It's kinda sad that starscream is having a better time with the autobots- the enemy he's supposed to be fighting against, than he ever did with the decepticons

Well, I wouldn’t say his time with the Decepticons was ALL bad. In fact, while staying with the Autobots, some familiar faces may turn up at the Autobot base now that Starscream is hanging out there!

For a lot of people, the war has essentially been over for nearly three years (due to both Optimus and Megatron being out of the picture). Now that Megatron is back, not everyone wants to go back to war, and some of the Decepticons that had been hiding out on Earth are starting to reach out for help. I think with Starscream staying with the Autobots, he'd become a sort of liaison between ex-Decepticons and Autobots. This isnt to say they're all living at Autobot base now, some of them might, while others like Swindle are out doing their own thing and only showing up to trade or whatever else.

A bit annoying to Starscream considering they wouldnt follow him when he was technically leader of the Decepticons, but we take what we can get.

I was thinking about this but Beast formers could be a potentially interesting concept to explore in a One sequel

Because Obviously they exist, Trion turns into a robotic lion and Onyx's presence implies there's more of them, question is where are they?

I would suspect the reason they are not present in the film is because either Sentinel and the Quintessons drove them to near extinction or perhaps Sentinel sold them to the Quintessons as slaves (which could explain where the Sharkticons come from)

Or perhaps instead in an extension of Sentinel's caste system (and taking a cue from idw), the beast formers are the lowest of the low, treated literally like animals and forced out of society

In any case, it would be neat to see a sequel introduce surviving beast tribes comprised of the classic G1 beast formers, y'know, the mini-cassettes, Dinobots, Insecticons, Predacons, Terrorcons, Seacons, the Decepticon Headmasters (who were all beast formers), Horrorcons, Firecons, the Monsterbots, etc, and explore why they chose the side they did (more specifically why so many of them chose the Decepticons), and in the Dinobots' case, maybe have them initially join the Decepticons only to switch sides for the Autobots

Dear Vector Prime,

How did Gnaw and Cindersaur become members of the Predacons and Terrorcons, respectively?

Dear Legends Leftover,

In the case of the former, it was more by accident than anything. Gnaw had been the leader of a team of Sharkticons sent into the depths of Cybertron to pull the large switch controlling the Exponential Null Generator. When that plan went awry, he ended up following Galvatron to the surface, and from there to Chaar, without being noticed.

When Galvatron finally stumbled across Gnaw (chewing on the base of his makeshift throne), the Decepticon leader threw him to the Predacons—declaring that since they were both spawn of the Quintessons, they should get along fine.

Razorclaw knew better than to argue with Galvatron when he was in one of his moods, and reluctantly accepted the Sharkticon. When the Predacons went on their hunts, they would toss the scraps to Gnaw, keeping him around as a living waste disposal machine.

Cindersaur, by contrast, was deliberately headhunted. Hun-Gurr had been keeping his watchful eyes on the Combiner Wars, and had seen the other combiner teams picking up new members to replace fallen ones or to increase their number. The Terrorcons' rivals, the Technobots, had acquired two new members even, which stirred envy in the Terrorcon leader. Still, Hun-Gurr was not about to recruit just anyone to join his squad; he wanted an outcast—someone whose loyalty would lie with him over any other Decepticon. He found the perfect bot with Cindersaur. The Firecons had recently broken up, and Cindersaur had found themself lost without their teammates... literally. They had gone on a rampage, ending up completely disoriented in Chaar’s wilderness. Their usual means of retracing their steps, by blazing a trail behind them, had completely failed them in a landscape where everything was already burned and blackened, and they'd been wandering in circles for months.

Hun-Gurr tracked them down, and offered Cindersaur a place in the Terrorcons. He had a quick recruitment form for Cindersaur to incinerate, and that was that! The other Terrorcons were hesitant at first, but they soon came around, after realizing that the smell of smoldering metal helped mask Blot’s stench.

That they can set your underwear on fire is a bonus

Look at this little Guiron (from gamera) I have. They used to make a lot of sparking toys like this.

Gimme a 379 chef

You chose 379

379 corresponds to Sparkstalker

Sparkstalker first appears in The Transformers UK issues #152-153

Sparkstalker is a Decepticon Firecon. He functions as a Cryptologist. He's good at hacking and other criminal activity. He's bad at breathing fire, which he can do, but not well.

His motto is "The smallest details reveal the largest secrets."

Thunder and Shadow

Summary: Five years after Ultima’s defeat, those left behind have no choice but to push onward in a world still on the precipice of ruin. Left with all that remains of Clive—her twin boys—both Jill and Joshua do all that can be to ensure the world they grow up in is one of less strife and struggle than what came before. But the destruction of the crystals and the god that created them has left the aether and eikons in a state of chaotic distress that plagues the entirety of Valisthea. And now, to have received a letter from the north about stone bearers coming back to life, Jill has a new mystery to unfold.

At the same time, Clive finds himself waking on what he thinks must be the eastern Rosarian coast, though how he arrived there, he doesn’t know. Nor has he any idea how much time has passed since that final fight with Ultima. But as he begins to investigate, he sees a battle of eikonic proportions in the distance, one that revives old, bitter memories. Ifrit, perhaps, can make up for wrongs wrought so long ago.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, a shadow manipulates them all, his eyes set on those who would become dominants and tools both.

Chapter 2

Per Great Uncle Byron's directions, they were taking a break for lunch. They'd found a nice bit of Rosarian countryside, where only a few monsters had skulked around until the shields had scared them off. Perfect for a meal and some "downtime."

Humming to himself, Clive ever so delicately fingered the petals of what Sir Patrick had told him were "Firecone flowers." They had black, bulbus middles and bright red petals that drooped down around them. Not wanting to disrupt the natural order or pick the flowers so they'd die, Clive stayed crouched in the tall grass and continued with his simple tune.

A few yards further down the hill, Onyx was pecking at the dirt, Clive smiling every time he happened to catch the big black bird out of the corners of his eyes. He knew Onyx hadn't meant to step on him before, so he hadn't held anything against him.

Some to the left, Elwin had drawn his wooden practice sword and was swinging at the weeds, shouting out a well-timed "hiya!" or "take that you plum-bellied geezard!" every time he sent some leaves splashing down around the ground. He tripped and fell once, only to pop back up and claim that "he wouldn't be caught unawares again!"

Just to Clive's left, Torgal lay panting in the grass, eyes drooping lazily as he stared out across the bank.

"Oh no," Clive murmured quietly to himself upon finding a firecone that had somehow been severed from its base. Recently, by the look of it, as it seemed very much alive aside from being picked.

Twirling the flower around between his fingers, he kept humming as he flopped to the side, landing with his head in Torgal's fur. Holding the flower up above his head, he managed to block out the sun, which was already saturated by clouds. One eye closing, he stared at the shadowed silhouette, as it looked much bigger held up before the sun than it actually was, and wondered what it was like to be a dominant.

He wondered about such things a lot. His father had been Ifrit, his mother was Shiva. Uncle Joshua was the phoenix. Even Elwin…

He was the only one that wasn't. He didn't quite get it either. Uncle Joshua had said something once, about how it was in their blood, being dominants. That it was why Elwin could be one even when other people couldn't. That their family had always passed down the powers of the phoenix, and now they had Shiva too. And Ifrit.

Sometimes, it made Clive… really mad, being left out. Uncle Joshua said that the duchy used to only have the phoenix, and that the people from the north—where his mother was from—always had Shiva. But a second eikon of fire—his father—had been new, just like a second eikon of thunder—his brother—was also new.

Well, Elwin wasn't the "second" eikon of thunder. Uncle Joshua had said he was… "remade," after the fight with Ultima. But Clive didn't know anything about that.

All he did know was that if new eikons, or remade ones, could happen, then why couldn't he be one too?

His mother said that it was good he wasn't a dominant��that being one wasn't very nice all the time, and that it was a heavy burden to bear.

Clive didn't know much about all that either. But even if it was true, it still didn't feel very fair. Everyone in his family were dominants, but he'd never even seen an eikon before.

Even Torgal had powers…

Tune taking a downturn in tone, Clive allowed his flower to drop upon his face. One of the petals fell loose and attempted to sneak in between his lips, so he blew it away.

"Pup?"

Turning toward his brother, Clive brushed the rest of the flower from his face, while Torgal halted in his panting and turned Elwin's way as well.

Elwin, who had desisted murdering weeds, wooden sword going limp at his side. Standing straight, he was staring down the bank behind Clive, mouth hanging just slightly open, head cocked in a curious manner.

"What?" Clive asked as he sat up. But Elwin didn't reply, only kept staring.

Behind Clive, Torgal got to his feet and, tail held aloft and alert, faced the same direction as Elwin. Together, they stared, even as Clive glanced between them.

"What's wrong?" Clive asked when the silence had gone on a little too long.

Eyebrows furrowing until a crease appeared, Elwin finally said, "I don't know. I… feel something."

By • Olalekan Fagbade Two personnel killed as suspected armed Men open firecon  kill two Security operatives     Suspected smugglers have reportedly killed two officers of the Nigeria Customs Service attached to the Kebbi State Command. The smugglers opened fire on Kabiru Shehu Abdullahi and Abdullahi Mohammed by 1. a.m. when they were checking the car booth of the smugglers while on information Patrol between Bunza- Dakin Gari-Koko road. The Comptroller of the Command, Dr Ben Oramalugo, said: “There was proliferation of hard drug when I resumed at the Command and I started fighting them, making seizures, and making arrests. There are rich men into this and they are not happy with me. There is a route they used to pass and I sent my men there. “In this particular incident, my men saw a vehicle suspected to be conveying drugs, and the officers ordered them to open their booth and they opened fire on them while they were checking. My men were taken unaware. “They ran away before we could mobilise. That’s the hazard of the job. I am trying to boost the moral of our men, and compensate the families of the deceased. “We will continue to seize illegal goods, and make arrests. We need help in prosecution so that suspects are not released back to the streets. Dr. Oramalugo said the officers will continue to carry out the Nigeria Customs Service’s core mandates of suppression of smuggling, facilitation of trade, security, revenue generation and enhancement of civil customs civil relationship to the host communities. #Armedmen #killed #operatives #Personnel

[askvectorprime]

are there any cryptid tfs?

Dear Canny Cryptozoologist,

It just so happens that the Ancient Decepticons of Earth, who took the guise of legendary "monsters" on your world, included a number who'd taken the form of what you call cryptids. Such examples include Diabla, who inspired the legend of the jersey devil, Heavytread, Abominus, and Stinkbomb, a trio that posed as the sasquatch, yeti, and skunk ape respectively, Botanica, who menaced the Flatwoods area, and Wingthing, who became feared as an omen of disaster in the west of Virginia.

Still others include Cindersaur, Flamefeather, and Sparkstalker, who inspired the so-called "prehistoric beasts" known as Burrunjor, Ropen, and Snallygaster, and Rhomboptronix, who considered Loch Ness to be her domain.

Burn down the house with these three flame spitting bots!

After being teased a few weeks ago through their appearance on the Dampening Field Battle Card, an article published today by gaming blog Kotaku has confirmed that the three Firecon warriors Sparkstalker, Flamefeather, and Cindersaur will all be Character Cards in Wave 3 of the Transformers Trading Card Game!

#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Featuring all new card art from longtime Transformers artist Marcelo Matere, the three Firecons all have special effects activated by flipping to their beast modes, plus robot mode abilities that are triggered by drawing Orange pipped Battle Cards! The article clearly lays out that the Firecons will not be making an appearance in the War for Cybertron: Siege toyline, however. We can only hope that this rare appearance from the late G1 trio might renew interest in them!

You can find Kotaku’s full reveal of the Firecons here! And if you’re as excited to see and play with these boys as we are, you can share you’re enthusiasm on the Allspark Facebook page, Forums, or Discord server!
