Art for Halloween!! HeatChaseShadow as monsters!!
Quickshadow is a specter, Heatwave is a werewolf, and Chase is a vampire!
I had a lot of fun making these quick designs so enjoy the creatures
aight so I made a scrunky family tree for heatchaseshadow, just these funky creatures. Also as a side note I think when I design HotShot whenever that is, I’m gonna use part of his RBA design to include the blue in there cause now he has his sec and tri actually contributing to the gene pool
Pink (conjunx endura)
Blue (injector spark)
Green (relation mostly in cousin vibe (in this cause same frame line))
White (Distance/Fallout)
What happens when you want to go on a date night but each of you has issues being in public (on Cybertron)
On Earth is was a lot more easier and peaceful, when Cybertron came back to life they really wanted to at least try what’s considered a classic night out cause none of them ever had gotten on a real date night basically. Chase technically has the most experience but never made it far and never anywhere as fancy as they are. Quickshadow managed to drive away the other person cause of caution and again never this open air. and Heatwave just never went on dates so this is actually his first real one.
They’ve had quiet dates on Earth which was just strolling and being around each other. But once Cybertron was alive, and rebuilt enough for a fancy place to exist again, they decided to try it out. Unfortunately it sucked
Quickshadow hated the open air environment of it and not being a seating area that didn’t give her full view of her surroundings being jittery and constantly over her shoulder
Chase was experiencing micro-aggressions that were getting at him cause of being a cold construct and a cop that was getting at him leaving him quiet trying to make it through
Heatwave feeling like he’s failing at this date thing cause both of his partners aren’t having a good time, and the aura of this place just crashing into him and remembering why he hated his fame
They pay for drinks before even the entree comes in and leave cause they could not stand being there and agree they don’t need to go to a fancy place to have a good date. So all of them just hating going on a date night to a fancy restaurant

Do I just love giving Heatwave a messy life and relationships?
Yes, it brings me unbridled joy. Anyways enjoy me on the slander campaign I guess of his parents, I love emotionally torturing my favorite character
“Nope nope nope nope nope.” Trying to hide in the closet
“Heatwave come on, you have to.”
“No I don’t! I don’t have to do slag!”
“It’s one game Heatwave!”
“Yeah and then it’ll be another one after! I ain’t doing it!”
“It’s for charity!”
“Can’t they find another champ, I’m retired!”
“You’re also the prime now, so get your aft out of there!”
“Oh come on! I’ve already done a bunch of speeches this whole week, photo shoots, and conferences! It’s like bad parts of my lobbing career all over again!”
“Fragging Primus, it couldn’t have been that bad, you were only a three time champion, that’s not even the record.”
“…Technically I’m not a three time champion”
“What the frag does that mean?”
“…When I said that, …I mean I won three times in a row. …Not that I won only three times.”
“…How many did you win?”
“….13. And like all the ones I didn’t managed to get into the top five, mostly second each time”
“……okay you’re going to the game” dragging him out of there
“NOOOOOOOOOOO”
Anyways more Prometheus Prime au aka heatwave being prime and hating it au
“Nope, nope. I am not going on that stage.”
“Honey, you have to go on that stage.”
“Quickshadow is right. The occasion is momentous, if you don’t go on you could cause a diplomatic disaster.”
“Not my problem. I already deal with a dumb mayor, I’m not getting into damn politics and I’m definitely not going on that stage.”
“Dad didn’t you use to be a champ? I thought you loved this sort of thing?”
“Number 1, that was years ago. Number 2, I loved the applause and praise on the field. I did not love press conferences or having to say important things while smiling on camera while my brain melts from the sheer overload of things coming at me. Number 3, this is entirely separate levels of sheer importance, one is making me the reigning ex champ of a sport, the other is making me the most watched figure on Cybertron.”
“Does this mean I have to use Prometheus now whenever I want to brag to my friends about you?”
“Son, never tell anyone to use that name for me okay?”
“Okay”
“You’re still going on.”
“You very much are.”
“Oh come on.”
“You’ve dodged three of them already! You’re going on, and you’re going to give a rousing speech. Something profound or whatever, you want to get the news hounds off your back. Just do it and get it over with.”
“While rather harsh I believe in our conjunx’s statement to the fullest. You won’t be free until you speak in front of them all.”
“…I could always fake my death.”
“Dad!”
“Heatwave!”
“Okay okay I’ll do it.”
“You know for a guy with anger issues and a lot of pride, you can be a serious introvert.”
“Hey I like attention in certain forms. Just not when it’s for a camera or government based, or religiously, or when I have the damn matrix of leadership shoved into my chest and I have no clue why it would ever choose me but here we are.”
It takes awhile for Heatwave to ever let Red Alert and Inferno meet their grandkids. Technically they met Accelerate but they didn’t know Heatwave adopted him until some time after the initial reunion after so many years. Isn’t until Hot Shot is about 5 years old that he lets them back into his life officially and Hot Shot meets his grandunits.
It isn’t until he’s older that Hot Shot learns why he didn’t meet his grandparents until he was five and they had minimal contact with them.
Heatwave doesn’t fully contact them, he still keeps his distance. But it’s better at present day then it was back then when the war ended and especially when Hot Shot was forging. Chase and Quickshadow never asked him to try and reconnect with his parents or forgive them, but to at least talk and get everything out to see how it goes.
So yeah a lot of therapy for ASN Heatwave with Inferno and Red Alert to reach the point they are once RBA starts within universe.
For Prometheus Prime in the later future, it’s calmed now. They know that Heatwave will never truly forgive them for everything that happened back in the day, but they are doing what they can now to keep this postive relationship. They help him out with the whole being prime now thing
Incinerate/Heir of Cons never gets back in contact with his parents and keeps far away from them
