The Starry Nook

Nice to meet you my friend!!!

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

It took me a little while, but I finally managed to finish this drawing of Axlera and Unique. These two lovable troublemakers have been living rent-free in my head for a long time now, so I was finally able to draw them together.

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it. 💙

Well, here’s Unique’s redesign! It took me a while to find a color palette I liked. I seriously tried everything, but nothing felt quite right.

Then the other day, a friend’s daughter came to visit and brought a pink toy ambulance with her. I don’t know why, but I ended up really liking the color combination, and it became the inspiration for this design.

Well, let me tell you a little about her story.

She was forged in Helex a few centuries before the war broke out. From a young age, she was deeply compassionate and loved caring for her patients. She was the top student in her class and graduated with honors from the University of Iacon.

She met Ratchet while they were both working at Iacon General Hospital. During one of their shifts, a group of bots injured in a laboratory accident was brought in. Ratchet yelled at all of them, calling them irresponsible. Unique was assigned to treat one of the engineers, who managed to make her smile with a sarcastic remark.

As time went on, that engineer would occasionally return with a new dent or injury. While Unique treated her, they talked. Then one day, the engineer asked her out.

Unique never quite knew why she said yes, but she thanked Primus that she did. One date became two, then three, and before they knew it, they had become conjux endura.

They were happy.

I’ll share the rest of her story later on. I’m also planning to revise Axlera’s story a bit. I hope you all enjoy them, and thank you for reading! 💙

Drift: Hmmm Rodimus: Hmmm? Drift: Hmm. Hm. Rodimus: Hmmm Drift and Rodimus: (nodding at each other) Ultra Magnus: Do they understand each other? Ratchet: They share the same brain cell. Of course they understand each other.

Guess who has a new hyperfixation! 😭

The Nature of Predators is such a fascinating story. I’ve been listening to a narration on YouTube and Spotify, and I’ve been completely hooked. It’s been the perfect thing to listen to while drawing some of the species as I imagine them.

I’ve redrawn her so many times, and I have a feeling this won’t be the last. Still, I think I’ve improved a bit at drawing Transformers. It’s not perfect, but it’s something :)

I will introduce her properly: her name is Axlera. A brilliant Cybertronian engineer… built to maintain, repair, preserve.

She was cold-constructed centuries before the war, assigned to machinery maintenance in Kaon. Her world was simple: parts, gears, systems that could be fixed if you understood them well enough. Everything had a solution… or so she believed.

Until Iacon.

A scholarship. An opportunity. A place where, for the first time, she wasn’t just a function, but someone who could choose. At first, she didn’t fit in. She never fully did. But then came the lab accident—an explosion caused by a certain mech who seems to make everything he touches blow up.

When the smoke cleared, she found herself among a small group of mechs who, like her, didn’t quite belong. Even the one who caused the explosion apologized a million times.

She formed bonds. Friendships. Something close to a home.

Nine hundred years later, she graduated. And she found her conjunx endura.

For a moment, everything made sense.

Then the war came.

Cities fell one after another. Safety and warmth became distant memories. She didn’t want to fight. She wasn’t a warrior. But she couldn’t leave. She couldn’t abandon those she loved.

So she did the only thing she knew how to do: build.

But this time, they weren’t systems meant to sustain life. They were weapons.

Machines designed to commit unforgivable acts.

Every time a spark went out—Autobot or Decepticon, it no longer mattered—she felt her own fracture a little more. There was no way to fix that. No spare parts.

Only cracks.

She kept going anyway. Because stopping meant thinking. And thinking meant understanding what she had become.

Until one day… she couldn’t anymore.

She requested reassignment away from the front lines. No one argued. Maybe she was no longer useful. Maybe she was too unstable.

For centuries, she limited herself to repairing ships. Metal. Circuits. Things that didn’t scream when they broke.

It was easier that way.

When Cybertron became habitable again, she returned home. The planet was still standing.

She wasn’t.

The streets were familiar, but they meant nothing. The memories were there… but they felt like they belonged to someone else.

She keeps functioning. She keeps repairing. She keeps existing.

But there are things not even the best engineer can fix.

And some parts… simply don’t fit back together.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you liked it! I still have other OCs with more stories that connect to Axlera’s. And in case you didn’t notice, the bot who caused the explosion was Wheeljack—I thought it’d be funny to include him since he’s one of my favorites.

Drift decides to flirt with Ratchet for the first time

Ratchet: First aid, the patient urgently needs a processor transplant! He's dying! (tries to strangle him)

I was winning! But my friend, who claimed they knew how to play, had no idea what they were doing! Okay, fine—I’m competitive

The power went out for a few hours on my day off 😭

My favorite Transformers character? Isn’t it obvious? Prowl! Nah, just kidding—Jazz is definitely in my top 10. I love his super positive vibe, and I really wish he showed up more often in the series or movies.

I’ve been wanting to try a semi-realistic style for a while, and Jazz volunteered 😈

Nature is truly beautiful.

A tiger story

A few days ago I went to the zoo with my camera. I’m not sure if I’m any good at photography, but I really enjoyed taking photos of those beautiful animals 💛

My cooking skills at their peak… (I definitely added too much salt 💀)

I think I can still save it… with some milk and a few prayers to the cooking gods 🙏

Thinking about what if sandstorm and octane were on earthspark.

[meweffect]

I spend so much time at work that it’s basically all I can think about—even in my dreams!

Last night I dreamed I was at the restaurant (I’m a waitress) taking orders when IDW Ultra Magnus walks in like he’s a regular customer. I go over to serve him and he tells me he’s waiting for someone, so I go attend other tables.

Then suddenly Megatron walks in. Obviously I get nervous. Turns out he’s there to have dinner with Ultra Magnus.

So I take their order, serve them their food, and in the end they leave me a very generous tip.

It was weird, but also pretty funny. Maybe one day I’ll make a comic based on it.
