#Jetstorm RiD

Drift's Jettrine AU

Crack at the Drift Fam + Jetfire but in TFP instead of RiD.

the trine need some tweaks; sharper detailing more muted colors, but i feel like this is a good start.

i love how cohesive the Drift fam's designs are in RiD, and i need to figure out a better way to integrate that with their "new" paint jobs without completely sacrificing their color pallets.

Random Lore/Backstory:

Deadlock's was one the Decpeticon's most dangerous

The minicons backstory with Shadow Raker is still canon, with Jetfire thrown in

(JETFIRE AND SKYFIRE ARE SEPERATE ENTITIES)

While all three are Deployers, they have aeiral altmodes as well transforming into jets, with their Earth altmodes are Bede Bd-5J's specifically

i guess this technically makes them triple changers??? but that doesn't seem to be as big of a deal in the Aligned verse (gestures to the Rescuebots' (+Rescuebots Academy) whole deal in mild confusion) so i hesitate to refer them as such so yeah

Slipstream was previously known as Jetstream before she transitioned (🏳️‍⚧️)

Has had the hardest time breaking her stealing habits, and is very protective of what she thinks as hers (this extends to her family as well as her weaponry)

Jetstorm lost his right optic in an "accident" before he joined ShadowRaker (no one would hire a "broken ugly" minicon when there were so many perfectly functioning cute ones ready for hire

still prone to reckless rushing and the subsequent overthinking and overcorrecting (feeling the need to prove he is useful and worth his mentor's time)

Jetfire is a slight pyro maniac which he shamelessly denies even as he sticks a shatterbomb to someone

he also has a terrible luck when it comes to weather, and gets easily lost without his trinemates

Deadlock split off from Shadow Raker after being mocked/baited one too many times

Pissed, he'd planned on simply stealing Shadow Raker's favorite ship and skipping town but he ended up stumbling across the Jettrine being when he was searching for supplies

it was easier just to take them then try and weasel his way out of it, and they surprisingly went along with it

struck out on his own after a while (and needing shanix for energon for the triplets he'd picked up) and caught Megatron's eye

Joined the decepticons as a mercenary and starting getting clean, rising in the ranks. Deadlock was no 'Wave but he held Megatron's favor

when Deadlock found out Megatron still worked with Shadow Raker, he didn't take it well

the start of the deterioration of their relationship- Deadlock being outraged that Megatron tolerated someone who saw his men as objects/tools/etc from one under his command and Megatron... really not giving a shit about the details

Shadow Raker's forces were damn good at their job, they were all treated well, and he was a proven loyal decepticon, so what did it matter if he gave out punishments and stole a few things here and there (SR is obviously not stupid enough to steal from Megatron or it would be a different story)

Megatron allowed Deadlock to storm out, assigning him the occasional mission as he blew off steam and meandered

Deadlock isn't happy with the direction the Decpeticon cause is going but has no idea what to do about it (because if it pans out to nothing then he killed and committed so many war crimes for NOTHING)

his newly acquired students, however they became such, aren't particularly bothered with politics and are far more interested in what this old man has to teach them

Eventually Deadlock gets orders to return to the Nemesis to get a personal debriefing on the chain of command

thinking Megatron's finally gonna address the issues he'd been seeing, he made it in record time

... to find STARSCREAM in charge

Flat out turns on his heel and dips out at THAT shitshow

Deadlock gave the Trine their headpieces/ ornaments about a year(?) into their training, though at the time they'd been unpainted

For the @tfrarepairing fest 2024

[red-truck]

So... we're trying to trace all the series and movies where Drift is. We kinda want to know how DRATCHET would look like if they'd meet.

And this happened.

This may more or less be the Drift (IDW) you're familiar with through fan art. I mean, look at this beautiful mech.

Yeah, and then there's this Drift (Robots in Disguise) who I lovingly call Tokyo Drift (because, I mean, come on, why not) with his kids/apprentices Fast (Slipstream) and Furious (Jetstorm).

The DRIFT of Bay-verse Transformers: Age of Extinction in 2014 looked like a samurai (and a very sexy Bugatti Veyron), they then probably had the similar idea for Robots in Disguise since they're the same-ish year.

Rid 2015 Slipstream and Jetstorm but their designs are based off of scarabs

Specifically japanese beetles to tie into Drift's samurai theme.

Like obviously the two still got their samurai armor but now they would also look like beetles.

There are already dozens of animal based designs in rid 2015 (some better than others) so let Drift's sons be beetles

Bwst part? Beetles can FLY

I want Jestorm and Slipstrem to be able to fly. They can fly in other versions of their characters like in tfa animated so let them have wings let them fly

Go my scarabs

A family doesn’t need to be a husband, wife, son, and daughter.

Sometimes a family can be a tired war veteran, his adopted OCD and/or autistic daughter, his adopted son that is just an alien robot version of Kai Ninjago, a dinosaur criminal that’s on probation, a bounty hunter that was sent to turn all of them in to the police but decided not to cuz he’s too attached, the bounty hunter’s two sons, a neurodivergent prison guard who is love with the resident neurodivergent scrap collector human, the scrap collector’s human son, and the war veteran’s dad that came back from the dead after three years for the plot.

misc transformers i've been meaning to draw more and requests from my sister

[theangrycomet-art]

The Spooky Sidequest NO ONE wanted to sign up for

Drift's Jettrine having to deal with Airachnid because they clearly don't have enough trauma with shady criminals with creepy bug altmodes that spit webbing at you and want you as part of their collection.

At least with Shadow Raker they were sure he wouldn't kill them and waste all the time, energy, and resources he put into training them.

Dealing with a serial killer who has a thing for smaller prey bots is a very different story.

Jetfire is the definition of the "this is fine" meme

Mini Mayhem I

I can imagine Russell Clay being the type of kid to inadvertently teach Jetstorm & Slipstream some bad habits.

New Headcanon Now for the Drift

#The most important hedcanon for drift, he is not serious without an emotional teacher, he is a vile snake that will laugh at failure and will not even say what the pupil is wrong. The student must guess for himself. Being his student is life-threatening.

#Dedlock Former Decepticon and he has a lot of scars , He is completely blind in one eye, but he pretends that everything is fine

#By the way, he does not run or jump, but moves very slowly. He practically does not participate in battles, his students are more independent and may not attach themselves like ticks to large bots in order to be fighters.

#Or work in tandem with the side as a taxi

#Sideswipe is a drift student like them. Imagine how frightened he was when he saw drifting on the ground, running away from him

I think it's noticeable that I'm a fan sssws

Lieutenant Bumblebee with Megatron's face

Like Megatron is his dad and the facial features are more prominent as Bee gets older

Idk why I drew this, I thought it would be funny
