Merely Another Transformation

A blog dedicated to Transformers and all their forms, both in canon and fandom media.

I think to truly understand how popular Animorphs was in the 90's, you have to realize it was popular enough to get a Transformers line. That's no mean feat, especially before the Star Wars and Crossover lines.

Jazz is small cause he's based on the upcoming Core Class figure that's a SDCC Exclusive!

The great thing about this meme is that you can interchange Bumblebee and Charlie and it would still be true lmao.

i cannot help but parse this as 'imagine if at the end of a book there was a link and it took you to the author's youtube apology' help

[decepti-thots]

@quetzalpapalotl oh my god. he wrote the introduction and it's forty pages of the most smugly passive aggressive insults ever put to print

[transingthoseformers]

thinking about Soundwave quitting the decepticons for one reason or another, but beforehand he does that thing where he and his cassettes steal as many things as they can get away with before leaving for good

They get shockingly far before anything thinks twice because of the Soundwave factor

[transingthoseformers]

sobbing we damn well know everybody would listen

"Well alright if Soundwave says the ship needs to be repaired then I guess it needs repaired, I hope this doesn't cut into lunch smh"

Reboot time!, after all this time away, I've changed the image format and revamped the lore. Notably, this project now has a name, transformers from a to z! (The name is only in honor of the original idea, im no longer doing characters in alphabetical order)

Note: Pre reboot stuff (anything that doesn't use the character sheet format) is being kept around for archival purposes. None of it is canon anymore

Design for wasp and waspinator

After all this time, finally someone back home came looking for the missing autobots, but unfortunately he wasn't looking to help, wasp is looking to settle the score with bumblebee and would do anything to get his way, even becoming a horrible transmetal mutant

Wasp HATES bumblebee, a trottlebot reject he used to hang around cliffjumper and bee back in the day where he had the most experience between the three of them. but his overconfident, opportunistic personality caused bee to pay extra attention to him as he reminded him of his brother hot rod, and wasp hated every second of it.

bumblebee's constant attempts to further their friendship really got to his nerves, seeing the whole exercise as an atempt to control him, and keep him away from his true potential as an autobot scout, he left their little friend group literally one day before optimus choose them to go on the mission to earth

Wasp came crawling back, begging to be let back into the team but he made it more than clear he wanted nothing to do with them the previous day so bumblebee in an act of pettiness, already filled his spot with hot rod and left, leaving wasp to think on his life, while bee and the others would be kocked offline thought to be dead for years, when wasp learned of the disappearance of the mission that in his eyes belonged to him. Rather than be sad about the loss of his old friends, or be relieved he wasn't one name in the list of missing persons among them, wasp grew obsessed with "what if"

What would have happened if he was aboard the ship, could he have made a difference when they got attacked? He convinces himself he would've, and becomes obsessed with tracking down the lost autobot ship, determined to prove he's better than the others, losing sleep and eventually tracking them down but as he wasn't a good pilot, his ship crashed, leaving him stranded on the planet alongside the other autobots

But when he arrived at their new base, he saw a new trottlebot, glyph. Wasp always knew hot rod wasn't really a replacement, he was too different but glyph was born from the same mold as him, was green like him and even had a nasally voice like him,

from his twisted perspective it was clear as day that he never really mattered to anybody, he was expendable, and bumblebee was a liar who clouded his judgement by looking so weak as to make him think he was actually important to somebody, only to be thrown out the moment he wanted more,

Sensing his instability the six clan approached him with a deal, the power to take his revenge in exchange for servitude, and wasp, bitter at the world accepted it, and was transformed by the transmetal driver into the unstable transmetal mutant waspinator

Grimstone and the Dinobots. This set is… hyped too much. Sure it’s cool, but he’s nothing to write home about, and really? That’s a Spinosaurus? It’s a gottam Dimetridon.

Thinking about Strika and Lugnut giving the whole "me and my partner saw you across the bar can we have a threesome" speech to Longarm (they Don't Know he's Shockwave)

‪I can technically explain but nothing will save me from my own cringe so I just have to live with my embarrassing existence

You ever think about how in some continuities it's a thing now that Soundwave's face resembles Megatronus Prime's due to the connection that is the decepticon badge

[karanseraph]

I like to pretend the Decepticon badge is based on a stylized Turbofox head and that Soundwave and/or Megatronus just had fox-like faceplates and/or masks for their own reasons.

[transingthoseformers]

OUPPY SOUNDWAVE🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[fuzzy-robot]

what if when Overlord punched directly through Ultra Magnus he accidentally grabbed Minimus on the way out and he stopped dead for like a whole minute just trying to figure out what the fuck

[tyrantisterror]

I think they should make the alligator transformer that was made out of Optimus Prime's dismembered body in the G1 cartoon into his own character. His robot mode is an alligator but like a lot of transformers with animal robot forms he's still sapient and capable of speech like anyone else. When he meets Optimus Prime the two look each other up and down and he says, "Well, one of us is going to have to change." Later they both convert to their semi-truck alt-modes and Alligatobot says, "Are you kidding me? You stole my color scheme AND my alt mode?" Optimus Prime feels deeply guilty about this faux pas.

just had to scribble this it would NOT leave my brain. Transformer medical shenanigans.

i forgot to post his redesign here hello

[sailorsol]

We need a canon high school Transformers AU a la X-Men Evolution. Megatron and Optimus are adults (maybe teachers), I originally thought Shockwave as principal but actually Starscream would be an amazing dramatic bitch of a principal so let's go with that, and everyone else, bots and cons alike, are just the Cybertronian equivalent of high school students.

It is very important that no explanation is ever given for why this AU exists or why the bots and cons hate each other aside from being high school students, they're not even at RIVAL schools it's all one school.

HASBRO CALL ME.
