Everyone in TF ES in an AU where Earth and Cybertron (war ended) are showing Terratronus' emergence to the surface on LIVE.
All jokes aside, that has to be the most terrifying event to happen. With no warning, a titan of all things rises from underground in your small town, killing everything in its path. She was buried. One might think: ‘how long was she there? Certainly not before the war on Earth!’
Wips for a Vos titan/city-former design.
Trying to dig up canon lore for Cybertron + it's cities gets you itsy bitsy crumbs, which in turn means you can do whatever tf you want.
Again, trying to include some more bird like shape language into his design, playing around with the fact that his architecture would be treacherous to grounders/anyone without a flight based alt. mode.
A body made up of honey comb like hangars + tunnels, nesting spires, and sheer drops. Vos' central Spire/Citadel in city mode is what makes up the plume at the back of his helm in root mode.
Lore rambles under the cut:
Vos Andean is one of Cybertron's oldest titans, still alive, still active. In the present day of Cybertron (pre-war) Vos' current citizens treat him more like a myth than an active/living guardian. Vos' historical archives speak of eras when citizens would freely enter Vos' core to talk/interact with their titan, building the city and culture up together. Now a days Vos is a creature of folklore, most assume he's dead or asleep, locked in a long standing stasis.
Outside of Vos the city's history of being alive is unknown. If you're not a flight model mech you have no way of knowing that an entire city/district was/is a living sentient being. If you're a citizen of Vos, even if you believe the titan to be dead, you do not speak of him to outsiders. Vos + his people are vain, prideful, and know their worth. They don't waste words or time on those who do not respect them/their culture.
Vos as a city is all vertical, save for the honey comb of hangars and tunnels that make up the inner hollows of the city's spires. There are no roads or side walks, no bridges. You have to fly if you want to make your way around. The city and its culture are very secretive, its borders are edged with tall spires and deep ravines, keeping anyone without flight out. Other districts look at Vos and generally consider the city to be ugly and deeply unappealing. A mix stemming from disgust over Vos' more organic architecture and offense over the city's inaccessibility to other alt modes.
Culturally, Vos' inhabitants spend more time in their alt. modes than their root modes. Some citizens owning only hangars as opposed to habs.
Vos as an individual is very classical-dragon like. He takes pride in his city and citizens, hoards and protects them (whether they acknowledge him for it or not). A massive predator so assured of himself that he never second guesses his actions. Earned ego along side deep wells of patience (he's waited this long to obtain a new speaker, he can continue to wait to get what he wants). His people are his fledglings. He would gut Cybertron and decimate the rest of its inhabitants if it meant keeping his own safe.

About him:
Ok so Hex. He’s a spaceship, during war time he kind of works for autobots, i mean, he was an autobot yeah. But if there’s a stray mech out there you’re sure he’ll get it known that it wants to rescue them. Then after the war he’s not used for combat at all, rather being an actual cityformer as he has his little mech community inside that he drives around. He has a team of researchers as his crew, And Flashlight is his Cityspeaker ( @cosmique-oddity )
As for Hex himself, he likes to form an hologram of himself to vibe with the others mechs, but still needing his speaker to interpret what he says cause he either speak in way old cybertronian, WITH a broken voice box, or in hands. When he doesn’t manifest like that, it’s like living in a haunted place, he WILL make himself known (door opening, closing, via temps change, lights, cupboards…standard ghost stuff but it’s just the sassy man)
For his personality i would say he’s rather gentle, but very sassy and a bit of a diva if he wants to; as in he cares for people and he will make sure they are taken care of no matter how it happens. He’s chatty in his own way. More fun fact than personality: he cares a lot about his paint job. He will be upset if it gets scruffed, maybe even refusing to move until it’s fixed in some cases.
Before meeting with Flashlight, he was alive during a titan war. Vorns ago. He didn’t have any cityspeaker at the time, and there had been some dire tensions between multiple titans, him included. During one of the fights, his voicebox got broken and he got into emergency stasis when forcefully incased into an ice planet. Flashlight was the only one able to get him back online, eons later.
I was searching for any content of Terratronus because I'm really interested in her, even though she didn't have much to show. I decided to look at ArtStation and saw collections of artwork from Season 1 and 2 from artists who worked on Earthspark. They have full-scale character models - guess what I found?
OH MY GOODDD! YESS!!!! THIS IS WHAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE! I FRICKIN' CHARACTER MODEL IN CLEAR VIEW! WE NEEDED THEM! We can finally inspect the details and theorize. I don't know about anyone, but I find it weird she has these purple gradients around her red feet and on her shoulders (which I first saw on the S2 finale). It should be solid. Given my previous post about her rusty-looking shell, I wonder if she's actually purple.
