#Autobot Rewind

Cassette Brothers: 1986

Look, I'm no Taylor and Travis type of guy, but Autobot Rewind and his Football loving twin brother, Eject are. This was a sketch made back in June and I want to give it the finishing touches. 📼🖤💙🏈✨

In both modes, Blaster's chest cavity can store the compressed forms of the assorted Autobot cassettes. He can then select and launch any of the stored cassettes. ⏹️⏏️⏺️⏯️��⏩

Thinking about how Bayverse Optimus would interact with the Lost Light Crew. The setup for a crossover is right there

He would literally just hit their windshield

Rewind is highly skilled in all known physical and electronic information archiving and retrieval technologies and methods. He has a specially designed internal light-matrix based memory system with a near infinite capacity for data storage. He can instantly add and retrieve information; he can also release some of the light energy to turn himself into a blinding beacon. He is armed with two adhesion rifles that fire unbreakable metal-bonding glue.

Some people got the real problems Some people out of luck Some people think I can solve them Lord heavens above I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me

This ended up exactly as I hoped and I'm super happy with it as a back-to-basics piece with only lineart and shading to carry the strength of the message of wanting to be seen as human, feat. the Cold Constructs of TTB (Megatron, Prowl, Ravage, Starscream, Blaster and Laserbeak in that order).

There is quite a bit of symbolism going on here, so if you're interested in an indepth discussion of it, it's all under the cut.

Only the eyes were colored for each character, because in TTB, Cold Constructs are often regarded as ‘soulless’ so it’s more or less highlighting that they ‘have a soul’ in that aspect (eyes being the window to the soul and all).

Bleeding from their barcodes, to show that they are still very much human underneath the thing which makes them ‘less than human’ in the eyes of many,

Most of them looking directly at the audience to challenge their perception of shame in being government-assigned second-class citizens. (CCs learn to keep their gaze low when talking to higher ranked individuals early on)

The poses also speak to the character and how they handle their status as a Cold Construct:

Megatron is readying himself to slug anyone who speaks ill about what he is.

Prowl is stoic about what he is but also learning to be open/trusting about it (this is the most vulnerable position for the code after all, letting anyone see this has to be deliberate act on his end).

Ravage is the one most close up to the audience since he’s the one who’s most in-your-face and unapologetic about what he is.

Starscream is reluctant but defiant about it, and more interestingly, it looks like he’s been stabbed in the back, to show that he was betrayed by the system long before he learned to lie and scheme.

Blaster is the only one who seems to invite the audience, and it’s because unlike the others, his status as a CC was only was outed by himself in adulthood after he’d been accepted as an ordinary man following years of Rewind doing the best to make sure he grew up ‘normal’. He chose to take a stand and used his influence to spread awareness about the issue via his own success as a news reporter, and him reaching out to the audience aims to bridge the divide, and also ask them in a way, to see for themselves just how different his blood is from theirs. at the end of the day. (He is based off IDW Blaster, and has red eyes! As the red-eyes-evil blue-eyes-good divide doesn’t exist in TTB and he’s one of a handful of Autobots that have red ones)

Laserbeak is the only one with her eyes hidden, but that she’s weeping and it looks like her heart is bleeding speaks to how what she is still hurts her even if she tries to put up a blase front.

the thing about tailgate is that when you think about it he's actually a little terrifying. and im not even talking about his outlier. like you have to remember that this guy is running off of literally 2 weeks of life experience and then whatever the heck the losers on the lost light are telling him about. yeah hes kinda naive but with that in mind everything he does is like 50x more impressive. dude told like 500 separate lies and managed to cover his tracks thoroughly enough to avoid getting caught for *months*. thoroughly enough to fool ultra magnus and we all know what he's like. autopedia didn't even exist in tailgate's time. he tricked rewind into teaching him how to defuse a bomb and only ALMOST killed a bunch of people. he was bored out of his skull the entire time magnus was teaching him the autobot code but he actually REMEMBERED it. like yeah he falls for getaway's whole shtick but he's literally the only person on board who has an excuse for that kind of thing. literally everyone else has like a million years life experience on him and look at the kind of dumbassery all of them get into. if tailgate hadn't fallen into a hole and blacked out for several million years the war would have been over in 5 minutes real and true. we're all lucky that tailgate's top priority is movie night
