Workin on Soundblaster for a server I’m in! He is heavily HEAVILY inspired by blueey-jayzilla’s design and is purely just for like fun roleplay with friends

[jolyne-best-jojo]

What Stands I think the Logical Proposals wavewave family would have:

Soundwave: Hermit Purple. This one's pretty easy, it's got everything a wave of sound could want: break a camera and get photos of a picture anywhere in the world, have a screen to project onto and read minds, just use the vines on a TV screen and get a message like "x is a traitor". Or Moody Blues since being able to see and hear what happened to a singular person would make for great intell depending on who it is.

Shockwave: Gold Experience. Shockwave would love having it, funding becomes a far smaller issue if he can grow the body parts himself. Not to mention the research he'd do testing the limits, how big can the being he grows be relative to the original objects mass? Can he grow an extinct species? And he'd love finding these things out.

Ravage: Harvest. Being the only responsible child is hard, much easier when you have 500 tiny buggers to keep watch on everyone.

Buzzsaw: Kraft Work. Given his weapon building I feel like he'd find some use for being able to store however much kinetic energy in an object he desires then release it all at once.

Laserbeak: Mr. President. With the caveat that he just had the user on him at all times. Laserbeak wants a nap, just pull out Mr. President, hide it, and take a nap in the key room, he can even fill it with all his favourite blankets.

Rumble & Frenzy: Star Platinum & The World. This one's the most obvious, SP and TW stop time for 5 seconds, that's 5 seconds of free prank set up.

Enemy: Survivor. Probably a bit too surface level for his character but it makes sense. He wants enemies, Survivor makes everyone around him so mad they start beating each other to death.

Flip Sides: Sticky Fingers. It's got a pocket dimension to explore long range travel purposes with (idk if it can do that but presumably if Sticky Fingers opened a zipper in one place then went hundreds of miles away and opened another they should connect) and I think Flips would find that interesting.

Beastbox: Man in the Mirror. So long as he has a mirror shard with him he can hide away in the mirror world whenever he's feeling overwhelmed and come back when he feels better.

Slugfest: Pearl Jam. He may not be a cook, but given the positive effects Pearl Jam has on the consumers he'd absolutely learn how to cook to give healing meals to refugees.

Squawktalk: Bohemian Rhapsody. I don't know if It works if it's only audio but it turns fiction to life and what better way to tell your stories then making them real? (Just ignore the part where people are forced to play a part in the stories, usually the one who dies)

Garboil: Earth, Wind and Fire. Technically not a stand (but maybe it is who knows) the shapeshifting would be really handy for painting, don't wanna use a picture or just memory to base a drawing on? Just shapeshift into what you wanna draw.

Overkill: Scary Monsters. It can turn people into dinosaurs. He'd finally have Dino friends that the Autobots don't steal away before begging to hand them back. (Targets of it retain their sentience right? I can't remember)

Howlback: Killer Queen. This isn't because of the fact it's a cat, nor is it about it being able to turn objects into bombs or its tertiary bomb Bites the Dust being able to rewind time an hour. No, this is about Sheer Heart Attack being indestructible and as such the perfect thing to enjoy biting to no end, and honestly what more does Howlback even want in life?

Ratbat: Kiss. Sure, the duplicated objects crash back together after the sticker comes off, but so long as that happens long after he sells them it's not his problem.

Wingthing: I'mma be real, I got nothing, he got killed in the great cassette culling of chapter 36 and he was introduced in that chapter. Weather Report? Because he wanted to know how rain works?

Motormaster: Those are the Recordicons?

Soundwave: Yes.

Motormaster: In tiny berths. Beside YOUR berth.

Soundwave: Yes.

Motormaster: That’s pretty embarrassing.

Soundwave: You’re right. I must get them bigger berths.

Dear, Vector Prime.

We have seen a Cybertronian named "Garboyl" that looks exactly like the AOE Wal-Mart 2 pack Strafe.

Are there similar examples in Grimlock and Slug?

Dear Dinosaur Devoted,

Indeed. During one iteration of the Beast Wars, the veteran warrior Grimlock was upgraded by the quantum surge into a new Transmetal form, alongside the rest of the Maximals and Predacons. A bot out of time, frustrated by the fact that he didn’t recognise anyone, Grimlock was a thorn in the side of both factions, attempting to woo Terrorsaur and Dinobot into forming a third breakaway group.

Things were complicated by the arrival of the rogue Predacon Magmatron and his Dinobots. Grimlock was elated to meet these saurian warriors, and Magmatron capitalized on this by tricking Grimlock into thinking his crew were none other than his old teammates Swoop and Slag from the Great War—when in fact, they were the evil Predacons Garboyl and Cindersaur! Naturally, the ruse didn’t last long; their cruel behavior quickly outed them, along with the fact that neither could remember what they were supposed to be called.

In the end, Grimlock teamed up with Dinobot to send them packing; he later called the Maximal the only “true Dinobot” left, and formally aligned himself with the faction. Though they were unable to use Magmatron’s ship to escape the planet—as it was destroyed by Scorponok and Scavenger, after they failed to secure it for the Predacons—Grimlock played a key part in the Maximals’ eventual victory.

Laserbeak is red?

I'm writing a fic in which I'm shipping Laserbeak (red) with Ramjet and the other guitar-condor (what's a cassette?) that mostly but non-exclusively hangs out with Wave is Garboil (blue). And even though I haven't gotten to a part where the full expanse and explicitness (if you will) of this is revealed I'm anticipating that this is a blasphemy and that some hypothetical reader will reject this and pretend that Laserbeak is the blue one and Garboil is red.

And we've been here before.

But then I realized, some other Laserbeaks are blue. A blue bird that can attach to Wave's chest? That's just TFP Laserbeak. Why can't I just make that one be named Laserbeak?

So then who is the red Skeksis that likes ener-tea and hangs out with Ramjet? That's not Garboil, right? That's Laserbeak, like in that movie. Except also a guitar.

Never mind the ancient myth about Buzzsaw (yellow) being default condor.

Continuing off the previous ask.

Soundwave has arrived to the place Kaguya is and has deployed all of his Mini-cassettes.

Along with Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Red One, Blue One, and Ratbat, Soundwave summons the rest of his Mini-cassettes that the Riders didn't know about: Autoscout, Beastbox, Enemy, Flip Sides, Garboil, Glit, Howlback, Overkill, Slugfest, Squawktalk, Sundor, Uraid, Uruaz, and Wingthing.

Soundwave gets a call from the Riders (the Riders were able to call thanks to the smarter ones making a communication device to get) and tell him not to kill Kaguya and just capture him but Soundwave tells that he understands the concern, but he sees Kaguya as a threat because of kidnapping Houtaro and Rinne along with this being his first exposure to Kaguya and he automatically assumes he's some type of villain. Soundwave takes the original six with him to fight Kaguya, while sending the others to surround the outside of the room in the case he needs them in his fight.

Meanwhile inside the wedding hall, Kaguya is monologuing to Houtaro and Rinne on why he did what he did and how he is going to kill Rinne and marry Houtaro right afterwards, but just as he points the Legend Ride Magnum at Rinne to shoot her, Soundwave bursts into room in vehicle mode and punches Kaguya away as he transforms into robot mode. Kaguya, annoyed that his plans are being ruined by a "filthy" Cybertronian, transforms into Kamen Rider Legend to fight and kill Soundwave so that his wedding can go on without any issues. The two fight with Soundwave using his multiple weapons and Kaguya using all of his legend Rider powers but despite Kaguya's access to the legend Rider powers, Soundwave is able to beat Kaguya because of his 4 million years of experience and the Mini-cassettes. Soundwave uses his tentacles to remove the Legendriver and as Kaguya gets up, he is faced with the barrel of Soundwave's arm blaster. Soundwave tells that this the end of his story and that he's about the feel the consequences of his, but just as he says this, Kaguya breaks down into tears, pleading for Soundwave not to kill him because he didn't know what he was doing and that he's just a little boy and didn't to harm people. Soundwave, not even believing any of that, decides to still go through with killing Kaguya, but before he shoots, Houtaro tells Soundwave to stop because Kaguya is a friend and that this wrong for an Autobot to do this. Soundwave hears Houtaro's pleas and puts away his blaster because he follows the command of the Gotchard cast and cares for their well-being.

What are the Rider's reaction to all of this information and events. All's well that ends well right?

Unbeknownst to everyone there, they are in danger as three jets with Decepticon logos heading towards their location to take back Soundwave and kill the Riders that are there.

...Geez louise are you dumping a whole crossover fanfic on me now 😂 I honestly have no idea what to make from all of this now

Transformers: Mosaic #139 - "The Loner"

deviantART | Seibertron | TFW2005 | BotTalk

wada sez: A rare story focusing on the Cobalt Sentries, a pair of e-HOBBY-exclusive Recordicon characters based on some unused Micro Change color schemes for these molds. Howlback later took on the distinction of being the first transgender Transformer—leaving aside the absolute hack job Simon Furman did with Arcee—so that David Willis could back-port her into Marvel continuity. Garboil’s never really done anything, though; his most memorable roles were probably also courtesy of Willis, who made up a Beast Wars “Garboyl” to poke fun at the trend of retconning Beast Wars characters as being the same individuals as their G1 namesakes. The art here is interesting to me; it looks like it’s been traced from photos of the toys. Garboil is drawn without his weapons/jets. The Autobots appear to just be generics. WIP art below.

feat Garboil

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

do you have any speculations on what kind of animals forms that the mini cassettes have? Specifically Laserbeak, Ravage, Howlback etc. I haven't seen any mentions about it on wiki pages.

I interpret this as you asking what Earth animals inspired their forms.

Ravage is a black panther

Ratbat is of course a bat, more specifically a fruit bat

Laserbeak and Buzzsaw look like griffon vultures to me

Ramhorn is a rhino

Stripes is a tiger (even his page say he’s a nitro tiger)

Steeljaw looks like a damn lion to me since it looks like he has a mane

Howlback seems like the same model as Ravage, which is a black panther

Beastbox looks like a gorilla and the wiki even says he resembles an ape

Garboil is the same as Laserbeak and Buzzsaw

Glit is a panther

Overkill is a t-rex or something similar

Slugfest is a stegosaurus

god theres so... many birds... thank you recordicons for murdering me with birdbrains

The Blue Apple of Discord

For details on these characters, please read the TFWiki’s article on the Cobalt Sentries.

“I don’t understand why this is taking so long. We should just kill him.”

Garboil rolled his eyes. He had gone through so much effort to set up this presentation. An enormous screen, dimmed lights, his findings rranged in just the perfect way to create proper tension. And the only thing he  was getting back from Howlback was boredom.

“Please, Howlback,” the bird-like Decepticon replied. “We can’t just show up and eliminate one of the most prominent members of the Mayhem Attack Squad.”

Howlback didn’t even look at him. “You just showed me evidence of Carnivac commiserating with known Autobots. Besides, that whole group is full of insubordinate fools. Their leader has openly stated his dissatisfaction with Megatron. We would well within our jurisdiction to arrest the lot of them.”

Garboil let out a “feh” of annoyance.

“While I do appreciate you downgrading yourself from ‘murder’ to arrest,” he began, “this work is all about subtlety. We are considered the ‘Decepticon secret police’ for a reason.”

This time, Howlback finally looked at him, the panther-bot’s mouth curling into a visibly fanged growl. “Don’t lecture me about ‘our work’, buzzard,” she snarled. “I’m the one out there risking my tail, while you’re lurking in your nest, safe as you’re busy pouring over data and crafting your pathetic little lies.”

Garboil narrowed his optics. The tension he felt from Howlback suddenly pitched higher, and it took everything he had to keep from showing visible fear. “Forgive me,” he said, curtly. “I simply wish to avoid galvanizing those who might rise up against lord Megatron. Carnivac is... popular. If we simply act, he can claim the case against him is fabricated. This will bring him supporters, and I’m quite certain Bludgeon will also make an effort to spin it to his advantage.”

Howlback stared at him for a moment, before letting out a snort, turning her head away. “Fine,” she said. “I can see the wisdom in that. But that still doesn’t answer the question of what we should do.”

Her fellow Sentry’s head drooped. “No, I suppose it doesn’t,” he said, bitterly.

A period of tense silence followed, as both Recordicons stood there, unsure of what to say. After a moment though, Howlback’s optics widened, and she looked back at the screen.

“We drive a wedge between them,” she said.

Garboil cocked his head to the side. “Pardon?”

“If the issue is Carnivac getting support, and that Bludgeon will try to spin it to his advantage, then we should try to make them each a liability to the other,” Howlback replied. “This information you gathered, can you ensure that it reaches Bludgeon’s hands?”

Garboil found himself stunned. After a moment, he breathed, “Brilliant,” before continuing: “I can do better than that. I have video and audio of Carnivac’s meeting with the Autobots. It should be a simple matter of editing the dialogue to make it appear they’re conspiring against Bludgeon.”

Howlback’s expression twisted into a fanged smile. “Ah yes, you are ‘the everpresent wordstealer’, after all. Such a talent you have, my friend.”

Garboil preened. “It’s a gift,” he said, in perfect imitation of Howlback’s own voice.

The two shared a laugh together. And with that, they continued to scheme together and build ways to bring down not one, but two potential targets.

It was thankless work, but they enjoyed it. And ultimately, wasn’t it better for someone to do what they truly loved?

This was a request prompt by Tindalos on the Allspark Discord.
