Is Trypticon connected to Onyx Prime? Onyx has the Tryptich Mask, and Trypticon's name comes from Tryptich, he's also one of the more animalian Titans, and the Tripredacus Council from Beast Wars are also known as the Trypticon Council!

Dear Titanically Twisted,

You know your mythology better than some of my own kind, it seems! When the Constructicons secretly rebuilt one of your Earth cities into the fearsome Decepticon, so far as they were concerned, he was named “Trypticon” for his three modes: city, mobile battle station, and dinosaur. But this name was written into legend; indexed deep within their memory banks, to be proffered through subconscious recall. It’s perhaps best to think of Trypticon as a reincarnation—not unlike the Constructicons themselves.

There are conflicting accounts of that primeval era—and I was there for most of them, naturally. It was believed that the beast was older even than my brethren, closer to the Trans-Organics than the Transformers; it was indeed Onyx who succeeded in taming him, and gave him his name. The old stories speak of a fearsome warrior amongst Onyx’s pack, a three-headed dragon, whose valor was the measure of mechs thrice his size.

In those myths that describe Trypticon’s creation at my brothers’ hands, it was Mortilus, not Onyx, who sired the living crypt. But Mortilus did not have a possessive temperament; he gladly shared Trypticon with Onyx, the Void Scepter with our fallen brother, and Death with all the universe.

I'm in a college band class. I am struggling to find sheet music of rvb songs for a symphonic band (brass, woodwind, percussion, no strings, no piano). If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Before New Years if possible. Here are the songs I'd like to be able to find: Contact*, Can't Trust Anybody Now, Mental Meta Metal*, Red vs Blue (s8 finale), On Your Knees, Blood Gulch Blues*, Fragments, Soul Clef XI*, Now That We've Come So Far, Warthog Music*. Ones with * are ones that I really want.

i would have absolutely no idea how to find this or make this BUT if any of my followers know!

what is Wildfire's semblance? My only idea is maybe absorbing sources of heat like fire to fuel their own aura as well as the aura of others.

I love that Idea, and a name popped in my head for it immediately;

Cauterize

The other biggest idea I had was;

Stirling

Effectively this is the opposite of Cauterize - Being empowered by Fire and Heat like Nora is - Fire acting as Jaune's Semblance Amping ability.

It's gonna be hard to choose between the two, given the kind of person that Wildfire is.

Other less interesting ideas I had were

Infusing Dust into their aura to it's full potential and efficiency

Thermal Kinesis - being able to manipulate heat around them instead of just producing it, such as drawing the heat out of a fluid and pushing it into an object

Heat Haze - Being able to "teleport" Between large enough sources of Fire

I do really like the Idea of Wildfire sitting by a campfire to heal and recover like in Dark Souls

But I also really like the idea if them injecting themself with Fire Dust to get that last boost they need to win a fight

After all, Wildfire is a Survivalist - being able to Recover is a necessity for survival, but so is being able to push yourself a little too hard to live until tomorrow.

concept: Mythic skins as alternate universes (like Starwatch and Mirrorwatch). Any ideas? I'll start.

Zeus Junker Queen: after Mason Howl kicked her out, she ventured off to faraway lands, eventually ending up in Greece. At the bottom of a well she fell into in Ilios, she found a simplistic looking yet powerful weapon, one that let her command the weather, especially lightning. Wielding this weapon, she soon became a hero for Greece.

A-7000 Wargod Ana: Ramattra won. And when he did, he captured all of the best fighters to fashion new soldiers off of. Ana was an especially useful one, using her as a basis for his Wargod types. (Look at the art made by arteriop, they have so many good ones)

Grand Beast Orisa: in a wild world, the Grand Beast was a giant monster, feared by all. Armed with powerful weapons, this big bug, this humongous arachnid, this colossal crustacean is the apex predator.

Anubis Reaper: the rogue God Program had finally done what he could only dream of: possessing a human body. Even if it was one as mangled as Gabriel Reyes, those alterations were what made it possible. Now, no one could harm or contain him. With a body made of sand, powerful weapons, and access to all information across the globe, the God of Death walks among the living.

Spellbinder Widowmaker: rather than being a ballerina, when Gèrard became a top agent in Overwatch, Amelia wanted to help too. She began studying under Mina, Angela, Torbjörn, Imgrid, and even Moira. She started crafting her own weapons, inspired by the fantasy books she read as a child. She soon became a new agent for Overwatch: Spellbinder. Combined with her performance in showmanship, she quickly became popular.

This is a FASCINATING idea. I think it's already somewhat implied with the A-7000 Wargod Ana skin that these are intended to be alternate universes, but actually considering the stories behind them are really fun. I could think of several different AUs/canon-divergent stories based on them... mostly based on how much they actually should follow the current Overwatch universe.

These skins are so interesting because there's clearly more thought and conceptualisation put into them than the regular skins. I'd really love to see your takes on the Moira and Zenyatta mythics- what kind of AUs would you come up for based on those?

[hyperfixation-hideout]

Oscar semblance idea: Aura Linking. Think like this, let's say Ren's aura is 200 HP, Oscar's is 200, Nora's is 300, and Jaune's is 700. When Oscar is near them, we'll say within the same visible area, each of them will have 1400 HP. This would help reinforce the fact that they should be within the same area because this boy needs to stop getting kidnapped or disappearing. Perhaps he could use this to selectively gain a boost from enemy aura, like Cinder has 200 HP so Oscar gets 400 HP. Thoughts?

Hmm, interesting! I do like the extra initiative for the group to stay near to Oscar lmao, but I'd hope caring about him/fear of losing him again would be reason enough to watch his back :P

The two hesitations I have about this are

It's very similar to Jaune's semblance, as both involve buffing others' aura

It introduces a complex specificity to aura that I feel could complicate things unnecessarily. Sometimes magic systems benefit from being a bit more vague and less scientific/mathematical, as getting bogged down in numbers and logistics can be limiting or time-consuming.

Then again, we have seen aura bars on scrolls and scoreboards, and I feel like I remember percentages being brought up during the tournament? So there's definitely a precedent for the possibility of such a semblance... again, I could even see this already being a function of Jaune's semblance we simply don't know about yet.

But the gaining a boost from enemy aura is fascinating... it would tie in with how Oscar treats allies and adversaries alike as individuals capable of change and growth. I'd probably pick a semblance that leans more into defining traits like that, or his resilience, insightfulness, realism, etc, etc

Thanks for sharing the idea!!! I love hearing them :D

[inprogresspokemon]

So now that the Fire Starter Pokémon Zodiac theory is, unfortunately, breaking thanks to Fuecoco, is there any pattern you thunk could replace it?

It's not the funnest answer, but I think there's probably not an intentional pattern with the starters.

You could try to connect Fuecoco to the Zodiac theory by way of male crocodiles being called bulls, but so are a lot of other animals, so I don't think it's good justification.

I don't personally have a different pattern theory for them, but I think the pattern theories are fun, and if anyone has another pattern for the Fire Starters, please share!

[kingofthewilderwest]

Thoughts on the (so far) 4 new species from HTTYD Journey? The Phoenix one should be Stoker not Strike, I like the butterfly and mushroom ones, and the blue one is okay

Haven't had time to look yet - and I'll give folks the warning, I probably won't be able to look for a while. WILD next couple of months for me -- sorrrryyy!

Just wanted to let you know rather than sit in radio silence, like I have the bad tendency to!

Beacon era Emerald and Mercury fusion for anonymously20-blog. I tried tagging you, but you don’t appear to exist?? I love Tumblr

Emercury is in love with themself but is very tsundere about it. The combination of Emerald being touch starved and Mercury being an admitted pervert results in… well in this lol

Specific fusion you wanna see? [Buy Me A Ko-Fi]

OMG I WANT YOUR RWBY DESIGNS TO BE CANONNNNNNNNNN

Also, neat Starr semblance idea. Better than my idea of an aura band she places on herself or others to improve memory, whoops. I know you said she's unlicensed, but teammates would still be neat! I came up with the ideas of Thari Bajie, a pig-eared faunus who can become lighter than air, Arsi Wujing, a big guy who basically becomes a big Marvel Sandman type golem, and Rionnag Longma, who's semblance lets him turn into a big horse, as Team STAR.

ALSO also, any semblance ideas for Theodore? My idea is Wayfinder, which would let him find the way towards wherever or to who/whatever he needs to go to in the form of a glowing yellow path, a literal yellow brick road semblance.

Oh my gosh! Thank you! That's extremely sweet of you to say ❤️🤭✨ I can only wish to be half as good as the character designers working as part of CRWBY, but still the sentiment is very sweet!!

No! I think that's a great semblance idea! It's like the reverse of Yatsuhashi's and could prove useful to our hero's if it was canon. I also like your ideas for the rest of the JTTW pilgrims and their possible semblances! Especially Wujing's—I'm a big fan of Spider-Man, and I've always had a soft spot for Sandman from his rouge's gallery.

As for Theodore, I have thought about it a little, but haven't come up with one I really like or am set on as a personal hc/theory. Possibly something similar to Raven's 'Kindred Link's, but where he taps his gloves together a set number of times and it opens a portal to places he associates with 'home/safety' like his office at Shade, for instance. Idk what I'd call it; 'No Place Like Home's is a little too on the nose, y'know?

That or something to do with maximizing the power of his punches, or that his semblance causes his opponents to spin when hit, mimicking a tornado or something—like I said, still working shopping 🤭✨

Love love love the idea of 'Wayfinder' though! 😍 That would be a truly handy Semblance to have. Plus, it fits in w/ his story allusion to Dorothy twice! Not only is there the yellow brick road aspect, but to be directed to some place or someone known to him could also play into the ending of Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy clicks her silver/ruby slippers together and says 'There's no place like home!'—which is kinda what this Semblance hc does!! Very neat! ✨✨

Does the master list update every time you make one, and does it include all your quirky marriages?

So I was checking the quirk marriage chart and I’m wondering if certain quirks are eligible for future quirk marriages like infrared, forced quirk activation, iron claw, snip clip, binging balls, etc

So the Quirk Marriage master list does contain all the Quirk Marriages I have done. Granted, some of them are from before I started limiting what kind of Quirks I used and I won't cover those Quirks any more, like the ones you mentioned. Still, I made them, and they deserved to be archived. The list is still updated with the Quirk Marriages I have made. It's being maintained by the one the person who made it, @anonymously20-blog. Someone who I will forever appreciate and honor whenever I get the chance for the amazing work they put into the list. I am so thankful for their effort on this.

I just got on my lunch break, can't a girl have five minutes /j

But seriously I am SO EXCITED for this!! Cause there is so much you could do with the backstory of her being connected to Mei, especially if she's a villain. I'm also curious if they changed her design from what we've seen since she looks a bit different in that pictures with Mei, could just be me though.

Dear Vector Prime, are there any Transformers who are paralyzed from the waist down and permanently use a wheelchair or other form of mobile seating? How does this factor into their vehicle mode? I wanted to ask because one of my classmates has this disability, and certain businesses aren't accustomed to someone who cannot walk (though fortunately our school has such capabilities for such people)

Dear Ambulation Alerting,

Yes, our kind understands how it is to live with these kinds of conditions. You are not alone, in this regard. Though a Cybertronian may have limited physical mobility for many different reasons, injuries sustained during our eons-long war are to blame for the vast majority of cases of paralysis suffered by our kind. Where circuit-surgery has been unable to restore motion, we have developed and employed all kinds of mobility aids, using wheels, treads, or hover-technology. I know that over the course of Shockwave’s lengthy guardianship of Cybertron, many of his soldiers came to suffer debilitating wounds at the hands of the Autobot resistance; rather than retire or recycle these soldiers, he would employ them as guards, seated in tank-like chairs to patrol the halls of his vast fortress.

Truly, it can happen to anyone. I have recollection of a timeline where Optimus Prime himself took a fusion cannon blast to the waist while protecting Chip Chase, and his backstrut was damaged beyond repair. Inspired by Chip’s wheelchair, he had Ratchet and Hoist refashion his trailer with a new secondary mode, allowing it to change into a wheelchair while he was in robot form.

I think it’s also worth mentioning that many Cybertronians do not have a bipedal configuration in the first place; some of us have wheels which we use to get around even in our primary forms. The most prominent example you will likely know of is probably Rattrap—when he was reformatted into a fully techno-organic body, his legs were replaced with wheels. Having already grown accustomed to using his Transmetal “Knievel mode”, the heroic Maximal didn’t find it too difficult to adapt to this change… which was more than could be said for his lack of weapons in this new form!

Fortunately, Cybertron is a planet where rolling is as natural to us as walking. Even the planet itself has evolved to accommodate this, with staircases being able to convert into ramps and back again. Such is the nature of a world which is constantly transforming.

What do you think human-Sangheili hybrids like Junior actually look like?

honestly i go back and forth in fanworks between wanting to have junior be like actually half human half sangheili or just having him be full sangheili and tucker was just like. uh. well for lack of a better term like. the incubator… to answer your question though uh. i think in canon he’s probably just a sangheili BUT it is interesting to think about. like. i’m season 13 they DO use the sangheili language so like there is some reference to sangheili there but for the most part they just call them “aliens” without being specific and very clearly juniors birth is very different from how sangheili ACTUALLY reproduce so they could just be a completely different species WHICH MEANS it’s possible that like. the “armor” that junior is born with is actually like a carapace of some kind? i mean obviously machinima limitations of the medium but it’s interesting to think about for fanworks i think. he’s bugs… it matches with the kind of parasitic embryo thing i feel like that’s more a bugs thing than a reptiles thing... don’t fact-check me on that im just vibing here.

BUT in terms of what an actual half human/half sangheili child would look like. we actually have some old drawings of our design for him? NO idea if it makes any sort of biological sense it was purely based on what seemed cool. like i said were vibing. actually hang on.

had our old sketchbook on hand to snap some pictures lol. man we used to draw a lot. anyway. you got me fucking rambling here i have so much to say about what the potential alien species could be like in rvb like there’s sooo much fun you could do with it

Hey just wondering, what are the weapons and semblances of Eren, Dawne, Cadmine, and Zhe?

Eren

Weapon(s) - Longbow, can use Dust to enhance arrows, Seax Style shortsword. Currently Unnamed.

Semblance - EndoThermic Dynamo: Absorbs thermal energy from her surroundings, rapidly lowering the surrounding temperature, and increasing her physical strength relative to the amount of heat absorbed.

Dawne

Weapon(s) - Longsword/DMR with selective fire, usually set to Fully automatic or burst. I am torn between its name being "Horizon Line" and "Salvador Morado"

Semblance - Ego Boost: The more attention and adoration he receives improves his Aura's durability and Combat prowess.

Cadmine:

Weapon(s) - a Scutum Shield and a Falx/pistol. The Falx/pistol is named "Actus" and the shield is "Neglectus."

Semblance - Warp: Not Warp as in teleport, but warp as in to Bend and Distort; Physics becomes unstable in Cadmine's wake. Gravity changes, temperature rises and falls randomly, etc. depending on how hard she uses her semblance. She has some control over what happens and how much it happens. But not a lot.

She's like a Wild Magic Barbarian.

Zhe

Weapon(s) - You know those Cannons the bad guy from Kung-fu Panda 2 Has? he has one of those but it's a Rocket Launcher/recoilless rifle platform. And he has a Meteor Hammer that he sometimes load into his RPG. Both are Unnamed.

Semblance - Embrittle: The target Suffers from severely weakened Aura and Physical resilience. like they have Osteoporosis and stuff.

Role Requeue: Reinhardt

Part 2: Rise of Turret-hardt

(So glad I get use that again.) Now, before we get to his move set, let’s go over some suggestions and questions about Turret-hardt.

Absolute Unit

The most frequent suggestion I got was not making Reinhardt a sentry. @anonymously20-blog recommended that Reinhardt merely lose his limbs, and have them be replaced. They also recommended that Torbjorn make the new body similar to the crusader armor. Both of these answers defeat the whole point of killing Reinhardt. He would still be the size of a tank with either of those suggestions. He needs an entirely new body shape to fit another role.

I myself considered cutting Reinhardt in half and putting him in a futuristic wheelchair. But then I realized the true problem with Reinhardt’s size. He’s not too tall. He’s too wide. Even at half his size he would be too wide.

And it’s not his armor that’s the problem. It’s his natural size. We’ve all seen the Honor and Glory cinematic. Reinhardt perfectly fills out his massive armor. So his body just has to go.

Reinhardt’s jarring size requires a jarring solution: a entirely new body.

Head in the Game

@purplekoop recommended that Reinhardt just be too injured to continue the fight, and having a procedure would be too risky for him or his friends.

I don't see that happening. Reinhardt will let nothing stop him from joining the fight, even when he really should not join in the fight. That's why I considered wheelchair Reinhardt. Reinhardt would absolutely go through a dangerous procedure for a chance to continue the fight. Also, I don't know how a procedure can be dangerous for others.

However, you are right that having Reinhardt possess the turret is not the best idea. It flies in the face of Overwatch's themes and lore. If Torbjorn can just "hard work pays off" Reinhardt's soul into a turret, then why can't that happen for characters like Gerard? We need a different solution. I don't want a neural network like Echo. As then it would not be Reinhardt. It would instead be technically a new character. You wouldn't call Echo "just Mina Liao". No, she is her own person.

However, after a bit of brainstorming, I created a solution that allows Reinhardt to be in a new body, still be Reinhardt, and not conflict too much with the lore.

Reinhardt did not die after Operation Whitedome, but he was close. He was barely holding on. His body could not be recovered. Torbjorn went right to work after his own recovery. Through the research of Ziegler, Liao, and even O'Deorain, Torbjorn was able to preserve Reinhardt's brain and insert it into a turret. Reinhardt now lives on through the turret, through a slightly more reasonable way.

Much like how Koop suggested, Reinhardt is linked in with the turret. He can control it with his mind, because it is literally his body.

Appearance

Now, the main reason why its best if Reinhardt's body is a turret is because it creates a clear connection to Torbjorn. If Reinhardt was just some random human-esque machine then you could think that anyone could have built him. But if it's a turret shape, then you instantly know it was Torbjorn.

Now, originally I wanted to just put Reinhardt in one of these special push turrets:

But now I have a slightly different idea. Instead of having some random black block, Reinhardt should have a hammer on the end.

No matter what, I do believe that Turret-hardt should have Crusader Armor plating. It would help match him to his old aesthetics. The hammer should also obviously be similar to his current hammer.

Moveset

His primary fire would be a simple Swing. It would have less range than his normal hammer swing. You can charge a swing to give it more knockback and damage. I decided to to add this charge mechanic because it sounds new and fun. But also because it adds some depth and skill expression than just mindlessly swinging. Mindlessly swinging would also just not be effective in this.

His secondary fire would be Fire Blast. It's similar to fire strike, except that it actually has ammo, and can be fired much more frequently. The shots still pierce, but they do less damage. The come out from little cannons on the side of the turret.

His first ability is Sweep. Reinhardt stands firm and spins around, knocking all enemies back.

His second ability is Dash. Using a vent on his back, Reinhardt dashes forward (akin to a Hanzo lunge, but longer). If you charge a swing beforehand, you can store the charge and carry it with you. You can even release the swing to hit an opponent mid-air!

His ultimate is Earthquake. Reinhardt slams the ground with his hammer. Sending a circular shockwave around him that stuns all enemy players. It's based off that skill shown in one of the initial Overwatch 2 trailers.

Also, much like Torbjorn and Bastion, Reinhardt will have a small amount of armor.

Conclusion

Overall, I like the idea. No matter how good it actually is. And, nonetheless, I will be stealing the idea for my Overwatch ripoff.

I tried my best to preserve the playstyle of rushing in and going ham. I gave what could be the most feasible reason for Reinhardt being smaller. I elaborated on ideas that weren't thought out too well. I'd say Reinhardt is done.

But then I'd be lying. The complexity of this requeue is a source for confusion and new ideas. I am certain that there has been something I've missed as well. And I'm subsequently certain that "that something" will only occur to me after part 2 is released. So, part 3 is not a question of if, but when. Feel free to give any suggestions or questions.

Next, I will focus on a new... matter of perspective. Hahahahaha
