Boromir I drew to practice painting backgrounds in acrylics ♥ He is sitting in the pine forest, since ....when I first time read LOTR (9 years old) I was sure his name was Czech/Slavic, meaning "peaceful pine forest" (since "Bor" means pine forest here and "Mír" means peace ....also this "-mir" is really common name suffix here :D)

hi! if you don't mind the question, what are the Constructicons's individual opinions on Devastator as a person? you mentioned some of Hook and Scrapper's perspectives on the matter, anyone else have any strong opinions on their "seventh?"

To preface, they don't really meet Devastator where he is; they all understand him more as this concept than anything else.

(I wanted to answer this in character because it's fun :-P)

(To Hook, Devastator is just a complex software.)

(Long Haul doesn't want to think about it right now (it's been 7 million years))

(To Scrapper, Devastator is akin to a son.)

(To Bonecrusher, Devastator is an instrument.)

(To Scavenger, Devastator is the shadow.)

(To Mixmaster, Devastator is an experiment.)

None of them are right, but none of them are wrong. It's weird.

And before you ask, no, their opinions on Devastator don't affect the combining process (unless it's too intense of a discomfort). The success of combination depends on unit cohesion, so as long as Scavenger thinks Bonecrusher is awe-inspiring, Hook keeps respecting Mixmaster's prowess in chemistry, and Long Haul keeps bottoming for Scrapper... They'll be fine.

(Ignore the typos <3)

Hunter, looking at his watch: It has been 2 hours and sixteen minutes since I’ve been insulted. Hunter: It’s been about 5 seconds since I’ve been assaulted, but let’s not talk about that.

scrapper and/or devastator for the character bingo? i really enjoy your thoughts on both of them!

Did you just ask about my favorite Constructicon (and, by proxy, my favorite TF character)? And did you just ask about my favorite combiner?

Also, going to be doing the rest of the Constructicons too since I was asked.

Any excuse to ramble, I guess.

Let's start with Scrapper boy because holy shiiiiit.

What can I even say without repeating myself? He's just THAT guy. An engineer, an artist, and a PSYCHO! Seriously, I am not reaching here; he fits into the "cultured psychopath" trope perfectly (think Hannibal Lecter). However, the thing that elevates Scrapper and gives his character a bit more texture is the fact that he is a truly modest and competent leader; unlike most generic psychos who get lost in their egos, Scrapper doesn't have that, nor does he have illusions of grandeur. He may be a true psycho and maniac, but that doesn't stop him from being a decent person, a good leader, and a model soldier. Perfect character.

Now I'll say, I'm very picky with Scrapper, and I'll say there's barely any people out there who truly get his character. What do I mean specifically? Well, some people either write him as a 100% remorseless and awful goon or a spineless soft leader who is just that nice... and maybe they gloss over the fact he puts BODY PARTS in his projects. Another crucial thing people miss is the fact that his modesty applies to his work, NOT TO HIS ART! HE LIKES TO GET PRAISED FOR HIS ART; IN FACT, HE RELISHES IN THAT PRAISE. He is an artist, after all; our food is compliments lmao.

Another take I see about him that is just... Uncalled for... Are people saying he's secretly insecure... I think you missed the point; go back to the drawing board. (Of course a character not being 100% confident all the fucking time is normal and healthy for your writing, but turning his modesty into some inferiority complex is... Questionable).

Either way, if they make a new TF show with Scrapper in it... They should contact me so I can write him.

NOW DEVASTATOR!!

It's a big robot.

It's a big robot that destroys everything.

It's a big robot that destroys everything, and it's a fusion of 6 smaller robots that turn into the coolest vehicles ever.

I think I've made my case clear.

Devastator was a "love at first combination" thing. It must've been my already existing love for Bruce and The Hulk, but daaaaamn the way I gravitated toward this guy was surreal, to say the least.

The nature of him being a combiner makes it so I don't have much value to add outside of appreciation for aesthetics and baseless headcanons.

I'll say, I don't like when people write him as SUPER mature. He has to be either a dumb brute or a dumb kid, but I'm not so picky with him because, like... less than 10% of fics have him (one day I'll find myself bored enough to make an actual chart or something).

I also liked his scenes in ExRID #38 and I love how Andrew Griffith draws him (he makes Long Haul's truck bed the thighs 😍...)

Bingo!!

Long-time followers know that Long Haul is my second favorite Constructicon.

Bingo!!

Nobody understands him like I do. NOBODY! I have an almost spiritual connection to this fictional robot I'm so fr rn.

I'm not going to talk AT LENGTH here, because I'd rather dedicate one post just for him (in the distant future of an inspiration burst, that is).

Though I'll say the concept of a guy who is physically bound to a career he hates and wishes to do something else, wishes to be valued, and seeks excitement he doesn't currently have in his shitty existence, but still remains in the same career because he knows everything goes to shit without him...It's just a good fucking concept.

I'll forever thank Bleszinski for making him a logistician in IDW 2019. Good lord, what an improvement!

(If you squint, you can see why I pair him with Dirge, except I enjoy Dirge's suffering.)

BONECRUSHER.

I've made a whole post about Bonecrusher already, and that's that; it has all the reasons he's awesome and barely anyone gets him.

He's just so fucking awesome, and his design is awesome as well. I just like these stoic types that have anger issues and violent tendencies, go figure.

He's... Awesome... *dies*

NOW MIXIE!!

Wanna hear a secret? He's the self-insert one.

Uuuuh, BINGO!!!

I love him so much, but for some reason I barely talk about him?? And it isn't some personal gripe like it is with Scavvy, my opinions very much align with everyone else's opinion about him... Maybe that's it, and I don't feel there's much to add to him in the public discussion as there is with the others.

Either way, I love this crazy guy who melts people into his mixing drum and cackles like a maniac. What more do you want, really?

One thing that bugs me is when people overdue his craziness into soap opera schmuck without consideration for him as a person and his agency. A little ableist, innit? (not targeted, btw, it is kind of common).

Dunno, maybe he is "crazy" and maybe everyone else and him are ok with it; what if then, uh? Maybe this isn't some burden; what if, uh? I'm sure there are other things to explore with him; be so fr.
