Please consider Transformers with those glowy fiber optic lamp fibers
Aka these bad boys:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
CONSIDER
A velociraptor alt covered in these fibers
Minimus ambus with a moustache that can glow.
Massive fiber optic manes
Bots with a glowing mohawk or other hairstyles
Wrist/ankle floofs like those draft horses have
Using these lights to communicate silently
Useful whisker-like ones for small bots like Ravage and/or spies/covert bots who need to hide and crawl in small spaces to feel their environment and gauge whether they can fit in the spaces. Maybe even help slightly lighten up dark spaces.
When Cybertron isn't at war, there are many cybertronians who performed in some way (dancing, concerts, etc) that would outfit themselves with these cables which they would then use (glowing on and off, glowing different colours for different effects, fluffing them out and pulling them in from their body, etc) in their performance choreography.
Thank you for your time.

So you've all seen this book meme with "mtmte if Rodimus thought about shit for more than a second" which is *chef's kiss*
May I also offer this to you
Tumblr media
I'm only halfway through but still fmcbxjxkd

TfP AU where everything is the same except when Megatron goes to cyberform the Earth it's the Eggman pissing on the moon bit.

SPOILERS FOR MTMTE VOLUME 8 AHEAD!
Ratchet and Rodimus are Friends?
It’s interesting. There’s a conversation that took place in volume eight of More Than Meets the Eye that caught me a bit by surprise. Some of y’all are prolly way ahead of me on this and it was super obvious to y'all but I wanna talk about it anyways.
Before Ratchet leaves to find Drift he does a checkup on a selection of mechs because, he claims, of the possibility of them being infected by super scraplets.
He checks up on
Rung
Skids
Nautica
Ultra Magnus
And most interestingly: RODIMUS
Tumblr media
He proceeds to call Rodimus out on how he treated Drift.
(Also Ratchet defending Drift is very sweet.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not going to lie, I thought Ratchet didn’t particularly like Rodimus. Or he just tolerated him. And based on some fan content I’ve seen, I don’t think I was alone in that. This above conversation could potentially even support that theory. That is until First Aid comes in and calls Ratchet out.
Tumblr media
And then First Aid drops this juicy tidbit
Tumblr media
Note the word “ALL”. Meaning Roddy wasn’t an exception compared to the others. Roddy IS Ratchet’s friend. It could be a recent development or it could be longer term, either way at this point in time they are friends to one another. This means that Ratchet is one of those friends who will be the first to call you out when you're being an ass and I really love that for him. The friend who tells you what everyone else is too hesitant to say.
With this knowledge, looking back it really makes the scene where Ratchet tells Roddy that he voted against him keeping his position of captain all that more impactful in my opinion.
Looking back there's probably a ton of things that hinted at a friendship between them. Like the fact Roddy chose to confide in Ratchet (if I'm remembering this correctly) about the list to get his opinion. That shows a certain value Rodimus holds of Ratchet's opinion.
Anyways I just thought that was neat. And I totally didn't pick up on the fact they were friends until this scene smacked me in the face.

Saw Transformers: The Rise of the Beasts and gotta say, it was a very very fun movie. Highly recommend.
It got me laughing real hard multiple times. The designs are very nice. Ngl its probably my favourite Transformers movie we've gotten so far.
It was neat to see Optimus acting in a sort of less experienced/younger role than he usually gets. Big brother Optimus was v fun.
I loved Mirage he's very fun. And his abilities are super rad to see on screen.
I wasn't the biggest fan of how they designed Wheeljack's face but considering I like most of the other character designs, a single miss isn't a big deal to me. It didn't take away from my enjoyment of the movie at all and as a character he wasn't bad.
I want to yell about some of the stuff I loved in the middle to the end of the movie but I'm going to hold out a bit because I don't want to spoil anything. Once it's out of theatres I'll talk about it more. (Ill make sure to put it in a readmore with spoiler warnings tho. Don't worry you wont get accidentally spoiled if you still haven't seen after it comes out )

I know I haven't drawn Starscream in awhile and that's partially because I'm kinda redesigning him for my continuities and bc his details and shapes aren't fully ironed out yet drawing him is a bit tricky.
Have some of my sketches.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm still not sure about the helmet over the eyes. I kinda miss his eyebrows. 🤔 And I think imma make his bird legs a little more armoured.
I'm just rambling below the readmore. Feel free to ignore 😂
I'm trying to capture his vibes. I want him to have this sort of regal? Is that the right word? Elegant? energy. But I also want him to look powerful, intimidating, and deadly. But I also want to keep him a little more lithe looking because I like to imagine he's a faster mech with more maneuverability in battle. A mech who relies on his smarts and his fast unpredictability. But even though he's lithe he's still fairly armoured and can handle a fair amount of damage. One of the deadliest and hardest to kill mechs on both sides of the war. Right up there with other members of high command.
I also want to include nods to the parts of other Starscream designs.
Starscream's got a lot of stuff going on at once. The fact he's complicated is one reason why I like him. But it's giving me heck trying to capture all that in his design. 😂
I'm slowly managing tho.

I'm fully caught up with Earthspark. Based on what we've gotten so far, Earthspark is probably going to join my fav TF media list. It's overall just really good IMO
I have a lot of thoughts about Earthspark (99% of them good) but I'm not gonna go on a long essay here.
Long story short, Earthspark is well worth a watch if
you want more diversity that's p well handled in your Transformers.
you like found family in your Transformers.
you want new TF characters.
you feel like something wholesome to watch.
you want to like and collect pretty new Transformers figures. (they're gorgeous and detailed btw)
you enjoy playful lighthearted humour
unique character designs with unique silhouettes that aren't super complicated and hard to draw appeals to you.
you like interesting and unique TF lore.

Fanon is wild for making the word "Spike" be... a cybertronian fan word for... that... when there is literally a dude named Spike in G1.
😂
Things like this makes me, a transformers fan who joined only recently, feel like I missed something that happened at the beginning of the Transformers fandom.

Which bot(s) would you vibe with if you were a Lost Light crew member? Who would you loathe?
Oooh this is a fun question!!
Man that's a toughie. There's an immediate urge to just list my favs buuuuut my IRL tastes vs my Fictional tastes can differ. I'm still working through mtmte so I know there's characters I haven't met yet and I might not grasp the entirety of a character's personality but uhhh
I feel like if IRL If was a Lost Light crew member I'd vibe with maybe Nautica, First Aid, Rewind, and/or Rung? They're rad and kinda remind me a bit of some IRL friends I have. I love Skids but I can't get too much of a grip on his personality so I can't say whether or not we'd get along with 100% confidence but I think we would? And maybe Ten? We can vibe on art stuff.
I could maybe see a potential friendship with Ratchet, and/or Drift developing if we happened to work together a fair bit or exist in the same space enough. A friendship could happen but it would kinda depend on if they liked me.
--------
But oh man who would I loathe?
Probably Megatron.
He's not on the Lost Light but does Prowl count?
But those answers feel too easy.
I don't think this counts as loathe but I'd be like.. constantly nervous around Magnus. I find the super strict rule following stern leader type people a bit intimidating. Which is funny cause I'm not one who actively chooses to break rules for funsies. I just am very bad at handling the potential of disapproval djfhrudje. I'm absolutely the person who feels guilt, despite the fact that I haven't done anything, when a cop car drives by. I'd probably be constantly worried that I'm breaking a rule I don't know about around Magnus.
----
Rodimus is a toughie. He'd either drive me up the wall or be the friend who causes problems but has your back and sometimes causes problems for your benefit. My experience with people who kinda remind me of Roddy can go either way. It would really depend on if they liked me.
I'm also not sure about Swerve. I think I need to read about him further in MtMtE and Lost Light before I can say whether or not I like him. But he sorta reminds me of a dude who kinda made middleschool rough for me so idk?
Thank you for the ask in my time of need!

Thinking about TFP again and the fact that the whole Optimus getting the StarSaber thing was only major threat for two whole seconds in TfP because Megatron was like "YEAH?? WELL I MADE THE EVIL and betterer version of your sword" is so fucking hilarious to me.
Don't take this as a super serious critique. I'm not actually mad about it. I find it hilarious.
Narratively it's so bad 😂. The autobots finally get an advantage. They totally could have played with this and make Megatron scramble against the autobots for a bit instead of the Autobots constantly losing. Would have made for a new avenue to explore and make the autobots feel like a genuine threat.
But seeing it happen on screen like two kids playing pretend and being like "I'm a tiger" "well I'm a bigger stronger tiger so THERE" is really funny. 😂
I cackled so hard at that it's so funny how Megatron has an "Oh shit I'm fucked" moment until two minutes later he gets the plot forge.
AND LIKE THERES SO MANY MORE INTERESTING WAYS for Megatron to counter it without just making a copy of the StarSaber.
Also like?? Doesn't the forge of Solus Prime being able to make another prime exclusive relic that's just as powerful kinda make every other supposedly "one of a kind" relic kinda lose it's impact and value? The forge of Solus Prime is OP and it's hilarious. Unless the lore says she made all the primely artefacts in the first place in which case ignore me. But I really thought Primus made them? Idk man Dhdbsj. Even if Solus DID make the og items, the conflict could have been resolved way better.
Anyways rnxdjejd. TfP is a very pretty show and there's a lot I like about it. But man it also really misses the mark in major ways sometimes 😂 esp with the poor follow through of some neat ideas it sets up. (esp the last season oof).

Tarantulas got a glow up in Earthspark. I love how alien he looks. And I love the Doc Ock movements. 👌
As soon as the toy is released I'm yoinking him.
Earthspark spoilers below cut
I didn't expect him to be so chill or potentially a good guy but I love it. The world needs more spooky looking good guy characters.
Also the weird green lip things he has in Beast Wars is very much not my favourite so I'm glad he lost them and got a dope alt mode upgrade.

It really is amazing how almost every TF character, no matter how obscure, have fans who love them a great deal.
It's just awesome to see even the less popular characters or less liked characters getting some love too!
