Sunder (Transformers) is an Anime Girl!

[panboba]

I kind of want tfa Sentinel prime to meet Sunder. But not in a way that Sunder wants to kill Sentinel prime more like Sunder is kind of interesting in trolling or manipulating him. I was thinking maybe Sentinel was thrown in a prison with Starscream or not, and while be forced on cleaning duty, he finds Sunder in a isolation cell. Their first conversation would probably be Sentinel prime secretly eating energon he snuck and then hears a strangers voice.

Sentinel secretly took out his two small energon treats, he secretly hid it because he took an extra energon which is not allowed. As he starts eating one of his energon treats, he hears a voice, "May I please have some?". Sentinel suddenly startled, started to look everywhere. He wanted to shout 'who's there!' but was scared the guards would be alerted. "I'm in front of you". Sentinel then looks at the heavy front cell, he was met with two blue optics staring right at him. He felt intimidated. "Sorry that I scared you, I just saw you eating a energon treat. And I haven't been fed for some time. The guards are very cruel towards me. They are willing to starve me".

Sentinel didn't want to share his other energon to whoever this mech was but he thought that if he didn't give his energon treat to this mech, but he felt for some reason to scared to object to this mech. Having a frown expression, he decides to give away his other energon. "Here just give it in this small line opening", said the strange mech. Sentinel then started to feel scared, he felt that the mech was going to snatch his servo and hurt it. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, at least I don't have the intention to" said the strange mech in a teasing tone. Sentinel slowly puts his servo close to the opening, feeling more scared by the moment, and then he feels the other mechs hand touch his, Sentinel suddenly felt paralyze. Getting ready to feel pain but it never came, for the other mech grab the energon treat. Sentinel immediately pulled his servo back and put it close to his chest.

He hears the other mech sloppily munching on his energon treat. Sentinel thought it was a disgusting noise. The noises stop, meaning the other mech was done eating. Sentinel was about to leave but the voice stop him. "What's your name? From your frame, I don’t think you belong with people like us". Sentinel didn't want to give his true name, Starscream have advise that giving out their real resignations would mean a lot of trouble. So Sentinel use his fake name, "My name is Sp-99" . Yes, his fake name was from Jazz nickname to him. Sentinel doesn't know but the other mech knew he was lying but didn't say anything. "Sp-99 huh? Strange since it's been so long to hear those type of names". Sentinel immediately sweatdrops, "Well what can I say, I'm just a average mech, I-uh-don't seem desperate to change it-I just love my name that much!" said Sentinel while nervously smiling. The other mech gives a small laugh due to the blue mech's nervous energy. "Well the name is Sunder. Thank you for the treat. Hopefully I'll get to see you more". 'Well hopefully that never happens!' Sentinel thought. "Yeah, well I got to go and clean cause of the guards, you know". "Yes, goodbye Sp-99", said Sunder in a contented voice. "Goodbye Sunder" said Sentinel in a fake happy tone and immediately speed walk away from the door. Sentinel never wants to talk this Sunder, the mech gives major creepy vibes. It really sucks he give out his other treat, he really was looking forward to eating both. Sentinel just sighs in frustration.

Sunder watches "Sp-99" scurry away. Sunder is drawn to the blue mech, he finds him entertaining. Sunder will make sure to see him more often. Something about that mech is different and has some type of potential. A sinister smile appears on Sunder's face.

"Public domain Sunder" outside of Tumblr (How my project art runs away)

This is NOT a general Sunder! As cool as he looks, he belongs to me and Mynametia/ Inishira (Instagram)!

I want to talk about how reposted art causes harm. It has been stressful to see and I hope fellow artists can sympathize or empathize. And please, if you base art off this Sunder, credit the project Transformers: Mercy!

Firstly, I've heard both "you're niche and unknown" or "you have a big following so watch your mouth"

It feels mean either way... :( Like the jab takes whatever stance is most convenient.

Bottom line: I don't consider myself special. I am just a very hard worker. The only reason I have gotten as far as I have was my hours of daily work for years on my project and YouTube channel.

I am awed when I reflect on how far I have come. Growing my social media platforms, working with 100 different artists from all over the world, commissioning comic artists like Alex Milne and Livio Ramondelli for posters, getting interviewed, collabing, or having shoutouts on other YouTube channels, sitting on panels at TFcon in front of hundreds (although it was t e r r i f y i n g) and getting to talk to them about Transformers: Mercy! And this year, I will be selling Mercy merch at a table at TFcon in the art gallery!

So I don't think I am niche anymore... I don't think my project Transformers: Mercy is. Over the years it has become very widespread with art posted on blogs across social media platforms. As I will discuss, maybe too widespread in one wrong way.

But... there is a long way to go to completing the project. I have about 1000 images now. That's insane! This is no tiny lil project. And I am gunning for 1000s more to make this TFP fan-made sequel. But, I have to pay so so much out of pocket despite making less than minimum wage most months. I need a lot of support to make this big dream possible. Thank you to all who have already helped me thus far.

I think I am just writing this post to clear the air. I am honoured deeply by fanart or fanfictions or fan animations people have created for Transformers: Mercy. It is very motivating and heartwarming and helps me keep up the pace of working hours every day on this project.

I don't mind inspiration being taken from my work. It is an honour. My project draws inspiration from James Roberts' MTMTE and would be nothing without his appealing takes on characters. We may critique MTMTE but where would we be without his Whirl, Rodimus, Drift, Ratchet, Pharma, Cyclonus, Tailgate, Chromedome, Rewind, Swerve, Overlord, DJD, etc.? I carried on from him, others may carry on from me.

A while back, I never meant offence when pointing out one animation of Sunder had features that looked eerily similar (to me) to the Sunder of my game. The reason I got a jolt of horror stems from the fact that this project has fallen victim to reposts on places like Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit, the fan wiki, and other TF forums with zero credit to me or the artists. The growing popularity of Mercy art has also caused it to appear in general searches for IDW or TFP characters. This is why if you search "Transformers Sunder concept art" you are likely to see Mercy Sunder right there but uncredited. So you would see our art but not know what it was for. And Mynametia/Inishira (the artist) did such a good job that it even looks like IDW concept art. It can be mistaken for official content.

But it's not. It was created for my project with very specific features to match my story. A project which costs so much of my time and money and it needs all the donations it can get. It is loses support when its art becomes popular with no tie back to this project. It is still a project in development and is therefore vulnerable.

Transformers: Mercy, after all the years, has become a famous project. But it is a struggling project due to the high financial cost. It is made with ok not blood, but real sweat and tears as I have pushed so hard to make it this far. It has been emotional. It even brought me the love of my life, my spouse.

I want to continue to work on it, the largest Transformers fan project that I believe has ever been attempted. But I need that support, that credit. It hurts when I use google/another search engine and search "Transformers Sunder concept art" and see our work totally visible to the public and not at all attached to Mercy. It then jumpscares me to see other people creating something that looks just like my creations. I see fanart that uses the face of my ghoul Sunder, the one-eyed purple-eyed version with a gaping black pit where the other eye should have been with a small white light within (or the other specific features I requested for Mercy Sunder).

It feels like my ideas are running away from me.

I do not believe anything was done with intent to harm or any malice or spite. I did not believe my project art had been knowingly stolen by any animator or fan artist of Sunder. But when I wrote my post in response to one animation, I did believe that Mercy Sunder had been seen and used as an inspiration because he does appear in general Sunder searches on the Internet. So this is where I came from and why I felt compelled to step in at the time.

I hope I have expressed myself better than last time and I just would like to voice that not this artist/ animator I first reblogged, but other people have reposted Mercy Sunder and caused him to become like.... public domain? Please, I just want it to be known that what you see on search engines, forums, wikis.... was taken from my project. Please do not base your Sunders on that art without crediting Transformers: Mercy and Inishira (Instagram or X).

I hope all the artists here can imagine the feeling of distress I feel seeing credit and support fly away from me and that talented artist, Inishira (who designed Mercy Overlord, Sunder, Crankcase, Fulcrum, Misfire, Krok, Spinister, Waspinator (bug form), and angel Starscream).

I don't want drama or a public back and forth. I seek amicable relationships going forth. Please be very mindful and go back to add in credits if you realize you used this Sunder design as a reference!

[serene-faerie]

In my opinion, the ideal way to adapt the entire Silmarillion is through a multi-season anime, with each major event being made into an arc

Like:

The Ainulindalë Arc: the Music of the Ainur, the Two Lamps, and the Battle of the Powers

The Journey to Aman Arc: the Awakening of the Elves at Cuiviénen, the Creation of Orcs, the Sundering of the Teleri, Thingol and Melian's meeting in Nan Elmoth, etc.

The Years of the Trees Arc: the life of Fëanor, the creation of the Silmarils, Melkor's corruption of the Noldor, etc.

The Darkening of Valinor Arc: the death of Finwë, the destruction of the Two Trees, the Oath of Fëanor, and the First Kinslaying

The First Battle Arc: the First Battle of Beleriand, the Flight of the Noldor, Fëanor's death, Maedhros's capture

The Sun and Moon Arc: the Coming of Men, Finrod's friendship with the House of Bëor, Fingon's rescue of Maedhros, the Mereth Aderthad

The Glorious Battle Arc: the Dagor Aglareb, the construction of Gondolin, Thingol learning of the First Kinslaying, etc.

The Long Peace Arc: Aredhel leaving Gondolin and her encounter with Eöl, the birth of Maeglin, their escape to Gondolin, etc.

The Dagor Bragollach Arc: the Dagor Bragollach, Finrod's rescue by Barahir, the Fall of Fingolfin, the Outlaws of Barahir, etc.

The Quest for the Silmaril Arc: the story of Beren and Lúthien, of course

The Nirnaeth Arnoediad Arc: the lead-up to, and the actual Battle of Unnumbered Tears

The Children of Húrin Arc: Húrin's capture and curse, and the story of Túrin Turambar, of course

The Second Kinslaying Arc: Thingol's death, the Battle of the Thousand Caves, Dior's ascension to Doriath, and the Second Kinslaying

The Fall of Gondolin Arc: Tuor's quest to Gondolin, his romance with Idril, Maeglin's betrayal, Eärendil's birth and childhood, and the city's destruction

The Havens of Sirion Arc: the meeting of Eärendil and Elwing, their childhood together, their eventual marriage, and the births of Elrond and Elros

Eärendil's Voyage Arc: the Third Kinslaying, Elwing's transformation into a bird, Eärendil's voyage to Aman, and their plea to the Valar for aid

The War of Wrath Arc: the War of Wrath, the defeat of Morgoth, the reclaiming of the Silmarils, the choice of Elrond and Elros, the death of Maedhros, etc.

Basically, a Silmarillion anime would give One Piece a run for its money based on length, lol. And it would be even better if it was done by the studio that did Spy x Family, since their animation style is absolutely beautiful.

I would watch the hell out of a Silm anime!

[just-a-moray-eel]

It's close to midnight, can't sleep. Kept thinking about transformers characters. Look at this bastard(/affectionate)

Look at him being devious. He's so fucking hot. I just wanna kiss him and hug him. I wanna keep him, like a very beloved rabid animal that will kill me in my sleep. And I guess Getaway's there too /j

Just imagine though, being Sunder's delusional little human. And instead of being scared of him or reacting in anyway like a normal human being, you just cheer him on. Like, sitting on his shoulder or in the sidelines, watching fondly as he acts out his devious crimes. Enabling his crazy rather than stopping him(not like you can even if you tried as a single human). He's just being silly, let him be himself!

[picaroroboto]

I've been wanting for a little while to talk about Pandaemonium, and about Hermes, and what I think these two topics have to do with each other, so here goes. The whole time I was playing the story in Pandae, I kept thinking that I wish I could tell Hermes about all this. For one, because Hermes expresses that he feels he's the only one emotionally suffering, yet here is Erichthonios also clearly going through some shit, so maybe they could find some sort of solidarity together.

For two, because I feel Pandae proves Hermes right in his criticisms of the Ancient world. It's essentially every single flaw of their world in microcosm! Let me try to explain:

To start, let's review Hermes and his problems:

This is from the conversation with him after you show him the Elpis flower changing color for you. He expresses the sympathy he feels for creations, and how being forced to put them down for the sake of the star puts him in this ethical crisis. The entire Ancient world is built around this idea of "for the sake of the star" at the expense of all else, including the lives of their creations and their own individual emotions. Because of this, Hermes feels all the more isolated, as if he's the only one who ever feels bad or questions the foundation of their society.

There is something very, very twisted about the fact that Pandaemonium lies geographically below Elpis, the Hell to its symbolic Eden or Heaven. At the very moment Hermes is crying over having to put down dangerous creations, even more dangerous creations are being kept alive in a hellish gothic prison replete with chains and cages.

As I traveled through Pandaemonium, I also kept thinking "Why is it a prison?" Why does such a place even need to exist? As we find out in Anabaseios, the concept of it being a place to research dangerous creations is a cover story, it's more or less Athena's personal laboratory for her to pursue her goal of godhood. I've seen people praise Athena for being a more shallow and simple villain than Emet-Selch for example, but she's not just a megalomaniac:

"I am no different from our peers" is soooo telling. Her obsession with remaking mankind in her image isn't just a selfish madness, it's the ideals of the Ancients, their obsession with making perfect creations for the sake of the star, taken to it's furthest and most insane conclusion! (also note the irony in her belief that a goddess would remake the species better, when Hydaelyn, the only true goddess in the setting, chose to preserve them as they are. Arguably even making them worse by Sundering).

So Athena takes her duty to the star way too far, Lahabrea sees that she's become a danger to the star for it, and kills her, then cuts off the Hephiastos side of himself - another example of how ruthless the Ancients can be and how they justify anything for the sake of the star. Because the Ancients also place a low importance on emotion, he never talks to Erichthonios about Athena. Feeling neglected by his father and curious about his mother, Erich is lead deeper into Pandaemonium and made even more vulnerable to Athena's manipulations. So even if it was one woman's madness that spawned the action in Pandae, the other flaws of Ancient society serve to perpetuate and exacerbate it.

It's also worse mentioning that for Pandae being a prison for dangerous creations, you actually fight more transformed Ancients and corrupted Warders than you do actual animals. As my brother put it in his own meta, Pandae isn't a case of "inmates running the asylum" as much as it is the power that the Warders wield over their creations corrupting them. Athena is indirectly behind the Warder's transformations, but she also took advantage of vulnerabilities that were already there, like Hesperos's fixation on Lahabrea.

And the same obsession with perfect creations for the sake of the star, the abuse of the power over life and death, continues to characterize the Ancients after the Sundering, with the way Emet and the Ascians ruthlessly Rejoin Shards in order to bring back their "perfect" world. But what Elpis and Pandaemonium prove is that the idea of the Ancient world as a paradise is little more than Emet's grief and nostalgia talking. Hermes may have triggered the Final Days, but I feel the blame for destroying "paradise" doesn't lie entirely on him - his crisis was layered on top of myriad flaws with the world he lived in, flaws he felt he didn't have the freedom to talk about because everyone else believed the world was perfect.

Any world where people can't question the foundation of their society is very far from perfect. A world where people ruthlessly wield power over others, both creations and other people, in favor of a grand goal is no paradise. A world in which prisons exist is no paradise.

If my tone started to sound a bit vengeful there, it's because I sympathize deeply with Hermes, and can't help but feel a bit vindicated on his behalf when I think that Pandaemonium proves him right and Emet-selch wrong. But even after I've spent all this time tearing into the Ancient world, I feel like I have to remind both myself and any readers that the point of the conflict between the Ancient and Sundered world in FF14 isn't to objectively compare them and decide which is better and which is worse. Such pragmatism would be in-character for an Ancient, but we don't have to subscribe to their views. Think about it - even if the Ancient world was proven to be a true paradise, we'd still choose our broken world over it, because returning would cost too many lives, and because we love our world not because it is perfect but because it is ours.

The choice is just made a little easier by all this proof that their world was never as perfect as they said it was.

PIGLIN 

Racial abilities:

Type Medium Monstrous Humanoids(Orc subtype)

Speed 30ft

Senses Darkvision 60ft

Ability Score Modifiers +2STR -2INT

Gold scent: Piglin can detect any golden material and sense their status within 60ft. This effect functions like the spell Detect Metal but only on gold.

Greed: +2 bonus on Appraise checks to determine the price of nonmagical goods that contain precious metals or gemstones. This bonus increases of a +2 if they are made of Gold.

Piglin skills: Craft (Gold), Handle animal, Perception, Survival are always class skills for Piglins.

Orc Ferocity: Once per day, when a member of this race is reduced to fewer than 0 hit points but is not killed, it can fight on for 1 more round as if disabled. At the end of its next turn, unless brought to above 0 hit points, it immediately falls unconscious and begins to die.

Frenzy: Once per day, whenever a member of this race takes damage, it flies into a frenzy for 1 minute, gaining a +2 racial bonus to Constitution and Strength, but a –2 penalty to AC.

Weapon Familiarity: Piglins are proficient with Battleaxe, Heavy Crossbow, Longsword, Pickaxe.

Limited telephaty: Piglins possess a crude but efficient form of telephaty. While they cannot use it to perform conversations, they can sense the general emotions of their kin(only of other Piglins) and understand them reacting as a single unit in front of danger. This effect is constant as long as the Piglin is conscious and links any Piglins within 50ft with each other.

Unnatural Fear: Piglins are automatically afraid of all forms of undead Piglin, undead Hoglin and Soul Fire sources(magical and not) and they will never come close to these.(treat this effect as a Fear spell)

Overworld curse: Any Piglin that leaves the Nether will turn into a zombie version of itself within 3 turns with no saves. This effect can be halted only with a Wish or Miracle spell for 1 round. These spells can also be used to return transformed Piglins into their normal forms.

Languages: Piglins begin to speak Orc. Those with higher score in Intelligence can choose from the following languages: Common, Ignan, Abyssal, Giant, Alko, Undercommon and Necril.

Background: Piglins are brutish, greedy, primitive, yet united, inhabitants of the Nether. They live in various locations of the crimson landscape but never in a Soul valley. The Piglins live a nomadic-hunter-gatherer tribe life-style, never still for too long but from time to time setting in a ruined Bastion or a Nether fortress which they consider a monument of their glorious days of the past. They are very superstitious and afraid and keep a distance from Soul fire which traps the very souls of the victim(or so they think). They also run away from any version of themselves that has been turned into a zombie. It is said that in the past there were many wars and at the peak of their civilization, the Piglins invaded the Overworld causing havoc and plundering the land: resources were taken, inhabitants were enslaved, cities turned into rubble, obsidian portals opened everywhere in the land. Mighty fortresses of gold, quartz and blackstone towered in the Nether as testament to their might… however, one day it all crumbled to dust as the very gods cast a curse upon the Piglins: If they ever dared to return, the very land would sunder their being and strip them of any form of life for they greedily stole too much in the past. And so they walk, sometimes equipped with gold equipments and barely remembering the days of old, yet obsessed with gold and willing to do anything to get more… 

Half-Breeds: Since in the past they did breed with some of the inhabitants of the Overworld, it can happen that a half-breed(half-orc) is born: more intelligent, devoid of the curse of undeath and free to walk any obsidian portal(s) it might find. However, these half-breed are rare and usually removed or offered in tribute to their god in order to keep their purity and/or removing pretenders for the seat of chieftain. These Piglins loses the racial trait curse, their limited telephaty, and their unnatural fear. Their weapon familiarity changes as they are proficient only with battleaxes and longswords.

Physical appearance and personality: Piglins are muscular powerful humanoids with tusks, pig-like faces and features. They wear simple, rugged leather clothes but they seek to get gold as soon as possible to build their weapons and armors. Piglins, are obsessed with gold as it is the only thing to show their status: The more gold one has, the more his status is considered higher, until someone steals it, or worst. Wearing gold armor and giving gold items to Piglins is the only known way to stop their territorial rampage and they will give you something in return(that is not gold). To survive the harsh Nether they learned a few tricks: like how to squeeze water out of mushrooms or Nether wart. No matter what, they are always ready to barter as they are to steal, kill, betray or hunt. Sometimes, they manage to gather into a fortress of old like a Bastion, where they organize and gather their loot. However, these organized groups are short lived as their hierarchy is as fragmented as their long lost empire. One always tries to topple the other and while they try to grow their children they also engage in hunting/training Hoglins or seeking resources while at it. Be forewarned, for they will consider even the gold in a wall theirs as a sort of a “secret stash” only to have another Piglin yell that it was his causing a massive rampage. They worship various spirits of fire, strength, war, riches and death that are all the same God, their creator. However, even these cults disappear as they appear… like a flame flickering in the dark. Overall, they are greedy, warlike, superstitious, survivalist pig-like humanoids that still will protect their clans with a ferocity that cannot be measured with words.

Geeeez, that 'Ruby filling in an empty grave' callback has me all but sold on this 'hi kids I'm Things' proposal. Pointless sidebar: any thoughts on General Rose's outfit/weapon changes since the tree flashback, or is she doing the 'makeovers are for Less Busy People' thing?

i think she should carry on the venerable team strq tradition of not changing her clothes for fourteen years /j

doylistically i doubt they’ll change her design up too much other than maybe some small alterations to suggest the passage of time a la rhodes. (unless there’s a switch to new animation software accompanying the jump to a new home, in which case models have to be redone anyway. but as long as they stick with maya, best to get their money’s worth out of the character model they have)

in an ideal pretend world where rwby has infinite money and time to do whatever hell it wants and go nuts with giving characters a realistic variety of outfits, i imagine summer’s wardrobe would evolve in a similar way to rwby’s from v1-3 -> v4-6 -> v7-8, because 1. no more pressure to look like a perfect storybook hero all the time, and 2. is the grown up child soldier perhaps a little alienated from her own preferences in similar ways to, say, cinder?

all of her design explorations are really good:

i like B and D the best (although it is really funny to me how much B looks like a mashup of beacon/atlas cinder in ruby’s palette) so i’m a bit biased here but i think if summer does end up getting a new outfit, it’ll be something in the vein of one of Those, because both of them feel like plausible fourteen years later evolutions of her v9 fit.

sundered rose. well i hope someone who’s held a rifle before tweaks the design to fix the Not Meant For Human Hands grip and trigger. brgdfxgvk it makes me go ARGH! the same way jaune’s and ozma’s ��PLEASE stab me in the shoulder please pleaseplease” armor situations do. and i’m really desperate to see it in action bc i am morbidly curious about the axe-to-rifle transform. but i don’t think it’ll change in any obvious ways
