Terror Transformed - A Transformers Halloween Event!
Rules and Details
The event is running from 01/10/23 to 31/10/23.
1) Submissions can be made at any point during the month of October, so don't worry about having to get something done within the day-- As long as your work is submitted on or before 31/10/23, it counts!
That having been said, if you want to do a sketch a day, go for it! You have the entire month of October to make whatever you'd like. :)
Writing, art, and any other types of works are welcome.
You can submit any work to the event by using the tag "Terror Transformed". I'll reblog any submissions to this blog, to help keep everything together!
--
2) You do not have to participate in each day of the event. Feel free to pick whichever prompts/dates appeal to you most!
--
3) Scary and creepy are good; It's a Halloween event, after all! (That having been said, don't feel obligated to push yourself beyond what you may be comfortable with!) <3
--
4) Please tag any horror content appropriately-- For example, "Body Horror", "Vampires", "Robo Gore", and so on.
Please make sure to include any additional content/trigger warnings if needed- This helps keep everyone safe, and helps to make sure everyone can have a fun time! :)
--
5) NSFW/shipping submissions are fine, as long as you tag them appropriately and add any relevant content/trigger warnings as needed. (And of course, follow Tumblr site rules, although I don't think I need to say that!)
--
6) Have fun!!! <3
AO3 - Terror Transformed Collection
You can find the AO3 collection here!
Works will be added if anyone wants to submit anything to AO3, mostly as a way to help keep things organised.
Any kind of writing is fine! Poetry, one-shots, multi-chaptered stories, drabbles, anything you might want to do. :)
The collection is moderated, so once October starts, I'll be keeping an eye out for any fics posted here or on AO3 with the tag "Terror Transformed".
Playlist for Inspiration!
Just for fun, as a way to provide some thematic Halloween tunes for people to draw/write along to, get inspired by, or just have fun and jam out to, you can find a playlist for the event over on YouTube here!
The playlist is still being worked on, but it'll get more refined as I add more tracks and clean it up a bit! :)
Happy Halloween!
I really want to do something fun for everyone since October is my birthday month and who doesn't love Spooky Season, so I hope this can be a fun event for anyone who wants to participate! <3
The original event pitch post is here, and it's really nice to see so much interest. :')
If you have any questions or require any clarification, please feel free to message me! :)

For @terrortransformed, Day 4: Sparkeaters
Had to doodle this in my work notebook lmao, so I know it's not exactly great, but in my defense I am tired LOL
But since we know Cybertronians have stories about Sparkeaters (including a children's folk tale style rhyme), I thought it might be fun to draw a Cybertronian children's book page featuring a Sparkeater approaching a young bot!
It gives somewhat of a "stranger danger" vibe, but I'd imagine Cybertronians may very well use Sparkeater stories to encourage younglings playing outside to stay close to home...
nickel, iron, cobalt, chrome
run little robot, run away home

Tomorrow's prompt is "Fusion", inspired by the Marvel Transformers issue "The Price of Life", in which Megatron and Ratchet become fused together-- Resulting in the first bit of body horror (and wow, is it horrifying) that a lot of Transformers fans ever saw.
(Although it is worth noting the above comic page is actually from Eye of the Storm, which recalls the prior issue in which the fusion occurred-- If I'm remembering that right!)
The above panel has a variation, shown below; You can read a bit about it here.
This issue got DARK, with Ratchet begging Optimus to kill him several times; At one point, the Fusion grabs Optimus' laser pistol and lines up the end of the barrel with Ratchet's helm.
Optimus faces a moral dilemma, unsure if he should allow Ratchet to continue to live in the hopes he might be possible to save, or take mercy and kill him so he no longer has to exist as part of Megatron.
Needless to say, the moaning, groaning, begging, agonised figure of the Fusion was enough to scare the living shit out of most kids reading the Marvel Comics, and remains a legendary example of horror in Transformers media.
---
So, with all that having been said, if you'd like to create your own Fusion, which characters would you combine?
Would it be a happier experience for them, or at least, a tolerable one?
Or would they struggle in the same way Ratchet and Megatron did?
How does your Fusion occur? What does it/they look like?
And of course, if you'd like to submit any works for this or any other prompts, the tag is "Terror Transformed"! :)
