#skywire oc

I have this one au where there is a tf continuity, that figured out cross-continuity traveling and they use this to fight against the Decepticons (they already got Armada Screamer).

So one day, all the Redfire children are suddenly kidnapped taken to a strange base, where they get the explanation to everything and they they're supposed to save their parents in this continuity.

Skywire would be absolutely fascinated by this idea, because this would be a way to finally find a perfect continuity for himself. But whenever he sees one where Jet and Red are happy, he gets scared that he'd destroy that happiness.

Solenoid would be surprised to find out that Red is xer other father and would absolutely yell at home, despite him not being from xer continuity. Red would apologize to xer and tell them that he won't leave xer ever.

The twins would reunite and just have some stuff to talk through.

Short Thrust would be scared to mess up, because of her being the trigger and always getting yelled at by Skywire whenever he meets her. Most of the children would try to reassure her. Except Skywire, who just... doesn't like her, because she takes Red and Jet away from him. But eventually, he gets kinda protective over her.

There could also be the aristocats scene I talked about in a previous post. Basically, the children found Red first and when they helped him find Jet, he just introduced the children like that :3

the og post I made with the sketched design has been updated but I wanted to make a separate post SO HERE

@smoked-salmon-official & @andorian-from-walmart Take the re-designed silly terrible man!!! I am way happier with this one even if the pen decided to smudge.

His new design is based off this wonderfully stupid vehicle called the “Terrafugia Transition”.. the second I saw it I knew I had to redesign Skywire..

It's only lineart

When we get all the colors (I'm waiting for you, Kaz) I'll color them

This too me about two and a half hours-

Seven little fucked up kids

All on one canvas

I only have any idea of how like- maybe Kaz's redfire child, came into existence.

I am willing to bet actually stuff that your redfire child was created from mpreg. Entirely because you have done it before.

Time travel notoriously sucks, what did Skywire do to deserve this???

Jokes aside tho, bro looks great <3

Thanks so much! And that’s just how it rolls on this blog pookie I throw the babies into the fire—

Anyway I do wanna approach that question tho… What did Skywire do?

I’ll explain.

Skywire is designed to have originated from the Unicron Trilogy universe, specifically the Armada portion. He was created between Jetfire and Red Alert during some drunken, stress-relieving hookup (because war is hell especially in the UT), ending up with Jetfire being sparked.

They have the kid, name it Skywire because Red Alert wanted Hotwire but Jetfire wanted something that represented the protoforms flight ability. They take care of Skywire separately as they are serving different roles during the war and, eventually, end up just giving up on any sort of stability. The war was too great, too time consuming, too.. much.

Skywire was left to his lonesome, still around yet never really acknowledged. He grew bitter and angry, not understanding the war at first and just letting out all his rage onto everyone around him. One thing leads to another, and he comes face-to-face with Unicron (or one of his slaves he uses to puppet) and a deal with the devil is struck.

Skywire doesn’t care about the war, he just wants his parents back! And technically, Unicron does do that.. time rewinds a bit, and Skywire lives a childhood full of love and attention, both his parents very present and avoiding the war entirely, ignoring all calls to action just to be with their son. It’s great, until it’s not, and his parents get killed during a Decepticon attack. Skywire goes to Unicron again… and again… and again. Each time begging for another chance at getting attention or love or SOMETHING.

Each and everytime is different in some way, big or small. Sometimes continuities are completely different, sometimes nothing substantial is different but maybe an optic is a different shade of blue. Something is always different, yet every single time, Skywire is not satisfied.

With every rewind, Skywire actually loses a piece of his spark, of his soul really, as Unicron consumes more and more of Skywire’s energy until he eventually dies or becomes an empty husk of himself— well, that hasn’t happened yet. But Skywire is really trying to play God, taking a more apathetic approach to every rewind until he starts “taking care” of problems himself (killing people that may disrupt his loving family, separating his parents from every single other person that could possibly be in their lives, or completely killing them if they do something Skywire doesn’t like).

What started as a little kid wanting desperately to be loved and be paid attention to by his parents turns into a power trip, a mech playing as God to real people, casting judgement on whatever he wants, all while losing more and more of himself to the Devil.. basically.

It’s almost 3am and I’m fucking exhausted but here is Skywire’s official reference including color and a side angle yip yip

@andorian-from-walmart and @smoked-salmon-official I know you’re both working on drawings so here ya go take the boy *yeets child*
