Okay so imagine all 6 trainbots got on the lost light, and sometimes Shouki would make Rodimus ride him (not in a transportation way) in Rodimus's office. Now, imagine Yukikaze (Shouki's canon younger brother) walks in on them and NOPEs right out

Oh poor guy XD he had to watch his big bro get the ride of his life on the captain... Fuck they're probably even doing a stupid roleplay about Shouki "paying" for their stay on board...

what kinda music do soundwave lik most?.

Dear Atonal Aficionado,

His own. He heard music in all the sounds his keen audio receptors sensed, and as a result composed music in unusual time signatures, such as 84/19. Typical tracks consist of sounds of tinny aircraft overhead and bassy rail-grinding of underground trainbots; the rhythmic clicking of his cassettes shuffling and rewinding in his chest compartment; the unique sound of dozens of transforming cogs converting simultaneously.

He also listens to Daft Punk.

I draw a pen doodle every day until I forget

Day 285: Lowliner (Transformers O.C.)

This is Lowliner! He’s a Micromaster that turns into a Peckett & Sons no. 1900 Steam engine. (one of the smallest to run on standard gauge rails.)

I’ve been chipping away at Lowliner for years! His name used to be Trackmaster, and he was just a blue pallet swap of Hearts of Steel Optimus prime. As time has gone on, however, he’s evolved into what you see here! I’m not sure how long he’ll stay that way, but I like him!

(As a bonus, here is my most recent full sketch of Lowliner)

My favorite combiner (both character and toy wise) and I pretty cool decepticon!

Bruticus should be taller, but they still look so fuckin good.

We aren't gonna talk about the Criminal Minds in the background bc I do NOT have a problem

[drlockdown-reviews]

One thing I don't really get:

MPM lacks the fit and finish of masterpiece. In many areas it's clunky and underdone, without the premium feel. Yet the fandom claims it's "Masterpiece".

MPG has the fit and finish, the class, the engineering, yet because the combined mode is a little bit lacking in the proportions department, and because it follows the realistic style of old MP, not the toon style of new MP, "it's not MP".

I've...never understood. I feel the general consensus is all backwards.

Thanks to @traintrainingmontage I’ve now started referring to this man as “the narrow gauge Cheeto”

[theneptuneflytrap]

We as a fandom moved on from GO! GO! Trainbots TO SOON

[aimuscle]

Having a musclebot assures a good training... They are too intimidating to say no to another rep.

[brawnsleloenigmadoublesonic]

What have I done. Anyway, I need to ride this train in more ways than one. I feel like Shouki would be into cockwarming and sweet interfacing. You know what? It's crackship time. G1 Shouki x IDW Rodimus. I might actually design IDW designs for the trainbots.

-Roddychoo

Oh my god... YES PLEASE!!! Roddychoo you've ruined me, I need it... Shouki should have Rodimus warm his spike while they work...

Dear, Vector Prime.

Are there any members of Trainbots that transform into linear motor cars or monorails?

Dear Rolling Stock Rock,

As the Trainbots have become more involved in the war on a galactic level, the hardworking scientists and engineers at Shibuya Manufacturing have continued to work with the Autobots on the creation of new warriors to protect the Japanese public. Currently two have been completed, with more planned.

The Osaka Monorail line is protected by Koumei, who transforms into a 3000 Series monorail. Quick-witted and a good study, Koumei is popular with the students who frequent his route as he uses his advanced suspension to ensure a smooth ride, making him easy to sleep on after a long cram session. Large enough to form a replacement limb for Raiden, Koumei can also turn into the Mono Railgun, a long-range anti-combiner rifle.

Meanwhile, the newest Trainbot is Kuusou, who is stationed as part of the Yokohama Sky Cabin gondola line. Excellent at languages and with a small frame suited to the tight streets of Yokohama bay, Kuusou enjoys her role as a tourism spokesbot. When Raiden has cause to defend Yokohama, Kuusou’s weaponised yo-yo mode allows him to mesmerize and take down enemy combiners at mid-range.

Among the other planned Trainbots, perhaps the most notable is concept warrior code named JRZ. Currently planned for deployment in Kyushu for a test run by 2040, this hypothetical Autobot would use an entire Shinkansen engine and cars to turn into a giant warrior based on bleeding-edge technology left behind by Team Shinkansen, who fought the Destrongers in the early 2000s. I wonder what kind of person this “Shinbot” will turn out to be…

As you can see, the Autobot fascination with trains shared by the Japanese continues to live on! You might be amused to know that domestic airlines are beginning to petition the government to ask the Autobots for some passenger jet “Planebots” to act as promotional staff as well. Unfortunately for them, so far it appears unfeasible due to safety concerns, and for now the existing airborne Autobots will have to suffice.
