#cybug springer

[velvetwyrme]

!!!My Idea for Triple-Changers!!! Since there's only, like, four triple changers, i think they'd be really really rare hybrid individuals. Also I think Tarantulas steals genetic/CNA data during scavenging missions and shoved all of them together with his own to create little springer, which is why he Looks Like That. Dragonfly/grasshopper thing.

Also I think in the wild, Cybugs in general are more omnivorous, but mechanimals, helicopters, and seekers are much more carnivorous as a requirement. I think Seeker Trines first started forming in order to hunt bigger prey (tarantulas, songbirds, etc)

Speaking of Tarantuals. I think he's much closer to an obligate carnivore, and likely hunts birds and large insects (plus the occasional poor cybug he can catch in his web)

Springer can create webs/thread as a grub, but looses the ability after metamorphosis. Also Tarantulas does Not go through metamorphasis, he molts many many times instead like a regular spider. He probably eats the shedded plating/armour too

this is so fun i am very very entertained by Little Creechurs

AAYWAHAJHDJ AHH this is really really cool 🥺❣️ these are all very very fun things to think about >:000

springer being a hybrid of a buncha different types of CNA... really fun! outlier of outliers... hybrids are already not very common but he's got a WEIRD mixup of genes (in realistic terms i think they'd be too far apart in terms of biology/taxonomy for a typical genetic hybrid to be created* but also. it's Tarantulas. he could do it.

i like the idea of trines forming to hunt larger prey- i can absolutely see that being one of the factors tht influenced their formation :0!! also i definitely agree abt your thoughts on diet <3! (obligate carnivore tarantulas... !!)

*usually hybrids occur between subspecies/species/genera, but again, it's Tarantulas. also sometimes we can bend the rules because they are. little guys that turn into vehicles but are also bugs. AND i think technically w/ the existing taxonomic chart most triple changers wouldve had to hybridize at a level above genera anyway, so honestly who the fuck knows.

hey guys ive gotten myself obsessed w/ @velvetwyrme's cybugs and i was thinking too hard abt IDW tarantulas so. behold this ahah (i tried to copy the tumblr posts that the au sometimes followed ahaha)

[t4ckie-j4ckie]

LMAO?? IM WINNING!! hehehehehe same brain!! I lov Little Guys in cannon and in cybugs :D!! Gonna draw more tarantulas + springer shenanigans in retaliation hehehehe

@t4ckie-j4ckie you have gOTTA STOP BEING SO RIGHT ABOUT THINGS I HAVE PLANNED (/lh)

WAWAAHWJWHAJBFN OMG weird spider!!!!! today is truly tarantulas day... so much tarantulas...

and AWW its verity!! 🥺💖 HRFJDHSK i love that shes just like. well. now i have a roommate (or two) LMAO
