Transformers Gaiaverse

The development of Transformers Gaiaverse is currently on hold. There is no planned date for when I will revisit it.

This project was originally fueled by the growing frustration of Hasbro not giving us any good TF show as of recent. And while the mentality of "fine, I'll do it myself, then" has driven me several years in private, I no longer have that passion.

I may revisit this AU at a later point and publish my notes, since I have put a lot of work into them.

Edit: I'm currently going through my Inbox and reading through so many questions you guys have left me. I'm touched to see that so many were interested in this AU and wanted to learn more about it. Thank you for your curiosity

Redesigning Shockwave! I'm finally motivated again to continue with this worldbuilding project, but as I'm updating some lore I noticed some designs needed to be tweaked in order to fit the story line.

Optimus was Sentinel Prime's secretary, but also owned a library where he archived all kinds of obscure texts. There he would hosts a reading club which would eventually bring together many important characters.

Megatron started off as a miner before eventually becoming a gladiator to climb up the social ladder and gain popularity.

I started developing this AU after the Netflix TF trilogy aired which was supposed to be for a mature audience. Aside from gore, there is nothing mature about it. With this AU I want to tackle heavy themes like politics (they're not at war for fun, duh) but also the question and purpose of existence.

I use TFA, TFP, Beast Machines and G1 as my references.

Thank you so much!!

While designing the characters I pulled up their G1, TFA and TFP designs and compared them. What characteristics were present in all continuities? When I draw my first sketches, I try to capture that same essence.

The next thing I think about is the body shape. Similar to TFA, I strive to have expressive silhouettes that tell a lot about the characters just by looking at them. For example, for Mirage I went for something that looked like he was tip toeing around in a sneaky cape.

Some characters are purposely designed to look more alien and somewhat organic in comparison to other characters, who purposely resemble what a typical mecha to looks like.

It all boils down to keeping in mind that they are alien synthetic life forms. Their home planet provides a different environment: Lower gravity, no moisture. Especially because of the lower gravity, they can maintain forms that would be unthinkable for human built machines to have.

Thanks a lot!

The colors stand for what pronouns the characters are going to use when speaking English. Black>>he/him, very dark red>>she/her and dark yellow>>they/them.

do you mind if i make fanart of these designs? with credit, obviously!!

Thank you so much!! I worked hard on them and I'm very happy about the positive feedback I've received :)))
