So... that skybound panel, in tfp style.

It's an impressive composition, and I needed it in my preferred iteration/ designs.

And black. Black background. Of course.

I honestly haven't read the skybound comics, nor do I plan to, so I don't have the faintest idea of why Megatron has no optics and is seemingly wired to Laserbeak, and why in Hell is he able to fix and restart bots. So, if anyone would be so kind to enlighten me...

First time drawing Knockout must be bloody and tragic, of course.

Here's Onyx, redesigned in a tfp style. I love how he's some kind of mechanical chimera, as if containing the major characteristics of potential variaties of beast-formers/Predacons. He's some of a bird or griffin, some of a centaur, also gives the overall impression of a dragon.

This piece is based on this chapter of Drop Forged, written by @solatronus for the @tf-bigbang, where Onyx fights Predaking to "voluntarily " get his collaboration. Nothing Predaking wouldn't do himself, although turned out disastrously for him...

The First Disciple

Now, my friend, I won't forget The darkness blinding me before we met It's all I need to remember you, as the light you were Even though, for sure, you won't remember me.

My old friend, these poems that you preach They're being wasted as you speak. Remind me once more how they came to be your calling? Do you even know you're falling? You know that for you I'd give an arm I'm one of few that never meant you harm And I heed you like I heed fire and thunder. But from time to time I wander, And lately I did wonder... If you did it all to make you feel desired Did it all to make you feel admired For love to replace your shame.

That's quite the group that you have gathered now Most of them, they just want you somehow. They would pay any price to kiss your skin. Don't tell me that is loving, You know that don't mean nothing. You know,You must know. And yet you give it all to make you feel desired Give it all to make you feel admired For love to replace your shame, For love to replace your shame! For us to praise your name... Now, my friend, I won't forget The darkness blinding me before we met It's all I need to remember you As the light you were Even though, for sure, You won't remember me... No, you won't remember me, I'm afraid that no amount of fame Will ever wash away the shame Of knowing not how to love your only friend Who will love you till the end.

Day 7: Idol (also fits 1: past)

Let's pretend this is not couple hours late for the megop week, can we?

Changing the sense of some paragraphs (namely, the fourth), and some words like "fame" for "power", "desired" for, perhaps, "respected", etc, this song perfectly matches how a young Optimus, just recently bestowed with the Matrix, would think about Megatron. About his (apparent) change; how he would try, in his naive manner, his belief and desire to always find a hint of fairness and hope in even the most iniquitous, to justify or at least understand Megatron's means and ways. How he would grief and bid farewell in a secret and silent way to that who, firstly, shook him out of the inertia he lived in, and for whom he always would hold a deep meaning, regardless of its name.

Idol because Orion used to admire him profoundly when he learned about him, listened to his words and got the opportunity to talk to him. The fascination was very tangible.
