Hello! And Welcome to the Revival series!

I’m Blackout. This is a Tumblr for my Transformer stories and related content in a specific connected universe.

It was an Idea me and a bunch of my friends had one day, and we did a bunch of stuff for it, but after awhile we had too much we wanted to do and a lot of my friends who I started this project on moved one to other things and left me to shape the story and characters how I wanted. I cut a lot of what we had been building together because it was too much for me to do by myself.

Im writing a comic about a crew of cybertronians from various different backgrounds who end up on the same ship. They are all OC’s, but it will include my versions of some cannon characters, they just won’t be the main focus.

There are also two fics I’m working on at the moment alongside the comic. One is a prominent side character, and the other is about Blitzwing and Bumblebee. I’m writing them because they are both stories I want to tell, and that are relevant to the plot of the comic

Into the Void

Mending a broken spark

I also done some worldbuilding around the story so if you want to search my blog for some of the here are the tags.

Practicing creating the biology for other types of Cybertronians. I always have a rough idea of how I want them to work but putting it to pen is always difficult, figured I’d start with an ant because they are rather simple. This rough draft is for Insceticons with Insecticon parents. For Abiomatic bots who get turned into Insecticons, the rules are a little different.

Bumblebee is an elite guard Cadet fresh out of boot camp, assigned to a unit with four other cadets to be mentored by in order to gain proper field experience before they earn their place in the elite guard. However, those plans where foiled when they accidentally discover the allspark, got chased by decepticons, crash landed on earth, where in stasis for 50 years, then some dumbass Decepticon managed to BREAK THE ALLSPARK. Now they were stuck scrambling to find all the other pieces before the Decepticons did.Blitzwing has been recently reformatted into a triple changer, thus getting his wish of a new body to start over in. All that he needs to do now is figure out how to make the nightmares go away, and he’ll finally be able to move on. Though, he wonders if it’s even be worth it when everyone he loves is dead. In an odd turn of fate, or more accurately the product of their own stupidity, they both end up on a remote planet with no way to call for help other than Blitzwing’s SOS beacon that was not guaranteed to either reach earth or either of their respective factions. It also doesnt help that everything on this Primus-forsaken planet seems determined to rip them apart.But at the very least it can’t get any worse.

I have three favorite characters, this is the first, at least I think he’s my favorite, our relationship is like the story of Job. Im God, and make life miserable. He’s Job, who just has to suffer through it. Then I give him a happy ending for not trying to off himself or become a super villain, and he gets almost everything back.

[therevivalseries]

Did Bumblebee’s awhile ago but finally got around to posting him after finishing the first two chapters of mending a broken spark!

[therevivalseries]

Decided to finally start posting characters refs, I often have trouble keeping these consistent over several characters so each will have their own flair.

The symbols for Primus and Unicron

How Primus is depicted often changes throughout stories and texts, however it is widely agreed that his form is always peaceful and unarmed. Most often a truck or car.

Unlike his brother, Unicron’s basic design stays consistent throughout all existing texts.

He is always a triple changer with three faces.

Many theologians argue that this form is symbolic, because according to all known knowledge of Cybertronian Biology, there is no possible way for a bot like that to survive.

Art I made for a chapter of my story. I’ve been trying to piece together the plot as best as I can, I decided to write a short story for Blitzwing so I can give my interpretation of him a better introduction.

Insignias

After the Exodus of biomatic Mecha left Cybertron, many different factions were created. The three you may already know are Predacons, Maximals, and Insecticons. However within the world of outcasts, their are 5 other factions, each spread across the vast Milky Way.

Predatorials - A terrestrial subspecies of Predacon. They are much more mechanical than their ancestors, and seem to share more common characteristics to abiomatic Mecha than most of the other biomatics. They have an Empress who leads the entirety of the Predatorial Empire. However, diplomatic disputes between them and the Frenzicons has caused fighting that has lead to the annihilation of half their population, also leaving them leaderless as the Empress was killed and the Princess mysteriously disappeared.

Frenzicons - A Nomatic group that moves from one outpost to the next. They have stashes all over the milky way and are the mongols of the Cybertronian world, pillaging cities of supplies to continue their endless quest of interstellar warfare. They are a large cultural mix of all biomatic cybertronians, but also have abiomatics who reside in their ranks. They are known to offer shelter to defected Decpticons and Autobots alike.

Angelzoids - a crossbreed of Insecticons and Bird-like Maximals. Their heritage gives them an odd, otherworldly appearance, and are considered sacred by many cultures. They are calm, and of gentle nature. They are a humble and modest people. They are generous, and have put their lives on the line for strangers throughout history. They are the only Faction that is not raiding by the Frenzicons.

Romanians - animal like Mecha who resemble an assortment of all aerial and terrestrial mythical creature excluding dragons. They are known for their extravagant arena and spectacular Gladiatorial fights. They are the Faction that pick the most fights with the Frenzicons.

Aquazoni - A Nautical group of Mecha whose altmodes resemble aquatic creatures both Mythical and non mythical. They are the least contacted group, as they construct most of their cities and palaces below the surface of the water.
