honestly though tymbal is ultramega adorable, i-im here to express my (huge and towering) interest in learning more about ur oc? covers face
w well it’s… g gosh that is so nice for u to say um
Tymbal is way more a persona than an OC… Auto is actually like. Basically me. Me robot. Me is noisy autistic cicada helicopter. So there isn’t too much to tell personality/interest wise but like i guess for backstory
I thought it would be cool to have more neutrals and more bug aliens and more helicopters in tf and I like cicadas so there it is. And I just… really do feel very pleased about her power. I like powers that are short range and really brutal and visceral as fuck so like a robot that can hug you or grab onto your wing or ur transport and just vibrate you so hard ur fluids foam up and ur plating starts coming apart and ur bolts start to shake loose aaah… Auto doesn’t have much formal training and is terrible in long range fighting but auts outlier skill really does the ticket in a jam and takes ppl by surprise.
Auto would be a neutral who went offplanet on one of those majority/entirely disabled groups like we’ve mentioned. Auts one of the many circuitvaried counselors on the ship but auto also does double duty as security bc of auts outlier abilities. Auto considered staying with auts colony after the war ended but came back to cybertron because auto knew there would be so many mechen struggling with the transition and trauma and auto wanted to help. Auto is big on disability activism and minibot rights and likes to carry tiny friends on joyrides esp if they have impaired mobility.Â
Also auto was a dirty decepticon sympathiser prewar but not enough to formally align autself with the movement when fighting broke out. Auto is still largely suspicious of and untrusting towards Autobots.
