Happy Constructicon Week! I decided to participate and draw a little something for each character’s day. @constructiconweek
Day one is Scavenger let’s gooo! My Scav is the fastest on her treads of the Constructicon crew, zipping around work sites to return with tons of data for the others gathered by its complex network of sensors. Her vocalizer can only beep, so she communicates most through sign language or a sort of Morse code with its beeps. She also enjoys texting in the gestalt link chat. Its favorite thing about Earth is magical girl anime, and she thinks it’s the coolest thing humans have made. Long Haul will watch with it, and she LARPs with Mixmaster in their off time. It’s a real team player full of pep!
Portrait of Scavenger for @constructiconweek - stupidly rushed, but I didn't know Constructicon Week was a thing until like 2 PM today? ^^; I've been inactive in fandom too fucking long. -__-
Anyway. Timelapse included, so everyone can get a look at me hating myself while I worked on this.
(Yes, the pose is from that fucking episode. :p I really wanted to capture the feel of him talking with his hands, and there was a nice closeup in that scene.)
I'll be posting them here as well as reblogging with an AO3 link because they're all short pieces. :)
What Once Was
Day 2: Long Haul | Formula

Fic Summary: In a moment of peace that was either the End of the War or a Temporary Truce (no one was quite sure where they stood yet), the Constructicons claimed the shattered remains of Crystal City as their own. So far, no one else had raised a fuss, leaving them free to rebuild as they wished.
Chapter Summary: Bored out of his cranium, Long Haul jumped at a chance to get away from all the team brainiacs.
He might not have been a science guy, but even Long Haul was aware that things were best when done to a schedule. A formula, if one wanted to consider it such. He was a big fan of them, really. Schedules. Formulas. Whatever a mech wanted to call them. As much as he groused over not being a frontliner when the fighting was still going on, he still liked knowing rushing into anything half-cocked was bad. He was more than happy to leave doing something like that to those Stunticon sparklings.
While considering the perks of the formulaic approach to life, Long Haul came to the conclusion that maybe he thought this because he was surrounded by a bunch of nerds. Well, maybe not Bonecrusher, but certainly the rest of the gang. All he had to do was look around at the rest of the Constructicons as they went about their days with nothing more than the need to further their knowledge and skills. Much to his disgust, it was science this and science that, in utter smorgasbord of sciencey scrap that left him staring blankly when they attempted to explain any of it to him. Sure, as a Constructicon he understood more than the average mech, but that didn't mean he understood Mixmaster in the slightest when the guy got deep into his brain module and muttered aloud to himself. (Of course, Mixmaster had Bonecrusher more than willing to spend unending joors listening to him all moony-opticked. He didn't need Long Haul.)
He was just ready to get on to putting it all to work in building and creating already.
When the excited comm came in over the gestalt bond from the kid, Long Haul was more than willing to head over into the distant district of Crystal City Scavenger had wandered to. It would certainly break up his day a bit to get out and take his time finding his way over there. No one needed to know if he just happened to dawdle his way through town.
::Hey, Scrapper,:: he blasted over the shared frequency, ::I'll get over there and give Scav a hand—::
::Don't worry about it!:: Scavenger interrupted, sounding exactly like a sparkling with the new toy they'd asked for. ::I'm already on my way back. This is going to be the best surprise any of you have seen in I don't know how long!::
Long Haul frowned behind his mask, optics narrowing behind his visor, as well. He was not losing this chance to escape the doldrums of listening to the science nonsense the rest of the team got up to with all their peacetime freedom. Bonecrusher could sit and listen to it—at least from Mixmaster—all he wanted. Long Haul wasn't having it. ::Nah nah nah, that's not the way we're gonna do this,:: Long Haul replied before anyone else could jump on the bond. ::You are gonna tell me what direction you're coming from and I'll meet you somewhere in the middle.::
He was up and out of their bunker, transformed and rolling through the rubble, the moment Scavenger's answer came through. When Scrapper's incoming reprimand started to bubble on the far end, Long Haul slammed the bond shut, leaving open only the connection to Scavenger. Scrapper was free to yell at him when he and Scavenger got back.
This story is for Construticon week 2023 and is for Day 1 Scavenger and Piston. Started with a little 100 word fic hope you enjoy!
Work Text:
He watched the little propeller spinning around, it was simple, a glass piston heated by a small ethanol lamp to power the motor and turn the propeller. It was small, weak, and pointless really, maybe a piece of art and engineering for Scrapper and Hook to enjoy for a fleeting moment, something Mixmaster would try to improve by finding a better heat source, too hands off for LongHaul and Bonecrusher, but to Scavenger it a was beautiful decoration, a wonderful little waste of credits, a lovely little treasure that couldn’t do much but he was happy to have found it.

Yeah this is a 100 words so I posted it here in full but here the Ao3 link!
Searching piston toys brought me to Stirling engines, if you were wondering, they are neat with little wheels you can set on a coffee cup for the same effect. Here the youtube video of the toy wrote about
It’s Day 1 of Constructicn Week!! Thanks for coming back or joining us this year hope you have fun!
