I had an urge to draw and yeah...I let spin the wheel pick the characters and IT DID NOT GO WELL. This art took me 5 hours and 42 mins💔 For context, Starscream got kidnap by idk BUT Thrash and Breakdown tried to save him but ended up making fun of him (I MADE TS UP)
Here's the sketch :D
AND the reference from Pinterest (Guys blame the spin the wheel)
Vince from TFP had been my least fav human character from TF franchise but getting to know and slowly coming to full realization how rude the Maltos are I’m not sure if I should hate him or Alex&Dot Malto the most(Robby and Mo are rude too but I see it mostly because of the bad influence of their parents.People say the kids are the mirror of their parents).
I hate bullies but also hate the parents who force toxic positivity and have hypocritical mind.
Sadly, any criticism against the Maltos has a high chance of getting yourself accused of being racist. Doesn't matter that there's CANON examples of the family frequently being hypocritical, insensitive, selfish, and entitled jerks. Both the show and a portion of the fandom act like it's a serious offense to have a problem with them.
Case in point: S1E3 where the entire family treats Bee like crap, yet the show frames him as being the problem. If it was Megatron, Dot would've nipped that shit in the bud so fast. Yeah, Bee has an attitude in the beginning, but he actually makes an effort to change his behavior. On a side note, people seem to gloss over how the kids pretty much STOLE A FREAKING COW.
-Another instance that like no one brings up is how damn disrespectful the kids are for LARPing at a war memorial. Dot's a veteran of said War and Robby and Mo are old enough to know better. And we all know that if a random human dared to call them out, said human would be demonized.
I like the idea of the Maltos. Seriously, they could've easily been the new Greene or Burns family from Rescue Bots. However, you can't claim to have a wholesome family and then write them like they're straight from one of those toxic/dysfunctional and enmeshed families that's frequently seen on Reddit or drama series. S1 of ES prided itself on giving moral lessons, yet rarely ever has the Maltos face consequences for their behavior.
It's sad a portion of the fandom reduces Hashtag to just her interactions with Starscream. Her first major moment is making up a self insert story with her and Skywarp all while talking with an accent. She popped into existence and somehow convinced OP to try and fool Mandroid with a yuri backstory.
Earthspark: Lockdown is an AU where G.H.O.S.T. becomes a global threat and changes their mission to "bring all cybertronians together under one common goal" A.K.A: force them all to work as indentured servants and never let them go home.
Optimus Prime finds himself caught under G.H.O.S.T.'s claws, forced to "recruit" as many cybertronians as he can. He of course having tussled with G.H.O.S.T. and Mandroid before, feigns compliance and informs as many bots and humans alike that G.H.O.S.T. is on the hunt.
Many G.H.O.S.T. agents in Witwicky work as moles, helping to shield any known cybertronians in the area while others from new branches infiltrate the town to find and hunt them down.
With the aid of the Decepticons, particularly Tarantulas, a vast majority of cybertronians were able to assume human identities and assimilate into society once more.
G.H.O.S.T. is alerted when a bunch of cybertronians start disappearing from their radar en masse and deploys a specialized team created specifically for identifying and disarming cybertronians.
At this point only a few G.H.O.S.T. agents know of the terrans existence, even so, they also take up holoforms and a few of them even attend school alongside their human siblings.

GROUPS
AUTOBOTS:
WIth their leader busy trying to keep them hidden, the majority of the Autobots remain spread out. they only keep in contact with each other sometimes whenever Optimus has information for them. It was just like before for them... with the added challenge of masquerading as a species they are not.
DECEPTICONS:
The Decepticons like the Autobots take the initiative to spread out, but do have a base of operations that shifts around. There, they store their bodies and fuel them together.
Scientists are the only ones who stay behind at the bases, monitoring their comrades bodies.
