Three out of four OG Rescue Bots done!
Heatwave was super fun to do (I definitely went overboard with the colors… even if you can’t see some of them, it’s the thought that counts 😅
It has come to my attention that it is exceptionally hard to put flag colors on a none-white surface and be able to tell what they are, especially with the lighting I chose (I’ll adjust it later so you can actually see the colors and know what flags they represent)
Anyway, time for the list of flags!:
Demi-AroAce on the big flag and on his left shoulder
Bisexual flag on his left shoulder and right foot (this applies to him and Kade)
Pansexual flag on his helmet and left arm-tire
Apagender/Inersgender flag on his windshield, the upper party banner on his ladder, and his right leg-tire (I think… can’t exactly see it bc of the blending mode making it look white, but I think that’s what I put there, I could be wrong, I have bad memory… 😅) btw, apagender just means ‘gender apathy’ or literally not caring abt your gender and how others perceive your gender regardless of if you’re trans or not
Genderqueer flag on his right arm, right leg-tire, and the lower party banner on his ladder
Demiromantic flag on his right arm-wheel thingy (sorry no technical terms today-)
Demisexual flag on his left arm-wheel thingy
Polyamorous flag on his left shoulder (the newer version I’ve seen pop up, mainly because the design is easier to replicate due to the lack of literal Pi symbol. I was originally meant to put it on the big flag, but I was unsure and decided against it)
Finally, the Rainbows: the side of his helmet, his left leg, his right arm-tire, and his windshield
I used quite a few flags on this, huh? I love Heatwave and am mostly projecting my own, personal identities on him, but I do want to be inclusive to as much of the community as possible! I don’t want to come off as disingenuous by throwing flags around for the sake of representation, so just let me know if you find this in any way offensive or hurtful or if you want to let me know if a flag I’ve used is controversial, etc!
I’m always open to criticism, and once more, headcanons for Boulder and the others so I may add on!
