sketch designs for au @keferon x) I'm too lazy to post concepts for them here, but they exist, lol

Reflector is a parrotfish and Astrotrain is a blue whale

[amateur-flamingo]

a little practice for ask with designs of the current and pre-war times

I really want to sit down and properly describe and translate my headcanons…

[amateur-flamingo]

MENASOR!

I started trying to draw in photoshop and this is my first one there

I practiced with his face before, but overall… I'll still think about how exactly to draw his helmet

[amateur-flamingo]

I completely forgot. I did sketches with stanticons, a little, on the au with the @keferon mermaids

Breaky is a moray eel, because I said so x)

Breakdown is not a particularly active predator (in the sense that he doesn't chase prey, his species is kind of used to ambushes and all that), so he doesn't fit in well with the Stunticons at the food pen but he likes to climb through garbage dumps with them and find either something edible or just interesting from the Humans but because of his length he often miscalculates his strength and gets tangled in fishing lines and nets he once got tangled in one of these in his youth and couldn't get rid of it for a long time, so he has scars from the tightening

well and also just a joke yeaaah

I drew a bit of the other stunts, but I'm not sure I want to post them… it didn't turn out very neat

[amateur-flamingo]

it was a little bragging about how well I can draw emotions x)

scetches!

[amateur-flamingo]

i joined new tf ask, so now i will draw more stunticons and Breakdown x)

love these boyyys

so i gonna tell about idw lore of them, and i plane try translate big-big text that i wrote about headcanons....

[amateur-flamingo]

I've been wanting to redraw this for SO LONG… I just couldn't resist!

New Year's resolution, actually read Lost Light/MTMTE

[amateur-flamingo]

I FINALLY MADE FULL REFERENCES FOR MY STUNTICONS

it took half a year, but i am TERRIBLY happy with the result! finally i can draw them all together

LOVE THEM SO SO MUCH

some thoughts about Reflector

translation: YES yes y-yes yes yes yes yes ooo... you just... you are perfect~... keep talking I will take off all of you I want to take off EVERYTHING. want want want want want want i know about you all all all ALL

I've been working with Reflector since about November, and I've only just now caught such a precise connection about how I want them to be and how they should be in my performance damn yeah, they're a fucking stalker, they follow their "victims" so much that they know not just some little dirty details, they can track them down to their place of residence, they find out all their acquaintances, they know all their favorite places and the times they go there, they know everything before they start their blackmail because this shit is not normal, and they themselves are not normal either, and they are not in vain afraid of going to jail for their actions because they catch obsession, they just cling to espionage with all their fingers and do not let go until they suck everything out it is impossible to be friends with them, because no conversations with them will ever be "between us", it is impossible to have a relationship with them, because they will definitely dump their partner if they have to they only trust themselves, and only with themselves can they be honest, can show fear and can be frank i played a small episode with them and Rung and OH HO HO I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO THE SURFACE OF THE ICEBERG WITH THIS they actually deserved what Motormaster did to them, because they openly broke into the Stunticon quarters and followed Breakdown, because they were completely delighted by his paranoia and fear of looks and cameras the only one they really respect is Soundwave, because he has even more information, and he will always be a hundred steps ahead of them they are afraid of his telepathy, although they are not sure if it is real and hell, now in RP I definitely have the opportunity to interact with Blurr, who is LITERALLY an idol, who is literally a star, and about whom it is simply impossible not to want to learn information i have this idea was back in odyssey when i played him myself, and damn i'm still so excited about it aaaaaaaaaa at the same time i really want someone to talk some sense into them not like Motormaster, no, but… like… in words, or something they're about two million years old, they're children of war, but not everything is lost with them, in fact they can be better :( they can be directed in the right direction and try to get rid of their obsession but for now they're a natural incel and hate everyone in general they're not ashamed of what they do, because in their understanding they're doing everything right, and it's everyone around them who's wrong, who judges them and doesn't want to deal with them for now… that's it

[amateur-flamingo]

AND I COMPLETELY FORGOT THAT I DID THIS

I have headcanons that Shockwave and Blurr knew each other before the war (and before the empurata) and spent time together. Blurr is an outlier, and Shockwave was interested in this as well

AND OF COURSE OPTIMUS))) their mutual friend ;) who needs to be taught to dance

SO THIS IS ELECTROSWING! I continue to headcanon it to Blur

also this is literally my second animation xd

[amateur-flamingo]

to be honest i put so much effort into my previous work that i was too tired to post anything here :(

nevertheless! finished a little work with Reflector^^

they are so cute that I could eat them

look at them, you can trust them with a firearm!!!

On the day the cosmos opened up, humanity united its forces to protect the Earth. While fearless pilots fight in enemy territory in the vastness of the stars, the guardians of our planet become bigger, better, stronger.

I'm really into @keferon mecha au. I wanted to finish my concept before the New Year, but so much stuff piled up during the holidays that I didn't have time. Nevertheless! I'm happy to share my thoughts on the Stunticon team in this setting >:) I don't claim canonicity, so this could very well be just an au au.

Menasor is a human project on par with other "combiners". They are significantly larger than normal mechs and require much greater resources to both build and pilot. To operate such a colossal robot, several people are needed at once; which is, in fact, unthinkable, given how precisely one must perform actions and navigate within the machine. Eventually, "Mind Melding" was developed, which involves pilots sharing impressions, feelings, and thoughts with each other. To achieve greater efficiency, each member of the team must be in closer relationships, reducing the likelihood of systemic problems occurring during the merge.

Being the second combiner created, Menasor is far from perfect, including because of its pilots. Its components are a team of Stunticons - former road bandits, after the trial sent in a "good direction" for the benefit of all mankind. A choice without a choice, but in the end none of them were against participating in the experiment. Each of them is responsible for a separate part of the robot's body, in fusion they really provide sufficient efficiency to fulfill the assigned mission - fighting the incoming monsters.

I won't hide that I was greatly inspired by the piloting methods in Pacific Rim and Evangelion. For my concept, I use the "drift" system, the merging of the consciousnesses of two pilots; as well as the capsule system for the pilots from Eva, each of which is placed in a separate limb of Menasor. Also! I am absolutely delighted by the existence of the "berserker" form in Evangelion, and, frankly, I can't help but add it here.

The imperfection of combiners lies, among other things, in the imbalance of human minds. At the moment of failure - technical, emotional, any other - there is a possibility of awakening the personality of the mech. When the consciousnesses of the pilots merge, leaving no room for each one separately - a berserker appears, acting on his instincts alone. The components stop responding to requests, and the only way to stop the combiner is either running out of energy or fighting him.

Menasor was the first combiner with a recorded case of mind fusion. Due to some fragmentation of the Stunticons, as well as their psychological problems, the mecha went out of control and stopped communicating with the control center. More animalistic behavior during the battle with the alien, and then the destruction of more than a third of the abandoned city before the batteries died, forced the responsible persons to temporarily stop using Menasor in missions until the circumstances were clarified. The Stunticons were subsequently sent for a second medical examination, each assigned a personal specialist, and the same was done with the members of the other teams.

Nevertheless, everyone appreciated the effectiveness of destroying the enemy in the form of a berserker. The risk, to some extent, was worth it, so the program was not terminated, soon returning the combiners to duty.

Probably, if the concept eventually works out, I'll also make full-fledged designs for the Stunticons x) I already have an idea, I just need to put in more effort for it.

[amateur-flamingo]

you have no idea how difficult it is to try to immerse myself in a community whose language I don't know well enough and at the same time create my own concept on this topic

I regret every moment that I can't read 100500 posts of other people simply because I don't have enough resources to translate(

however, I'm really trying to prepare a pretty big post, and I hope that in the next few days I'll be able to show you one big boy ;)

[amateur-flamingo]

You're probably dead!

a friendly reminder that stunticons are psychopaths ;)

I like to think that Breakdown is pretty harmless in that regard, but he also doesn't differentiate between "good things" and "bad things"

[amateur-flamingo]

ААА У ВАС ТАКИЕ КЛАССНЫЕ РИСУНОЧКИ С ТРАНСФОРМЕРАМИ ❤❤❤ ПРЯМО ЗАГЛЯДЕНИЕ 🙏🙏 а у вас есть еще соц сети кроме тумбочки??

Спасибо большое, я рад это слышать! owo

Да, у меня еще есть группа в VK (я мало в нем активен) и канал в Telegram (моя основа)

я там публикую куда больше скетчей х)

running after the sensation

[amateur-flamingo]

How do you view the Stunticons? Are they family? Brothers? Friends? Coworkers eternally stuck together?

I think that "gestalt" itself can already be a definition, although it seems rather vague

I would call them a family, but they are more than a family

they are extremely close to each other, they have gone through millions of years of war TOGETHER, in one squad, they know each other like their own mind, and especially after uniting into a combiner

I don't rule out a relationship between each other either, although I'm still a little hesitant about headcanoning a full-fledged polycule

in any case, they are definitely not just coworkers >:D

Going to Eat your art :)))

glad you like it!
