Part 6 of Lara shows off her old Transformers drawings!

The Minicon I made and her alt-mode. She specifically transformed into a shield.

The only drawing I have of Windblade.

Slipstream and I think it's Thundercraker?

Optimus(?) and Rodmus.

Starscream and Jetfire (I don't remember what this scene was supposed to be)

I don't remember the name of these, but I think it was supposed to be the female Combiner? Yeah, I don't remember the name either TwT

Buckets and Groove.

I hate these proportions...😭

These are the first drawings I made of the main four at the time.

Baby Dee is just so little. He’s so tiny. Whenever he doesn’t want to be held do they have to tie some sort of tree branch to him so they can keep track of him. Just a large stick bobbing along as he explores.

they proly installed a tracker on him at somepoint

[blighted-lights]

i think it'd be rlly funny if ravage and minimus hated each other btw. the only reason they get along is bc of their mutual connection to megatron. and even that isn't enough sometimes lmao

Where do the names "Autobot" and "Decepticon" even come from? Are there any sort of root words that go with them?

Dear Etymology Enthusiast,

This answer is complicated by language barriers that span galaxies. As Galvatron alluded to—albeit in tones I would never use—Cybertronian words can be very linguistically dense; a translation that conveyed every nuance of our equivalent for "Autobot" would take over seventeen minutes for a human to say! As such, "Autobot" and "Decepticon" are only approximations of the neocybex names of these factions.

In many universes, my faction is named for the ideals of freedom and autonomy—hence, "Autobot" is derived from the term "autonomous". Sometimes this reflects a casting off of Quintesson rule or triumph over a caste system, but in other contexts—sometimes simultaneously—it reflects a darker facet of Cybertronian history. A famous bot once said that autonomy was a gift, a spark of sentience kindled by Primus himself. That bot's name was Nova Prime, and he used that belief to justify the subjugation of hundreds of alien worlds.

The suffix translated as "-bot" encompasses ideas such as "person", "individual", "independent agent". It could be considered an adaptation of the common English-language "man", of course—you might be familiar with the Aerialmen, the Dinomen, and the Sparkamen—but "bot" conveys that it most commonly refers to mechanical lifeforms. While typically used in the names of teams and factions, occasionally an individual might be called "Dinobot" or "Dreadbot"; such sobriquets can be seen as similar to a human being carrying a family name as their first name, such as "Jackson".

As for "Decepticon"… much has been said of the phrase "you are being deceived." In many universal clusters, this is indeed the earliest origin of the term. "Decepticon" suffers to a greater degree from the imperfections of localization. In many universes, Cybertronian language uses nuances related to subject and object that fail to translate, especially when neologism is concerned; "Decepticon" principally suggests "deceptive" in English, but in its original Cybertronix, the waveform can simultaneously be read as "the deceived".

The "-con" suffix is not dissimilar to "-bot", though it carries subtly but significantly different implications. "Person" is an adequate translation, but its meaning is much broader, not being restricted to living creatures; you may know of data-cons, information storage devices commonly used in my home reality. The closest equivalent to the suffix in your language would be "entity"—or, more bluntly, "thing". As such, the translation "-con" is derived from your language's "construct", a created object or idea.

The reasoning for the use of this suffix varies across the multiverse. On versions of Cybertron where Functionism took hold, Cybertronians of lower labor castes, or with alternate modes considered fit only for use by others, were more likely to have "con" names or be assigned categories like "Constructicon", "Agricon" or "Recordicon". Conversely, in universes where the Decepticons originate as a military junta, the use of "-con" carries the suggestion of component; all Decepticons are considered to be a part of Megatron's war machine. These implications, of course, carry over to the Mini-Cons. While I am proud to count Safeguard as a friend and partner, for much of my world's history, Decepticon and Autobot alike treated his kind as "smart tools", as mere objects to be collected. Regardless, the Great War created extreme political polarization of the "-con" suffix, and nearly no self-described Autobot adopts it; even as Decepticons freely use "bot" to describe themselves, "con" is almost exclusively used by Autobots as a term of animosity.

One more suffix you may have heard of is "-tron"; here, the root is "positron"—which, before the introduction of microscope alt-modes, we simply understood to be the stuff of sparks. The Cybertron factions of realities like the G1 World and BT World draw their names from a well of indigeneity; unlike the invading, colonizing Quintessons, the Cybertrons are the true sparks of the planet and derive their name thus. The Destrons, then, are destructive sparks who oppose the planet. Naturally, "-bot" and "-con" recur in these worlds too, following similar etymological patterns.

Rumble: "Okay, firefly, now that you’re on the Nemesis, there are a lot of big Con's that can kill you."

Frenzy: "Yeah, and we won't always be here to defend you."

Rumble: "So if you ever get in a fight, aim for the knee joints."

Frenzy: "Or the optics!"

Rumble: "Or kick ‘em in the—"

Danny: "Or I can just phase into someone’s chest and threaten to pull out their spark."

Rumble & Frenzy: ...

Frenzy: "Bro, we need to step up our game."

I'm keeping the fact that Megatron has a High Chance of contributing to saris DNA in my tfa babysitters au, and so, the round about personality I have given him once I get to That Part will be, "fuck you mean I can't give her energon she's MY Bitlet, and My Bitlet needs All of her Nutrients."

The first time she's kidnapped is a disaster on all sides.

Armada starscream if he went to the Earthspark universe and meets the terrans

"I've only met these terrans for a solar cycle and a half, but if anything happened to them, I will destroy everyone in this universe and then myself"

[mrmeepsmadmind]

they are ignoring my big beautiful pathetic himbo wife and his cute little platypus tail that he has for some tank part reason im too dumb to understand why

[abbies-rescuebot-stuff]

Tag yourself, I’m a dinobot!

My gift for @random-kido for the @secretsolenoid-revived gift exchange! ❄️☃️🌨️

I hope you enjoy!!

Part 5 of Lara shows off her old Transformers drawings!

Optimus (Orion) and Elita (Ariel). Ariel was a singer before she became Elita One in my version of the character. She and Optimus share the dream of changing Cybertron into a better world with their own voices and actions, peacefully.

Someone found some Dark Energon...👀

Starscream and Jetfire again.

The Protectobots!

Breakdown being a good boyfriend to Knock Out.💙❤️

I have a preference for First Aid ok?? LET HIM BE LOVED!!!

Arcee and Cliffjumper because they need more love.

Transmutate being cute and trying to fit in with the other Predacons. Well, at least Rampage is willing to be their friend. Also yeah, I based this design on a recolor of Prime Arcee.

Bumblebee and a Mini con I made! I don't think I gave her a name.

[gaijinink]

I think I now know why I like Koraidon(This logic also applies to Miraidon)

[tinydefector]

YEEEEEEEES-!

THANK YOU FOR THIS BLESSING!

Okay okay okay. So!

What if.... We were the size of a minicon?

Maybe we got zapped by a big-i-fy ray, or got drenched by some type of chemical that made us bigger.

Just IMAGINE it. What chaos ensues?

Ps. You can choose what type of continuity.

This actually had me giggling because umm minicons and humans are actually very similar in size. With Rewind being probably the one who's the tallest of the lot in this collection

And all I can think of is what the minicons get up to with the humans. I can definitely see Rumble taking the opportunity to dance with a human, they may not have the same types of dances as Humans but he finds it rather nice to have someone his size he can dance with.

Rewind and his human tag teaming Chromedome, all I can say is the mnemosurgery may have a size kink involving getting dommed by mini bots/humans, he enjoys not having to be in control, and Rewind loves recording it.

Frenzy curling up with a human and just enjoying getting to be the big spoon for once and loving it. Becuase he's so used to everybots treating him differently due to his size so he enjoys getting to hold someone.

But I also like that fact that alot of humans reach most mid sized bots we reach their hips to pelvis give or take, since I'm using my height for this . So when they hold us we look like a disgruntled cat slinky.

Update some of my other favourite height piece of humans ans cybertronian in some of the continuations.

FORTY YEARS!

As we reluctantly trudge into 2025, that means we've had FOUR DECADES of Transformers toys released globally with no breaks. So for January's Patreon-backed @tfwiki picture update, let's check out some toys from each of the major franchise chunks across TF history! Strap in!

I know it's an odd choice, but G1's representative is 1993's Europe-only Lightformer DEFTWING. But I think it's a fine example of TF's subteam gimmicks, the franchise's longevity even before the nostalgia boom, global reach, and its ever-evolving aesthetic.

(And as an personal-type note, this completes the Lightformers/Trakkons on the wiki, toy-pic-wise. Finally, all user-provided pics rather than crunchy old book scans. I love it when I can complete a team/theme like that.)

Beast Wars was a drastic change meant to save a dying line. And boy oh boy did it do that. Toys like 1997's B'BOOM mix "realistic" animal styling with super-posability and play gimmickry. Oh, also? This guy, a bit bigger than a modern Voyager, was $15. How's that make ya feel?

Car Robots/Robots in Disguise translated BW tech into classic TF Earth-vehicle alt-modes... with varying levels of success. WILDRIDE, aka X-BRAWN, here in a con-exclusive clear "transitional" state from regular to "Super" mode, is one of the better attempts.

The "Unicron Trilogy" really pushed toy-play gimmickry, and Armada's Mini-Cons are easily the best representative of the era. And Armada BLACKOUT (here in Powerlinx colors) embodies the versatility of their play pattern, with dedicated interactions with Demolishor.

The live-action movies were also a huge change in TF toys, both refining complexity and working some interesting gimmick & design challenges. 2007's DROPKICK is from the tie-in video games, and is a fun angry dude. The Bumblebee movie guy too? Maybe! Why not?

Animated's radical aesthetic shift had BW levels of immediate rejection followed by sudden glowing (and deserved) praise. SAMURAI PROWL shows off the tight coordination between the show and toy teams, making a complex design into a dang fun toy!

Prime kicked off the "Aligned" era, a massive reboot that formed the foundations of TF mythology going forward. New bots kept coming like AIRACHNID, here in her TakaraTomy "Arms Micron" release. And like other newcomers, proved popular enough to jump to other series!

Cyberverse used "evergreen" designs in a further shift to more kid-aimed TFs, which had started after Prime with Rescue Bots and Robots in Disguise 2015. ALPHA TRION embodies this with a much chunkier, simpler, action-gimmicky toy.

And now it's EarthSpark, focused on a new generation of TFs... but not all of them are nice! Chaos Terran SPITFIRE embodies the increased number of female TFs in the line... and the longstanding practice of redecoed toys as new characters, being a recolor of Twitch.

40 dang years. And I'll keep on going through it to bring more toy pics throughout its wide history for as long as I can. If you like these explorations and want to help out, consider contributing to my Patreon! Every little bit helps. You can find it at
