They Protecc

Two old men on a spaceship

OK WHAT THAT CATCHPHRASE

They’re so cute 😭

I think it is my civil duty to tell you guys that in the LatamSpanish dub for TF ONE, Orion tells D16 that he loves him (although sarcastically, and he uses the ambiguous/platonic term for it.) Also their catchphrase is a lot sweeter. I made a little video to show.

I like projecting happiness onto Starscream (primus knows canon doesn’t) so here’s TFP Screamer with the true self color palette from IDW :) REFERENCE:

Chapters: 2/7 Fandom: Transformers - All Media Types Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Megatron/Optimus Prime Characters: Optimus Prime, Megatron (Transformers), Elita One (Transformers), Starscream (Transformers), Prowl (Transformers), Bumblebee (Transformers), Ratchet (Transformers), Arcee (Transformers), Rodimus | Rodimus Prime Additional Tags: Comedy, Moral Dilemmas Summary:

Megatron finds an unfortunate legal loophole that allows him to accuse Optimus Prime of a crime- and soon Optimus is going to court, with Megatron as the prosecutor, Elita-1 as his defense attorney, and Starscream of all people as the judge. Autobots and Decepticons alike go up to the witness stand to tell Cybertron about who Optimus Prime is. Can Optimus prove his innocence? *Should* he? And for Primus' sake, can everyone please STOP embarrassing themselves?

It’s lesbian visibility day so you know what that means, I’m about to make some lesbians very visible! Have Arcee and Aileron in the colors of the lesbian flag because I love them a lot

LITERALLY THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYINGGG

I see one more short character being treated like a baby by the fandom I may not survive

they probably are older than the main characters! Bumblebee was in Sublevel 50 for who knows how long and Tailgate was underground for like six million years

Justice for Bumblebee and Tailgate Fr

>_>

Transformers Sparksong Chapter Four

This chapter took forever because it’s like ten pages long but I love drawing Starscream’s expressions and just because this chapter is about him it gets a little bit extra color because he’s my favorite

Transformers: Sparksong [intro/master post]

This is the introduction post for my transformers fanverse, which I’ll be posting on this blog, bit by bit! Above is the first cover I’ve drawn for it.

Plot: The comic begins pre-war as an origin story for Megatron and Optimus and progresses past this into the war

Inspiration: This is my own take on the transformers universe, so it’s not connected to any specific incarnation, but most of my inspiration comes from G1, TFONE, and Prime.

Content: Safe for minors, contains violence and angst

I’ve already sketched a lot of it and written through several arcs in detail as well, so I’m excited to be posting my little story hehe :)

The characters this au will focus on: Megatron, Optimus, Starscream, Bumblebee, Sentinel, Skyfire

The ships this au will focus on: MegOp, Skystar

Chapter One, Chapter Two, Chapter Three, Chapter Four

There’s an infinite universe out there, but they’ve already found the only Star and the only Sky they ever needed

(Inspired by “The Kiss” by Gustav Klimt, character designs from my transformers fanverse, Sparksong)

daily koss #29: if we only have one shot… better make it count, right?

Since I started on the 18th of February, today marks the one month anniversary of me drawing these wretched old men every day!!! I wanted to make something special for it, so I tried my hand at a comic (even though I am NOT good at comics—dear god, paneling is so unintuitive for me that I ended up wrangling this into a webtoon format just to avoid it).

Despite the increasing level of render and polish on my dailies over the past two weeks, this is the first time I’ve really, actually tried to flex my art muscles and apply my braincells to a piece 😂 Here’s to hoping my work paid off! I have now, officially, moved from low-effort shitposts to real-effort seriousposts 😔

(Also, if you’ve never read a webtoon before, hopefully the long-scroll format wasn’t too jarring! >_<)

A meta aspect I love about KOSS is that Transformers is a multi-timeline franchise: Knock Out and Starscream exist across multiple different continuities, sometimes alongside each other, sometimes not. But they only really ‘work’ in TFP, despite them both having other characters as constants (Breakdown, Megatron). If this were any other world, and they were any other versions of themselves, they might not even have been coworkers—just ships passing in the night.

And yet, the perfect storm of random events led to them being in one thing together, with a compelling dynamic at that (even an entire episode that puts it on blast!!!). Sometimes I think about how, according to the TFP artbook, Knock Out was originally conceived as something of a counterpart to Bumblebee—another fast, pretty car, except a villain this time—but the writers ended up fleshing out his relationship with Starscream the most. I wonder what the thought process behind that was—did the devs find their dynamic fun to play with as well?—and whether the two would get more moments together if Prime wasn’t cancelled…

But I digress! The fact I discovered TFP in the first place is the cherry on top of the serendipity-cake; I never imagined I’d ever get into Transformers, but one impulsive ‘hey, what if we watched the new Transformers movie’ from Lacuna at 3AM in the dead of January changed the trajectory of my life.

I’ve always been really bad at committing to projects for over a month at a time—I often find myself burnt out and restless after only a few days, even. So to still have so much drive and inspiration to create fanworks—for KOSS, of course, but an assortment of other pairings and properties too—is such a novel and exciting experience. My tune may change at a moment’s notice (I can be very fickle), but for now I’m eager to keep scribbling on 🥰I already have something planned for the next week of Daily KOSS hehehe~

Anyway, things referenced in the comic!

G1 cartoon s01e13 “Fire in the Sky”

2019 IDW continuity Tread & Circuits issues 2, 3, and 4

Armada episode 48

TFA s02e03 “Mission Accomplished” and s03e13 “Endgame II”

2005 IDW continuity “Choose Me,” Spotlight: Megatron, and Annual 2017 “Chosen One”

And it’s probably obvious from the art, but I love the juxtaposition of Starscream being tortured by god in every other universe while Knock Out is either happily married or doesn’t exist.
