Splitscreens warframe design. When she joins the autobot army she becomes part of the aerial scouting squad. After a mission goes wrong she gets severely damaged leading to her first partial reframe. Gone are the bright colors and rounded corners. Her altmode switches to a smaller heavier jet that is able to tank harder hits, what she now lacks in speed she makes up with firepower. Training under Ironhide she becomes proficient in close combat and upgrades her frame further with a variety of weapons.

That time I looked up what „Mist bauen“ (to mess up) would translate to and yeah I did not know that boob was apparently also an adjective for messing up????

I think the next step I’m going to focus on the Canon characters and how I want to characterize them. Optimus and Ratchet are easier since I’m more familiar with them. I want to focus on the Peter Cullen version of Optimus and I really liked how the start of skybound portrayed him as well. Jazz and Prowl will be more difficult but I find the different characterizations they get interesting. As much as idw Prowl is an ass who straight up commits warcrimes left and right I think I kinda want to play with his willingness to go this far if it means he could end the war. So yes shady prowl it is but with the added baggage that he doesn’t like that he has to do it but more so because someone has to do it and well goodwill won’t win them anything at this point. I want jazz too to be just as shady but simply being better at hiding it since he is a social chameleon, perhaps he struggles with some identity issues as well not knowing where the mask starts and he as an individual ends? And Ironhide who is this battle hardened individual to the point he has troubles to be anything else besides a soldier. How does Wheeljack feel about the fact all his ingenuity is used for is to create new ways to kill? Everyone used to have dreams and aspirations at some point but the war has destroyed their ability to dream. Its survival only and like a broken Mashine they simply follow the rules of the reality they have come to know for the last millions of years.

So yes things will be miserable and even Optimus is waning when it comes to keeping the spirits up, everyone is more so pretending. They get a small break on earth and still even if the cons follow them there and they fight they still get to see something different for once. There is a new world and culture to explore and for the first time in a long time everyone of the earth autobot team gets to take a breather. Unfortunately it won’t last as they will have to leave earth and when they do it’s straight back into war planning. With the added baggage they brought back more mouths to feed. But it’s not going to be all bad.

Transformers really out here forcing me out of my comfort zones. But it’s okay it is worth it.

I got into drawing now 20 years ago when my sister brought home her first manga drawing and I got enamored by it to the point that I started my own art journey. We would sit together just drawing and talking about characters and shows. We would make up our own characters and stories and share those with one another. At some point I would meet friends who would join in learning to draw further connecting with people over art.

I really love that despite tumblrs flaws the spirit of that connection is kept alive by the community and every time I see people talk about stuff they like or creating their own AUs more people add on to it. It feels like those endless whiteboards. It’s neat.

Im also thankful to the community because to be honest after trying out a bunch of social media and failing there to connect via art. I finally found a place where I can be comfortable to share ideas and art with others.

A squad of elite soldiers, fighting Megatron's battles and cleaning up after his more secret operations. They are notorious for being cold and efficient, with their members personally selected by Requiem himself. Despite their already high ranking within the Decepticons, their ambitions don’t stop there: Being one of the best teams is not enough, they want to be all the way at the top and become a part of Megatron’s personal guard. 

While similar squads like the DJD operate on a stage of sorts and aim to have an intimidating public presence that is also used for propaganda purposes, the Judex operate in a more clandestine fashion. This leads to some questioning whether they exist at all.

Their name “Judex” (Latin for “judge”) is derived from one of their primary missions: To scour the battlefield after fights between the Decepticons and Autobots and locate Autobot survivors. The Judex then “appraise” their potential usefulness as assets for the Decepticon cause and give them the choice to join them with the only other alternative being a swift death, ever increasing their already big kill count.

Alt Mode (Cybertron): Cybertronian stealth jet, inspired by the F/A-37 Talon from the movie “Stealth”

Role: Team Leader

Personality: Ruthless, cold blooded and valuing efficiency over everything else, Requiem is determined in leading his team to being the Decepticon’s most successful squad. Being a decorated war veteran, he has almost endless amounts of experience fighting battles and leading soldiers. 

When it comes to completing his duties, even the very best strategy is just about good enough for him, with every plan needing at least one backup. He also firmly believes that a team can ever only be as good as its weakest member.

Alt Mode (Cybertron): Heavy Attack Helicopter

Role: Demolitions and Heavy Weapons Expert

Personality: Being the Judex’ designated heavy weapons and demolitions expert, Fuze is the “muscle” of the team. While being responsible for the brawn, he is not lacking when it comes to intelligence: His quick wit and keen optics saved the team multiple times in the past and can spot opportunities others may miss. 

Over his time with the Decepticons, he has adopted a grouchy and stern attitude as to never let anyone guess what’s going on inside his processor. After they lost their last member in battle, he became the new second in command.

Alt Mode (Cybertron): Armed Recon Buggy

Role: Assault, Recon

Personality: When looking at Havoc, one might assume him to be the typical “loose cannon”: Unpredictable, insane and maybe a bit feeble-minded. However, behind this facade lies a fierce soldier that doesn’t shy away from danger and regularly comes up with plans that might seem crazy at first, but are well thought out and highly effective. 

His small frame and attention-grabbing coloring often leads to his enemies underestimating or even making fun of him. However, none of them live long enough to realize the gravity of their mistake.

Alt Mode (Cybertron): All-terrain Utility Buggy

Role: Engineering, Comms (Replaces lost teammate)

After the team lost a member during battle, Hitch was brought on as a replacement. His calm, calculating nature and him always planning at the very least two steps ahead has quickly led the Judex to their ultimate goal: Becoming the most prolific and effective squad the Decepticons ever had on their side.

However, he does have one weakness that he keeps very close to his spark. A deep-rooted hatred towards another mech that breaks his calm and cool demeanor, leading him to make irrational decisions.

Kirby Drift is done! Decided to color his feet red to make him just a teeny bit more colorful. I think he turned out pretty cute.
