Decided to go back and redesign Predabite to be a little more in line with TFPs design style.

Heya, love your art especially Sparkbite and I just wanted to ask something (don’t feel any pressure to respond I’m just a little curious) do you have anymore headcannons on predabite (sparkbire who has press on cna)

Anyway I hope you have a nice day!

Predabite was what happened when shockwave used pradakings CNA instead of his own In order to cyber form the human he kidnapped.

In this version of events she was cyberformed first and then ended up losing her mind for a while and getting stuck in beast mode. After she gets stuck Shockwave clones Predaking and it’s the both of them he gives to Megatron.

They both end up getting sent out to hunt and attack the autobots.

Predaking regains his sentience before Sparkbite however and his attempts to communicate with her aren’t very successful until he manages to trick her into transforming.

Even in root mode her memories of being a human are very foggy but the longer she stays in her root mode the clearer they get and the angrier she gets.

This version of Sparkbite has a lot of rage issues and when in beast mode too long she has a hard time thinking clearly.

This turns out to be intentional on shockwaves part as he installed a component in her tracker that shorts out her higher brain functions while in beast mode. She and Predaking figure this out when they remove the trackers from themselves after they defect from the decepticons.

They don’t return to cybertron and shockwave never actually clones more predacons as both Sparkbite and Predaking teamed up are considered a pretty big threat. However after the events of the show and movie conclude she and Predaking discover the lab shockwave was planning on using to clone more Predacons and begin the process of creating more predacons themselves.

Sparkbites relationship with predaking isn’t romantic but it is very intense and has a very “knight pledged to their king” kinda vibe to it. She is very much his second in command and he values her insights and company a lot.
