She’s literally my favorite Rescue Bot Recruit to draw and I have no idea why💙💙💙

Also an extra headcannon that Junior’s been a ventriloquist since the beginning:

Fun fact: at first I was going to have her draw faces on the broken clocks, but then I was like nyehh—

Why would they need a face to be understood? Whirl Jr understands her mentor just fine, and he doesn’t have a face.

I started sobbing as went down the headcannoned rabbit hole…

Hey, do you know what the trope is when men, specifically in the cartoon medium, wear a red Hawaiian shirt with white flowers on it?

The only men that come to mind are Denny from Robots In Disguise 2015, Rango from Rango, and Master Fu from Miraculous.

I know for a fact that there are more but I just can’t remember any at the moment.

Is it, like, a reference to a really old trope in Hollywood?

Is it secretly symbolic in western animation, specifically geared towards the male demographic?

Do artists just like to draw it because men’s fashion is simply boring and they steal that one character design aspect from previous characters that they drew inspo from in the first place?

Am I reading too much into this?

I. Need. ANSWERS. PLEEEEEASE!

Tagging y’all in case you know something I don’t:

Hey, what if Whirl Jr.’s full-actual name was literally Whirlybird?

Okay, gonna share an itty bitty insight to draft I had a while ago—

When Whirl and Whirlybird met each other, what was happening is that other bots Whirlybird knew gave her the nickname Whirl, just because.

Whirl, himself, found out second-hand and was like “There can only be room for one Whirl on this planet!” And so he wanted to challenge this so-called “new Whirl” for the title of Whirl.

And—no. He did not hesitate to fight a child.

As it turns out, Whirlybird was actually kind of excited about it. Which surprised no one that knew her when she was forged.

Of course Whirl’s friends said “No! We know you’re crazy, but please do not fight a child!” But he did it anyway.

The time came for them to fight for the title of ‘Whirl’. Whirlybird didn’t even care if she got to keep the name because she thought it would be fun to wrestle. Even though she didn’t have that much fighting experience.

Whirl—by accident—started giving her pointers while they were gearing up to dish it out.

Then those pointers starting turning into joor long sessions.

Those sessions became weekly, then daily. And after each lesson they starting hanging out, talking about how their days went, what adventures Whirl went on with his friends, what Whirlybird did in her free time, etcetera.

Next thing they know, Whirl started calling Whirlybird Whirl, saying that “Its a cool name, so only cool people get to use it. Got it?”

That made Whirlybird giggle “Okay. But won’t people get confused when we both start using ‘Whirl’?”

Whirl’s voice shifted into mischievous tone “That’s the fun part.”

Hehehe, I think I’m the only one who’s thought of this but…

Soundrod in Earthspark would be genuinely perfect.

Hot Rod just shows up in a Rod Pod out of nowhere. He sees this new Decepticon just walking around the most snatched waist ever, and is just working up the courage to go talk to them. Maybe even flirt a bit too, who knows.

Let’s say he strides on up to this mystery bot who he knows for a fact he’s never seen before and just starts casually sweet talking them. And then he asks for his designation. And his designation is Soundwave. He’s been making goo-goo eyes at Soundwave this whole time.

Now he realizes that the bot in front of him is actually the former Decepticon Third in Command.

But you see, not only is he absolutely stunned at how Soundwave went from a supposed stack of boxes to an hourglass; he’s still goin to try and flirt with him because let’s be honest… Hot Rod still kinda wants to be fishing buddies with him.

And yes, I do believe the only motivation for Hot Rod’s flirting attempts were to be to go on a bunch of fishing dates in Earthspark. I will not accept any criticism whatsoever.

What’s the difference between Minibots and Minicons?

I genuinely want to know.

Also—yes, I did search both terms in TFwiki. It turns out Minicons are the small transformers that can “power up” other Cybertronians apparently. And Minibots are different because they turn into… small vehicles?

At first I thought Minicons were just small transformer Decepticons, and that Minibots were small transformer Autobots. Because of, you know, Minicons and Minibots.

Or what if the Mini transformers are just “descendants” of Micromasters, and it wasn’t until during the war they were separated into Minicons and Minibots. And instead BOTH can “power up” other Cybertronians.

And just so you guys know, the animal Cybertronians are just going to be trained fauna from Cybertron’s Cyberforest; like the one in Cyberverse.

I really also want to add Botbots to my TFFC too just fyi.

Yo, thinking back to a certain Boulder headcannon,,

It said that they saw Boulder as the oldest out of the Rescue Bots.

And that kinda got me thinking back to how some people, me included, see Boulder as Bulkhead’s “brother”. Like his little brother technically. But I can’t identify where or when I read this but I know it’s out there. I know there is the possibility that maybe he was adopted as his little brother after they met in some made-up situation after the end of Rescue Bots or in RiD, but hear me out.

What if Bulkhead knew Boulder as his big brother before the war. And theeeen they reunited. I feel like seeing Boulder as this more older big-brother figure for Bulkhead would be so sweet and wholesome. Though honestly their personalities compared side-by-side Bulkhead and Boulder both had a bunch of inspo from TFA Bulkhead.

So just imagine having little brother Bulkhead look up to Boulder as a slight mentor figure being so sweet. Just imagine how much un-tapped wisdom Boulder has from his experience being a Rescue Bot/Architect/Engineer/Sweetheart. Bulkhead definitely has some wholesome moments but you get what I mean.

Now I’m just thinking if Boulder were to mentor Bulkead, I feel like he’d turn a little bit more into TFA Bulkhead. Just by a bit.

Earthspark KOBD is actually just a Swapped-Frame AU?

KOBD brainrot let’s goooo

Just let me break it down… Breakdown is obviously the equivalent of a speedster/Stunticon in Earthspark, instead of his more “well-known” label as a wrecker.

He was definitely bulkier in most modern iterations, even going as far as him having his servo turn into a hammer. And, of course, he had his frame altered to look like a wrecker when joining the Decepticons and was very much recognized for having a stronger build, instead having a similar build to Knock Out.

All I’m saying is that Breakdown’s eagerness to race and his alt mode are somewhat reminiscent of how I remembered Knock Out’s characteristics in other medias.

I mean, I know that TFE Breakdown can definitely pack a punch, I’m just saying he’s definitely a little bit more sleek than say his TFP(aligned in general) or IDW designs.

But digging a little deeper, I knew for a fact that Earthspark was going to be way more influenced by the G1 cartoon than anything else. And wouldn’t you know it, Breakdown’s design in the show followed that format.

He’s bulky, but way more sleek than a traditional wrecker design.

And now I want you guys to remember how he acts in Earthspark.

Going off of my own vague memory of finishing the show, I remember him being cocky and a little bit stubborn. Which goes to show how unreliable my memory is. What I’m actually trying to convey is that he kind of gives off the vibe of what Knock Out’s quirks would look like with Breakdown’s personality in general.

Or, he’s just a speedster Breakdown, for short.

———

Now I want you guys to direct your attention to what you all remember about Knock Out.

I doubt that we’ll actually get any KO content in TFE, even if they decide to make comics(which I would genuinely sell my soul to acquire). But hey, that’s what the brain’s imagination is for.

Based off the knowledge we have on TFE’s expectations for its characters, it’s safe to say that if Knock Out was going to be a part of it, there’s a big chance that he’d be based off of his G1 design.

And yes, there is in fact a G1 Knock Out design…

Yes, he’s beautiful no matter what, he knows that.

I know it’s a possibility that this could be a different Knock Out, considering that this guy’s name is officially spelled Knockout on TFwiki.

Although my point still stands.

Just think about it. This guy is a part of the Constructor Squad, therefore he’s more of a bulked up persona than TFE Breakdown.

There’s also a glimpse of him in an IDW comic, so this version of him isn’t entirely under the radar. And from the description on TF wiki he’s loyal and surprisingly enthusiastic. Basically… he’s how I personally see Breakdown, but translated to fit Knock Out’s character. Or, it’s the other way around if you put into consideration that this Knockout/Knock Out came before TFP, kicking off the beginning of KOBD in the first place.

———

So with what information I’ve been able to get my hands on, it would be very plausible for TFE KOBD to be a Swap AU of a traditional KOBD story.

For example, Knock Out is always seen as the vain and overly dramatic of the two. With Breakdown being a stark contrast to Knock Out with his more noble traits and his eagerness to join a fight.

Now that Earthspark has provided a Breakdown that can be a bit more easygoing yet stubborn, and somewhat focused on being more self-preserved. And lets say we pair that Breakdown with a Knock Out that can be less vain but loyal and enthusiastic to work with a team.

let Breakdown be the one to gossip with Bumblebee and compete in illegal drag races, while wanting to maintain his sleek finish. Give Knock Out a sense of unironic enthusiasm when it comes to him working with a partner, and have him take pride in being a hard-at-work Construnction that has a tendency to get so overly-excited that he faints.

I would absolutely love to see a pairing like this version of KOBD if possible. Maybe I might not be looking hard enough, but all I typically see of any TFE KOBD content is of them both being sleek and stylish—to which I love and have zero quarrels with.

I just wanna see Speedster-Stunticon-Breakdown be overly confident while flirting with Constructicon-Knock Out, to the point where KO just passes out from becoming too flustered, that’s all.

Long live KOBD✨

AHH JUST FUCK IT—ART/LORE-ISH DUMP!!

Literally my last three recently finished(enough) pieces of 2023

Just for a recap—aka officially telling y’all what’s been up with me—

You see, along side my RBA-esque storyline will be other separate stories that kind of take place at the same time. Sort of, maybe, has a Trollhunters kinda timeline, or something? Let me just break it down into the main drafting titles(pending) I decided to give each sideplot:

- Roll Call Rescue Recruits: Some young transforming individuals attend Rescue Bots Academy, stationed on Griffin Rock and get up to some waaakcy hijinks with their new classmates while training to become Rescue Bots.

- Radiance In Disguise: A spoiled brat has to live with a rustic antique collector and his son, ever since her mother was arrested, and now her mother’s old enemies would have to go through giant alien robots if they even want to lay a finger on her.

- Reach Out To Reassemble: There’s a new Delinquent Rehabilitation Program in succession, and now it’s up to two bots to coach two young Decepticon criminals out of their violent habits; or else it’s prison for them.

None of these are in particular order by the way.

At least I think they aren’t.

GUESS WHO JUST WATCHED BRAVERN?

—->THIS GUYYYYYYYYYYYY

AND HOLY MOLY WAS IT GAY—

Like I ABSOLUTELY thought that it just going to be that one scene—OH BOY WAS I WRONG OH MY GOD!

It’s actually pretty good so far… which isn’t saying much since there’s only two episodes…

Also, pleeease watch the end credit scene in episode two, then you’ll know exactly what I mean.

I think these two should fall in love and marry each other (💜u❤️)🫶

After competing, and later on fighting each other, for the love of the same guy who couldn’t see them for more than just soldiers—they ended up falling in love with each other and becoming the textbook definition of POWER COUPLE.

I love being able to ship two characters based solely on me obsessing over their Tfwiki bios :]

Wait—How long were the Rescue Bots in stasis?

Were they in stasis during the entire 4 million year war, or was it less than that? Like damn, nobody came looking for them for that long, I know there was a war but wow.
