Full color version of these vectors; it's been years and years since I put this much effort into a single drawing, and I'm proud to have done it for the Transformers (Reverse) Big Bang. Fun fact, in the original draft for this picture, Star Saber's main prop was holding a sword. That was until our team got to talking, and now the details have a whole other set of gear in tow because, well—for more info, go read Bunny's lovely accompanying piece Safety and Adoration, a what-if that's set in the aftermath of Luna-1. Rated E for the extra steamy scene in the second chapter, it just might be the thing to convince more people out there to help populate the tag for this pairing? A person can dream.
@callsign-relic proposed the concept of Tinyformers!Getaway + Humanformers!Tyrest and I've been thinking about that most of the day, so have some scribbles of that lol
Getaway is horribly behaved little goblin
he's been put in the timeout pocket
sometimes a family is a reclusive inventor and his handsized robot son
(CW: implied self-harm below the cut)
throwin in some tinyformers!Pharma too bc why not (he's putting bandaids on Tyrest's scars)
Propagate Anon: Megs got so lucky Tarn settled on this side of the overreaction meter and that all of the DJD are ride or die with Tarn and if he tells him we are going to start a war against Megatron and team up with a Traitor or that they are going to go repopulate the universe with Autobots they all agree.
Meanwhile, Megatron just has to deal with this, and it is his fault, while Rodimus swans around having the time of his life.
Speaking of this fic which I will be writing on more once work calms down, these months are our busy season, I am now firmly having the Deathsaurus/Star Saber Side Story, the WTF Is Happening On Cybertron Side Story, and the Who Knocked Up Optimus Prime Side Story.
The OP Side Story is also funny and ended up potentially with GalvOP as Optimus's group tries to figure out who did it while Optimus firmly denies he is carrying and no one can get him to sit down. Galvatron and the Decepticons get dragged into it because Galvatron refuses to fight someone who is pregnant and now it turns out half of his new forces are as well so the Earth Campaign goes definitely sideways also why is no one knocking sense into this idiot Prime. He is so much worse than Nova and while Galvatron hates Primes on principle the little voice inside him that sounds like Cyclonus makes him step up to take care of wet cat ex-cop crying in a Denny's parking lot (I have a scene planned where this actuallyhappens) Prime sense his followers are clearly incompetent and this is not Galvatron's first rodeo.
Nickel when they finally meet has Galvatron's respect.
So way luckyyyyy
Oh Rodimus is having so much fun and making Megs even more miserable because this is the goofy ship and we love it🥰
Pharma reaches out in surprise to Star Saber kneeling at his feet.
Vector underpainting featuring a rarepair that's been on my mind since last fall. Of course I took advantage of the opportunity to rope another person into thinking about them thanks to the Reverse Bang!
(Raster painting to follow, soon as I get the AO3 link from my partner)
im sorry im thinking about my blorbos again aaaaaa
Tinyformers Luna 1 crew:
Pharma is a very needy tiny. It might be difficult to notice at first, because he's quite organized and independent, but if you don't actively compliment whatever he's working on he'll start to think you don't like him. Be prepared for a dramatic meltdown at 3:00 AM, complete with staticky wailing and the buzzing of tiny chainsaws.
Lockdown isn't a tiny you adopt, he just kinda shows up one day like a stray cat and keeps coming around if you give him food. He'll occasionally bring you items he's scavenged or things you've lost. He brought you your spare housekey one time because he found it hidden and thought you'd lost it. Don't try and pet him though, because he may bite.
Star Saber is like a guard dog; he'll stand by your door or window with a hand on his sword, intently watching for ne'er-do-wells. He will also build a tiny little Primalist shrine in his habitat and chirp at you to join him for morning prayers, and even if you aren't religious it's probably best to humor him. You don't wanna wake up with him angrily trying to stab your leg with his little sword.
If you're getting a tiny for emotional support, Tyrest is not the bot to choose, because you're going to be his emotional support. It can be a bit difficult to tell at first when Tyrest is upset because he retains the exact same facial expression and posture, if you notice he's a bit more withdrawn and is starting to stare off into space, it's probably a good sign you need to pick him up and pat him reassuringly. When he's in a good mood, though, he'll keep track of what items you have in your home and add them to your grocery list if he thinks you need to restock, as well as just fixing random things around the house without prompting.
