Sketches of Kabula, head of the Titan's Guard. She is astute, imposing, and fiercely loyal to her titan and cityspeaker, which she expects the same of for all her troops. Her strength alone makes her a one mech force, striking apprehension into the ill-willed. Her jobs consist of patrolling the capital, communicating with district leaders, and answering calls for assistance. On some occasions, she ventures into the Darklands, combating the colony's forsaken kind on a quest to bring all of them to justice. All of these merits make her deserving of the colony's greatest warrior.

If she is doing none of these duties, then she is at the cityspeaker's side as her personal bodyguard. After the death of the original, she became part of the security measure to make sure such a horrific loss would never happen again. Though she respects and admires the captain, Tympani wishes Kabula didn't treat her with extreme alertness.

As the mouthpiece of the titan, the colony's cityspeaker is seen in society as a powerful oracle who must be protected at all costs. They are dressed helm to pede in the finest of silks, adorned with ununtrium jewelry in the shape of flowers. If she is not attending to her duties, or should the speaker wish to go out, then the captain of the Titan's Guard is at their side to protect them.

The current speaker has only been one for the past ten years, in a colony that has been scarred by the loss of the original speaker. While the inhabitants of the colony still revere the titan's mouthpiece and praise them, they're still yet to get used to another wearing the sacred garb. The aftershock of the first speaker's loss is also part of the reason why their protection has been suffocatingly heightened, to the point they are rarely alone.

More sketches for the colony world idea I had, featuring two of its most important forces

The most prominent police force in the colony's major cities is the Titan's Guard, with its headquarters situated in the capital. They're made of primarily beetleformers with tough carapaces that can withstand blades and blaster shots. They're fiercely loyal to the Titan and her speaker, with the captain swearing under oath to devote herself to the Titan until death. She's the strongest warrior the colony has known, and her force has kept the peace since she assumed her role.

Another important division are the Tunnelers, a subdivision of the colony's construction department, comprised of burrowing beastformers and bugformers, with moles and bees being a big percentage. They're tasked with constructing new and safe tunnels to other cities, resource gathering, and cave rescue. Their claws are coated with ununtrium - a resource that is naturally occurring and rich underneath the planet's surface.

Ok sooo... I know your bug planet has no contact with the rest of the universe but just for funsies - what if Shit Happens TM and MiniMint gets yeeten there? Idk teleport malfunction or sth. She's human-sized so she wouldn't stand out much. She would be pretty scared tho, not so much about herself but about her family freaking out (all of them have some degree of separation anxiety lol).

She always does her best to be independent. On Earth it was fine but being so young and tiny while on Cybertron frustrates her easily, even if by human standards she's an adult and has a degree in rocket science engineering. Luckily her adoptive family is very supportive. Other than that she's nice, friendly, nerdy and helpful.

Now what would Kabula do with such find?

I'm going to ignore the canon way anyone from Thalamhan would treat a cybertronian, since it would be too massive of a deal for anything casual, so instead I'll set it aside and just go off of the character without any of the cultural sentiment involved XD (if youd like that version then the shortened answer is that: cybertronian from another planet = Thalamhan is not alone = Gealach was right = everyone parties and/or goes crazy = instant celebrity status)

So the funny thing is, human-sized on Thalamhan is the same thing as human-sized on Cybertron; the only way Thalamites become human sized themselves is when they're off world and have to mass displace. Because of this, Mini would definitely stand out if she was noticed, and being so small, she would meet Kabula somewhere between her shin and knee XD In terms of interaction, I think Kabula would first not exchange pleasantries but have more of a discussion about how Mini will navigate the city at her size, all official business. If they were to actually have a proper conversation though, then Kabula would probably like her. Mini would remind her of Tympani, definitely, and she'd believe she'd have a better chance at sharing common interests with her instead. After all, Tympani doesn't tend to talk about her own nerdy interests with Kabula, since she knows she's not that kind of person. Too busy caring about the law for that! (Her girlfriend, on the other hand...)
