splatformers amiright

ok so I made a few drawings a while back with Drillburst but I don't think I've explained the gist of it yet (sorry for anyone who has no idea about the source material lol)

Worldbuilding first:

The vast majority of Autobots are Inklings and Decepticons are Octolings, however there are exceptions to this rule. I hc that Magnus, Sunder, Jetfire, and Perceptor are octolings, while Breakdown and Brainstorm (mtmte) are inklings, for example.

Turf wars as played in the game are recreational in their postwar society, though real wars did indeed happen.

Humanity in this AU are instead the quintessons (what judd is is tbd).

Kamabo is a scientific division run entirely by Shockwave, which does biological experimentation to bolster the Octoling army as well as other shady science stuff. However they might also be dragging unlucky souls from the surface down into their facility for an experiment that is being kept secret from even Megatron himself.

So with that out of the way:

Kamabo is G9's stand-in in this AU. Overlord, who learns about the secret experimentation, crashes Shockwave's party with his own ulterior motives. Overlord is a high ranking officer in the military, octobrush user (probably dual wields a gun as well), who while being on Megatron's list of nuisances who don't follow orders, still has a title. However he doesn't care about his position and instead is interested in growing his own strength.

Overlord strikes a deal with Shockwave to subject his test subjects to "physical examinations" - aka trials of power that essentially put one test subject against another, or a series of hostile lifeforms in order to determine the strongest one who survives. Shockwave is reluctant and more interested in sanitization efforts, but allows him to run his own tests. The two are essentially joint heads of all the experiments, though Shockwave remains the head of Kamabo.

I'm still deciding who the CQ Cumber stand in is, but rn it's Snare. Other test subjects board the train, as there are multiple active at the same time.

Drillburst is an inkling who was probably part of some street gang before he was abducted and woke up in Kamabo's facility.

He's the 00803rd test subject for Overlord's wing of experiments (but the 43282nd overall). He does a very good job and passes every test with flying colors, despite how brutal they become. He believes in the promise that successfully completing every test will result in his freedom, but that's far from the truth.

When he completes the final test, he's rewarded with a final secret test that's basically him having to fight Overlord himself, and that goes just as well as expected - Drill gets pummeled hard. It's the inner Agent 3 fight but 3000 times harder. Fortunately Drill is able to escape by the skin of his teeth, much to the supervisor's ire.

The way he gets back up to the surface is probably the same way Agent 8 does in the game, though I'm still thinking about it

Drillburst uses either the rapid blaster or the jet squelcher

oh

[cuppajj]

Overlord is that monster that runs around with the paint brush in splatoon

You and I are on the same page

As a brush main I take that as a compliment :)
