Rue | she/her | 24yo A sideblog for all the robot stuff i always seem to get into. mostly Transformers or brave series going on here, watch out for swearing and nsfw content.
So, Prowl's door wings are full of sensors. They need to be recalibrated pretty often, which is done through physical recalibration. The problem is, he can't reach most of his wings. Most people with sensor rich wings, like Praxians or Seekers, have a cohort or close group of friends who will recalibrate them for them. But, during the war, most of the Autobots don't have high sensory door wing sets, so they don't fully understand why Prowl is asking them to help his wings. They also quickly got annoyed with how often he needed help and how long it took. Add that to the fact people don't really like Prowl to begin with, plus Prowl's own paranoia. So, Prowl didn't have anyone to recalibrate his wings for him during the war. He got it done by the medics when they got too painful.
So now post war, the Constructicons, with Prowl's memories, see that Prowl needs help with his wings. They offer to help. Prowl is worried that they too will get annoyed with how often they need to be recalibrated. The Constructicons are like "Bro, there are like 5 of us. Someone will be free and able to help you. Plus, we can rotate." So now Prowl has people actually taking care of his needs.
Also the Constructicons are holding grudges towards the Autobot High Command for letting Prowl suffer with his door wings.
Design for Prowl as he is in my personal AU Collision Course.
He is still an investigator/enforcer/police officer, idc about terms all that much, but he's an officer recently moved to Kaon after a number of incidents with warframes that has caused tension to rise. Here he is just trying to do his job when a certain construction crew begins to show up everywhere he goes and somehow they all end up smack in the middle of chaos... So it's a normal day on Cybertron.
He is of course from Praxus, and in Collision Course all Praxians have crystal burst wings that they can soar and take off with, they used to be a show of stature, but has been shunned and are not allowed to be shown or paraded around. Ever.
Prowl is an cynical ass, but he's not heartless and not as battle-hardened as in most other timelines, and what's this? The guy might just have a spark? No, surely that must be a spelling mistake in my writing~
Headcanon on Constructiprowl because i can never find my notes here either :D
these guys may know how to rip out a spine but they also know how to talk about problems in their relationship which they take very serious
On base the Constructicons try to behave for Prowl, they take their relationship very seriously and it’s their main focus when they’re not on jobs. When on the field, they’re having a blast, like they love being in the field and causing trouble and killing and gore doesn’t bother them at all and they joke around with it a lot, after Prowl starts sending them on missions they get a lot easier to handle since they destroy things and fight other people because they’re bored.
Without Scrapper it’s hard for them to do construction work, and it’s first after Prowl gets them blueprints and whips them into work, instead of tolerating them complaining about it, that they get back into their profession which they are masters at of course, well right after they figure out how to do it without Scrapper.
They’re actually considered one of the healthiest gestalts, especially in the decepticon ranks
Individual headcanons under here
Bonecrusher
Grade A asshole to most who are not a part of the gestalt
Most likely to start a fight, both physical and yelling
Reacts to emotions
Will cause trouble if bored
Is actually good natured with the gestalt but just acts like a jerk, think it’s fun and that it’s not that big of a deal
Will ignore ‘dumb’ orders, mostly emotionally made ones, and fight and argue directly with Prowl, they end up yelling a lot
Especially picks on authority figures - he also got a kink here
Super protective above all else
Extendable drills on arms for close combat and that makes his transformation drill
Second largest frame
Many scars and lots of thick armor
He thicc
Hot
Likes to tear things down, being a demolisher isn't a bad profession for him and he don't mind
Drill/Bulldozer - The right leg, drill can be used to make a piercing kick
Hook
ProfessionalTM
Kinda a snob
AmusedTM, cocky and sarcastic
Emotionally intelligent but direct and can fail to read when he’s crossing a line
Will almost always follow Prowl unless his own knowledge and expertise gives a better solution, he’s the medic of the team and takes taking care of all of them very seriously.
Mom-friend of the gestalt
Not good at deadlines but amazing in spur of the moment things
Takes his job seriously and does it well
Has the cool coat tails (see crosshair for ref) it's stacked plating
Is a sniper/medic
Lots of plating stacked on each other, it extends into the crane when he transforms. Plating is thin and not made for taking damage
Sniper is mounted to his back and can fire both blasts and the hookTM. When paired up with Hauler's weapon he can shoot someone out of the sky if he wanted
Vain fucker knows he's hot and patients are thirsty for this doctor
Gets real mad if you cut the hook line, that material is expensive
Is a painter and poet… real artistic but has no real choice in his profession, gets to scratch his itch when he gets to decorate the buildings they make
Crane/medic - the right arm, hook that can be used as a lasso or projectile.
Long Haul
The rock of the group and mediator
Wants to be important, could have been an amazing senator/politician
Will only disobey to protect Prowl and the gestalt, will question morally grey orders, actually enjoys getting ordered around a lot
Surprisingly calm and good tempered
Truly believes in the Decepticon cause
Devastator’s chassis, the biggest of them
Big and burly. Biggest fram on the team
Double as big as Scrapper?
Loads of thick armor
Thicc
Tank
Shields his teammates 🛡️
Hand to hand combat is preferred
Dump truck/roller - makes up most of the torso and supports the other limps to give them extra armor and strength.
Collission course AU only: Blind, taps into the gestalt’s eyes to see - having a disability has always made it harder for him to follow the autobot rule
Has the biggest gun but needs help firing, paired up with Hook is preferred as the medic has special scope and connectors
Mixmaster
Actually a bit insane and doesn’t have a whole lot of empathy, borrows from the gestalt
Will blatantly ignore Prowls orders and in the most suave way try and talk him into his own idea
Has no impulse control and also adopts his morals from the gestalt because he doesn’t have them
Chemist who should not have fire with him at any given time
Bad memory but still just knows how stuff works
Mouth fixation
Mixer usually splits to protective plating, worn as a cape, but can be carried on his back. Mixer is usually mixing… something tho
Agile and mean looking
Mad scientist vibes? Googles ✅
Sharp talons, tube cables, the whole thing
Local brewery and holds rations ⚗️🧪
Can make emergency fuel if he has to
Grew up in a super poor family, siblings starved to death
Is it mental illness or trauma or both
Concrete Mixer - the left arm - the mixer can both be used to spray whatever he’s carrying or be unfolded as a shield.
Prowl
total workaholic
Super smart and quick witted but so bad at emotions and trusting people
Usually has his own agenda and will let almost nothing stand in his way
This boy always needs trauma in some way but boyfriends help
Foreman
black speedster/Police car - The head if scrapper is dead, if not, the processor and back armor plating, possibly also the shoulder guards keeping scrapper’s shoulder blades in place and guarded
As Gestaltmember:
Former police officer 🚓🚨
Burlier than in his police days but still small in comparison to the gestalt
Hot
Blaster on his back/hip
Elegant doorwings that opens to Praxian burst wings
Pointy
Much more "elegant" and "superior" in design than the rest, since hes Praxian
Looks like an overscoring but might be the devil
Has adopted green as his accent color, goes well with his blue eyes or so he's been told several times by multiple infatuated bondmembers
Read my fic on AO3 “Devastate This” and you’ll know everything about him
The fucking smallest out of all of them and he is mocked for it constantly, he will commit murder
Moral compass about what is right, not necessarily what is kind
Normal verse is sticking to the law
In Collision Course he’s much more empathic especially after teaming up with the gestalt
Scavenger
Baby
has such a huge need to please that he will most likely never disobey, has to be an utmost emergency and even then it’s a huge maybe because Prowl knows better.
Will cry if you yell at him
Minor kleptomania
Nervous and anxiety prone
Just very emotional and the most needy but also makes everyone feels wanted, needed and important
Scrawny and the smallest
Round-ish and friend shaped
Might look scary to people who don't know him since he’s still a warframe
Least likely to kill you, will actually be so so so friendly
Collision Course - Has bent legs (satyr legs? What they called? Like whirl)
Welding mask
Walking conductor and skilled electrician ⚡💡
Tail that leads charge
Emoting headfins
Mostly support for the others or makes electric fields
Can crawl on walls and ceilings with talons and tail
Very sneaky tho and can plan ahead to trick others into situations, usually uses this on prowl if he’s fighting with the gestalt
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENT
Cannot be separated from the gestalt
Excavator/ electrician - Left leg - has electric charges in the knee that can send a serious surge of electricity through whatever touches it, and can also charge all of Devastator up like a live battery.
Scrapper
Head honcho
In normal timeline he’s dead. But in au Collision Course he’s all of the below:
Boss of the bosses, actually over Prowl in the inner hierarchy but officially Prowl is leader. But he has a partnership with Prowl where the tactician is kinda like his right hand man.
Unusually close with Prowl, especially considering Prowl being a late-comer, with him being the head and Prowl being their processor.
Will usually be able to calm Prowl with little to no trouble. They’re all very close but these two just have an uncanny feel for the other
The first time they hardwired with each other they just fit together like puzzle pieces
Scrapper is always the one to break up fights with Long Haul second and Hook third
Big ass heavy blaster as main weapon and he carries it around like it weighs NOTHING
Will have the last word and is suuuuper persuasive
This guy is H.O.T and charismatic as seven hells
This mech is so charismatic he can talk most people into his ideas, good thing he doesn't want anything super flashy, just for his gestalt to be happy and be an architect
Usually pretty cheerful and believes he and his team can accomplish the impossible and you know, most of the time they can
He is an architect but a constructor through and through, while the others are constructors due to necessity, this guy loves his job
No academy would take him so he's mostly self-taught
