Thought I'd Post This Commission Wip I Recently Sent To A Client Like A Bit Ago

Thought I'd post this commission wip I recently sent to a client like a bit ago

god this is... so... idk the word for it... so peaceful... like calming and shit... god I love transformers so much...

sum close ups!!!

i realize the full pic…gets horribly squished on tumblr…you can check out a higher res version on my twitter here

Just finished Earthspark season 2 and I yearn for sillier decepticons in that show that ARENT trying to kill the kids, so I'm trying to work on ES Scavengers designs inbetween comms

I started sketching Krok after finishing the final episode of the batch :]]

Some earlier sketch under cut ⤵️

probably my favorite humanisations of these guys so far

“the weak anthropic principle” is a pretty weird name for a ship

anyway the actual point of fandom is to inspire each other. reading each other's fics and admiring each other's art and saying wow i love this and i feel something and i want to invoke this in other people, i want to write a sentence that feels like a meteor shower, i want to paint a kiss with such tenderness it makes you ache, i want to create something that someone else somewhere will see it and think oh, i need to do that too, right now. i am embracing being a corny cunt on main to say inspiring each other is one of the things humanity is best at and one of the things fandom is built for and i think that's beautiful

reblogging cuz it ended up being too long for the comment section somehow 😭

ehem... anyways...

Ty again for the answers aha!! I somehow completely forgot about the "Meet The Cons" profiles at the end of issue 8, despite me always looking at those just whenever because they're silly and I liked Spinister's one a lot for some reason. Also yeah, it really is just a small bit of his character, likely done for the reasons you explained (not that im complaining, i totally get it) so it's kind of easy to forget especially if you aren't as big on these guys.

As for around the last bit, I've skimmed through all the main 5 Scavengers' tf wiki pages multiple times over (very normal thing to do yep), and really the most consistent bit of his character outside IDW is that he used to be Bludgeon's right-hand-bot/adviser of sorts, so that checks out, he's always been a brains guy i guess

Random ass fact actually, just so I could ramble more about him on this post: in one of the Dreamwave comics, Krok is seen next to Horri-Bull as part of Starscream's PREDACON army. Not counting the Titans Return Krok toy where hes a gator, this is the only instance (that I know of) where he's implied to be a beastformer of sorts so thats cool

Anyways that is all! I hope you aren't getting tired reading these long ass posts and asks, my brain just likes to ramble and go off track a lot 😭 Take care :]]

Hi there again hello aha, I didn't think to be coming back so soon into your asks lol but something has been REALLY bothering me lately and its the fact that I genuinely do not remember where the idea that Krok used to be a historian was derived from, it's been bothering me for THREE DAYS now (yes I think about the Scavs too much; also in my sleep, thats how bad the brainrot is for these idiots)

My earliest memory of said info was reading it on his tf wiki page but I've looked through it and used ctrl+F even and its NOT there! Second earliest memory was your post about Starscream and him being headcanon'd as roommates absolutely despising each other during like idk cybertronian college (which was very funny btw, I saw that on twitter and found it really silly lol), so I chalked it up to "maybe it was a headcanon on tumblr that I thought was canon" but nope, because several other fanfiction I've read about the Scavengers have used the "Krok used to be a historian" thing as part of his backstory, almost as frequently (or rarely really) as people use him being a soccer player in TransTech

So uhh... do you happen to recall where that's ever said that lmfao?? Maybe I forgot a specific panel in IDW somewhere but ehhh nothing's coming to me rn... This isn't really urgent and i dont even know how I managed to stretch a simple question into a long ass ask but I guess that's just how my brain works

I hope ur having a good day as you read this btw :33

Oh hey! I am having a good day so far, thank you! 😊

As for where the whole historian thing came from, it was actually mentioned at the very end of issue 8 of the mtmte series where both the scavengers and the djd get very brief character cards. This one being krok's:

But outside of this it's never really mentioned again outside of issue 7-8.

In issue 7 his knowledge on the wars history is only really used to let both the audience and fulcrum know that the way the scavs are able to get by is because of him knowing where some of the mass graves are. And so that they can catch fulcrum up with everything that happened while he was unconscious.

After this it's not really mentioned again. The only time I could think off the top of my head that his knowledge in history is hinted at again is the issue where agonizer picks them up after the planet they're on gets swarmed by Deathsaurus' crew and the black block consortia (but I can't remember the issue number right now lol) and again with agonizer.

After that there's just a one off line where he quotes something tyrest probably said early on in the war.

Outside of these very brief instances there really isn't much else to this part of him. Which makes me wonder if jro wanted to do more with that but ultimately had to cut it out for some reason or he just decided it wasn't that big of an aspect to build upon unless necessary to give the audience and the those around him extra info.

I'm unsure if in other continuities he was also a historian but I'm almost certain he's just a strategist/right hand man across all variations. The historian part was probably tacked on last minute for exposition of sorts.

So. I understand where your confusion came from. Because for the longest time when I first got into them I also had no clue where the historian part came from lol.

Hope this kinda helped! Have a good one 😊
