Prowl: ratchet, i need your help

Ratchet: I swear, if you hid another wound -

Prowl:* takes Springer out of his subspace and put him on ratchet's hands* i will be quick

Ratchet:* in shock *wait -how- WHEN?!

He absolutely does do this.

Prowl doesn’t drop the lore, doesn’t say when he had his sparkling or who the sire is, tiny spider can be seen watching from the corner. He just- plops sparkling to his trusted friend and dips.

[my-naughty-writings-and-musings]

adding onto the pile, hcs for ES tarantulas? something tells me he’d be into bondage teehee

Yes indeed, anon! I have a feeling he'd be very, very into it...

1. Yes, he's into bondage, and his webs have given him ample practice. He can easily bind you however he pleases, and is skilled enough to ensure your comfort in any position. It helps that he uses strong but especially soft webbing when tying you up, which he spins with the utmost care around your body, taking his time both to ensure perfection and to get you as riled up as possible. You'll be quite surprised by how elaborate he gets with his bonds, as well as how much he enjoys the process of binding you, claws and mandibles caressing every inch of skin as he whispers endless praises. Suspending you is something he loves to do, especially if there's enough space for him to be up there with you, moving about your helpless frame like a spider surveying a catch... though what follows is always more than pleasant.

2. As a scientist on an alien world, he can't help but want to study everything, and your anatomy is no exception. If you'll indulge him, he loves to turn you over in his hands and explore, ideally when you're naked. It's quite a turn on for him to know every detail of your body and how all your parts interact. He wants to know where you're most sensitive, what kind of touches elicit what responses, and how to drive you wild. Those careful claws are remarkably adept at gently handling your tiny form.

3. His love of bondage is matched only by his dedication to aftercare. When the two of you finish your fun, he'll turn the web into a proper, elevated nest to care for you in, pulling in pillows and blankets to keep you warm as he cleans you off.

“Arcee about that backup”

[pocoslip]

Apparently Tarantulus' Robow Claws are meant to be Bug Extra Mandibles for his Spider Mode, yep

(i'm impressed that spider can stand on their legs and doesn't lay down on their body)

[iliterallydecepticanteven]

I remember I had this whole idea for animated Airachnid and Tarantulus where long story short they were former doctors who were inspired by Blackarachnia and modified themselves into techno-organics like her.

Albeit more medically than what Blackaracnia did with Wasp.

Ooh I like it! First time I'm hearing about this and it sounds really cool! I'll be honest, I only know Airachnid from Prime and haven't seen or read anything with Tarantulus in it (I just haven't had time), but from what I've seen in other posts, I think it fits their characters well. Especially Tarantulus because apparently he's like fifty different flavors of crazy. I could also imagine Blackarachnia having no clue about this and then finding out and being horrified they would do to themselves what she believes to be a curse and disaster for her. Bonus points if they try pulling her CNA and code to "perfect" their forms.

[teejay-kaye]

idk penny I say we round up some volunteers and put it to the test

If you got a Transformer and fully dismantled it into all its individual parts. And then got a bunch of other Transformers and replaced one of each of their parts with a piece of the Transformer you dismantled. So all their parts are still alive and functional but distributed across hundreds of other bodies. That would be pretty messed up I think.

[keferon]

Hey, I don't know if you're still open to answering questions about this, but if you are I am SO curious to know about what Tarantulas would be like the monster hunter au? Even if he's basically the same I'm really curious what the more mythical setting and Prowl being a golem would change (if it changes much of anything at all)

I love your art! It's a big source of inspiration to me

Oh, I've been asked this before and didn't have an answer last time, but now I do.

Tarantulas would be the ultimate weirdo, studying magic and Beastformers, but he himself would originally be a regular mech.

At some point he became so inspired by his research that he essentially invented a way to turn regular mechs into Monsters, and the first thing he did was turn into a spider himself.

He also, as in the comics, works with Prowl and he's one of the very few to know that Prowl is a golem and not a real mech, even though he looks and acts like one. This information actually gives Tarantulus a great idea to try to create a golem that is so elaborate and advanced that it is essentially a mech.

He decides to break every possible rule of golem creation to create Ostaros. While Prowl is essentially a hollow armor powered by magic - Ostaros is something like Frankenstein's monster. Tarantulas put him together, taking care of every little detail. He gave him a processor and internal components (and a transformation cog hehehe). Ostaros still doesn't have a spark, but he has free will, intelligence, emotions and all. And two modes. He can look like a normal mech, or he can transform into an insecticon.

Prowl is so fucking confused by the way, because he just walks into Tarantulas' lab one day and there's a completely random mech with a face that could be a mirror image of Prowl's. And Tarantulas is like, hey look, I created life and now it's your problem how and where to house him, because this kid needs to go to school.

(Prowl ends up sending Ostaros to Shockwave Academy to become a knight)

Okay my Transformers Earthspark season 2B review!!!

There will be spoilers, skip it if you don't want any spoilers

I won't repeat myself about topics I already talked about like Hashtag, plot holes, graphics that give me nightmares, etc.

So... you can be surprised but most of the episodes weren't making me instantly mad! Ik, ik, it's shocking, but yeah, main cause of it is Prowl! Like every episode that he was in was entertaining enough to foucs me on what was happening and not make me think about all the fucking filler and waste of potential is happening in background XDD

But before we go to this part, let's start from the beginning! 3 first ep of this part of a season were just straight up fucking filler. Like those eps were so boring and unimportant that while i was writing a review of it on my instagram yesterday I needed to rewatch first episode, because I forgot what was happening there XDDD like omg every ep before Prowl showed up was so useless and waste of time!!! Like they could use it for like idk STARSCREAM DEVELOPMENT WHICH THEY STARTED IN SEASON 1, RUINED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND AND DID NOTHING LATER WITH IT

But lets go to the fun part uwu which is ep where Prowl shows up, like he and Megatron are holding this fucking shit show on their shoulders every scene they are in XD

Like Prowl is such a funny racist bitch, I'm kinda sad that they forgot that Tarantulus exist and never do something with him and Prowl, like that would be so cool if Prowl was anti hero, not a villain... but him being funny racist learning that he should respect other ppl is ig cool???

I still fucking can't believe that his figure is repainted cyberverse Roddi

And second is Megan, which is serving (not in design way), every scene that she shows up in is just melting my heart, because he is such a cute grandpa for Twitch (he is not her fucking father figure, he is elder man which is taking care of youngling, which means he is grandpa for hair >:(((()

I can only put one video in the post so I only show you this, but like OMG he is stealing the fucking show, every fucking scene he calls her 'little bird' one child rids off the daddy issue

But let's come back to rest of the stuff, which means: too many fucking characters.

Like there is so much characters that they have almost 0 time do develop or even talk, like yet Grimlock showed up only in zombie ep for longer than 10 seconds in season overall, and doesn't even talk XDD

Or Starscream situation, like for sure focusing on terrans having troubles with Robby's alien date was more important than Screamer reliving the trauma of being left by everyone and getting crazy to the point he is talking to corpses... IT'S NOT IMPORTANT AT ALL

And I don't even wanna know what they will do with this giant bitch which they woke up in the end...

ANYWAY Season 2B is getting 5/10 score, which is the highest for Earthspark yet!

It's like buying from the Shein, you think it looks cute and cool, but turns to dust while you put it on your ass.

Ah and this one pic I made a while ago is still really valid

Ah and Izzy is bad villain like bad not in evil way just bad

wada sez: See below for the original script.

Page 12

Panel One

(Shot of the massing horde of Fox Kids Transmetal Tarantulas drones coming out of Tarantulus‘s lair).  The drones are in a very disorganized state, some in beast mode, some in robot mode, some even dancing or making lewd gestures if the artist wishes.  The main point is that the horde is trying to draw attention to themselves)

TEXT BOX:  The enemy forces are mounting.  

TEXT BOX:  But something is wrong.

TEXT BOX:  Their formation is scattered, their movements chaotic.  It looks as if their only goal is to draw attention upon themselves.

Panel Two

(Close-up of Dinobot II’s face.  His cyborg eye is now glowing blue)

Dinobot II:  Hmm…

Panel Three

(Basically an X-ray view of the horde.  We can see Tarantulus’s lair in the background, and we can see, through the X-ray vision, a very large, shallow tunnel going from that, underneath the horde)

TEXT BOX:  What’s that, a tunnel?

Panel Four

(Continued X-Ray shot, showing the tunnel leading up to Mt. St. Hilary‘s)

TEXT BOX:  And it leads…there?  But the only thing there is…

Panel Five

(Shot of Dinobot with a “Eureaka” look on his face)

Dinobot:  This battle is a sham.

Waspinator:  Eh?  Why lizzard-bot think that?

Dinobot II:  One lifetime of experience is hard to ignore, much less two.  Tarantulas has no interest in your protohumans.  That’s just a smokescreen to distract us from his true target.

Waspinator:  True target?

Panel Six

(Shot still similar to last panel)

Dinobot II:  The Ark.

Panel Seven

(Shot of Dinobot transforming and beginning to run away from Waspinator.  If there‘s not enough room, we can just have him run away in robot mode)

Waspinator:  Wait, where you going?

Dinobot:  To meet my destiny.

Panel Eight (Shot of Dinobot stopping, and looking back toward Waspinator)

Dinobot:  Do you think you can hold the line until Depth Charge and the others return?

Waspinator:  Waszzpinator…muszzt.  Thiszz home and Waszzpinator will defend it, no matter how many timeszz get blown up.

Panel Nine

(Shot of Dinobot walking away, he has a somewhat pained look on his face.  He knows Waspinator won‘t be able to hold out for long)

Dinbot:  Good luck, comrade.

[dberl]

Of COURSE Shockwave wants kids! Do you want those ginormous mammaries of his to go to waste?

I’ve noticed that no one is talking about the fact that the cybertronian characters in earth spark are immigrants and refugees (and the Terrans being firt gen immigrants poc) and how that fits into the writing of season 2, because that was one of my favorite parts of es, especially how the Terrans struggle with their sense of belonging and identity and their discontent from their culture and people, it felt so real, and it really made me connect with the Terrans, it seems like this part of the narrative is forgotten by most people like I never see anyone talking about it, and that sucks because it’s a big part of es and the general world building for it, I hope we see more of this in season two both the negative and positive aspects of how it affects the transformers.

But I’m not really surprised like a good chunk of the fandom is white and this part of the transformers media is often left on the way side, especially how the autobots are literally cops, they better show in season two how the autobots also are terrible and there’s no “good side” of this war

Especially with prowl being introduced and he’s a cop squared, and tarantulus also being there

[cozzzynook]

What if Springer finds out about his sire is when he's about to have his own sparkling, and the bittie has spider characteristics ?

Prowl is like ⊙⁠.⁠☉ when he receive the news via his son

I can hear jazz in the background right now laughing saying prowl you can’t get out of this one 🤣

The Prime of His Youth: Book V: Where There's Smoke: Ch18: Casualty

The door to the lab opened up, with the Black Widows pouring out. A great shadow loomed over the entrance, causing the Spiderlings to falter. Stumbling, falling, finding their legs weak. 2 of the wheeled Spiderlings transformed onto their wheels, but could not keep their balance long enough to get anywhere. They quickly faltered and listed, their legs barely able to stop from breaking as they struggled to keep them from falling.

"Last time you faced His gentle hand!" Victoria's great contralto bellowed, "Now you face His wrath!" The great, energy/gravity sword appeared in her right hand, with her left shoulder leading the way. A few of the Spiderlings managed to brace themselves with one hand, and transform a blaster in to the other. Victoria's gravity shield stopped all of the shots, with the Spiderlings quickly falling to despair.

The roof hatch opened up. Tarantulus peered out, only to find himself trapped in spiderwebs.

"Did he really think we wouldn't know where our escape hatch was?" Arcee asked, as Japheth landed on Tarantulus' head.

Tarantulus slammed into the ground, with Japheth's weight landing on top of him.

"You going to help him?" Charon asked from the shadows against the stone face behind them.

"He didn't need my help when he was Human." Arcee dejectedly replied, and then let out a heady sigh.

A pregnant pause followed before Charon spoke up, "We're cut-off, aren't we?" Arcee nodded, "Are His plans always like this?" she asked.

Arcee turned her head just enough to look at her out of the corner of her eyes, "He thinks about a lot more than He says." she said with finality, before looking forward again.

* * *

Victoria let her gravity wane, the strain of maintaining it getting to be too much for her. The Spiderlings struggled to their feet as Victoria's great sword struck three down with a single swing. Two of the motorcycles struggled to their feet, and dove into a transformation and sped off on their wheels. One of the helicopters managed to make it into a transformation, and start to rise into the air, slowly turning and moving as it did so. She then transformed and dropped to her feet when she had barely reached 20ft as Sirenia was flying above her. Sirenia quickly flew away as two of the motorcycle Spiderlings launched web lines at her. She was ensnared, and they started to pull her down as Victoria's colossal sword, (even by Cybertronian standards), cut them in twain.

The two motorcycles that had escaped were rushing towards the house. Which was not so much a tactical move, as it was a vicious one. That is where the non-combatants would most likely be. If Japheth had not planned this ahead of time.

* * *

Arcelia was instead watching through a telescope from the height of New Kalis' headquarters.

"Are you sure I shouldn't get involved?" Chromia asked, arms crossed, half turned away.

Roxana cleared her throat. Chromia turned just enough to look back at her, "The Wreckers don't call for backup, they call for clean up." she said with a brilliant smile.

"The Wreckers?!" Chromia exclaimed. "If they are here, we need to evacuate..."

"They are not." Arcelia neutrally dismissed.

Chromia gave Roxana a piercing gaze.

"Japheth typically likes to speak." she stated.

"Except this time." Chromia harshly stated. "Unless his Combiner cutting a few spiders in half with a single swing is a form of talking."

Roxana looked distraught.

"Master," Arcelia stated, pausing only momentarily, "will strike for the spark his sword, if his words don't work."

"So, what makes this one special?" Chromia asked, as the distant form of Victoria swung her great sword in the veiling gloom.

Roxana huffed, and looked away. "He's the most wonderful person I've ever met. When apart, my spark chambre burns for him..." She then trailed off.

"But?" Chromia harshly asked.

"But," Arcelia said, and once again momentarily paused to give the to give the others a chance to listen to her, "sometimes, violence is the only answer."

Roxana spoke while looking away, "You can't change the world... peacefully..."

"Depends on the world." Arcelia stated, "Master was covered by violence, but the people were peaceful."

Roxana finally turned around. "Unfortunately, that might be why they needed so much help."

"Finally starting to understand warfare." Arcelia dismissively stated.

* * *

Tarantulus landed hard on the ground. Japheth landed hard on him, and a moment later jumped off. He grabbed the hilt of his chainsword. As he picked it up, the scabbard transformed away. He seated itself in his hand, and he paused at how natural this felt. This was enough of a pause for Tarantulus to recover and roll away. He was quickly on his feet and holding a chainsword. It started to rev, and as it did, it started to glow of Energon. Japheth looked at it curiously. Tarantulus struck at him, and He parried it. Tarantulus moved into the parry and stood, 20 feet away, giving him a curious look, letting out laugh that temporarily distracted Japheth. He moved in for another strike, only for it to be parried again.

He let out another laugh, "You've got skill."

"I trained with the Wreckers." Japheth stated, "Apparently."

Tarantulus thrusted at him, only to be parried again. This time he used the momentum to get behind Japheth, only for the hatch to be closed above them.

"I don't know what you thought would happen." Japheth said, pointing his left arm transformed into a flamethrower at Tarantulus.

"Is this where I beg for my life?" Tarantulus wickedly asked.

"You already had a chance." Japheth stated, and the corridor glew a brilliant, dancing orange as the fire poured into Tarantulus' twitching, scorched body.

* * *

There was a knock on the hatch. "It's me!" Japheth shouted through it. Charon started to unbind her webs that were holding it shut. She pulled it open, and stepped back to let Japheth climb up. "Good work." He said to her.

"I think she deserves headpats." Arcee chided.

Charon was not sure how to react as Japheth reached over to gently pet her head. He stopped, pulled away, and she took a moment to relax.

"Feels good, doesn't it?" Arcee asked, and Charon looked at her, uncertain of what she should say, uncertain of what she wanted to say. "What's the plan now?" Arcee asked Japheth.

He transformed His hand into a path blaster, and walked up to the edge of the building. "Overwatch." He said, as He pointed his weapon down. He then dropped His arm, reverting his hand.

"Lose your nerve?" Charon nervously asked, and He gave her a stark look before it turned into a warm smile.

"Just a little late."

"Are you always late?" she asked, and then looked afraid.

Once again, He simply smiled at her, "Yes." He said warmly.

"His plans usually have fallbacks." Arcee stated, "If one part doesn't work, another will."

"How," Charon stated, and paused briefly to think it over, "prudent."

"That's Jack." Arcee said with a smile, a smile that disturbed Charon to her core. She developed her usually sardonic look, "When you work with Wreckers, you have to be... flexible..."

"That's not a problem for me." Charon simply stated.

"Oh, aren't you precious." Arcee said with a wicked smile.

Charon looked at Japheth, "Should I be worried?"

"Yes." Japheth firmly said, "Though, the worst case scenario tends to lead to the most happiness." He turned back down to Victoria who was waving emphatically at him. He waved a simple wave back at her.

* * *

Japheth leaned back on the couch and sighed, and then sat up, curiously looking back at it. He then looked around. "Why do we have a couch?"

"Why do you think?" Dust Up asked, as she sat beside Him, cuddling into Him. Arcee gave her a deathly glare. Dust Up patted the couch beside her. Rust Dust quickly sat on it, causing Arcee to roll her eyes. She sashayed up, and snuggled into Japheth's lap.

"Girls, please?" He asked.

"Did you want me to get up?" Arcee asked, and Japheth held her tighter. "That's what I thought. And the couches are because... Cybertron never had couches."

"You had to introduce them to us." Pyra Magna said firmly, and everyone looked at her, "What should we do now? Clean up?"

"Any volunteers?" Japheth asked, and then a pregnant pause followed, "That's probably a really stupid question." He paused for a moment, "Roxy?" She silently took a couple of steps towards him. "Hm?" He asked her.

"They are... all beyond my help." she uttered, pain dripping from every word.

"Rust Maidens." He stated, and Rust Dust immediately sighed.

"What?" Dust Up asked.

"We're on cleanup." Pyra Magna said, and turned to step away.

"Twins in overwatch." Japheth stated. "Make sure you don't get tangled up."

The rest of the Rust Maidens turned to join their leader, with Dust Up standing up from the couch, while Rust Dust leapt up.

He saw something out of the corner of his eye, and looked over to see Charon hiding in the shadows.

"Yeah, she likes doing that." Arcee sardonically stated.

Sirenia slumped down on the other side of the couch. "Funny for a spider to hide in the shadows." she sardonically added.

Arcee gave her a curious look.

"She learned it from watching you." Japheth warmly said to her.

Arcee continued the look at Sirernia for a moment before developing a shocked look, and looking back at Japheth. It couldn't be, could it?

"You're Japheth, aren't you?" Arcelia asked Him as she walked up.

"That's what they call me." Japheth deflected.

"No, it's you, isn't it?" Arcee asked, looking deeply into his eyes, getting lost in them.

"My memories are back." Japheth lightly voiced, "Mostly."

"I thought?!" Arcee exclaimed.

"He did not fight Unicron himself, but... his... blood?" Arcelia asked.

"That's not how it works." Roxana harshly said to her, and then immediately regretted it. Arcelia just gave her an expecting look, as if she did not even recognize the slight. "The wisdom of the Primes is stored as Energon." Roxana stated, "When that energy is used up, the wisdom is lost with it. It's, it's, it's?!.."

"Did you want me to spoil the ending?" Japheth asked.

"Ending?" Roxana entreated, and He simply raised his hand towards her, and then waved it dismissively.

"We all know that Smokescreen is a smokescreen." Japheth stated. "And that I'm a smokescreen for Smokescreen. And Smokescreen is a smokescreen for Golden Hind. But! Golden Hind is a smokescreen for Smokescreen!"

"I love you," Arcee said to him, looking deep into his eyes, "but I have no idea what you are talking about."

"It honestly sounds EXACTLY like Him." Arcelia non-chalantly stated.

"I'm just happy none of us got hurt." Roxana stated.

"One casualty." Japheth stated. Arcee looked over to Roxana, who simply gave her a look of non-recognition and then shook her head. "Up." Japheth said, gently pushing Arcee away from him. She gave him a heartfelt look, "It's important." He stated. Arcee sighed and then reluctantly stood up. She stepped back. Japheth stepped up, grabbed His sword. It transformed away the sheath, and He dropped it on the ground. Everyone looked at the char and breaks. Something occured to him, and He looked at Charon, "Do you know anything about Tarantulus' sword?"

[pocoslip]

Tarantulas sure Enjoys eating Transformers BUT What if he get Eaten too

(how do robots eat)

[noiizemaze]

Roughly judging by the way Tarantulas pulls webbing and hangs from the ceiling + the shape of her backplate, I’m thinking her spinnerets are tucked up under the lower edge of her dorsal armor in bipedal mode, since when she transformers the lower edge of the back plate becomes the bottom of her thorax. She’s got excellent flexibility in all of her ancillary legs and a 360 degree elbow joint rotation, so it’s not like it’s hard for her to reach it.

Tarantulus, on the other hand, fucking spits webbing because he’s a lunatic.

[miradanii]

Beast Wars first watch episode 26-28

Some very interesting turn of events. More thoughts below.

Ep 26

You know i think. Truce means more than just no weapons....like how is beating people up with your fists still a truce?

I expected Tarantulus to be burnt more to a crisp than just kinda burnt but really doesnt matter when he invades Black Arachina's brain. Pretty fucked up. More fucked up later.

I love the most backwards plan of Megatron spying on Taranculus to somehow make an escape pod, knowing said pod would destroy thr weapon in the sky with Optimus trapped inside. Its just wild ass planning that i love but also rip Optimus. Yeah i know he'll come back but that sucked.

Ep 27

Woo season 2! And costume changes!! Yayy! Changing the characters with the designs that didnt translate well to limited 3D. Obviously for new toys but like...yeah i think their Altmodes look better. I think Rattrap was okay but Cheetor kind of needed it. I will miss his pupils for expressions though.

Dkdjdjd jesus christ Rhinox.

AJDHFHRDH Megs has heelys on. His blades are sending me. Its so funny.

Ep 28

I was not intending to do another episode but the hand that reached up at the end of thr last episode got my curiosity going.

Dinobot episode yayy!

So its not the first time a Transformer got smashed into a cube. Its less horrific than how it happened with Blurr in Animated but sheesh this is why robots are so perfect to get away with any type of violence.

Imagine being born and choosing violence.

Yum, Dinobot plot stuff. I love it. Practically monologing.

Lmao Western homage moments.
