Dont mind me asking why im tryna draw this while i have to move to another place
Hi there again hello aha, I didn't think to be coming back so soon into your asks lol but something has been REALLY bothering me lately and its the fact that I genuinely do not remember where the idea that Krok used to be a historian was derived from, it's been bothering me for THREE DAYS now (yes I think about the Scavs too much; also in my sleep, thats how bad the brainrot is for these idiots)
My earliest memory of said info was reading it on his tf wiki page but I've looked through it and used ctrl+F even and its NOT there! Second earliest memory was your post about Starscream and him being headcanon'd as roommates absolutely despising each other during like idk cybertronian college (which was very funny btw, I saw that on twitter and found it really silly lol), so I chalked it up to "maybe it was a headcanon on tumblr that I thought was canon" but nope, because several other fanfiction I've read about the Scavengers have used the "Krok used to be a historian" thing as part of his backstory, almost as frequently (or rarely really) as people use him being a soccer player in TransTech
So uhh... do you happen to recall where that's ever said that lmfao?? Maybe I forgot a specific panel in IDW somewhere but ehhh nothing's coming to me rn... This isn't really urgent and i dont even know how I managed to stretch a simple question into a long ass ask but I guess that's just how my brain works
I hope ur having a good day as you read this btw :33
Oh hey! I am having a good day so far, thank you! 😊
As for where the whole historian thing came from, it was actually mentioned at the very end of issue 8 of the mtmte series where both the scavengers and the djd get very brief character cards. This one being krok's:
But outside of this it's never really mentioned again outside of issue 7-8.
In issue 7 his knowledge on the wars history is only really used to let both the audience and fulcrum know that the way the scavs are able to get by is because of him knowing where some of the mass graves are. And so that they can catch fulcrum up with everything that happened while he was unconscious.
After this it's not really mentioned again. The only time I could think off the top of my head that his knowledge in history is hinted at again is the issue where agonizer picks them up after the planet they're on gets swarmed by Deathsaurus' crew and the black block consortia (but I can't remember the issue number right now lol) and again with agonizer.
After that there's just a one off line where he quotes something tyrest probably said early on in the war.
Outside of these very brief instances there really isn't much else to this part of him. Which makes me wonder if jro wanted to do more with that but ultimately had to cut it out for some reason or he just decided it wasn't that big of an aspect to build upon unless necessary to give the audience and the those around him extra info.
I'm unsure if in other continuities he was also a historian but I'm almost certain he's just a strategist/right hand man across all variations. The historian part was probably tacked on last minute for exposition of sorts.
So. I understand where your confusion came from. Because for the longest time when I first got into them I also had no clue where the historian part came from lol.
Hope this kinda helped! Have a good one 😊
Drew this as I had the idea to order a custom shirt with an open matrix and this particular Rodimus quote from the end of Lost Light because I love it too much <33
Was planning to wear this to my viewing of TF One but I think it might not arrive in time lolz
---
UPDATE: For all the people who've been asking me to share the shirt, it's finally up for grabs on my Redbubble (along with some other stuff I've slapped the design on like button pins, stickers, and prints aha)!!
🔗: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/165625289 (link changed cuz the old one got taken down aha)
Do not that I'm not too experienced with Redbubble (only put up some stickers there when I started and that was it lmao), so reach out to me if there's any errors in the designs and whatnot, I'll hope to help fix it or get through with RB customer service to help aha
ALSO ALSO, I do NOT recommend getting the design on any shirt other than plain black, it was hard enough to make as transparent as it is aha
Cooking up some buuuullllshiiitttt
Had a blast working on this piece for @allsparkzines' I, Starscream zine! Thank you so much for letting me become contributor again :]]!
Terribly overdue but THE SCAVS PIECE IS FINALLY FINISHED WAAHH!!
This one was for one of the winners of the raffle hosted by @transformers4palestine a while back, months late but I think it came out so good :DD!
I've always wanted to draw the Scavs together so I thank the winner I was assigned to so much for giving me full freedom for this piece, this was a ton of fun :]]
