice for a brilliant frame and makes her feel pretty, and Chase is the best teacher she ever had, and also the best tutor she could recieve

Whirl, Quickcall and Wildbreak are the tiny ones, while Whirl is the old sister who keeps them array when their dads are not there, Wildbreak and Quickcall are mostly the two menaces who just wanna have fun, mostly from Quickcall, who, compared to Wildbreak, has too much of Breakdown's spark and has the worst plans on Earth, and Wildbreak, as his good follower, does what Quick needs, and things were like that until Quickcall accidentally sent Wildbreak on a "mission" and he later was caught by a villain and later fell on a time machine.

Like Chase, most of Blades' family is dead, and aside from his family on Griffin Rock, Bumblebee is the only Spark-family he still has

Blades is anxious and nervous by nature, he was raised with a overprotective tutor who only wanted the good for him but also made him scared of the world* he is comfy and smiley, and sometimes, thanks to Dani, has to behave and do his job wirh bravery. Compared with the rest of his team, he didn't had an alt-mode back on Cybertron, that's why it was so easy for him to scan a new one when the team crashed on Griffin Rock. He's like a little brother for his friends and also a big sibling for the cadets, and also an auntie for the youngest, despite his insecurities, he always manages to keep his head high, specially for his team

Bumblebee maybe doesn't act like Blades, but that's not right, like him, Bee is really insecure, and the war memories always go around his processor every moment they can, Bee is kind and hopeful by choice but life always makes its way to fuck him up, that includes Blades' trust, because many times Bee dissapeared to Primus knows where and makes Blades worry too much. He thinks Blades worries a lot, because he's not fully accomplished for someone to worry for him in such a way, he loves to feel someone cares for him, but he hates that worry actually hurts Blades, and sometimes he forgets he has to tell the rest where he is

Optimus, Elita and Ratchet are not the best parents but they sure love Bee a lot, nonetheless, they can't say the same about Blades, the first time they heard about him, Bee was so panicked for something else he didn't talk properly, basically, they missunderstood the situation and thought it was Blades' fault, believing Blades wasn't a good person at all and didn't understood why Bee would be with someone like that. Later they found Blades is actually more a scaredy-cat than Bee.

But don't take it wrong, that doesn't mean they weren't worried and surprised when Blades proposed Bee just after, what, seeing each other for 5 years and not even meeting properly? Ratchet was a beast that day and Elita had to take his audial to keep him in track while calming Optimus from crying, she didn't even had the moment to process it properly until Charlie took them for a walk (drive?)

The Burnses chart... wait, who are they?

Oh! Yes! Jack Burns, the older brother of the Burnses Triplet, he was an agent, a soldier, later retiring but dedicating to communitary service and voluntary, he had a wife, rest in peace, a kid who is now following his steps but is always travelling and his little brothers, Charlie and Woodrow also made their lives, he still remember those days as if it was yesterday, including that bot crash and that young girl who kept him safe, he also remembers her nqme was also his brother's name, Charlie

And she? Beatrix, of course! She was Charlie's wife, but they divorced and later she became reporter on Mainland and travels a lot, she goes to visit the kids time to time, what a surprise when she found out her ex-husband and kids works with aliens, and what a better surprise when she found out her ex'husband's brother almost killed one of them! But they're now friends

Also, Kade still has problems with her, he is still not happy that she just went away and made like if she forgot them, cruel times it were

Hearts and Sparks Ship Week Day 2: " On the road / Trouble " 🔫🩹

Prompt list here

[phoenixisobsessed]

Earthspark Nightshade and Jawbreaker meeting other transformers with animal/beast alt modes 🙏

I hope this is what you meant AHSBHA I tbh just used this to draw my faves from beast wars (Except for Terrorsaur because I wanted to pick the ones probably least likely to murder the Terrans on sight). Also idk if adding Tarantulas was cheating because they already met him, but he IS my fave character in both Earthspark and BW. Grimlock is also one of my faves but I decided having 1 character already in Earthspark (other than the Terrans) was enough.

Cheetor is probably just happy that this Tarantulas isn’t torturing him this time around. Dinobot is in the back questioning why they aren’t doing combat training ??? Decided to add Slash (TF:RBA) too because I thought having some more small dinos would be fun. And Waspinator has been blown up (as always) by the smart trainer.

I’m not shading allat sorry chat BUT I enjoyed drawing my faves HEHEHE (BW is peak and everybody should watch it.)

[turbofox-zines]

The long wait is finally over

The Rescue Bots Zine has been released!

[nova--spark]

Can’t help but picture that (sparkling) Shockwave gets super attached to Blades for no reason at all and when Blades is like ��aww it likes me 😀” Heatwave recognizes him and politely informs Blades that that one is a mad scientist who would experiment on live bots and has an enormous kill count. And Blades is desperately resisting the urge to drop the little dude since he’s holding him as Heatwave says this, and tiny shockwave just looks up at him innocently.

I am WHEEZING IMAGINING THE RESCUES BABYSITTING NOW

JUST THE CASUAL

"oh FUCK that's a war criminal--ah he needs uppies''

is genius.

They're traumatized but in the 'children are monsters' way

[asmoteeth]

Take this animation-practice-turned-animatic about an au I posted about ONCE

In case I'm a sucker at visual storytelling:

This is an au where Hotshot resigned himself to become a Cube star player after leaving the team in year one! Six years later (aprox I have no idea) he's living the high life along with Scorch's team! Or so it seems until he starts to realize Cube champion is not that satisfying of a career path, and thinks back to his time at the Rescue Bot Academy, to where it's too late to go back to! (Fun fact: there's a replacement for Hotshot back on earth too, so they moved on, yeah--) (also the part where Wedge appears is meant to be a tiny vision of the picture talking to him, that's why Hotshot is so freaked out)

Some frames that go on too fast to actually watch:

Transformers Art Dump!

Over the last 2 months or so, I binge watched all of the live action movies and the aligned continuity shows! Here’s what I’ve made while watching

[mysticfoxdesigns]

A little WIP update of my rescue recruit redesigns

Mixing Armada into Hotshot has been so much, also the minicon on his shoulder is Jolt, who showed up in Armada as his powerlinx partner.

Yes hoist is still not even blocked out I am having some art block on his design

I also have holoform designs in progress! Both training outfits and casual outfits. I see them to be late teens, so like 16-17 y/o. Wedge is actually the youngest due to how I am doing the lore. Hotshot, Medix, and Wedge all were killed during the war and reemerged due to spark bonds they shared with alive bots. Whirl and Wedge were forged during the war. Hotshot, Medix, and Wedge were all apart of the war, Medix with the Protectobots, Hotshot being a commander and ex scout for Optimus Prime, and Wedge being in the energon mines upon one of the planets the Deceptions had claimed.
