Alrightyyyy soft launching my tf one au !! (Long post ahead)
Ive been dying to share this for a while so im deciding to just get it out there even if things change in the future. im still working on it a lot !
Im starting with drift bc hes the most developed thus far, in fact this started because I had an idea about drift as a scavenger on the surface and ran with it. Here he is !!
I reaaaally wanna go on a long ramble about how I designed each of these because i love doing that, but im gonna save it for a seperate post. In the meantime, some things about drift’s three major designs/life stages
- Yup transmasc drift . Just cus ! It doesnt matter in any real way I just thought it was fun
- Drift is a cogless miner who’s sector is well known for its cruel and brutal supervisor. Its been nicknamed “the dead end”. Miners reassigned there know they wont get any higher.
- He’s pessimistic and prone to arguments. He knows something’s wrong. All of this is wrong. He hates his supervisor, his work, the cogged bots, their society, he doesnt think any of it is right, but he cant do anything about it
- The only hope is Gasket. Optimistic, friendly, endlessly kind, Gasket does his best to keep morale up. He makes the sector a community, keeps everyone together and close and looking out for each other
- Drift and him are very close, Drift cant understand his optimism but chases his light and the hope it gives him
- Take a guess what happens to Gasket
- Drift joins the cons at the end of the movie. He needs change and trusts Megatron’s actions more than a new prime
- As deadlock, he gains status, reputation, authority. Hes devoted to the cause and cant deny the rush of battle. He likes to feel deadly and in control.
- And is starting to remind himself of his previous supervisor.
- He becomes disillusioned. This isnt resistance, this is warmongering. megatron isnt as great of a leader as he thought. hes inexperienced, naive, fueled by hate and fury. He doesnt know what the end goal is, he just wants destruction. Ratchet was right.
- He becomes anxious, unsure, withdrawn. He intimidates and threatens others to keep their eyes off of him.
- He is. Deathly afraid of other bots perceiving him as weak.
- He doesnt know what to do anymore
- Brooding brooding brooding
- After defecting from the decepticons, Deadlock, after a long journey, makes his way back to Iacon and is accepted into the autobots.
- He has a lot of regrets, mainly he feels that he didnt appreciate Gasket or Wing enough before they died. Now he makes sure not to take anything for granted
- Hes devoted to those who gave him another chance
- Terrified that hes going to let them down
- optimistic, hes taking everything he’s been taught and moving forward
- Hes building his own future now
This is just an introduction ! Actual story stuff will be shared via comics and drawings and rambles :)
