I'm so in love w how u draw the Constructicons but Mixmaster in particular is..wow....he is so squarshed and kitty. 100 billion glitterhearts to you 💥💥💥

Geehee thank youu!! I get so much joy drawing him all squishy and gummy… my cutie my cutie!!

[raspberriessoda]

I love how you draw the Constructicons so much (Cybertronians), you make them look cute depending on the piece but also handsome and your colors are so nice to look at for them. Would love to see more of the team from you, especially more Scrapper and Hook (who have such a unique dynamic to me with how only Scrapper has ever earned Hook's trust) if you ever get the interest in drawing more of their handsome mech selves!

Thank you!! <33 I would definitely love to draw scrapper more, but his personality is still a bit of a black box to me so I want to get to know him better in canon before I draw him as much… that and his helm shape is something i’m still trying to understand 😭😭

[raspberriessoda]

maybe slightly less unhinged but do you think hook might cook like this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rtSlOY1aFTw

mostly the precision stuff

I imagine hook would be the type to make very quick simple meals and save his patience/energy for more important work, but i’m sure he’s haughty enough that if challenged, he would try this just to prove that he can haha

Cheerleader.. thought she needed me but I need her..!

This is probably incredibly ooc but scrapper keeps popping into my head lately whenever I listen to this song don’t ask why idk either. He cheers me on when work gets difficult <33

me and a friend were joking about this and i need someone with relevant experience to help me process this and i am picking you and your constructicon knowledge

do you think the Constructicons could ever be in a cooking competition because it feels like either everything will be on fire because nobody agrees on anything and Mixmaster probably killed the judges putting something too spicy in last minute or it'll be flawless to the point the opponent gets a headstart because the Constructicons build their own kitchen mid contest and still win because they're that good

I cannot tell if there is any between

Oh god me lmao?? I have to admit my structie knowledge is very limited because i’m still making my way through the tf media.. 😭

But based on what i do know,, i think the structies are actually considered to be one of the most cohesive/effective combiner teams in canon so i definitely believe they could hold up!!

I really enjoy the headcanon that mixmaster would be a great chef/baker since he’s already a skilled chemist, and the structies already have a lot of experience working together in construction even if they don’t always get along.. so i have faith they would pull through in the kitchen too 🙂‍↕️

Edit: guys thats crusher not scrapper im sorry i didnt draw him well 😭

Okay, so, Question

What/who exactly are the constructicons?

New to TF and tryna get a grasp on all the …. idk. mini groups? sub groups? sub factions? There’s predacons, constricons, stunticons(??), and combaticons and I barely understand what any of em do lmao. I think there’s also minicons???

Feel free to ramble if you wanna I dont mind a long winded explanation I just like to learn about TF so yap as you please

The constructicons are a group/faction(?) within the decepticons! You can recognize them by their iconic lime green and purple colors, and there’s typically 6 of them (L-R: long haul, scavenger, scrapper, hook, bonecrusher, mixmaster) but it may vary slightly depending on the continuity. They are the original 6 from g1 and are the most popular depiction of the group in canon and fanon! They all transform into construction vehicles (hence the name lmao) and can also combine into one giant character called devastator!

Many of the decepticons are grouped up into teams like the constructicons; like you mentioned there are also the combaticons who combine into bruticus, predacons who become predaking, and the stunticons who turn into menasor! These combiner teams are often considered in the lore to be some of the decepticons’ greatest assets because their combined forms are so destructive and powerful. There are also autobot combiner teams! Ex. the aerialbots combine into superion, and depending on the continuity the dinobots can turn into volcanicus :] there are probably many other teams i missed, this knowledge is just based on the tf media i’ve consumed so far. And you may see the term “gestalt” thrown around referring to these groups as well; afaik it’s pretty much exclusively a fanon term(?) but it implies a deeper bond/connection between the members of a combiner team that may not be explored as much in canon.

Minicons are different, to my understanding they’re more like a frame type/“race” than a faction? Like they’re literally transformers who are smaller than the typical cybertronian. And i think they have some typa special gimmick in tf armada? But i have not watched that show or read idw, which they also appear in, so i’m not too sure ^^”!!

I’m assuming the reason most decepticon characters are grouped up like this goes back to selling toys (like most other things in this franchise lol)—if you buy scrapper, great! You have a figure that transforms into a front-end loader but also a.. leg... Why not buy the rest of his team so they can all combine into devastator and he won’t be lonely?? Most children’s media villains are lumped together and marketed as a collective (ex pokemon villain teams) and in fiction they’re an easy way to pad out an army to outnumber the protagonists and create higher stakes (this is why starscream and his repainted models the seekers were created lol). These various teams are a good way to diversify the cast of characters!

Hopefully this answered some of your questions! If you wanna learn more about the structies or combiner groups in general i highly suggest looking them up on tfwiki :]!

[raspberriessoda]

I just need you to know how much I frigging ADORE your humanformer designs. Especially for Hook. 10000000000% adore them 💕

Gahh thank you!! It’s probably very evident that he is by far my favorite to draw.. I kinda put all my favorite design tropes into him LOL

Thank you to everyone who’s complimented my humanformer designs 🤧 I feel bad sometimes for not drawing robots as much as I should, so knowing that others enjoy my hfs really means a lot <33

[raspberriessoda]
