Hi sheep!!!!!! Im a new follower so i dont know if you still do tf asks but thinking about star telling hashtag about the sparklings makes me think of the first few scene of hotel transylvania 2 where they go flying. Sorry if its corny fankids make my heart tender😭
Thats a fucking adorable scene. i have not watched hotel transylvania 2 but WAH.
telling the kids about impending siblings did not go as planned
He doesn't really get to announce it, the kids just Figure It Out and he then confirms it.
Bonus panel that didn't fit in the pacing i had in mind.

This is a recreation of Digimon Adventure's ending scene with Earthspark characters :)
As a cross-fandom fan I've wanted to do this for a good while and eventually started working on the project in December, 2024. While it's not perfect and a lot of pieces are still missing, I decided that it's good enough for now and it's time to just post it. Also, this is actually for an International Children's Day (June 1) Chinese fandom event.
Details under the cut
OG Video
Tools I used
Art: Procreate
Animation: Figma (most of the complicated ones), Python (for creating gifs of simple animations), DaVinci Resolve (for putting the whole video together)
Components of the video
00:00 - 00:36
The first sequence is just the main character's silly faces, which is the most fun part to draw! And they already look adorable even without the rest of the video or any music.
I also need to create the flipping effects, which I initially attempted to do with Figma but realized that flipping 8 images at once overloads the tool and makes its animation laggy. I need them to all flip in sync, so this part is actually done with a Python script.
Compared to the OG video, the middle row is missing. I initially planned to draw the human Maltos but unfortunately ran out of time.
00:36 - 00:51
The second sequence provides an overview of 1) locations in the show, 2) side characters of the show, 3) iconic items that belong to the main characters.
For the locations, I took screenshots and edited them into having anime vibes:
Also had to distort the side characters' images so they follow a tilted route. The distortion part is also done with a Python script.
I initially planned to draw the following items for the Terrans but ran out of time:
Swords and housework star stickers for Twitch
Shield and balls for Thrash
Inventions (smart trainer / hologram projector) for Nightshade
Tablet and the director's viewfinder for Hashtag
Dinobot comics & dinosaur fossils for Jawbreaker
Contaminated energon cans for Aftermath
Cyber Slayer for Spitfire
Yeah the items for the Chaos Terrns are pretty cursed lmao, but I honestly can't think of anything else that are iconically theirs.
00:51 - 1:17 Roll out!
In the OG video this part is the main characters rolling out with their Digimon partners. For the Terrans, of course they will be rolling out with their mentor-ish counterparts. (I'm so sorry that Bumblebee wasn't included. You are the best mentor. But like, you are the shared mentor so it's kind hard to point to one Terran and declare you their specific mentor.)
At this point you probably already realized that the only characters that I do not run out of time for are the Terrans. And yeh, once again I run out of time for the Mentors and had to use low resolution stock images, screenshots, and even very inaccurate toy images.
I struggled to decide whether Starscream should stand by Hashtag or Spitfire, but Spitfire really doesn't have anyone besides Starscream so it had to be this way, which is again pretty cursed.
1:17 - 1:31
Turns out I do run out of time even for the Terrans! I was initially planning to draw the "everyone running towards the silver lining" scene but kinda suck at drawing animation. So have some Terrans dancing.
1:31 - 1:42
Hesitated between drawing "Terratronus getting armored up, each armor piece representing one Terrans" - which would be a perfect way to represent the ending of S3! But it'll probably look weird with a horizontal frame so I eventually just drew a traditional family photo.

they live in my head rent free.... i loved the idea of dad breakdown and was very VERY upset it never got utilized so i'm making this a thing to heal my childcare teacher heart..
Knockout, to some other bot or human: I love my son <3 he's so passionate about what he loves to do, it makes me so happy! He takes after his dad and I so well!
Other person: *is imagining a stereotypical straight A student-*
Knockout: *is actually referring to Aftermath, who is currently being trained by Breakdown, who is getting the shit beat out of him-*
Rubs my grubby little paws together. These are all canon compliant bc my season 2 au has grown deeply convoluted and I'd have to make a whole other post to explain it.
Neither of them really care about gender- human or cybertronian model, it doesn't matter- they think it's dumb and overcomplicated. However, Aftermath thinks neopronouns are neat (fucking with the basic linguistic structure is cool) and Spitfire kinda likes it/its (reclaiming how it's been seen as a tool by others in the past)
Neither of them really like their alt modes. Aftermath and Spitfire both scanned their respective vehicles out of desperation, and have just kind of quietly accepted that their bodies are wrong for them and there's nothing they can do about it. Nobody told them they can rescan and get new alt modes, and it isn't exactly intuitive knowledge, so they just kinda assume everyone else suffers in silence like they do. (Their ideal alts are a crane and a seaplane/flying boat respectively)
Spitfire unironically relates to Shadow from the snapcube fandubs. "Looks like your sin was coveting my awesome swag" is its favorite line.
Aftermath fucking loves heavy metal music, xe's sensory seeking and metal legitimately helps xem calm down.
Breakdown not telling them about Starscream's plan is a sparkbreaking betrayal to Aftermath, but Spitfire just kinda... Rolls with it. When have adults ever been good to it? Honestly, it should've seen this coming.
Their relationship is very codependent, because they see each other as the only thing they can rely on.
Chaos Terrans aren't actually "born evil" or whatever, they're just incredibly traumatized from being created in the middle of a fight and almost dying. It doesn't excuse the attempted murder, exactly, but they are like a week old so. Y'know.
Both of them are autistic (projecting)
They invented a two player sport to entertain themselves, it involves a lot of sticks and biting
Aftermath feels bad about betraying Jawbreaker, but ze doesn't know how to apologize. Ze feels like it'd be a moot point anyway, Jawbreaker has every right to hate zer.
Spitfire and Hashtag are Tumblr mutuals but don't know it. Also, Spitfire is a redditor, unfortunately.
