Redraw of my favorite Synergize panel so far, CH2 PG39. It's a lot funnier with the context of the surrounding panels, but I had a lot of fun with this. ^^

Somedays the artblock wins. Somedays inspiration smashes you like a cadillac on a random dashboard recommend. @transformers-synergize your redesigns are so pretty ;^;

oh god tumblr is hard to figure out uh HI GUYS I made a transformers synergize fan design of elita-1, I made this a while ago but I’m only posting this now since I want to try out posting stuff on tumblr.

Did another Transformers Synergize voice over because I couldn't help myself it was so much fun the last time and I've since improved at my impression so I thought it would a good time to see my progress with this. I love Wheeljack and I especially the synergize version of him because the dynamic between him and Ratchet could be legendary.

Here was the last voice over:

[let-me-be-an-egg-toast]

now imagine this stupid concept idea:

the cybertronians were created by humans. well not directly - but-

in a far distant future, say 4000s, if we weren't dead yet by then, the earth is near its deathbed, and humans decided to build machines to try and find planets to call their new home.

a company then suddenly decided to build machines that would build a planet, instead of finding one. they've already reached almost the peak of science, so why not test out their findings?

every machine was imbued with a shared core known as a Matrix, and it was deactivated in every prototype - except for two. They weren't named until one night when the head engineer woke up in a cold sweat and desperately etched the word UNIKRON on one of the machines, before demanding it to be locked away in the deepest, darkest cells of the foundation, never to be seen again. Soon, UNIKRON was found to be supposedly deactivated just like the others.

in another building division, the other machine would be named PRIMUS, and with a strained and reluctant agreement, it was powered on for testing.

It succeeded in its purpose.

In several tests it managed to create almost all discovered elements in the universe. In a few more tests it created small machines of its own, all docile and curious as their creator.

But it struggled to create true organic life. And time was running out.

Not only were environmental problems and corruption slowly killing the earth, something was reported to be drilling deeper and deeper beyond its surface, spreading itself rapidly like a plague. It was already at the outer core, and the heat and pressure were not stopping it.

and to no one's surprise? it was UNIKRON.

efforts soon were turned to eliminating the rogue "machine", putting less focus on PRIMUS. but UNIKRON was hard to eliminate, and the world rotted more and more. the RUST virus is created in efforts to truly kill UNIKRON, and when that fails, the RESET kill code was formed.

it deactivated UNIKRON's Matrix. it still lived.

soon, the machine started targetting the wing where PRIMUS was kept. panic rose and chaos increased, but those who kept their sanity combined the RUST virus with the RESET kill code, forming the RR Array. with efforts and many sacrifices, two engineers survive long enough to inject UNIKRON with the RR Array, and release PRIMUS far into the depths of space.

earth dies along with UNIKRON.

PRIMUS drifts in the vast abyss of space, alone and quiet, for a hundred years. in another hundred years, Cybertron is created in the memory of Earth. after billions of years, it collapses from the weight of a great war, just like Earth.

this is now where the show would start

cybertronians landing on the corpse of a once beautiful planet, and as they farm energon and try to survive each other, they investigate wreckage - and learn more about their origins.

the more they dig deep, the more they'll realize that they might just not be the only ones on this planet.....

“the cautious ewe. the chime of its bell begets its strike.”

hooved

🛎️ power - 3 health - 3 blood

bell ringer - this card’s power increases the closer it is to the combat bell. power also increases for each chime on the field.

bellist - when a card bearing this sigil is played, a chime is created on each empty adjacent space. chimes have 0 power and 1 health.

hidden trait - insulating coat

this card cannot be transformed into a frozen creature. frozen creatures have 0 power, 5 health, and the frozen away sigil.

mirewebelle… she’s one of my favorites out of all the cards i’ve made. anyways!! writeup time!!

ding ding! yeah this entire card is themed around that one interaction on the first floor where mira talks about the bells on her brooch. she might be trapped in a card but i can’t take away her funny noises

the bell ringer + bellist interaction is so cool but it’s so hard to achieve ingame. with optimal placement, mira can do 5 damage on turn 1. hence why she’s a 3 blood! she hits harder than a grizzly. those funny noises are dangerous

i know female sheep don’t usually have horns but like. shsshhsshhhhh. she looks cooler with the horns. she’s like. one of those breeds where both males and females have horns. it’s fine.

i wanted to make the eyes in her alt art look like the change symbol!! because it’s fun!! every alt card has something special!

unlike sif, mira isn’t a talking card! none of the party is actually. as always siffrin suffers alone broken heart emoji.

also! that card trait huh. what the hell is a frozen creature? it’s. a reskin of the frozen opposum. i’ve got a king boss fight in the works and one of the mechanics of it is that he’ll target spaces and turn the cards within them into frozen cards. the frozen away sigil makes the card release a creature upon being killed. in this case, it’d probably return the card to the state it was in prior to getting frozen. and it’s called insulating coat because sheep teehee.

her patch’s sigil is armored/nano armor! which prevents the card from taking damage the first time it gets hit. since transferred sigils also affect the chimes, her chimes can tank an extra hit in battle! looking back though, i think leader would’ve synergized with her kit a bit better. since she can’t get an attack buff at campfire events (without glitches, at least), she’s basically capped at 5 power without that sigil. oh well! armored still works.

speaking of that patch. FUCK that patch. i had to cut out a jpeg of that thing by hand for every card because oops! i couldn’t find a png of it! only one of the card generators lets you add patches and it’s the less game-accurate one. so i had to manually cut it out for each card that had a tribe. which is most of them. hhhh at least i don’t have to deal with it anymore. it sucked.

and i think that’s all my notes on this card! here is a mirewe. observe her

Soda is actually the best EGO because for nearly a year after its release it had no application. No ID to synergize with. Only claim to fame was Hong Lu's magical girl transformation into a shrimpmonger.

Then the Walpurgisnacht 5 hit and Hong Lu actually got a Poise ID...that he needs another ID to sync up to to build EGO resource for Soda. You're pretty much encouraged to get Full Stop Hong Lu and Heathcliff together because half their kits are just doing syncronized shooting attacks. And it's what makes Soda a viable option to equip.

Oh yeah and this voiceline became so much less funny in hindsight:

10/10 best EGO in the game.

This was based on a conversation. I've since forgotten what that conversation was, probably about Tracks being a wet cat, but here he is.

Design belongs to Kray for TF Synergize. You can find him at nyah.

I think Icubate would work better as a phyrexian mechanic if it used creatures instead of artefacts. Like you put down a Human, put a bunch of counters on it, then pay the cost to flip it and it becomes a phyrexian variant of the original creature with that many +1/+1 counters on it. make it into a mechanical representation of your creatures getting compleated.

Oh, interesting!

In short, my personal gripe with Incubate is that 1) it uses +1/+1 counters, which synergize well with proliferate but mix strangely with New Phyrexia's usual poison and -1/-1 counters, and 2) it encourages utilizing big vanilla creatures while the original design philosophy of New Phyrexia was supposed to be transgressive, winning in ways that bend rules and expectations--hence poison and proliferate.

I don't think that Phyrexians should use +1/+1 counters directly, and ONE skirted this creatively with a creature that essentially has Evolve--the Simic mechanic--but with oil counters instead.

I will concede that I do think Transform was an excellent mechanic choice for Phyrexians (and I used it myself in a custom New Phyrexia return set years ago), though it does fall out of lockstep with the type's counter and proliferate focus. I do like the flavor of creatures transforming into Phyrexianized versions like you said, and this could be accomplished through more than transform cards, such as theft that turns creatures into Phyrexians or gives them infect/toxic.

I think the combination of +1/+1 counters and proliferate is best left to the game's other iconic counter-focused transhumanist faction, the Simic Combine. The overlaps between the Simic and New Phyrexia are very heavy at certain points, and Magic story even acknowledged this with the plot point of many Simic guild members becoming glisteners during March of the Machine.

(Though Zegana was not a glistener--she did not actively desire or seek out compleation, as far as we know--her murder was directly motivated by suspicion about her dabbling with Phyrexian biology. Even in-universe characters caught on to the Simic/Phyrexian similarities quickly.)

I will say that I at least like the design of Brimaz a bit more as he encourages using incubate creatures as sacrifice fodder to fuel proliferation and a potential infect gameplan, which does feel very Phyrexian.

ZeLink - Post-Upheaval [Zelda Proxy Project]

Support Malin further here: Malin Falch's INPRNT

Here is now the last pairing of Zelda and Link for my wife's all-proxy Zelda-themed commander deck, neither of these can be used as a commander, however in the spirit of my "open world" deck-building philosophy for this deck both of these Planeswalkers can be used as a functioning "Oathbreaker". Oathbreaker is a 60-card singleton commander-esque format that uses a planeswalker as a commander, and this deck contains a functioning 60-card Oathbreaker deck within it for both of these planeswalkers.

On the left, we have Zelda, now the Sage of Time in Tears of the Kingdom. Using the Grand Master of Flowers as a base was to reference her transformation into the Light Dragon, which I think is perfect, but notably Grand Master of Flowers also searches for "Monk of the Open Hand" which too gets a fitting proxy:

I mean, tell me that's not just perfect?

___________

On the right, we have Link, now dubbed the Champion of Hyrule:

I picked this Ajani base as it synergizes well with the Aura and Creature focused sections of the deck, and the "gain 100 life" ability feels fitting for a man who slept in stasis for 100 years. The 3 +1/+1 counters also evokes the triforce, which Tears of the Kingdom Link has a much stronger connection to, as he has spent time living with Zelda, who wields the full triforce.

Now while this Malin art is probably my favorite of her work with Link, and I had a lot of fun warping the frame of the card to get that arm-over-the-textbox look, my wife prefers a different Malin piece, so here is that one as well:

ALRIIIIGHT NOW TO GO NUTS OVER ONE OF MY FAVORITE ROBLOX GAMES OF ALL TIME

Topic of the day: Star Glitcher

A few years ago, I ran into a game called Star Glitcher Revitalized. I went in thinking the premise was interesting, and at first I was pretty confused. But later on as I understood how the game worked, I was hooked. The gameplay along with fun bosses and mechanics made me come back for more, as well as grinding for skins!

In the older years of Roblox, there was a script that was created unintentionally. The script was originally meant for an Undertale battleground game, and it was a Chara build. The original scripter, Bird, wanted to model Chara's knife, but it ended up looking like a strange wedge. Bird then realized that, upon rotating it upsidedown, it looked like a bladed wing. After some tweaking, the script went from what was originally a Chara script, into a concept that flourished into its own independent game. Enter: Star Glitcher

As far as I know, the first iteration of Star Glitcher, formerly known as Spectrum Glitcher v1, was lost media, but overtime it evolved into newer versions, which unfortunately got leaked to the public when it shouldnt have. As a result, it briefly created a surplus of new Glitcher scripts which derive from Spectrum Glitcher. Colloquially, they were all known as Glitchers, but they soon were called Star Glitchers from the star design and concept. The one that was most popular at the time were later versions of Spectrum Glitcher, as well as some others, though some of which have faced controversy due to explicit nature.

Later on, Roblox began to push out a wave of anti-exploit measures, essentially killing off many scripts and their functionality. From here, the script went from being an individual script into its own original game. The popular one at this time was called Star Glitcher: Filter Enabled (SG:FE). This was where the concept of Star Glitcher began to grow and become its own independent title, garnering new fans and scripters that wanted to join in. After a couple years, the game was finally revamped into a proper, modern game, now known as Star Glitcher Revitalized (SGR), thus bringing us to todays version of Star Glitcher, alongside other variations!

So what is Star Glitcher Revitalized exactly? SGR is a game where the user is granted a small star on their chest, and wedge-shaped wings that flap behind the user along with a ring at the center. The main gimmick of Star Glitcher is that you can switch into different modes, each of which have their own unique name, colors, designs, and movesets. The modes are accessed through keybinds, which enables quick transformations into different modes for different outcomes. This act of switching modes is known as "glitching", hence the name of the script. Not only are there modes, but each mode has their own submode, which enables even more transformations to be discovered. To make things even cooler, there are modes that lead you to sides. Sides are essentially new extra modes to access, sometimes with their own unique gimmicks and abilities. This makes strategizing and synergizing really fun as you have a BUNCH of sides to go through. To this day there are modes that get updated and sides that get added, each with their own movesets, health, jump power, and speed!

What makes this even more exciting is the amount of bosses to fight against, as well as general PVP and testing out abilities in general! There is also a crafting mechanic where you can craft and ewuip chips, which essentially boost things such as your speed, damage, defense, etc.! This game adds such a unique flavor to general battleground games with the strategy of using certain modes, sides, and synergies to compete against bosses or others! The only thing is since the game is so abstract, it actually sometimes pushes people away which makes me so sad since the game is actually really entertaining and offers cool rewards such as new modes or skins. Then again the gameplay looks like this, BUT TRUST ITS SO MUCH FUN

CW // FLASHY

And the idea alone is so extremely flexible that its created so many badass Glitcher variations like.,. where do I even begin.,.

Like, seeing how much this concept has grown and transformed into other individual projects is so so so BADASS it genuinely makes me so happy with how creative this flexible idea has become! I genuinely wish more people came to appreciate this game and concept because it has so much effort put into it and it has a fun gameplay loop to get into

I justjRHRGAJRVAHGRE TLDR - Star Glitcher is one of the COOLEST games on Roblox PERIOD. And I say this as a Roblox vet from 2012‼️
