#transformer design

Some rough sketches from earlier this year of Piston's Conjunx, Bug Smasher and their sparkling Lighting Rod. Eventually, Piston makes it back to Cybertron, gets reforged to look less like Breakbee, starts a successful career as a lounge singer. Piston is interested in anybody who's red, taller than them and especially if they can fly, the name "Bug Smasher" was just an added bonus. Lighting Rod's whole deal is he's a 1 for 1 of Cliffjumper.

Brought to life the moment the allspark struck our soil, Earth was never meant to be cosmically important in this story it became important because of us, she represents man, animal, plant and planet, our strength united but with a cost. If she transforms, everybody dies

Gaea is the entire planet earth brought to life as a transformer, the allspark began to create her the moment it arrived on our planet but she was a creation of such magnitude that i took until the modern day for her to be born. As such, dispite her name gaea is not the earth mother, unlike the other two planetformers she doesn't see her inhabitants as her children for we predate her

we bleed onto the same earth, and when we bleed, she calls us her sisters and brothers. Gaea believes that life on earth is the greatest thing ever created and that the two gods who claim she's one of them are but pathetic mockeries of the people she considers to be her true kin.

she believes beings like us are better in every way than so-called gods, gaea lacks the cosmic powers primus and unicron share, she is in fact just a robot that turns into a planet and her ability to act is limited but she's still formidable and holds the power of everyone who's lived in our world, indomitable spirit pumping through her veins

Gaea developed her strongly held beliefs after two encounters shortly after first coming online, first the autobots and decepticons being very kind to her to ensure she didn't transform out of panic, second, right after they left her alone with her thoughts, she was contacted outside of time and space by primus and unicron even though they were both out of the picture at this time.

the ensuing conversation with her self-proclaimed brothers disgusted her to such a point and was so overbearing compared to what she had just experienced with the mortals that she immediately began to dispise everything her "brothers" stood for and renounced both of them. Claiming the flora, fauna , and mecha fauna that inhabited her as her true siblings, whom she would defend with her non-existent teeth and nails,

The blue one is the original, yes shes a girl, no she's not pathfinder, a space shuttle acidentally brought to life during an altercation with the vehicons, when they couldn't have her, they made their own, but the copy was too perfect and turned on them

Cosmos was created during a mission where the throttlebots fought the vehicons over stolen tech at a launch pad in broad daylight, during the fight a cache of energon was spilled and cosmos was acidentally brought to life, turned to the autobot side by their compassion

She goes to show that "minibot" is a relative term

She's smaller than other space shuttles, but she's still huge. She's even taller in alternate mode. Cosmos is very touch starved as she doesn't get out much. People notice when something that big goes missing.

The kids were forced to initiate cosmos on the ways of their little club in secret, so the humans wouldn't find out, her height brought a lot of complications but it all worked out in the end. And they were able to fetch an autobot badge her size, but then,

The night after cosmos was created, the vehicons returned, flexing their exponentially growing skill with cybertronian tech they created a 1 to 1 copy of cosmos except male And convinced the big guy to fight the original

when the copy touched the original a feedback loop from their identical parts caused their minds to briefly scramble, allowing them to see each other's short lives up until that point, copy cosmos then quickly turned on his creators and joined the autobots, the two cosmos consider each other siblings, they can change colors on command so you never know which is which

While one is off having fun the other takes their place so the humans don't notice the missing shuttle, these are lonely and boring existances but its the best they have. The two are happy when the transformers eventually go public, since it means they get to actually do something with their lives.

Due to the feedback loop altering their systems both cosmos have the ability to float, the original Cosmo's spark having developed a mutation where it animates the graviton particles as part of her body the same way it animates metal allowing her to control gravity's effect on her, the same effect copied to her brother when they touch and recreate the feedback loop
