Sunnysides transformers primefication

[randomoneshotididwheniwasdrunk]

I need all the Transformers fans to answer this question

What would you think a stereotype for a Cybertronian would be? Like

Do other aliens stereotype them? And if they did what would it be?

(Edit)

What about slurs? Is that even possible? It's something that keeps me up at night

[sideswipesjetpack]

Quick warmups🙂‍↕️💕

And these guys the non gif version </3

[lovinglonerhybrid]

Tracks, knockout, and sunstreaker have weekly get togethers where they all work on there paint and polish and gossip. Sunstreaker complains about how messy sideswipe is. Tracks laments how bad high command is about there finish. Knockout rants about the whole seeker armada and how prissy they are about everything. The three are allowed to bring one guest each but the only one who really does is knockout who brings breakdown. Poor breakdown is so flustered and shy around all the pretty bots. The three all think he’s adorable and ruthlessly flirt with the big bot.

Would you mind telling us about more disabled Cybertronians?

Oh boy would I

For this list let’s focus on physical disabilities, both because they’re the most commonly dismissed by the fandom and bc if we try to cover everything we’d be here all day (that can be another list, maybe, if y’all want)

This isn’t going to be comprehensive bc I’m tired but!! I will aim for a broad variety of examples nonetheless

Bumblebee - You all know him, you all love him. He’s the most obvious and most well known example of a disabled Cybertronian character.

In many iterations he is mute

Not by choice but because he lacks a voice box. Bee physically isn’t capable of speech and depending on the version has different tools to work around that. Sometimes he uses his radio to repurpose song and radio dialogue into speech, in cyberverse he also makes use of the internet for clips. In the aligned continuity (tfp and connected media) he speaks in binary, a very simplified form of language using beeps and buzzes, but still lacks a real voice and can’t form words.

In IDW he has a cane

At one point in the comics Bumblebee was shot by a human protester and as a result used a cane for a good bit of time. I haven’t had the chance to read that far into IDW yet so I’m not sure how long he had the cane for but it was enough time that it’s a solidified part of the charcaters history. I’ve seen little models of the cane for sale, to be paired with bee figures.

TFP Ultra Magnus - everyone’s favorite awkward commander, despite his popularity he’s surprisingly overlooked when it comes to this discussion

An amputee, he lost his hand

During an energon raid with wheeljack, magnus’ hand was crushed. Ratchet couldn’t save it and had to amputate, replacing it with a hooked prosthetic. I call it a prosthetic rather than replacement part because despite him being able to move it, it’s not a hand. Not in the way he had previously, and he has to relearn how to use it at all.

I think that’s an important distinction to make when discussing disability and transformers. Some bots might have only ever had one hand, or no legs, or etc but that’s always been their level of ability and since they Are robotic. Yeah they might not have the same capabilities as another bot but that’s a hard metric to go by. Seekers can fly but a grounder isn’t disabled because they can’t fly too, it’s a different standard.

WFC Shamble - far lesser known than Magnus, and reasonably so, this background character is Also missing a limb

Amputee, leg edition

His prosthetic is a lot less fancy than magnus’s, it’s a simple peg leg. Put em together and you get a pirate. Not much to say about him since i don’t know how he lost the leg, just that he did.

Shadow Striker - Most awesome lady in cyberverse. Unlike the above two, she Was able to get actual replacement parts rather than prosthetics. Despite this, she is both shown throughout the show and implied to have

Impaired mobility

Chronic pain

She was able to get replacement parts yes but they were needed because she was blown up. The limbs she was given were kinda just what the others could Find and as such are mismatched and don’t fit her very well. Her motor skills took a blow especially when it comes to combat, something she used to excel in. Her new limbs are described as unstable and prone to malfunction. The loss of mobility and implied chronic pain that come along with her situation are rough, but she makes do.

SG Soundwave - my favorite little guy, he’s in a bit of a different situation than the previous.

Bad Joints ™

His body was entirely overhauled multiple times, successfully, but the latest frame change was done with conflicting metals. Earth and Cybertronian materials clash in his joints, making them prone to getting stopped up. The most affected hinge being the one on the door to his tape deck. It is so prone to getting stuck that his cassettes refuse to dock with him at risk of getting trapped. To work around this, Soundwave has the aid of a personalized case he carries around that they dock in instead.

IDW Sunstreaker - speaking of assistive devices, this guy was (for a time) a wheelchair user! Or,, hoverchair.

Temporary,,, paraplegic? Correct me if another term fits better

Taking this moment for an aside to say hey!! Lookit that, both canes and hoverchairs are things that canonically and casually exist on cybertron!! It’s not too wild to assume there are bots out there who use them long term!! Yes both characters on this list were repaired eventually but they’re also both very popular old characters from an action based franchise and hasbro doesn’t have the balls to make something like that permanent yet. We the fandom are not hasbro. We can do whatever we damn want with our OCs. It’s canon that ur little guy can use mobility aids.

Ok, PSA over, anyway yeah Sunny’s body was basically wrecked and alpha trion was able to repair all of him except his legs. This put him in a hoverchair for a good amount of time.

Finback - he’s a con, a pirate, who developed a “metal wasting disease”

He’s on permanent life support

The disease is going to kill him eventually, and it’s explicitly stated that he’s come to terms with the idea of his death. In the meantime he’s using pretender tech, kinda like fancy armor, to reinforce himself and boost his immune system

Perceptor - for a microscope, the fact he’s got vision issues in multiple continuities is kinda ironic

He’s fully blind in cyberverse

He lost an eye in IDW

Between the two we get to see both routes taken to work with this. Adaption and technological aid. In cyberverse he uses his scope to compensate for the loss of vision Toph-style. In IDW he built himself a monocle that basically replaces the pieces that are missing.

Now we get into the uniquely Cybertronian disabilities, one’s that don’t quite translate to human conditions

Transmutate - is a beloved bot from beast wars

They can’t transform, they don’t have an alt mode

I’m hazy on the details of their character but afaik they came from a damaged stasis pod. Described as deformed and handicapped for their both their lack of an alt mode and general appearance, they are probably the oldest explicitly disabled Cybertronian character

Xaaron - from G1 is in a similar situation

He can’t transform, it would kill him

Unlike transmutate he does have an alt mode, a tank, but after thousands of years without transforming he is no longer able to. The new stress it would cause on his body would kill him.

Broadside - continuing with the subject of alt modes, this clumsy boy is a boat! That’s not a good thing.

He’s very prone to motion sickness

As you can imagine, chronic sea sickness isn’t the most helpful thing when you are the boat. This brings in the entirely new element of mobility issues that are inherent to alt modes. A bot that functions fine in root form might not in alt mode and vice versa.

Trailbreaker - is another instance of this. He’s not a fast car by any means but that doesn’t stop the fact

His frame has a very high energon cost

Possibly the least fuel efficient autobot, he’s got an outlier ability on top of it all that only further increases his required energon intake. He needs to pay more attention to his energon levels and refuel more often overall.

G1 Knockout - yes that’s right the shiny medic himself is on this list, though not for the same reason as his tfp version, g1 knockout still lives up to his name

He’s prone to fainting

A knockout in the more literal sense, he faints when he gets too excited. Fully collapses and everything. Since he’s a fall risk, his teammates take care to keep an eye on him.

Annnnd Yknow he probably should’ve been earlier in the list along with the “human-ish” issues but I’m tired, it’s late, and I’m bringing this list to a close

Im sure there are more characters that I didn’t mention but I hope this helped! Thank you for the ask

[raileurta]

If Cody, Miko, the twins, and Shockwave were locked in a room together they would probably make a black hole by accident and or figure out a way to kill god.

[dragonsgirl572]

i made a family tree for optimus and ratchet. they're not dating, just amica-bonded.

Red = Conjunxed

Pink = Amica-Bonded

Blue = Split-Sparks (twins)

Yellow = Siblings

Black line = biological child

Black dotted line = Adopted child

Red 'x' = Dead

Facts about the family tree!!

Ultra Magnus was created in a tube. He was supposed to replace Orion because he was questioning the Council. Alpha Trion shut them down and introduced Ultra Magnus as Orion and Ariel's little brother.

It's unknown if Sunstreaker is dead of missing.

Elita-One and Optimus are half predacons.

And, I don't like Elita and Optimus dating for some reason, so I made them split-sparks.

I may add on to this.

[artxssa]

Sunny and Sides busting some rhymes… but forgetting their sister.

(Strikestar is my OC :3)

[theta-donaldson]

Part three is done.

It's been a pretty rough week for me with having my old cat (19) put to sleep last friday, I miss him so much. 💔 Please give your pets a pat/hug from me.

[ny000mdraws]

Do you have TFP Sides and Sunny, and Bluestreak refs?

If not, *casually slides 💵 *

none for sideswipe bc he’s in rid15 and he’s already perfect, but here’s a simple head turn, full body sketches, and some info of tfp au sunstreaker and bluestreak! :)

[rotten-3y3s]

Doodles! + tf oc

[theeauthor01]

I've been drawing some of the transformers for my story

Bumblebee

Smokescreen

Knockout

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker

and Strongarm

I have not drawn Ultra Magnus or Grimlock yet

[mx-lore]

Transformers version of Dermatillomania where they compulsively pick/scratch their paint jobs.

They just have the odd bald patch of grey here and there, though sometimes like human skin picking they can go too far and end up carving into the metal and leaving small gouges behind.

Sometimes matching paint isn't available, especially during the war, so bots with this affliction can have discoloured sections when they spot paint. Not super obvious all the time, but bots who are more particular about paintjobs (Knockout and Sunstreaker, for example) can see the discrepancy from a mile away. It drives them up the wall, over the ceiling, down the opposite wall and back onto the floor again.

[taciturnraccoon]

I found this old sketch on my tablet so I decided to write down the thought I had when I originally drew it & then quickly threw the top right doodle together.

Speech bubbles swiped from All Hail Megatron.

[nevis-the-skeleton]

wired way to ask but what is the doing the parents show their love the most for the sparklings?

#tf#transformer#the polar star

BIG SPOILERS OF THE PART 6 OF "THE POLAR STAR"

This is an interesting question, I will do my best to answer it ^^ with each Sparkling and each Creator.

*

Northlight:

Skyfire: He shows his affection mainly with hugs, or by conveying his love through his Capacity Empathy. It’s his way to show affection to his Sparkling, and also to remember that its Capacity can also transmit good things. So, Lighty always knows that, whatever she does, her CreaSky always loves her.

Starscream: Less in physical affection, he expresses it much more with his wings, even if it is often accidental. Northlight never doubts the love of her CreaStar either, because even if he is not always at home, as soon as he is there, he never hides his joy which is reflected in his wings when he sees Sky and Lighty.

*

The little Predacons:

Predaking: Predaking is very much into tactile affection, surprise hugs, kisses, pats on the head. He also very often offers outings with those who can fly, then with those who cannot. He also offers outings where everyone can participate.

Steve: Verbal affection mainly. He's a little strict, but the little Predacons know that Steve loves them, they have no doubts. There needs to be a strict but loving Creator in the group.

Darksteel and Skylynx: They are more like big brothers than Creators, they get into mischief with the Sparklings, and never hesitate to tease them, it's their way of showing their affection.

*

Twitch:

Dreadwing: The Vossians are pretty reserved when it comes to their affection, but that doesn't mean they don't have any. Twitch enjoys spending calm and silent moments with her CreaWing, not a word is shared, but there is no need of that to share the mutual peace they feel in each other's presence.

Wheeljack: More hugger than Dreadwing in his affections, that's for sure. Twitch is sometimes a little distant, because Wheeljack's affection is sometimes too abrupt. But, Wheeljack always ends up apologize, and Twitch still agrees to have one surprise hug per month.

*

Trash:

Springer: They play together, and simulate fights. Springer currently has 30 wins and 1 loss. Trash catch him by surprise, Trash is very proud of it.

Arcee: Affectionate pats and smiles.

*

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker:

Ironhide: He love them both equally, and never compare them, they each have their strengths, and Ironhide will never see the point in comparing them. They always go on a picnic outing during the week-end, to be able to fully exercise. So far the twins are loving it.

*

Strongarm:

Ultra Magnus: Ultra Magnus is very reserved, just as Strongarm is, but Ultra Magnus makes a point of always telling her a story before she goes to sleep. Strongarm loves every story Ultra Magnus tells her.

*

Wildbreak:

KnockOut: Shows his love mainly by looking at the state of the paint on his Sparkling, that's how we did it at Velocitron, and certain habits are not lost. Wildbreak takes care of it, except when he's with Breakdown.

Breakdown: Breakdown and Wildbreak often take escapades into the wilderness, resulting in them returning in a terrible state. KO gets angry, obviously, but that adds to the complicity of Wildbreak and Breakdown. The two always end up giving KnockOut a hug full of mud.

*

Drag Strip:

Ransack and Crumblezone: No matter what Dragstrip says, he loves his Creators. They are often stupid and clumsy, but never in their love.

*

Sunder and Sceptre:

Froid: He gives them all the love in the world, continuing his hermit life with them, and hiding the terrible history of Cybertron from them. Froid wants to offer them a peaceful life without worry. He tells them stories, and never hesitates to take them in his arms.
