Really fast doodle to try some major redesigning on one of my oldest Transformers OCs, Trickshot. He’s as much of a cocky show off as the name implies. I love this jerk.

I decided to finish that redesign doodle I did for Trickshot earlier this month. I forgot to give him a badge, but he’s a Decepticon.

Trickshot’s a cocky showoff, with a bad habit of completely skipping over the simplest solution to a problem in favor of something much more complicated and -in his mind- impressive. He’s more than willing to put himself directly in harm’s way if he thinks it could make for a great story, but eventually he does learn to value keeping himself mostly in one piece. Doesn't want to make his conjunx, Scanner, worry too much.

canon transformers stuff keeps making me sad lately, and the real world is too sad already for that to be very fun at all for me, so I'm thinking I'm going to dust off my tf OCs and just write some self-indulgent happy garbage maybe the fighting only just finally stopped and the husbands are going on a vacation together. they're celebrating the end of the war even though their faction lost, because if the Autobots aren't going to cart them all off to be executed or anything then they're going to get right to work building the rest of their lives together. If peace is really happening they're going to make the most of it maybe that one really cheerful friendly guy isn't really gone. surprise surprise he may be a coward but he's got a strong spark and a will to survive, he pulled through after the supposedly fatal crash and got patched up by one of those 'I don't care who you are i'm just trying to save everyone I can' types. defected immediately once he realized nobody would be chasing him down for it if they thought he was already dead. Finally opened up that bar he wanted out in a well-defended neutral system with an organic majority, lots of people there don't trust cybertronians but he's on his best behavior and even they can see that he's really not going to be a threat. He doesn't leave when the message comes that the fighting is stopped and everyone can go back to Cybertron. Yeah he misses his trinemates and worries how they're doing all the time, he misses Cybertron too. But this is the kind of life he wanted, meeting all sorts of interesting people and not having to kill any of them, doing something he actually enjoys. he's happy now, and frankly a little terrified that the war being over is too good to be true. But suddenly cybertronians of all sorts are a little more common around here, passing through on their trips back home. he owns one of the only bars that serves them in this system so he gets a lot of business, and a couple very familiar faces just walked through the door. there's some disbelief and confusion and maybe a flash of anger or two, but it ends in a lot of smiles and a long group hug that feels more like coming home than going back to cybertron ever could listen I just want cybertronians to be happy and safe ok. and I want decepticons who maybe aren't thrilled to have lost, but are still glad to take the chance to do something else with their lives. decepticons who aren't complete monsters, or who at least don't want to be ever again

And then there’s THIS asshole.

Why does everyone else in the world have really cool OCs and then I have boring dorks like:

Cheery hedonistic seeker who drinks too much too often and really just wishes his friends would stop dying, indulges in regular daydreams about settling down for a peaceful life with his pals after the war, too kindhearted and deserves better things, died in an unfair and inconsequential way long before anyone found any peace at all, dearly missed

Tiny gay monoformer who will probably try to punch you out if you ask what he turns into because he doesn’t turn into anything anymore and if you don’t like it you can fuck right off, has a husband who loves him for who he is and just wants him to be happy and safe

Also really gay speedster who thinks way too highly of himself and probably is secretly a fan of Jazz’s style, gets really really excited about things that go boom, hasn’t had any purpose or direction in life beyond serving the Decepticon cause for a long time, gets support from his tiny husband who believes in him and gives him hope for a future worth looking forward to

Inert walking bomb with a serious anxiety disorder, getting a second chance at life and to prove himself a loyal Decepticon, full of fear and regret, a good person who made some unwise decisions and paid the price, trying to find the good things in life despite it all

Unfinished sketch of Mer!Trickshot, just to feel out his design a little more. Trick is way too flamboyant not to have massive fins to show off and display with. Though I do admit I went a little overboard with sheer volume of tail fin, so I’ll probably scale it back in the future.
