#rescue bots reference

[bloodmoon24]

Scene shows the ElectroSwing boys putting out a fire at someone’s wooden cabin. Bezel used his powers to open the door and head inside. And not just for one minute

Bezel: *runs out, screaming with his hands in the air* AHHHHH!!! *hides behind Vox* There’s a giant lizard in there!

Vox looked at Bezel with an unimpressed face

Feedback then went inside the cabin

N: *light chuckle* Bezel, how could there be a-?

Feedback: *coming back outside with a teenage NightFury dragon on a leash* Nice, dragon

The NightFury roared

N: There’s a giant lizard out here! *runs behind Vox*

Vox: 😑

High Tide and Heatwave can get along when they have a mutual problem (Blurr. Blurr is the problem.)

[shapeshiftingcloud]

The chief says ‘Cody’s hair is becoming more and more golden’

You say ‘That’s a puzzle’

Secretly you’re very happy to hear that news.

Alpha Trion once said that some primes might reincarnate ‘on the cursed planet of chaos’

You will met a boy with golden hair.

In the years following he will have nightmares of times only know to the matrix.

He will wander the accursed planets of two dead brothers

Wondering who he truly is.

Was supposed to be a warm-up sketch, but ended up practicing some colouring (and yes, they’re in the backseat).

Bonus/The Aftermath.:

(Tagging the pal @windydrawallday because it’s KadeWave.)

Hi so rescue bots has been occupying the majority of my brain for like 2 months almost…. I made a funny cargo plane gal

She’s like an oversized dog who doesn’t realize how big or strong she is.

[whatwooshkai]

Gonna put in my lucky number; 4!

Heatwave can't sleep.

It's not his roommates, no, he's long gotten used to their various recharge quirks. And it's not the homesickness either, that was the worst in the beginning and he was sleeping just fine.

But he just can't sleep. No particular reason.

And that's the annoying part- if there's no discernible problem, there can't really be a solution. That's something Chase would say.

Heatwave considering waking one of them up to entertain him. That'd probably only go over well with Boulder, who's too soft sparked to get angry at him. But then again, Heatwave has never woken them up in the middle of the night, so how is he supposed to know anything?

I'm not a sparkling anymore, he tells himself as he gets down from his bunk, optics trained on Chase's doorwings. They don't flick. I need other ways of dealing with this than bothering my friends.

Their door opens quietly enough to not alert any of the others, and Heatwave is slipping out into the hallway.

He's never been out here in the middle of the night. The hallway is empty, cold and unwelcoming, even with the little personalized name tags on every door. Heatwave's steps barely make a sound on the floor-

-nothing compared to the footsteps pounding down the hall behind him. Shit.

"Hey!"

Heatwave whirls around to see a- a security guard? Why do they have security guards?

"Back in your room, now!" the guard orders, coming up on Heatwave too quickly, grabbing him by the collar plating and lifting him a little off the ground. "Designation. Then room number. You're getting written up for this-"

Heatwave panics, sinking his fangs into the guard's hand.

He yelps and drops him, and Heatwave dives out the nearest open window.

Bailout training kicks in not a second too soon, Heatwave just managing to get his hook into the wall before his weight drops onto the system. He lets himself down faster than he normally would, because there's too high of a chance that guard could fuck with his system.

As soon as he's on the ground he disengages himself from the bailout system, leaving it dangling from the window. He can go steal another one from the supply closet tomorrow, probably.

Right now, he has to try not to think about how much trouble he's in.

It was really dark and there's a lot of firetrucks at the Academy. And Heatwave didn't speak, either... no proper identifying marks beyond a standard bailout system. He's fine.

He's fine.

Heatwave takes a deep vent and looks out in front of him. Several bots mill around, many drunk, others looking like they just want to go home.

He's never actually been out in Iacon by himself, he realizes. Especially not at night.

Heatwave can take care of himself.

He'll just make sure to use the window in his room, next time.

I've found that two trios of siblings from two of my favorite shows have a surprising amount in common.

Note that I'm also including stuff from the EAH books and other supplementary materials

Comparisons under the cut

Daring and Kade

Oldest

Arrogant and Cocky

Strong

Athletic

Self obsessed

Loves glory

Likes sports

Likes being the hero

Acts like they don't care about things when they really do.

Tries to give their younger brother advice about girls that doesn't work very well, but genuinely wants to help.

Dexter and Graham

Younger brother

Square glasses

Nerd/Smart

Insecure

Awkward

Good with tech

Not as strong as their older brother but still athletically and heroically capable.

Has trouble talking to the girl they like.

Best friends with a green nature lover.

My favorite of the siblings.

Darling and Dani

Only girl

Athletic

Tomboyish tendencies

Likes flying

Bit of a daredevil

Wants to be a hero

Beware the temper

Wants to be seen as being just as capable as their brothers.

Siblings as a Whole

Have a well know family history that goes back very far.

Family legacy of being heroes.

Two boys and one girl sibling trio.

Trio of siblings that are very very close in age.

Each sibling in the trio has a different hair color, and they're different enough to question the genetics that made it possible.

Differences

Dexter and Darling are twins, with Dexter being older. Meanwhile, Graham and Dani aren't twins and Dani is older. (I headcanon them as Irish Twins but that's beside the point)

The Charming siblings have both of their parents while we only know about the Burns siblings' single father.

The Burnses have a younger brother, Cody, while the Charmings don't have any other siblings.

The Charmings are actual royalty in their universe while the Burnses were considered royalty for barely an episode and Dani didn't even know about it.

King and Queen Charming force their children into perfect molds that they all don't fit into and obviously favor Daring. Charlie Burns openly supports his kids in their different interests, lets them make their own decisions, and doesn't favor any of his older children above the others.

Charlie is just a much better parent than the Charmings.

Context: Each ElectroSwing member has a seismograph to find a rouge machine

N: *At the Apple Farm and noticed his seismograph is beeping* I think I got something. I got something!

Feedback: *At the sewers with the Ninja Turtles* What is it?

N: *through his communicator* It’s huge! Oh no! It’s multiplied! Wait…Those might be cows

Through the communicators, Feedback and the Turtles can hear cows mooing

N: Yup, it’s cows

Feedback: 😑

I have created a member of the Spectral Octad, and I know this looks different from RBA, but just bear with me, ok?

@asmoteeth, @sphnyspinspin, @sonicnerd, @wedge-the-recuit

(I’m not too proud of this design, tbh. It was better in my mind, but maybe, when I feel like it, I’ll redesign her, but for now, this’ll have to do.)

[windydrawallday]

*Sees you updated to have Boulder x Graham in the ship tag.

In that case, could you please doodle something regarding fluff with BoulGram please? At your own pace, of course.

(Hope you’re doing okay, Windy!)

YAS Glad you checked because I need to give myself more excuses to draw them orz and more because this is the first time I actually draw them the mini faces and vehicle mode from the zine don't count

THEM! taking a power nap together before resuming work x)

I took my time too because OMG Boulder's arms are quite tricky to move around! That btw if you have tips on how to draw him I'll be happy to know

Thank you! 🐿

Please Transformers ONE PLEASE I BEG YOU

Drop a Rescue Bots reference!!! Please!! A name, the Rescue faction, or just anything!!! Please please please

Also, the Senator Shockwave bomb please

[dracolunae]

Cybertronian society seems so fascinating to me and it’s a shame it doesn’t tend to get explored much in Transformers shows! (Or at least, not the ones I have watched so far)

Afaik the comics go more in-depth into it which I am so excited to get to but the only show I’ve seen that actually has a decent chunk of it set on Cybertron is Cyberverse and even then, that was post-war.

But just. The concept of a society of transforming robots on a planet made almost entirely of metal and their creator deity’s body, with such insane size differences between characters is so interesting! Like, you can’t really standardise anything when one guy is 4 meters tall and another is closer to 40! And this is a species that does not reproduce by itself but rather seems to recycle souls (sparks) into new bodies made of what is essentially primordial ooze (living metal).

Also very importantly that element of fluidity of identity and body. When you can change what you look like on a whim to such a stark degree, what really is identity? It’s somewhat implied that a lot of cybertronians take on new names depending on their environment, or translate them at the very least to fit in. Like, I haven’t gotten to really see cybertronian culture not filtered through a more human lens and I’m so excited to see that! It’s especially interesting for me in regards to Beast Wars, where we have all these protoforms that join the cast, and sometimes it feels like they know who they were before (especially Protoform X/Rampage) but for others it feels like they either have no memory of or no desire to go by whoever they used to be.

Plus, the insane timescale that a lot of cybertronians seem to live on, where they exist for millions of years. How do they experience time? Are days, weeks, months, years, decades nothing to them?

When you live for millions of years in a universe made of metal, how foreign must those small fragile organic creatures, whose species hasn’t even existed as long as you yourself have fought in a single war, seem?

Are they like mayflies, fleeting? Or are they like miracles, able to change and grow in such a short time while Cybertron stays stuck in its ways for a comparative eternity.

THAT'S their solution to dr.Morocco?!? And no one questions the ethics of this??? Sure, he kinda deserves it because he's done it to others before and in some way he does benefit from it kind of, but it's still just so messed up
