scuttling 🦂

[ID: image 1: two drawings of scavenger from transformers in chibi style. the first drawing is of him standing with his arms out like a t-rex, the second drawing is him scampering on all fours with his scooper tail wiggling, and text saying "scuttle scuttle" around him. image 2: a drawing of scavenger standing in front of scorponok. scorponok's standing holding an energon cube, with a speech bubble by his head that has a question mark. scavenger is much tinier, drawn in less detail, and kind of squatting, with a little line burst indicating shock above him.

Here are some quick human-formers sketches I've done over the past two days; the first two are Scorponok.

"Optimus/Scorponok is one of the best Transformers ships of all time," I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“They're right,” he says. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the third row stands: Optimus Prime himself.

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 👋

Decepticons literally be like:

We hate Starscream. We hate Soundwave. We hate Shockwave. We hate the DJD. We hate our commanding officers. They're all creepy corrupt assholes who cares nothing about us or our cause. Selfish bastards, the lot of them.

Interviewer: Then how do you feel about Megatron?

Decepticons: Oh we love Megatron. He's our beacon to freedom and supremacy. The one true hero. We'd do anything for him. Of course he cares about us! It's only Everyone Else in charge who doesn't.

SCORPONOK IN TF GOGO

We have reached what is in my outline as the "JUNGLE TORMENT NEXUS". Enjoy!

Maximal & predacons

[clouderbot]

So uh since I started posting all my wips and sketches here too I guess I'll share the old design of this bad boy and the redesign he awaits.

Currently without cannons and his minions.

The things I think I didn't share here:

- the minion insects on his shoulders are called Cyberflies (not Cyberbees), because they behave more like horseflies.

- he's Predacon general. Let me say, he's the only general, because in my AU there's only 7 Predacons.

It's really funny that JRo is the guy with the (very valid) fixation on inserting birth imagery everywhere, but it was actually Barber who wrote about parenthood. Like, once the allegorical birth happens, JRo doesn't care.

SCENE - FIRST POST-WAR SCIENCE CONFERENCE

-

PERCEPTOR: (drunk) Decepticon scientists all think they're hot slag for their "Cybertronian experimentation" or whatever BUT look at those fucking sample sizes! n=6? Frag you. Get like two hundred petrorats and achieve statistical significance, you cowards.

SHOCKWAVE: Illogical, I did the power calculations, I can get significance with ten subjects.

TARANTULAS: Oh nice. I just kidnapped a whole town and used everyone there.

SHOCKWAVE: Wasteful. A whole town? For one experiment?

BRAINSTORM & NAUTICA: ...

SKYFIRE: What the fuck?

SCORPONOK: (cooing at the abomination in his chest)

BOMBSHELL: What the hell are statistics?
