look at the archives and the about for ancient knowledge!

[atfauomo]

(ooof its my first attempt to digital art soooooo)

Primus was a colossal metallic being in the early days of existence, who wandered throughout the galaxy in the form of a metallic planet. From vis position, ve was able to engage in a plane indescribable called the infraspace. It was from here that ve observed developments in the universe and saw life begin. Being too large, ve used infraspace to interact with them in an invisible way or by a holoform. Ve became known as a god to these civilizations and thus has many interpretations.

However, one day while on the astral plane, Primus sensed a great evil, and that evil was Unicron. Unicron was a mass of dark energy, whose movements annihilated solar systems, whose ferocious appetite engulfed entire galaxies.  And the two were fated for battle.

In the fight, Unicron's blood touched upon a planet called Iso. The inhabitants were affected, and either were dissolved or their proteins denatured. They were given a state of hapahazardness, with ambiguous blob forms. Primus, feeling sorry for what ve had caused took the inhabitants in as their planet fell apart, and collected them in a protective orb and called them Insecrae, or Insecticons.

But Primus could not avoid the cursed blood.  For whoever touches the blood of Unicron is doomed to be a being trapped in eternal chaos and destruction.  So, Primus valiantly sacrificed verself and sealed the blood inside of ver, in an indestructible chamber.  This cursed blood weakened ver greatly, rendering ver unable to transform or return to deep infraspace.

Ve in vis dying moments was able to make a way. Through infraspace ve spread vis spirit of knowledge, wisdom, exploration, and curiosity of technology. Ve also began to create vis own life.  Ve created 13 tiny mechanical beings in vis likeness, with vis memories whole as if their own.  These beings would coexist with the Insecrae and create more beings, and they would all traverse the universe, help band together the different alien civilizations, and one day figure out how to defeat Unicron without vis chaotic remains tainting life, as well as spread ideas of peace and community as ve once did. And sometimes, ve would reach infraspace them talk or work through them, especially the one who owned the Matrix.

In the modern day, Cybertronians do not really follow this mythos too much.  However, if the situation would arise that Unicron might exist, most Cybertronians would fall into this line of thought than with what the Insecticons say. The Insecticons, who are for the most part strong in believing their mythos for Unicron, strongly disagree with the Cybertronian ideas. However, neither group is definite on the true nature of Cybertron or Insecticons, despite what they may say.

Formalities aside...Primus has the personality of a tired old bot who means the best. Most of vis personality and energy went to vis creations. Most of said creations would find Primus really boring and wouldnt remember ver even if ve talked to them.

This is one of the more famous images and I interpretations of the god. It's of Primus holding the Iso Orb. It's a motif of goodwill and help.

Its ya bois Rumble and Frenzy! I just love garbage characters, okay? Absolute twerps. That scene in G1 where they petty fight Skywarp while Thundercracker watches? A classic honestly.  Skywarp, Rumble, and Frenzy are three characters that have the collective smarts of one whole brain cell. 

Like other Destics, Rumble and Frenzy dreamed of a better life, of peace and freedom.  However, like other Destics, they were a bit too far gone for that. The sparks that would be known as Rumble and Frenzy were two of the many stolen from Cybertron during the When the Stars Screamed invasion. Their sparks were assorted to be used as repair bots for ships, Frenzy being MF-127, Rumble being MR-122. MR took a good brunt of abuse due to being the weaker of the two. The two eventually fought against their alien captors and escaped, but not without extensive revenge. They became criminals, and hoped the newly passed Jetfire Act (which had protections for Destics and Cybertronian criminals abroad) would protect them and allow them to live in Cybertron. However, they were outfitted to be miners in the desolate mining prison planet known as Messatine, with the ability to turn their arms into piledrivers or drills. And there they established themselves as vicious and proved all wrong when mocked their diminutive appearance. And it is there that they meet who would be known as Megatron and infamous Tesarus, and help lead a revolt that would allow them to crash into Cybertron, whether Cybertron wanted them or not.

Frenzy and Rumble are close bros. At first appearance, their personalities seem pretty identical. Both are short-tempered, sarcastic minicon jerks who get into fights and are surprisingly tech savvy. Not exactly the image one gets when thinking of leaders of a revolt of the oppressed, really. Frenzy is the more skeptical, calculative, unsocial, hardheaded one, Rumble is the more sensitive, dim, slow, sociable one. Both are protective of another, if a con messes with one, they mess with both. As with most Destics, they don’t talk about where they came from, pretty irritable at the mention of anything before Messatine.

They are commonly seen around former stealth-dependent gladiator Soundwave. Its a real mystery to all as to why they get along so well, given their brash joking nature and Soundwave’s relatively reserved, serious nature. Ravage and Laserbeak, Soundwave's other cassettes, lean more towards Soundwave's personality in seriousness, and secretly find the two quite amusing.

As far as work goes, the two are either seen helping out with mining for material or making repairs. They arent spies like Ravage and Laserbeak, too loud for that. On Earth and other planets, the two tend to sneak off and have too much fun.

Everytime I see a movie, I get really inspired to be one of the names of artists who work on huge projects, SO I felt motivated to get👏stuff👏going👏 and (I hate this word)grind 💪 😤 (ugh). So heres the lineart for atfauomo Primus, soon to be colored. In my au, Primus was an ancient living star, encased by curved, strong metallic, self-repairing layers that *seem* from another realm, surrounded by stuff affected by vis gravitational pull. As far as how ve became a planet afterwards, I'm going with Quintessons. Used the weakened star, used aDvAncEd tEcH to harnest sparks from the star, and created a planet-sized assembly line for robot servants of all kinds, from small domestic builders to city-sized, world destroying ships. And eventually said servants were *somehow* able to revolt and one day the escaped Quintessons and their planet *suddenly* disappeared blah blah. It's all too ancient that no one remembers this or knows Primus was alive at one point lol. If ve was to somehow activate, ve would be tired and boring and no one would get that ve cares about vis creation and other aliens. As far as the mythos behind this picture, THAT comes up in the final stage of this piece 👀

[atfauomo]

Decided to just go wild with cheap ballpoint pen and watercolors. The lack of erasing makes it look busy enough in my eyes and forces me to DEAL WITH IT. Yes my penmanship is bad. Skywarp legs too short lmaooo.

So yea atfauomo seeker bois. I love them, wished they were portrayed as a brotherly trine. Its WHACK that they arent, also WHACK that Skyfire and Starscream never show up together in any series beyond g1.

[atfauomo]

Im sorry Im barely on here anymore hghghghh

Backstory: aTFAUomo Tesarus in a Messatine mine shaft, now colored! Soooo, not super satisfied with this piece. And so, after hours of working on this, Im done. Just going to take the L and move on. I don't care enough to not post it, I’ve been taking a lot of L’s this year already, it just this one has a tangible reward sooo lol. There was a good idea behind this, its just I have a problem with bringing it to life.

Yes there are problems with this art and story but idc. Im so burnt out it doesnt matter anymore lol.

So basic premise? Time is right before “The War”. Tesarus is a Destic, or a being created using a stolen Cybertronian spark, with vis purpose being to the will of vis imperial creator without agency. Ve was given sapience if ve took part in a revolt, and after so was betrayed by those ve saved, and sent to the miner prison planet Messatine. At this point, ve had made an unlikely reliance with criminals Rumble and Frenzy, and has good standing with the other miners, Cybertronian and alien alike. The planet is being attacked, so all the prisoners decide to make a break for it, Tesarus trapped in a cave.

Characterwise, Tesarus thinks a lot more than talks, as a good chunk of vis life ve had no ability to talk. Ve actually thinks quite eloquently, but ve never seems like it and always seems absent. When not depersonalizing, ve comes off as simple minded and crude with a dark sense of humor. Ve is mostly just unsure about vis place as a Cybertronian, and whether ve counts as one, or if anything matters.

Story:

Shards of crystal and stone showered down throughout the entire cavern, careening off of Tesarus like hail.  The shards’ impact created little sparks and scratches all over vis body, but that was the least of vis worries. The ground shook and heave with every boom from the surface, threatening to crack the entire planet in two. Sparks of light shot down from above, incinerating several crystal clusters into toxic ashes. Tesarus stood stiffly, gazing up and down of the cavern.

A sharp metallic noise went through vis communication waves, audibly assaulting ver with a painful sound.

“You MORON!” a voice weezed.  “This whole planet is collapsing into itself and you are actually trapped? Did your heavy tank self broke the floor or somethi--”

“Pipe down you slagging piece of minimetal! Just help me out here!”

“What’s the problem guzzler?”

“Well, there is a war on this planet, I'm stuck in a cave, I'm stuck talking to the squeakiest bot of all time--”

“You dumbass just tell me what is the color of the crystals in the cave right now!”

Tesarus scanned the area.  “Okay, there are faded...pink?...clouds and dark purple gas flowing…crystals are of the same color...”

Groans filled the other side of the com. “Those are unstable unnutrium-energonistic--”

“Enough babbling Frenzy how do I get out?”

“I was talking! Yeesh, anyway, just...I know this is hard for a bumbling buffoon as yourself, but do your best to lightly step towards your northside. Try to avoid the purple gas--”

Tesarus looked to the gas clouds that filled the cave.

“--as that will slowly dissolve different tiny pieces in your frame, worse so if you have small cuts.  Naturally, avoid the crystals, especially prolonged contact. They burn.  But whatever happens, don’t mix the affected area with the opposite color of gas.”

“....what?”

“HURRY UP IDIOT!!”

Tesarus slowly stepped from step to step. All the sudden, a large blue flash exploded into the cave. As flash dissipated, the cave filled with a sparking magenta light. Sparks appeared, as Tesarus could feel tiny prickles of static upon his frame. Tesarus saw an opening to the chaotic scene above.

Tesarus jumped to the surface. As if on cue, the whole cavern turned bright and caved in. Tesarus gathered vis wits and the wheezy voice spoke.

“Hey you jumped too close you guzzler!” piped out a tiny red and black minicon.

“Shut up Frenzy you know that I hate--Wait Frenzy?” Ve cocked vis head and smirked. “Which one is Rumble? The geeky black and red one or the not-that-bad blue one?”

The minicon’s hands turned into drills. “Oh SHUT UP TESARUS you KNOW WHO THIS IS! I OUGHTA JUST LEFT YOU THERE YOU OVERGROWN GUZZLER PIECE OF--!”

“You BOTH come ON we don’t have time for dumb metal smacking!” yelled a blue minicon.

Tesarus grumbled and grabbed both minicons and ran as the ground rose and fell under battery fire. The once desolate planet was now a rising sea of explosions and rocks.

“There it is Tesarus, the shipping dock! Head to it!” yelled Rumble.

From the chaos, an imposing sleek building held its ground. Avoiding various chasms, Tesarus took a leap and made it to the building’s entrance.  

Ve waved vis huge fists in the air, wiping out the security drones without so much as a glance, tearing through the fortified strongholds of the ships as easily as air. Ve felt a sick rush from it all, despite vis own ligaments disintegrating bolt by bolt.  

Frenzy screeched. “Hey! You almost threw that crumpled up drone at me!”

“Oh shit well sorry that there is toxic gas seeping through my systems!”  

Frenzy directed the two to the largest ship possible and ran.

Frenzy made quick work of the ship’s security measures, and soon all the ships were up and running. Ve ran inside and Rumble followed suit, Tesarus thankful for not having to bend down for once.

The minicon ran to the front of the ship, pressing all kinds of buttons and speaking all kinds of languages over the intercoms.  Miners from all over were piling into the now open ships, lifting into the air. It was a sight, the ships that took them in suddenly lifted into the air ina spark stopping speed, as beacons of light, the night sky filled with dark blue and orange streams as they raced away from their prison.

Tesarus was in awe. Various ships did complex turns and strikes against enemies, the world filled with a destructive yet freeing light. Ve had never seen anything like it.

Rumble cackled, breaking Tesarus from vis trance. “Okay you easily impressed trash heap, stick out your arm.” Tesarus did so, vis hand easily being larger than the bot and vis twin combined. Rumble took some mental notes and rummaged around the ship and returned. Ve stuck vis tiny hands with all kinds of attachments, of tiny lasers and tiny drills and other tiny things. Rumble swiftly moved from various sections of Tesarus’ frame, lastly hopping to the side. “So move around Tessy and see how ya feel.”

Tesarus stood, looming over the makeshift mechanic.  “Holy shit you two really do know things!”

“Well, I knew a bot….” Rumble’s voiced trailed off, and for a second ve seemed to be somewhere else. Suddenly, ve straightened verself and smirked.  “Well, I need to make a few more adjustments. But this should hold for a bit until we can get some more experienced hands here. I am actually suprised that Frenzy here actually was able to fly this thing!”

“I told you morons that I was hella smart! Why did you think I got locked up here in the first place? Where else would they put the finest decoder in all of Cybertron? In the dirt!”

Frenzy dramatic took a deep lean into vis pilot’s chair and sighed, putting vis dusty pedes onto the dashboard.  “Technology such as this is mere sparkling play for me!”

“This is the opportunity Megatron couldnt even dream of happening! This is even better! This is the perfect chance! ”

Tesarus tiled vis head. “What is that supposed to mean?

Frenzy lept form vis chair and went up to Tesarus. “ You dumbass! WE did all of this, all on our own! WE are a part of this epic story! Dont you see? WE heading back to Cybertron!”

Frenzy smirked. “Rumble you stupid ass Tesarus boyo here has never been to Cybertron!”

Tesarus wrinkled vis face. “...Cybertron?”, ve said uncomfortably.

Frenzy got up from vis chair and looked to Tesarus. “Uhh...Dont you worry too much! Bunch of weird bots from other places like you escape and go to Cybertron and dont get deactivated!”

The giant tensed at the last word. Ve thought ve felt that ve wa being deactivated on multiple occasions, but ve never felt so close to it as ve was heading towards vis home planet.

All the sudden, Rumble sheepishly grinned and looked to the side. “Or at least thats what we’ve heard!”

Frenzy butted in” Im sure you arent the biggest piece of scrap theve ever seen--Though with your track record??” Frenzy quipped. “Hmmmm. You are on your own for that one!”

“Fren--”

“I mean all I ever did was crash the place’s electronic systems, I never like, murdered a whole--”  

“Frenzy!!”

Frenzy sighed. “Well, I mean, you always said that you wished you were deactivated, so this would be perf--”

“Frenzy thats enough!!” Rumble hissed.

Silence ensued.

“Okay okay, sorry my guy Ill shaddup now!!” Frenzy sighed and dropped to vis seat. Ve popped open a tank quality energon cube much larger than verself and drank and immediately passed out.

Rumble slid off vis protective goggles and looked to Tesarus. “Well, I never was the one for niceities but...Dont mind ver, ve’s just an asshole! Im sure that you’ll be...okay?” Rumble went awkwardly back to work as Tesarus placed vis gaze onto the view outdoors, looking at the dtstant stars and galaxies ahead.

Cybertron was just a myth to all Destics.  Cybertron, the homeland, the place from whence their sparks were stolen and sold to do the work of the lowly or corrupt. Cybertron, the supposed paradise that supposedly held open arms to its lost sparks to join back in society. Cybertron, the place had let its arms open for sparks to be lost.

But what did such a place have to do with someone like Tesarus? Ve didn’t even look like ve belonged anywhere, and ve couldn’t play like ve did like Frenzy and Rumble. Ve stuck out as easily as a Guardian Bot, vis own makeshift spark sending out its bastard sparkwaves to all around it.

This wasn’t the first time that Tesarus felt that sense of the unknowing freedom. It happened so long ago back on Tesarui Eva, that moment sealed with the treachery of the one who taught ver how to feel, with ver in chains and crushing torment, waking in the unforgiving Messatine. But now it was actually happening, ve can see as the planet’s surface began to look not as a warzone but as just a cloudy dust speck in the distance of space, and ve began to imagine how vis messed up speck of a spark would appear to those in its sight.

So for aTFAUomo, all the Titans have Cybertronian avatars, aka holoforms. These holoforms have different personalities than the Titan mainly has. For example, Metroplex's holoform is naïve and annoyingly worried about others, as Metroplex verself is helpful and wise. Trypticon's holoform is very artsy and musical, while Trypticon verself is like a tired old bot.

Regardless, one thing stays the same: competitiveness. Oh sure, Titans are generally kind and loving to their citizens....but to each other? They keep watch of another's citizen count, keep count over developments, work on advertising to get more citizens, more attractions, all on their own Titans-only social media . Even in the closest Titan friendship, both say nice things but all the while thinking snark remarks.

One big hot thing for them is attracting aliens. However, Cybertron isnt really a safe place for aliens. Doesnt mean they dont try.

aTFAUomo: The Tale of Unicron

In the beginning of our universe, there was an expansion of light. From among (or perhaps before that light), arose Unicron, a powerful being of an incomprehensible, calmly chaotic nature. Zis movements set off the chain reactions for existence, and ze later separated galaxies and voids, dispersed the many stars in the sky, create black holes and other anomalies.

Given zis powerful position, ze is wonderful but naturally terrible. Ze feasts on the celestial bodies, zis colossal anatomy able to split in half to engulf entire systems. Zis form however is of the chaos of the beginning of the world and as such is unable to exist with creation for long.

Such is the case of the living star Primus. Surprised at meeting another sentient body, Unicron stayed and communicated with ver, and the two become close. Over time, Primus grew weak, and wished to explore the universe beyond vis failing core in the form of tiny beings. To grant zis friends’ wish, ze gathered material so ve could create a protective covering and metallic people.  

Unicron observed creation and creator, and saw how Primus lived through them, and ze yearned to create zis own beings as well. Ze did, and they were elastic shapeshifters with the ability to take degraded elements and make them whole again, to survive in many circumstances, and to split into multitudes.

Unicron was joyed by their presence and yearned to show them the universe, however, coexistence between creator and creation weren't meant to be. In Unicron’s prolonged presence, they began to dissolve. With this, ze realised zis nature, and separated zis personality from zerself, bestowing eccentricity, creativity, and incomprehensible knowledge to zis creations. Ze placed them upon Cybertron to live with and protect Primus’ people, and departed, vowing only to return if necessary. Ze flows to this day, naturally expanding the universe, zerself growing to a colossal range as well.  

This was the Insecrae, or Insecticons, say. They cling very closely to this story with many different beliefs. Some await for the day Unicron returns. Some believe ze is on an astral, non physical plane of existence, always watching and listening. Some Insecrae say Unicron doesn’t feast on inhabited planets but is benevolent in eating, such as consuming black holes or drinking expanding suns that threaten life.

Many Cybertronians don't really believe in all this but they certainly don't cheer, as Cybertronian mythos begs to differ with Unicron. This doesn't affect relations with the Insecrae, as many Cybertronians don’t follow mythos.

My 2nd digital art piece for class, an isometric floating island diagram of atfauomo Cybertron’s layers using a rudimentary Crystal City.

I had to self teach myself 95% of the techniques used here. I wanted to add more seekers, more jets, better buildings, and a Guardian bot but no time for that and I want rest from this lol. The infodump I would have made for this post is here, the old post that inspired today’s piece. The information is revelant, its just I couldn’t add all the details I envisioned lol.

[mikkeneko]

concept: a death god that is actually surprisingly supportive and on the side of the good guys, supporting actions and promoting policies that will lead to the kingdom growing and thriving instead of being destroyed, because the more the kingdom grows, the more people there are, and the more people there are the more people will eventually  die, and when you’re an immortal god of death, you know there’s no need to rush. you’ll get them all in the end

[mikkeneko]

i like how the responses on this post are cleanly split between “hey this is a great story idea i love it” and “this is absolutely terrifying”

#inktober day 18: Rough Meidra Seeker. <p>In my au, there would be 3 different base models of the modern Seeker, this one being the Meidra, a Cybertronian equivalent to a F-15. It's average at most things, but has at least good amounts of aesthetics and practicality. It has the advantage of being able to fully detach at any time, each piece controlled by the sparkchamber. Notable characters with this base are pre-emperor Starscream, tactocal special ops Slipstream, nerd Acidstorm, and gamer loser Bitstream.

[atfauomo]

Inktober Day 8: Star with aTFAUomo Override Prime. So star in the context of being a representative of Cybertron at one point. Ve was top of ver class of Valedron flyers, unapologetically Tetrahexian with ver two juts on ver helm, three wave curves, unfiltered attitude, and rough old Cybertronian singing style. Ve was brash to the point of causing ruckus with the Head Councils of Cybertron and of other civilizations. As with other members of government, ve has ver own set of controversies, mostly with ver tensions with Sentinel, and with the unlikely relations with the head Guardian Bots Kappa Supreme.

No bio today bc because the colors are...bad to me? I feel like I should give ver a color scheme of orange edges, and blue and light grays. Like the red seems like a bad idea hhhhh.

[atfauomo]

1st atfauomo post coming sometime this upcoming week!!!

aTFAUomo: Vesiair of Aquatron

In the early days of Cybertron, there were no titans or Cybertronians as we know them. There were free floating orbs of energy that interacted with one another. However, eventually an advanced race known as Quintessons arrived on the living planet and forced their own encoding and technology, giving Cybertronians vessels and transformative abilities, among other things too long to ramble about. These aliens wanted to use the Cybertronians as servants to do their bidding, forming colossal machines that created mechanical colonies to spread their reign. Over a long amount of time, the metallic servants across Quintesson rule gained sapience and, with Unicron's introduction of the plasmic indestructible Insecticons, the Quintessons were fended off and Cybertronians, having to deal with the fact that they had a lot of learning and establishing to do.

The Insecticons and Cybertronians acquired the technology to teleport through space over large distances. As natural with sapient lifeforms, they sought to explore the worlds beyond theirs. With this, several Titans went on their way to mingle about this idea to each other and their citizens

Vesiair was one such Titan, and so were vis citizens. In those days, Cybertronians knew next to nothing about the traveling technology but still wanted to use it anyway, (for, the only real calculations they did was how to ration energon, and how their presence would affect other lifeforms). So, Vesiair didn't know that the path ve was deciding to travel in was leading to an enormous Van Allen belt. When ve found out of the imminent danger, it was too late and the Titan, affected by the belt's particles, was sent plummeting toward a foreign planet. In an attempt to protect vis citizens, ve force them into stasis as ve tried to slow down vis descent.

The planet ve landed on was one full of water, but not like of earth. Its water differed in densities and had minerals in the water that prevented occurrences like rust and actually preserved Cybertronian metal. It also had things such as hot ice and ocean bodies under its vapor atmosphere.

It was when ve made vis descent that one of the planet’s inhabitants came up to the giant in stasis. The beings there were, as far as we are concerned, huge water dragons. The being known as Coronon in vis personal interest went and saw the giant shiny being and in dragon fashion, claimed the titan as xis own treasure before anyone else could. Ve was astounded by the Titan’s articulate way of adjusting ver own self to the world. Coronon watched over the being, preventing those of vis own kind from ruining ver.

It was many many Coronon generations later that Vesiair’s spark grew enough strength to restart again, waking up to see Coronon’s descendant, Qoro, repairing a small patch. The dragons were now technologically advanced and were able to establish communication with the Titan. Qoro told of Vesiair's landing and of recorded history of vis ancestors taking care of ver. Vesiair was duly thankful and in typical Cybertronian fashion, vowed to show this by watching over Qoro's line and generations after, establishing vis colony called Aquatron.

Vesiair reworked vis citizens, and they went and explored the watery world. Their altforms are that of alien aquatic creature, naturally. It is on Aquatron vis citizens stayed, their generations not even able to imagine living on such a place as Cybertron.

Vesiair, unconnected to Cybertron, powers verself by the movements of the water current around ver. Ve is one of the larger Titans and one that you can think of as “wise person that lives as a hermit in a cave in the middle of nowhere, running with the animals and drinking from the rain”. Vesiair was in stasis for what felt like a few months in Titan time, which wasn't really a concern, as this wasn't out of character. Ve never was chatty and mostly listened to Titan banter because no choice. Personality wise, Vesiair is a bit stoic and intimidating, but is the person who cheers the loudest for those ve cares about.

Unlike other Titans, Vesiair appears in vis Titan form more often than in a city form. Other Titans in general don’t really appear in Titan form not just because there is no space for them to move as a Titan and would be logistically not good, but also because it would make them feel subconscious. Vesiair enjoys being able to traverse the planet without causing harm and seeing how things change over Coronian generations. Vis citizens have no problem just floating around the planet. Even the most hostile of the native beings know not to mess with the Aquatronians. Aquatronian citizens are notably larger than other Cybertronians, as in adapting to the planet, their vessels were formed to be as the natives, meaning sea monster kaiju bulldoze a human city like nothing large. So aTFAUomo Guardian Bot large.

[atfauomo]

Based on this post . I wanted to do a little doodle comic bc ehhh mood.

Slugfest is a true Decepticon supporter. In vis “aged youth”(ve is super old), ve campaigned for the cause, and in the “War”, ve eagerly volunteered to join their Special Operations force and was one of their best intelligence officers, hard headed when others told ver to take a rest. It was vis loyalty to the cause that caused ver everlasting pain.

Being a casseticon spy in dangerous business, Slugfest being an example. Ve was top of the top until one day, a certain Autobot squashed vis dreams in the most embarrassing way any Minicon could face (getting stepped on), leaving ver in a near to death state for a long time before being discovered by vis fellow spies. When ve was recovered by the Decepticons, it was discovered that Slugfest’s lifespan was severely decreased and that ve llost nearly all vis memory and capability of stealth and information retention. Ve didn’t even know vis name, but knew that ve was a Decepticon and that ve would die for the cause.

Ve was extremely pissed off to have been let go by the Special Ops forces for “no slagging reason”, despite being given all kinds of accolades and praises. Ve tries not to show it, but ve was very hurt by the dismissal. It sort of shows by vis short temperedness and mood whenever anyone mentions Special Ops, who are obviously WAY TOO BUSY to see and chat with ver.

Ve can be a real mean real snarky minicon at times, but ve does not want to be alone. Nor is ve left by verself, because otherwise ve couldn't find the way back to base, so there is always a minicon assigned to ver.

Like other minicons, elderly Slugfest likes to spend time around human settlements. (Its nice to be in places where it either they fit right in or are the largest ones). Ve tries to rejuvenate verself by trying out new things, having a love for bowling. Its hasn't been working out with bowling, ve is awful, but ve never remembers that and tries anyway. Ve even has vis own season passes. The humans don't seem to mind, and it's not uncommon to see Slugfest casually chatting with them. Overkill would rather be back home on Trypticon City. Ve would much rather be watching movies or practicing vis “comedy” so ve could get invited to go on Skywarp’s show than being yelled at by some old can.

Overkill is a young sparkling born from Trypticon’s hot spot soon after the Titan joined the Decepticons. Ve has the special ability of size shifting and is rather dorky and awkward. Ve is Slugfest’s favorite to drag around for bowling, for some reason. Trypticon, who has some sympathy for the aged minicon, kicks Overkill out of vis city by force when Overkill is assigned to escort Slugfest around.

ATFAUomo Grimlock! This design is based off a spinosaurus, red feathered vulture, t-rex, and the idea that dinosaurs have feathers. Former war drone turned Autobot, this Destic poses a formidable threat…

Lately I have been feeling insecure about my art mainly due to quality of my phone camera and lack of color. So, I decided to up my game and add colors and shadows~!

I estimate that this took me around 20 hours to do, topping the 16 it took for Embersworth. I used Tombow markers and pens here...pro tip, just skip using white gel pens and go for white dip pen ink, it doesnt smear color around lol.

[rinovartka]

Soundwave finds out that letting vis casseticons watch human media is a costly mistake. Overkill, a young, barely-not-a-sparkling, knows too much dragon dino monster stuff for vis own good. Is ve a terrifying kaiju? 1 like=1 yes.

This pic has a lot of references so whoever can DM me the most shown here, I, uh, idk will make you a detailed art? I hate sketching I hate drawing likes this dhdhdhdjdjdjjs
