Here's two more sets of lineups -- I've reached 60 cyberforms

Another Lineup

Deep-dive: An Ardurian espionage agent who's come to Cybertron to work in their intelligence division, he's already familiar with the ins and outs of bureaucracy, even if he hates it. He's a mobile unit with long stilted limbs which allows him mobility on the cold, rocky surface of his home world.

Glyph: Originally from Prion, a sandy colony planet, the little dune buggy is trying very hard to blend in with the hustle and bustle of Cybertron's biggest (and somehow least interesting city) Iacon. It's definitely weird going from a peaceful world to one where people cut you off and call you an aft, though.

Sureshock: The smartest and quietest of her troupe, Sureshock doesn't speak -- like at all -- but she's still the defacto leader, and Grindor and High Wire don't dare give her trouble. A Cybertron native, she popped out of the ground one day.

Lancer: One of the younger members of a group formed by Chromia (or at least, one that Chromia takes responsibility for), as a former delivery-mech, she's fast on her uh... wheel. However, she does show her age with a slightly immature, attention-seeking streak.

Nightbird: A Catharsian (distinctly NOT cybertronian, thank you!) who's honestly quite sick of the Cybertronians getting all the attention around the galaxy. What's so great about them other than the fact they're sort of compatible genetically anyways?

Tarantulas: Once upon a very, very long time ago he wasn't a spider at all, and he had quite impressive prospects... but that was then, of course. Now he's content to research, and to follow an old bunkmate to the ends of the Earth.

Three other sets of twins!

Jetfire & Jetstorm. A set of Devisiun twins who can combine into one very large jet, or function as two smaller jets. Jetstorm is the younger twin, by 0.23 nanokliks, and she also has a hypertropic strabismus.

Sideswipe & Sunstreaker. Twins from NOT DEVISIUN, they each have independent alt-modes, and can't combine. Sunstreaker thinks of himself as something extra special, and it is a daily test for Sideswipe to not throttle him for the annoyance.

Skids & Mudflap. Brought to life by the Allspark on Earth, they make up two halves of an ice cream truck and also cannot get along for the life of them. They're also the youngest set of twins, being not even old enough to drink by the standards of Earth.

#tf:f #transformers: fractal #transformers fan continuity #transformers au #rotf but without the racism #also bc i do see a pink and white van around that i SWEAR must be the original #bc it was filmed in my state #it's possible that i see the real former ice cream truck in real life #and i get happy when i see it like 'awww theyre coming to say hi :D'

As mentioned in the post about relationships and socially acceptable cybertronian incest -- here's Jazz and Arcee and their kids, Karmin, Blaster, and Toaster.

Toaster's slightly smaller, since he stayed in his pod so long that they almost thought he was a dud (he was lazy and wanted to stay in there forever) but he's out now. They're all around 12~ stellar cycles old which is roughly when cybertronians reach sexual maturity

#tf:f #transformers: fractal #transformers fan continuity #transformers au #the reason blaster is younger than his cassettes while soundwave is older is--#because cassettes can pick their carriers and carriers can pick their cassettes. it goes both ways. rewind went 'holy shit a random kid'#it's karmin with an i bc that's how the brand spells it on amazon -- and her legs are part of a hairdryer her arms area flat iron #and her little tail thing is a steam roller

The quintessential "burger" of Cybertron

It's a patty made of condensed and bulked up energon slurry mix and filled with a ground protein source. It has the symbol of shanix stamped on one side, and is often a handheld on the go meal for the working bot. It's not uncommon to see street stalls or vendors who specialize in selling them.

When fortifying the slurry some minerals may be mixed in to change the color of the "dough", and often specific colors may be tied to certain events or festivals. The celebration of Deliverance Day uses manganese to help color the "dough" and make it purple (which manganese does in purpurite and sugilite) to symbolize unity (from a past war which included blue and red as separate colors, but was between city-states Tarn and Helex

The protein-filling is made either of ground up, powdered scraplet worms (often mixed with other things to create a better filling and texture), or of ground Skace, or ground Ironeel (like a lamprey with small vestigial fin-legs it uses to cover small amounts of ground on actual land).

Anyways, here's Rally with her regular order: Sliced Ironeel and hot-wire mix with regular energon

#tf:f #transformers: fractal #transformers fan continuity #it's intended to resemble a pupusa/arepa! there can be plain varieties without fillings similar to butter/cheese filled arepas #as well as sweet/sour ones with more dessert elements including a chilled mercury one #the currency symbol stamp is similar to 10 won bread in south korea which is shaped like a 10 won coin and has cheese inside #i love thinking about mundane cultural elements its really fun! like... what was cybertron like BEFORE the war #iacon grabbing tarn and helex: make up <- yes this is how that war ended #then there was the golden period after

"Hey when you say something is for the girls can you include us, Bulkhead and Rewind?"

I accidentally named him rewing in the file because my finger slipped!

Characters, right to left: Rally (OC), Bulkhead, Greenlight, Barbette (OC), Skydive (OC), Divot (canon, but with an original name and new colors), Red Alert, Lightbright, and Rewind

notes:

here's what divot originally looked like! (the one with greens and blues -- i didn't draw the staff)

Red Alert is blue based on an AZ Maricopa county ambulance

So whats the cybertronian food equivalent of "just rice with some bullshit"?

OOO YAY!

So of what I have now, the general consensus of "rice with some bullshit" would be slurried energon, which makes it into an almost porridge-like consistency (but when it has certain minerals added to it it can become almost like a dough, though I need to work out what kinds) so...

slurried energon in a bowl (all bowls have lips/diviots because they don't use spoons, they eat out of the bowl directly, mouth to bowl) with additions of either worms (scraplets in this continuity, which can be fermented, dried, pickled, crisped in hot oil etc..) and/or Skace, which are worm-eaters, but also pretty annoying and make up a pretty good chunk of "livestock/protein" in their diets.

the yellow fruit-like thing is sour, and a bunch of pods combined in one plant, with each pod having the sort of gummy coating of a tide pod. They're like... kill a human sour. Sometimes they're popped and the juice is poured over things to flavor or ferment them.

Workng on some anatomy stuff now

here's a really quick one with the bug family, plotting out where their first and second stomachs are.

1st stomach connects to the fuel sharing systems which appear as either boobs (waspinator), teats (hornet), or fuel lines that run along some part of the body, branching out from that stomach (bee and YJ).

2nd stomach connects to the self-constrained tubing where energon solidifies and is left in a gelatinized form. The tubes expand when filled, and will heat up when a bot is hungry or running very hot, allowing the energon to melt and re-liquify, before it's drained back into the second stomach and fully digested.

#tf:f #transformers: fractal #hopefully my first page in the big anatomy thing is the spark one!

I like that you keep calling wasp "Wasp(inator)" like thats the full legal name. Not waspinator, wasp(inator)

ahahahaaaa he also writes it like that funny enough. Like, Wasp is the legally recognized name, but he explicitly goes by Waspinator (which writing that would null & void his paperwork) so he circumvents it by writing it like that.

I have to actually work out WHAT their alphabet looks like, and maybe make a font of it, but depending on whether he uses their alphabet or english it's slightly different

english - Wasp(inator)

cybertronic - Wasp//Inator

#transformers: fractal #tf:f #the slashes are likely drawn as just pure rectangles and denote a non-legal name which includes the legal name #so people who havent undergone name changes (due to class and poverty or being recognized as legally deceased and unable to)#can still write letters and contracts and stuff

BUG FAMILY BUG FAMILY

Left to right: Yellowjacket, Bumblebee, Hornet, Wasp(inator)

I have a timelapse, but it broke on here for some reason

to celebrate me not sucking bad on this latest quiz -- Perceptor!

design notes:

legs are columniform (fused together) and his little tread things are below there -- he moves kinda like a roomba, but a fair bit quicker.

his scope and focuser (visor) are removable, and the focuser is a work aid for his vision issues (nystagmus & foggy vision) so he doesn't usually use it on the field, even though he probably needs one out there too. (once he gets access to a battle-form focuser and a backup of the work one he gets better about wearing it)

the column of his legs are based on a bustle -- half bc they existed during marie curie's life and half bc i thought of it while falling asleep.

I stole (some) of the colors from a pinterest image of pantone palettes bc i liked it

The eyelashes are supposed to keep his eyes clear, and even compared to other bots, are unusually thick/long. (guy who bats his eyelashes at his coworkers)

#tf:f #transformers: fractal #transformers fan continuity #transformers au #preceptor #i think his holoform would also be in a bustle. and he never says anything about it or anything. just has a bustle and a giant gun
