wada sez: Based on the artist's comment on deviantART that the strip included (amongst others) an Energon character, we can deduce that the barely-visible bartender—with its fanged mouth and tendrils—is actually Alpha Quintesson! Stiffey also remarked that the color palette for the strip was inspired by Coruscant in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. In terms of the narrative content, it seems like Snarl and Air Hammer were basically pulled out of a hat for the story Bashar wanted to tell. Along with the preview for the strip (which I believe is solely the colors for the first panel, without the lines visible), Stiffey’s character models for Air Hammer, Antagony, and Airazor are included below.

Nightglider & Merriweather

Is there a Transformer that transforms into a squirrel? Oh, other than Akira Senpai!

Dear Squirrel Specifier,

There are a fair number of them. Amongst the most well known are Nook and Night Watch the Autobot Cassettes, the Maximal Nightglider and the Predacon Dark Scream. Other, lesser known examples include Rococo, a Eukarian colonist who fell victim to the renegade Airachnid; Parasquire, a Maximal member of the Resistance who specialized in flying attacks; and perhaps most unusually, Ratchet.
