Imagine, if you will, an alternate universe where Optimus Prime’s alt mode is a VW Beetle BUT he still has the semi truck smokestacks!
(Inspired by true events).
Omg this is amazing

INTRODUCING RAVE AND NOVA
Like most of my settings, these two are from the IDW/MTMTE continuity. They are former decepticons who defected before the War was over (more info. will be disclosed later :D). Post War and they’re just trying to live a peaceful life, but that’s kind’ve hard when you ended up on the DJD’s list. Also, they are conjux ❤️
Individual Information
Rave:
pronouns he/him
worked in Communications before he defected
his age is equivalent to early 30s
he turns into a boombox (specifically the ION Audio Party Rocker Go HighPower Boombox Portable Speaker with Party Starter Lights Black iSP147)
he is 20 feet tall
he weighs 3,700 lbs
he will eat anything placed in front of him
he has pica, which is where one craves/chews substances with no nutritional value
despite his alt being a boombox, Rave is not that loud of a mech (he does have his moments)
also, despite being in Communications, he as social anxiety (he will persevere through it when the situation calls for it)
he took longer to convince to defecting from the ‘cons
^^despite this, he came up with the escape plan
he’s allergic to oil
dyslexic
the little spoon
^^but not the bottom *winky face*
fears ducks
he cooks like a white woman
Nova:
pronouns he/him
worked in SpecOps before defecting
his age is equivalent to early 30s
turns into a camera (specifically the Sony Alpha A6100)
he is 17 feet tall
he weighs 2,400 lbs
the more sensible of the two (he has his moments)
had to stop Rave from eating napkins once
the big spoon
^^NOT the top (another winky face)
also has social anxiety
^^also persevered through it when the situation required it
came up with the idea of defecting
he believed in the original cause of the decepticons, but as the War stretched on, he saw how they strayed from their original motivations and grew some major doubts
reads to Rave
fears needles
caught KOBD interfacing once
actually banned from the kitchen
cooks like a Victorian child discovering technology for the first time
More Information
the reason they defected was because they found out Nova was sparked
*in my AU, one does not get pregnant, rather when two (or more) mechs merge their sparks there is a 5% chance of getting sparked; mechs can also merge with the intent to create, and that raises the chance of a sparkling from 5% to 86%*
Rave initially wanted to name their child after Megatron, but Nova would not hear him out
^^they were then gonna name them Night Beat, only to discover that there was already a mech with that name
^^^they decided on the name Dead Beat, which they based on how they now viewed the current decepticon cause
Dead Beat is a femme
Rave and Nova are the best parents, although they do have dubious teaching skills
this little family does end up on the Lost Light
^^they had a really close call with the DJD which resulted in Rave getting badly injured
^^^once he was sure the DJD were no longer nearby Nova sent out a distress beacon, which was picked up by the Lost Light (who else lmao)
^^^^they were found and allowed aboard the ship; Rave was taken to the Medbay due to his injuries while Nova was taken to the brig out of precaution due to his intentions being unknown
^^^^^Nova had hidden Dead Beat under his armor when the ship initially touched down so no one knew there was a sparkling; when a member of the Lost Light’s high command came to check on their newest brig member, they were greeted with the sight of Nova having somehow equipped blankets guarding his kid, whom was asleep on his chassis
^^^^^^they were promptly taken to the Medbay where they got yelled at by Ratchet

Tada!! 🎉 I made another sona! (Or is it persona? Lol, but these are so fun!)
I know I’m supposed to be working on my fanfics but I got swept into another sona challenge & was in a Transformers mood 😅 I was already working on this before my fanfic ideas so don’t worry, I am working on some rough drafts! 👍🏽 I just thought I’d finish this over the weekend.
But it turned out super cool though! I think I’m finally getting the hand of drawing now, but this came out way better than I thought! Plus I think ref sheets are so cute ☺️ This took soooooooo long though, probably gonna take a little break. (Quick Side note: I do apologize for my handwriting, it’s not exactly the best but I tried to be neater 🙏)
VIRUS ALERT!!

Its the decepticon logo before I brutalized it for the background!! yipee!!!!
heatblades but make it tv girl!! <3
back at it again with my silly drawings again asfksksgjsk but man it has been a MINUTE since i’ve drawn anything. had a random urge last week to binge watch rescue bots again after forever and i forgot just how much i loved these two. also rediscovered this tumblr account and scrolled through @bonanza-7 ‘s heatblades masterpieces so yay to that. also been crazy obsessed with tv girl lately so thought i might do a little something with my faves as a comeback piece of art, inspired by tv girl’s album cover. hope y’all like it!! <3
here’s the original tv girl album cover!!
Ok so it is implied in my mind that any human on the lost light would be zippin around on roller skates. And when on roller skates you can theoretically hold onto the back of a vehicle to ZOOM ( = skitching = skate + hitching.) So THE QUESTION IS silly little headcanons for a human reader skitching w Rodimus / Tailgate / Swerve my beloved / anyone w a vehicular alt mode? Idk I just thought that would be fun :3
new uh, format I think. hopefully, this works. anyways this was really fun and they're a little short bc I struggled writing something different for each one, but I'm very happy with it
[ human!reader
post includes: Rodimus, Tailgate, and Swerve]
MTMTE Rodimus
oh you're gonna have to hang on real tight
when you said zoom, that's exactly what this guy is gonna do
tries to get you to do tricks as you're skitching, did not go well the first time (he skid to a stop you crashed face-first into him)
after that he was a lot more careful and gave you a heads up
He still tries to get you to do tricks though, you both impress the rest of the crew quite often
It quickly became this favorite thing to do after the first time, constantly coming up to you and transforming with a "need a ride?" and happily agreeing when you're the one to ask him.
Probably gets a little jealous when you ask someone that isn't him
Expect a lot of close calls but he would never get you hurt on purpose, Ultra Magnus begs you to wear some kind of protective gear
MTMTE Tailgate
Originally hesitant when you asked him, are you sure you want to go with him? What if you get hurt, he'll never forgive himself??
After plenty of reassurance though, he agreed and found it quite fun
Laughing and giggling as you two travel along the halls together, very cute 10/10
Cue Cyclonus watching you two with intrigue, zooming away with wide smiles on your faces, he too tries to hide a small smile at the scene
something tells me he drives in little circles to be silly
If you get hurt somehow he starts panicking and accidentally transforms back to pick you up and ask if you're okay. The only problem is that he forgets you were still attached and you go shooting up into the air
very normal and civilized skitching buddy but will zoom through the LL if you ask him to
MTMTE Swerve
He desperately wishes you could deliver drinks with him around his bar while skitching, how cool would it be if you two just drove around and handed bots their drinks one after the other?
So excited though, also has a lot of fun as you join him and cruise with him around the ship
He for sure convinces you to be silly around the ship, messing with Magnus or other bots and just as quickly leaving the room unnoticed
I think he also accidentally transforms while you're still holding onto him. You're like, screaming as you hold onto him for dear life and he keeps turning around in circles trying to find you (you swinging around and begging for him to stop moving)
Despite all the silly shenanigans, he still obviously goes out of his way to make sure you're safe and comfortable.
Probably tells you about the latest drama or stories as you're cruising around to keep you entertained, also because Swerve tells you everything
hey love! could you do hc’s for tfp! Optimus, Ratchet, and Smokescreen celebrating their human partner graduating highschool? <3
[human!reader post includes: TFP Optimus, Ratchet, and Smokescreen]
arghh hopefully these are good, struggled a bit with these but this was a nice prompt. Finally getting back into writing :3
Optimus Prime
Optimus is literally the sweetest. At first, he doesn't understand what graduation really means but as soon as you explain it he is beyond proud
Doesn't exactly get the cultural significance of graduation on Earth, but congratulates you for your achievements with a lil smile
Primes don't party but for you...yeah maybe he's willing to. Just a little
If no one does it first, he suggests having a little get-together at the base to celebrate (which shocks everyone) It's really important to him that you get recognition for your hard work
balloons and a poster labeled "Happy Graduation (insert year)" with little pictures drawn by the other Autobots
you know what he probably gives you an inspirational speech
After the celebrations, he offered to give you a drive in his alt-mode. The two of you cruised around late afternoon or night, either chatting or enjoying the calm silence. He was curious about what humans do for this event and asked you questions about it, as well as whether or not what he planned was good enough. If you asked, he'd be more than happy to tell stories about his own experiences; it reminded him of the academies back on Cybertron.
In private, he will not stop gushing about how well you did. Very soft very soft
Ratchet
Another one where you kinda have to explain what it means. He's honestly impressed and congratulates you. Recalls when you would come back from your studies exhausted and relieved you no longer have to deal with highschool
Of course brags to the rest of the team. Look at his partner, look at their accomplishments, now!!
Not a fan of big parties either and suggests a small celebration, possibly between the two of you since he's one to value privacy.
He gives you the choice to choose how you'd like to spend your day. He's happy with taking you for a drive, or just settling down somewhere scenic for a bit of relaxation for the rest of the day
wants to surprise you with a small simple gift, asks the trio for advice very discretely (they are going to tease him for the rest of their lives)
He actually cares so much about you and is genuinely proud, good job y/n thumbs up
Smokescreen
ooh this mech is so hyped, immediately wants a big party at the base and will drive you to and from your graduation
if you agree to it, you're definitely having a grand entrance btw. He wants to SHOW YOU OFF!!
He so badly wanted to go up there and just hug you to his chassis, but watching from his alt-mode would suffice. His engine would rev whenever it was your turn and you couldn't help the small smile
The type of person mech that wants fucking,, fireworks, party, music, etc
if that's not your thing, that's fine. Insists on taking you on a drive too and really show off the fact that he's a sports car (do not drive on populated roads, you will get a ticket) You two soon find yourself screaming with laughter as the wind blows through your hair
if you do agree to a party he's going all out, so so so proud
Brings you up to his faceplate with infinite praises
HI GUYS!! still working on a couple headcanons but requests are open again :D
I made these at work today. I feel I did my vision justice.
I made these at work today. I feel I did my vision justice.
Good fucking day, Robot enjoyers! Gaze upon the updated semi-accurate height comparison of Bumblebee across the multiverse.
This is an updated version of a chart I made a few months ago. I had gotten some feedback and then TFOne came out and I kinda had to update it. I also added a Gen 1 Optimus Prime for scale, for fun... no other reason...
I am also working on at least two more character charts and one universe chart, so hopefully I can finish those soon (for some fucking genius reason I decided to do the characters that show up EVERY FUCKING UNIVERSE so I'm s u f f e r i n g)
Listed Heights, Explanations, and Justifications below the cut, bc you couldn't shut me up if you tried and I had shit to say.
Gen 1 - ~10 feet (TFwiki says greater than 3 meters so I rounded up to the first whole number because round)
Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~10 feet (He looks identical to Gen 1 so... the reason his photo looks weird is because I couldn't find a good full body photo with him standing straight up facing the camera so I put two images together to make the worst looking photoshop job you have ever seen)
Earth Spark - ~10 feet (There is no confirmed height yet, but using this screen shot (see below) of him standing in front of a barn door, I was able to make a reasonable guess, bc I'm so smart.)
Animated - 13 feet (There is no actual given heights, but in the comments of the previous version, @phoenix-inanis told me that they had done their own analysis of TFA heights and, gonna be real with you, I am blown away by all of their work and how detailed it is. Go marvel at how much work they put in -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4 )
One V1 - ~13 feet (I am well aware of what the TFWiki says: 26.429 feet. And I fully reject that number. A: These numbers are sourced from the Walmart Promotional AR Experience that came out before the movie. B: There are three decimal points, and that number does not convert into a whole number in meters (which is originally what I thought was weird about it). C: The director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon, and Bumblebee in both sets of LA movies does not exceed 20 feet tall. Ever. So, for sanity's sake, I have used the KCV numbers as my baseline. Bee grows when he gets his t-cog so shrink this one down a few feet. Look, I'm working on the Optimus chart rn, and one of the numbers from Beast Wars on the wiki was very observably wrong, and if I can dispute numbers older than me, I can dispute numbers 2 decades younger than me from fucking Walmart. Also, yes, his picture is 3 images sandwiched together)
One V2 - ~15 Feet (Please see reasoning above. Since this is as tall as we see Bee get, he's the same height as KCV Bee. Sweet fuck, I have put way too much effort into this shit)
Knight/Capel-Verse - 15 feet (No actual numbers, but Mirage is stated to be 15 feet tall (TFWiki), and he and Bee are like the same height, so... Capel directed the ROTB movie if you're wondering why his name is there)
Bayverse V1 - 16 feet (TFWiki. This is like the first 3 movies minimum, I don't remember when he hits his growth spurt. Also mr bay is king, we have numbers for nearly every character in BV)
Cyberverse - 18 feet (I'm gonna be honest, the only info we have is from a really shitty screen shot of a magazine. SO if any one has a copy of this book from the video below, a high quality scan would be greatly appreciated and I will kiss the ground you walk upon. Yes I found the video where the screen shot comes from leave me alone)
Bayverse V2 - 18 feet (TFWiki. Movie 4-5 I can't remember which one, I'm not re-looking this up. I fucking love the bayverse tho, this is the only universe with concrete and consistent this-character-is-this-height info)
Aligned Cont. WF/FOC - 20 feet (TFWiki/Fandom. Video game info screens you godsend, kiss me sweetly)
Aligned Cont. TFP/RID15 - 21 feet (Ok, yes I got this number from fandom and they give literally no source for where they got these numbers. But, I can fully believe these are accurate. Just by looking at these characters on the show I can verify these numbers in my mind. Here, let's Compare.
This is Sam compared to Bee from one of the BV movies, I'm too lazy to check which one. Sam is average size for a human and we know Bee is 16 feet tall in the first three movies. Checks out. Let's now look at a TFP Character who is also 16 feet tall.
Jack is average size for a human, and the size difference is about the same. Can you see why I can't question the Aligned heights, even if they don't have a source??!?! They specifically made this universe to be full of freakishly tall robots for some fucking reason.)
Not Pictured: Aligned Cont. Rescue Bots and Rescue Bots Academy Bumblebee - 21 Feet tall. Look, did you want to see all 5 versions of ALC Bee? No, you don't. They're all the same height anyway; the back row would have just been a wall of redundant yellow. 5 different fucking art styles in one universe, why is that one my favourite.
Here's the front row and the back row separated into their own jpgs. I know it's kind of hard to tell which Bumblebee is which when they're all together.
They’re such boyfriends
When I first saw it back when I was young, this was some of the coolest art I had ever seen. Nice to know it still holds up (particularly the dinobots fighting the insecticons - IN SPACE- in the first one, although Optimus obviously started working out following his appearance in that second picture :D )
The first and third pictures above were painted by Jeffrey Mangiat, the second one by David Schleinkofer, and I've done some digging but unfortunately can't confirm who painted the last one.
Regarding the Valkyrie, it's there because it was a redeco (recolour) of a licenced Macross toy made by Takatoku toys, purchased by Bandai after they went under in 1984 and licenced to Hasbro to include in the Transformers line around 1985 (as at the time Bandai didn't have a big presence in the Americas, so it was easier for them to licence their moulds to other companies).
Of course, there were inevitably licencing issues as time went on, so Jetfire (the toy) was renamed to Skyfire in the original comics/animated series, and heavily restyled!
If you want to know more, you could do worse than checking out the transformers Wiki (though if you're anything like me, you'll end up link surfing for hours...)
Having seen one in person, genuinely one of the coolest toys I've never owned!
Key Box Art from the first four years of Transformers, 1983-1987.
went to the grocery store today and i was very pleased by their pride cake selections
