#transformers hot Rod

[churino]

Design for greaser

The second in command and original founder of the hot rod patrol, many years ago he figured out something humanity would figure out for itself much later, that fire decals look awesome, he defines the hot rod patrol's sense of style

Greaser is the oldest member of the hot rod patrol, and is completely loyal to their leader big daddy, he sees her as his true sucessor, having turned his style into an ideology and a way of life, the hot rod patrol believes authority must be tested at all times if it's fit to lead, tough interestingly greaser doesn't seem all that willing to question big daddy's authority at all, a contradiction born from coming from a slightly older era? Or maybe he just has a soft spot for her.

Either way they lead the team with an "anything goes in the name of freedom" philosophy, they're mostly hands free but when they need to get their hands dirty Greaser is there to lift the weights and beat up other guys who think they can rub big daddy's paint He's also the team's field mechanic, though the team works for the wreckers they can't always rely on their expertise, so greaser is there to pick up the slack

His mechanical know-how is pretty avarage really, hes a blue-collar working guy, nothing spectacular the other members build off from his foundation. his personal beef with hot rod is that roddy borrowed 2 shanix from him once and hasn't paid it back to this day

Drew Rodimus Prime for my buddy @robotforest, he's their favorite character after all! This took me 12 hours to draw, but it was soooo worth it, especially seeing how much they liked this piece♡

>>you can watch the speedpaint here!<<

sick rodimus doodling

they consume my brain

[lazychimken]

In news that surprises absolutely no one, I’ve become fond of another piece of media 😔😔

I know these designs are doodoo but I’ve never really drawn mechs before and seeing the character designs of RID traumatized me WHY DO THEY HAVE EYEBROWS??!!

Anyways I watched TFO, I’ve started TFA, and I watched some clips of TFP and I’m planning on reading the comics soon

I think this is the cutest thing I've made to date

[icecream4starscream]

I really hope in a future iteration of the Transformers, we get a Starscream who is revealed to be chosen by the Matrix of Leadership to be a Prime.

It could be revealed that the whole reason his spark is immortal (odd HE gets immortality since the only other person to really cheat death like that is Optimus Prime) was because the Matrix was waiting for him to become the leader he needed to be. He always had the potential, but he needs to grow before he earns the right to wield it.

Also, it would've been a cool twist in the original 80's movie if Starscream was the one to wield the Matrix instead of Hot Rod, Magnus, or Galvatron (and been more a meaningful pick IMO), but of course that would've required a heck of an arc in the movie and we would've never gotten ghost Starscream so... *shrugs*

IDK, i just think a Prime Starscream would be pretty cool.

EDIT: Follow up question, what would be a good Prime name for Starscream? I think something like Sirius Prime would be fitting (Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky).

Rules and Masterlist

Had a lot of fun writing this. I may have written him as more Protective Possessions than anything else, but all up, I'm very happy with how this turned out. But I've seen so where the human is distressed by Possesive Rodimus in First contact Aus so I wanted to go with them being just as distressed about being taken away from him.

________

Rodimus hated this, he hated being away from his little human. He paces back and forth in front of medlab, at this rate he would wear marks into the floor, he regretted that his little friend had been found out. It had resulted in Ratchet and Ultra Magnus taking them from his care. It had now been nearly three cycles since they had been taken from him and he didn't like when others were in charge of their care. 

Ratchet and Ultra Magnus believed he wasn't skilled enough to care for them. Yes there was a language barrier between them but they had been working on it with hand signals, nods and head shakes along with visual items. He was gentle with them, he did his best to make them comfortable and they didn't set off any signs that they felt uncomfortable or upset with him. 

Rodimus keeps his energy field taut with restraint, his optics flick to the door as he faces Ratchet, though his unrest is clear. "Look, I know you and Magnus think I'm not 'responsible' enough or whatever, but that's my little human! I've been taking good care of them since picking them up, You can't just keep me away from them!." His plating flares briefly. " you both swoop in, say I'm not 'qualified,' and carry them off for your tests and whatnot. Please just let me see them!" Rodimus remains poised, despite his clear frustration he tries to not let it show.

Ratchet isn't impressed by the situation, Rodimus had hidden the human for who knows how long before they found out about them and it was due to the fact Swerve had seen the human with Rodimus late one cycle. The medic had a hard time trusting Rodimus to be responsible for such a fragile being. 

The smaller beings' eyes light up the moment they see Rodimus, a small collection of thrills and vocal chirps falling from them as they see the Speedster finally being let into medical, they stand quickly moving to the edge of the table calling out to him eagerly.  

Ratchet huffs in exasperation as the human calls out so eagerly for the red mech. He grudgingly has to admit their attachment seems genuine. But that doesn't absolve proper procedure. Rodimus had withheld information, hidden an organic, he was lucky that they were in good health otherwise Ratchet wouldn't have let him within the radius of the lab. 

"Alright, alright, calm down, both of you." Ratchet levels a stern glare between them. "I'm letting you see each other as a trial, Rodimus. One slip-up and they go right back to my care, and you do not get to see them at all. got it?" 

Rodimus nods eagerly, and Ratchet steps aside with reluctance. The human chirps happily as he swiftly moves closer to the table they are stood on. "Be gentle, and watch your energy, you're lucky you haven't caused any medical problems" Ratchet grumbles. But his rebuke as he reads over the few tests he had run over them. 

Rodimus beams down at his human. "Missed you too. Don't listen to Ratch', okay? I'll always keep you safe." He directs the latter at Ratchet. The medic huffs but doesn't disagree. Seeing the human's contentment, maybe Rodimus has earned his chance after all. He'd be keeping a close optic on the two.

The human almost flings themself at Rodimus snuggling against his plating, had it been any other Mech their plating would have been cold but Rodimus ran hot due to his Outlier ability and they seemed to swarm to him for the heat. Their arms curl around his shoulder plating little thrills leaving them in delight to see him after not being able to see him for days now.

Eventually they pull away hands moving quickly as more noises leave them, trying to ask him questions he can't understand, giving a rather rude gesture towards Ratchet as they voice their displeasure over being stuck here. Ratchet isn't particularly happy but given the circumstances it was better than the human needing multiple injections and a drip. 

Rodimus chuckles at the rude gesture aimed at Ratchet. "Eheh, I'll let that one slide since I know he's been keeping you against your will." He hums softly while pulling them back into a hug which they eagerly accept. "But play nice," Rodimus whispers, directing a pointed look at Ratchet. "Don't want Ratch' banning me from visits, y'know?" 

Rodimus strokes their back gently, happy to finally have them back even if it was only for a little, he didn't like it but he would fight if it came down to that so they didn't have to stay in the Medlab. 

It's only when Ultra Magnus walks into the room does the human become rather vocal, seeming to scowl in displeasure, another flurry of noise coming from them as they clinging to Rodimus expecting the larger mech to take them again.

 After all this was a massive violation of ship conduct having a human on board and Rodimus had hidden them for who knows how long. Rodimus himself was still rather angry over the separation for cycles. Magnus' field bleeds disapproval as he notes the organics ferocity. " Rodimus, your failure to disclose finding an intelligent alien has compromised ship safety. That you concealed them speaks poorly of your leadership. Do you have any idea what could have happened if it was another species, think of the Viruses, and other contamination you could have brought onto this ship!"

Rodimus' plating flares indignantly. "They were scared! I was looking after them, making sure they had everything they needed, rather than dragging them in here for pit knows what kind of tests and dragged me to the brig!" 

"Enough, both of you!" Ratchet interjects sternly. "Arguing will solve nothing. Your disapproval is clear, Magnus, but separating them now could cause harm. For their sake, I advise they remain in Rodimus' care, But they are to be brought in Every Luna Cycle for check ups, do I make myself clear captain?."

Magnus' optics narrow, he goes to argue about the situation, But the sound of heavy foot fall makes them tense as Megatron stalks in, red optics lingering on the group. The co-captain looks to Rodimus with a raised brow before his optics flicker to the human in his arms. "What is the issue here?" He finally asked. Rodimus' fields blast protectiveness as Megatron's gaze settles on the human clinging to him. "There's no issue, Megatron. Just everyone freaking out that I took in a stray. As if providing refuge is a crime." 

Magnus stiffens. "Harbouring an unknown organism without informing command put the whole ship at risk. Repercussions must follow regulations."

Ratchet shoots him a glare. "Perhaps. But separating them now risks worse harm." He faces Megatron decisively. Megatron considers it thoughtfully. While Rodimus broke protocol. 

" they remain in Rodimus' care. But you will face consequences, Rodimus, for keeping them hidden, you should have come to one of us over this when you found them." His gaze levels on Magnus, daring dissent. Magnus' field churns discontent but he nods curtly. Rodimus flashes Megatron a covert grateful look. “Look I'm sorry I didn't tell anyone but I knew this was how Magnus was going to react, they needed help and I wasn't just going to leave them” 

The group continued talking about how things would proceed from there. It's only after the medical check is finished are the two finally allowed to leave, the human clinging to Rodimus as he walks with them. It catches many mechs, some doing double takes and others just blatantly staring at the human shocked over the strange organic. Rodimus did his best to shield the human from prying optics as he strode briskly down the corridor. He didn't want to deal with the rest of the mechs, or overstimulate his companion. 

"It's alright,” he murmured soothingly. "Just ignore ee. They're not used to fleshies is all." He shot a warning glare at Swerve as the mini rolled by curiously. Relief washes over him as they reach his hab suite, Rodimus shut and locked the door behind them. "Whew, finally some peace! Nobody gonna bother us here, promise." 

He settled gently on his berth, cradling the human close. "I know it's all weird and scary dealing with bots as big as mechs. But you're safe with me" Rodimus' field radiated comfort as he chatted to help them relax, he knew full well they didn't understand him, but he knew the rumbles and vibrations from his chassis would calm them. He was careful not to let his distaste for how the others acted show - he knew he had messed up but it was worth it. 

They let out a soft noise as he finally laid down on his berth, it brought him comfort knowing he finally had them back safely. The human snuggles in to his plating, a hand coming up to his faceplate as they check him over as if he had been hurt. Rodimus' optics crinkled warmly at the human's gentle inspection of his faceplates. "Aww, you're checking me over now, huh? Making sure grumpy Ratch' didn't do anything to me?" 

He nuzzled their tiny hand affectionately with the tip of his nasal ridge. Primus, they were so tiny and fragile, but their caring touch warmed his spark. "Don't you worry about me, little bit. I'm tough, it'll take more than their glares to take me down." Rodimus chuckled softly. 

Turning serious, he added, "But it means a lot that you care. I'm here for you too." He let out a soft noise as they curl up against him, happy to finally have him back, it makes a smile etch into his lips as he covers them with one of his servos to make sure they don't fall off his chassis. “get some rest littlespark” he hums softly.

[hiphoppitychopshop]

Y’all I JUST remembered to post the finished one here LMAO anyway- finished driftrod >:) hoohoohoohoo

[churino]

Design for Big Daddy (yes she's a real character)

She's the leader of the hot rod patrol, like the rest of the team, she's a younger bot, lacking real maturity, seen in her justified but frankly childish crusade against hot rod. Throughout hot rod's gradual rise, big daddy and her team criticized him at every step but with their constant pressure hot rod improved. He wouldn't be half the leader he eventually becomes without them.

Big Daddy was an early adopter of Greaser's sense of style, born on lower omega supreme on the ark, she was born tougher than tough and stronger than strong, but the other bots would often try to push her around, because of her small size, in time she would get sick of it and begin to test other people to see if they're worthy of her, which eventually formed into her unique ideology, all leadership must be tested if it is fit to lead,

A long time ago now, she picked up hot rod to join her team, gifted son of paradronian immigrants, who's seen life from every angle even at an early age. she saw potential in him for great things but his time on the team turned hot rod into an overconfident arrogant and self absorbed jerk, who thought the world was already promised to him, and when the time came it became clear he wanted to be some kind of authority, the hot rod patrol tested him as they would do to anybody else and he failed.

Big daddy was directly responsible for throwing hot rod to optimus' team, but was actually distraught when the team was thought to be dead. When Cosmo's message reached the ark, the hot rod patrol broke into the wreckers' workshop and stole an experimental ship to come to earth as fast as possible but the ship was so fast they were unable to land it properly, stranding them on earth with the other autobots.

While on earth they fell under prime's leadership where they became rivals to the throttlebots. They would constantly test hot rod's team's patience among other things, every step they take, every kilometer they rolled, the hot rod patrol would be one step ahead, one city block away, until hot rod just couldn't take it anymore, locked himself up in his room and passed his duties to bumblebee, (don't worry he'll get better)

So anyway. about that name.. within their culture, new transformers just pick their own names, and usually, it's the first thing they ever do. as a result, most names seem very immature operating on wordplay or references, Changing names does happen, but it's rare and meaningful to them big daddy is called that because of a character from a movie she liked

Hello- So this was just supposed to be a meme sketch (?) of these two, between me and my friends, but I think it's ok to post it even without too much context lol.

This belong to a little AU of mine also from Earthspark 🌈, so I mixed up the designs for them, also from other series a bit, maybe next time I'll post how I reimagined them on Earthspark. 🌟 (⁠*⁠・⁠～⁠・⁠*⁠)
