i'm pure of heart and soul and mind i think

Outlier [link] - For when one uses outlier instead of person/boy/girl/etc. It does not have to be exclusively

"Okay, I think I'm in the right place. Now all I have to do is find the two cowboy sharks," he muttered to himself, searching for the twins. His right servo held the Metal Wind Chimes (he fmanaged to find them). He walked for a while and saw the building he was looking for. He also found the ones he was looking for.

"Hello? You two are Outlier and Flintlock, right?" the racer asked cautiously as he approached the building.

Outlier quickly whipped out his gun, taking cover behind his older brother, Flintlock.

"WHO ARE YA?!?! STATE YER BUSINE- ouh are those wind chimes? Wait, who told ya 'bout this place? Yer not that paparazzi Record was talkin' 'bout, right?"

"Slow yer roll there, Outs. He dun' look like he's tryna harm no one. What's yer name, fella?"

"Trick er Tr- oh! I didn't know y'all lived 'ere! Been a while. Y'all got any candy fer a cowboy like me?"

//this slightly continues off the last post on the blog//

"Aye we do live 'ere"

Incoherent yelling in the background

"Any candy? Uhhh, gimme one sec lad"

"'ere, ye take a few fer yer siblin too"

I love that hc so so so much

Thundercracker may be the same size as Skywarp and Starscream but his frame is thicker and denser, hell he’s on par with Megatron’s frame because his outlier ability would probably kill him if his frame wasn’t made like that.

Of course it does cause issues, he has trouble taking off and burns more fuel when flying due to the added omph it takes to stay in the air. He also has trouble with his internals overheating at times. I like to hc that along with his lack of understanding of his own ability paired with the trapped heat of his engine, he’s prone to going boom when worked up or over worked.

But Thundercracker is more of a silent aggressor, after all he wants to be polite even if you piss him off but eventually there’s a breaking point and that breaking point is literally just boom.

Hot Rod isolates himself not wanting to hurt others until he meets another outlier named Soundwave.

Poor Roddy…

But him meeting Soundwave and feeling his outlier…

Soundwave enjoys delving into Hot rod’s mind because its warm..

hot rod enjoys warming the space and himself with his outlier for Soundwave and only Soundwave at first.

They are yet another flavor of creature- obsessed with religion, loyal to their trine (also later Megatron a decent bit actually. Might depend on flavor), and desperate for a purpose :>

Best parallel in TF lore for them would very much be Sunstorm.

Seri is an Outlier, whose ability nearly killed them the first time it flared up. Their spark didn't account for the cold- constructed frame it was given, but after that scare incident, their mentor got them upgraded plating that can withstand their heat. Now they can dip in lava and be fine, much like Grimlock (don't toss em into the sun or something tho-). They don't exactly have a /radioactive/ spark like Sunstorm, their ability is very magma central. They can exert temperatures that can melt most materials; metal, rock, etc. Their power was controlled in the new frame they were given, and thus the energy is condensed to their servos and peds. Even so, it can empower their jets or firepower as well in short bursts. if they don't keep themselves in control to a certain degree tho, they could get hot enough to damage their own optics or melt themselves a bit. They had troubles when younger with literal meltdowns, but after moving on from their mentor to be with their trine, they still carry what they were taught when it comes to composure (as well as how they actually got their religious fanatics from their mentor lol).

Their trine mates are Codecracker/Soara and Levatair. Despite the tension regarding CC, they do still are quite forgiving of her behavior. The main thing Seri doesn't like is when CC disrespects their Trine Leader, so they do step in occasionally to defuse things.

When it comes to the start of the war, Seri was absolutely appalled at Sentinel betraying the true Primes, and absolutely rooted for Megatron ripping the guy in half as divine retribution. (I will note that ngl I am not sure of one solid continuity, tho that's a clear event when also thinking of another one of my characters I have in mind.) Seriph admired Megatron's strength and sense of justice, and their perspective of that was rather warped from what they wanted to interpret it as. They followed Megatron with all the other seekers, but was unsure about the Optimus Prime factor. Primus had chosen Orion, and given him the matrix; but Seriph believes that OP is misguided and misunderstood the responsibility given to him (ultimately, OP would be basically the only one to be able to convince them to change tho ngl). Instead as they plunge into war, Seriph believes it is the era of the next purge like The Flood in Christian shit. They believe it's their duty to reduce all those who stand against their promised new world to ash and molton slag. Despite the fact that they are a brutal killer, they do feel some level of sympathy for those they feel were misguided, and often will give a short prayer before sending them to the Allspark. although there are some they come across that they only give silence if they believe that person belongs to the Pit. They view death as more of a reset button for those who deserve a second chance in the new world. Under the impression that after the storm has settled, they truly will be able to rebuild it better from the carnage.

Theyre believe of frames being fleeting, and replaceable, definitely stem from their cold-construct background; as well from the fact they they had needed to be rebuilt when they barely survived. (that instance is what instilled their deep seeded belief that Primus allowed them to remain for a /reason/)
