Will you be posting the link for the ao3 continuity au on this blog? It looks so good!!!

I will!! Also thank you ;Dc

I’ve been struggling a smidge with writing it, haven’t properly written a fic in YEARS, so I’ve been really combing over making sure these first 5 chapters are excellent ;]

[tfone-continuity-au]

The AU continues… wip so far, not the full thing

I’m grieving tfone sequels so OP gets to grieve his boy, we all lose \o/

[tfone-continuity-au]

I'm so delighted every time I see one of my favorite artists from years ago are now drawing something I am newly into. Your tf art is awesome!

Thank you ;D!!! Gosh you said years ago and I had to double take, as tis true. I’ve been around for 2.5 years now lol

It’s official, we’re not getting the sequal…

SOBBING

The whole point this AU was really “fuck you I’ll do it myself” but now it’s really is “fuck you I’ll do it MYSELF.”

Least it’s motivating me to finish those first five chapters…. >;|

CW: Robot Gore & Intense imagery

Wanted to dive in more on how Bee got his wings as well as what role Elita’s death played into it! These started out as comfort doodles because I love their familial dynamic and now I’ve ruined it, but this whole scenario has probably been… a regrettable favourite to outline and work with… I will cry when I have to actually write this scene out TvT

Also some older doodles exploring the aftermath and a bonus breakdown because I’m ✨pathetic✨

It takes a while before he’s able to adjust his wings properly into both his alt mode and his bot mode, they’re kinda an ugly scar he just deals with as he processes eveyrthing that happened.

This goes with a short comic, but I’m unsure if I’ll be able to line the whole thing or just post the sketch… so we may just do the sketch lol

[tfone-continuity-au]

Every time you draw tfone breakbee it makes my whole day to see it show up on my dash

;;A;; thank you,,,,, so much???

Part of me is a little self conscious about it, but that’s incredibly sweet of you,,, thank you for sharing this!! Definitely encouraged me to keep making them X3

[tfone-continuity-au]

Breakbee doodles! I wanna clean them up eventually and add context…. But first the fic…. First the fanfic XD

[tfone-continuity-au]

Wrapping up a 3D modeling project! It’s not done yet, still have to mirror it to the other wise and light it, but getting closer ;]

hello!! it's my first time ever asking a question on tumblr lol

I saw the animatic a few weeks back and I kinda forgot about it since I couldn't find this blog- fortunately, My Way got stuck in my head, which was a great reminder to try and find this again XD

anyways uh questions

What is the basic plot of this AU, and what prompted you to make it? (WHY DO BOTH BEE AND ELITA DIE ANSWER ME GRABS YOU BY THE SHOULDERS /silly)

Do you intend to make some sort of masterpost for this soon?

What program did you make the animatic on? And how long did it take you?

and uh yeah that's it :D

Oh my gosh hi ;D!! Welcome!! And yea dw I might’ve misplaced a hyphen or two in the animatic so that probably didn’t help lol

Anywho!! The basic plot for this AU is, of course, continuing where TFone left off! In specifics though, this all came from the simple idea of:

“What if Bee tried to fix the rift between Megs and Optimus during the war?”

With TFone giving Bee an actual relationship to D prior to the war, the idea he’d still try to fix things and mediate between them even as their situation devolves was a really appealing twist on the format to me.

So, the AU basically takes the war and history we know and interjects it with a “3rd party” mediation via Bee’s attempts as he kinda represents all the bots fighting regardless of the side. Finding bits of middle ground, compromise, rules of war, etc between the them even as it descends.

Starting from this testy alliance to defeat the Quintessons, to conflict and battles over land, resources, or control, until finally an all out civil war for rule over Cybertron.

It focuses heavily on the characters and their relationships with one another as the world caves in… and I’ll be bringing a fair good bit into this because character dynamics ;>

;D as for that middle question there… all I’m gonna say is trust me. I have agonized hours over those two scenes. Their deaths each mark a turning point in the war and are critical to story. Elita’s especially, but she gets alot of time in the spotlight before it and arguably one of the most important parts! She’s definitely become a favourite as I’ve been outlining and writing all this eheheh

Also there will be an alternate “happier” ending to this because even I’m coping LMAO

Also I do intend to make a masterpost! I didn’t expect the animatic to blow up so much and was unprepared for the popularity XD

I am currently writing the first 5 chapters for the fanfic that will accompany this and tell the bulk of the story. Once they’re done, it all goes live at once on AO3 to kick it off! Then I’ll pin the masterpost for everything with links/explanations ;]

I used Procreate for the art and LumaFusion Video Editor for the production of it! Was around 5~ months of work whenever I had the time to squeeze it in!

Thank you so much for your interest and reaching out ;Dc!!! Really makes me excited other people loved my nonsense as much as I adored making it!!!

I hope this answered your questions and feel free to ask if you or anyone else for that matter has any!! I love yapping about this nonsense Ehe

[tfone-continuity-au]

Is it bad that both came out first?

Metal Potatoes.

Think about it.

The potential this thing could have.

Metal french fries? Heck yeah

Metal wedges? Even better.

Metal Potato chips? That's revolutionary.

Cybertron should have metal potatoes

And that's the hill I'll die on

The exposition on metal potatoes is really selling me

However

We would have to convince them to actually eat the metal potatoes. Given… they’re not energon.

[tfone-continuity-au]

Potatoes

Metal Potatoes

What came first, the metal or the potatoes?

[tfone-continuity-au]

What’s your ao3 account

Just @Phlurrii !

Nothing is posted yet as I’m writing the first 5 chapters to all go out together ;3

Once they’re done I’ll be posting the fic and linking it here on tumblr with a pinned post briefly explaining my nonsense and what’s to come!

[tfone-continuity-au]

It’s been such a hot minute since I’ve been into shipping, it’s so refreshing to do some mushy stuff again ehe

Anyways finished that first chapter of the Fic for the Continuity AU, hoping to get the first 5 done and post em all together on AO3 \o/

In the meantime enjoy my favourite idiots

[tfone-continuity-au]

They occupy my mind a lot…

[tfone-continuity-au]

In the description of the animatic you have the name of the tumblr blog as @tf-one-continuity-au instead of @tfone-continuity-au ! You might want to fix that it took me a while to find you because of it

Fixed!!! Bro thank you so much ;D

[tfone-continuity-au]

Reception for the animatic has been wonderful so far ;D

Have an actually happy Optimus to assist in the coping, a very rare creature apparently Ehe
