Random ideas for a hypothetical Scavengers (mini) series

So I made a google doc a few nights ago and filled it with random ass ideas for how a cartoony likely-episodic Scavengers series could go... It was around the same time I wanted to get to animating a Scavs-related thing but no promises there or to this ever becoming more than rambles

Anyways... heres an unorganized collection of my silly thoughts:

POST-WAR!! War’s over, Autobot-Decepticon alliance is great and dandy for everyone except of course the folks who got left behind and forgotten by respective High Commands and have had to make their own dealings in space to get thru life and shit; focusing on the daily struggles of your average low of the low genericons/bots, the Scavengers

Optimus and Megatron are definitely married (trust); we go the IDW MTMTE route but instead of Megs off on a quest with Roddy and gang, he’s with Optimus and they both publicly surrender/call truce or whatever on-video and agree to help repair cybertron instead of squabbling, sending a message to all cybertronians taking refuge amongst the stars blah blah blah its time to go home (pilot should open with this i think, set the worldview up straight from the beginning)

It could either be set in the slums of like some populated city or smthn, like maybe Dead End of Kaon or smthn OR… now consider… Set NOT on Cybertron, literally anywhere BUT Cybertron; the Scavs wander space, at least every few episodes or so would be set in a different planet or smthn, having them do their usual shenanigans and (failing) their supply/scavenging runs, as well as the occasional star station too for like a pit stop i guess; there’d be atleast one episode where they go to earth probably

Main characters (scavs duh, but lemme write some shit down here rq):

Krok - the dutiful, ever-patient (one can of engex away from losing it) leader of the Scavengers; he’s the one that usually has the single functioning brain cell

Crankcase - the skillful pilot of the crew’s beloved Decepticon-hijacked Autobot vessel, always in a sour mood, think TFA Ratchet but up the old man crankiness to 500; really good at fixing things (mechanic)

Spinister - a little stupid… all the stupid actually… but he’s got things rattling in there too, don’t worry! The Scavengers’ medic; would probably be Cybertron’s greatest surgeon if it weren’t for everything else

Fulcrum - Defunct?? Rejected?? Something-class Decepticon, a bit of a coward, found in a dumpster by Misfire; he’s a technician too! Score!

Misfire - ideas are about as good as his aim (which is not at all); the really really talkative and social one; rejected Rainmaker/Seeker (bro didnt pass Decepticon Academy, rip)

Additional members that get added to the crew later on!

Grimlock - resident Dinobot and the only Autobot on the crew (for now or smthn idk), thinking of either having them find him during the pilot episode or a bit later on?; i think Krok would definitely have a thing where he’s super wary of him until a big character development episode thing happens like in MTMTE #46

Nickel - hmmm idk yet.. Maybe a former high ranking decepticon officer whose position has been stripped from her the more fucked up and bad the faction ended up becoming because she was very vocal about its problems til the current day? (I just don’t think her being connected to the DJD would work here womp womp)

Flywheels (unsure) - some mech that tagged along with them during one random shenanigans episode

MP3 / or some other new human character (unsure) - they have an episode where they go to Earth and befriend silly human… may or may not keep them, maybe they could be an honorary Scavenger but only appears sometimes or stays on Earth but keeps in touch with the Scavs (look I just think having a human on the crew would be kinda silly and funky for the dynamic)

Meanies to the crew (weekly bad guy):

Novastorm - leader of the Rainmakers; has beef with Misfire

Skullcruncher- Krok hates his guts; he’s the TFA Sentinel to Krok’s TFA Prime, probably served together on like whatever the equivalent of a Warworld ship would be in this

Raiders??? Space pirates??? Idk but I’d def make em be related to Spinister’s past or smthn (this was inspired by some fanfic I read a bit ago, I think Fool’s Paradise on AO3)

Needlenose? (Spin trusted him, betrayed copter boy :((( or smthn)

Scorponok - probably the biggest threat of the show (ofc not in universe), but he’d be like IDW Scorponok in that one Scavs issue, all kinda silly and dramatic but def a threat, he kinda reminds me of Dino/BW Megatron a bit

DJD (absolutely unsure, maybe a passing mention or not at all) - would probably have to sillify them a bit (a lot, idk how the hell Cyberverse managed it with Tarn)...

There's more in the doc but they're not fully formed ideas yet... My countless hours scrolling the Scavengers tags on tumblr have also given me ideas for certain kinds of episodes that could happen but again, nothing concretely written down yet

If I have the energy or remember this, I'm def gonna be updating it with some more ideas cuz whether this becomes real or not, its fun!! Maybe I could write it as a fic one day or if someones wants to idk

Okay bai bai for now, I gotta eep 👋

[thediscohorse]

Spent way too long on this and it's kinda rough, but it's a position I stand behind and need to put out into the world

Here is Chibi TFP Needlenose alongside a Minicon OC Whiteout

[thunderxino]

i present u, bestest older bro figure: Tracks <3

why the fuc do i not see that much of Tracks' fan contents?? let me participate bcs i aint letting that happen

tap for better quality

[kapuchino357]

not even in the realm of 'could feasibly happen' but since Earthspark is primarily about family & legacy & community, i think it would be neat for Tracks to show up not only to provide an example, with Raoul, of an older Cybertronian who is perfectly content with assimilating into human culture and has found a place within it for himself, but also as a cautionary tale, w/ Decepticon brother, about what conflict like the war can do to a family

[gamelpar]

okay this is one of my favorite moments in ex-rid ❤️

fuk u needlenose

swindle my love 💕

neutrals with needlenose: >>:(

[tflegendarium]

I need to work on Tracks more. I've been reminded of how much I love him and what a cool guy he is.

In the AU he may mess up some in his personal relationships, but he genuinely is a good person and losing his brother and discovering he was wrong about Horri-bull changes him a lot.

I just think it's interesting to work on someone who was a very protective big brother who was focused on the small picture of himself and his brother with his own biases and prejudices and distrustful of his brother-in-law as a potential gold digger to the point he was convinced Horri-bull could murder Needlenose to someone who was generous and kind and open minded enough to befriended and fall into tragic, tragic love with Raoul who was important enough to him to introduce to Needlenose when Tracks finally got the chance to repair the relationship.

I like character growth.

TF: ONE Trailer 2 first impressions

Spoilers under the cut (duh!)

Gayass

Hot Rod called, he wants his weapons back

(But hey! First time OP uses his smokestacks as weapons, flamethrowers to be more exact, and that's kinda badass)

FUCK YEEEEAH!! Nothing makes my bells whistle more than a good railway system

Who is this little girl? I thought it was my good friend Needlenose at first, but it didn't match him at all. So, since we already have Darkwing I thought he should be Dreadwing, but it matches even less... Who are you, mysterious reused model?

The way I chortled at this... PLEASE I CAN'T NOT LAUGH AT LOWBROW HUMOR

Screamer's alt-mode and it isn't a tetra jet...

Hey, it kinda looks like his BBM alt, minus the fugly undercarriage

GUYS GUYS GUYS, I'M FEELING SICK...IS THAT RAMJET NEXT TO THAT C-LIST BLUE SEEKER?????

Okay, cone-geeking aside, Skywarp got a dialogue line, oh shoot! I wasn't very positive about how relevant the 'Cons would be in this movie, but now I'm very excited...

Also Soundwave, that body of urs...

Ugly ass, Xenomorph-looking girl

also, free trypophobia! HELL YUEAH!

"Maybe it's just me, but he's different."

God forbid a guy is autistic 😒

DIRGE? THRUST? ARE MY EYES DECEIVING ME? OR ARE MY CONELY WIVES IN THIS MOVIE

edit: I ALSO SEE RAMJET'S BLACK TIP ONG

Also, Starscream ass-whooping? Omg, it's been years since Screamer got his ass handed to him by Megatron on the big screen!

Evil bisexual lighting

I figure this will be the scene where Megsy finally breaks bad and goes full dictator. Please develop this well, Movie, I'm counting on you...

DIRGE AND THRUST *mouth foaming*

Also some pretty obscure seekers, I think... Uh, Thundercracker and Skywarp? Someone correct me if I got the names wrong

I figure this will be the scene where they meet the Decepticons for the first time (assuming they're already called that, I don't see any badges)

So...uh... Are you free this Friday?

To keep this short, this trailer was very welcomed, It gave us a little bit more insight into the plot, showed us legacy characters who look like they'll be big players in the narrative, and gave us a lot more insight into the emotional hook of this story, which is the gayass falling out of Orion and D-16.

All in all, I absolutely loathed this trailer because it didn't have any Constructicons in it./s

[tracks-and-raoul]

Another one from the vault! I love these guys

[c0untrymutt]

oh!! if you're doing requests, could you draw Needlenose from the IDW comics? <3

Here ya go <3

[cerebrocentric-bullet]

Hi there, if you're still open for pride icon requests, could you do Needlenose from the idw comics with the gilbert baker pride flag?

I've never drawn Needlenose before, but I think I did him justice! His colors match so well with Gilbert Baker's Pride flag

[youareunbearable]

an unasked for hot take but Tracks is Madonna’s “Material Girl” to Needlenose’s UPSAHL’s “People I Don’t Like” 

same meaning but different vibe

[artistierre]

Commission finished for the wonderful @soothedcerberus ! Thank you so much for commissioning me, I had a lot of fun with this!
