Ever since I discovered both your blog and few others I've been obsessed with the idea of humans turning into Cybertronians, and the neat part was found out that it *has* happened before in canon! Mainly the old G1 cartoon, but still! Now I've got my own au and oc and well- thank you. For having fun concepts and good blog tagging to read through your headcanons 😆 ❤️

Ohhhh, thank you for your kind words!

And exactly, anon, ever since Spike got transfered into a Frankenstein'd metal body, the seed for humans-into-Cybertronians was planted.

Along with Cybertronian/human hybrid babies being canon in g1 as well.

I’m finding myself intrigued by Beast Wars Scorponok honestly. I haven’t watched more episodes, still up to Episode 17, but things I’ve gathered from him seem interesting

Like the most interesting thing to me is that he’s an inventor, but he’s also not the best at it. Like he makes stuff, and it gets used, but almost always it goes wrong in some way, like turning Primal into a killing machine instead of a coward like his virus meant to. He’s sort of like Wheeljack in that way, just working for the bad guys instead

It’s also interesting when compared with Tarantulas and Blackarachnia, who are competent inventors and clearly smarter than him, but they have little loyalty to the Predacons outside of their own interests, unlike Scorponok who seems ride or die for Megatron, but also isn’t as smart as them

Originally I was assuming that he was supposed to be the dumb brute, being loyal but stupid, and while he probably isn’t super smart, I’m pretty sure Waspinator and Terrorsaur win the idiot competition, with Scorponok being around middle range

I don’t know, something about him intrigues me. I feel like there’s characterization I can pull from this

I want to say that he tries to be a good second in command, but is hampered by the fact that he isn’t as smart or good at inventing as the spiders, and thus to the perfect standard Megatron needs, and also he’s just not at the level Dinobot was. But I don’t know how true that is

I also for some reason want to assume he has a one sided crush on Megatron, but it’s ultimately affection Megatron will never return because he has his sights elsewhere and Scorponok does not meet his standards. I recognize I’m probably making that up, but I like it

I have stickers!

These are available in my online shop as well as in person at your appointment :)

Hoping to slowly add more goodies but for bow theres just these two babies

Scorponok for size reference

[nyaskitten]

Were Scorponok's missiles... always Maximal branded? Did he steal them from some Maximal ammunition storage? Is Scorponok... a bad guy???

It's really funny that JRo is the guy with the (very valid) fixation on inserting birth imagery everywhere, but it was actually Barber who wrote about parenthood. Like, once the allegorical birth happens, JRo doesn't care.

me doing a beast wars tierlist and realising my least favourite beastie is tarantulas,

[decepti-geek]

sudden realisation from the doctor who rewatch: the Human Dalek hybrid thing probably had a role in inspiring pregnant Scorponok

[beeapocalypse]

very very slowly chipping away at the more minor au details. rlly like the idea that the group of refugees cerebros deserts and ultimately crash lands on nebulos with was a mix of autobots neutrals and decepticons. like maybe he was meeting with Some decepticon commander (idk who yet. not scorponok for sure) in secret and they came to the ultimate decision to leave Together. would be fun if the headmasters were a blend of all 3 factions

[rdps01]

T: "your skull is so thick" yeah but my lips are soft :3 S: you're still an idiot.

[beesantennas]

bruh I know the whole thing is a 2007-Islamophobic-flavored commercial for the military but jfc the blatant labeling of QATAR - THE MIDDLE EAST

[karmaphone]

making a robot slutlympics tier list for my wife's friend and damn maybe I should read the idw comics 🤔🤔🤔

i humbly apologise to the decepticon security, as it may be not them the problem, but in fact the decepticon science department. fuckers just go crazy with their personal projects after working every 2 hundred years and leave their lab shit just laying there. on purpose

the transformers fandom really needs to talk more about brainstorm as a double agent in order to access decepticon technology for his little science project, because could you imagine? try lifting your hand and name off as many decepticon scientists from the top of your head that aren't just shockwave. who's fucking lab did that man invade? who did have to talk to in order to get his resources? did he have to enlist? did he personally work alongside shockwave? the implications are astounding

occasionally I'll remember that the guy who wrote the score for the Sims 3 & 4 and the guy who wrote the score for at least the first Transformers movie are both Steve Jablonsky

Things that happened in the Official Transformers RPG's lore.

So, I've got my hands on all three rulebooks of the official TF RPG. And also the G. I. Joe RPG, but that's irrelevant right now. My batch did not include the crossover rulebook, sadly.

Therefore, notes on the lore and other details in the "basic" canon, because TFWiki did not go into the details, that grew into this list of odd events mentioned.

First thing first, the general continuity is very close to Cyberverse or G1 Fanon, having the basic outline of G1 cartoon, but with details and chunks of backstory pulled from elsewhere - Optimus is a former archivist/data clerk, Bumblebee is a sportscar, et cetera.

To note, there's a somewhat short introductory "who-is-who" list and basic character sheets with profiles both.

Well, I've already got my whiplash, so it's your turn now.

There's something very funky going on with Devastator. Prowl's introduction blurb directly states that something Combiner Wars-esque/Prowlstator has happened, and reads as implying that Autobots hijacked Devastator. By all accounts, Scrapper is alive, making it a possible genuine canonical instance of Prowlastator with Scrapper alive, but the Constructions as whole are placed with the Decepticons. But, Tergamax mentions that among people that were at any moment replacement parts of Devastator there were five Autobots, Prowl included. What happened?

The "who is who" listing for Autobots includes declarations of jobs/roles/traits. Some of these are notable: 1) Ironhide is a chemist 2) Swerve is in Public Relations 3) Rung is Psy-Ops 4) Perceptor is specifically an engineer 5) Bumblebee is noted as "Hero of the People". Must be popular.

Speaking of roles, monochromatic SIC of the day is Jazz, who is also a strategist now.

All of the people in the introductory list are implied to be the Ark crew, and there are problems regarding space travel for Autobots right now. This means that Anode, Lug, those two kids from IDW2, Elita's team and Glyph are on the crew.

Rattrap is a Decepticon.

Optimus Prime has a thick Iaconian accent in Cybertronian. It turns "Teletraan" into "Teletron".

Character sheets include a list of languages that character speaks. Some of these past the standart English+Cybertronian are completely random. Optimus Prime speaks Dutch. Korean is surprisingly popular. In what could be a nice callback, Slingshot has Arabic. The only two people who know the language of newly-introduced alien species of Catharsians are Ratchet and Wildrider. But the crown is taken by First Aid, who has both ASL and Quileute. Yes, the basically extint language of a small tribe warring legally with Stephanie Meyer.

Speaking of languages, both Megatron and Shockwave are noted passable polyglots, and both lack the Universal Translator perk Soundwave, Blaster and Perceptor have. But while Megatron has vague but limited "languages from across Decepticon territory", Shockwave has "all common languages", implying he knows at least a bit of almost everything manually.

Tracks is a triple changer, apparently.

Decepticons' thing is mass-producing sparkless drone clones of their own members.

There's a general threat level system with lists included, where 0 is a random human civilian, 24 is Optimus and Megatron, and 25 is Omega Supreme and Scorponok. Chosen numbers for some characters are thought-provoking. Jazz is 14. Ratchet is 15. First Aid is 9. Wildrider is 6. Ironhide and Starscream are tied with 17. Lord Zarak by himself is 10.

Transformers The Movie sort-of happened, with no apparent notable casualties except for Megatron, who got Galvatroned, but there is a chance that Cyclonus, while a minion of Unicron, predates those events. He is also in an odd position of formally being a part of Decepticons and not the followers of Unicron, who are technically a separate faction.

Scorponok and Deathsaurus are member of Decepticon High Command/Conclave along with Shockwave and Soundwave. Nobody trusts Starscream, so he is not there, but he has the air force.

Mindwipe is, once again, a sorcerer.

Predacons, the combiner team, somehow adopted a sharkticon.

The evil plan du jour of, apparently, pre-Unicron era is converting Earth into the second Cybertron via several colony sites.
