#tfa road rage

[kevinexe06]

Properly Introducing my Transformers OCs!!

I have mentioned I have TF ocs but never showed them besides doodles and I'm here to change that lmao.

FIRST OFF!! Spartan Striker :D

Striker was a Autobot in the beginning of the war, however he was captured during battle by Megatron's commander and forced into the Decepticon ranks until he finally escaped. He was suppose to work for the Autobots, implied by the title "agent" given by Optimus however, he never lived up to it.

Road Rage

Roadrage, always looking for fun and surprisingly a life with no oppression. He has seen and been through enough to understand what's wrong and right.

He's been all over the place, having been a Gladiator to Decepticon then to Autobot (Wrecker) before going rogue where he remains.

He is a destructive force to be reckoned with but is surprisingly friendly. Just stay a few meters away while he's driving.

In the Transformers Earthspark, Prime, RID2015, Animated Universe No TFA ref yet </3 also this is my OC, not the canon one

Ting Tank

Ting Tank in the Transformers Earthspark universe was born like the rest of the Terrans. However in Animated, he was born by a AllSpark fragment. In other universe he may not exist at all (Prime and RID2015 (In RID, he is born but isn't actively apart of plot or show. Basically he exists off screen)).

Due his brain module not being fully developed yet, he isn't capable of speech or transformation. Though he can rest in his alt mode (which is a Mini P-15 Mustang.) He can't actively fly due his body requiring more energy because how fast it burns up. His mind is basically that of a toddler.

DOODLES

bromance moment ?!?!

Ting Tank with Skywarp! The Seekers are sorta her caretakers (they only hang out w her and teach her their ways) Starscream included! He isn't that close though.

Regular doodles :D

I feel like only Strika in TFA is allowed to buck the weird 'tiny with big optics and curves' design all different Transformers media makes femal 'bots, and it's only 'cause she's "eeevil". (Honestly even the human women in all the franchises are like that, cartoon or liveaction AAA it's frustrating). I love your idea of them being bigger and stronger as a rule, if you're going to give robots genders than ether make them as diverse visually/physically as the 'guy ' robots are, or make them bigger because we know in most TF canon bigger is stronger, and as you said they need that to carry and defend sparklings (and probably got even bigger with specific defense mechanisms after the war started).

yeah, I was kind of thinking of Strika when writing out my thoughts (also idw Road Rage and Pyra Magna my beloved) I just feel like if you insist on having female cybertronians, they shouldn’t be adhering to human gender dimorphism. like, why the fuck would they. They should be, first of all, as diverse in body types as the male characters, none of that thin waists big thighs bullshit we see, and second of all, if you intend to have them bearing newsparks, wouldn’t it just make more sense for them to be even bigger, thicker, denser than the guy transformers? 

like i don’t believe cybertronians have gender as we know it, but if you wanna have lady transformers and guy transformers isn’t it more fun to actually play with it, rather than just fucking. give Arcee a thin little waist again.

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

How about the tfa gang with a human friend with severe road rage. Like their bot friend is giving them a lift home and a very rude driver shouts harsh words and before the jerk can drive fully ahead of them the human friend grabs the wheel before the bots realize what is happening and rams them from behind causing the guy to swerve off road and total his car(he’s alive don’t worry) ;)

-Optimus is HORRIFIED. He's clutching his metaphorical pearls. He's going to pull over, transform, help the poor guy that swerved off the road, apologize profusely while checking him over for injuries and then, and only when he's sure the dude in unhurt, he will talk to you. Well, talking insinuates there's a conversation. Optimus is chewing you out, telling you how that behavior right then was unacceptable and that you really needs some help getting over that road rage because that could have ended really badly!

-Ratchet straight up dumps you on the side of the road and drives the guy to the nearest hospital, even if he appears unhurt. Next time he sees you, Ratchet is going to straight up yell at you. Are you insane!? You could have killed that man! Refuses to speak with you for a week. He's so disappointed in you and refuses to give you a ride for a long, long time. Makes you go to anger management class.

-Bumblebee screeches to a halt, so sudden and quick that you get whiplash. "What was THAT!?" He transforms and helps the guy, asking if he's ok and only once he's sure that he's unharmed will he transform back into alt mode and continue driving back home. The rest of the car ride is quiet, which is very unusual for Bumblebee. He refuses to talk to you until you get back to base and then he's going off on you. Never, EVER do that again, no matter how rude the other guy is! You're sentenced to sitting in the back seat from now on.

-Bulkhead stops and just stands parked on the side of the road for a good ten seconds, shocked and horrified by what just happened. Then, when the shock has died down, he transforms and does whatever he can to help the guy. Then he's gonna talk to you. He's really disappointed but most of all he's sad that you did something like that. You are his friends and he trusts you but what you just did was not ok. Will try to help you overcome your road rage.

-Prowl skids to a halt (Akira-style) and you fall unto the ground when he transforms into root mode. He points at you, says that you will talk later but right now he's going to help the poor man. After that he's going to have a long, long talk with you about anger and not letting it get the better of you. Tells you that from now on he's going to teach you different meditation techniques to deal with your rage and sends you various links to breathing exercises you can try out.

The start of another TFA comic I'm dubbing SkyGliding as it's centered more on Powerglide and Skyfire's relationship and how they met + some friends! This follows my last comic, Bots with Altitude. Here Skyfire admits to Powerglide he wishes to get out of the lab he's been retreating to and go out and meet some more people! But he's never really been the extra social type and he's been away from Cybertron for millions of years, lots has changed since the war and while under Autobot rule. Being an Ex-Decepticon he feels a little out of place and somewhat nervous around the often much smaller Autobots. His more extroverted husband assures him he'll get along with the other bots just fine.

Show I’m Watching: hey here’s a new character for you

Me: okay

SIW: they’re only going to exist in like 2-3 episodes if they’re lucky, and may not even have a presence in the show at all

Me: okay

SIW: even if other minor characters get expanded on later they never will

Me: okay

SIW, shaking me by the shoulders: they have no significance to the plot and investing any amount of interest in them is futile because even the fandom will ignore them

Me: okay

several days later

Me, having expanded on that character significantly and given them a complicated backstory and everything: fuck

[earthstellar]

OK I’m gonna talk for a long time about a character almost nobody but me is interested in, but I love her so please put up with me for a minute here lol 

alright, here we go: 

I feel like Road Rage is absolutely among the least-utilised G1 characters ever, which sucks because I love her so much!!! 

Here’s a summary of her bio from TF Wiki: 

Road Rage is the bodyguard/advisor of Ambassador Crosscut. 

She is well-versed in alien cultures and generally cheerful, making her a very good diplomat. 

However, a chronic short-out in her vehicle mode causes her to live up to her name; in car mode, she is a snarling, swerving speed machine with little regard—if not utter contempt—for anyone else on the road with her.

Which reminds me a lot of how they handled Grimlock as he’s depicted in Cyberverse, where he’s very polite and highly intelligent in root mode, but in alt-mode he’s out there fucking shit up, lmao.

And of course, she’s visually interesting because out of all the G1 femme bots, Road Rage is a big departure from the “typical” femme bot frame type, with a far more heavy-duty feel to her compared to Chromia, Moonracer, Arcee, etc. -- Her original G1 toy was just a re-deco of Tracks. 

I can’t help but wonder how much her aesthetics played a role in her never really getting that much traction in Western/English language media... Sigh. 

Although Road Rage does make an appearance in IDW 2! 

And she does also appear in TFA as well: 

However, in both IDW 2 and TFA, her frame type/model seems to have been adjusted quite a bit, and okay fine, but I feel like the heavy weight and serious look of the original G1 design gets a little lost in the redesigns and she ends up losing a lot of personality as a result, visually speaking.  

Don’t get me wrong, I totally get that adjustments for art style / modernisation to match other character models etc. is a thing that needs to happen as part of natural art evolution and so on! 

No problem with that; There’s a lot of consideration that goes into any character design process, and of course, it’s Transformers so toy models need to be taken into consideration as well, lol. 

But I look at the original G1 Tracks re-deco design of Road Rage, and I think that IDK, making her less brick-like doesn’t really feel quite right to me, personally. (Of course, that’s just my opinion, and the redesigns aren’t inherently bad at all!)

In TFA they also made her a bounty hunter for-justice type character, but personally, I love her original bio. Kick ass diplomatic advisor. That’s so fucking strong!!!! 

It just feels so much more unique and interesting to me, although I get that with TFA they were already working with a fairly large cast of characters with lots going on etc. and you gotta do what you gotta do to make things work for the story that you are trying to tell (or the story you are already in the middle of telling, which is often the case, lmao).

I just really like the idea of this very cordial diplomat’s advisor being a fucking HUGE MASSIVE POWERHOUSE LADY and looking threatening as shit, but actually she’s very chill and is there to help! 

(Until she almost runs you off the road later but hey that’s not 100% her fault, she feels bad about it, she’ll help you get to the hotel so you can get ready for the speaker’s hall event later. No worries. lmao)

But still, IDK, it would be nice to see some more non-”typical” femme bots on a more regular basis. 

I love the hell out of Termagax in IDW 2, Clobber in Cyberverse, etc. and tbh please give me more femme bots who are wide as hell. 

Just, give me some absolutely huge femme bots. 

(If we ever see Termagax animated in anything, I will lose my shit entirely, please give us more Termagax, I love her.) 

I mean, come on, the G1 Road Rage design has that prominent hood torso/chest design that evokes TFA Ratchet’s “beer belly”-- It’s right there!!! Visually, it’s doable!!! 

I feel like TFA Road Rage could have still had a fair enough redesign to match the style of the series but retained a larger / heavier set frame??? 

(Of course, this may not have been done for whatever reasons, but we have so few fat or even just generally big lady bots, and I feel like the G1 design for Road Rage could absolutely be interpreted in subsequent art styles / toy designs as being a wider / heavier frame type???) 

We don’t see a lot of huge, heavy femme bots. The ones we do see are typically neutrals or Decepticons. We could use a few more fat lady Autobots, I’m just saying! But also just more large, strong, boxy, fat, etc. femme bots in general. 

Again, not dunking on the IDW 2 / TFA designs, both art styles generally kick ass, but I love the G1 design for her so much. 

Look at her. She’s so fucking powerful. I feel like the subsequent redesigns don’t really capture that sense of “absolute fucking rectangle of a femme bot”, but of course they also adjusted her character bio a bit for the redesigns too, so IDK. 

In TFA, we already have some big bots like Bulkhead and of course, Ratchet’s got a pretty prominent robo-gut. We know it can be done!! 

And in IDW 2, we do have a bit more frame type diversity, which is always welcome. <3 

It just would have been interesting to see TFA Road Rage’s original hood torso/chest worked into a similar design to Ratchet’s, with a wider set frame, broader limbs, and thicker/bigger door wings to match-- Since her G1 model could already be interpreted as being pretty big, and it might have been a fun little throwback design / nod to the original for those who were already familiar with this character. 

I mean, her original frame type was based on Tracks, and look at how they redesigned Tracks for TFA. Not a super big guy or anything lol, but it’s clear they played around with this frame type redesign concept in at least a couple ways. 

So IDK!!!! I just love the original G1 Road Rage, and while I’m not dunking on the later redesigns of the character, I feel like it would be really cool to see a big lady bot in an interesting role like diplomatic advisor. 

TL;DR: PLEASE GIVE ME THE FAT GOD TIER DIPLOMATIC ADVISOR VERSION OF ROAD RAGE, SHE IS LARGE AND SMART AND I LOVE HER.

[rose-34]

Decided to contribute to mermay.

[hibiscera]

happy pride month...!! these are actually from about 2 months ago but i was too nervous to post them until now 💦 this was also my first time drawing a number of these bots!!

[please don’t tag as kin/me/id for prowl, thank you!]

[artobotsrollout]

Aside from Drift, are there any other characters or concepts from other continuities that you're considering adding to the harbinger au?

Oh absolutely!! I'm so glad you asked!!! There's so many rad characters and concepts from different continuities that are way too good to NOT take some inspiration from and proceed to dump my own bucket of interpretations and ideas onto them. They won't be straight rips bc I have my own unique plans with them but they will take varying levels of inspiration from the listed sources!

Characters and Concepts from Other Continuities that are Being Considered for the Harbingers AU

More may still be added but for now have what I have on the table atm.

Concepts

-Some of the beautiful planets in Cyberverse

-As in Cyberverse, Lazerbeak is more like a sort of pet/familiar to Soundwave. If I add Ravage it would be as a pet/familiar to Soundwave as well and not an actual dude.

-I might maybe include an idea from Prime Wars about the existence of a sort of anti-Matrix/ Unicron having his own version of the Matrix.

-A similar game to "Cube" from Cyberverse existed on Cybertron. Not Cube exactly, I'm still figuring out a new name, but same idea. Basically Rocket League.

-I'm yoinking a lot from Cyberverse apparently but sncnke a Cthulu esq titan does exist... Idk if he'll actually make an appearance or not but he sure does exist.

-Outliers from well... most continuities have them? but I think IDW was the one who actually named the bots with unique abilities as outliers. Idk I just got to the part in MTMTE where we meet some outliers soooo...Makeshift in this case would be an example of one. Anyways, they exist and are called outliers. Starscream has a few on his team.

-I'm very tempted to yoink this from IDW. Ratchet having an almost illegal clinic for cybertronians who were considered lower caste and couldn't afford treatment or weren't considered "worth treatment." I'm still debating on this cause I do very much like @optimistpax 's idea that TfP Ratchet was a chemist before the war and this might contradict that. I might just have that early on in the war Ratchet became a medic and he made his services available for anyone to come for medical care for free/at very low cost.

I will probably rewatch a show or two so more concepts may be considered!

Characters

The subcategories are based on how solidified my plan of including them is.

These aren't all the characters I'm considering btw. Ironhide would be in the "debating" category except I wouldn't pull from anything specific. I'd be taking the concept of Ironhide in Transformers and then running with it. And characters who are in Exodus, RiD15, etc already that I'm not replacing, like I am with Drift, won't be here.

Pretty Sure

-Deadlock/Drift [IDW]

-Lockdown[TFA]

-Tarn + DJD [IDW]

-Flatline[TF Universe/ROTF comic]

With Knockout leaving the Decepticons will need a new medic. I'm not making Shockwave the stand-in medic like Exodus did bc I don't want to. 😂 Also I learned about Flatline and I love him very much. I'm not actually taking all that much from the source material besides design ideas for him. The rest I'm gonna figure out.

THIS DUDE TURNS INTO A HEARSE I LOVE HIM.

He's got FOUR ARMS LOOK AT HIM GO

optimistpax thank you sm for showing me the good good boi.

-Jazz [TFA]

Idk if this counts cause all I'm really yoinking from TFA is heavy inspiration for Jazz's design. The rest I'm basically taking the rough overarching idea of Jazz as a character in all of transformers and then changing a bunch and shoving in my own ideas. 😂. He was in Exodus and they seriously wronged Jazz. 😔

I refuse Exodus Jazz and insert my own.

Debating

-Shadow Striker [Cyberverse/IDW 2]

-Shatter [Bumblebee]

-Dropkick [Bumblebee]

-Flamewar [IDW 2]

I've JUST met Flamewar in IDW 2 and I already love her but I want to read a bit more before I decide anything. Her story for Harbingers would be different but still.

-Road Rage [IDW 2]

I haven't met Road Rage in IDW 2 yet so the rating will likely change as I continue reading.

-Octane [G1]

-Skids [IDW]

-Misfire [IDW]

I'm still reading MTMTE so the likelyhood for comic based characters will change as I go.

Unlikely but Not Completely Off the Table

-Hot Rod [IDW/Cyberverse]

-Blurr [TFA/IDW]

-Rung [IDW]

-Swindle [TfA]

-Wildwheel [Cyberverse]

I just find his whole deal supremely funny snxnejs. Dude is salty no one looked for him even though all of the cybertronians were still in stasis so they actually couldn't. 😂

-Chromia [IDW/Cyberverse]

-Blitzwing [Bumblebee movie/G1]

Tbh he'd be higher on the list bc I love his design in the Bumblebee movie if I wasn't so worried about disappointing people who would expect TfA Blitzwing. He wouldn't be anything like his TfA counterpart so it's much better for everyone if I just use another character. I don't want to falsely get anyone's hopes up yknow?

Side note there may be some coming in from weirdly specific sources like 3H comics etc to round out some of the teams and sub teams.

Teams to be Rounded Out:

-Starscream's crew

-The Wreckers

-Autobot Spec Ops

-General Autobot Warriors

-General Decepticon Warriors

If anyone's interested I can make a post going in detail about the team[s] people are curious about and what characters I'm considering for them but otherwise this current post is already longer than I intended it to be snejid.

[seeker-of-the-stars]

Can I ask for tfa bee meeting idw bee please

"C'mon, why don't we go for a bit of racing, huh? If you're really me from another dimension, I know you'll like that."

Bumblebee rose an optic ridge at his counterpart. "Didn't Optimus say those are illegal? And dangerous?"

"Pssh, Optimus says all kinds of things. I've been there dozens of times and I've never once gotten hurt."

Bumblebee let out an ex vent. It was already past midnight and he wanted to get a good night of rest so he could focus on finding a way back home in the morning. If he didn't get back to Cybertron soon, no doubt Starscream would find a way to undermine him and still his post...

"I'm sorry Bee, but I really can't. Why don't you ask Bulkhead to go with you? You guys seem close."

"Bulkhead?! You must be joking," Bumblebee said. "Look, I love the guy like a brother but he couldn't win a race if his life depended on it."

"Well, I need to get some recharge for tomorrow. Maybe some other time."

Bumblebee let out an exaggerated sigh. "Fine, I get it. You're like, the president of Cybertron or whatever back home and you think this whole thing is stupid. It's okay, everyone else does too, I should be used to it by now."

Bumblebee cursed to himself. He should know better than to fall for such cheap tricks by now, and yet...

"Okay, fine. I'll go with you."

His counterpart's optics lit up. "You mean it?!"

"Just this once," he emphasized. "Mostly because I'm hoping to get back home as soon as I can."

Bumblebee grinned. "This is going to be the most fun you've ever had in your life, just you wait!"

***

Bumblebee decided this was the most stressful night of his life.

Okay, maybe not the most stressful, he's had some doozies over the millennia. But this was definitely up there.

"Ow! Hey, watch it!" Bumblebee hissed as the black Ferrari beside him pushed him out of the way. While he wasn't able to see it, he could feel the giant scratch on his side.

"Sorry kid, you're playing with the big boys now," the driver on the other side of him mocked. His hair was blond and slicked back, and his eyes a dull green. He smirked in Bumblebee's direction. "If you can't handle it, then get out of the way." The man then pressed on the gas, zooming in front of the little yellow car.

"C'mon Bee! Are you just gonna take that?" His counterpart drove up beside him. "We gotta beat him for sure now, to show him who's boss."

"This was a terrible idea, I can't believe I let you talk me into this," Bumblebee groaned.

"It's not that bad, that guy's just a jerk. Now come on, I know you can do it."

"Bumblebee. I'm tired, and I want to go back home before I get my bumper knocked off."

"What?! You can't quit in the middle of a race!" his counterpart exclaimed. "We've only got a few blocks left, then we can go home. I promise."

Bumblebee sighed. "Fine."

"Great! Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a race to win."

With that, his counterpart shot off in front of him, whooping all the way.

Shaking his head, Bumblebee transformed back to his root mode and checked his side where he was hit. There was a surface level scratch and a bit of spilled energon, but luckily nothing he'd need Ratchet for. That didn't stop it from hurting like hell though.

He stopped when he saw the black car who had scratched him crash into his counterpart up ahead, running him off the road.

"Ahhhh!" Bumblebee cried as collided with the metal railing.

He heard the driver laughing as he drove off. "Maybe you should get a sturdier car next time. That little bug off yours can't take a hit."

"Bumblebee!" Bumblebee cried out. He rushed over towards his counterpart. "Are you alright?"

His counterpart transformed back into his root mode, and coughed up some energon. "I'll live," he gave him a weak smile. "But now that asshole is going to win."

"Maybe not," Bumblebee smirked. He transformed back, and looked at his counterpart. "Can you move on your own?"

"Yeah."

"Then I'll meet you at the finish line."

***

Bumblebee didn't think he had ever driven so fast in his life.

A small part of his processor forced him to keep a look out for pedestrians and other drivers, but the bigger, much louder part was filled with an unbridled rage. If that stuck up, wannabe badass wanted to pick on his friends, he'd have another thing coming.

It wasn't long before he caught up to the owner of the Ferrari. Without thinking, he immediately slammed into his bumper.

"Hey!" he heard the driver yell from his window. "This car is worth more than your life!"

"Not mine, but maybe yours," Bumblebee slammed into the car once again, earning a squawk of outrage from the driver.

After a final hit, the black car pulled over to the side, and the driver stormed out. "You want to fight? Fine! Then get out of your little bug and face me on your own two feet."

"As you wish," Bumblebee transformed to his root mode, and smirked down at the driver. While he was a minibot and therefore shorter than most Cybertronians, he was still at least twice the size of a human.

"You still want to fight?"

"You! You're one of them!" The guy's eyes lit up with horror. "What are you doing here?"

"A friend dragged me out," Bumblebee said. "Speaking of my friend; when you were just messing with me, I was ready to let it go. You know, forgive and forget." He picked up the man with one hand, holding him like a child with a doll.

"But then you hurt my friend, and I don't feel so forgiving anymore."

"W-Wait, please!" the man pleaded. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet. "I'll give you however much you want, just don't eat me, or whatever you guys do with humans!"

"We don't-" Bumblebee sighed. What was he doing, threatening a human, even a human as awful as this one? If only Optimus could see him right now...

"I don't want your money. Just... get out of here and don't come back. He doesn't want to ever see you again, and neither do I. Understand?"

"It's a deal," the man said with great relief. He looked over at his half mutilated car. "But I think I might need a ride home. Do you think you could..."

"Absolutely not," Bumblebee said. He transformed back to his alt mode, driving off toward the finish line.

***

"Hey Bee."

His counterpart grinned up at him from his berth in the medbay. "Hey, yourself."

It took some convincing, but Bumblebee was finally able to allow Ratchet to look over his injuries. Luckily none of his injuries were permanent or too severe to be fixed, but he still needed a few days of rest to recover.

"Did you get in a lot of trouble?"

"Eh, nothing I'm not used to. Optimus gave me a pretty lengthy lecture and I'm only allowed out for missions for the next two weeks, but nothing too bad. If anything, he seemed more worried than mad."

"That's Optimus for you," Bumblebee said.

There was a few moments of silence before his counterpart spoke up. "Hey... I'm sorry I kind of put a dent in your plans to get home. I know you're really worried about Starscream, and well, who can blame you? I just thought it would be fun to have, y'know, a twin around for a bit. One I could have some fun with."

Bumblebee rose an optic ridge. "Is that what you think of me as? Like a twin brother?"

"I mean, I guess? I know we're not actually twins, but there really isn't a word to describe your relationship with yourself from an alternate universe."

"I suppose not," Bumblebee smirked. "Well, I'll leave and let you get some rest."

"You'll still be here when Ratchet lets me go right?" His counterpart asked before he left. "You won't leave without saying goodbye?"

Bumblebee smiled. "Of course not. Now get some sleep."

Meet the What If Creators of Optimus & Roadrage >:3

These gals are here merely for the fun of design/the joy of the sassy gf x grumpy gf trope but here let’s see:

Mav is a young and punkish draft dodger more concerned with doing what she wants— when she wants rather than fitting the status quo. She’s a huge flirt with little to no filter, and is hellbent on trying to get a certain familiar ramrod strict Prime to live a little outside of her usual brooding at bars, and well,,,brooding.

Galea likes her solitude and silence. She’s got an extensive streak of suspension due to her temper. Galea takes her rank and position a bit to seriously, she’s practically the living and breathing incarnation of workaholism and scarcely knows what to do with herself after being booted out of the compound yet AGAIN for insubordination.

Galea met ‘Mav’ after the stupid, beautiful, lanky femme had the audacity infiltrate her back of the bar booth and make attempt at a conversation of all things. Galea had hardly any experience in ‘chatting’ outside of reporting stale mission reports and firing red-faced retorts, you can imagine what a sort of awkward shit show this first meeting must have been.

Luckily for Galea, the spunky smack talker turned out took a liking to Galea’s awkwardness and found herself determined to get a smile to crack—turns out Mav is nothing but trouble every time the coincidently bump into each other —and poor Galea is never gonna admit that maybe she likes that this gutsy femme is not afraid to push her buttons.

Transformers: Earth Bound

just another of my many transformers series ideas

After the brief but brutal war with the decepticons, the victorious autobots remain in a stagnant military state. In place of the slain  high council, the convoy council, made up of autobot commanders, guide cybertron. Optimus Convoy, feeling distant from his more militaristic peers, chooses to follow a lead on his long missing mentor Kup. Of Elita One, he asks to remain and monitor the situation on cybertron. Optimus leaves with his trusted allies Bumblebee, Ratchet and Road Rage and follows his clue to earth.  

Detecting an unusual cybertronian energy signature, optimus sends the others to investigate while he secretly reveals himself to the human leaders.  Optimus is stunned to discover that the human governments know of his species, many having been in hiding on earth for hundreds of years. The other autobots discover an archaeological dig under attack from transformers Sideways and Nightbird. They proclaim to only be searching for dangerous relics to protect the humans.  From the site bursts a giant robotic raptor, and it takes both groups to eventually subdue it.  The creature then transforms, revealing itself as cybertronian, and the mysterious duo slip away in the confusion.  Other than recognizing himself as a powerful warrior, the aggressive newcomer has no memory of his name or past and is dubbed “dinobot” by bumblebee.

The autobots and dinobot meet up with optimus and find their ship has been disabled and they are attacked by a force of brainwashed, undead transformers under the command of sideways and nightbird.  Destroying the attackers and driving off the duo, the group is resigned to remaining on earth, with the aid of their human companion Mikaela.  Striping their ship to create a base in an abandoned mall, they resolve to investigate the source and purpose of the transformers refugees. It soon becomes clear that the real threat is the alien Quintessons, who covet and secretly prep the earth for their invasion. Under the command of the power hungry Mara-Al-Utha, the alien forces coil the planet in their tentacles for the greater quintesson forces’ eventual arrival.  

The autobots, joined by a reluctant dinobot, set forth in acting as heroes for everyday crisis on earth, as well as tracking kups whereabouts, researching dinobots past and thwarting the quintessons’ schemes.

Autobots:

Optimus Convoy/Prime(fire truck)- idealistic, practical and courageous, he rises to being a true leader by aiding the humans in defense of their world. He does carry some emotional baggage from his role in the war, which he still struggles to work through. 

(the pics of the main autobots are just close approximations i could find from what i imagine they’d look like. for optimus, he would be mostly just be cybertron/galaxy design, but not have the jetpack/cannons and just a fire ladder on his back)

Ratchet(ambulance)-the old and grouchy but wise and caring medic and second in command. He is also the one most interested in researching Dinobots past.

(mostly identical to his cyberverse design, just more standarly bulky lowerbody/legs)

Road Rage(corvette)-a skilled and friendly soldier and best at dealing with the humans, due to her politically related past. She also constantly deals with a alt mode related personality disorder.

(pretty close to her masterpiece design, with a few of the stylized details of her TFA look. would also have a retractable face plate to look like her original figure) 

Bumblebee(sports car)-eager and excitable scout and soldier, despite being the smallest of the team; he’s also the closest of the autobots to Mikaela. He also carries trust issues due to a past relationship.

(basically his evergreen design but slightly more squat)

Dinobot(raptor)-a powerful and vicious ancient warrior, he has forgotten his past save his pride and honor. While he sees the autobots as inferior, he recognizes their bravery and is willing to stand with them, finding their cause just.

(wouldn’t have the double jointed legs, would have pointed feet with a spike similar to AOE grimlock. would have a tall, lanky stature and some features similar to TFA lockdown. does have a normal sword and would have the pronounced large claws on hands but not sure how tail would be utilised converted in bot mode)

Kup(pickup truck)-a cold and grizzled war vet and optimus’ former instructor. He secretly guards the matrix of leadership until it senses its next bearer. He left cybertron to hide it but wound up crashing and in stasis on earth.

Elita one-optimus’ second in command and sparkmate, she remained on cybertron but grows suspicious of his prolonged disappearance. When denied by the council to search for him, she manages to get off planet with aid of the wreckers, with only jazz, nautica and bulkhead as backup.

 Others:

Mikaela-the autobots primary human ally, she is friendly, aloof and street smart, but tries to hide her rough home life. she;s also able to aid ratchet on occasion with her knowledge of mechanics.

Sideways & Nightbird-a mischievous and nefarious pair of bots who act as spies and assassins for the quintessons on earth and often clash with the autobots.

Lockdown-an honor-less and sinister bounty hunter who frequents earth.  

Dinobots-an order of ancient cybertronian warriors who defended prehistoric earth from the quintessons previous attempt to take it. Nearly all the warriors were killed by the meteor the quintessons sent to earth.

Quintessons:

Mara Al Utha- a deranged and vengeful scientist class quintesson in charge of the invasion of earth. He seeks to regain his former position as advisor to the judges.  

The Curator - a 3-faced type quintesson, he’s the sycophantic and dramatic advisor and second in command to Mara.

Xeros-the oafish pufferfish-like head medic and technician of the quintessons earth forces.

The Watcher-a transformer-like robot who sits above the earth in the form of a satellite, acting as the eyes and ears of his master.

Gamekeeper-a giant crab-like beast; he is the enforcer and executioner for his quintesson master.

Judges-the 5-faced leaders of the quintesson empire; they desire the natural resources of earth and begin to grow untrusting of mara al utha, forcing them to intervene. While there are many judges, a specific trio primary commands the empire.

Inquirata-head of the quintesson scientists and chief counsel to the ruling judges, as well as a rival to Mara Al Utha.

Tyrannicon-a quintesson/sharkticon hybrid, he acts as the leader of his vicious race and general of the quintesson forces.

Gnaw-a specially upgraded sharkticon, he is the loyal but slow-witted goon of Tyrannicon.

 Refugees:

Tigatron & Airazor-beast bot partners who wonder earth, they are close allies of the autobots, often acting as long range scouts for them.  

Terrorsaur-a sinister beast bot who runs a human/transformer crime syndicate. After many confrontations he is defeated and imprisoned before escaping and reluctantly joining the quintessons.  

Slipstream-a renegade decepticon who has retired to earth, acting as a rogue element. She later takes command of spittor and waspinator after they abandon terrorsaur.

Jetfire: an ancient warrior and explorer who laid dormant on earth for a long time. he is now old, rusty and not quite in his right mind.

Gnash-a rogue allicon who once served as body guard to Mara al utha before desiring freedom and going into hiding.

Paddles-the only other survivor of the “dinobots”, she was exiled from her kind for her benevolence and has remained hidden on earth for eons as the truth behind the lock ness monster.

Flip Sides-bumblebee’s former flame, she was imprisoned after being awakened as a decepticon sleeper agent. She has escaped prison and taken refuge on earth with the aid of slipstream.  

Riptide-an aquabot who enjoys being on earth for its water sources. He is aligned with the autobots but also tidal wave and the atlantians.

Skids-an autobot scientist and explorer stationed on earth; he is a friend to both ratchet and kup.

Drift-a former decepticon turned autobot swordsman who remains on earth to hunt his rival, wreckage.

Wreckage-a brutal and cunning decepticon warrior and former comrade to drift.

Tidal wave- a massive and powerful decepticon warrior, he lays semi-dormant under the oceans of earth as the revered guardian of the hidden city of atlantis and its people.

Snowcat-a clownish decepticon who enjoys skiing, causing avalanches and general mischief.
