I love their combined form that exists seemingly only for BB to ferry Starscream around. Starscream just wants to be piggybacked everywhere by the big strong BB.

Trying to make a G1 cartoon version of Tarn is so much fun. It's like, IDW took Shockwave, who was just a guy chilling and minding his own business, and said 'wouldn't it be crazy if he used to be a good guy with a normal face but he got his hands and head cut off and also lost his ability to feel love and joy?' So in order to make a G1 Tarn we have to reverse engineer that process. Tarn is not an alias. There is no DJD. He's probably not even wearing a mask, that's just his real face. Why's he look like the decepticon logo? I propose it's because his alt-mode is Megatron's throne.

I want it to be that one episode it's just suddenly revealed that Megs's throne was actually a Transformer this whole time (almost as if they arbitrarily decided to make a transformer toy of megs's throne IRL so they had to hastily write him into the show with little explanation). Is it just a reveal to the audience or to the Decepticons as well? Not sure yet. The idea that Megatron somehow didn't know about this is deeply funny.

And his personality is similar to canon except his role is much tamer, just going around base and scolding bots for breaking rules and insubordination, smacking them around but only in the typical consequence-free G1 way. Undoubtedly has it out for Starscream. He'd probably be the one to get remade into Cyclonus too.

I think we usually make G1 Tarn a bounty hunter but OOOOOO? G1 TARN BEING MEGATRON'S LIVING THRONE?????

There's fun implications there, especially in that "actually this silly thing could be a lot darker than the series intended" G1 fashion

And that would be something Hasbro would do to sell a new toy

And there are very fun ways we can lean into the rules lawyer part of Tarn's personality here in a G1 sense (especially considering the G1 decepticons and how they aren't usually ones for rules)

Consider: instead of being remade into Cyclonus, his fate is left up to interpretation until some random filler episode where we see an upgraded Tarn as an antagonist who is defeated/destroyed by the end of the episode his new toy is literally a repaint utilizing the same mold

this is what it feels like to be a shockwave fan

uhh guys, you know the kids are supposed to be the ones doing the science projects, right?

(both of the volcanoes explode and the entire school has to evacuate)

(ratchet and soundwave cope by splitting a bottle of wine later that evening before going and paying their husbands’ bail)

i had sm fun designing the waves for this au. i’ll probably do a little bit of tweaking but overall im happy with the designs. i tried to almost make them parallel wheeljack and ratchet in a way— shockwave’s lower arms/sleeves (?) are inverted from wheeljack’s and they both have a rounder upper torso, although shockwave’s is sharper. soundwave and ratchet have the same shape of upper torso, but like WJ’s and shockwave’s arms, the shapes are inverted from each other. then they both have the sharp chevron things and the armor on the sides of their helmet. a lot of this came from their original G1 designs of course, it’s not like im totally inventing their designs here, but i def tried to play into the whole “these are the evil versions of wheeljack and ratchet and grimlock in the neighborhood” concept while simplifying their designs for this au/style. also here’s the bg on its own—

thank you to everyone that’s been leaving nice comments in the tags/sending me asks about this au! and thank you @goose-theseeker for giving me ideas on how to incorporate wavewave and rumble and frenzy into this au as well!

There goes Optimus, making his underlings incredibly uncomfortable with his weird crush on his genocidal maniac arch-nemesis again.

I love how g1 goes from “mind-boggling animation errors that you have to rewind and watch again just to confirm something that ridiculous and blatant actually ocurred just now” to “I feel like a new universe was just birthed by the stunning beauty of this art go fuck a crankshaft George Lucas”
