If any of you sees similarities between how i write Barricade in hatchling and how TC writes Barricade in Crossed Sparks/Hardware Failure, it's fully intentional
His design is losely based on the IDW version and has a mostly black, blue and white colorscheme, for who is curious
Barricade is not planned to have his own chapter, but he is the Chief enforcer of Iacon, and a relatively close friend of Sentinel (no matter what the little bastard says)
he's a pretty easygoing person, and cares about his friends and underlings both - to the point of ignoring rules or law if it helps keeping them safe
althought sometimes it does not look like it, mostly because of his slightly nonchalant demeanor
picture his attitude as similar to Earthsparks grimlock, in a way
He is a mech forged halfway in the quintesson war, and has been among Sentinel's closer circles from the beginning because of his pedantry for whatever job he is assigned to
because of this he trusts Sentinel's words and judgment, sometimes even a little too much despite knowing the guy has more brains than common sense
If you read the fifth chapter of this fic, you'll know that he is not one for overexplaining or sharing information outside of what he considers necessary for what he has in mind
Jazz on the other hand HAS his own chapter, but i wanted to show him off anyway
He is a young enforcer and detective, he has completed the training required little before being sent on the field, and unfortunately his lack of experience is also part of why what happens on chap5 happens
despite this, he is still a competent enforcer and a good agent, and even Barricade can see it - which is why post chp 5 Jazz will get some extra training to put his best qualities to use
His growing relationship with Sentinel is one of the reasons for why Barricade trusts him with Sentinel's safety, and why never sends anyone to tailgate them whenever they are outside (Airachnid does not count, Barricade has no control over her whatsoever lol)
Honestly i feel like i should describe more of how Jazz is outside of his job but i feel like we all know how Jazz's character is, and we all know why nobody dislikes him
He is good friends with Bee, and as per chapter 5 he shares an apartment with Prowl - who is not aware of Jazz being kind of friend with Sentinel, otherwise he would have lost his shit
(he WILL lose his shit when he comes back from his first day at work and gets told by Jazz "oh yeah he is like that" after he complains)
later on in the story he is among the ones that leave Cybetron along with Optimus and Megatron to drive off the quintessons and force them in a real surrender rather than a simple retreat
because of this he is also one of the mechs that end up on earth first, and while he does not have a human buddy (i'm not even much of a fan of that concept tbh), he goes along well with Jack and Fowler both
He is also going to become a good friend with Smokescreen (picture tfPrime smokescreen, personality wise), and they feed into each other's bullshit a little
Barricade on the other hand remains on cybertron - he fought in the first war, and when he got to remain back and not return to the front lines, he jumped at the occasion
He later joins the main autobot forces at the earth base temporarly during Sentinel's first visit, and gets into a bit of tomfoolery
mostly because scaring humans by honking as they walk past his vehicle mode is, according to him, the funniest shit
Jazz does not approve of this outwardly but he finds it kinda funny and as long as no one is getting hurt it's fine
i usually end up forgtting about it, and i was forgetting about this one as well, but i spent quite some time coloring these under @tcfactory's coaching and i'm pretty proud of them
these belong to a minor/side crossover setting based on his fic "Crossed Sparks" and the SG version of my main au/fic, with the little pink guy functioning as a little spy/cleaner for the much bigger guy
Hihi! "RAAAAHHH" anon here, I know you said it won't be canon I'm your au but....
Did you ever have a opisent fankid design in mind?👀👀
hey anon!
Your question got me thinking really long honestly, way longer than what i would have thought lol
but the real answer is, unfortunately, just a vague "kinda?"
Mostly because in hatchling, assuming that's the setting you're referring to, sexual reproduction for transformers is not really a thing - and mostly because their interface method is not really a mean easy to make function with sexual reproduction in mind
HOWEVER
i did come up with something along the lines of a workaround, which i can share in a separate post if anyone is interested (i don't want to turn this into a lore dump lol) tho even there, there would be multiple complications for both Optimus and his idiot conjux
With the whole "Optimus is just a very socially presentable zombie" deal taking the crown... Which, can be solved, but would require Primus basically blasting his own spark energy through the matrix during a sparkmerge to trigger the budding, given Optimus does not really have a spark anymore - so the bitlet would be mostly Primus' rather than Optimus'
yet, if we assume they manage to work around it, i think they could have an offspring (if you want to have a chuckle, me and TCfactory joked that his guy here could be a rather solid concept for what would spawn out)
But overall, i'd say that an hypothetical kid could be a very large guy, like a class 10 to 13 (so between 18 and 25 meters in height, if not more), likely a carrying flight frame like a shuttle capable of boarding other mechs like Astrotrain, with a predominantly blue/purple color palette, maybe some very light lavander? idk where that came from but i had it in mind and it would not leave
maybe one day i will sketch down what they could look like, but right now i'm swamped with several things, including illustrations that i'm finishing, my uni courses ending, and the next chapter of hatchling :')
i hope this answered your question, lovely anon <3
i'm not even sure how to caption this, but i'm honestly moved that my first ever art collab is with @tcfactory, who offered to color this illustration i made a few days ago in an art zoomies induced frenzy and turn it into this absolute masterpiece
for who is interested, it is not a proper scene of Thee Way Lane but close enough-
Compared to Arcee, neither of them is meant to have their own chapter, for now, and i doubt either will ever show up in the fic itself outside of a few throwaway lines
however, they exist in the settings and i spent too much time thinking about them not to show them off.
So. Sunder and Nickel are part of the team of medics Sentinel trusted with his health before and after the assassination of the Primes
Nickel is his physician and general medic, she makes sure he is stll in health by pestering the shit out of him every once in a while
why? because she knows what his insides look like and that they WILL impair his life quality, especially as he gets older
(not to say that he will die young either way, but he likely would...)
either way. She is a pre war-end bot who was forged halfway in the quintesson war, but served as a civilian medic for most of the time, until most medics weren't called to serve as army doctors - and as i mentioned in another post, she was not aware of Sentinel's ploy
She is the perfect physicial for him because she is small enough to climb him like a tree and glare directly in his face whenever he took her prescriptions too lightly
she also has medic hands and can potentially perform surgery on him if necessary - she did in the past
Sunder, on the other side, is Sentinel's mnemo/neurosurgeon
he is not as batshit as he is in the IDW comics, but he has a taste for theatricals and likes a little too much the 'threateningly evil doctor' his facecard gives him
Sunder in Hatchling is an outlier, and his abilities allows him - via specialized scanners in his optics - to remotely access the memories and deep coding of everyone around him (within a radius of 15 to 25 mechanometers, depending how hard he focuses on the individual)
mnemosurgery howerver is still both pretty damaging and addicting for the surgeron, and i cannot stress enough how he has absolutely 0 control over his outlier
because of this, he followed (still does to be fair, even if not as much) specialized therapy courses to dampen the effects that being flashbanged with everyone's memories causes him and the addiction that came with it
After some time however, he did find a solution to his issue, that being "plucking his damn eyes out"
which, ironically, worked.
Like. he can focus to keep himself out of other mech's processors, but it was too tiring. so plucking his optics out and making them removable on demand felt more convenient
At some point Optimus lets him poke around his processor and review his memory files
From then on Sunder wants to put Optimus under a microscope and study him like a speciment.
Mostly because of how his whole ghost chat works, and how his processor seemingly straight up turns off and back on - with no lasting damage - every time he detatches from his frame to speak to either Primus or the Primes in private
the first time he also tried to review Optimus' live visual footage and got glared at by Prima - so he learned fast not to try that one
He and Nickel are conjuxed in all of this
why? because i drew them and instantly imagined malewife Sunder and his small angry wife Nickel and went "yeah makes sense"
(Their relationship started a few months after Sunder got out of therapy for the loss of his brother- it wasn't all roses and flowers of course, with both he and Nickel having their own fresh shit to deal with, but it worked out in the end)
anyway, when he gets too unhinged she smacks him with medical datapads and he returns normal again/hj
he tries to pull the doe eyes move on her and it would work better if he had eyes at all
also he forgets to turn on the lights wherever he goes and Nickel regularly bonks against the furniture trying to turn them on after him
RAAAAAAAHHHHHH, NOT AN ASK JUST POPPING IN TO SAY I LOVE YOUR HATCHLING FIC!!! Along with the doodles, omg Sentinel and Optimus are adorable😭💕
Can't wait for the next chapter
aaaaaH THANK YOU!!! i'm very happy you're enjoying the fic so far! hopefully you'll enjoy the rest as well <:3
and oouughhh i wish i had more free time like before, i have so many scenes i want to doodle,,, praying to the gods to have some free time soon (possibly free time where my brain isn't cooked lol)
In My last post i mentioned wanting to introduce some side characters - given i already showed plenty what Sentinel and Optimus look like in this au, it's fair some other guys get the spotlight!
And i think Arcee is the perfect gal for it hehe
Some lore context under the cut!
So... while she is planned to have her own chapter (chapter 11 should ber from her POV if all goes well), she is shown on a very specific context and i doubt i'll get to show more of what becomes of her after said chapter
so have some info on her!
Arcee had spent the first 6 vorns of civil war as a frontliner for the autobot forces, with an ongoing training as a spy, assassin, and secret agent!
she has a double role on the battle field, with a quicker, lighter build made for speed, and her hulking power armor that she can use to bruteforce her way in enemy lines
do not let the cute look of her sleek form fool you, she might be silly goofy and whimsical but she is also kinda unhinged like her IDW counterpart and will not hesitate to hop in her powerarmor to atomize your existence
the "Kills Cutely" is not an understatement lol
and about this... i was beautifully inspired by @zorangezest (i hope you don't mind the tag, credit is to be given where it's due) and her take on Arcee to both characterize/design my girl here AND to have Airachnid in her polycule
because honestly she's so fucking right - Arcee looking like she could aereosolize every bone in a human body is fantastic and tfOne Arcee/Airachnid has amazing potential and i love it
So her personality is basically an hybrid between Cyberverse and IDW
but now y'all are probably wondering, why the fuck is Sentinel there? the answer is simple. Which is that after the sixth vorn of civil war, the knowledge that Sentinel was still alive arrived to Megatron, mostly thanks to Soundwave intercepting radio communications, and Megs offered a ceasefire in exchange for the mech's life
Optimus had already grown fond enough of the raging bastard guy, so, he shoots that down instantly (leaving Megatron a bit confused to be entirely fair)
however, the fear that someone would be sent to take down their best tactician is fucking real and Prowl, much to his dismay, agrees that Sentinel needs more protection than just staying in Iacon and having Airachnid hover around him at all times (who unfortunately shines best in combact where she doesn't have to protect anyone, much less a cogless bot)
Arcee takes the job both because she is a good fighter, and because her speed also solves the problem of carrying infomation across large distances (so basically back to iacon) without resorting to telecommunications
(and also because she wanted to be closer to her girlfriends, Firestar and Chromia - Firestar is a firefighter basically, and a rescuer, while Chromia put her athletic carreer on halt in favor of joining the military accademy, and is currently an expert bomb tech)
saying she walked in Sentinel's office for the first time, and then heard nothing of what she was being said because she was staring, wide optics and mouth hanging open, at Airachnid, is putting it lightly
her massive crush for Airachnid is what fuelled to get in good terms with Sentinel, and tbh she never regretted it because they ended up vibing fairly well
post quintesson war the relationship between her polycule and Sentinel can only be described as "the token rich gay dude who hangs around with a polycule of lesbians and pays for their beautician appointments because he can"
the third pic captures this idea the best (the general reaction is someone trying to hit on Arcee in public as they were shopping lol)
while the pencil sketch in the first photo is Sentinel taking a pic for the four of them their first day on earth
Next introduction will likely be Sunder and Nickel, when i find the time,,,
i have no idea of at what number i am of doodle dumps, BUT. new batch.
(sorry if some time passed, i got back into writing and i'm both progressing the fic for this AND slowly cooking like. 4 other oneshots. plus i'm starting to work on my thesis, sooo...)
some lore context under the cut!
will do this in points because these are a bit disconnected lol
Optimus has a very arcaic name. It's written in glyphs that were strictly tied to a very ancient language spoken only by Primes basically given how old it was.
You will not see those glyphs anywhere else but his name, so if you see them somewhere and you don't read cybetronian, stay sure they are talking about big Op himself
the glyphs themselves are 3 major glyphs that in order are: an adjective, meaning perfection as in the optimal form of something, with an absolutistic connotation - the primacy glyph, coming from the second glyph of Primus' name, it denotes belonging and gives a sense religious servitude - and the "Prime" suffix, which indicates the political role he covers
the tldr of the first pic is that Optimus had an absolute dogshit handwriting early in his primacy and Sentinel was so ashamed and embarrassed to be his underling that metaphorically chained him to a desk to learn calligraphy
second pic: High end noble gatherings and events are a thing Optimus has to partecipate to, where he will be required (or at least expected) to dance.
he can't dance for shit. my man is a truck. he is not made for precise, light movements - Sentinel fixes this too with determination and willpower
(tbh he is mostly pissy he had to learn to write well and dance properly when his own primacy lasted like. 65 years, give it or take it. so he is inflicting his own pain on Optimus out of spite)
underneath is how Elita found out that Optimus had dogshit taste in mechs and ignored the "head of state/president/kind/pope should not be dating his political prisoner" unspoken rule
on the bottom right... it's a reference to this lol
shifting to the single panel ones... the first one is a character who i will introduce later on properly along with Nickel, but basically both he and her are his doctors - Sunder his his mnemo/neurosurgeon, which is needed for a guy who has like, 8 brains. While Nickel is his general doctor - Sunder knew about him not being a Prime, Nickel didn't, but took it rather well.
"but isn't sunder evil?" not here, he is just theatrical and looks like he belongs in FNaF 4, but he is a very competent and overall easygoing mech all things considered
To be honest i debated making Pharma his general doctor but Pharma feels like a "i'm too special for this" kind of doctor so he runs the hospital instead to compensate his crippling inferiority complexes toward Ratchet (who runs an old clinic for poorer mechs and cogless bots)
the following 2 are just how my favorutie bastard blorbo works daily, and a little something i wanted to publish for Valentine's day and forgor lol
last one is Optimus ragebaiting his conjux from halfway across the universe while stationed on earth lmao
@mikasslime has a very fun AU where Orion and Sentinel fall into the well together, one dead and one dying, and Primus smashes them into one, singular, combined Prime (in body and mind both; they function as a combiner that can't be separated because their components would just. die) because that was the only way to save them both, to a given degree of saving...
They definitely have an official name that's not silly at all and fitting for the kind of existential and body horror going on with that entire concept, but we've been calling them "Remix Prime", because it's too funny not to.
There's also a very fun fic about them that you should definitely read.
HE'S SO CUTE BUT SAD OML I WANNA JUST HUG HIM AND TELL HIM EVERYTHING GONNA BE OKAY
i put off replying to this for a while because every time i read it, it got me giggling and kicking my feet :33
Yeeeee,,, i'm so glad you like the little guy,,, he is such a cutie! I keep saying he has the same energy as those very small dogs that look one inconvenience away from crying, and the more i think about him the more it fits sdjkfsjkfds
