Woah, another new oc??? This one is Barb! I’ve had the idea about her for a while, but only recently solidified her a bunch into an actual character in the story. She is the daughter of Shockwave & Killer Bee in the Decepticon!Wasp timeline~!
DW!Timeline name key
Wasp -> Killer Bee
Bee -> Yellow Jacket
Briefest explanation of Barb, okay not really brief, CW: discussions of child abuse and (non sexual) grooming.
She is the youngest of Wasp/Killer Bee’s children in the Decepticon!Wasp timeline. Killer Bee had a daughter who defected early on. He also had a child, Fire Bug, with Yellow Jacket, but this child was physically disabled, and Yellow Jacket gave them up to the Autobots so Fire Bug would live. Something that Killer Bee never truly forgave him for..
Raised as a mech and called Sting, she was the child of Killer Bee and Shockwave. Shockwave decided that he’d give his Bugs ™ (Yellow Jacket & Killer Bee) a child who wouldn’t be broken, who wouldn’t defect, who wouldn’t betray their creators and break poor Killer Bee’s still aching spark.
So he conditioned her to be obedient. To obey. To not think twice about commands given to her by Shockwave, or any of her creators. Shockwave was her true sire, Killer Bee her carrier, and Yellow Jacket her honorary sire. These were the only people she knew for the first several years of her life, in total isolation besides them. And Shockwave ensured she wouldn’t appear difficult or emotional.
Then he sent her on a mission, and that’s where all her training unraveled into a mess of complicated problems.
She was sent to infiltrate the AW!Timeline Earthen Autobots, and catalogue their weaknesses to send back to Shockwave. Her alias would be Barb, a femme, something she was a bit too excited about. She was obedient, loyal, didn’t get attached.. well. She got attached to one mech.
Kaze’s persecutor, Malice. She described him as the “mean one”, always so intense and cruel and violent.
And, as Primus would have it, she was starting to get a crush~
But when asked to target Kaze specifically, she refused. And was punished. By Shockwave. And, now terrified of further punishment, she did as told. No, this punishment wasn’t the spider web of electrocution scars across her throat, those would come later~
She gathered the information, getting close to Kaze to trick them, but before she could hand over the “incriminating information” on this mech to Shockwave.. she confessed to them. To Malice.
And that leads into quite a mess of other things~
I’ll talk about those two later, I have so many doodles it’s kinda silly 😖 Kaze/Malice is my friend Lux’s oc btw! Absolute beloved of a character, I’ve drawn him so many times (and will draw him so many more).🙂↕️💖
Unrelated but recently had thoughts about making a more solid explanation of the various timeline counterparts of the main cast. Like the differences between the characters based on how Events have unfolded and changed them. Like DW!Opi is just.. tired. And sad. While AW!Opi is freshly grieving a partner but still has 4 kids to deal with. Like events have caused differences.
If there’s any character you’d specifically want me to prioritize do let me know 🙂↕️ some characters have new aliases, some are irreversibly changed from trauma, some are deceased.. some are in toxic relationships they refuse to step away from. It’s a mixed bag on what the reflections of the character will appear as. And, if they aren’t a main focus in the story, I could still give a brief rundown on the brief role they may have.
now i’m crying over dead roses, i could never let them go
designs by @bayheart for @wctfa as well
technically fanart for @beeprowlz‘s dead roses vid. bc i think abt it so fuckign much. brainworms <3 which is funny bc i gave fawn shockwasp brainworms first. now they are returning the favor inadvertently <3
Barb au? Barb au! She’s an oc I have, daughter of shockwave & wasp from TFA, and I recently made two aus for her.. sorta.
The first (& most recent, like a few days old) is a trolls au! She’s now a pop techno troll while her beloved Malice is a rock troll and they getta be cute and silly together~ design is still a work in progress, also obviously shockwave is the techno troll being a creep and menace in a lab deep in the ocean. Cuz of course. Lured wasp in siren style, since ooh pretty pop troll, far from his clan, an outcast like me~
Doodles from class, I’m having so much trouble drawing trolls again, and even a few years ago during the height of my fixation I never figured out their stupid chibi doll proportions. Sob.
Lastly!!!! Send Help (2026) AU!!!!! Sorta. Took some liberties, and it doesn’t really matter if it’s accurate to real life, but in the main story I’m making, the character Barb watches this movie and gets obsessed. I did, too! Watched it twice in theatre, revolving it in my brain, yes yes.
Barb watches the movie, and decides to make a sort of fanfic of it? But she is Linda Liddle, and Megatron is Bradley Preston. Well. She calls Megatron “Mason” in the story. And she isn’t Linda, of course, but her self insert sona Barbie is. And Barbie is so much braver and stronger than Barb ever was~
I wanna do a proper drawing of this scene, not one from memory, and maybe draw other scenes, cuz my fixation on barb & her various ships + my fixation on Send Help is causing me to be very very silly.
Also, the au/fic isn’t one-to-one, Megatron/Mason doesn’t have a Zuri to love him and look for him. Since no one could actually love Megatron. He’s alone and deserves to be alone.
haha what if we were cadets in the academy and we were both boys and flirting and kind of in love but one of us was a spy and had no other choice but to incriminate the other as the spy because at the time you still felt loyalty to your faction but years later you regret your decision more than anything but its too late the damage is done and all your left with is immense, crushing guilt and grief
