Not pictured:
Cody and Charlie in the Peter Griffin Death pose, the others are screaming and the kitchen’s on fire.
Blurr is an almost uncontrollable bean of wild energy (as if on a constant sugar rush). Salvage and Hightide are way calmer in return, Salvage collects little nick-knacks he finds and tries to make something crude out of them, while Hightide is usually really quiet until he’s placed in the bath tub (or any larger body of water).

I’m back on my humanformers High Tide bullshit. I found a design I like more, and then kinda just messed around with outfits for a while. The design I’m going for right now is the first one
And here is a second sheet! It was mostly just an excuse to give him a cape lol
And as for the first one on this side, I might go into it in more detail later, but I’m trying to figure out the details for my theory that High Tide is actually Aquatronian rather than Cybertronian!

In the Momenta of life Au, it would be funny to see how both Hightide and Quickshadow (who unlike the rescue bots, have participated a bit in the war) would react to not only seeing Dreadwing, a former decepticon, on Griffin Rock, but also the fact that he joined the rescue bots in some of their missions and gets along with them.
Of course I would think that later they may get used to him, but still giving him occasional death glares.
So I’m not sure if I’ll ever bring Quick Shadow into my Of Moments in Life series. She wasn’t my favorite, though I didn’t necessarily dislike her. But, for the purposes of this ask, let’s explore this scenario, shall we?
Now, first off, in this AU Dreadwing’s crash landing actually happens before either of them make their appearance. But, for this ask, let’s examine a setting where he either came in later or just wasn’t present during the times they were initially introduced to the others.
Hight Tide is stated to be a close personal friend to Optimus. It’s implied that they fought together on many bloody, dangerous battlefields. We also see that High Tide is very gruff and firm. He’s something like the Kup or Ironhide of the Aligned Universe.
Quick Shadow is brusque, efficient, intelligent, and highly strategic. Before she introduces herself to the bots in the show, she spends several days, if not weeks, observing them and learning what they’re like. She’s implied to have Optimus’s trust and have fought in the warm but it’s not outright stated. She’s likely supposed to be something like a mix of Jazz and Mirage for the Aligned ‘verse.
But with that established, we now have an important question. How would they react to Dreadwing?
I think it’s fairly likely that High Tide fought Dreadwing before, so his reaction may be a bit personal. Optimus charged him with protecting Sigma-17, so when he first sees a known Decepticon near them he panics a little and overreacts. It’s actually Heatwave who talks him down in the end. There’s a lot of tension, while things are settling down. But after a few months, when High Tide realizes that Dreadwing is genuinely teaching and caring for the Rescue Bots, he backs off. He knows the importance of second chances. He’s not going to say anything if Dreadwing really is trying to redeem himself .
Quick Shadow, on the other hand, does what she does best. She learns about Dreadwing’s presence on the island, and she goes and just….observes. Watches for a few days. She wants to learn what the situation is before she makes her move, especially if he is hurting them. She doesn’t want to risk him turning on one of the mechlings and killing them if she makes her presence known too soon. And in her observations, she realizes he isn’t a threat. So she rolls into the firehouse one day, introduces herself, and….that’s that. There’s no fight, no big operation. She observed, she learned, she drew her conclusions. There’s no need for violence when it’s clear to her that Dreadwing loves Sigma-17, and that he’s actually a very positive influence on them.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t tension. With High Tide especially. But as time goes on, things settle, and by the time Madeline Pynch’s return and discovery of energon, they’ve gotten used to Dreadwing being there.
It certainly helps that both High Tide and Quick Shadow very quickly learn that Sigma-17 could have no better protector and guide than the giant former ‘Con. No one’s messing with those kids when Dreadwing’s around!
Not if they want to keep all their limbs intact.

Sketchbook Saturday ft. Losing My Mind Trying to Draw TFE Megatron consistently
I have a couple of posts lined up for the next few weeks but then I’ll run out lol
Still drawing this guy. Haha fun shapes
2nd time drawing TFP Starscream! Little bastard man
Dottie! I love her so much. She’s such an interesting character, and Benni Latham is incredibly talented.
And here’s Megatron, who somehow manages to look different every time I draw him. I’m starting to get the hang of him, but sir please
The man himself again! Every time I have art block I start drawing High Tide for some reason
Scoot TF2. I started drawing a bunch of old hyperfixiations, including the annoying Boston boy himself. I tried an in-game version and a comic version. Not sure which I prefer
Speaking of old hyperfixiations, I was obsessed with Marvel for a while. Here’s the Mad Titan himself, in the style that I wanted when Infinity War was coming out.
Until next week!
