Design for wasp and waspinator

After all this time, finally someone back home came looking for the missing autobots, but unfortunately he wasn't looking to help, wasp is looking to settle the score with bumblebee and would do anything to get his way, even becoming a horrible transmetal mutant

Wasp HATES bumblebee, a trottlebot reject he used to hang around cliffjumper and bee back in the day where he had the most experience between the three of them. but his overconfident, opportunistic personality caused bee to pay extra attention to him as he reminded him of his brother hot rod, and wasp hated every second of it.

bumblebee's constant attempts to further their friendship really got to his nerves, seeing the whole exercise as an atempt to control him, and keep him away from his true potential as an autobot scout, he left their little friend group literally one day before optimus choose them to go on the mission to earth

Wasp came crawling back, begging to be let back into the team but he made it more than clear he wanted nothing to do with them the previous day so bumblebee in an act of pettiness, already filled his spot with hot rod and left, leaving wasp to think on his life, while bee and the others would be kocked offline thought to be dead for years, when wasp learned of the disappearance of the mission that in his eyes belonged to him. Rather than be sad about the loss of his old friends, or be relieved he wasn't one name in the list of missing persons among them, wasp grew obsessed with "what if"

What would have happened if he was aboard the ship, could he have made a difference when they got attacked? He convinces himself he would've, and becomes obsessed with tracking down the lost autobot ship, determined to prove he's better than the others, losing sleep and eventually tracking them down but as he wasn't a good pilot, his ship crashed, leaving him stranded on the planet alongside the other autobots

But when he arrived at their new base, he saw a new trottlebot, glyph. Wasp always knew hot rod wasn't really a replacement, he was too different but glyph was born from the same mold as him, was green like him and even had a nasally voice like him,

from his twisted perspective it was clear as day that he never really mattered to anybody, he was expendable, and bumblebee was a liar who clouded his judgement by looking so weak as to make him think he was actually important to somebody, only to be thrown out the moment he wanted more,

Sensing his instability the six clan approached him with a deal, the power to take his revenge in exchange for servitude, and wasp, bitter at the world accepted it, and was transformed by the transmetal driver into the unstable transmetal mutant waspinator

So, the new Transformers Wild King series has released five episodes with a surprisingly winding road between them, and I felt compelled to try and conceptualize what Elementros would look like in the Acaverse.

Hi hi hiii!

Saw you're taking requests, so I was wondering if I could request BW Cheetor with a Fem!S/O that is aquatic? Like, her beast mode is a squid/octopus, or a shark (or maybe even a mix of both if you wanna go that far), and alongside that, she has this sort of mermaid mode that's an in-between point of her beast mode and robot mode.

His Sea Goddess (BW! Cheetor x Cybertronian! Reader with an Octopus alt-mode)

Your stasis pod landed in an ocean, and it hit a rock on the way down, causing it to start the process of scanning for a beast-mode to survive on this planet, and it scanned a local Octopus.

You loved swimming. You swam in the river back and forth, even coming across the ship by the waterfall. That's when you met Cheetor. Well, more like he saw you and followed you.

When you did notice him, you started the conversation, you both got along, and the rest is history. You're usually not a social bot for you like being alone, so you striking up a conversation first was a surprise to you.

You both continued to hang out in secret because your dislike for groups. He would make you laugh from his stupid jokes and many dumb one liners, and you would entertain him with tricks and singing like you were putting on a show. It's strange, you don't like being social, but you like the dramatics.

The only reason the rest of the Maximals found out about you is because they and the Predacons were battling near one of your napping spots, the sounds waking you up and making you cranky.

You went up to the surface, and you fought and won against some of the Predacons before they retreated; it was like fighting the Kraken. Literally, the lower half of your body was like Ursula.

When being introduced, you kept a stoic expression and acted cold, but when it was Cheetor talking, you had a happy face and treated him like he was a childhood friend; it's obvious you have a favorite.

Now, your relations with everyone else. For Rattrap, he was basically how he was with Dinobot when he joined but was a bit more linnet and was met with the same kind of sass. You have his respect.

You and Rhinox are like brother and sister with your knowledge for inventions and technology, and with your extra arms/tentacles, you are always welcomed to help whenever he's working. 2-for-2 bud

Your relationship with Dinobot is kinda strained. You both don't like each other, but you both don't hate each other. It's basically looking into a mirror, but with a different reflection.

You get a weird feeling about Optimus, not the bad kind; it's a weird, good kind. Any invention you make, you show it to Optimus first if it would be good to used. If he approves, you feel a sense of euphoria that you made him proud; if he disapproves, saying that it's morally bad to make an invention that would destroy the Predacons in one fell swoop, you take in the information to better your projects- no you don't see him as a Sire! You don't know what Rattrap's talking about!

Cheetor, you've always had a good relationship with him. You heal him up when he gets injured after a battle or an accident, you always volunteer to go on scouting missions with him, you always assist him, you love seeing his cute smile everyday. Same thing with Cheetor! He would do anything for you, even if it's to make you laugh; he loves it.

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew have to deal with watching the two of you pinning over each other, not even realizing your feelings for one another.

Bonus:

Rattrap: Hey, kiddo! So, you have a crush on the fish lady? Cheetor: ...I HAVE A CRUSH ON C/N?! Rattrap: You didn't realize it until now?! Later... Rattrap: So, fish brains, you have a crush on pussycat? C/n: ...I HAVE A CRUSH ON CHEETOR?! Rattrap: Oh, come on!

FORTY YEARS!

As we reluctantly trudge into 2025, that means we've had FOUR DECADES of Transformers toys released globally with no breaks. So for January's Patreon-backed @tfwiki picture update, let's check out some toys from each of the major franchise chunks across TF history! Strap in!

I know it's an odd choice, but G1's representative is 1993's Europe-only Lightformer DEFTWING. But I think it's a fine example of TF's subteam gimmicks, the franchise's longevity even before the nostalgia boom, global reach, and its ever-evolving aesthetic.

(And as an personal-type note, this completes the Lightformers/Trakkons on the wiki, toy-pic-wise. Finally, all user-provided pics rather than crunchy old book scans. I love it when I can complete a team/theme like that.)

Beast Wars was a drastic change meant to save a dying line. And boy oh boy did it do that. Toys like 1997's B'BOOM mix "realistic" animal styling with super-posability and play gimmickry. Oh, also? This guy, a bit bigger than a modern Voyager, was $15. How's that make ya feel?

Car Robots/Robots in Disguise translated BW tech into classic TF Earth-vehicle alt-modes... with varying levels of success. WILDRIDE, aka X-BRAWN, here in a con-exclusive clear "transitional" state from regular to "Super" mode, is one of the better attempts.

The "Unicron Trilogy" really pushed toy-play gimmickry, and Armada's Mini-Cons are easily the best representative of the era. And Armada BLACKOUT (here in Powerlinx colors) embodies the versatility of their play pattern, with dedicated interactions with Demolishor.

The live-action movies were also a huge change in TF toys, both refining complexity and working some interesting gimmick & design challenges. 2007's DROPKICK is from the tie-in video games, and is a fun angry dude. The Bumblebee movie guy too? Maybe! Why not?

Animated's radical aesthetic shift had BW levels of immediate rejection followed by sudden glowing (and deserved) praise. SAMURAI PROWL shows off the tight coordination between the show and toy teams, making a complex design into a dang fun toy!

Prime kicked off the "Aligned" era, a massive reboot that formed the foundations of TF mythology going forward. New bots kept coming like AIRACHNID, here in her TakaraTomy "Arms Micron" release. And like other newcomers, proved popular enough to jump to other series!

Cyberverse used "evergreen" designs in a further shift to more kid-aimed TFs, which had started after Prime with Rescue Bots and Robots in Disguise 2015. ALPHA TRION embodies this with a much chunkier, simpler, action-gimmicky toy.

And now it's EarthSpark, focused on a new generation of TFs... but not all of them are nice! Chaos Terran SPITFIRE embodies the increased number of female TFs in the line... and the longstanding practice of redecoed toys as new characters, being a recolor of Twitch.

40 dang years. And I'll keep on going through it to bring more toy pics throughout its wide history for as long as I can. If you like these explorations and want to help out, consider contributing to my Patreon! Every little bit helps. You can find it at

First tfoc! This is Triage, and they are an Autobot medic that handles casulty triage (aptly named lol), and tends to be a bit of a downer because of the sad fieldwork they do all the time D:
