How many sparklings does Ice Queen have? Did she aide in their creation, or do they have no real relation?
Currently or in total over the centuries? O_o current;y she has 9 true hatchlings and 12 younglings [depending on the verse, @agitatedwarmachine has adopted a kidnapped Peddles that was taken by decepticons, and then surrendered to autobots so they wouldn’t get eaten by an angry colony].
Most of the crew on the Dreaded Wings’ is Icy’s. They were her hatchlings at some point. There’s a good chunk that aren’t, like the insecticons and some predacons and bots picked up from different dimensions.
The way I have it with Icy, being a ‘primal predacon’ (tfp-ish / aliened based), her ‘biology’ is alike to a komodo dragon.
--Where if needed a female, if she swims to a new island and there’s no males she can reproduce a sexually and the whole clutch won’t be related to her.
-- Icy is alike to that, though very rarely does she ‘have’ to do a clutch with no mate- I try to keep it that those clutches are very small compared to her normal [3-5 sparklings instead of the 12-23 sparklings range], and the there’s more of a chance of maximals more then all predacons. Not as institutionally aggressive you can say.
--Though even WITH a mate, I’m still doing it that most if not a whole ‘clutch’ of hatchlings/sparklings aren’t related to her, maybe one or two. Its because Primal predacons ARE extinct. Ice Queen, Scourge and Skybite are a fluke chance [survived in deep stasis as ‘eggs’ until modern times], and those like Predaking, Skylynx and Darksteel are clones with likely some modern tech/aid from Shockwave.
With only growing up with two other predacons, there’s a base instinct I guess that was triggered or something was flipped in Icy’s frame, that makes the clutches independent from her, and each other, not including rare siblings so later on once they are grown there’s the primal chance of more mates, or they can bond/mate with each other. Icy doesn’t though, she’s not interested.
That’s a lot of rambling XD and here is a little more.
As for aiding in their creation, yes, that’s a whoooole other ramble. but yes, she does, there’s three ways she can make new sparks. In the basics Icy goes into a ‘factory mode’ to help produce the frames of the sparklings as well as the sparks. The frame making is harder and takes longer, but the sparklings would hav ehte best chances. Most of the sparklings have a protective shells ‘eggs’ once they leave Icy’s frame, its filled with an extremely concentrated mix of nanites and energon so they can hatch on their own time. Some sparklings are in robot mode, others are in beast mode and have to grow to a point where parts are fully formed to transform.
Does that makes sense? I’m tired <_< mwahahah I’ll take my geeky self off now.
