designs for a Transformers horror AU thing I was working on but shelved for the time being to work on my other main tf au project.
Thought I just shared these freaks without context. rest of the art and writing for this project prob not gonna be posted until/if I start working on it again.
Bonus little dude, he a part of a diagram explaining some lore but it doesn't make a ton of sense without knowing other lore from this AU I haven't shared.

I always see things on here about Ben's muteness and how it's gonna bite him in the ass one day, like if he ever is in danger and isn't able to scream or ask anyone for help. But, I raise you all an even sadder scenario.
Imagine Ben being the only one to notice a potential threat endangering someone in the group, particularly someone like Aiden or Taylor who Ben cares a LOT for. Imagine he is maybe somewhere behind the group and has a better view, or maybe he's just the first one to notice, but either way, someone he cares about is moments away from getting jumped by a phantom and getting seriously injured or even dying, and one of three things could happen:
Due to his muteness, he doesn't say a word. He tries to get their attention by making a bunch of noise or waving his arms around, but they just don't notice him, and he watches as one of the people closest to his heart is ripped apart while he could do nothing to warn them.
He decides that, if there is ever a time to forgo his muteness for the good of his friends, now is that time. He warns them, and they end up okay, but the whole group is a little put off by the sound of Ben's damaged, gravelly voice. Meanwhile, Ben is in pieces, haunted by how disgusting and horrifying his voice sounds, so much so that he can't hardly look any of his friends in the eyes for the rest of the day. It fills him with rage and shame that he can't just have a normal voice like everyone around him. Why did he have to be different?
And lastly, my personal favorite, and by far the angstiest, is that Ben decides to use his voice to warn his friends, but after so many years of not using it, no sound comes out. He was relying on them being able to hear him, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't get out a sound above a whisper. He's doing everything possible in his power; screaming, crying, begging, but nothing gets through. His screams are silent as he watches someone he cares for more than anyone in this world get torn apart because he was too angry and depressed to speak for so many years after he got attacked. If he had just gotten over it, got back into talking, and made the recovery everyone wanted him to have, his friend would still be standing there. But they aren't, because Ben failed to protect them.
