Awake ＆ Forged

a couple issues later

might be top 3 starbee interactions of all time

working on starscream’s backstory for To Earth and Back Again, my poor guy 🙏😔 In my fic he used to be the literal Decepticon poster boy and was very idealistic and eager to be involved in the cause, before he and Megatron began to develop their whole situation and Starscream’s life took a turn for the worse

(BUT IT’S OK IT’S GONNA GET BETTER)

posting this without context-

(okay maybe you can have a little bit of context....remember the bayverse rewrite i talked about once...been thinking about it again)

Lord Megatron has stepped on a Lego block, now I , Starscream, am the new leader of the Decepticons!

So that’s why he’s such an underused character in G1 :0 It always made me sad that he appears so rarely and disappears for episodes and episodes at a time. “Only use when necessary” oof.

Anyways glad to see a straightforward explanation of this, I knew there was legal issues but I didn’t know exactly how it changed or why he went from Jetfire to Skyfire to Jetfire again. The toy lines always be messing with the show. Reminds me of Rumble and Frenzy’s mixed up colors thanks to confusion between the show and the toys lol

I’ve always been confused over the whole jetfire/sky fire name situation, and you seem like the kind of person who would know what’s going on with that. Love your art btw

Thank you ! And yes ! Let me explain the Skyfire Jetfire name situation !

So Jetfire’s original toy came from the Macross Super Valkyrie and he looked like this.

Hasbro licensed Jetfire (the toy) to be used in the Transformers line but did not license him to be used in media (the show). When Jetfire appeared in a commercial fighting Shockwave, Macross sued Hasbro over the use of Jetfire, as they had not licensed him to be used as a character in the show and continued to sue them over Jetfire which is why they had to redesign Jetfire and change his name to Skyfire in the Generation 1 Cartoon.

Hasbro avoided using Jetfire/Skyfire in the show too much so that Macross wouldn’t sue them, it’s even stated in the original pitch bible

Things were eventually sorted out legal wise and now Hasbro can use Jetfire’s name without being sued which is why his name is Jetfire and no longer Skyfire

When he’s got his armor on I think it’s a homage to his original Valkyrie design which i find very charming !

BUT YEAH— THATS BASICALLY THE GIST OF IT !

Originally named Jetfire -> name changed to Skyfire in the G1 Cartoon to avoid getting sued by Macross -> Legal issues sorted -> name changed back to Jetfire

His names are kind of used interchangeably now ! But it just depends on whoever you ask !

I recommend watching The Many Toys of Jetfire if you wanna learn some more about it, Ronbondujon goes over it better than I do and also goes over all of Jetfire’s toys !

Reactions to getting in trouble with Ratchet (he is not paid enough for this)

Art for my wip TFP fic To Earth and Back Again

My favorite scene from today’s chapter of “The Trials of Optimus Prime”

Oh Starscream

Some Transformers Ships I like! Which should I draw next?

Ships: Starscream x Skyfire, Optimus/Orion Pax x Megatron/D-16, Optimus x Elita, Knockout x Breakdown, Tailgate x Cyclonus, Megatron x Minimus, Windblade x Slipstream, Ironhide x Chromia, Soundwave x Shockwave, Chromedome x Rewind

also feel free to specify series- I showed TFONE megOp but I could Earthspark instead, either way

WHICH ONE SHOULD I DRAW AHH!!! :D

super rush job because I wanted to be able to put something out before midnight (I failed oh well)

happy Valentine’s!

OK WHAT THAT CATCHPHRASE

They’re so cute 😭

I think it is my civil duty to tell you guys that in the LatamSpanish dub for TF ONE, Orion tells D16 that he loves him (although sarcastically, and he uses the ambiguous/platonic term for it.) Also their catchphrase is a lot sweeter. I made a little video to show.

Hey what's up, Theo here, and Beast Wars Tarantulas is a fucking creep. He's the guy that pours his milk and then the cereal, the weirdo who covertly takes pictures of your feet, the psycho that 100% will roofie your drink the second you're not looking. He canonically has a blood drinking fetish ffs! He's the word 'Squick' incarnate ok?Ok.🙃
