GRRRRRR GRRRRR TRANSFORMERS GRRRRR GRRRRR

[transformers-spike]

I've previously discussed just how likely bots are to bruise humans during interface (or even in a casual setting) - but imagine how bad it gets if they're rough during it

Out here waking up with your entire midsection covered in some of the worst bruises you've ever seen. It literally looks like you've been in a car accident (and let's pray they don't break anything because holy shit)

Don't wanna get too much into the nitty gritty details (else it's gonna get really gorey) - but it's basically why I prefer the bots being gentile with their humans (especially every version of Megatron because holy shit he is scary)

(Man I can even see TFA Swindle having some kind of label warning the buyers to be gentle, because they ain't getting a refund if anything happens to their human)

Uhhhhh

ROBLOX FREEDRAW DOODLES!!! YAY!!!!

[myirlnameiscloud]

"auuuughhh you can't jus tturn this male man boyship fandom sship into one of those lesbifreak non-boy relationshipes!!"

Heh. That's where you're wrong, pal. I've been yurifying the yaoi since before the first pronoun was even in the womb.

(Robot ships listed under cut. You're welcome. I feel the most strongly about Starscream being pangender+pansexual btw.)

Starscream and Skyfire/Jetfire are sapphic. (Kinda obvious tbh)

Swindle and Bumblebee are sapphic. (Rarepair alert!!)

Optimus and Ratchet are sapphic. (I SAID what I SAID)

Elita and Optimus are sapphic. (That follows along with the last ship)

I WOULD say Knockout is sapphic, but that is OBVIOUSLY a gay man. At least he's into someone who's partially female. (Starscream)

Skywarp and idk someone probably are sapphic.

Slipstream and Windblade are sapphic. (This is already a womanxwoman ship but I felt like it was worth mentioning)

I wanted to try and make WaveWave sapphic, but I just couldn't. Those are definitely gay men. I think they're both trans too, yay.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME IF I'M FORGETTING SOMEONE!!! Idk send an anon ask if ur shy or smth. I'm not ur parent.

[bits-and-beasts]

I'm absolutely swamped with work right now, so I haven't completed much of anything. but here's some funky little guys to tide you over!

tfp au swindle!!

backstory under cut

An opportunist and neutral (“opens up more business opportunities”), Swindle lives by one thing: money. She runs her enterprise on her warship selling weapons or supplies to anyone willing to pay a hefty price. Since Megatron is a frequent customer of her’s, bots associate her with the Decepticons despite not being a part of the faction.

Contrary to popular belief, Swindle is actually a good boss. She doesn’t want high turnover or a negative work environment, believing that if the workers aren’t at optimal efficiency, then that means less profit. Instead of paying for workers, Swindle hires desperate bots who offer to work in exchange for a place to stay/ protection/ fuel. And because of the good work environment and fair trade of work for shelter/ protection/ fuel, a lot of bots stay by Swindle’s side.

Other bits of info…

- design is heavily influenced by TFU

- 40s (in human scale)

- can and will kick your ass

- Hardtop is her right-hand man

- a popular gossip on the warship is who her conjunx is

- the second youngest of the Combaticons

Small tfa doodles + a guest star knockout!!

Little style experiment with my Vendetta AU boys (and a peek at my Breakdown redesign)… any thoughts on who else I should draw? <|:D

[sublimati0ns]

Reading about your theory on Breakdown's and Knockout's backstory (as in, them scraping mechs for parts), I cannot help but think 'oh, so Knockout (probably after Breakdown breaks some defenses down) knocks mechs out with his fork and Breakdown helps to break them down' or even 'after Breakdown knocks the mech out, Knockout does his breaking down business, the fork helps keeping them knocked out'

YEAH, 100% 😂 Those two love stupid one-liners and making puns out of their names, I feel like they’d both be so delighted at how relevant their designations are to the hustle. Imagine being one of their victims, alive and anaesthetised but unable to leave, and they’re just making stupid jokes to each other as they take you apart 💀 Most unserious organ harvesting duo

my (least) favourite thing about combiner teams in transformers media is that Hasbro only picks ONE member of the team and puts them in the media, (by media i mean shows, comics are better, kinda)

examples:

breakdown in tfp & es

swindle in tfa & es

first aid in literally anything, don’t get me wrong i love Aid as much as i love the other protectobots but he’s in so much more media then the others it’s infuriating

actually i’m gonna be honest i think it’s only those three that get to escape Hasbros combiner jail

and before you say anything blades in rescue bots doesn’t count bc they basically rewrite his character, i love him tho so it’s ok ig

anyways thanks for letting me rant, and don’t take any of this to heart, its just me complaining about nonsense + i’ve never read any of the comics bc im poor as shit so i could be wrong 🚶‍♀️
