style practice with some jet set radio inspired music bots 🎶
as usual i immediately got carried away and designed some graffiti-ish text tags + also Prowl as the police and the "final boss"... ULTRA MAGNUS !!
edit: i also made a breakdown of the fashion details plus more!!
alt version as well as closeups and extras under the cut!
Fun extra facts/details:
There are two different fonts for Autobot and Decepticons, and the JBS! tag actually uses both! Soundwave’s "S" is the Decepticon one. The text on her hoodie (partially obscured) also says "SW"
All the text other than that and SWINDLE are in Autobot!
Jazz was the one who graffiti'd the police car- she's even still holding the spraycan :3c
The police cars in JSR are modelled after a 1970 Toyota Crown (thank you, Internet Game Cars Database) but I swapped it out for a Nissan Datsun as a homage to Prowl's alt mode. It... really looks kind of the same because how much of it is hidden but!! Now you know!!!!
Prowl's design is loosely based on his IDW design (bullbar) and his Prime design (visor)
I specifically chose Not to give Prowl a gun, but then I saw this panel in a screenshot of the game again and. yeah. noncanon to all this, but man what a wild thing to include in a game.
Ultra Magnus takes the place of Gouji Rokkaku because I thought it would be funny.
He's also obsessed with rules and order, which I thought was fitting for the setting. (He wouldn't try to summon a demon though.)
If you go with an IDWish slant, it even fits re: his successors sharing the same name and looking exactly like him 😂
ALSO the last bossfight has the boss at a set of turntables and I straight up was like haha what if. Desk instead.
Speaking of- I think his desk can roll around à la Eric Andre style from that one clip of him with Lil Nas.
And that's all! If you read all the way to the bottom, thank you! ily ❣️
After that and once he got home, D-16 cried out of joy.
Note: In this AU, Megatronus is really big, Prima reaches his hip. So you can imagine how small the others bots look when they're standing next to him.
HAPPY WAVEWAVE WEDNESDAY!!! 💙💜 I always headcanon that their love language is literally everything but words of affirmation. Just a bunch of introverts.
Also sorry for the lacklustre colouring💀💀. I impulsively bought press on nails in an attempt to curb my nail biting habit AND HOLY CRAP I CANT DO ANYTHINFHDISBF. They’re not even that long… I’m just so used to having access to the tips of my fingers.
So… Goldbug often shows up in cannon after Bee has died and gets brought back
And uhh, Bee was “dead” for 15 years in EarthSpark
Stands to reason that 15 years of isolation where you’re banned from contact with ANYONE (subsequently being forced to suffer the guilt of knowing all your loved ones think you’re dead) after several thousand years of war AND another unspecified time stuck alone on Cybertron fighting for your life, may drive one a little insane…
ON THAT NOTE!!
Have my GoldSpark AU
Where Bee invents Goldbug in his head to actually cope with literally every single thing that’s happened his entire life (similar to Steve and AA-Tron ect in TFO)
Except GB is just as protective of the Maltos as Bee and is not afraid to get his servos dirty
Idk how to draw ES bee, sue me
Plus a bonus sprinkling of my head cannon that Bee aged into an adult during his time in hiding because I enjoy emotionally hurting my faves :3
