After Earthspark came Robots in Disguise 2001, so here are the current doodles I've done whilst watching

Shark-Byte is such a goofball. I love him!!

Each doodle took about an hour.

[skylarkking]

So... I discovered something.

Darkscream from the RID 2001 series and Starscream from TFP share a voice actor.

This fucker

And this fuckef

Are the same God damn dude. I need a moment.

Well we lost Peter Spellos to cancer, so in memory of him, he’s his most popular role: Sky-Byte!

The reason I included other Predacons was because I always wanted to see more Predacons beyond the trio and Sky-Byte, and Prowl, Iguanus, Optimus Minor were my mold picks along with Ramulus, Sonar, Jawbreaker (the Transmetal II not the Terran to clarify), and in particular, the BWII Seacons who are old friends of Sky-Byte in this scenario.

Thanks for making the Orion one! Can you now do a twin reader with D-16? reader is a sweet bot and helps him as they both cover Orion from his shenanigans. Reader can sense D's anger when Sentinel's betrayal is revealed and tries to be the calming presence. Maybe reader becomes too horrified by his actions when he becomes Megatron and stays with Optimus.

More than meets the eye Pt 2

I'm very happy that you enjoyed the Orion headcanons. Brian Tyree Henry stole the show as D-16. Warning: Spoilers

You and D-16 have been thick as thieves since you started working down in the mines on IACON, Meeting Orion pax along the way when he complemented the Megatronus prime sticker.

You were always a sweet calming figure for D, always reassuring him when something got a little out of hand, especially with Orion's shenanigans.

"Take a deep breath for me" You said calmly as you helped D do so. "Now, I understand what happened was concerning, but it was out of our control"

"You're right... You're right" he nodded, looking up at you with a soft smile.

You always helped cover for the two when Jazz got trapped down in the mines or when you three entered the race even though you couldn't transform.

"Grrr Miners !!!" Darkscream was furious that he had to deal with you three again.

"Sup scream, Long time no see" You chuckled as you stood up for the two.

But when you went up to the surface and learnt the truth about Sentinel Prime, You could sense something was wrong with D.

You noticed that he became a little more unstable, more irrational and more angry...

"D we can stop him, You just have to trust us"

"They took everything from us y/n !! Our whole lives were a lie !!"

And when you got back to IACON, you were horrified when you watched as D dropped into the planet's core and ripped Sentinel in half.

You could hear his followers chanting 'Hail Megatron !!'

When Orion came back as Optimus Prime, he defeated Megatron.

"Go... Take the high guard and leave... You are banished from IACON."

"This isn't over... prime !"

Megatron began to walk, But he looked back seeing you stood alongside Optimus, Making up your mind. You were staying.

He felt hurt... even more... his own twin.

He will rise again, Make you see the true way of the Decepticons.

So, while these are all, like, the more main ones that I’ve mentioned, so many more TF characters are in this Continuity- almost all of them, tbh.

So, if anybody is wondering about one that hasn’t been listed yet, feel free to ask, and I’ll give some info.

Darkscream: Hey Skybyte, what are you doing?

Skybyte, taking a Buzzfeed quiz to see what type of toast he is: Leader stuff.

[evilgarfielddotcom]

Hello transformers hyperfixation 😎

Anyways

[alucardy2000]

Group shot appreciation post!

[plasticsparkphotos]

You will glide eternal! Shiny and chrome!

[tenthdynasty]

sky-byte learns, the predacons laugh, and we fade out

Sky-Byte: What sort of nonsense is this? It was the best of times, it was the worst of times? Best or worst? Make up your mind!

Slapper: Does Sky-Byte really think he’s gonna learn how to understand humans by reading that stuff?

Sky-Byte: To be or not to be? This guy can’t make up his mind, either! Ugh…

Slapper: It’s not gonna work!

Dark Scream: Of course not.

Gas Skunk: Humans are all crazy.

Predacons: *laugh for a solid 11 uninterrupted seconds*

[galvatronsthighs]

Galvatron: *compliments the Predacons*

The Predacons:

[autoacafiles]

(Savin’ “Predacons” for later)

[wemblingfool]

With Beast Wars triumphant return, as well as Cheetor and Skybyte appearing in Cyberverse, and Barricade finally getting pulled out of the bayverse, it's really wonderful to see the G1 deathgrip finally beginning to loosen.

But there are still a ton of characters and designs who deserve to be rescued from obscurity. (Mine is by no means a complete list)

Beast Era- There was just so many, that if I don't limit myself, this list will be nothing but BW. Avoiding Beast Wars US show characters because they get 90% of the attention.

Razorbeast: Was just an empty toy-only character until Furman got ahold of him and did his typical magic to obscure toy only characters. Razorbeast was the best thing from IDW's terrible BW comic.

Botanica: The first (and only serious) plant TF. She would be amazing to see expanded.

Jetstorm: Like a bad gameshow host, Jetstorm was a joy to watch in Beast Machines. He also had a brilliant design that never got justice.

Hydra: From Beast Wars Neo, Hydra was a really lonely Predacon.

Killer Punch: Also from BW Neo, he was a conspiracy theorist on the level of The Question, or The Lone Gunmen. Imagine him sitting in his mother's basement (if Destrons/Predacons had mothers), blogging on the internet about how the original Megatron was secretly an autobot double agent.

Robots in Disguise- Everyone, honestly. Y'all really need to stop the RiD hate train. But here are the stand outs (for me)

Scourge: Is much more interesting a character than anything that's been done with "Nemesis Prime," since.

Gigatron: I go with Gigatron because IMO, he was much more interesting than his US Megatron version. Six modes and driven insane to the point of each mode having a unique personality.

The Predacon Trio: Darkscream, Slapper, and Gasskunk. Skybyte makes the occasional appearance recently. He needs his troops, who were fun enough on their own.

The Autobot Brothers: Sideburn, Prowl, and X-Brawn.

TAI: The best computer the autobots have. In any continuity.

Unicron Trilogy- The biggest continuity outside of the extended G1 continuity. As usual, too many to list.

Thunderblast: Not the most interesting toy, but she was a fun character

Shortround: Dude was a toy collector. He's one of us. He deserved to be brought back.

Brushguard: A decepticon botanist who loves old b-movies. What's not to love?

Ransack & Crumplezone: One of the most iconic duos in all TF

Landmine: We need more grumpy old robots, beyond Ironhide and Kup. Also, autobot construction vehicles are very rare.

Vector Prime: Amazing given how important he was/is, at how little he's been used since. The "multiversal singularity" thing was hands down one of the dumbest narrative moves, but that's no fault of Vector Prime's.

Override: She was an interesting design, and deserves to have more done with her.

Bayverse-

Blackout: neat design and a fairly blank character

Ransack: He's a friggin' biplane!

Sideswipe: same

"Daytrader": A Steve Buscemi transformer. Another Swindle-type character. He deserves to be rescued!

Crosshairs: Fairly big personality, which is rare for a bayverse TF, and an interesting design. I'd take him before G1 Crosshairs.

Animated- Just turn TF into animated for a few more years and I'll be happy. But, in terms of moving characters forward

Prowl: What's not to love? Peaceful nature loving ninja.

Bulkhead: A clumsy, sweet gentle giant with the soul of an artist. Everyone thinks he's an idiot, but he's the best spacebridge technician on Cybertron.

Sentinel Prime: Never been a more fun Sentinel, and never will be!

Lugnut: He just kinda got dumped.

Blitzwing: Would kill to see a future Blitzwing take after him instead of the dull as dirt G1 Blitzwing

Aligned- To be honest, i hate this trainwreck as much as I do Bayverse. But there are still concepts and characters worth salvaging

Knock Out: Dude was a blast. One of the only enjoyable things in TFP.

Soundwave: The only interesting Soundwave out there, imo.

Strongarm: She deserves moving forward

NuRiD Decepticons: Unique and fun designs, all of them! Would love to see Steeljaw and Bisk again!

Bumblebee- It is small. And it is broken. But it is still good... Yeah. Still good.

Shatter & Dropkick: Very much afraid these two will be quickly forgotten about and abandoned.

Cyberverse- it did a lot of new things with old characters. But it did bring some new and unique characters to the table.

Clobber: Sorta stole TFA Lugnut's design while being an amazing new character. She's something we've never seen before- a female big muscleheaded idiot brute. Female TFs are now becoming common enough that we're starting to get variety.

Wild Wheel: Nothing about him wasn't amazing. The show was cancelled before he even appeared, though.

Thunderhowl: Like Wild Wheel, didn't show up until Cyberverse was cancelled.

Hammerbyte: same

Botcon- While under Fun Publications, Botcon became nothing but milling out more G1. But under MiB and 3H, and even in FP's early days, they did give us some unique characters.

Fractyl & Packrat: I don't think there's a more iconic set of characters to Botcon than these two.

Shadow Striker & Roulette: Shadow Striker has gotten to move forward a bit. She appeared in the movie line, which that version was then the inspiration for Cyberverse Shadow Striker, but her sister has been all but forgotten.

Flareup: She's a very bubbly and upbeat personality, who happens to take an almost fiendish glee in blowing stuff up. She's the best thing FP ever did.

Landshark: One of the most hated FP characters, and I've never understood exactly why. He'd be brilliant if he got good fiction:

Landshark doesn't know where he got his name from and he doesn't really care. Some 'bots tend to confuse it with "Landmine", but once Landshark pulls his fist from their abdomen they don't seem to get it wrong anymore. Always the practical jokester and seen by his peers as a wiseguy, he often makes light of even the most dramatic situations. Once, he had one of his power claws ripped off of his body by a blood thirsty Narliphant. Landshark didn't fret about the situation; he simply turned to Flak and asked, "Can you give me a hand?"... Flak was not amused. Able to transform his auxiliary battle platform into a hydraulic booster pack, he has the strength to wield two massive power claws capable of ripping open an enemy's armor plating. This feature also gives him the ability to cling onto or climb up almost any structure. While in vehicle mode, Landshark enjoys intimidating, and then plowing down, anyone that stands in his way.

Like I said, these are all just scratching the surface. But these are all some of my most favorites.

Mirage’s Betrayal

((We open on a hole in the ground that would put the Grand Canyon to absolute shame.

Is this going to reference the G1 episode with a similar premise? I hope so. I like that episode.

Aah, the old ‘it was all a simulation’ trope…

Spychanger that I can’t yet name: Oh you know all the hand signals huh? Then what does this mean? *starts flailing his arm around*

Mirage: ‘Caution: Enemies nearby’. Also you look stupid.

Other Spychanger that I can’t yet name: He’s right…

That ruby is literally the size of the man guarding it what kind of monster gemstones does this Earth produce?!

Megatron always sounds like he’s screaming is his voice actor okay??

The Spychangers have some legitimately magical camouflaging tech like some of their hiding spots this episode break the laws of physics.

Did, uh, Darkscream forget that he can fly?

You’d think robots who transform into cars would be more prepared for a car chase.

Mirage made a perfectly valid decision to not shoot a couple of chemical tanks to avoid blowing up the entire city block and his team hopped on his case, leading to Mirage quitting and everyone but Ironhide agreeing that they were better off without him.

The Predacons are listening in on the fight between Mirage and the Spychangers like it’s the season finale of their favorite soap opera.

Ironhide is the only Spychanger who actually has any Primus-damned common sense in this episode.

Ironhide got pissed off and punched Mirage square in the faceplate, and then immediately apologized. I love him.

Skybyte cried because he thinks that Mirage is going to defect to the Predacons. Poor baby is gonna get his heart broken.

“This guy hears every little thing!” Well yeah Darkscream you’re two feet behind Skybyte of course he heard you.

Kelly never actually does take that vacation does she?

Darkscream: “We’ll pay you 20 shanix if you’ll defect to the Predacons and help us punch the Spychangers!”

Mirage: “I will pay you 20 shanix to let me punch the Spychangers.”

“Mirage has been acting a little strange lately” Hot Shot that is a gigantic understatement.

Mirage is pretty damn brave, standing with his back to a giant, Decepticon-controlled super-weapon like that…

None of these hand signals are subtle in the slightest how have the Predacons not picked up that something is amiss?

“We managed to contain the laser energy.” You didn’t contain scrap.

That’s….not at all how nuclear-thermal energy works, but okay….

Ironhide: “I’m sorry I hit you. I want you to hit me back so we’re even.”

Mirage: “You want me to hit you? Okay…” *winds up nice and big, only to lightly boop Ironhide on the nose*

Yay! They’re all friends again!))

[cyber-streak]

Skybyte, texting in the group chat: I wonder what Apple shots would look like?

Gas Skunk: *Sends a picture of a syringe with an apple slice shoddily edited inside.*

Dark Scream: *Sends a picture of a shot glass with an Apple poorly drawn inside.*

Slapper: *Sends a picture of person dunking a Basketball into the hoop but replaced the Basketball with a poorly resized apple.*

Skybyte: I hate all of you.
