Velocitron concept sketches

"Oh just do a simple geometric background to get the vibe of velocitron you had in mind down, don't get distracted, the design isn't done", -my gleeby deeby ass.

Ramblings under cut

-But yeah I'm currently working on both an original look for velocitron and a velocitronian bee design, and i wanted to share here because it ended up looking so good.

Nothing is final and this is mostly just conceptual art and the excessive details are basically just potential kibble deposits for the figure and may or may not be in the "illustrator friendly" version of the design, because yes I'm hopingn to make a custom figure of this.

I'll try to do some more concept art of velocitron itself but i have a hard time doing that when i owe other landscape concept art that i owe for projects that are kind of under an unspoken nda

flat version so you can see the design more quickly:

I wanted to draw them SO MUCH AND SO LONG! LOOK AT THEM! WRRROOOOMM!!

[sturmjeager]

Okay, okay.

I am Not one of those people who Just See two caracters together for a few seconds and goes "OH MY GOD THEY ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER" or do ships out of people that try to kill each other. But this is a ship that is very, very, very unpopular and nobody seems to See it.

I am talking of them.

Megatron and Velocity.

I know some will go "What do you See there? They are Just friends" And yeah, that is possible.

But Look how worried Velocity Looks at the dents in Megs head. Look how gently she touches them as if she was afraid to hurt him more. And how genuinly happy she Looks as Megs tells her that He is happy.

She is one of the only Bots on the Lost light that helps him because she wants to help. No orders, she helps him because she wants to. As Ratchet healed Megatron the last time, He was ordered to and seemingly hated every second of it.

But Velocity? She really takes her time to make Sure He is allright and does Not judge him for his past deeds as the other Bots on the Lost light, who literally wrote on Megatron's habsuite door that He is a murderer, killer and that they will kill him.

I Just feel a certain tension between them, and i really like that it could really be a romantic one.

Megs has suffered enough in his life, He should be able to be happy and loved by somebody. And in my eyes, Velocity should be the one to Do so

... And come on their Shipname could be Velocitron that's Just funny-

I saw this post and headcanon that each Transformers-kind sub race have certain traits.

Cybertronians:

They have the most basic traits yet have the most variety in size, frame type and alt mode.

Camiens:

Based on the art in the link, they have "hair" made of razor thin strings/wires/cables resembling Solus Prime. They either styled them by hardening them like Windblade or cover them by wearing a helm like Chromia, and Nautica. In Velocity's case, she does both.

Velocitronians:

Like in IDW comics, they are mostly wheeled speedsters who are horrendously uptight with timing. Anybot who can't break Mach-1 speed are deemed crippled by society.

Eukarians:

Metal inside, flesh outside. Despite looking techno-organic, they are more robotic and energon are their main source of energy and freshwater as secondary. Their main alt modes are animals, not vehicles or machines. This is based more on RotB movie.

Terratronia a.k.a Terrans (Terrans are a general term for Earth creatures so this term is to not confuse the group with everyone else):

Flesh inside, metal outside. They are more organic despite having more metallic bodies. Their energy source is freshwater meanwhile energon acts like mere energy bars to them. They have the privilage to choose their alt mode and if they want one at all.

If anyone is interested me and my friends ewcently made our own 17+ TF server!

It has a section dedicated to Ocs, Selling art, and is easy to navigate!

You're the first person I've come across who opened the for to these kinds of conversations, so might I propose that liquid energon is considered only for military, medical, or neonatal purposes on the colonies.

As you and many, many others have theorized, before the Quintassons and before the Thirteen began to die off, Cyberton most likely had an incredible complex biosphere that would make even our most diverse and most extreme seem bland. There would've been several generations who would've learned how to cultivate and forage and hunt on the surface and in the highest caverns and tunnels.

So assuming the Titans who became colonies took "pieces" of Cyberton when they left, they likely ended up preserving whole swathes of nature without actually intending to. Modern day Velocitrons and Camiens would thrive off "leave no footstep" culture as they hunt and move.

How horrific would the state of Cybertronians be to the colony denizens? Mechs who claim civility and order yet seem to lack any and all ability to actually feed themselves. What they will eat, they waste massive quantities, and they seem to be deeply suspicious of someone taking or sabotaging what little they can keep.

I think this could go a lotta ways.

Ohhh, I love worldbuilding like this. It just makes more sense to really delve into the differences between Cybertron and the Lost Colonies, besides "they got girls and no war lol."

Each of the Titan cities has a unique culture and cast, so it's a shame that it all got dropped or it didn't really tie neatly as it could had, so-

I'm going to make it make sense, even if I need to get the blender on canon lore to make a soup!

I did talk about some cultural differences and clashes between the Lost Colonies either through posts ('Caminus' and 'Titans' tags) or in the tags, and I had talked about how liquid Energon may have been playing a role of starvation rations. (Ehhh in TFP since they seem to be on a pure liquid diet, but it can be included in IDW/MTMTE).

But yeah, I can definitely see liquid Energon being used for medical, military, and neonatal usage. It would be interesting to explore differences and similarities in processing, storage, supplements, approach in distribution, and any associated folklore about it (i.e., Eukarians' farm-to-table fuel as it suits their beast-modes versus Velocitron and its pride over solar-derived Energon allowing them to delve into racing and research versus Caminus' recycling culture to mimick the Forge).

Funnily enough, the ones that develop the "Leave No Footsteps" as a whole would be the Eukarians as Chela left the planet's indigenous fauna relatively intact for beast-modes to be truly free. The tribes of Eukaris seem to mimic very early forms of civilizations along with hunter-gatherers. They're not ashamed to utilize the full scope of their alt-enhanced perception. Similar to how they adapted to their new home, the indigenous fauna adapted as well. Frightenly well to other Cybertronian perspectives; the Eukarians as a whole would be more familiar with different kinds of relationships with plants and animals, both the wild creatures and domesticated stocks. It would be interesting if the tribes managed to develop unique agricultural/livestock methods from each other (i.e., Fur Walkers are focused on ranching and semi-nodamic for their stocks versus Wave Walkers' aquaculture and mutual relationships with aquatic hunters or consumers to hunt and forage). Personally, I think the Eukarians would be the closest to understanding Earth's chaotic biomes and fauna. (Most definitely tensions with Cybertron via its Functionist society that Chela took his people to escape and the policies of organophobia, terra-forming, and stigma/discrimination against beast-modes and the nature.)

Velocitron came from scientists searching for fuel alternatives. Like, what if they tapped into the powerful solar rays that plagued the half the planet? In some ways, then modern Velocitron is a victim of its own success as the strong fuel basically led to too much excess energy and hyperfocus to point of ignoring all else, combined with their search for more fuel efficiency and race against the scorching suns, it's no surprise why racing became so dominant to the point Navitas was severely neglected. A meritocracy drenched heavy elitism as they're a highly educated group with a deep disdain for any frames deemed "too slow" or "too clunky."" They managed to figure out their own fuel issues. How the hell Cybertron with all of its resources to throw into their civil war couldn't? (On a side note, it would be absolutely hilarious and in-character if they snubbed Optimus and Megatron since they're not racers and weren't formally educated by Velocitron standards.)

Camiens, unlike many of the other Cybertronians, would actually forge mutual and positive ties with their organic neighbors via mercenary, exploration, and trade as Caminus deeply values social ties and community to the point that Cybertronians not raised in their city-state can be uncomfortable on how 'open' Camiens intermingle with one another as field byplay is a very used communication method. Caminus is situated in a planetary system that has immense raw resources but lacks the infrastructure that would have enticed the Galactic Alliance to add the space, and many are wary of the Quintesson's empire as they typically strip everything from planets via legal contracts or economic force. The work provided by offworlders allows the city-state to supplement their diet. They're a passionate and creative people, and it's seen on their takes on stretching out food as they blend whatever available to consume. So Depression meals, rural cooking, and recipes that channels 'End of Month' Food Challenge. (Most definitely have tensions with Cybertron as Camiens are appalled how distant and cold each mecha carries themselves in a strange self-imposed isolation as well as the sheer waste of fuel that happens, organophobia, and Functionist teachings as Camiens typically collect multiple skills and careers since everyone works.)

since i cant find ANYTHING about Velocitron im coming up with my own fucking facts and lore thank you very much

[ask-one-d16]

Do you know any other planets than yours?🤔

We’re aware of Earth, of course.

We also have a sister planet called Velocitron. Their races inspired us to host our own, most notably the Iacon 5,000.

[ask-sg-optimus-prime]

what is your opinion on other colonies and would you want to rule over them with your intimidating presence lord Optimus prime?

Cybertron’s sister colonies of Velocitron and Junkion do belong to me.

They just don’t know it yet.

Windblade: "Care for another round, madame president?"

Override: "Probably not, City Speaker. I think you've proven the point of air superiority. "

[dragonsgirl572]

I know there was a war on Cybertron, but was there on on Velocitron?

[pocoslip]

I'm glad Brakedown never got the Exact Same Name of the Stunticon from Transformers G1

(Remember Brakedown from the Transformers Cybertron Anime???? probably not)
