Pick A God And Pray

Grumpy Drift gets a kiss from his wife… he is now happy (*´▽`*)

Little messy dratchet animation because I’ve barely animated in my life and I really want to :3

(Random thought but I find it interesting when people say Ratchet wouldn’t be affectionate… NO? Like yes he’d probably be shy about it in public but he loves Drift sooooo much. If anything he might even be MORE touchy. He isn’t good with words of affection like Drift is, but he shows it in other ways. Like this :3 NOW KITH!!!)

ALSO HAPPY PRIDE!!! All hail the rainbow 🌈

Oh, it's an IDWG1 comics thing!!

More specifically, it's a surgical punishment in More Than Meets The Eye and Lost Light, in where before the war the corrupt government would sentence bots to have their faces & hands removed and replaced with simple heads with only one eye & claws/pincers (see the main examples: Shockwave and Whirl)

It was considered a punishment for the worst of the worst criminals, but of course we only ever see it being used when it comes to bots who go against Functionism so it's pretty clear it was used mostly to uphold a corrupt system and weaponize the public against the victims.

It's named for the latin verb / punishment of amputare, which was the historical practice of cutting people's hands off to show they had broken the law (I've usually heard it in connection to thievery but it probably applied to more things)

i didnt know about the driftrod week on twitter until it was already happening, so i didnt make anything for it- but the prompt today is ‘eternal’ and i thought this comic i drew recently was fitting in a roundabout way
