[Whumpuary 2026 | Day 9 | Shaky Hands | TFA OC: Rhinoceros Beetle]
Beetle is such a sweet spark, but can he really be anythin but his sires’ son~?
Bulkhead is his carrier, Mixmaster & Scrapper his sires (code & spark respectively), and Water Bug is his kid~ He’s tried to make his home a safe haven for others like him, for ones forgotten, neglected, or hurt. Unfortunately, a certain rotten insect tried to jeopardize this, and tried to force Beetle into relapsing into his favorite vice~
Even with the threat neutralized, Beetle is shaken, his addiction seizing his circuits, rocking his processor. Maybe one hit couldn’t hurt..
Fun fact, in case it wasn’t clear, his sires are what got him hooked on the synthetic & spiked energon~ when they groomed and manipulated him at a young age.. can’t be nuthin but their son, nuthin but what they molded him to be~
Was tempted to write instead of draw but the writing spirits didn’t favor me.. again, this one took a little less than 3 hours~
