FINALLY!! My companion Vanessa pieces for the @happiestdayfnaf Zine!!!

Meant to directly parallel each other, these pieces were the reason I paint the way I do now as they were drawn all the way back in April, fundamentally changing the way I tackle rendering.

oh yess I forgot about that! Unfortunately it's a two-pack last I checked, so hes paired with a character I don't give a shit about 💔 (He's gonna be packaged with twintwist I think idk)

I DO hope he gets a cameo somewhere because of it tho!! (Maybe.... Cyberworld.... Plspslsppsls)

watching the new tf trailer and seeing sw and skullcruncher altmodes fully knowing krok has figures with both of their alts but he'll probably never be animated in anything anytime soon

nvm found it lolz!!! bumping it back to the feed for anyone who sees my new post mentioning it

Random ideas for a hypothetical Scavengers (mini) series

So I made a google doc a few nights ago and filled it with random ass ideas for how a cartoony likely-episodic Scavengers series could go... It was around the same time I wanted to get to animating a Scavs-related thing but no promises there or to this ever becoming more than rambles

Anyways... heres an unorganized collection of my silly thoughts:

POST-WAR!! War’s over, Autobot-Decepticon alliance is great and dandy for everyone except of course the folks who got left behind and forgotten by respective High Commands and have had to make their own dealings in space to get thru life and shit; focusing on the daily struggles of your average low of the low genericons/bots, the Scavengers

Optimus and Megatron are definitely married (trust); we go the IDW MTMTE route but instead of Megs off on a quest with Roddy and gang, he’s with Optimus and they both publicly surrender/call truce or whatever on-video and agree to help repair cybertron instead of squabbling, sending a message to all cybertronians taking refuge amongst the stars blah blah blah its time to go home (pilot should open with this i think, set the worldview up straight from the beginning)

It could either be set in the slums of like some populated city or smthn, like maybe Dead End of Kaon or smthn OR… now consider… Set NOT on Cybertron, literally anywhere BUT Cybertron; the Scavs wander space, at least every few episodes or so would be set in a different planet or smthn, having them do their usual shenanigans and (failing) their supply/scavenging runs, as well as the occasional star station too for like a pit stop i guess; there’d be atleast one episode where they go to earth probably

Main characters (scavs duh, but lemme write some shit down here rq):

Krok - the dutiful, ever-patient (one can of engex away from losing it) leader of the Scavengers; he’s the one that usually has the single functioning brain cell

Crankcase - the skillful pilot of the crew’s beloved Decepticon-hijacked Autobot vessel, always in a sour mood, think TFA Ratchet but up the old man crankiness to 500; really good at fixing things (mechanic)

Spinister - a little stupid… all the stupid actually… but he’s got things rattling in there too, don’t worry! The Scavengers’ medic; would probably be Cybertron’s greatest surgeon if it weren’t for everything else

Fulcrum - Defunct?? Rejected?? Something-class Decepticon, a bit of a coward, found in a dumpster by Misfire; he’s a technician too! Score!

Misfire - ideas are about as good as his aim (which is not at all); the really really talkative and social one; rejected Rainmaker/Seeker (bro didnt pass Decepticon Academy, rip)

Additional members that get added to the crew later on!

Grimlock - resident Dinobot and the only Autobot on the crew (for now or smthn idk), thinking of either having them find him during the pilot episode or a bit later on?; i think Krok would definitely have a thing where he’s super wary of him until a big character development episode thing happens like in MTMTE #46

Nickel - hmmm idk yet.. Maybe a former high ranking decepticon officer whose position has been stripped from her the more fucked up and bad the faction ended up becoming because she was very vocal about its problems til the current day? (I just don’t think her being connected to the DJD would work here womp womp)

Flywheels (unsure) - some mech that tagged along with them during one random shenanigans episode

MP3 / or some other new human character (unsure) - they have an episode where they go to Earth and befriend silly human… may or may not keep them, maybe they could be an honorary Scavenger but only appears sometimes or stays on Earth but keeps in touch with the Scavs (look I just think having a human on the crew would be kinda silly and funky for the dynamic)

Meanies to the crew (weekly bad guy):

Novastorm - leader of the Rainmakers; has beef with Misfire

Skullcruncher- Krok hates his guts; he’s the TFA Sentinel to Krok’s TFA Prime, probably served together on like whatever the equivalent of a Warworld ship would be in this

Raiders??? Space pirates??? Idk but I’d def make em be related to Spinister’s past or smthn (this was inspired by some fanfic I read a bit ago, I think Fool’s Paradise on AO3)

Needlenose? (Spin trusted him, betrayed copter boy :((( or smthn)

Scorponok - probably the biggest threat of the show (ofc not in universe), but he’d be like IDW Scorponok in that one Scavs issue, all kinda silly and dramatic but def a threat, he kinda reminds me of Dino/BW Megatron a bit

DJD (absolutely unsure, maybe a passing mention or not at all) - would probably have to sillify them a bit (a lot, idk how the hell Cyberverse managed it with Tarn)...

There's more in the doc but they're not fully formed ideas yet... My countless hours scrolling the Scavengers tags on tumblr have also given me ideas for certain kinds of episodes that could happen but again, nothing concretely written down yet

If I have the energy or remember this, I'm def gonna be updating it with some more ideas cuz whether this becomes real or not, its fun!! Maybe I could write it as a fic one day or if someones wants to idk

Okay bai bai for now, I gotta eep 👋

out of the 5 characters included in the little silly group i obsess with atm, only ONE of them appear in any form of modern tf media (spinister in WFC and even then he was a nothing burger, the show itself was kind of dookie, and he dies in it)

watching the new tf trailer and seeing sw and skullcruncher altmodes fully knowing krok has figures with both of their alts but he'll probably never be animated in anything anytime soon

struggling to find my old scavengers miniseries post on my tumblr for some fuckin reason, but just know that I've been constantly thinking about it and adding random tidbits and ideas to my rambley ass google doc

At some point (if i ever get the time or remember to), I really wanna draw designs for the guys in it and maybe even make animatics of a few silly scenes in my head lol

I never noticed I never posted this on here! An old print I’d done for tfcon when Lost Light was just ending!

This might sound a little silly, but is there enough people who think about the Scavengers on a daily basis on here to make some sort of discord or smthn... I am genuinely STARVED and need to talk about them with someone PLEASE (or if a server or smthn already exist then like hip me up with an invite or smthn vro!)

people are suggesting that I should do more transformers one shattered glass artwork so here it comes! Already watched it twice in the theater, marvelous movie!

AGHHH don't be sorry at all, I adore rambles about my favorite guys!!! This is so interesting to me... Scavs v DJD rematch would be so fucking coollll; I always thought them never encountering each other again atleast ONCE was a missed opportunity to further remind you of them being foils to each other God, it really would turn the Scavs' story from the lowest of the low, a representation of the rank and file left behind and trying to live in this new world and realizing they've done well for themselves and the best thing they've achieved is each other, to the same guys thinking they've succeeded and faced against all odds now that their commanders have secured the victory, but end up turning away from all that after realizing how shit things kinda are either way or whatevr idkkkk and it shifting from moving away to Cybertron to attempting to get back would also make for some interesting stuff to happen!!

Maaannn, so many thoughts to be had about these guys... I really appreciate you coming to the rescue for me with that ramble, I've been a bit starved for just general scavs discussion, I wish people were more actively thinking about them ahaa

Saw a post on here not too long ago about certain IDW guys in a Decepticon-win scenario and one of the guys on there were the Scavengers and I'm just like... how WOULD that actually work like its intriguing but I genuinely have zero clue how that would go, they're like of those tf things that can only really be done properly in a post-war thing yknow?

Drew this as I had the idea to order a custom shirt with an open matrix and this particular Rodimus quote from the end of Lost Light because I love it too much <33

Was planning to wear this to my viewing of TF One but I think it might not arrive in time lolz

Every single person who followed me for literally any piece of art that became a banger either here or on twitter... sorry but also not sorry, chat

Thinking about mnemosurgeon Spin again...

Who says he couldn’t be

I WAS ALMOST WORRIED NO ONE REMEMBERED SPINISTER FOR THIS ZINE BUT OMG YES YES MY BOY YESSSSS!!!!!

My preview for the @medicalgradezine I am very happy to have been able to participate with so many talented and wonderful artists.

Lost Light

dos anyone want to play cars with me .

🚗 🚙 🚘 🚙 🏎️ 🚗 🚗

I just realised I never posted this here.

Don't know if anybody cares here but I redesigned my TF oc Firecracker a bit recently :]]]

Flat colored and lined version as well as the old design under cut for anyone curious as to what he looked like before vvv

Silly versions

Old version:

Goddddd I've learned how to draw mecha so much better since then, I'm so happyyyy

Chat, should I still finish this redraw of that one Tales Ballora cover, yay or nay

Original cover under cut ⤵️

Just normal ass Ballora lmao

Just Freddy and his lineart (with sketch underneath woops, I didn't notice that)

FREDDY FAZFORCE !!

Will probably do the other guys, maybe idk, when I have time ehh

Chipset Chica !!

The resident eye in the sky, Team Fazforce's Chipset Chica!

Another one for the round of redesigning Help Wanted 2 Fazforce guys to look more like Transformers! This one was a bit tricky since I've never designed a flyer bot before but I like how it came out :]]

That's two down, four more to go til I designed I get to design the combiner

Mecha Pirate Foxy ☠️

He's a strange fellow... And transforms into an amphibious car (was contemplating on a pirate ship at first but boat altmodes aren't the easiest to do or most useful battle-wise imo aha)

Also apparently I've never posted him before????! I could've sworn I've posted him on Tumblr but I can't find any signs of him, I guess I only did so on Twitter and Reddit huhu

Well for anyone here who hasn't seen him on my other socials, here he is! Probably gonna redesign the Fazforce guys a bit in the future (as well as eventually get to Bonnie and the others aaughh)

I have whole ass lore for these guys and a bunch of others, I just haven't rambled them yet because I wanted to do the designs first 😭 If it comes down to my lazy ass, I might just release the Google doc lore rambles without the designs aha

Still busy sorry chat, have this gah-tor I finished a while back but forgot to post 🐊

Its that Earthspark Krok design I showed here a bit ago m, I just finished the coloring and altmode lolz

Still wanting to eventually do all the Scavengers in an ES sort of thing but I don't know if my brain would cooperate with me on that 💔
