The TargetRod picture is finally drawn holy fuck anyway @tilly-tittle WOOOO~!!! They're all on a spontaneous date! What could possibly happen?

i love the sketchy look of this style it makes me happy

close ups of each of their cute faces~

inspiration picture~

Megatron, exasperated: Uh.. what do you have there, Rodimus?

Rodimus, with his emotional support polycule lounging on/beside him: A smoothie :3

(Ultra Magnus is staring very intensely at Sureshot who is like

He hasn’t done anything yet but Sureshot’s mere existence tests him.)

UPDATE

THEY SURVIVED (for the most part)

OH MY GOSH THEY’RE SO BEAUTIFUL

GUESS WHO ARRIVED IN THE MAIL

but quite Christmas Day but Boxing Day is close enough

they're stupid..... but this one

made me think of how apparently rodimus on the lost light has... rodimus stars??? so??? praise kink????

Oh my stars these are so good!!! XD

1. Sureshot is so smug omg I can hear his smile

2. Plot twist, Rodimus is on fire actually, which definitely has nothing to do with the house being in fire and/or Sureshot daring him to go full “flames out” indoors, truuuust

3. Sureshot’s mind works in mysterious ways, Pointblank should be used to it by now

4. RODDY THAT IS NOT HOW WE DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING IN THERAPY- oh wait he avoids Rung like the plague, that explains a lot

5. Awwwww TwT so true, Crosshairs you are the favourite for a reason, primus knows how this polycule should function without you

Also yes, Rodimus gives out Rodimus stars to commemorate achievements that people done but he also hands them out like candy and the criteria is basically just be yourself

Magnus has one for “neatest hand writing” and Megatron’s is “for abandoning his evil ways”

I think Thunderclash’s was “for surviving his own funeral”

i want fort max as a bottom and to be big sad.. i mean he gets better... but he starts as big sad. i've never mention this bc i didn't know how but i also want overlord as a bottom more-- not exactly mpreg but I CAN'T FIND FICS MAN 😭

deathsaurus is big and mad, but he has a soft spot for children... and a cool wife... so he's def a good mom... i wish he was in that poll contest--

for targetrod...

i am firm in believing sureshot likes being creampied but haaaaaates the idea of being sparked. he hates the idea of something inside of him and relying on him.. so no worries on carrier sureshot. he's yeeting the fetus so far.

both rodimus and pointblank have the world's most heavenly child-bearing hips but their maturity levels are debatable. like i don't have a good grip on idw rodimus compared to you (pause) but pointblank would be a pretty good carrier... stress-levels aside-

crosshairs is FLUFFY. he's got some good weight on him. how i draw him is debatable but as an official character he's big. perfect for carrying and protecting itty bitty sparklings inside. i love him very much and i think, while he'd struggle self-worth wise, he'd enjoy being a carrier >:D

damn this was long i'm sorry--

no no no please yap some more

IDW Rodimus is depicted as a carrier in fandom a lot and there’s a lot of headcanons around that fact (also I just like believing he’s into breeding lol so put that mech in a mating press-) so he’s usually a pretty good carrier, gets attached fast to his sparkling and is generally very protective

Pointblank would be very responsible, I see him as a very practical carrier (his partners find him carrying hot but he’s lowkey over it lol) but yes!! Crosshairs!! I was just thinking about how he’d be an adorable carrier, I want that mech spoiled, he will want for nothing, he just needs to be happy

>w< anyways

I don’t know much about Dez, Overlord and Fort Max beyond the what little I saw in the comics

Deathsaurus had like, a personal faction/army or smt, I believe that translates well to parenthood

I will look out for Overlord fics for you babes but yeah I don’t think he bottoms that often, a tragedy really

the babies both in cookie colours and a liberal interpretation of their regular colouring

MY HEART

THE CREATURES

THEY’RE SO CUTE AND TASTY

I have found a way for TargetRod to work in the IDW-verse…

I will take Headmasters lore and, during the war, make Pointblank, Sureshot, and Crosshairs a team of Targetmasters.. with Pointblank as their leader. Later on they broke up as a team, but Sureshot and Pointblank stuck together while Crosshairs went off to become a weapons specialist. Later on, after lore and shit, they join the Lost Light. Pointblank joins the Security Team first thing (imma just pretend it makes sense), Sureshot fucks around, and Crosshairs takes up odd jobs.

Pointblank, like Sureshot, has an ego, bred from years of leadership and dedication to the Autobot cause. Unlike Sureshot, he doesn’t parade it around and prefers to keep his ego hidden under his stoicism. In fact, he has to keep Sureshot in check half the time… they both have some weird romantic feelings toward each other that they’ve never confessed but they both already know… so… yeah Pointblank and Sureshot are some unofficial couple. Bitter and both have egos the size of Unicron’s fat ass.

Crosshairs is a lot more… quiet. He keeps to himself and, after the war ended, tried to adjust to the quiet life. He does his job on the LL and gets by, learning to be without weapons or equipment (he can’t get over the guilt of being the mech who made those weapons of mass death and destruction, he can’t stop feeling guilty, it’s making him so distant—). He stays in touch with Sureshot and Pointblank, but they’re both really into their own stuff, so Crosshairs stays to the side…

But Brainstorm remembers Crosshairs from their past, all his technical skills in weapons management and manufacturing, so he brings Crosshairs around the lab a lot. That can be how Rodimus eventually meets Crosshairs, as Rodimus knows of Sureshot’s antics and he probably has to see Pointblank often due to their occupations.

Augh and that’s where my brain ends.. sorry for the idea dump I hope it makes sense?? Idk I have the wiki and The Headmasters cartoon to base these assholes off of—

YES!!!

Crosshairs being Brainstorm’s assistant is a great way for Rodimus to get to know him!!

Like Brainstorm is on Team Rodimus + knew about the Overlord thing + Perceptor is more Drift’s friend than Rodimus’s (in my mind anyways) so Brainstorm would be the science officer Rodimus would go to for any of his impulsive ideas (or to slack off oop)

My idea of how they’d get together would probably be Rodimus and Crosshairs befriending each other and having a thing

Rodimus out of his usual desire of being useful tries and help Crosshairs reach out to Pointblank and Sureshot more

Cue Rodimus picking up on Pointblank and Sureshot’s feelings for each other but not the fact they have like an unspoken thing going on

Rodimus would try and set the two up and inadvertently court them both or something (I think Crosshairs would be supportive cause Rodimus is really cute when he’s oblivious lol)
