Transformers Animated - Blog Posts
Drew this because it was on my mind and i think it fits. A means to practice more on drawing bots eh, references are so important
Bonus :
I made Bee's speech a mix of the OG Comic and a clip of the Movie. Here's the reference
his last words were "thats not how pronouns work"
dialogue from @jestlingnest
felt kind of aimless today so i animated this, inspired by this drawing
Get cubed idiot 🧊 ( + an animatic)
Happy 40th transformers anniversary
Happy 40 years to the best franchise this millennium.
From the comedy highs and the war crime lows, transformers has stayed my main hyperfixation for years, as it will continue to be for the next years to come.
tfa megatron but the reverse engineering of his form mr sumdac fucked him up. he talks with a tone similar to that tiktok tts and his disdain and his hate and his pride can't be fully expressed anymore. the cave the decepticons live in hides them from the autobots signals but it also helps megs not deal with the constant notifications and posts from sites from the phones that he made. but even then it's not enough cause everyday his head is roaring with advertisements and stupid videos and memes coming from tablets and laptops that were made from part of his cranium.
he knows that pens used to draw were taken from his servos when mr sumdac realised that they had more uses them being furniture. he knows that the wires in that streamers pc setup were supposed to be his, operating his brain. parts of his optic were taken and formed into phonescreens that could not be shattered. pathetic, a cybertronian could still crush them easily.
he doesn't want to be on earth anymore. he wants to finish the spacebridge and go to cybertron and finally win the war. because he refuses to believe he went through all that agony and suffering for 50 years to not go through with it anymore. maybe once he's taken over cybertron he'll come back and raze this pathetic planet to the ground. maybe if cybertron is far enough he can escape all the millions of wifi passwords and pdfs and scams that haunt him every moment he lives. he shall never know peace and quiet again. you may pity him, but to some, after all he's done, all the crimes he's committed and blood that's on his servos, this isn't even the worst of it.
I never really liked tfa much or understood the hype around it either 🫤 It's alright, but prime is probably the best of the shows imo. G1 is my fav even tho its so silly bcs it always makes me laugh, and I know some people don't like either of those, so it's definitely all subjective
(Ps. I love your art 💙💙💙)
all my life ive seen Optimus portrayed as an old kind-hearted dad so seeing him as a bratty young guy destroyed my sense of reality 😭😭 i GET the appeal like it IS an interesting portrayal of him and i definitely just need time to get used to him and i know i will sound like a bunch of other people, but my only wish is for him to have just a sliiiightly different style for his face </3 i like my Optimus' looking hot and tfa Optimus just aint doing it for me 🥀
but G1 is genuinely such a fun time it makes zero sense and i thoroughly enjoyed it when i saw it for the first time several months ago :D although i havent seen 3 and 4 seasons but sometime in the future i'll definitely check them out!
in the end these kinds of stuff ARE subjective so i am trying my best not to be hyper critical of tfa when i even barely seen it </3
(Ps. thank youuuu 🥺💜💜💜)
i want to continue to watch Transformers Animated but its just SO damn difficult to like.... actually force myself to watch it 😭😭😭 watched some episodes several months ago, dropped it and since then it cant leave my mind because everyone talks about how good it is and it feels like im missing out on something
another bloodborne-ish boss lol (Blurr for scale)
Bumblebee: We have you surrounded you murderer!
Starscream: I'm not a murderer I'm a killer
Bumblebee lowers weapon: Wait there's a difference? What's the difference?
Hot rod: I'm not smart enough to answer that. Just ask Starscream-- AND HE'S GETTING AWAY
Starscream ran away as soon as their attention was away from him.
Being near Him automatically lowers your brain cells.
Gosh I love my random brain, never stop being whatever tf you are
Knockout: I headcannon that....
Starscream: Well I have a cannon to my head
Knockout: Megatron's not even here... HOLY SHI--
Megatron just lurking in the door way
That one meme but Starscream (probs au but could be anything)
Bumblebee joking with Starscream: Looks like someone has daddy issues
Starscream: I DO NOT HAVE DADDY ISSUES, I AM PAPA'S SPECIAL FUCKING BOY
(Megatron: Hey you're not allowed to swear yet. You're grounded for 2 days now.)
Windblade: Starscream why are you calling
Starscream: I just realised that if the high grade or drugs don't work to stop me being depressed.
Starscream: Why not take both at the same time! I'M GOING TO BE HAPPY GLITCHES!!!!
Later
Reporter: Starscream has been rushed to get dire medical treatment after Windblade found him coughing up energon and unresponsive. He is now stable and is being visited by some bots
Cut to Starscream strapped to a berth
Windblade: Tell me right now! WHAT THE FRAG MADE YOU DO THAT! YOU COULD HAVE DIED!!
Starscream: In my defence I wasn't aware that would happen
Wheeljack: Even I know what you did is dangerous and I'm literally the guy that triggers danger
Chromia: Unfortunately you survived though so I don't see the problem
Windblade: Not the right time Chromia
I'm at work (not really I'm too young) and Starscream is the only thing keeping me awake.
I'm honestly getting better at poses just need to find a way to make the head fit in (I had to glue the face on top of the old one) for the big one.
Au idea that's similar to one Deadpool comic
Kind of plays with the 4th wall breaker Starscream but in a completely different direction.
As in due to his immortal spark being like a constant in every universe you have this one flux where they all are in eachothers bodies for a split second.
They've seen the other dimensions, they understood what it was and then bam it was gone just like that. They can't recall what they witnessed or what secrets they came across.
Except for one of the Starscreams who now is aware of the other dimensions and also the writers and us the audience.
He can't see us or talk to us though. But he's become less energetic to everything until he cracks under the pressure of knowing his pain is simply for amusement and starts to find a way to reach us/writers to extract his revenge.
And he has a sword (very important, this is).
Also he has this glitchy power I don't know exactly what it would do but I feel like he'd be able to glitch his body to other dimensions whilst still being active in his so he can't be hit most of the time (there will be a massive drawback obviously, can't make it that easy).
My 4th wall Starscream but he can now travel dimensions.
He's blasting every Megatron with a rocket launcher as that universes Starscream is getting beat up.
Whilst wearing shades of course.
He'd just be like "You're very welcome, now do you need therapy or would that just make it worse" but just pops out of existence straight away.
But if it was SG it would be hilarious like -
My Starscream popping out of a portal, rocket launcher at hand "Fear not weaker and more pathetic me I sha... WAIT WHAT THE FRAG IS THIS!!!!!?????"
And then you have Megatron just grilling Starscream to take a break and have some energon (concerned father moment).
"FRAG NOW I'M JEALOUS! I DON'T GET PAID ENOUGH FOR THIS! FRAG YOU!!"
Pops out of existence whilst Megatron and Starscream are frozen.
But he pops back in a few seconds after, head poking out shouting "I hope you have a happy life as well bye!"
Gaslighting my sister to believe transformers are real
Me:" Yeah transformers are so cool it's sad we have to wait 100 years for them to come"
My sister: "Their real?"
"Yeah obviously"
And with utter horror etched on her face she goes "But then they will destroy houses"
"No that's only in movies and shows."
"Okay, so does that mean Starscream is real" and also goes "I hope Megatron isn't real(damn)"
And I was like "oh they're probably not real it's just gonna be some robots that we don't know"
"Well I hope Starscream is real"
"I do too cause I wanna jus--"
"High five him"
"Yeahhhhh lot's of high fives"
Headcanon/au or whatever idk how to explain
So we all know how Starscream always changes his frame in the comics.
What if it was not only due to finding what feels right for him but also due to his immortal spark.
His clone Sunstorm has his own powers but I feel like it doesn't ruin his body as it let's the radioactivity be released. Whilst in Starscream's case the only way to release his energy would be to die and we all know how much he stops that from happening.
So with barely any release his spark slowly deteriorates his current body but not in a really gory way simply that functions will lag and maybe if left to long energon would slowly burst inside of him like when we get a bloody nose but for him his eyes may burst.
But he changes frame so much that it never got to the point where his whole body exploded and all the other times it was brushed off as damage due to fights (Megatron).
And the energy does still get released as he's died a few times but nobody knew cause they simply changed his frame in I guess a spark transfer as a last resort and it worked every time.
That one meme video but Starscream multiverse
Therapist(Rung I guess): "Fine, your all without (loving) fathers alright."
SG Starscream: "I'm not. I fucking love my dad (Megatron)."
Qué montage of Megatron being careful and caring to Starscream and making sure he's alright and overall having fun.
SG Starscream: "My dad's fucking awesome 😎."
Other Starscream's: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!"
Finally got to do drawings and I'm practicing poses with Starscream ofc, it's easier with robots anyway.
Learning how to draw metalhawk cause I need to draw some interactions with him and star when I improve.
I don't know what I was planning for the top drawing but the colours low-key work just in a weird way.
Homophobic!!? Nah I'm homosexual
Starscream probably if he saw the meme
Could work the other way around if he's trying to deny it but we know it ain't true
Starscream trying to redeem himself song
I'm sorry but man the lyrics are really like Starscream actually trying to make amends but due to his self destructive tendencies he keeps failing. He also wants everyone to know he is actually wanting to change but doesn't know how to.
"I swear, I will die trying" literally cannon because everytime he has changed or become a hero he dies, straight away sometimes.
"I'm not a good person, I'm bearly a person at all" cannon cause I say so and let me explain. He knows he's an asshole and sometimes he purposely acts like one for reasons. And in some of the darkest versions of Megatron's and Starscream's relationship he is quite literally a slave to Megatron and a "whipping boy" actual quote from Starscream and it makes me sick.
4th Wall breaking Starscream moments would be hilarious PT.2
Soundwave and Starscream are just standing side by side in the nemesis whilst Megatron is talking about a new plan to destroy the autobots.
Starscream to us: Now you want to know why Soundy is standing right next to me. And no it's not cause we are supposed to. Listen hear and don't tell anyone I told you this or otherwise I'll be banned from the 4th wall. This guy right here can read minds but only at a close proximity like we are in now. See the producers have never made it clear, those lazy afts, I really hate their fleshy guts.
And then you slowly see Soundwave facing Starscream with absolute horror.
And after a whole minute Starscream goes: Wait if he can read minds. And I just broke the 4th wall. And the scene didn't pause. And he's standing right next to me. And he always reads my mind that means. Oh frag.
But during this part the scene did freeze so Soundwave didn't hear that part. Starscream is hyperventilating worried he'll be experimented with.
Soundwave is concerned. Cause he thinks starscream has gone full schizophrenic mode and not half anymore.
I feel like Starscream should be given a 4th wall breaking ability
Like the moments are similar to how Deadpool does it like imagine a scenario that goes:
Megatron and Starscream arguing.
Starscream staring directly at us as the scene pauses: I interrupt this scene to give a warning for the viewers. I believe it's around the time I get my ass beaten up. So if you are uncomfortable or whatever with abuse I suggest you skip to 10:54.
The scene unpaused but Megatron just walks away with a huff.
Starscream whispering whilst pulling the screen down: Now that's a suprise. A good one of course. Primus really is shining down o-Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Megatron in fact did not leave and was just waiting for his fussion canon to charge. And skipping to 10:54 was actually correct.
I'm really disappointed nobody has had this idea no matter how much I try to find something like it
I was thinking about people and this popped in my head and I was like you know what. He would, he so would say this. Especially to Megatron
And he's so right to.
Don't know if this is already a quote but yeah 👍
Redraw of the animated drawings with water colours.
Galaxy Force Starscream the lovable tragic asshole you are. I had to squish his face cause either made it too big. First time drawing him and those lips do not disappoint.
Water colour pens are good but I just can't use them properly without leaving marks making it look ugly.
