#transformers original continuity

Blurr - The Pride of Velocitron

It's really hard being the best all the time. The horrible burden of being the bestest, the smartest, most impressive mech in every room you enter can weigh heavy on the backs of regular mechs.

Original sketch done by @katzske, thank you so much for your help as always!

I'm bad at writing so forgive me if any of this doesn't make sense lol this is just a fun lil thing I did

Also designed starscream and skywarp for this Au tho they aren't really apart of the main artist crew

Update to the first character lineup - you can find it here!

Thank you @tendebill for creating more phenomenal character designs for my fanfic!!!!

They're absolutely marvelous!! <3 <3 <3 <3

I especially love Rem's design - this character will be making a bigger impact in the story soon!!

A disabled Vehicon OC for @redsea8me’s post-war game idea! (Sorry for the inaccurate cane, I’ll fix it later :))

His left (our right) leg got blown off and the Decepticons weren’t willing to fix him, seeing him as a liability. He was abandoned so he went Neutral, disappearing during an attack on a mining operation he was assigned to and used his dead cohorts’ parts and spare scrap to make a very rudimentary leg with no feeling (or a lot of pain), limited mobility, and fragile.

And now in post-war Cybertron, he’s made a good life for himself as part of the new Prime’sguard (acting as Optimus’s bodyguards since he’s still alive here, and as general enforcers for the population)

But he still has some deep-seated grudges and lost trust in others…

Energon, all forms (can be cubed solid via gelatinization, or a cubed liquid) it can also be slurried into a paste which can then be made into doughs and made to form breads, dumplings, wraps, etc. It will have different colors depending on the specific mineral makeups.

Worms! Scraplets in this are nasty little wormlike parasites which burrow into armor, but alternatively, they can also be eaten too. Good fried, fermented, or as a walking around snack in a dumpling or salad or something.

Skace, the worm eaters, are mostly harmless to Cybertronians, as they don't burrow, but they're still aggressive and bite ankles, though occasionally they act more docile. Some city-states have significantly less hostile Skace subspecies which don't get regularly eaten. Their outer shells are hardened metal, and their bones are metal as well, their "meat" is a soft protoform-like substance, which can be cooked, eaten raw, or occasionally turned into jerky.

That yellow fruit is still nameless so far, but it plugs into its own tree, and it has port connectors in case it needs to plug into another, healthier one for nutrients. The pods have no peel, but a tide-pod-like gummy outer layer which can be punctured with one's teeth, though they are SUPER sour. If the layer's successfully removed, they have slides, like a pre-peeled lemon does. If it's un-successful, you just get all the juice in your mouth at once.

Treats like the energon cordial are rarer, being usually event or festival treats, often with a gel outside and a liquified energon center. Some of them may be high-grade energon, or may be specialty blends designed for specific occasions.

Megatron's attemp at social distancing fails miserably

Idk if i should make a third continuity, i'm not even sure about distinction between characters in Transformers: Surge and Transformers: Resistance. TFR is also a very new concept and i don't even have ideas for a lot of the characters.... Also TFR is about Elita vs Shockwave on the abandoned Cybertron, so Megatron and Starscream would barely be in it.

Transformers as a "natural" species that's like eusocial insects, budded by the cityformer titans and living in colonies in/on the titans which forms the countries/cities. Primus is a legendary progenitor who may or may not exist.

The titan is nominally the ruler of the colony, but they're slow and snooze most of the time because of their high energy consumption, and only the cityspeakers can communicate with them. Cityspeakers' position is pseudo-religious and in practice they have all the power. They're supposed to voice their titan's will, but since nobody else has any way of knowing said will.....

Different altmode types, like warframes, correspond to insect castes like warriors. Functionism is the standard practice but doesn't have a name. It's aggressively normalized and portrayed as natural and a must, but it has its opponents who believe bots have no right to do this to each other and that they've grown beyond castes because they aren't just animals anymore.

Megatron and co. rebelled against their colony's cityspeaker for the above reasons and because they were mad. They were supposed to transition into democracy afterwards, but well......

They made Starscream their colony's new cityspeaker, but he's not a fan of cityspeakers being severely demoted and Liege Megatron having all the power now... (Brutus-coded?)

The problems with having an immortal spark, is often you wake in bodies that aren't your own. First, it was with the Autobot Hive Factory that first spawned you, then the grub-frame that Skyfire provided that grew into your first and only *perfect* body, then the chain of frames that Skywarp grew and assembled for you, and now th- The welcome message that you remember. Despite a chain of frames, generations worth of creations having passed, vorns of battle, and the damn factory coding to self-talk in second person still comes up. The welcome message that you remember. You do not own yourself. You belong to the hive. You are part of the Hive's defense system. You will protect the hive from intrusion from Seeker-Hunters, a slaughter's worth of them. Upon death, you will be recycled into a new frame and processor. Welcome Unit ST4R ONLINE.
