#junkid

For tax reasons, Junkid is temporarily renting himself out to a Headmaster named Tetanic.

(I couldn't figure out the neck and then adding the legs blocked off the head compartment)

Tetanic gets to drive the alt mode, Junkid gets to run the body. He got the idea from his landlord/apartment, Arvee, who is actually a POWERmaster with a Transtector and considers it a microaggression when Junkid can't remember the difference.

Beastformer and Demonicon leader Coldslag is a controversial figure in (far future) Cybertronian history. She did steal a small, but energon rich moon from a populated planet (where she obtained her signature Angronian hatecrab alt mode (also, they had, like, seven moons)) and crashed it into Cybertron, killing tens of thousands of transformers. BUT. She also reenergized the planet for generations yet to come, leading to the longest period of 'not having a world war' in known history.

Scraplands (what I'm calling my au that includes Junkid and Co) is kinda about millenials/Gen X and what's more millenial than being acutely aware that all of your modern comforts are built on blood and oppression?

Not done yet, but I love how the time-lapse makes it look like I know what I'm doing. Also, does anyone else actually go through and make sure their OCs can physically transform? One of my major gripes about Alligned is its normalization of impossible conversions. Mass shifting was all over the place in G1, but those were modeled on existing toys of various scales. Parts might shrink or grow for character design reasons, but they still end up where they're supposed to. We ripped on Beast Machines for doing it, but Prime gets open arms? Bah! Humbug and poppycock!

Air-Brake! Is loud!

Air-Brake! Wins races!

Air-Brake! Hates the gig economy!

You'd assume she was a flyer, but Air-Brake is actually a suped up hovercar. The reverse flapped wings are actually used for sharp turns and sudden deceleration. Or, when used at top speed, to create devastating sonic booms. She goes through audio sensors like no one's business.
