#like tyrest was so interesting in EOM to me and i just feel like he's an underrated character in the fandom

I also love red-and-white Megatron with red optics. I figured he got rebuilt post the final fight before this and looks more like a mix of baby Megs and MTMTE version with more compartments he's had added to help with medical work and decided since he has so much space might as well basically become a walking operating theater. He isn't quite the same size but still did go up in size pre-almost war and felt no need to slim down just repurpose his mass.

Figure most of the gray is now white and red portions are bright medical red. Also some red bracing on the arms which are compartments for storage. The dark gray remains that color. Not sure if the black should stay black or also be red.

The squiggles are only red medic symbol outlines while in training with blue markings on the shoulders indicating the hospital he is training at and his mentor. When full status is achieved red chest symbols filled out and blue marking removed.

Hands painted red, and he upgrades them because he has now qualms about frame upgrades. I am thinking a sane Tyrest is commissioned as part of slimy Zeta connecting people. Megatron is wary, but Starscream convinces him that if it is a setup, Starscream has now compunction "biting the servo that fed them" and Megatron should take the "damn upgrade". Tyrest thinks it is a challenge of his engineering skills and Megatron actually gets a good impression of him. He's old, very old and they discuss philosophy and history and the rise of the Functionalists and then he talks politics with Starscream. Minimus who is there, is a little heart eyed.

Yeppppp

Makes sense makes sense!

Ah yes of course more pockets— a need!

Okay but that's fucking hilarious that he can just pull whatever out of where-ever and it's mostly medical supplies. Useful definitely definitely but also it means he can somewhat literally pull a scalpel out of his ass if need be

oh he sounds so pretty, I waffled on answering this yesterday but it was too late in the sleep cycle for that

Hmmmnnnn I'm also liable to suggest we lighten the black up to the same as that light gray? (In my photo edited sketch, I followed the first EOM explanation and changed the black to red, but it WOULD look interesting with the white)

I am internally chanting "you don't have to worry about having too many colors, Thunderclash exists" because anxiety brain

of course! zeta is plotting!

I feel like Tyrest and Megs would have cool interactions, especially since this is another situation where we see a side of a character we know exists but don't explicitly see in the comics (or maybe we do in the end kinda?? We know he was healed at that point, but in the end things were really picking up pace as the ending and he got turned to dust)

Oh mins
