Scramble is a six-changer apprentice doing her best to be a ninja despite her love of flashy visuals in battle
Skipbeat, Angel, and Noname are part of a story I have in development about them escaping a ruined colony, I'll get more into that after I draw the final member, Wingover.
I'm finally sitting down and writing all this down, this is the lore on Noname, Wingover, Skipbeat, and Angel, who I've posted art for before but will also put in this as relevant.
First things first, quick side note: This symbol will show up in some pictures
This is Skipbeat's signature, any image with it was drawn by her! It's the Pre-Modern "S" and "B" smashed together. No with that out of the way...
What is Tebesk?
Tebesk was a Cybertronian colony planet, initially used for mining, then later also grew as a moderately big energy research hub due to the planet's abundant energy sources. Right before the war started, a research project meant to harness the planet's energy went awry and left the planet surrounded buy an electrical storm in the atmosphere, blocking out communications and wrecking any ship trying to go in or out. Tebesk was already divided by a large wealth disparity, mostly caused by the divide of the scientists and the miners, and things only went worse after the storm started, an event that would go on to be known as the Blackout. The 3 major cities, Naerun, Rudern, and Cinion got taken over by the most powerful as fortresses. Naerun became the hardest city to get into, operating under despotic rule by a former researcher called Oxide, however still had the most resources from pre-Blackout. Rudern was taken over by the former miners and operates under "survival of the fittest." Cinion's ruler is hidden from the public, and became more of a trading hub than a fortress due to being dangerously close towards a more violent area of the storm, however those without valuable resources are denied entry. Those not in charge of cities either proved their worth to the ruler of the city, or left to survive on their own in the desert of Tebesk. Most of the flyers made a pact to join forces and survive in a group called the Conspiracy, taking claim to the land in the mountains near Rudern, and constantly raid the city for resources.
Noname
Noname was sparked post-Blackout, and taken in very early by the ruler of Naerun, Oxide, due to his tank alt-mode making him a useful bodyguard. As Oxide's bodyguard, Noname lived a relatively easy existence in the "upper-class" of Naerun. Eventually, he discovered that he had a 3rd, animal alt-mode. He did his best to hide it, but when an assassination attempt was made on Oxide, Noname used his canine mode to save him. Oxide saw his animal mode as a sign of weakness, and his status as a triple changer as a sign of insanity, and exiled him, taking his name and the eyes from his animal alt mode. The experience left Noname with resentment towards being a triple-changer and his tank mode. Exiled, Noname began to wonder the desert alone, until he met Wingover.
Wingover
Wingover was sparked around the same time as Noname , and she was taken in early by the Conspiracy. She quickly became an expert flyer and valued member, even being close to earning a leadership position, but on a raid on Rudern for energy, she was cornered by the defense and had her wing ripped off. She was allowed to live, and she dragged herself back to the Conspiracy. The Conspiracy saw this as a personal failing, and deemed that without her flight, she could not longer aid the group so she too was exiled. Wingover and Noname met each other during their exiles, and made a pact to help each other survive.
Wingover and Noname both were exiled from their previous groups. Wingover holds a resentment for herself for in her own mind, letting herself get shot in her wing, ripping it off, she still tries to rationalize her previous group as being in the right. This is mostly due to Wingover being conditioned to value strength above all else and any mistake, failing, to be a sign of weakness that needs to be punished. Noname holds resentment for his previous group for turning on him the moment they discovered his 3rd mode, and does not hold any resentment for himself. He understands that he had no control over his situation, and is sort of happy that he did end up exiled as it led to him meeting Wingover. They were both alone for the first time when they met each other, and connected immediately. The problem is that Noname views their lives as being shaped because of their similar hardships, while Wingover views it as being in spite of. Noname sees what happened to both of them to be situations outside of their control that ended up shaping both of them for the better. Wingover sees the situations as being avoidable signs of weakness, that they both overcame, and sees Noname as the pinnacle of someone overcoming weakness. Along with this, they both have an idealized version of each other. Wingover comes from a culture valuing strength above all others, so she sees Noname as a powerful beast, a triple-changer, a tank, a beast mode with sharp teeth in claws, while in reality Noname resents the parts of him that make him seem hostile, he hates being a triple changer, he hates his tank mode. Noname views Wingover as being broken, lashing out due to a fear inside left from her injury and abandonment, its because of these that despite Wingover's outbursts he stays close to her. In reality, Wingover has let her hatred at herself turn her bitter. She lashes out to try to get some control back at her life, and to feel like she's no longer the one at fault. Wingover does verbally lash out at Noname quite a bit, and sees Noname ignoring her abuse as a sign of the strength that she idolize in him They both feel like they have a deep connection with each other, but its built on mutual misunderstandings about each other.
Skipbeat
Skipbeat, not of Tebesk. Skipbeat is from another colony, one she was taken from before she even went online by an alien species called the Chorcora. She was forced from basically the moment she gained consciousness to fight in an intergalactic gladiator ring. Being a Cybertronian, she had a pretty good advantage over most fights. While being kept there, she met a cybernetics surgeon named Kicks.
Kicks was initially working in the ring as an indentured servant, but would end up staying after his contract due to forming a paternal attachment towards Skipbeat. He was the one to give Skipper her name, guitar, and teach her Cybertronian. Kicks wanted Skipper to be free, but knew he would never be able to get the money to buy her from the ring himself. He began pleading to some of the wealthy watchers of the fights, and found a patron somewhat sympathetic for Skipper. The patron agreed to free Skipper in exchange for Kicks giving them cybernetic enhancements. The patron would end up taking Skipper without telling Kicks, and taking her to the closest Cybertronian colony, which unfortunately was Tebesk. She miraculously survived the landing, and was found by the other two, and she was let to join The Outsiders. With Skipbeat coming from outside, Noname begins to dream of escaping Tebesk, and the three set out to do so, the first plan being to make their own portal. Through a lot of challenging foraging and trading, they ended up with the supplies to make a portal, theoretically. Noname just needed to build it.
Side-note: Skipbeat and Wingover
Skipper doesn't like Wingover very much at the beginning due to her violent outbursts. Wingover feels jealousy towards Skipper in the beginning, due to in her mind, Skipper taking attention from Noname that would have been towards her instead. During this time, the two of them do their best to ignore each other. Sometime after Angel joins the group, when Noname wasn't around, Wingover ends up getting very upset due to life, and takes it out on Skipper. During this outburst, Wingover insults Skipper's speech amongst other things, causing her to become overwhelmed and become unable to speak. After this, Skipper leaves for a bit. Angel would go out to convince her to come back. Noname talked to Wingover while Skipper was gone, and while Wingover wouldn't apologize to anyone for a very long time, (not until they're off Tebesk) she did start making an active effort to be a bit nicer to Skipper, and with their being four of them now, her jealously left.
Angel
Angel is also not from Tebesk, he's from Master. Angel hates being on Master. He's socially ostracized, which fuels his obsession with portal technology, but also unfortunately eventually pushes him to use Syk. It's while under the influence that he accidentally activated one of his pet projects, interfered with the signal from Noname's portal, destroying all of the Outsider's hard work and stranding himself on Tebesk. Angel joins the Outsiders, and tells them that Tebesk actually had a pretty big portal research project, they just need to find the lab...
(Quick side-note, Angel would visit Earth sometime before this, where he adopted his Blue Angel aesthetic)
Getting off Tebesk
Most of the stuff I explore with these characters deal with their time on Tebesk, but they do eventually get off, and when that happens:
The four end up on Earth, due to the active Spacebridge there
Skipper wants to find Kicks again
Noname searches for a new purpose in life
Wingover finally confronts her patterns of behavior
Skipper starts writing music
Angel gets really into stunt flying
Wingover looks into getting her wing fixed, leading to a period of physical therapy to fly again
Noname continues his quest for a name, now with input from other Cybertronians
Angel starts to have a constant fear of the others leaving him now that they're off Tebesk
