Meet Tänzerin! the final member of the Polypanz family, only this time only all grown up! Tanzy is the only daughter of my wavewave kiddo Polyphony and @pastelpaperplanes blitztron kiddo Panzer! 

Tänzerin’s name means dancer, and she moves as elegantly as one as well as loves to move around like the creepiest doll when she is in the mood to ever let her perfect pedes touch the ground. Despite not taking many features from her carrier, Panzer, it’s clear to see she inherited alot of traits from her grand creators from a candy pink/maroon frame much like that of her grandcreator Megatron, and stretchy limbs from her grandcreator’s Shockwave and Soundwave. But at least she got her sire Polyphony’s cute face as well as their general social demeanor with bots she doesn’t consider her family!

When Tanzy was a sparkling she looked much different than how she does as an adult. However, after spending one night with her grandcreator shockwave is when her creators noticed she started to look a lot different from her siblings as she seemed to develop features more like that of her grandcreator. Though surly it’s just a genetic coincidence, correct? After all their first born inherited his grandcreator’s long dormant altmode. Polyphony’s carrier couldn’t have possibly dared to alter any of their sparkling coding, not with how Polyphony reacted to the idea of their second child being tampered with. Though with how much Tanzy’s appearance has changed to look very gausin as she grew, despite being a flyer! Poly can’t help but wonder…and the older she got the more the thought sent a chill down their spine.

Tänzerin inherited the same powerful energy core that her big brother Nexobyte possesses, however it seemed due to her coding of being a fly the cores been changed to allow her to alter gravity around her instead of producing a powerful weapon system. Tänzerin ‘s anti-gravity core is so powerful that if she were to slam her frame against a surface gravity would be altered within a 500-foot radius of her frame either crushing bots caught in it under their own weight or sending them flying into the abyss of space. This ability even allows her to fly effortlessly and makes her a far faster flyer due to weighing practically nothing allowing her powerful engines she inherited from her grandcreator Blitzwing to run uninhibited and making her far more fuel efficient. 

Tänzerin has allowed her abilities to affect her frame so much that she has removed any parts she deemed no longer needed, including her own torso. her abilities also allow her to rip herself apart and put herself back together again like a horrific living doll and she has given a few of her cousin’s nightmares because of it. Though she will not confirm or deny if she frightened them on purpose, she seems to get a kick out of making bots inner wiring feel like its crawling in their own frames with how she speaks or moves.

However, when she is not purposely tormenting children and adults of the faction alike, she is a very musically oriented bot with a beautiful voice and graceful dancing. She spends most of her time as an entertainer for colonies singing songs and dancing for them. Occasionally she will write a fairly disturbing poem or two and read them to an audience looking to have a restless night’s recharge

She is also very much a carrier’s girl and as a sparkling she clung to him like a space barnacle and whenever Panzer is upset it makes Tanzy upset. How could someone make her dear sweet carrier sad? They are sure to be a bot who cleanup crews will find pieces of in the morning!  Tänzerin sounds like Ashley Serena!

Doodle Dump!

Have some angsty doodles related to the Polypan family! mostly featuring @pastelpaperplanes​ panoply and his carrier Polyphony. I was in the mood for some soft ANGST.

Ambushed:

- Polyphony was always a dutiful soldier and was very well trained but creator-hood and age had made them soft and made them rusty. They had little idea they would ever walk into an active missile field. The silence that choked out Poly’s transmission, even after barely managing to survive, haunts their acting commander (Nexobyte) to this day. Poly got lucky that the blast missed their sparkchamber.

Little Warrior:

- Panoply was such a small and frail thing as a sparkling. But Poly thought he was one of the toughest warrior’s they’d seen. Despite all the needles, all the health issues, all the tests, Panoply had so much fight as a sparkling. Even on days where the test may be too much for their sparkling Poly saw them fighting and growing stronger slowly but surely. Poly was never a gentle being, they never had to be, but they learned to be for their little warrior.

Bad Days:

- Panoply despite his fighting spirit would still have terrible days where there just was no fighting his illness. But everyday since his birth, good or bad, their carrier was there. Polyphony wasn’t raised to be very affectionate, being with Panzer made them more open to it over time. But Polyphony would never hesitate to show it to their young, especially Panoply. While they fought often because of Poly’s worries and Pano’s desire to push himself farther than he could, Polyphony and Pano are exceptionally close due to them being tethered together by the spark when confined to the medbay. So while Panoply was expecting to be scolded for pushing his frame too far to the point of bed ridding him for the day, he wasn’t surprised when his carrier left their post immediately to tend to him. No scolding for overtaxing himself, no I told you so’s, just tender words and gentle scritches to soothe their sickly sparkling.

[eve-of-halloween]

Just thought of poly moving their mask off their lips to give their bf kisses. No idea where it came from.

Nothing beats a first kiss

Poly was the first of the two to reveal their faceplates to the other and was the one to make the first move with a few things especially when it came to their "first kiss" which was Poly kissing Panzer's mask.

Kisses aren't really the primary way Poly and Panzer express their love for one another considering Poly was not raised to be extremely affectionate when it came to hugs or kisses and Panzer was very self-conscious of his own face. Skritches and gentle head bonks are their primary form of affection and love, though Panzer has definitely buttered Poly up enough that Poly doesn't protest against hugs or cuddling as much as they did at the start of it all.

though the first time Poly showed their face and kissed Panzer's mask was definitely an exciting bold move on their part! They are usually either very stoic or have a constant resting bitch face due to their short fuse.

Goodmorning everyone! I stayed up all night putting together voice claims for two more of my characters! For this video we have Polyphony and thier firstborn, Nexobyte (Who is also the son of @pastelpaperplanes megablitz kiddo Panzer) Polyphony’s Voiceclaim is Mothman from smite! And Nexobyte’s is Corpse Husband!

IDK WTF Panzer found so attractive about poly’s voice, i mean its totally gotta be their laugh idk about you guys. As for Nex, I cashed in all my simp cards with that boi Images below!

[eve-of-halloween]

Meet Peewee the teeniest tiniest con!

Peewee is the mini-con son of Nexobyte and Nanoburst and the grandson of @pastelpaperplanes megablitz kiddo Panzer and my wavewave kiddo Polyphony

Most bots would think Peewee got unlucky with the genetic lottery having inherited a mini-con frame type from his Sire Nanoburst’s family, but in his carrier Nexobyte’s eyes Peewee is seen as extremely lucky as he’d be allowed to live a more civilian lifestyle which is what Nex wishes he could have lived. Though despite Peewee’s tiny form he has a very big personality and seems to be a very opinionated new spark as he will make all manner of noises to show if he is content or dissatisfied with the world around him, from happy tiny beeps to angry buzzing as he quivers his tiny wings like a bee. due to how tiny he is it is mandatory that he is always held either in his sires arms or ever his carriers chassis so that he isnt accidentally crushed by other bots. Peewee has the extraordinary lucky that he can fit comfortably within his carrier spark chamber still and being so close to his carriers spark brings the sparkling unseen levels of comfort most others of his age would experience. so long as he’s close to Nex’s spark medics don’t have any issues with tests or needles and the sparkling is too relaxed to notice them.

[eve-of-halloween]

Whoops forgot to post this doodle. Brain empty only Polypanz has been living there.

Carriage was not an enjoyable experience for Polyphony especially with their first and second borns. While Panoplys carriage was scary towards the end when their splitting went wrong, Nexs was terrible damn near 80% of the time after the 3rd week, went up to 100% near the final 2 weeks.

Nexobyte was a dense sparkling. He weighed 5x the average sparkling for his frame class and was twice the size of a typical big rig sparkling. And while polys chamber was more than big enough to fit a sparkling that big, they werent built to carry one so damn heavy.

Nexs weight alone threw off Polyphony's center of balance to the point they would need to have Panzer hold them in the most awkward and uncomfortable looking position possible just to manually reset it so that poly could walk with out purging from the vertigo/dizziness. Walking in a strait line without a hand on a wall for balance was also an issue for Poly.

While they werent a fan of the idea of having a sparkling Poly did want to give Panzer a bitlet of their own and happily took up the role as a creator. But hindsight is 20/20 cause had poly known they would feel this miserable in the later stages they woulda tried their damness to ensure Panzer carried. (Seems primus had a cruel sense of humor cause Poly ended up carrying 2 more times)

During final weeks of carriage Poly damn near found themself wanting to strangle their sister-in-law, Vanity, for telling them carriage was a wonderful experience. They saw her as a lying harlot for how sickly they felt. Luckily they had Panzer to help comfort them as well as occasionally help alieve some of their discomfort by supporting polys back and chassis so their struts and gryo could get a break from the weight.

Though despite how miserable they felt or even looked Poly did enjoy the attention from their conjunx. They couldnt really show it at the time due to low energy, but they liked the nicknames Panzer game them when trying to comfort them. Though if anyone else but him called them that they would kill them.

Of all the nicknames Poly's favorite was Polypocket.

Though it lead to a few colorful names for Panzer, the ones that werent said out of anger/sickness and that stayed were Panny, Panzy, and Pancakes. Though poly only used Pancakes when they were alone cause they would DIE if anyone heard them say it.

Dancing in dim light

who says you cant see a sparkling's personality before you even see their face?

Felt like writing some fluff based on a head canon I had about sparkling’s featuring my shockblurr kiddo Override, my wavewave kiddo Polyphony and my friend @pastelpaperplanes megablitz kiddo Panzer as well as two of their sparkling’s, Nexobyte and Panoply.

story under the cut to prevent dash wall.

Dull.

That was the best way to explain how Polyphony’s day was going. Which one could say was an improvement over the previous few days with the occasional episodes of illness brought on by their second carriage.

At least this one didn’t make them as dizzy and off balanced as their first. Poly would happily and confidently say this carriage was a breeze compared to Nexobyte’s. But then again it was still very early into this carriage, this sparkling didn’t have much more than the most basic skeletal structures developed.

Shaking off the idea of this sparkling growing to the same size as their first, Polyphony returned to their habsuit a few cycles later than they had hoped, the bot taking over their post was late. again.

Poly looked around the habsuit to find in dark and quiet, Panzer was most likely still at his post and by the sounds of it, Nex was most likely in recharge, or so they thought as they noticed a familiar small smear of a dark void come trotting out from the shadows.

“Hiii!“ Nex tweeted in greeting at his carrier, “Welcome back!“

“Shouldn’t you be in recharge, sparklet?“ Polyphony sighed as their sparkling hugged their leg.

“Myes!“ Nex said back with a smile.

“Then why aren’t you?“

“Because Over fell asleep first so I was watchin’ ‘im. For practice“

With that Polyphony’s optics scanned their habsuit only to notice their older sibling in a heap at the table with what looked like a thermoblanket haphazardly tossed over only a quarter of his frame. Most likely Nex’s doing.

“I see.“ They said rather unamused, “Practicing for what exactly, sparklet?“

“For when Panmopolo is here! As the big brother Imma be in charge!“ he said straitening himself with pride. “I even gave Over a thermo to keep him warm see!“

“I do see. Also i’ve told you before it’s Panoply, Nex.” after taking a minute to pause and realize what was said they looked down at their sparkling with a raised brow, “Where in creation did you even get Panmopolo?“

“Its a lot of letters...I was close!“ he pouted a bit as his carrier bent down and lifted him with an audible groan.

“Seemed to have added some letters.“ Poly smirked as they carried Nex towards his room before setting him in his berth with another groan. “You are getting to heavy for me to carry.“

“Over can pick me up just fine. You’re bigger than him!“ Nex said loudly as poly tucked him in.

“And Override isn’t carrying a sparkling in his chassis, nor has he ever done so.“ Poly snarked back.

“...do you think sire will be back soon?“

“Most likely in a cycle or two. when you should be recharging“

“Awe I wanted to say hi.“ Nex frowned as he settled into his berth.

“You can say hi in the morning.“ Poly chuffed as they gently tucked Nex’s thermo around his frame and under him so he wouldn’t kick it off, once content they bent down and kissed Nex between his optics “Goodnight, my sparklet.“

“Goodnight!“ Nex chymed as he watched his carrier leave. Once they were gone he whispered to himself, “I ain’t recharging till I say hi.“

After Polyphony woke their older brother and sent him to sleep in his own habsuit it took another 3 cycles before Poly heard a very familiar set of heavy footsteps coming from the hall outside the habsuit. Poly smiled as the door slid open and their large conjunx entered.

“Evening pancake’s.“ Poly smiled from where they were lounged on the couch.

“Oh you are still awake, Polypocket?“ Panzer said with a tired smile, not that Poly could really tell, given his mask.

“Mhmm.“ They nodded as they were scooped up into Panzer’s arms. “I wanted to talk to you about something. Something Vanity told me.“

“And what’s that?“

“Well its something I want to try. She told me about it when I was carrying Nexobyte but I was way too dizzy all the time to want to try it.“

“Ohh? Try what?“ Panzer said with a curious tilt to his head as he sent Poly back down on the ground.

“I’ll show you. But first we have to be in the dark. She said it’s easier to do in the dark. I’ll get the lights you just sit.” Poly responded as they walked over to the control panel near the door.

“Ok~!“ Panzer replied as he set himself down with a heady thud as Poly shut the lights off.

After a moment Poly made their way over to Panzer with ease thanks to their ability to see in even pitch black darkness. Once Poly settled themself into a comfortable position they reached out and placed a servo on Panzers chassis.

“Open your spark chamber.“

“Oh here? What if Nex walks out? Wouldn’t you rather do this in our room?“ Panzer said as he felt Poly branch out their EM field

“Oh its fine! He’s seen both our sparks.“ Poly said with a dismissive wave as they opened their own chassis flooding the room with a dull red light, “Make sure you also branch out your field until it touches mine.“

“Ok but what are we doing?“ he asked as he opened his chassis with his more pink tone light filling the other half of the room.

“Its something Vanity says she does with Flug with all her carriages. She says you have to do it before the sparkling developed about a quarter way. But we have to be quiet, just wait and watch.”

Panzer couldn’t contain his excitement at seeing his sparkling seem to dance within the dull light between the two bots, “They can do that?!”

Panzer wasn’t certain what Poly was talking about but steadied himself despite the jitters Poly’s EM field caused. After several silent moments both bots watched as a tiny ball of light slowly floated from Poly’s sparkchamber and seemed to dance along their EM fields, never fully passing the line where the separate fields met.

“Vanity told me sparklings can dance on their creator’s EM fields if their sparks are close enough. Apparently it gives you an idea of their personality. A shy sparkling will stay closer to its carrier. But a brave one will go as far as it can.“ Poly smiled as they watched the ball of light continue to dance between them.

His shout of excitement startle Poly slightly and both watched as the ball of light retreated closer to Poly’s spark having been startled by the disturbance. Poly placed their digit to their derma in a shushing motion after both bots settled again slowly drifting back to where it was dancing along their EM fields.

“I didn’t know they could do that.“ Panzer smiled and did his best to restrain his excitement as to not spook the sparkling again. “it won’t hurt them?“

“So long as we stay fairly still and don’t break apart suddenly, no it wont. That’s why I didn’t want to try this with Nex cause I didn’t want a dizzy spell to pose any risk.“ Poly hummed as they gently slid their digits through their EM field causing it to warp slightly giving the sparkling what seemed like waves to roll across before setting their servos in Panzer’s.

They both sat quietly for what felt like cycles just enjoying the sight of their sparkling exploring the new space it had access to. After a few moments the sparkling seemed to grown bored with this space and retreated back withing Poly’s sparkchamber. once Poly was certain they were securely within the safety of their chamber Poly closed their chassis and retracted their field.

Panzer smiled and pulled Poly into a big hug, of which Poly wasn’t surprised and managed to settle themself into a comfortable position in his arms. “Pretty neat huh?” 

“It was wonderful to see how bold our sparkling seems to be.“ He hummed and placed his hand over Poly’s chassis, “I think they will be stubborn like you!“

“Way to spoil the mood“ Poly teased, before they frowned hearing a very familiar

“Ew cuddling!“

“I told you to recharge!“ Poly barked “And I refused!” Nex said throwing his arms up in triumph before running up and hugging his sire’s side. “Hi sire! welcome home!”

“Hello Nex.” Panzer smiled scooping the bitlet up into his other arm snuggling him against his chassis, “Did you have a good day?“

“Mhmm.” He nodded as he got comfortable ignoring his carrier’s side eye.

“Perhaps we should all recharge.“ Poly huffed and stood up to stretch their stiff struts.

“Especially you.“ Panzer said pointing at Nex.

“Ok fine.” Nex said with a bit of a defeated tone as he felt his sire stand up and carry him back into his room.

While Panzer tucked Nexobyte back in Poly made their way to their own berth and sprawled out lazily taking up most the berth as the late hours caught up to them. They only realized they had gone into recharge after they were woken up by Panzer scooping them up and snuggling them close as he settled into the berth.

“Don’t be greedy~!” Panzer chimed as he nuzzled Poly’s helm.

“I’ll take up as much of the berth as I want.” Poly sleepily frowned back as they laid their head comfortably on Panzers chassis.

“But then I can’t snuggle you if you take up all the space.” He said giving Poly a gentle headbutt.

“hmm...true...“ Poly murmured having already begun powering down again. “goodnight, love you.“ “Goodnight, I love you“ Panzer said as he got comfortable and began to power down himself, “ And I love you too, Panoply.“ He hummed tracing gentle circled against Poly’s chassis. It only took moments before the Habsuit was silent with all occupants in blissful recharge.

Who is this lil manz? Who him is?

Meet Nexobyte ! (or as his carrier calls him, Chunks) A sparkling I designed between @pastelpaperplanes Blitztron bab Panzer and my wavewave kiddo Polyphony!

he’s so round and good an I may do an older design for him later on if people would like!

[eve-of-halloween]

Hey guys sorry about the lack of content lately! Been crazy busy with work, commissions and art trades that i’ve had little time for anything else really. But i’m chugging along and took a small break to make a fullbody of my Polypan baby, Nexobyte! Nex is the first born sparkling of my oc Polyphony and @pastelpaperplanes​ oc Panzer! One could easily say this bot was born genetically gifted. Having inherited his Sire’s behemoth size, and absurdly durable armor, a frightening firepower, and the nerve/ability to use it in battle. Nex is considered to be one of the most fearsome decepticons to have been created. He is also considered very attractive thanks to his physical attributes and his attractive face.

However, do not let his kind face deceive you. Nex is a bot who has no issue in offlining another bot if the situation called for it. Bots learned very quickly that Nex will make it violently clear who is and isnt allowed in his personal bubble. And the bot who was moron enough to test his boundaries should consider themself lucky he only flattened their chassis under his pede and didn’t fully offline him. They knew full well that they only survived because Nex didn’t want it to kill them, and if he had, the outcome would have been very different. This bot’s firepower is nothing to shrug at. Thanks to inheriting a rail gun altmode from his carriers lineage, but the powerfull firepower linage from his sire’s, the damage that Nex can do is downright horrifying. Nex can have himself perched on the surface of a planet and with one shot could blast an orbiting ship out of alignment and plummeting to the surface below. His powerful canons even melted a tunnel straight through a mountain, which conveniently was converted into an underground passageway for Decepticons to travel undetected. Nex was also born with an incredibly dense armor that seemed to have been constructed to withstand the heat and force of his massive canons. Nex used to be the kind of sparkling his sire insisted they put a bell on, as when he was first learning to walk the little void darted out infront of his sire and got stepped on. Miraculously enough the sparkling was completely unharmed even though his sire had stomped him. Nex was more upset that he was pinned under Pan’s pede for a few second. But it soon hid in a dark cubby and dart under sire’s legs became his favorite game, much to his sire’s constant anxiety over possibly hurting him. Not only was his armor durable it is extremely heat resistant due to formatting itself to handle his own canons blasts. Nex has been able to dip himself in magma/lava or even smelted down metals and be able to come out unharmed. However he is only able to submerge himself for a short time and doesn’t know how long he could be submerged before the constant heat damages him. His parent’s never let him test it out as they weren’t comfortable with the possibility he’d melt himself alive. Needless to say Megatron and Shockwave are more than pleased with Nex’s birth. Shockwave definitely plays favorites and tries to fluff up Nex’s ego and nearly the entire faction see Nex as Megatron’s truest heir and how his existence is an honor and justice to lord Megatron’s name. This sort of talk makes Nex very uncomfortable as while yes he is a good soldier and is a powerhouse, hes not a leader. Nex doesn’t like the idea of having other bots lives in his hands and how he’d be responsible for if they would live or die. The pressure to meet his factions expectations and live up to bring honor to his grandcreator’s legacy, is sometimes too much for Nex and he feels like he could break under the weight of it. He just wish his people would see just how brilliant his siblings are and how much more suited they would be than he is. In Nex’s eyes he is a simple soldier doing what he needs to for his family, he was made to follow not to lead.

Nexobyte, despite everything other try and make him believe has a huge soft spot for his family. Especially his creators and siblings. He loves them so much and hates how others talk about them. When Nex hears how bots call his sire a disappointment, or that his siblings came out faulty and wrong it infuriates him. He see’s just how amazing his family is in their own unique ways and just wishes others could see it. He is also absolutely terrified of his cousin Mouse. But don’t let her know that or he’d never see the end of it. Nex’s altmode is based very loosely on a tank fused with my personal interpretation of a rail gun (I will draw his altmode at a later date) Nex himself however would sound like Biohacker Chernobog!

[eve-of-halloween]

So as promised have Override’s younger sibling, Polyphony! Polyphony earned their name due to their distorted voice box sounding like a fem and male mech speaking at the same time.

They are a very mean and bitey sparkling, and making eye contact with them sends them into a rage. Override is kinda scared of them, any sign of weakness or fear and they will go for the attack.

[eve-of-halloween]

any word on full grown polyphony? will they be closer to soundwave's original squat build or tall and lanky like shockwave

They are fucking snatched mang!

They stand as tall as Shockwave and turn into a giant canon. (They installed speakers cause fuck stealth they wanna blast music as they shoot you)

[eve-of-halloween]

hey kinda curious... What would human Override and Poly look like?

And then Poly wore it anyway.

Poly please your big brother just wants to treat his family to a nice dinner at a nice restaurant all he asked was that you dress nicely!

@pastelpaperplanes​ IDK what Pan finds so attractive about Poly, they are a walking disaster. Their fashion statement doesn't match the music they blast from their car and at this point, people are too afraid to approach.

But that jacket on point tho!

(Mask off version)

[eve-of-halloween]

So is this Poly. submitted by  @dragon-fruit-draws​

100% Correct. they are a feral bastard but tbh at their age they are too cute to take seriously

[eve-of-halloween]

Dhavdjavxj ax bci THE BABY BOY!!!

Ahh the angst of the lad (man if only yall could see the little story bit me and Pastel played with holy shit)

But I fucking love Pano and his stubborn asshoke streak! And the poor baby having to be stuck in isolatave care with Poly of all bots.

Poly and Pano are always gonna fight over training. Its like a self fulfilled prophecy that they will butt heads.

Also Nex fucking adores his little brother but that boy tests even his patience every day.

*lightly taps* this bad boy can fit so much angst in him

“No need to worry, I will personally make sure that our mecha’s morale is destroyed.”

Meet Panoply!

He is the son of my OC Panzer and @eve-of-halloween ‘s Polyphony

Panoply is not a pleasant mech to say the least, he’s rather extremely sour and blunt and quick to anger. He believes that he is constantly surrounded by idiots and is pompous, loud-mouthed idiots and is quick to get in the face of other bots if he feels remotely underestimated. While no, he would definitely not make the best leader, let alone foot soldier, he just so happens to be an extremely skilled with long-range firearms. Pano is often found in the range more often than not blowing off steam rather than taking to the battlefield, if he had it his way though, that would be the exact opposite.

Pano had an extremely rough start to life. Born with a near stuffed spark, he suffers with chronic frame fatigue and lives with a high risk of spark failure if his frame is simply pushed too hard. The first crucial years of his life were spent almost entirely in the medbay. To alleviate some of the stress on his sickly frame, all heavy weaponry and bulky kibble was removed leaving him looking rather scrawny.Seeing that there’s no way he’d be able to survive on the battlefield, let alone escape enemies without collapsing, his non functional alt mode is more of an embarrassment to his already unintimidating stature. 

His exposed and vulnerable protoform is the price he has to pay in order to lessen the risk of himself overtaxing his frame and overheating, as well as give easy frame access to medics on the numerous frightening close calls he’s given both his Creators.

Though he is base bound and will likely never get the clearance to get out on the field, Panoply insisted on getting the best combat training possible. Practice is one of the few things on his schedule that he won’t budge out of, save for an emergency. Panoply’s biggest weakness however is his pride, since he refuses to acknowledge when he ultimately hit his breaking point during his unnecessarily lengthy training drills.

As an extremely proud Decepticon eager to serve his cause, as well as also being part of an extremely impressive and proud bloodline, you can imagine his frustration and shame over the fact that no one will spar with Pano out of fear of breaking him, or worse.

Panoply inherited his Carrier’s stand-offish nature. His health is just about the most touchy subject they argue about so often. While he’s not a fighter, he’ll certainly raise hell if given the right push. Pano is stubborn and proud, in his mind he believes that if he simply works hard enough, he’ll build up the strength to get out in the field. Poly however is purely worried. Their son doesn’t seem to have his helm wrapped around the fact that he simply will not and cannot get better, and his self destructive and sneaky habits of training without supervision could possibly kill him.

However the two gradually reached a compromise after millennia of uphill battles and arguments. Poly showed Pano that even the greatest soldiers can crumble easily without even him having to lift a single digit, it turns out psychological warfare and calculated manipulation can do far more damage than any blow ever could.

Pano is touch repulsed, but at the same time very touch starved. A lifetime of having both medics and strangers hover over him, poking, prodding, constantly asking if he’s okay, and casting pitiful glances his way has left him extremely resilient to accept any form of physical contact out of knowing that it’s probably just another mecha out to coddle him. At the same time, there’s nothing more that he wants than to just be held close by another in simple silence, seeing past his fragile state and holding him out of love rather than ginger care.

He’s not to be mistaken as a softie though. Pano is quick to slash and swipe if feeling remotely tested, the only bot who he will not bare his claws to is his behemoth of a brother, Nexobyte, who get’s a free hug pass any time the big idiot needs it. They’re close, but Pano’s denial about his health and spats with his Carrier definitely does cause some tension in their relationship. Poor Nex and Pano couldn’t spend much of their sparklinghoods together since even simple germs Nex could pass on to poor Pano could leave him berth ridden for weeks. But as full grown mechs though, they’ve more than made up for lost time with late night stories about funny mission fails or marathoning whatever stupid Earth show Nex begs Pano to watch with him.

While Pano may sometimes feel unworthy of the Decepticon badge, he’s working to become the best of the best in his own way through the guidance of his Creator’s and the support of his brother!

His altmode would’ve been a Ripsaw EV2 and his voiceclaim is Victor Van Dort

What we ended off the stream with tonight.

A CLASSIC meme with our favorite trio of shocker spawns.

Also had to put poly in rouge’s outfit cause the idea was too funny to me
