Woah, another new oc??? This one is Barb! I’ve had the idea about her for a while, but only recently solidified her a bunch into an actual character in the story. She is the daughter of Shockwave & Killer Bee in the Decepticon!Wasp timeline~!
DW!Timeline name key
Wasp -> Killer Bee
Bee -> Yellow Jacket
Briefest explanation of Barb, okay not really brief, CW: discussions of child abuse and (non sexual) grooming.
She is the youngest of Wasp/Killer Bee’s children in the Decepticon!Wasp timeline. Killer Bee had a daughter who defected early on. He also had a child, Fire Bug, with Yellow Jacket, but this child was physically disabled, and Yellow Jacket gave them up to the Autobots so Fire Bug would live. Something that Killer Bee never truly forgave him for..
Raised as a mech and called Sting, she was the child of Killer Bee and Shockwave. Shockwave decided that he’d give his Bugs ™ (Yellow Jacket & Killer Bee) a child who wouldn’t be broken, who wouldn’t defect, who wouldn’t betray their creators and break poor Killer Bee’s still aching spark.
So he conditioned her to be obedient. To obey. To not think twice about commands given to her by Shockwave, or any of her creators. Shockwave was her true sire, Killer Bee her carrier, and Yellow Jacket her honorary sire. These were the only people she knew for the first several years of her life, in total isolation besides them. And Shockwave ensured she wouldn’t appear difficult or emotional.
Then he sent her on a mission, and that’s where all her training unraveled into a mess of complicated problems.
She was sent to infiltrate the AW!Timeline Earthen Autobots, and catalogue their weaknesses to send back to Shockwave. Her alias would be Barb, a femme, something she was a bit too excited about. She was obedient, loyal, didn’t get attached.. well. She got attached to one mech.
Kaze’s persecutor, Malice. She described him as the “mean one”, always so intense and cruel and violent.
And, as Primus would have it, she was starting to get a crush~
But when asked to target Kaze specifically, she refused. And was punished. By Shockwave. And, now terrified of further punishment, she did as told. No, this punishment wasn’t the spider web of electrocution scars across her throat, those would come later~
She gathered the information, getting close to Kaze to trick them, but before she could hand over the “incriminating information” on this mech to Shockwave.. she confessed to them. To Malice.
And that leads into quite a mess of other things~
I’ll talk about those two later, I have so many doodles it’s kinda silly 😖 Kaze/Malice is my friend Lux’s oc btw! Absolute beloved of a character, I’ve drawn him so many times (and will draw him so many more).🙂↕️💖
Unrelated but recently had thoughts about making a more solid explanation of the various timeline counterparts of the main cast. Like the differences between the characters based on how Events have unfolded and changed them. Like DW!Opi is just.. tired. And sad. While AW!Opi is freshly grieving a partner but still has 4 kids to deal with. Like events have caused differences.
If there’s any character you’d specifically want me to prioritize do let me know 🙂↕️ some characters have new aliases, some are irreversibly changed from trauma, some are deceased.. some are in toxic relationships they refuse to step away from. It’s a mixed bag on what the reflections of the character will appear as. And, if they aren’t a main focus in the story, I could still give a brief rundown on the brief role they may have.
