#quark transformers

[timecase]

The rise of the cat-ified transformer images has inspired me to post the ones i made approximately six months ago. I don't have the entire cast, but I have a substantial amount of ones that my friends asked me to do. The idea was to keep them in semi-natural colors while giving them patterns that correlate to their design at least a little.

Project from forever ago to draw all the scientist/engineer/etc transformers characters, but I never had the time or energy to finish it. They hold up surprisingly well!

My contribution for the Slice of Cybertron on Twitter/X.

A scenario where Percy actually met Brainstorm as Genitus even before the war but he doesn't remember it because Brainstorm had a different name, a slightly different frame, was not wearing a mask and maybe felt different somehow.

Anyway kind of wordy, I had to cram my idea in two pages because of time constraints ;u;.

(My original hc was that Quark and Brainstorm probably met early war instead of prewar. I had to adjust this because of the zine's prewar theme but one thing is consistent: Quark recognized his talents, believed in him, saved him from going back to the frontlines, and kept him as his lab assistant.).

And I thought maybe Percy, all through the war to post war, actually remembers Genitus, but failed to link him to Brainstorm, so he's very surprised to find out they are one and the same. He might have had some hope or respect for Genitus in the past, the same way he had it for others like him (Skyfire, or Wheeljack. or maybe Pharma from the medical field), and laments how he vanished (when he changed his name).

Probably Genitus started having a crush on both Perceptor and Quark, but Quark is more reachable, and Percy was uhh.. a. big shot, he thought he had no chance with him. So he focused on Quark.

Brainstorm attempts to introduce his crushes

[itswisp]

for the kiss meme: 32 and simpatico

(as for the scenario, maybe Brainstorm purposefully trapped himself in a dream because he's sad and depressed over something lol, and some of the crew has to invade his dreamscape to try wake him up)

Kiss prompt #32 "to wake up" from this post -> Send me a Ship and a Number and I will Write a Kiss!

Perceptor hadn't been too thrilled about the idea of entering Brainstorm's mind, but now that he was here, he had to admit that he was … impressed. And that didn't happen often.

When thinking about Brainstorm, the first thing that comes to mind is chaos. Then fire. Explosions. But this? This isn't at all what Perceptor expected to find when entering his dream space.

When he'd allowed Chromedome to hook himself to the other – more unstable and unpredictable, if he might add – scientist's consciousness, he hadn't expected to find himself in a quaint little university. He hadn't expected Brainstorm's dream world to be this quiet. But that's exactly how it is. Silent … and empty.

Preceptor wanders from room to room and hall to hall; head turning this way and that while he keeps his optics primed and sharp as not to miss the slightest clue that could lead to finding Brainstorm as quickly as possible.

There was no telling which surprises might be waiting in his mind, no matter how calm and safe it seemed for now.

He doesn't know how long he's been wandering through Brainstorm's dream university and is almost considering giving up and returning to his own head when he hears a noise. It's faint and muffled but the only sign of Brainstorm he's found since entering his dream and can't be dismissed.

So, he guides his steps towards the source of the noise; passes a few more empty rooms as he marches down the long, oddly gloomy hallway until he reaches yet another door. He opens it without hesitation and …

… there he is.

Sitting in the very back of the room is Brainstorm; one arm propped onto the table and his chin resting in his palm while his eyes are glued to a point in the front. His facial mask is gone.

Frowning, Perceptor turns and follows his optics and … oh. They are not alone, someone else is there. Pale and slender and familiar.

With his back turned to both of them, Quark works on a complicated equation; adding formulas and changing – or even erasing – them the longer he stares at the numbers and letters written on the whiteboard.

He is not real, of course. Quark is long gone, but that doesn't mean that he is forgotten.

Perceptor hesitates for a moment; unsure if it would be rude to simply interrupt this quiet, private moment Brainstorm has created for himself. But then he remembers why he's here and steps inside.

Careful and slow, he makes his way to the back of the room and takes a seat next to Brainstorm. For a moment or two, it seems like he doesn't even notice that he has company, but then Brainstorm sighs.

“He was the brightest mind I've ever known”, he says with a little flutter of his wings, and despite himself, Perceptor can't fight the small scowl pulling on his lip plates.

He jolts when Brainstorm suddenly turns and looks at him; a smile on his face but his eyes dull and distant. Sad. “Current company excluded, of course”, he says and somehow those words make Perceptor's spark pulse a little faster.

Brainstorm's eyes don't linger. They return to Quark's back and for a long while, they both are silent.

Perceptor studies him. Observes his posture and body language and picks up on the slight tremor in his EMF. “He truly meant a lot to you”, he comments and that sad smile returns to Brainstorm's face.

“He meant the world to me”, he admits quietly and Perceptor can feel the truth in his words. It's in the way his eyes soften and his ventilation turns into a slow, steady purr. How his wings flutter every now and then and the way his entire dream world seems to light up and shine with a gentle, warm yellow hue not unlike the color of Quark's optics.

“ … I'm sorry you lost him”, Perceptor says without realizing his vocoder is activating itself.

Brainstorm sighs again, his eyes staying on Quark for another moment before he finally turns back to Perceptor. He is still smiling. “Me too”, he says and then visibly starts to perk up. “But I've made my peace with it, at last. Well, most of it, anyway.”

Rising from his chair, Brainstorm stretches his arms and flicks his wings, and his smile turns into a smirk. It's a familiar expression. One, Perceptor has grown quite fond of, if he was being honest.

Brainstorm looks as if about to say something when he stops and blinks. Perceptor hears a little click, then a few more and sees his optics recycling. “Wait”, Brainstorm says and eyes Preceptor with suspicion. “What are you doing here? I don't remember ...”

Standing up as well, Perceptor rolls his optics and smiles the tiniest bit himself. “I'm here to bring the self proclaimed ship genius back to the world of the living”, he says in a rare display of attempted humor.

Brainstorm's optics grow wide and bright but before he has any time to react or say another thing, Perceptor leans in and places a soft, chaste little kiss on his cheek plates. “It's time to wake up, Brainstorm.”

And the last thing he sees before the dreamscape around him starts to tremble and fall apart is an adorable blush spreading across Brainstorm's entire face.
