FERAL SCREAM

This is an ask! I haven’t found ANY ROTB Cheetor x reader fics and like, he’s about my fave character out of Rotb and no one ha written him 😟

Ain’t that sad, but if you know ANY good ROTB fics with either Cheetor or Optimus primal (faves if u can’t tell😎) could you pls @ me in them 😭

But what is your favourite show/movie? Idk it’s 10:12 and I’m bored

it’s sad that no one’s written for cheetor yet, his design is so pretty. i haven’t read any rotb fics that weren’t prime, bee or mirage x reader so i’ll keep an eye out for you. my favorite show is transformers animated, my favorite movie is either nimona or brother bear (which are all lovely pieces of media).

Oh great googly moogly, I forgot to post a LOT of stuff related to some of @agathaarts‘s AUs too. In the spirit of “self indulgent nonsense in other people’s AUs”, I present you this lot from the past few months! 

More details below the cut! 

In order we have: 

1. Concept “Transmetal” designs for a few characters in the Paradise setting (check it out for yourselves here @tf-paradise, it is a very amazing AU and a personal favorite among the “Beast AUs”!), including Solstice (naturally) as a Quetzacoatlus knight, Cheetor as a seeker inspired Transmetal Cheetah and finally, “Leopatron” as a “Proto-Galvatron”/liquid metal abomination. These were some FUN designs to work on and I’m honestly mad at myself for not posting them sooner. 

2. On another character design front, we had an experiment with four different bots in the style of WAR (which y’all can read up on here, another act I HIGHLY recommended). For established designs like Arcee and First Aid (best girl and boy respectively), it was more of an “expression”/pose test of sorts to make sure I’m not just using the same basic standing pose in character design works like this. 

For the other two, however, it was that AND an attempt to make two WAR designs from scratch. Again, you’ll see I included Solstice (sporting similar design elements to the Transmetal version for...reaaaasons I hadn’t revealed before opting for a more drastic redesign) and Exhaust (a personal fave of mine on the obscure character front, especially after getting the ER figure from the GF earlier this year.). I definitely like how Exhaust turned out but I’m still kinda iffy on Sol. 

And lastly, somethin’ simple from the @tfrangers AU, featuring dragon mode Sol from said AU and space goat Crescent (Sona belonging to the aforementioned geef, @moontruffles). Agatha cursed me with goats for my birthday earlier this year and I wanted to do something with it but apparently didn’t get that far. Because I am a scatterbrained FOOL. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed these experiments! I am just a sucker for Agatha’s AUs and apparently, as Blurrito, Agatha and Necro can attest, my first response to a TF AU that I really like is “Cool! Now how would I fit Solstice in there”. 

God bless ‘em for being able to put up with that lol

Prime for the og cont ask meme! Tell me your SNAP faves, bro >:3

Prime: favorite character, by personality, design, or something else?

Oh NOOOO I knew even as I wrote the question that I would have a hard time answering this!

Hmm... my fave of faves would have to be Blurr, because I’m very predictable like that. I’m proud of his design and the idea to give him Cheetor for a hero identity. And you know he’s got that speedy voice, it’s required.

I think my favorite design right now is Drift. When I first thought of him as a dapper, swashbuckling musketeer full of verve and panache, I knew I had his concept nailed. His helm is made to look like the sweeping feathery hat, his kibble like the draping suits and uniforms of a dandy, and his proficiency in fencing a homage to the dramatic duels of the Victorian era. A polar opposite of Deadlock, that’s for sure.

Hiya, Transformers artists, I'm looking to commission somebody for Transformers Prime fanart?

I am looking for someone comfortable with Transformer Prime style character art who would be interested in 'upgrading' a childhood fave into a sleek modern look. Like, if this character had shown up in TFP what would he look like? Like that.

If you are such an artist, or know someone with Commissions OPEN (i keep finding people who say they're closed so I'd like help), please let me know!

What character, you might wonder?

Okay, bear with me because this is not a popular show.

Beast Machines was the first Transformers continuity show I ever knowingly consumed. I must have been 9 or so. Beast Wars was still airing but it was not at a time slot I could watch often. Im sure I watched it before BM and I know i saw most of Reboot. But I would not truly appreciate Beast Wars, or understand why people didn't like it, until I rediscovered BW in high school. (That's a fun story that involves Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Lolol)

That said, I absolutely LOVED Beast Machines. I get why it's mostly forgotten and i have big issues with the show myself but, boy oh boy, it was my favorite saturday morning cartoon - EVEN with Batman and Pokemon and other stuff at the time (about 1999 and 2000). And to this day I believe there were some cool plots and themes and character development going on there that probably would have succeeded a whole lot more if it wasn't a continuation of Beast Wars. But it also introduced some sweet new characters.

Now I love me my Maximals and Autobots. But my faves tend to be villains.

And if there was anything BM did right it was its Vehicon Generals. Thrust was great and deserves more attention, Obsidian was pretty cool, Tankor had an interesting if short lived plot, but ooooohhhhhhhHHHHHH....

Jetstorm and Strika took the cake.

These days, Jetstorm is fondly remembered as one of the twin Autobot jets in TFA people loved for some reason (never got the craze honestly), or the cute minicon in RiD 2015 (i like him too!). But in Beast Machines he was a sinister, very talkative loud mouth of a baddie with a surprisingly feminine figure (i had never seen anyone like him before that wasnt feminine coded) and overall kick aft hover-based legless design. He ENJOYED hunting the good guys (a true Seeker, really), had a bit of a temper on him, and sort of flipped the tables for me on the delicate light-armored flying type being cowardly, sneaky, or easy to take down. Nope!

Jetstorm was all in, all the time, over the top and smart to boot. I mean, of course the Maximals were going to win their encounters, but Jetstorm could take a beating and was relentless.

Even better, he was INTERESTING. He had a secret tie to the Maximals that, once revealed, became a subplot that was explored quite a bit before it ended for me. (One of the first cartoon based heartbreaks of my childhood).

His voice acting? Brian Drummond put every effort into playing a villain who was emotionally volatile and barbed, and yet at least a few times softened just a tad. He pulled that off well. And I love me a villain with unique vocal style. His sports host enthusiasm was frequently punctuated with angry Vegeta yelling, and I love Vegeta yelling. Lol

Jetstorm delivered the first cross show reference line to Pokemon i had ever heard (he said gotta catch em all referring to the Maximals and my child mind was like whaaaaa they can do that!?). He had fun exchanges with the heroes I enjoy at age 29 as much as i did then. (At some point he tells the Maximals to move, Cheetor yells make me!, and Jetstorm shrugs and charmingly just says, "M'kay!" and starts shooting at them. Lol)

Sigh... I loved this guy and have sadly never seen him again. T_T

Strika... well this post is long enough but she was also a first for me. In appearance and behavior she was completely a surprise, and to my child mind i was delighted to see a tough, blocky female TANK be a General. I would love to commission art of what she might have looked like in the Prime universe in the future!

And therefore, because I've been daydreaming up a storm over TFP lately (I still obsess over this show this many years later!!) I'd like someone to draw the TFP versions of these two. Jetstorm, to start with.

Now, I am an artist myself but between spending hours feeling dissatisfied with my own hands or paying someone with more experience drawing Cybertronians... well, I'd like to shop around first. XD

So if you got time and a slot, or if you know someone looking for business, please let me know!
