scav thing

first half of my drawings for this year’s @tf-bigbang !! I was partnered with @wendy-comet who wrote a fantastic fic of the scavs deciding to raise the firstborn (purple baby from the IDW comics)!! here are some photos from their family album!!🥰

THIS IS SO FUCKING GOODD (and SILLY)

Love the art in this a lot!!

Here’s that one thing I did a while ago! Written by my friend Roberto Martinez, and drawn/colored/lettered by me. It’s called “Grimlock Goes to the Store” featuring a very G1 Grimlock and the Scavengers. Please enjoy this silly little comic! :’D

Of the opinion that Misfire and ROTB Mirage would be like the bestest buddies

happy bday (a day late nooo) to me special secret menu item guy @robofaggy

Read this fic a bit ago and it's literally the cutest fucking thing ever, just 6 cons, an Autobot, and their stupid little purple baby child

Plus all the little family photos sprinkled it, aaaghh so good

I can finally post these!

This was my entry (and two sticker designs) for @leviathanzines decepticon zine, and was simultaneously the most fun and the most frustrating piece of art I’ve worked on for a long time.

I HAD THIS EXACT SAME IDEA, I EVEN HAD THE SHITTY SKETCH I DID AT 1AM WITH ME, IVE JUST BEEN TOO LAZY TO CLEAN IT UP DIGITALLY 😭😭😭

sobbing rn but also this is beautiful op, my exact vision and even better with the stupid little grimlock, I love it asjkhdjksahdjk

IM SCREAMING IM SCREAMING IM SCREAMING IM GOING INSANE, THIS IS LIKE A POST FROM WAY BACK 2015 BUT OH MY GOD IM SO GLAD THIS FOUND MY DASH

I OVE THIS SO SO MUCH, KROK JUST LETTING IT ALL OUT ON MEGATRON LIKE THAT???? HES SO?? THATS SO FUCKING- OH MY GODDD

GOD, look, I thought them meeting Megatron and being all wide-eyed and in awe in LL was cute but now I'm just thinking how fucking powerful and good it would be if the series had more time to marinate and explore this concept

Like yeah, in reality, I think the Scavs SHOULD be mad at Megatron, they're a representation of the Decepticon rank and file, the disposables, mere cannon fodder during the war... and their leader does what? Give all that up and decides to join up with the Autobots, wearing their insignia as if the millions of years of revolution and words he spouted at them to fight meant nothing??? that sucks man

GODDDD, ONCE AGAIN I LOVE THIS SO MUCH (and pop the fuck off Krok, thats my fucking GOAT)

Okay but consider this:

The Scavengers on the Lost Light.

Now, I could go down the humourous lane, you know, with Skids not wanting to lose face and pretending Misfire really IS is arch-nemesis (and Mifire enjoying that a little too much, though who is that mech anyway? Did he ever get a drink with him?), or Spinister helping out in the medbay (”Don’t shoot that! We need it!” “It’s looking at me funny!”), and all that good stuff.

But let’s be serious for a second: let’s have them come face to face with Megatron.

Grimlock growls at him, because something in his shattered cerebro-cortex reminds him that this one is bad. It takes the whole W.A.P. crew to keep him somewhat calm (ie. just growling and no fire-breathing).

Spinister is confused: there’s something not right with this picture. He’s not sure of a lot of things (that the whole isn’t glaring at him, that the lamps aren’t mocking him), but Megatron being their leader, Megatron being on their side is something he’s sure of! So this…. this isn’t right.

Misfire goes into his usual chatter. Only instead of forming really long sentences, he keeps breaking them, making incoherent strings of words and pointing at their ex-leader’s chest. This is his version of being speechless. And very distressed. For those who know him, it’s super disturbing to see the happy-go-lucky jet this way.

Crankcase’s feelings are so vitriolic, he’s feeling sick. He took the DJD right on because he believed that the badge was his, not theirs. And now more than ever, he’s feeling like he needs to defend that. The normally loud-mouthed mechanic just shakes silently. He does put a hand on Misfire’s shoulder, though. Because.

Fulcrum should be afraid, could be angry, instead he’s bitter. So this is the grand leader he was born under? The one he was told would lead them to greatness and gelactic conquest. The one that led him to full-body restructuration and impending death. The one that led himself into the Autobots’ rank? He’s always accepted the values of his faction -his culture?-, not knowing anything else as he was born under them. And then he took a stand because a bunch of misfits showed him that these values weren’t that theoritical after all. He’s always accepted Megatron’s worth at face value, not having seen him in action back in the days. And then he met him, an Autobot badge wedging a line between them with much more effectiveness than rank or power. The crew he’s part of is worth sacrificing himself for them, this mech is not. The techie grits his denta, glaring down at the floor.

Krok just stares silently. Expression unreadable.

The whole of them are accepted on board, more or less blending in the general craziness. The longer they stay, the more the crew learns about their adventures, their stories… their struggles…. Megatron hears all that. And, one night, as he’s walking down the corridors because he can’t recharge, he ends up at the observation deck. And Krok is there. Looking at the stars, probably trying to figure out where his old unit is.

Megatron approaches him and, awkwardly, asks how the Scavengers are finding themselves.

This is when Krok let’s it rip. He doesn’t pull a gun on Megatron, oh no, he uses on his ex-leader the very same weapons that made him the figurehead of the Decepticons: words.

“My crew are the ones you have never seen, Megatron, the ones you sent off to be killed each day in the name of your revolution. And like so many like them, they went on each time you gave the order. Because they believed in your ideals, they believed in you. No matter what horrors they saw, no matter how insignificant they knew they were to you, in the end your words, the ones that stood against the senate and the low life they had, were enough to make them dive right into battle. For you.

You, the revolutioner with a vision. You, the gladiator with the power. You, the one that left them behind. And now you enquire about these people?

This isn’t just about being left on the battlefield, too. You turned your back on us to what? Atone for your mistakes? Well then, maybe you should start by making up to the ones whose life you changed so drastically. Because the Autobots? They might be the “good guys” from some people’s perspective, but they weren’t counting in you like we did. And everybody seems to be forgetting that fact, you the first, Megatron.

Out there, there is and army of desperate civilians that turned into bloodthirsty soldiers  and they are now left in a daze. There are camps full of walking woundeds whose future are compromised by unrepairable wounds. There are people that you made move as one by sheer belief and then stood up for something better. Or just something “good”, because, apparently, we’re the bad guys and have been fighting eons while knowing full well how wrong we were.

You want to take responsibility, Megatron? Take. It. But all of it.”

Somehow, during his tirade, Krok started facing Megatron, advancing more and more on him until they were nearly chest to chest. Well, chest to faceplate, because Megatron is so big. It’d be almost funny if it wasn’t for the Scavenger’s optics.

Not an ounce of fear in them. Only righteous fury.

And Megatron, who back in the days would have turned him into slag for his insolence, now can only take in just how much he’s truly failed his people.

this is so sweeetttt

When the Necrobot met his No.1 fan.

my boyssss, love this op!! cool art!!!

[Scavengers Mandalorian/Star Wars AU]

[I can't believe this nearly took me a year to finish, omg ;-;. But I did it! It's done!! It's weird seeing how I improved vaugely through the months? Started with Crankcase, then Spin and Krok, to Fulcrum, then finally Grims and Misfire. Looking back there's some things I definitely would change about some of the designs, but ultimately it's good enough I think. Also, trying to translate their frame colors into armor/clothes was certainly... something. So uh, sorry if their color schemes look wonky?? Idk. I'll post the sketches later as well since I think those turned out pretty neat :D]

YESSSS... GOD YES

gonna ramble a little more because my brain is processing it better now aha but...

They're such silly little guys who are almost always the bottom of the barrel in whatever continuity you'd put them in I bet (except for that one time Spinister was a DJD member in Earth Wars for some reason lmao???), that sometimes they deserve to be special and in other times, them being losers who GET to be special means a whole fuckin lot to me 💗

Like idk, in some cases it'd be for the funnies like that idea for Misfire but really considering the Prime idea for Krok???? that shit would BANG, not only would it be a little funny but I just think having this really unsuspecting genericon whose usually seen as little more than cannon fodder, who's at the same time one of the few decepticons who cares deeply about the crews that he leads, become a prime LIKE THAT WOULD BE SO INTERESTING AND COOL

Also also, twitter op there is so right about the "krok isn't a fighter, only a fighter when its the last option" LIKE!!! My exact fucking thoughts bro, great minds think alike, you hit the nail on that shit

There's a post somewhere on twitr talking about how interesting it'd be to see krk as a prime and on one hand I'm like yeah on the other hand I'm imagining a comic where at the beginning he says something sarcastic to the effect of "sure and im the 16th prime" and then at the end of the comics the matrix floats up to him and he just stares in annoyed disbelief before proclaiming that he was joking

Matrix doesn't care. Become a prime boy

swervefire save me swervefire

By the Necrobot, Spinister is so stupid.

[ongoing visual revamp soon <3]

.....something just happened

scavengers’ first halloween aboard the lost light is going well

I would fucking die for Spinister

Fulcrum: Would you stab your best friend in the leg for 10 million gold?

Misfire: You stab me, and then when my leg gets better, we buy a big-aft house.

Spinister: You can stab me too, then we’ll have 20 million.

Misfire: Good thinking.
