Welcome to My Scraphead

for all my transformers needs! i have a main blog @a-non-ymouswriter but honestly i havent used that in a long while. i have no idea what i'm doing and i'm just here for the fictional alien robots that have gripped my hyperfixation so hard right now.

currently most familiar with Transformers: Prime, Transformers Animated, Transformers One, watched the first season of Earthspark. currently trying to watch Transformers Armada, planning to read the comics and watch other Transformers media.

Update: I have read MTMTE and Lost Light!

Current AO3 Fic(s):

Walking Armory : On Hold, Soul Eater OC Transmigration into Transformers Prime. Cliffjumper Lives. Skyquake Lives. Major Canon Divergence from the get go.

"Aka, Alien God sends a semi-feral lil' armory to aid his kids. There are various untold side-effects from this single action. "Whoops." Says Primus, unconcerned. More at 11. - Small Summary"

Twice the Primes: Ongoing, Continuity Soup, MegOp x2 (x4). Isekai and Transmigration. Major Canon Divergence.

"Optimus Trion, General Commander of the Autobot Elite Guard, is a war-weary warrior who fights alongside his once friend and enemy Megatron, General Commander of the Decepticons. The future seems grim, until not one, but two mysterious warriors, both wielding halves of the once-thought fictional Matrix of Leadership, suddenly appear. Two Primes at the same time.

The only problem is that no one knew who these two were as they tended to vanish after every battle. -Partial Summary"

Dance of the Fire Bot: Ongoing, Continuity Soup but mostly based on 2005 IDW and MTMTE, Reincarnation Fic with Hot Rod having Tanjiro's memories and abilities, Demon Slayer Crossover

"Hot Rod had always known he'd been weird the first moment he onlined his optics as a sparkling, he never really expected recreating the Demon Slayer corps from his human memories as Tanjiro when he grew up but then again, he hadn't been expecting demons to be on Cybertron.

However; these demons weren't exactly like in his memories, they weren't weak to the Sun and could easily hide among Cybertronians.

At least they were still weak to Breathing Styles. - Partial Summary"

TFP: Universal Observations: Ongoing, Aligned- mostly TFP focused, Reaction Fic to Alternate Universes. Eventually towards other continuities.

Thursday Update :D Shining Among The Shattered

have a good thursday everyone! was a bit late to update from planned but here we go!

[minersedgarsart]

You know who he is and what he's going to do.

[nonsscrapheap]

OMG, I'm excited. 😭✨

This week will be the final episode of the first season of Armada of PrimeSpark! But please, I'm begging you... don't let the episode leave us hanging. 🫠💔

And please, let Rumble be okay. She has to get better. 😭💖

To celebrate the end of the first season of Armada of PrimeSpark, here's a gift for you: Blasterwave and Shockwave! 💜✨

Because, out of all the possible places to sleep, Blasterwave decided that the best one was the shoulder of her second sire, Shockwave, while he works and tries with all his might not to wake her up. HAHAHA! 😭💜

Meanwhile, the cassettes who were in charge of taking care of Blasterwave are probably already starting to panic. 🤣✨

And thank you, by the way, for all the responses you give me about Blasterwave and Starstriker. 💖

(I'm not exaggerating when I say that I read each one about five times. 😭✨ And I admit that sometimes I feel a little embarrassed to reply because I still find it hard to believe that you liked this crazy idea about Blasterwave and Soundblaster. 💜)

They always manage to inspire me to draw more of them.

P.S.

Congratulations on getting the Starscream and Bumblebee figures! ✈️🐝✨

Also, congratulations on the progress of your other stories.

OMG, TFP: Universal Observations! 💖😭💖

And I hope you keep getting better. Take care of yourself! ✨💖

calling it the end of season one asdjapdh — i think it's more of a halfway point for season one?

"I'm begging you... don't let the episode leave us hanging. 🫠💔"

oughhh, about that... im so sorry katenull

it was entirely unintentional i assure you.

BLASTERWAVE AND SHOCKWAVE YESS DADWAVES FTW!!!

yes, absolutely, blasterwave would love to sleep on all her dads. shockwave being her fav. she's stealing his buffness for her growth.

BUT OUGH THANK YOU FOR THE DRAWING!! its so good, youre great at it. hopefully i can get that good someday. i do have a drawing tablet now but i'm not using it as much since i focus more on writing and my skills in drawing are... theyre okay. i need to practice drawing more, especially transformers stuff

its specifically rumble and frenzy panicking since they'd be cocky in babysitting but end up fumbling a bit. razorclaw knows exactly where blasterwave is, will she tell them? no, she's already by shockwave's side, watching.

IT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA OKAY! i love the thought of kids in the aftermath, and both blasterwave and starstriker are just, so good!

and basing them off of RiD is GENIUS especially since it WORKS SO WELL!!

like genuinely i can SEE RiD soundwave and starscream being the kids of Armada and Soundblaster! one day i will make art of them, and armada, and soundblaster and everything else of my own fics.

one day.

but right now im more of a writer than an artist.

yeahhh!! TFP UO and my other stories have a bit more progress, im really hoping to update uo soon, i just need to ;push it a bit more and hit 10k.

thanks! i hope you and everyone else have a wonderful day! im healing great and things have been good to me lately.

see yall later :)

Wednesday Time! Armada of Primespark Update

Armada of Primespark is now on hiatus! the last of the stockpile has been posted and we're gonna focus on other stuff for now!

but worry not, i already have chapter 11 written but again, it's going to be stocked up until i get to chapter 17 or chapter 20.

we'll see where things go! i'll see you tomorrow for Shining Among The Shattered :)

[lord-squiggletits]

Trying to untangle the problems I have with IDW1's way of writing the Autobots vs. Decepticons in terms of morality and all I have is a rough cluster of bullet points rather than a coherent thesis, but the bullet points are along the lines of:

From a genre perspective, I believe the Autobots could/would be "just as bad" as the Decepticons simply because it's written as a gritty/realistic military fiction, and in real life there is no army that never commits war crimes or abuses the other faction under the justification of "they're the bad guys/they're the ones who ruined society/etc"

However, I also think that the narrative/writers tried to have their cake and eat it too with the Autobots, where they simultaneously write them as committing heinous war crimes but also as the objectively better good guys

Which is bad because a lot of the times the way the Autobot "war crimes" exist doesn't feel like the way war crimes would feasibly exist under the code of ethics, worldbuilding, and leadership they have. Biggest culprit being JRO and writing The New Institute as still happening under Optimus' rule in secret even though 1. this makes Optimus look either stupid or ignorant in a way that he's not established to be or 2. this splits the Autobots into such divided internal factions morally that it's hard to imagine that the New Institute both went undiscovered AND there were never interpersonal conflicts among these different Autobots with different morality. I could go on and on about this specific point but this bullet point is already too long.

Even when the Autobots are textually stated to be just as bad as the Decepticons, it's always in a vague, unspecified way (the Aequitas files, what Tyrest saw in the trials that turned him into a neutral) and never in a way that's defined with explicit acts, explicit perpetrators, or rationales for how it was allowed to exist. We are entirely "told, not shown" that the Autobots are allegedly just as bad as the Decepticons, but it's never in a way that's revealed to the universe at large, never in a way where specific hero Autobots are actually held accountable or punished for what happens.

It also feels like a cover-up for flimsy writing to have these unspecified files/trials say "the Autobots are totally just as bad as the Decepticons" as an excuse to not actually specify what they did that was "just as bad" as something like, say, Grindcore, which was literally modeled after concentration camps. Like I'm sorry but even as a morally gray Autobots/flawed IDW Optimus enjoyer, there's no fucking in-character and rational way that you could tell me "yeah Optimus would totally endorse and allow concentration camps for Decepticons to be run." Which ties back to the second bullet point where I said that the writers try to make the Autobots just as bad, but not in a way that actually makes sense for the organization as it's run.

In general the writers want the Autobots to be just as bad as the Decepticons, except they (including notorious Megatron apologist JRO) seemingly can't let go of the over-the-top Decepticon monstrosity plotlines where they continuously have ridiculous shit like concentration camps, divisions solely dedicated to organic planetary genocide (Phase Sixers), an internal Stazi force dedicated solely to eradicating traitors to the cause (the DJD), multiple mad scientists that either partially or fully destroy whole planets in the name of their experiments, so on and so forth.... and then the best you can give me on the Autobot side is like, War Crimes Georg Prowl, Mesothulas (who was acting on Prowl's behest so that's technically a subset of Prowl's crimes), and the Wreckers.

Like really the faction morality in IDW1 seems to be a mix of authors wanting to have their cake and eat it too re: "the Autobots are morally gray BUT they're actually still the best heroes ever" OR just going "erm yeah the Autobots are just as bad um, throw in some unspecified war crimes that will never have a meaningful narrative impact ever" or "let's have some random Autobot or two be an absolute mass murderer torturing brainwashing evil freak and have them fill out the atrocity quota for the whole faction so that we can call the Autobots 'morally gray' even though the 'moral grayness' is entirely pinned on a handful of token evil Autobots."

It's very annoying because I COULD believe that the Autobots are just as bad as the Decepticons and I think there could've existed a version of IDW1 where this was written in a believable way, it's just that that didn't actually happen and people give the story credit (or get mad at it) for supposed political implications that weren't actually intelligently put in and were more just accidents or aborted plot ideas at best.

[lord-squiggletits]

Honestly I think the most problematic part of this is that the desperate need (either by the writers or the fandom) to make the Autobots "just as bad as the Decepticons" seems to me to be driven by the ultimate assumption that any conflict that has a clear Good Guy and Bad Guy should end in the Bad Guys being brutally quashed and deprived of rights forever, therefore we have to force this idea (whether it narratively makes sensd or not) that the Autobots are Just As Bad because if the Autobots are actually better than the Decepticons it means the Decepticons deserved to lose and get oppressed or whatever.

Like hey chiefs, what if the Decepticons are objectively worse than the Autobots AND they also don't deserve to be completely eradicated for their war crimes. What if we came up with a solution for the war that wasn't just "the better people get to survive and rebuild society and the worse ones should die starving in a hole."

Makes sense that not even canon could acknowledge that considering that the IDW1 writers oh-so-brilliantly had characters constantly prattling about how Cybertronians deserve to be homeless and go extinct unironically and this was posed as some sort of statement of penance for their crimes and not an objectively batshit thing to say lmao. And that the Decepticons were literally living in slums post-war and not a single author decided to make addressing that a priority.

[lord-squiggletits]

There's also the fact that, flawed politics and association w/ previous regime aside, the Autobots genuinely had more individual freedom than the Decepticons did meaning that Optimus was like, objectively a better leader for his people than Megatron for the Decepticons.

The DJD alone is a glaring condemnation of personal freedom, including the freedom to not want to fight in the war, and it's successful to the point that it's explicitly stated that most neutrals are ex-Autobots because every ex-Decepticon gets murdered (and thus there is no significant Decepticon coalition post-war to do things like, say, keeping them out of ghettos).

The Autobots having a guy who is nominally a religious figure but largely maintains secular-based policies is at least a little less bad than the guy who says "having personal religious beliefs is an executable offense because no Decepticon is allowed to believe in a higher power that isn't me."

At best you could point to the existence of the New Institute for the Autobots being comparably controlling of their numbers, but that's literally one of the aforementioned instances I was complaining about of "the authors telling us the Autobots are bad by giving one example and never mentioning it again or fully going through the implications" (not to mention weird timeline shit like how the Institute/New Institute was made/renewed under Nominus and Zeta respectively, but Brainstorm who's a wartime MTO was depicted as working for them). AFAIK we don't even get any kind of actual institutional scale of how many Autobots the New Institute affected. When we are told about Autobots being shadowplayed to fall in line, it's by Chromedome who was (AFAIK) talking about pre-war era work under Nominus/Sentinel/Zeta. And evidently they don't do it very stringently considering that there are hundreds of Autobots who defected and became neutrals while being extremely anti-Autobot.

Again I'm just reiterating my point from the previous reblogs that you can acknowledge that the Decepticons are objectively worse than the Autobots without then going "and the worst side in the war is irredeemably evil/deserves to be imprisoned or executed/rot in the margins of society."

Another print i’m going to bring to TFNation this year! Had fun drawing all these hands and the Thirteen :3

[toricoriot]

I finished reading Unicron. I think…It’s no fair. Optimus deserves better.

[toricoriot]

Orion meets Roller again. I wanted to see that.

[lord-squiggletits]

ORION AND ROLLER REUNINO YES I CAN DIE HAPPY

[dailymothanon]

That’s not just Soundwave’s burning energon, is it? Anyways I had this concept in my head for a good while 🤔 it’s just that the pose was quite hard to get.. yeah yeah another post about ES Soundwave losing a cassette who woulda thought 🙄 but in my defense Earthspark barely touched Soundwave like at all, so I’m just working with what I got…

[luwkade]

idw optimus‘ relationships be like:

optimus: senator shockwave is my good friend. *senator gets shadow played* optimus: roller is my best friend!! *roller disappears and optimus never sees him again* optimus: megatron and I can work together and be friends. *a war begins between them*

[r0bitt]

yall should also go read The One True Prime by @quetora by the way :3c

Progress Update of May 2026!

we're at the very end of may here, i would've done this sooner but i was a bit busy and i kind of forgot ;>u> whoops

but we're on schedule! monthly progress update begin!

TFP: Universal Observations;

built it up to 7k at this point, i'll update soon, probably next week in the first of june <3

Walking Armory;

i've started the chapter! not finished unfortunately

Dance of the Fire Bot;

still writing the next chapter, got sucked into writing for primespark first as well as shining since i'm almost done with the stockpile for it. but we're halfway there!

Armada of Primespark;

next week will be the last of the stockpile, Armada of Primespark will be on hiatus until i have the stockpile restocked! i've already started writing Chapter 11 so don't worry :)

Shining Among The Shattered;

PUBLISHED AND UPDATING! updates every Thursday!

i've got it stocked until chapter 8, already writing chapter 9 as we speak and will stop at chapter 10 to focus on my other stories.

No Matter How, Where, or When;

no progress on this, contemplating on keeping it on the back burner until i get to its au in Universal Observation. gives me more time to stockpile it more. it's got 5 chapters stockpiled, but i might wait even when i hit 10.

Kimestu no Kansatsu;

no progress, still on hold since kev needs to rest from college. but we'll see in june!

IRL;

pickleball has been really fun! i'm enjoying it :D

what i DID NOT enjoy, was being injured in june. i got bit by my dog bc of a stressful situation (DONT WORRY SHE DOESNT HAVE RABIES IM GOOD) but now it's pretty much healed up. couldnt write properly a few days UnU

HOWEVER, i also got an infection on my thigh and THAT has been annoying.

over all though, i'm healthy and whole!

i also got starscream and bumblebee as tf figures ehehehe, the starbee has been great. at some point, i'm getting more, but that's been put on hold for now.

im not burnt out, just juggling with a lot of stories. we're still going through it though!

that's it for now!

PROGRESS OF MAY DONE!

i'll see you all in june :)

[nonsscrapheap]

I demand Angst! I demand SUFFERING!

If Arcee gets to remember Cliffjumper, Starscream gets to remember Skyfire and his trine, Optimus gets to remember Elita-One…

Will Megatron get to remember Terminus? Or are you planning on not having him included?

I can imagine Megatron’s pure shock at seeing Terminus in another universe. Kind of like when Ekko saw Benzo alive in the alternate universe 💔❤️‍🩹

oh dont worry! there WILL be more suffering! megatron WILL see terminus, he's one of my fav other characters for transformers and if you havent read fire bot, terminus survives there and in shining among the shattered, he's an important character there.

terminus will live in a few aus in Universal Observation.

there is NO WAY i WASN'T going to include terminus, he just hasn't come up yet.

but he will

oh he will :)

[physzoo]

i keep drawing arcee from birds-eye view
