I've been inspired by @noscribs-deactivated20260212 and @tytoadox transformer art and AUs
For my submas transformers I used New York subway trains as their alt mode. these trains don't have much colour variation so I thought graffiti could do that job
Extra stuff under the cut
i swear these hips don't lie. it took me so long to find a coat shape that didn't hide them too much
Anyway yay finally suoᴉʇɔǝlɟǝɹ AU designs!! AKA Emmet gets to experience three different wonderful versions of his brother and they're all great and none of them are dangerous or plotting to take over the city or anything. :)
Also Mega Cresselia, I mentioned before that I firmly believe that A. We were robbed and B. Her mega needs to have some sort of dream catcher inspiration, so I just made it myself! Both Darkrai and Cresselia give Ingo some neat outfit upgrades, basically just making his coat a little fancier and cooler with a bit of that good ol Pokemon magic ✨
Transcribed text from the first image is under the cut <3
uoᴉʇɔǝlɟǝɹ Ingo
-Manifestation of Emmet's mind + Darkrai's nightmare energy.
-Generally very kind and polite--much like the real Ingo.
-Because of Emmet's desire, he's verrrry strong, stronger than most "reflections" created by Darkrai! He has a lot of control over Hyperspace Lumiose.
-Exactly as he looked the day he vanished. AKA Emmet's idealized version of him.
-Colors + pattern directly based off Hyperspace Lumiose
-However over time his personality warps due to both Emmet + Darkrai's influence, turning him into...
Nightmare Ingo (AKA Darkrai Ingo)
-Negatively influenced by Emmet's desires and the overwhelming mega energy coming from Darkrai.
-Wants to "preserve" things as they are in order to keep Emmet with him.
-Has COMPLETELY lost the plot. He only acts on his instincts and is difficult to reason with.
-Since he was indirectly created by Darkrai he shares a lot of Darkrai's emotions--especially its fear, which drives him to extreme measures to keep Emmet safe. (He's terrified of hurting anybody, but is even more scared of being abandoned and left alone while he suffers from his uncontrollable nightmare power. Emmet is his lifeline :( )
-His goal: Expand Hyperspace Lumiose and eventually engulf the REAL Lumiose with nightmare power so his existence can be better solidified. This is all to ensure he can fulfill Emmet's desire to live with him in a dream...forever.
-Doesn't have a lot of control over himself. Deep down he knows what he's doing is wrong but he can't overpower the nightmare energy that is fueling him.
-There's only one true counter to Darkrai, and that's...
Ingo
-The real, actual Ingo! Holy shit!!
-Came back from being eeby-deebied to find his baby bro bro ISN'T EVEN HOME 😔
-After traveling to Lumiose, he finds out Emmet is inside a nightmare dimension of his own making.
-With some donuts (and a lot of help) he's able to encounter Cresselia and form a bond with her
-Due to his battle prowess and powerful connection with Pokemon, he's able to unlock Cresselia's full potential and perform mega evolution with her!
-Cresselia's dream power allows him to unlock a Special Outfit™
-He's on his way to kick Darkrai Ingo's ass and get his brother back, watch out ♥
This AU makes me insane and I'm making it everybody else's problem >:) (Lovingly)
