Do You Like Transformers: Animated? here’s My Collection Of All Episodes, Shorts, Allspark Almanacs,

could you draw Troll Jim pls? (or Nomura, take your pick)

Ok but like,,,, why not both lol

sorry they’re not the best, enjoyed drawing Nomura’s nose tho

Tell us about Jet Sammmm he got fun design

IT IS TIME

Jet Sam has been a journey and more, him and the lore and stories I’ve been building and exploring wouldn’t have been possible without @justayoungling , truely they’ve probably cultivated my skill more than I could do on my own so let’s get into exploring the journey Sam has been on,

So the first frame for jet!Sam was created for the ugly duckling au, exploring the isolation and alienation from both humanity and cybertronians

He’s delicate, feels to flimsy and not very fit for his frame. Clumsy and prone to denting he often felt like something was always trying to break out, power that didn’t have the room it needed but had no words or the experience to know what to do with it or explain it. The autobots on the site with him somewhat knew his history of human to metal, destructor of the allspark. Not liking the human name “Sam” Sunstreaker and Sideswipe give him the new name “Prisam” a play on prism, a comment on how his wings would fracture the light like a prism.

Then I started talking with @justayoungling and they introduced their boyo atlas!

And so it started a spin off au where Windblade introduced them and Atlas saw Sam as a reflection of him, a young lost bot who seemed to have fate on his shoulders. Atlas having traces to ancient relics like the matrix, primes and the allspark, something we explored heavier later down. Atlas having small future visions and feeling that being with Sam is where he needed to be. So despite Sam’s reluctance they became fast friends.

Atlas having not known Sam as a human, Sam didn’t come across freaky-alien weird to Atlas, just another weird bot, but it’s okay because Atlas can be weird with him too, being a huge help to getting Sam comfortable flying

Together he and Sam forge a strong brotherhood, not many more jets flying around and they both need more socialising, flying frames enjoying flying with trines or in formation with each other a good thing for them. Finding themselves and their own path beside just following the next command from Prime.

Sam regardless of body, was made by Primes, something deep in his spark no matter of self dissonance he would always try to do the Prime thing. Something that came to head, a autobot spacecraft crashing down, it would have impacted and destroyed a large area and possibly kill the bots inside. Sam, Atlas and Windblade being the only flying autobots there was very little anyone else could do. So Sam chose to throw himself onto the craft, the heat and pressure of a crashing ship weilding himself to the ship trying to change its direction into the ocean. As the ship impacted the ocean the crushing force, the shock of heat to ice chilling water…

It worked. And only cost one bot.

But being a Prime, you never really stay dead, and Optimus trying to mourn and maybe give Sam some honor and peace in “death” he sent the some of the dust from the matrix into the ocean Sam lay at the bottom of.

Awakening and reformatting him into his second frame. And so rose from the ocean

Prismatic Prime

Who’s definitely gone through his own journey of designing! When he came from the ocean, there was only so much material to reformat with, considering how much it took to originally make his first frame. His wing panels so destroyed he had broken remnants of flight gears and not all completely functional. But Ratchet is nothing but a miracle mech and some serious dubious and unstudied medical work, they were able to graft the parts given to Optimus by jetfire to Sam.

Leaving him with the Cybertron equivalent of nerve damage to his wings, little feeling and he doesn’t carry them or emote with them like many expected behaviours of jets.

A Frankenstein of a mech if any medic got a good look under his plating

So I wanted to capture the essence of jetfire, in Sam, choosing the nighthawk (right) to carry on the blackbird (left)

Which was very technical and I’ve seriously grown my mech building skills from

the first concepts

First very similar to jetfires silhouette.

-large

-spooky

to the middle unrefined but clear image

I loved the idea of his Prime form being a contrast to Optimus and Rodimus, a jet, something more Unicron inspired like a warning, not to forget the evil that may come for anyone, Megatronus comments about how evil humanity felt manifesting for Sam to then use to invoke good with, preservance, determination an unrelenting and powerful spirit.

Colouring is not my strong suit. It’s ment to be like a burned and singed body compared to his te

to the refined stage!

I am very happy with his look, I made the wings easier to draw and more easier to read and relate to the nighthawk, and his COLOUR! So much more cohesive! He’s like a black cat of night! His pede talons are retractable but unlike others his servo claws aren’t. Traces of so many bots that made him who he is now, he is a walking history lesson in a language only few can only ever understand half of.

AND OF COURSE HE GLOWS! My little ancient artifact magnet can’t escape the marks of the allspark and primes before him. He’s ment to envoke the ocean, bioluminescence algae. Atlas swears that you can see the faint moving lines and marks on Sam when their not glowing, never gone completely

But truely Sam will never be a finished design, always gonna be trying new things and different things and be inconsistent but I’m really happy with his look now. Something that undeniably is threatening, a hunter, something that stalks the skys and shadows but forever has a warm look in his optics. He may always be mourning who he was, what was lost, but he’s resigned and accepted his now in for a very long game. And might as well take advantage of being “Primely” and force other bots to think he knows what he’s talking about

Maybe I can convey all I want to share and explore with him you all next year! One way to find out, or @justayoungling will be the continuing gatekeeper of all my ramblings and loose ends, can’t praise them enough how enjoyable it’s been with them!

And all the kiddos their sitting on…maybe we should get around to making more post able things to share the fun!

DJ KLEB IS HERE TO PARTY!

I don’t think I ever posted my contribution to the rarepair zine from last year, I can’t find the post anyway haha. They qualified as a rarepair so I made it in with ‘em.

They got back from a hunt covered in slime but tired af.

IDEA-

So I wrote about Bumblebee being born on earth so to speak in different scenarios... but what about Blitzwing?

I say that instead of Blitz, it was Strika and Lugnut who came to Earth. Team Prime had a whole lot of trouble dealing with them, they're big and cause a lot of damage- them messing shit up on the military grounds happened more than Team Prime would've liked. And so- once the Allspark shards start sprouting up from the ground then there's a real issue.

One time the shard appeared on the aforementioned military grounds- the mess was unimaginable, vehicles and aircrafts smashed left and right. Missiles and bombs exploded due to the small earthquake Lugnut caused. Team Prime barely got the tiny crystal before booking it out of there to put away to safety.... but that wasn't the end.

One tiny spec of the shard broke off during the impact and landed in the smaller pile of broken machines. It was hours after everyone had left the scene that something happened; the tiny spec of a crystal pulled what it could from the broken pile, aircraft and vehicle parts alike and some other stuff and put together one giant war machine.

Nobody was allowed on the military grounds until it was cleaned up... but Bee, being the rule breaker, snuck into the closed off zone in hopes to scavenge something cool... and cool he did find.

He was roaming around the broken buildings when he noticed something big moving between the piles, he called out but nothing happened, feeling of being watched settled in and confirmed as he saw more movement in the piles as he traveled further. At some point he got startled and bumped into some stuff... which led to the whole wall collapsing on him- or so he thought. The impact never came and he was looking up at this giant mech holding up the rubble before throwing it off to the side effortlessly. Bee only caught a glimpse of the Decepticon emblem and it made him run, but not far off as he was caught very quickly. He tried to break free but the mech didn't seem to wanna hurt him, it was only curious.

They managed to talk calmly after the big con made sure the tiny one was not hurt- his name was Blitzwing. He didn't know where he was nor anything about the Cybertron n such. Bee was fascinated by this new mech- two vehicles put together to make one powerful beast of a mech, it was so interesting- especially when the mech's face spun and another came into view, completely switching his behavior.  (i would imagine that there were multiple computers and their pieces smashed and piled together so that would explain the multiple personalities, just different machinery computers put together into one processor)

And so Bee befriended Blitz very quickly. So from then on Bee would say he was gonna hang out with a new friend and sneak in to visit Blitz at the military grounds, he never told anything specific about his new friend, Team Prime assumed it was a human so they didn't bother checking.

I guess in between the meetings Blitz managed to cause quite a bit of trouble for the soldiers trying to tame the mess the bots made (they were not allowed back in the grounds for that one);

One time Blitz somehow managed to take a nap at the used part of the grounds and got himself into the soldier training with tanks. He woke up when the crew started riding around and he thought it was fun enough to blast off into the sky for a joy ride with them before going back down... surprisingly the suspicious tank disappeared before the mechanic could take a look at it. The other time he was trying to figure out his alt modes functions and accidentally blew up something in the ruins which caused an alarm.... that is when the bots are invited back in to deal with whatever happened.

Bee is suspiciously quiet and as the team searched for the reason of the explosion the same movement between the ruined piles caught their attention. Before they could take battle stances an oddly large tank rolled out from one of the makeshift trenches in front of them- it turned its double cannons towards them and they saw it- the same con insignia shining on the- glass? of the cabin.

"Wait... that's a-!" Ratchet couldn't get the sentence out before the machine started shifting and transformed into a giant mech. Bigger than any of them.

All of them except Bee whipped out their weapons- to which the mech just stood there silently curious but also startled by the sudden movement of the new friend group. It was Bee who stepped in between before any of them could strike.

"You know the new friend I've been tellin' you about?" Bee prompted.

"Yes- why is that important right now??" Optimus asked, too alarmed by the giant mech to think why this was important right now.

"Well, it's him, this is my new friend." Bee said, gesturing to the giant mech who said in a happy tone "Hallo!" and gave then a small but excited wave.

So Bee is being questioned about why the frag is he friends with a con and where this mech even came from- they're all angry at him for putting himself in such danger but at least the mech doesn't wanna hurt them... that much.

See, Team Prime being angry at Bee angers Blitzwing, and Bee is the only one who can talk Blitz into not hurting anyone so really, they're all on Bee's mercy here.

They're a little weirded out about the mech's behavior switches- they are very much surprised when they refer to him as a tank and Bee snickers and tells Blitz to "go show them" and they see what they thought was a tank mech turn into a jet and him laughing with Bee at their expressions.

Ratchet knew about the Triple Changers existing and that they were extremely rare and difficult to make- never has he seen one pop out naturally. He never heard of them having fractured processors either but this one seemed to have that issue.

Nonetheless, Team Prime decides to leave Blitzwing there and just keep everyone out of the area he resides in. Bee of course insists on visiting him so he gets permission (forced out Op by Blitz's death glares)

I dunno where to take it from here but yeah, there you go.

Aaahhuughh

The only one left.

Megasound Week 2024 - 02: LOSS

Soundwave misses his other symbiotes. He won’t let anything happen to Laserbeak.

A brilliant explanation of consent for anyone who STILL doesn’t get it. 

More of the bloody stuff~

Just another recent quick scribble of guard shockwave and racer blurr gettin’ it on

oh... oh the implication of Jazz being hype over Soundwave's fangs... the implication of Soundwave being self conscious over them and seeing one of his (boyfriends? queer platonic partners??) being so elated to see he has them...

(also the fact that Jazz is into fangs is so wildly in character to me)

YESYES this is what im thinking of rn

the only one allowed in crime alley 🐦
