DO NOT REPOST MY WORK.

Behold, my updated commission post. As always, it’s an extra 10$-15$ charge onto the end price to add a second character to any detailed drawing depending on design complexity, and this isn’t the only style I’ll draw in! If you’d prefer pixel art or a shaded sketch, I can do those too.

Here’s my patreon link!

How many times do i have to tell you people NOT TO REPOST MY SHIT WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST

[m0rbs]

I'll be real w/ you I thought it said homophobia au at first rather than hemophobia.

Just as i'd hoped.

[m0rbs]

[m0rbs]

RIGHT my friend recommended the name hemophobia for the TFP AU so that is what it shall be called until further notice

[m0rbs]

Can I just say I love your cat Arcee so much? Hee dumb little face and roundass chunky head. I love that thing. Teeny little pink goofball, she looks utterly ridiculous, I love her

and she loves you.

[m0rbs]

I swear I sent an ask about your cloud of a kitty Metroplex a while back, or do you specifically want asks about tfp Roddy?

AUGH, i'm sorry, i just never ended up seeing your ask! rest assured that those stupid cats still take up vital space in my brain. i just never clean up my inbox and it gets filled with bots like nobody's business

Your sick Hot Rod is making think about what would even happen if they found a cure, because there's not way it'd even be an easy heal. I'm not expecting him to survive tbh, but I am just kinda batting him around a little rn. Bc even if there was a magical cure (like lets say dark energon just disappeared from existence (also I just have the Hot Rod representing Cybertron thing stuck in my head oughhh)) I imagine if wouldn't go great, reasons being:

He's probably been sick for a while. His body is probably completely shaped around his sickness, to remove whatever support or even structure he had is gonna leave him weak. His body is probably a tad brittle and w/o the equivalent of mucus or whatever to bulk it up he might not be able to stand. He'll need a lot of new energon to flushed out and be replaced, filler material for holes in his body, he'll need to re-calibrate to the higher charge again. Just a whole load of things for recovery. Even then, he may end up with chronic pains or symptoms because his body can't fix something or won't

truthfully, i haven't decided whether he lives or not yet, but the odds of them managing to find a way to fix him are so catastrophically low. and you're exactly right; the healing process would be a NIGHTMARE.

the amount of energon alone that'd be required to flush him out is already almost too much to ask. the toxins in his system have a steady degenerative effect on any energon he takes in; you can't filter the toxins out of any energon that's come into contact with him. once it's in him, it's gone bad.

and that's not to mention that he'd probably be pretty far gone by the time they started fixing him; go too fast and it might shock his systems, go too slow and he'll die anyway.

i think she would have greatly preferred a hot pink autobot running around but it's okay, she understands

excuse this being made with a mouse in ms paint i just thought it was really funny

[m0rbs]

ok i really do need a tag for the AU but i'm coming up completely empty. my brain... i'm afraid it's been replaced with a die cast scale model of a 1978 dome zero

[m0rbs]

your hot rod tfp au is incredibly cool!! do you have a tag for it on your blog? have you written anything for it? I really like that hot rod doesn’t know about the prophecy and is just kind of ready to die killing a few more decepticons on his way out, that’s so deliciously terrible

i don't have a tag for it yet but i should probably come up with one.... if anyone has any ideas for a good one feel free to brainstorm with me

[m0rbs]

I can see tfp Roddy insisting to to stay behind when the decepticons find their base because as far as he’s aware he’s just some sick guy on a timer while Optimus is the PRIME, one of them is clearly more important to their success than the other.

Little Does He Know.

*approaching the enclosure with an ask*

Hello good content creator :D

If StarOP is happening what cross faction paring would you give to Megatron/? Any continuity.

If it's g1 then megaratch all the way. I'm a sucker for those freaks

[m0rbs]

the way you draw tfp Hot Rod is very pleasing to me…crusty shaking white dogs..someone put him in a purse….im not even into tfp in particular but i loveeeee cyberverse the the poisoned plot line and also roddy in general 🔥🔥

Anywho I like imagine Hot Rod growing more reckless the weaker he gets in an attempt to make up for not doing more because of his illness, which then scares the shit out of Op and Ratchet which then makes Roddy upset even MORE because he Doesn’t Even Know and so gets MORE reckless w it and you can see the cycle. One of these days they need to sit down and have a talk (challenge impossible)

Exactly!! Like He's Here To Help. Please; he's here to help and he's not here for long and he knows that; just let him do this. He just got here. The team's not attached to him in the way they are to each other—it's not like he has a human to look after—he can give his all to the cause while he still has something to give and that's exactly what he's gonna do! How is he supposed to know why it's making optimus so stressed? He barely knows the guy. Ratchet has known since his first scan that there's no saving him. What's the point in slowing down?

[m0rbs]

Thoughts on TFP starop?

I like it. A lot

[m0rbs]

Tbh this is just a "please talk more about your tfp!au Rodimus" I'm entranced by him

The role he plays in this AU is primarily one of Inadvertently Tormenting Optimus Prime. i have nothing against oppy, it's just how it worked out. if we tackle this with the assumption that there is a prophecy in place (that optimus is aware of) that lines up with previous iterations outlining Hot Rod as the bot destined to be the one true prime or whatever, then this AU pretty much centers around the war having gone on so long and having damaged things so badly that now the bot who's meant to fill that role is not going to live long enough to do so.

so hot rod, unaware of what his fate was initially supposed to be, winds up on earth a certain amount of time after coming into contact with the waste that poisoned him, and meets optimus, who is now being faced with a painfully direct predicament: either the war ends now, or the guy who was supposed to fix things in case optimus couldn't is going to die. and obviously ending the war in a timely manner isn't one of his strong suits, so what are you gonna do.

ratchet isn't having a field day with this either. considering so much of his character is built around the feeling that he can't do enough for the people around him, the fact that he just doesn't have the medical facilities or materials required to fix this guy (i doubt anywhere does by this point) tears him up an awful lot. as for hot rod's condition itself, he's kind of a walking bomb at this point? his energon is both a lot less effective at holding a charge and a lot more volatile, and is only deteriorating by the day; since his primary weapons are his built-in flamethrowers, it's a gamble on whether or not he'll accidentally ignite his own fuel and go up like a warhead every time he uses them.

if anything, the person least affected by all of this is hot rod. sure, he moreso expected to go out in a fight or a cool explosion than slowly dying from energon poisoning, but it's not like he's particularly considerate of his own life anyway.
