#mothanon continuity

Don’t ask me about the last one idk how it got there. Anyways I had the idea of What If Soundwave’s sound abilities were strong enough that it could damage even him? Like maybe yeah he’s more resilient to sound, but I’m sure even for him the super intense vibrations burst his own face platings eventually too 🤔 I also just wanted to show off his bat teeth tbh. Referenced by vampire bats, technically that would mean his teeth are specialized to make sure a mech bleeds

Primus forbid a mech eats in peace, Starscream 😒 so what if he eats/drinks energon like its caught prey

[dailymothanon]

So, I honestly just had this funky little idea of Shockwave with a removable head because honestly why not tbh 🤷 so, a not that different redesign from his prime design; but tbh most Shockwave designs are very similar enough to me that I didnt really think much on changing it 😌 but yknow. Just some waves being freaks. I guess it’s a little homage towards the empurata too. Other than that I didn’t really have other ideas but lowkey I’m open to hearing others

[dailymothanon]

Starscream’s turn… a Royal seeker as he’s designated in my thing; I’d imagine at first he was a scientist but then became a soldier; I mostly took up One, Amarda, and G1 for this design 😌 it’s a simple design nothing crazy, but I was inspired by royal guards for him

I really liked TFA’s Starscream’s yknow. Screaming thing. So i made it so he could be not dissimilar to a pulsar star; gamma rays n all that; cuz they’re known to be “loud”; essentially screaming stars, therefore Starscream 😌 I think it’d be real cool

[dailymothanon]

Primus forbid a mech be a little bit insane from their own ability and the horrors of being in a horrible institute 😒 can’t do anything in Cybertron these days. This isn’t necessarily part of my continuity’s story cuz it doesnt really have one yet so just imagine whatever story you want for this tbh. Maybe you’d get some ideas

[dailymothanon]

yahh. Like my new design for Soundwave I have made one for Thundercracker (perhaps for my own fan continuity)! I wanted to give him some cowboy things simply cuz he had a southern accent in I think the Unicron Triology, so boots- yes the spurs are lightning bolts— and sort of a vest (the white parts are supposed to be like tassels) cuz seekers when I look at them I see vests kinda… and I mostly chose One and IDW for most things else cuz it’s the easiest for me 😌 I DO have a lot of seeker culture world building in my continuity, but that’s for another time (maybe when I get the trine done). Long story short the three of them come from different seeker tribes(?), Thunders, Royals, and uh. Goths?

TC is great in most temperatures! Generates plenty of heat from all the lightning he absorbs and also therefore is quite resistant towards heat; but Soundwave being a bat… not the greatest in the cold sometimes, this is why he’s always has Ravage and Laserbeak with him, huddling up like how irl bats do!

Also a buncha Soundwave dancing, cuz his wings reminded me of Jarabe Tapatío— and they make great references for him to dance!

[dailymothanon]

Skywarp’s redesign! Since TC was old western/cowboy inspired, I decided to do the same with Skywarp but with alt fashion-ish? Whatever, but he’s got platform heels now cuz they’re perfect for him. I won’t talk about the seeker tribes yet but uraahh. His and TC’s are my more developed ones and Starscream is a slower development 😌 while I’m still working on Soundwave cuz he’s still my goat

The bat girls are fightingg 💔💔 yes Skywarp has the magnetic pedes too like Soundwave, it’s part of his tribes things but Soundwave’s not a part of it, he just happens to have them because he’s closer to a bat urhh biologically? He’s a creature is the shortest answer

[dailymothanon]

I redesigned my redesign a little bit; mostly the wings cuz they were awkward and for some reason I forgot bat wings are their fingers; anyways I do have more ideas for him this time so this is also what it’s about 😛

What I imagine is that his bat wings Could be screens! (Btw the Shockwave here is just a filler design I don’t yet have any redesign ideas for him) Either or both screens in general, and or holographic screens; more specifically could be attributed to Haptic Holography, in which it could be interacted with and be felt via ultrasonic waves (from Soundwave) which the person of contact could feel it tactically although it being a hologram;;

both handy for meetings (sensors could be used to make users be able to interact with the imagery) And combat if you asked me, like imagine thinking you’re fighting someone yet you really aren’t, you’re just punching air but you don’t know that, and you have no way of winning cuz you’re getting hit by sound waves that Soundwave is emitting at the right time and place yet you cannot hear but you assume it’s your opponent hitting back, and your opponent never falters cuz they’re not real

This is also just a concept of his bridging system he had in Prime 🤔 I figured he could utilize a more silent and stealthy space bridge instead of that bright and loud bridge that Prime had going on 🙄 essentially Soundwave ripping a hole in a space to get from one side of a pocket to the other; but likely he wasn’t forged with the ability like Skywarp’s warping is, and instead he had it implemented to him later on 😌 and also yeah he has his typical telepathy/intense hearing abilities; tho I have yet to consider if he’d be able to do echolocation 🤔 purely for the ultra sonic stuff and being a bat probably

[dailymothanon]

I had this idea where Soundwave’s cassettes/symbiotes could combine into another mech, so I did that; and I like to think it’s partly thanks to already having an established bond between them all; I also think they’d also be able to transform into a Griffin for their alt mode, I also haven’t figured their height yet either 🤔 but I’m very happy on how they look! I haven’t yet gone thru their individual designs but I did end up fancying the name Alibi for their combiner form. Maybe they could be a double agent (non colored version below)

Starscream really has to learn not to poke at their goat 🙄 I’m sure he has better things to do than be like that smh
