Designs for the sequel I am already planning

The Rescue Recruits!!

And some of my lore that will be explored with for all of them!

Wedge

Wedge was formed during the war. He was created through spark bonding between two Decepticons, though he never really met his Parensnatales (parents) due to their assignment within the ranks. Due to his young age, he was put into the energon mines on one of the Deception owned planets on the outskirts of the Milky Way. While he had to fight Autobots sometimes, this planet was relatively uninhabited by Autobots, meaning that many Decepticon children made their home here.

When the war ended, and they returned to Cybertron, Wedge found out that he was orphaned just like many of his miner buddies. While Cybertron was being rebuilt, several mechs had stepped up to take care of and watch over the young Cybertronians left behind. One of these groups was the newly reemerged Protectobots, who were missing one key bot in their lineup. Wedge was one of the young Cybertronians taken in by the team, where he soon learned about rescue work and started to ask for training in it. While Rescue City was being repaired, the Protectobots and several of the old Alpha team members who had returned to the city started to teach small things to the young Cybertronians who were under their care. While some dropped off from the lessons, the others stuck around to become the new rebirth generation of Rescue Bots, which Wedge was one of those.

Whirl

Whirl was also formed during the war, formed from a spark bond due to Ultra Magnus and Whirl Sr. not being careful with their conjunx bonding ceremony. While her designation was Whirlybird, she chose to use just Whirl to mess with mechs on the Lost Light. One day a large energy spike was detected across the Milky Way. While Ultra Magnus went off to investigate the strange anomaly, the Lost Light continued to avoid the attacks of the DJD.

Once the ship was able to reach Cybertron and the whole family was reunited, Whirl Jr. was stumped on what she was wanting to do. Whirl Sr. one day had suggested joining the newly rebuilt Rescue Bots Academy. Due to Ultra Magnus's knowledge of the old laws and regulations of Cybertron, he would teach Whirl Jr. them during his free time. Due to this, she had an immense love for the subject. So when she found out that the academy had enforcers as an option, she jumped at the chance to join. Leading her to join the first wave of new official Rescue Bot Recruits.

Hot Shot and Jolt

Hot Shot was one of the mechs who reemerged from the Well. Jolt's spark connection with him is what allowed him to return. Jolt is his minicon partner, and one of his oldest friends. Hot Shot was one of the many young mechs who had to fight in the war. While he had a naturally forged frame, his spark was transferred to an adult build, offering more protection than his young, weak armor plating he had before. The pair fought side by side during the war as first Optimus's personal scouts, then as a commander of a squadron. Jolt helped to keep to Hot Shot in check, offering guidance to the young soldier. When Hot Shot had become a commander, his role also shifted to being a mentor for a young scout that Optimus had appointed. Hot Shot taught the young scout everything he needed to know, and the pair formed a close friendship. When the young scout had been kidnapped by Megatron while Hot Shot had been shot down, Primus had changed Hot Shot's frame. This new frame while lacking speed, made up for it in strength, allowing the young commander to rescue the young scout at Tyger Pax. After the events at Tyger Pax, the Ark was ready to launch. Hot Shot was meant to be one of the mechs that went on the ship. However as it was launching, the Nemesis had attacked. Hot Shot was one of the fatalities during this attack.

Upon his reemergence from the Well, he was met by the mechs who were looking over the many new sparks and reemerging sparks. After many questions, he was finally reunited with Jolt. After that Hot Shot and Jolt had aimlessly wandered around Cybertron. Hot Shot was one of the mechs who had no Parensnatales, and so he really had no place to go. After some years, the pair heard about a new Cube league forming. Cube was originally a game created during the war by Ratchet for the many young mechs who were forced into the war to have something fun to do. (Also was created to distract them from the Wrecker's game of Lob) Hot Shot remembering the many games he played, joined the league and was soon given a home among the teams. Over time, he had risen to fame, being one of the best players within the league. After a big final game of the season, Optimus had approached him. Shocked to see the meant to be dead leader, Hot Shot didn't believe at first that the mech was really in front of him. However after some time talking, Hot Shot learned that he had been alive for awhile at that point, and had just returned from a mission back to Earth. It was at this point that Optimus had offered him and Jolt a chance to go to the newly reopened Rescue Bots Academy.

Medix

Medix also reemerged from the Well, being one of the mechs that was killed during the Rescue Bots Massacre. Medix is the child of First Aid and Vortex, having been formed by a spark bond during the start of the war. He too was put into an adult frame like Hot Shot was, and when the Protectobots joined the war, he was also brought into it with his cousins. He worked as a tirage medic on the field, being a true pacifist just like his aunt Groove. His team within the Rescue Bots rank was Alpha 2, which consisted of his cousins Skyfeather, Rook, and Heatrock. Skyfeather was their team leader, due to her being the oldest and most experienced out of them. The Alpha 2 team was able to combine with the Alpha 1 team (Protectobots), making the two teams very powerful in terms of the war. Skyfeather and Heatrock were able to combine within the actual Protectobot team, forming Gaia Guardian, while Rook and Medix were able to replace an original team member when they were unable to transform. When Defensor fell at Tagan Heights, Rescue City was left with Alpha 2 leading and protecting it. This is when Megatron decided to strike. Medix watched as his older cousins were slaughtered, before his death and the destruction of Rescue City.

Upon his reemergence, he was reunited with his cousins who also reemerged with him. Together the group made their way to the remains of Rescue City, where they were reunited with Hotspot, First Aid, Streetwise, and Groove. Blade's absence confused them all, but they all were quick to start rebuilding the city. Blades soon reappeared on Cybertron, having survived the war and was the reason that they were all able to reemerge due to his Gestalt bond with his siblings. When the school was rebuilt and reopened, Medix joined the new wave of students coming into the academy, excited to finish his training properly.

Hoist

Hoist, while not apart of the war, was a civilian casualty. His Almatonias (moms) had him before the war broke out. His family had decided to stay out of the war as long as they possibly could, but his death due to an Autobot Wrecker's explosions is what pushed his Almatonias to join the Decepticons.

His Almatonias survived the war, allowing for his reemergence. He was reunited with them, and after Cybertron had been mostly rebuilt, they were encouraging him to choose what he wanted to do in life. Now that the caste system was overthrown, he was allowed to do just that. Hearing about the reopening of the Rescue Bots Academy, and that engineering, one of his passions, was offered at the academy, he applied to be a student there. He was accepted and joined the first wave of new students.

And that is the lore of these guys for the Cyberhumans and Cybertronians sequel! While this story isn't going to be mentioned much until that point in time, I wanted to get these out there as some of the characters will be mentioned within the main story of Cyberaligned. Due to how interwoven I want everything to be, we will be seeing glimpses of Hot Shot and Medix within Blade's memories, as well as meeting Whirl Jr. and Whirl Sr. in one of the future chapters when the Lost Light crashes on Earth.

I hope y'all are excited for this future plot!

Steel'ndipity au rescue bot recruits

Eddie posting a Tiktok at like two in the morning like, “I think it’s great if your parents are absent for the majority of your life and in general just suck that you form your own family with your ex-girlfriend’s brother’s friend and a lesbian you met at the mall, but-“

He flips the camera around to show Ozzy sleeping next to Steve sleeping next to Robin sleeping next to Dustin, who is spread out over Eddie’s entire side of the bed, “-but do they have to be in my bed???”

Momwave and Chase

@femmemetalezine is OUT and the leftover sale is happening right now until February 28th!! This is such a wonderful zine so don’t miss your chance to grab one!

Doing some dum dum homework rn. Enjoy.

Figured I might as well drop this before officially going into the RBA hiatus ^w^ !!

This Au is called the ReckoningAU! And it's created by me! It was created for a fic (the first chapter is 3/4 done :3 so basically the premise is: A what-if universe where the recruits are actually born during the war instead of after it's conclusion, with Wedge obviously falling into the Decepticon faction and the rest of the recruits in the Autobot one. The recruits role is to prepare the battlefield, installing trenches, medical posts and everything else (it's heavily based on the G1 dynamics where they just get together in one place and start blasting at eachother yk?) Meanwhile Wedge falls pretty much into the line of a child soldier, having held guns the size of his torso at a very young age, but thankfully most of the time he's used for recon missions and spyionage, which will be the main plot of the fic as Wedge surrenders to the Autobots to discover how to hit them where it hurts! Will he succed with his mission? Or will he find some obstacles in the way?

Friend tags ^^

@lonely-paracosmos @wildlygay @blueberry-cute-cat @sonicnerd @whirltherescuebot !!! (I didn't tag the one's who have already seen this post :3)

never drawing again after this

Whirl definitely wasn't the one who took this pic of these two... and she definitely did not send this pic to the other recruits...

So anyway, here is how the chat goes:

Whirl, texting to the group chat: Hey guys, look who I've found sleeping in student lounge. Medix: Huh, look like last night rescue was too much for them to even walk into their own berthrooms.. Hoist: Yeah, if I was the one who stayed behind last night, I would recharge in the nearest comfortable place I could find too. Whirl: Still, look how cute they are being!! They look so comfortable on eachother! Medix: Indeed, but I never thought of recharging on top of Wedge would be comfortable though..

More under the cut!!

Just finished a Sketch that I did inspired by @asmoteeth Rescue Recruits Grown Up AU (Sorry I can’t remember the official name)

I love the designs they’ve done of Hot Shot & Wedge, so I wanted to have a go at drawing them,

Also I love the idea of Hot Shot & Wedge dating, oh who am I kidding, I’m so shipping team “Wedgeshot”!

I had them together, whether they are just hugging or kissing, I’ll leave that to your imagination.

Hope you like it @asmoteeth

I’m worried I’m neglecting them

Part 2

Funfact Wedge's t-shirt has Robot Regicide's (Miko's band) metal logo on it.

Some Transformers thoughts of mine

Okay there's this weird thought that popped up in my head today.

In some continuities, there's transformers merch made like in the Aligned continuity, ya know, Transformers Prime (well, the TF RBA, where Wedge has this Bumblebee shrine in one whole room at the academy), like do the bots get paid for the merch?

For example, Bumblebee is so popular he's literaly a celebrity, so is he paid regularly because of that merch? And I remember him being a regular street cop in Transformers robots in disguise, so I'm not really sure.

Imagine being Bumblebee, you're with the boys (idk Hot Rod and Cliffjumper and some others) you got some nice dinner, one of them suggested to split the bill, but you're like "Nah, I got you covered" and dropped a scrap ton of Shanix on the table (probably four times the amount of you and your fellas dinner). The boys are just shocked and looked at you in the optic, questioning on how you got that amount of Shanix.

But for other continuities, like Earthspark, I don't think it would count for obvious reasons. He hidin, earth currency is nothing to him.

What about bootlegs? Like a goofy ahh eyed Bumblebee merch, would that count?

A little WIP update of my rescue recruit redesigns

Mixing Armada into Hotshot has been so much, also the minicon on his shoulder is Jolt, who showed up in Armada as his powerlinx partner.

Yes hoist is still not even blocked out I am having some art block on his design

I also have holoform designs in progress! Both training outfits and casual outfits. I see them to be late teens, so like 16-17 y/o. Wedge is actually the youngest due to how I am doing the lore. Hotshot, Medix, and Wedge all were killed during the war and reemerged due to spark bonds they shared with alive bots. Whirl and Wedge were forged during the war. Hotshot, Medix, and Wedge were all apart of the war, Medix with the Protectobots, Hotshot being a commander and ex scout for Optimus Prime, and Wedge being in the energon mines upon one of the planets the Deceptions had claimed.

Idk I think it’ll be funny (and really cool) if Heatwave was a Decepticon at some point

As I watch more and more rescue bots over the past couple of days my mind takes the question again (and someone is fighting me over it lmao), Is Rba and Cyberverse aligned? (Warning spoilers)

Short answer is Yes (though not comfirmed, but hinted.)

The longer answer

Transformers Prime and Rescue bots happen in the same time frame, then comes Rid after Prime, Cyberverse happens in the same time period and im pretty sure some events take place a little after Rid.

So Rescue bots academy is happening a little before season 4 of Cyberverse, which explains why Lazerbeak had no owner (referencing Soundwave's death) as he was shown to be fount on a lost ship with no one, which can infer that maybe his old friends left him behind on accidentin a hurry since he couldn't transform back to his bird form without being placed in a jukebox. Also from Rba we can see that Blurr went to Cybertron but the reason we never see Blurr in Rba is because he died from a rust infection while trying to save Bumblebee. Though it isn't confirmed where Salvage's whereabouts are we can assume he either died with Blurr or he decided to stay on Hightide's ship. In Cyberverse we see that Optimus Prime and Soundwave sign a contact for forever peace between the auto bots and decepticons, this is when Wedge changed his sign. Though the decepticons among the recruits (*cough* Hotshot) were assumed as bad people due to their past murder they were still reunites with the Decepticons due to the fact that Optimus, despite Wedge's and Lazerbeak's past as decepticons let them stay as they were free bots without a crime record and a good reputation. This goes to show the contract between Optimus and Soundwave DID in fact happen in that timeline. So in conclusion (I'm acting like this is a english essay lmao) we can safely assume that Rescue bots academy and Cyberveree is aligned to the series.
