Inferno's Rookies: QuickStrike and Tagger

There so cute, it's a good thing they have an older, somewhat-responsible bot making sure they stay out of any REAL danger. >:)

the two recruits I mentioned in Inferno's post

Random Tidbits:

QuickStrike:

Jumpy & hyperaware of his surroundings

slightly paranoid, my

tendency to think outloud has led to a bad a muttering habit

was assigned to Inferno because he has experience with working with nervous bots

itchy trigger finger

earned his designation/name after unintentionally starting a brawl when one of his barrack buddies bumped into him

went to the same boot camp as Moonracer, but the two have lost touch over the years

signed up for search and rescue under Rodimus' recommendation, as he would be able to think of any potential spot any bot might have ended up waiting for help (trying to turn his weakness into a strength)

greatly admires Inferno and enjoys his job but wishes Tagger would quick messing with him

weapons: bolo cannon, spear & net

Tagger:

grumpy workaholic

didn't want to work in search and rescue and is still bitter about her reassignment

she'd wanted to be an elite guard but was expelled from the Academy, for her temper (more specifically, she assaulted a professor when a debate got too heated)

she had been training under Novastar before she took her new position on Elita's squadron

she was transferred to Inferno, seeing as he was friends with NS and had only one recruit in training at the time

overcharged spark

symptoms: processor migraines, overreactive EMF field, t-cog jamming, yellowed optics

like most with O!Sparks, her body wasn't able to build a proper outlet for the excess energy before fully developing

takes specially filtered energon to minimize her symptoms

from ports in her palms she's able to place trackers on any metallic surface

the target can be tracked anywhere so long as they are on the same planet from the gps on her wrists

likes to mess with Quickstrike's head

weapons: laser knuckleduster, retractable blades in her heel and toe

she loves getting into brawls more than her mentor does, not that her line of work allows much for that

TFA AU Idea - Little Spider Shop Of Horrors Part 2

It was noon the next day on the planet Cybertron. In the Predocon’s base of operations, they were getting their energon rations for the day. Inferno had taken his cube cup back to his quarters to consume it, and Antagony ate hers then and there. The only rations left now were for Blackarachnia and Waspinator. The latter had just gotten back from his daily massacre, and had been waiting until the Ant twins had finished their turn so he could go up. Once the coast seemed to be clear, he snuck over to the metal table his cup had been placed. However, just as he was about to pick it up, a familiar seductive voice called out “Now now, look what we have here.”. The green cyborg quickly turned around, and was met with the image of Blackarachnia leaning against the doorframe, calmly smiling at him.

The buzzbot buzzed furiously, asking what the spiderbot wanted. Blackarachnia, unfazed by this, simply tells the green hornet that she had been thinking about what happened on Dinobot Island, and had thought “why don’t we just let bygones be bygones?”. Waspinator, in a low hiss, asks why he should. Not only did she pretend to be his “friend” just to use him as a lab rat, but mutated him into something she herself would call a freak. To this, Blackarachnia responds with “Oh come on sweetspark, that was cycles ago. I’ve clearly matured since then.”. However, all she gets from the buzzbot is the latter rolling his eyes. At this point, the spiderbot is really starting to get annoyed. Until she thought of an idea. With a sigh, she walked up to the buzzbot, put a servo on his frame, and softly whispered “Besides, I think I’m starting to like this Itsy Bitsy little body of mine. The past has passed. Forgive, forget. What do you say?”. Waspinator is of course skeptical of this, but decides to reluctantly go along with it, mainly just to humor himself. Unbeknownst to him, however, Blackarachnia contemplates that she could just kill him by stabbing him with her stingers and all she’d have to do is “Do it Now”, but decides that she won’t. And with that, the two pick up their energon cups, and toast to a hopefully better future.

As he drank, Waspinator began to notice that his drink seemed to taste off for regular energon, and asked the spiderbot what she put in his rations. Blackarachnia, in an uncharacteristically bubbly voice, responded with “Oh, you noticed! It's a little something I added. It was uh… Let's see, was it? Um… Oh that's right, I remember now! I added A Lethal Dose Of CyberVenom To It!”.

Waspinator drops the cube from his grasp upon realizing that he had been poisoned, and attempts to spit out the contents of the beverage. But it was too late, as he then began to have a hard time breathing. With a sip of her cube, Blackarachnia asks the suffocating Vespindae if he really thought she would just forgive and forget what he did to her, or think that she would just accept her ”repulsive, pulsating excuse of a body”. Waspinator, whose face has begun to swell up, crawls over to her legs, begging her to help him and that he would never mess with her work again. But he was given no response, just a cold glare and a swift kick to the face, sending him into the table behind him. Waspinator’s body quickly began to spasm uncontrollably, his buzzing intensifying and still calling out for help. All the while, Blackarachnia just stood there and watched, with an unsympathetic look on her face. Eventually, the buzzbot finally went down, vomiting energon and convulsing on the floor. The spiderbot leaned in to take a closer look at the twitching body of the Predacon. When suddenly and without warning, Waspinator jumped up, wrapped his servos around her waist and asked her “Are you dumb? Or hard of hearing? Or relieved, my end is nearing? Are you satisfied? I've buzzed myself to…” but he stopped as the lights in his optics suddenly went off . Finally, his body fell back to the ground and his skin turned gray. The eeriest thing about it was that the leaking and twitching face had just spoken with the voice of a bot who had just realized that the femme in front of them wasn’t helping not to put him in his place, but because she genuinely wanted him to die. Blackarachnia, completely unfazed by what’s just transpired, finishes up her cube, and as if an insult, finishes the dead Predacon’s sentence by staring at his corpse and darkly utters the word “Death.”.

Audrey II didn’t seem to notice when Blackarachnia dragged the now dead Waspinator into the lab. It seemed to have been working intensely on something very important. It wasn't until the spiderbot brought the body over to the plant that it finally stopped what it was doing and turned to face her. It was at that point that Blackarachnia had noticed that the plant had been using her tools, resources and equipment both without her knowledge or consent. However, before she could get the chance to sic 'em, she stopped when she saw what it had been working on. For some reason, it looked remarkably similar. Upon closer inspection, she was able to identify the object in question. It was a Genetic Modifier (A creation she had sought after during her quest to purge herself of her organic form while on Earth). The fact that the plant was building something like this with just a couple of vines put the spiderbot in shock. After a few seconds, Blackarachnia snaps out of her daze, and asks the plant just how it was able to create something like this. Audrey II just says that he learned a thing or two during its time with “Mr. Black” to understand how to make “one of these babies” and that it had been working on it for a few days now. The plant then explains that the device has been coded with Cybertronian DNA (Which it got from one of Waspinator’s murdered victims), and that all she’d have to do is plug it into herself for her to turn back into her “pure and beautiful form”. Blackarachnia, while a little skeptical, is almost completely overjoyed by the events that have transpired. However, Audrey II reminds her of the deal they made the day before, and then asks to be fed, to which the spiderbot happily obliged by showing it the body of Waspinator. The plant just tilted its head towards the carcass with its lips forming into an unhappy expression (Much to Blackarachnia’s confusion). This confusion quickly turned to anger, believing that it was disgusted at the idea of eating a techno-organic. That was until the plant let out one of the most unexpected things she had ever heard in her entire life.

“Chop it up.”

She didn’t know what to say, let alone know what to do. She knew the body would be too big for it to fit in its mouth, but she never expected the plant to be straight forward. Suddenly, Blackarachnia was snapped out of her train of thought by Audrey II's demand of “FEED ME!”. And with no other options, was forced to do exactly what it wanted.

Taking the sharpest tools she could find, Blackarachnia traveled to empty upper levels of the facility (Dragging the dead Vespid along with her). By the time she got there, a thunderstorm had begun to brew. Upon readying the body for dismemberment, however, the spiderbot came across a problem. None of her tools or equipment were designed for removing limbs. Fortunately for her, the spiderbot thought of an idea of how to get the job done. In an instant, she transformed into her “Archa Seven Spider Mode” and began to tear into the body with vicious intensity. First the legs, then the arms, next the waist, then the abdomen, and finally the helm. As soon as she was done, Blackarachnia put the remains into a large trash bin and brought it back to the lab.

She dropped the bucket of body parts in front of Audrey II, saying that she did what she wanted and to give her the modifier now. And while the plant tried to explain to her that it isn’t quite finished yet, Blackarachnia just grabs the device from its vines and plugs it into her chest (But not before darkly saying “Oh and Twoey, if this doesn’t work, that’ll be the last meal you ever have.”) Suddenly, she began to feel strange, almost as if she was in a trance. Upon realizing something was wrong, Blackarachnia was furious, Believing that the plant had secretly drugged her. However, before she could even attack it, her helm went fuzzy as she forgot what she was about to do. The plant let out a cackle and said “Told you it wasn’t finished. Now don’t just stand there, FEED ME!”. Now almost completely open minded, Blackarachnia put her servos into the cylinder container and began to feed the plant.

The sounds of both metal and flesh ripping and tearing could be heard all throughout the lab as Audrey II wasted no time in chewing the severed right leg of Waspinator, loving the sweet taste of energon as it swallowed the piece of techno-organic flesh. Blackarachnia hissed in drowsy disgust as sluggishly she pulled an arm out of the bin and tossed it at the hungry plant. 4 chomps later, the servo finally slid down into its mouth. She wanted to stop then and there, but she just couldn’t. The plant’s feeding became more violent as it ate one of the wings while tearing it off the body. Eventually, Blackarachnia finally reached into the bin and pulled out Waspinator’s decapitated helm. Just then, the lab was illuminated by a blinding lightning flash, replacing the buzzbot’s helm with her own past Autobot self (Only this time with a cracked, gray face and dead, soulless optics). She dropped the severed helm in horror as she began to realize that the entire laboratory was flooding with water (It's at this point that hallucinations had begun to kick in). Turning up to face Audrey II, Blackarachnia was hit by a geyser of water coming from the plant (Which was now laughing maniacally). The spiderbot was sent flying backwards into the water behind her, only to find herself underwater with floor land on. And before she could even try to swim out of there, Blackarachnia was immediately caught and sucked into a whirlpool which led to the mouth of a giant Audrey II head, eating her alive.

The next thing Blackarachnia knew, she found herself waking up in a small, dark grayish green room with a minor headache. Upon further inspection, She notices that she’s in a berth, with her being hooked up to a vital monitor. Slowly the realization came to her, she was in the Cybertron Central Infirmary. The monitor next to her began to beep faster and faster as cold terror went through her veins. She knew exactly what this meant for her, and it was something she would not allow to happen. Without even trying, Blackarachnia jumped off the berth and onto the floor. A part of her was somewhat confused when she turned back and saw that there were no restraints attached to the berth, but none of that mattered to her. She ran to the door’s panel in an attempt to find a way to open it. However, while fiddling with the controls, she noticed that both her arms and servos looked different. Instead of having a sort of freshy texture, they had more of a metallic appearance. With this in mind, Blackarachnia began looking at herself from helm to foot. Her current body seemed to resemble more of her pure cybertronian body rather than her techno-organic one.. In addition, she realized that instead of having teal skin with yellow and black armor, her body was white, pink and rouge. However, the weirdest discovery she made was when she looked down her back and saw the one thing that remained from her techno-organic form; “her abdomen. With this revelation, a sense of dread went down her spine. If her abdomen still existed, what did that say about her face? Locating the most reflective material, Blackarachnia grabbed it and stared into it. What she saw left her stunned.

What she saw… was a familiar looking femme staring right back at her. She looked identical to her in terms of appearance. However, what caught her eye the most was the face. It was… beautiful, possibly more beautiful than she was in her prime. The face had white skin, two bright blue eyes and white, fangless teeth. In addition, the femme’s helmet was a bright pink with a short ponytail attached to the back of it. It took her a moment to realize that the femme she was looking at… was her. She put a servo on her face as for once in her life, she was speechless. The plant had actually done it, it had (Somewhat) cured her.

Suddenly, the room’s door slid open as someone walked in. Blackarachnia turned around and was met with the sight of a white, red and orange femme standing at the entrance with a data pad in one hand and an access card in another. The former techno-organic was able to recognize the bot as “Minerva”, a veteran of the Great War. The medic then asks her if she’s alright, to which Blackarachnia tells her that she is, and asks her how she got there. Minerva explains that she was brought in after being found unconscious in a popular area in Iacon almost 2 Megacycles ago. She then asked her what her name was. Blackarachnia just stood there and thought about it. Should she tell her her name? Should she make up one? On the one hand, it was possible that Optimus and Sentinel reported about her mutation and recruitment into the Decepticon ranks. But on the other hand, it’s possible that no one would believe either of them. Optimus had been permanently disgraced after the incident on Archa Seven for all she knew, and Sentinel was… well Sentinel. No sane bot would ever believe someone like him, even if they were “organaphobic”. Besides, she could probably make up a plausible story to get herself out of the situation. With a decision finally made up, she decided to answer the medic’s question.

“Elita One…, my name is Elita One.”

Minerva didn’t seem to flinch upon getting her name. She must have not known of her existence. She just put it on the data pad and left the room as Blackarach- no, Elita laid herself back onto the berth. She had done it. She had gotten the thing she’s wanted for over 1050 stellar cycles. But the question remained.

“Now what?”

[paradimeart]

I remember you saying/drawing something about Silverbolt in this continuity, but do you have any thoughts on which other Predacons potentially enter the mix, and their dynamic thereafter?

so my version of tfa silverbolt is actually part of project aerialbot, but is meant to be more like bw silverbolt than g1, and is also female (and has a crush on blackarachnia). but still turns into a plane. and would form superion w the jettwins and metalhawk and ssssomeone else (airazor in my mind lol but thats me) I know a concept for an ep was blackarachnia making a technorganic clone of optimus mixed with a gorilla, but im not overly fond of that just for what I have her doing. and i think primal deserves better . When i picture her w predacons I actually really only imagine the bug ones like, inferno and antagony (and waspinator ofc). im not going for "beast wars but tfa" i just want to incorporate elements/references into blackarachnia's storyline. i can see her doing more experiments like she did on wasp on other bots i just dooont know how she'd get hold of any since she's stuck on earth/the moon tfa doesn't have a convenient supply of transformers on earth like other series theres like 9 robots there at a time.. i can also see her experimenting directly on earth animals using like nanomachines and making them technorganic that way, kiiind of calling back to the metal eating cockroach monster in the first episode? its all rough and vague and I mostly just come up with this stuff to draw characters in different designs, if anyone has any ideas i'd love to hear !

[byregot]

Antagony is my lesbian aunt

[cuddlingdragons]

I saw Inferno (BW) and Antagony’s designs for TFA and oh my gosh... I love them!! They’re really fucking appealing monster designs. I’m so sad we never got to see Antagony animated.

TFA Trial and Error bits

So I was reading TFA Trial and Error and I just need to post my favorite parts of it okay sjdfgjsdf

Spoilers for the comic, obviously

First we have Ratchet lookin confused as fuck

“I don’t know how to fix this bitch.”

I hate this, why is he plotting like that, sto p

It’s true.

Bumblebee using his Autobot insignia as a flashlight is the best thing I ever done saw

Inferno

And his brother Antagony

I relate to Ratchet so hard also look at this little pout

..... I hate him. I really hate him the most.

“May I be excused for the rest of my life?”

Someone help this chil d

Lugnut that’s gay af sjdhfgjshdfgjsd

I don’t know WHAT is happening here, but I love it sdjhfgsdjf

Same with this, someone help Starscream, I love them

Fucking idiot, he’s just been watching TV like an old grandpa while Cyclonus is sneakin around

“A Decepticon? In MY Omega Supreme???????” It’s more likely than u think, u old hack.

“Ultra Magnus, yeeeeeee!!” and someone fix Magnus’ mouth, dear go d 

Anyway that’s all jdhsfgsjhdfds

[theangrycomet-art]

TFA: Inferno, the firetruck that totally has nothing bad happen to him. ^u^

Probably....

say hi to antagony everybody

Random Notes:

Great War Vet (search & rescue, partnered with Red Alert and Novastar)

the only bot rumored to have made the medic full out laugh

despite his status as a noncombatant, he managed to regularly get into “scuffles” when retrieving soldiers from behind enemy lines

forged from the same protoform mold as OP, though he is slightly taller. (Inferno had a servo extension to better equip his S&R and Fire Fighting equipment in his Alt Mode)

Status Report: MIA. Last recorded activity was Inferno reporting receiving a distress beacon during a training mission with two new recruits, Tagger and QuickStrike. Despite being sent back to Cybertron while the senior bot investigated, reports indicate they disobeyed orders and followed him anyways. All three bot’s whereabouts are unknown and their signatures have yet to be detected in any known quadrants.

he needs an accent color to contrast the oranges but I love this design over all

COMMISSIONS OPEN

Rough Sketches and Ramblings Below

I gotta figure out how to draw the more monstrous bots/predacons

I'm gonna be honest, I prefer G1 Inferno over BeastWars Inferno overall, so I'm probably not gonna go with it-

But there is a large pile of enticing angst with predacon!Inferno path with how everyone’s relationship dynamics play out in my head.

Eh- I'll figure out a way to have my cake and eat it too.

TFA AU Idea - Little Spider Shop Of Horrors Part 1

Now this idea may sound a little out there, so hear me out.

On the 23rd day

of the month of May,

in an early year of a decade

not too far after our own,

the cybertronian race suddenly

encountered a deadly threat

to its very existence.

And this terrifying enemy

surfaced, as such enemies

often do, in the seemingly

most innocent and unlikely

of places…

So the story takes place on Cybertron in a rundown and poverty stricken neighborhood of Iacon (A “Skid Row” if you will), Where Blackarachnia (Who had traveled back to Cybertron according to the Complete AllSpark Almanac) is busy trying to raise an army for her new Predacon faction, as well as trying to find a cure for her organic half (Let’s just say that she isn’t having any luck with either of them).

However, in her freetime from all that, she’s been attempting to nurture a strange looking plant that she had found when she had taken ownership of Meltdown’s lab (She’s mainly doing this believing that it could help her return to her original form, and to just pass the time). Her analysis showed that it was related to a carnivorous plant called the “Venus Flytrap”. According to Meltdown’s audio logs that she had uncovered when she took control of his lab, the rogue scientist first discovered the plant (Which was a 4 foot baby plant) in the open jungles of Dinobot Island, all after the Solar Eclipse of that year had taken place. They also revealed that he had named the plant “Audrey II”, naming it after a crush he had back in middle school. This same plant was also one of the rare things that survived the Transwarp explosion (Resulting in it also being transported to the strange jungle that she and Waspinator ended up in). Unfortunately for her, she wasn’t having the best of luck bringing it back to health. That is until Blackarachnia injured her finger during an experiment where she discovered that the plant craves energon (More specifically, energon from cybertronians). With no other options, she began feeding it a few drops. This causes the plant to grow overnight.

The next few days after that were pretty much the same. With Blackarachnia feeding the plant a few days, and having Inferno and Antagony “donate” a few drops on other days (The two not minding at all, just happy to serve “the queen”). As it got bigger, the plant also seemed to develop some kind of sentience, becoming somewhat of an assistant to Blackarachnia, seemingly knowing what tools and equipment she needed at the moment, and was even able to help her create a virus that turned both robot and organics into techno-organics (Which both surprised and intrigued the spiderbot). In addition to those, the plant also seemed to love to listen to music, bobbing its pod up, down, left and right whenever it heard it (Something Blackarachnia found almost adorable). During that time, she had heard of the news that Her old friend “Optimus Prime” and his crew had successfully been able to defeat the Decepticon leader “Megatron” and bring him back to Cybertron along with his subordinates. She didn’t want to admit it, but a part of her was sort of proud of him (Though she was absolutely furious at the prospect of Sentinel Prime becoming the new “Magnus” while Ultra Magnus was in the hospital after being attacked by Shockwave). Waspinator (Who had only stayed with Blackarachnia due to him having nowhere else to go), however, refused to help out with anything due to him still being pissed about her using him as a lab rat, he didn’t give the plant a drop of energon, got into a few fights with her and her loyalists, and even occasionally sabotaged some of Backarachnia’s experiments behind her back out of spite. And when he wasn’t partaking in infighting, sabotage, or just being an all around jerk, he’d often sneak out and travel to a populated area nearby to take part in what he called “Relaxing” in order calm down.When in reality, this was a period when he went out kill everything that moved on sight (Which Blackarachnia was highly against). He never left anyone alive during his little rampages, and in the rare instances that it happened, brought one of the bodies of his victims back to the base to tear up later. Needless to say, the two weren’t on the best of terms.

It was now the 3rd day of the next week later, and Blackarachnia was now getting sick of this daily routine. The entire day, she refused to give the plant (Which was now 4-5 feet tall in terms of Cybertronian height) any more energon, ordering the Ant Twins to do the same. It wasn't until the evening when the plant seemed to wither from no food. Obviously frustrated, Blackarachnia tells the plantae that she’s through having to hurt herself, and her comrades (Minus Waspinator) in order to feed an organic creature. But before she’s able to say she had better things to do, the plant seemed to move its mouth, and made a sound (Which catches Blackarachnia completely off guard). It made the same sound again. This time, she can distinctly make out the words “feed me”. It let out one more “Feed Me!”, before going silent. Blackarachnia couldn’t believe what had just transpired. It had just talked to her.

Suddenly, the plant jumps back to life, demanding to be fed there and then. Blackarachnia refused to do so, saying that her wounds hadn’t even healed. She then asked why it couldn’t just drink regular energon. To which the plant explains that it must be from Cybertronians, and it must be fresh (Much to Blackarachnia’s disgust). When she asks why she should feed him, the plant (Which I'm calling Audrey II from now on) tells her that it can make it “worth your while”, and asks her if she thinks the fact that the helpful hands it gave her, or the creation of the techno-organic virus were all a coincidence. Unimpressed, Blackarachnia asks how an “inanimate object” like Audrey II would know what was and wasn’t a coincidence. Offended, the plant pulls her over to it using its vines, and tells her “Does this look inanimate to you, punk? If I can talk, and I can move, who's to say I can't do anything I want?”. When Blackarachnia asks for an example, Audrey II gives her one like seeing her get everything her “itsy, bitsy spark” desires and that it’s her genie, friend and willing slave all rolled into one.

The plant then says to the spider bot “You didn't have nothin' Till you met me. Come on doll, what will it be? Money? Boys? One particular goal. How about you being part Swishy?! Think it over. There must be someone you can 86 Real quiet like And get me some lunch!” (Context: This version of Blackarachnia doesn’t know what the term “86” means). Audrey II tells her to think about all the luxuries she’s wanted in life (I unfortunately couldn’t think of any, just pretend like the plant is giving examples). Blackarachnia laments that that’s exactly what she wants, but can’t since her people would see her as a freak. With this in mind, Audrey II tells her to look around, and that a lot of bots deserve to die, which alerts Blackarachnia (Not because she’s developed a moral compass or anything, but because she’s trying to build her army without causing a ruckus). The plant argues that she knows a lot of bad bots that wouldn’t be missed, mentioning Optimus and Sentinel as examples. Though Blackarachnia explains that while she go after them in a heartbeat, both of them are on the the “Cybertronian food chain” (More specifically, Sentinel, who is currently the “Magnus” of Cybertron). With this in mind, Audrey II decides to try someone smaller, saying Waspinator for example.

Blackarachnia is confused by this suggestion, as she never saw the buzzbot as someone who needed to be taken care of. However, the plant disagrees, asking her if she was aware that he had been sabotaging her experiments and work? Blackarachnia scoffs at the question, believing that Waspinator would be incapable of such accusations. Realizing that it needed more proof, Audrey II suggests that she look at her secret security cameras (That not even Waspinator nor she knew about) to see for herself. She does so, and sees many examples of Foul play (Examples being him damaging equipment, contaminating raw organic material, and even destroying a potential cure that Blackarachnia had created using very rare chemicals and materials (One of which came from Audrey II). To say that spider bot was pissed at the revelation that the green apocritan had ruined possibly her only chance to be normal again would be an understatement. She was absolutely livid. And with boiling energon, laments that the buzzbot’s got more than enough, with Audrey II giving one last word of encouragement “So Go Git It!”.

To Be Continued…

If you haven’t figured it out yet, this story is in fact sort of a crossover with “Little Shop Of Horrors' '. except instead of being about a boy who finds a plant that is secretly planning world domination, it's about a giant cyborg spider who finds a plant that is secretly planning world domination.

Hope you enjoyed reading.

traditional bust of Antagony!

this was experimental and fun! tried to really do black shading on this one

mmmmmight sell this? idk

[kidknux]

You HAVE to tell us more about your tf au. I'm begging you

I’d love to talk about the au! It’s also @captainofthestars​‘s au, so don’t forget that you can ask him questions too! We’re each handling about half the characters; some of the ones he’s in charge of are Blurr, Metroplex, Spike Witwicky, and Perceptor. We both love getting questions!

In the meantime, I guess have some scattered trivia??

We have a list of the main ‘teams’ to keep track of what characters go where. Some of the main ones on earth are Team Optimus (Optimus, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Prowl, Bulkhead, and Omega Supreme) the Rod Squad (Hot Rod, Wheeljack, Rung, Whirl, Arcee, Tailgate, and Byte) and the Rescue Bots (Heatwave, Chase, Boulder, Blades, and Wreck-Gar) plus their various human friends and (eventually) cybertronian visitors. One other team is... unique, and we still have to figure out how they line up together.

Minicons here are a little more common than in TFA, but nowhere near as common as, say, the trilogy. They’re loosely defined as any bot who falls within human size, so around seven-eight feet tall or smaller. Swerve, who’s right at eight feet tall, and Prowl, who manages to hit nine with heels, both barely escape the label on a technicality. Since there’s such a big range of sizes, though, we’ve been thinking about having a lot of different size classes. We’ll have to think on it more before we can get you guys anything solid, though.

Sentinel Prime is Here and surprisingly, having both of his conjunx die and one of them going down with Megatron and ending the war has maybe made him like..... a tiny bit less of a jerk than normal, just slightly. He handled Optimus’s death a lot differently. More on him when we manage to design him, though.

Black Arachnia is in space as Strika’s main scientist, but Strika trusts her like... not at all. Blitzwing also hates her, after she turned him into a triple changer. Her voice and a lot of character beats have been borrowed from GLaDOS to add to her TFA characterization, and she has a cute little lab assistant named Antagony.

Wheeljack and Perceptor are long-time conjunx, and one of them might be amica with Skyfire. Jetfire and Jetstorm have been under their care since they were sparklings. Things might have gone downhill after Wheeljack was pulled away to go into the war effort, and then declared dead. Those five will probably be able to expand on that later in their bios, especially Percy’s.

One part of Cybertronian anatomy is an energon converter, roughly named. it might be able to be considered roughly analogous to like... a stomach before the more obvious fuel tank stomach. It converts edible energon and other fuels like gasoline into a more uniform state that cycles through the body. One quirk of it is that it converts different colors of energon for different bots; blue and pink are the most common, but other colors like yellow or green are seen a lot too. The color is generally reflected by optic color, but that color can change if someone decided to get tinted optics rather than clear ones.

Longarm assigned Punch to spy on the Decepticons as Counterpunch before the war ended. He’s been in deep cover long enough that it’s dangerous, but there’s still no word from Longarm for when he should return.

There are a few different mutations that can happen to protoforms. One of them is obviously outlier abilities, powers that a Cybertronian manifest that go outside of their initial design or intentionally made upgrades. Bumblebee’s stingers don’t count, Ratchet’s EMP generator doesn’t count, but Hot Rod’s overheating ability counts. Flight frames and aquatic altmodes are both considered mutations, and generally result in bots who are much larger than usual after several significant growth spurts late in development; immobile altmodes are another one, but generally result in smaller bots. One mutation resulted in a deformed t-cog that occasionally caused problems during transformations; through experimentation on Blitzwing, Black Arachnia discovered that bots with that mutation could become triple-changers with just minor adjustments.

Byte is the smallest character we have, at an inch tall. Windup and the Cassettes are the closest to that, at around six inches tall.

Cybertron used to circle a star, allegedly, but it doesn’t anymore. The two moons, at least, continue to circle the planet. To imitate the old day and night, the core of Cybertron is illuminated on a schedule, dimming for one solar cycle and returning to full brightness for the next solar cycle. It’s generally expected for citizens to follow the imposed schedule, but it’s debatable if they actually do.

Swerve and Blurr are friends. Like, actually for real friends. Really.
