Rages

Hey Invader Zim fandom! Hiii! I was a little hesitant to post my ocs here because I don’t know how this fandom reacts to them. So I’ve been lurking, watching you all.

I made up an entirely new species of alien too, I love ants so we got an ant alien thing. They live on a planet where insects rule the world lol. Antherons are super strong and can shapeshift for whatever reason.

Gloop is… I love her. She’s a lazy Navigator who only cares about her job and nobody else.

Here’s some art I drew over the past week. Last image shows off Ramulus’s Irken form.

wada sez: Roy Stiffey was evidently a big fan of Beast Wars, and worked on tons of strips featuring toy-only characters from the series—though they’re not really serialised in any way, so I’m not bunching them up for this new archive like I sometimes do. The twist here is that the Insecticons are actually named after the Beast Wars character Insecticon! They appear prior to their arrival on Earth without any of their beast-mode kibble. Per Bashar on deviantART: “I always wondered why some of the BW figures had generic names? ie..Dinobot, Insecticon. So this was just my idea for an explanation.” A couple of panels featuring a transformation for Prowl were cut to make more room for dialogue; you can find the sketches below. Stiffey would produce character models for basically all of his strips, so there’s also a ton of those below—including one for Silverbolt, who didn’t actually appear in any of the final comics, just for completion.

Dear Beast Believer,

I've already spoken about that incarnation of Frostbite, I believe. As for the others…

Longhorn was once a Predacon by the name of Ramulus. Known as a stern loner, he had been abandoned by his fellow Predacons after he became injured in battle. Luckily, he was discovered by an Autobot medic named Ratchet, who treated him despite his enemy allegiance. Ramulus was moved by Ratchet's kindness, and decided to abandon the Predacon cause. He became a Maximal, and changed his name to Longhorn to match his change of heart.

As for Reptilion, he hails from a time period before the Cybertronian Civil Wars. As a Predacon scientist, he was a genius without peer who focused on studying monolithic Cybertronians such as Fortress Maximus. Obsessed with discovering their origins, he traveled far and wide in search of these Titans' origins, believing them to hail from a lost city from Cybertron's Golden Age known as Doradus. His only companion was his research companion, Springload, who transformed into a Predacon frog.

Reptilion and Springload both disappeared one solar cycle, and nothing was heard of them for some time. Eventually, one of them returned—Springload. He had clearly lost his senses, spouting nonsense that they had found Doradus and that Reptilion had been taken by "the great terrible beast". The Predacon Council of the time publicly refused to acknowledge Springload's story, but rumor has it that eons later, they used the data from his memory banks to construct their own titan: the Predacon fortress known as Scorponok.
