#refraktor

while I was studying for the mcat 2 years ago, I drew some self-motivators after every practice test :)

and now that I've got an interview tomorrow for my dream school, I drew em again!!

these are how my self-pep talks went btw. they went uh.. two very distinct ways.

and of course, a very special guest :)

Makes sense that he/they were in the concept art, they're the only one of the 1984 Cons missing from the film (I also wonder if the Triple Changers exist in concept art)

Also I can't help but notice how similar Reflector's build is to Soundwave's

It's not exact, but it's pretty close

A mass produced vehicon based on decepticon social media influencer Viewfinder, they're equipped to monitor all events on earth with their Shudder drones to go places they cannot, intended to match the six clan's Ida and her shuteyes

Without nightbird's inexperienced vision to make the vehicons into experimental works of art, the only thing that differentiates them from their inspiration are technological limitations, under big hoss for the short time he was in charge and later alpha strike and omega doom, the vehicons grow more numerous and indistinct, filling specific tactical roles rather than serving to test new technologies and approaches to things, exemplified by the first vehicons to be successfully mass produced, each Refraktor and shudder identical to the last.

Their personalities are intentionally dulled but Viewfinder's was so strong in the first place they still end up quite chatty, although you wouldn't be able to tell because the Refraktors only communicate on a secure radio frequency inaccessible to anybody but the vehicons that know about it, they have a comment on every piece of information they see and gossip incessantly, the loss of one Refraktor does not mean the loss of information because they likely already told the other Refraktors about it.

Each member of the Reflector trio has highly developed infrared vision that can record images in darkness, through camouflage, and at great distances. In camera mode, Reflector can emit powerful flash explosions that leave enemies blind and disoriented for up to 15 seconds.

When Galvatron the Triple-Eye conquered Cybertron, he had Crystal City rebuilt as the Panopticon, each sliver of crystal being reshaped into mirrors. There was no place where a prisoner could be out of their own sight, out of sight of the other prisoners. Constant self-observation alone is usually enough to disturb even the most narcissistic of bots, but more potent yet is the constant fear of appearing out of control to one's peers.

Bots who failed to maintain perfect order were taken to Crypticon, the saurian interrogation city/morgue. Over time, the bodies of the criminals were re-smelted into reflective mirrors to coat more and more of Cybertron's surface until my Panopticon covered the world, a shining metal eye in the heavens.
