#tf streetwise

[keferon]

……..so there’s that fic I was speedreading for the last two days haha...

Streetwise looked between all the occupants, getting a read on them. He quite liked his ability for gauging his first impressions of them – it was extremely entertaining figuring out who was all bark and who had the bite to back it up in an easy to read scale that ran from white, through to blue, green, and yellow, before flowing into oranges, reds, purples and black – although he’d only ever seen black once, and that was Optimus Prime. So. To be expected, honestly.

The engineers were pretty standard, the coloured halo around their helms shades of warm yellow and green. The head of Special Operations was purple – as expected. Streetwise looked to Prowl, expecting it to be blue, green at most.

Black.

It was black.

Now..I know all this sounds pretty dark, but trust me, this fic is cute and funny and I love it~

Protectobots doodles to hold y’all over as chapter 9 is being written

Close ups

Ok so I want to talk about my whole Split Spark thing I need to start working on but haven’t because I can figure out we’re to start but here we go

The first thing my brain started with is scramble city with was a combiner toy line with the Protectobots, the Aerial bots, the Stunticons, and the Combaticons. Though I decided to also and the constucticons because they were the first and some of the most recognizable combiners so why not

In this universe scramble city is a giant super weapon combining all of these combiners

The Split Spark part coming in on how their made

While the first Cybertronians came from splitting from the all Spark ones from other generations can be split off from other Cybertronians and with a partner they can both be split off and fuse together to make a new Spark though this method is unpopular because sparks from the all Spark is considered more pure and over time a lot of people forgot about this method

Another thing with the Split Spark is Cybertrons connection to earth threw unicron. Unicron and Primus used to be one but they split Unicron being Earth or chaos and Primus being Cybertron or Order

Now getting to more character specific thing this is in the aligned continuity of transformers which means blades from Rescue bots is the same blades from the Protectobots

When it comes to family

Optimus and Megatron had 2 kid being Heatwave and Starscream but then Optimus became a prime and got the matrix and because the primes looked down on family and close emotional bonds see them as a weakness suppressed Optimus memories of his family this was the final straw for Megatron and the war started Megatron keeping Starscream and giving Heatwave to the rescue bots

Once Megaton figures out they lost Heatwave he goes on a rampage and kills all the rescue bots

Back with Optimus, Ratchet was placed in charge of making the first auto bot combiner team but getting sparks from the all Spark wouldn’t merge as well and was highly unstable so they decided to use the split Spark method aka the recycle method instead because then they could use a gelslat bond to keep the combiner together but without a partner the spark splitting would take to much Spark which is we’re OP comes in

Him and Ratchet have known each other for a while now and as leader decided to give some of his Spark to this project. In honor of that they made the cast for the leader of the Protectobots have physically similarities to Optimus though emotionally not really being his son.

Ratchet was the only one that was like a father or mom to them even though as they grew up they started seeing him less because of they training they had to do because of the war

The Protectobots were actually made on earth as a collaborative project with humans and Cybertronians but during an accident, because of a then more violent blades, Defensore lost his right arm and Blades had to be sent back to cybertron for fixing and extra training under the rescue bots his last mission before quitting the rescue bots all together being the sigma 17 because him and chase were friends so he wanted his last recuse mission to be with him

When Blades got back on earth and got a helicopter alt mode again this triggered the trauma of losing his last team, his brothers, and because of this trauma and his connection to earth and by proximity Unicron it messed with his personality and pretty much made his personality the opposite of what it was, Chase not knowing because he didn’t know Blades had been on earth let alone that he’s before had a fight alt mode, didn’t question the sudden change

That’s it for this post but I most likely will make a part 2

[wild-ride-to-headcanons]

Recently I’ve been watching this series on YouTube called “Transformers the Basics” by Chris McFeely, and have been learning more about certain transformers and some other things about the transformers series.

One recent episode that I watched was about the Protectobots, and learned more about Blades through that. I’ve come to realize that the Blades on Rescuebots is quite different from original version. So knowing more about him and his siblings I want to add that to his background.

When he was young, Blades, a large bot compared to other grounders, was quite reckless and sometimes even violent. He often lashed out, only being calmed by close friends and his brothers.

As he grew Blades learned to control his violent urges, and while he and his brother First Aid went to school to become fully licensed doctors, the five brothers joined the Rescue force. They had a special ability that allowed them to connect and combine into a large singular bit know as Defensor. These five became a special team called the Protectobots, often assisting in large scaled rescues.

Unfortunately Blades recklessness and violent urges grew to a point he struggled to control himself. Then on one mission when the young bot finally snapped, not only were civilians harmed but also his siblings. This ended up scarring the young bot, causing him to close of from the world.

Due to his actions the Rescue force punished him, separating him from his team and siblings. They sent him back to the Rescue Force academy while another bot who had the same special ability as him and his brothers took his place. This caused Blades to be even more ashamed, and out of fear he cut all ties with his brothers completely, finding comfort in his old friend Chase.

When Blades and Chase were assigned to a new team, Blades finally began opening up more, though it was quite clear this was a new bot. Instead of being cocky and aggressive, he was doubtful and skittish, even growing new fears like heights. Though his aggressive nature would pop up in the form of extreme sass.

He never got the chance to reconcile with his brothers before the war began, and he was trapped in a stasis pod thanks to an Energon-Eater. He’s forever guilty about all of this.

K-9: Part 1

For this year's TF Big Bang event, I originally started off with a different idea than the one I ended up running with. However, I did write about 7500 words of this idea before giving it up as far too long for me to finish in the time available.

That said, I'm still interested in working on this fic, but I don't know when I'll have the time or energy. So I'm working on cleaning up what I do have of this story, and I'll serialize it here. If I end up writing any more, I'll add it here. (This post will contain the first instalment, as well as act as the index/masterpost for the whole thing.) In later instalments there will be illustrations, since this story idea was partially based on a toy. (And man, if I had a IDW2 MP-scaled Barricade figure, I'd be able to do a LOT of illos. 😄).

Enjoy.

No content warnings. Relationships: Barricade & Prowl, Bluestreak & Prowl, Prowl & OC

******************

Part 1

"After we turn in our reports, did you want to come to the Rusty Strut with me and the others?" Barricade asked.

Prowl settled on his wheels. "No."

"Aww, come on." Barricade swerved slightly to chime his fender against Prowl's. "You never go out with us. I'm starting to think you don't like me."

As they reached the station, Prowl transformed and frowned at his partner. "The only time I went to the bar with you and the others, I somehow got stuck paying the entire tab," he said. He flicked his wings as he turned his back on Barricade. "I have no desire for a repeat of that situation."

Barricade caught up to Prowl at the curb. "That's because you were new! It's tradition!" He slung his arm around Prowl's shoulders. "I promise it won't happen again."

"Regardless, my answer is still no," Prowl said, shrugging out from under Barricade's arm. "It is simply an activity I have no interest in. I am only here to-"

With a scoff, Barricade threw up his hands. "I know, I know. I've heard you say it enough." He rolled his optics. "You're just here to do a job, not to make friends." He frowned at Prowl. "You know this isn't Praxus, right? There's more to life than just being a tool of the state. Things like making friends, or having fun." Marching ahead of Prowl, he glanced over his shoulder. "You should try it some time."

Prowl shook his head. It had been a big change for him, moving from Praxus to Iacon. He missed the order of Praxus, where everyone knew their role and rules were clearly defined and followed. But because of that order, being an Enforcer there was... Well, it was not very challenging. Iacon, on the other hand, was larger and more chaotic. Bots had much more freedom to do what they wanted, which also meant that the peace was harder to maintain. But it also meant that the work of keeping that peace was more interesting.

Moving from being a Praxus Enforcer to becoming a member of the Iacon Watch was a huge shift for Prowl, but he took his job seriously. And doing his job did not mean spending time with his fellow constables in bars or dancitrons.

As Prowl and Barricade walked into the precinct, the desk clerk held up a hand to the bot he was talking to. "Just a sec- Hey! Prowl! The Captain wants to see you in her office right away."

Barricade lifted a brow ridge at Prowl. "What did you do?"

"I did not do anything, except my job," Prowl said, mystified.

Barricade rolled his optics again. "Yeah, I know," he said. "I hope you're not getting canned. I really don't want to break in another partner."

"I will come back as soon as possible to finish filing our report," Prowl said as he turned towards the Captain's office.

"You better!" Barricade called after him. "You know I hate doing reports!"

Prowl wracked his processor for any clues as to why the Captain of the Inner Watch would want to see him. Discipline was usually left up to the sergeants, but Streetwise had not mentioned any shortcomings in Prowl's performance to him. As far as Prowl knew, he had done everything expected and to the required parameters. His regular reviews had always been glowing. He had no idea what the Captain could want with him.

Prowl paused just outside the Captain's office and knocked on the open door. "You asked to see me, sir?"

Captain Overdrive looked up from her work and waved him in. "Prowl! Yes, come in. Close the door, please." She gestured at the chair in front of him and watched as Prowl took a seat. "You've been with the Iacon Watch for quite a while, yes? Are you enjoying the work?"

From his seat, Prowl could plainly see his personnel file open on the Chief's desk. He suppressed a nervous flick of his sensor wings. "I have been with the Iacon Watch for a year. And I am enjoying the work, yes," he said. "It is more of a challenge for me than what I found in the Praxus Enforcers."

Overdrive made a thoughtful noise and flipped through a few screens in Prowl's file. "You've had nothing but commendations. Not a single complaint so far. That's surprising, considering your partner." She flashed Prowl a knowing smile, then leaned back in her chair. "And you said you enjoy the challenge?"

"Yes, sir."

"In what way?"

"The work is varied. On patrol, we see something different every day. Analyzing each situation and determining the best course of action possible within the confines of our mandate is appealing to me." Prowl lifted his sensor wings. "It is very different than the work I was doing in Praxus."

"I can understand that." The Captain nodded thoughtfully. "I know the crime rate in Praxus is very low. The Enforcers there seem mostly for show, honestly."

Prowl did not think that was a completely honest assessment of the work the Enforcers did there, but he did not see the point in arguing with the Captain. "Yes, sir," he said instead.

"Your record from Praxus is impressive. Wanting a new challenge does explain why you wanted to make the move to Iacon," Overdrive said. "But I can't help feeling that we aren't utilizing you in the best possible way."

"Sir?"

"Would you be interested in something a bit more challenging? Perhaps in one of our special units?"

Special units! If Prowl could possibly have sat up even straighter in his chair, he would have. "I would be interested, yes, depending on the unit. Some of them do extremely important, very interesting work."

Overdrive nodded and glanced back down at Prowl's file, tabbing through a few more screens. "Do you consider yourself a mechanimal bot?"

Prowl cycled his optics. "A... I am sorry, a what?"         

"Someone who likes mechanimals. You know, felinoids, zap ponies, wirehounds, whatever." Overdrive waved her hand at Prowl's file. "It says here you had an organic for a pet when you lived in Praxus."

"Yes... I did." Prowl's wings twitched as his processor churned through scenarios trying to figure out what his personal life had to do with being transferred to a special unit. "I had a flyt."

"Did you train it yourself?"

When Prowl's processor came up empty on a rational explanation for the Captain's line of questioning, he decided that the only thing to be done was answer the questions as best he could. "Yes, sir. I got her when she was just a hatchling and started training her right away. I needed to make sure she could be left alone in my flat without causing a disturbance." He dipped his wings when he realized why the fact that he had a pet flyt was in his file. "Keeping organics in your living quarters was considered irregular in Praxus, so I wanted to make certain there was no reason for anyone to file a complaint with the Garaging Authority."

"What sorts of things did you train it to do?"

"I trained her to come when she was called and to stay on her perch when commanded. Additionally, I trained her to sit on my shoulder, and to fly through a hoop that I had made for her. She could also do loops in midair, although she needed enough space to perform one." Prowl thought back to the tiny flyt, and how she would chirp and tilt her head when she wanted a little bit of extra skitter. Then he suppressed the emotional subroutines that always inserted themselves into his processor threads when he thought about Green. That wasn't useful right now. "And of course, to eliminate her waste in the proper receptacle."

"Oh, right. I guess that's something you have to think about with an organic." Overdrive laughed. "Mechanimals don't have that issue."

"No, sir."

"This flyt, did it obey your commands?"

"Yes, sir. She obeyed them very well, sir."

"How do you feel about wirehounds?"

Prowl felt off-balance. He could not figure out where the Captain's questions were leading to. "I do not know that I feel anything about them in particular."

"You're not afraid of them or anything like that, are you?"

"No, sir."

"Does your residence building have any rules about pets?"

"No, sir, except to ensure that they are well-behaved and do not cause a disturbance."

"Good." Overdrive blanked the datapad with Prowl's file on it and leaned forward, tenting her fingers together. "Prowl, I've been asked to find someone to head up Unit K-9, and I think you are the right bot for the job."

We all know who the younger brother is.

Another doodle, this time with Streetwise being annoyed and Blades being a little shit. Not pictured is Hotspot debating on breaking them up or not.

[combiner-talk]

Rules & Other things to note:

-Mun =/= Muses

Vortex is very violent and doesn't take kindly to insults (for this blog, he will not do anything that could potentially kill another muse, but he will punch, claw at, or otherwise damage).

First Aid is a pacifist, but still snappy like Ratchet (kinda) and the others are still Decepticons and can hold their own in a fight.

-Please be kind OOC. I'm still very much a person as are you.

-No godmodding; I like my muses very much alive :)

-Non-selective! I love meeting new people, seeing how they write their characters/OCs, and generally getting to interact at all. Even if you don't wish to RP, you can always send in an ask!

-Long paragraphs are very welcomed here!

-I don't have notifs on and may not see replies for hours at a time. My life also varies day to day. (I'm also on mobile majority of the time unfortunately)

The list of muses:

-Vortex:

Decepticon/Combaticon

-Swindle:

Decepticon/Combaticon

-Blast Off:

Decepticon/Combaticon

-First Aid:

Autobot/Protectobot

(I may change them up for TFP or TFA muses who send in asks :) I know little about the comics, so please be patient with me if I don't know something. Other TF stuff I'm familiar with: Earthspark (Swindle will be my own interpretation and separate from the one in the show), TF:RID (2015))

Other Muses (show up occasionally (I prefer you not specifically ask for them unless also asking for the above muses)):

-Protectobots:

Hot Spot

Blades

Groove

Streetwise

-Combaticons:

Onslaught

Brawl

I promise there will be plenty of "ask my muse" prompt memes for everyone to understand the muses more. Also, please specify either which muse when sending in asks! (humanformers also isn't off the table :))

[dirtydragonthoughts]

I got a new friend in the mail this week.

I hemmed and hawed for over a month on this guy before finally taking the plunge. See, I knew that if I got him, that would start me down a very expensive road where I would absolutely need to "collect them all."

But, I really wanted this combiner, so here we are. I guess I'm committed now. 🙄

This is Generation Toy Streetwise. Coming later this year are his other four brothers to make Defensor.

He's a really nice figure. I like his head sculpt, and he doesn't feel as crazy fragile as the GCreations IDW Prowl did. (I still haven't transformed Prowl... I'm terrified of breaking him.) I only had one "Oh god did I just break it" moment, which is pretty good for me. ^.^

He's not as posable as Masterpiece Sunstreaker, but he has a nice range of motion. When I get some more time I'll post some photos of him alongside my other figures. He's just barely taller than the twins, which tells me Streetwise is scaled slightly larger than Masterpiece size.

I'm looking forward to getting the rest of the Protectobots!

[silverxenomorph]

Dr Google told me that this handsome mech was LL Streetwise. I then decided that he needed some lingerie with some slink, something satin-y, a change from the rest of the lingerie so far. @dramamelon I certainly hope I got the right mech!
