Transformers Fan Thread
Pretty much I want to do something like "Undertale Weeaboo Con" and just make a thread for the Tranformers Fanbase! Like post gifs, videos, or just stuff you want to say about transformers here... because I can never find any TF fans to talk to. Just keep it PG since it's a kids forum here :P It doesn't need to be any specific continuity either, just transformers in general!
Dude, I LOVE TRANSFORMERS! My room is wall to wall Transformers ya know! I have everything from the bedspread to posters (and yes, I am a girl IRL but hey, when you're a nerd, you're a nerd!) Anyone know when the new season of Robots in Disguise is coming out?
Dude bummer! I guess RID wasn't that popular huh? TFP got at least 3 seasons out of it if I recall - between the two main parts of the show and beast hunters. I hope they have a new series - they'd BETTER or I am gunna sue Hasbro or threaten to sick Unicron's wrath on them! BTW I have a 1985 Japanese edition remake of Optimus Prime (with Roller included) in my personal Autobot collection. I also have Energon Megatron and Starscream - don't judge, Starscream was always a favorite. And even diehard Autobot fans like me gotta have a couple Decepticons in her arsenal right? I even have an Autobot insignia necklace, a customized clock and light switch cover. And for my last birthday, my kid brother got one of his friends to design a custom Autobot insignia for me! Heck, I even have my mirror covered in Transformers stickers! Also, where did you find your knockout necklace? Besides Starsceram, I have to say that Knockout is one of my favorite Decepticons. I just love how cookoo that mad doctor side of him is!
Yeah, I'm usually up that early anyways. Couldn't they just move it to a later time or something? I'd rather have something along the line of Rescue Bots or Prime to keep it interesting. At least we still have Heatwave and the gang while we wait right? But personally, I'd rather see Megatron get his aft handed to him on a silver platter by Optimus daily than watch a bunch of rescues on a small island like Griffin Rock.
I INSPIRED SOMEONE I'M SO PROUD
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE MISTAKE THEY MADE IN G1 WHERE SOUNDWAVE FLEW INTO THE AIR AS A CASSETTE PLAYER
I really need to watch TFP again though xD
I know this is not what happens but in one of those gifs it looks like it transforms into two other transformers just cuz of the timeing. XD
Just so you know, there was a G1 Episode where Megatron made a copy of Optimus to lure the other Autobots into a trap involving energy crystals.
Optimus probably subspaces his trailer when he's not using it. A lot of Bots can do that trick. Where do you think they keep their weapons? A lot of TF wikis say each Transformer has their own personal subspace area to store things in. Prowl would store datapads, Optimus would store his trailer, etc. you get the idea right?
It's in the lore. Anyone who writes fan fiction (like I do) about these guys knows about the subspace fields. It's basic TF knowledge if you know the show as well as I do. Ever wonder what that light was around Optimus's trailer whenever it appears? That's him pulling it out of subspace. Duh. (facepalms) it's that obvious if you know what to look for.
Sorry, I didn't mean for that to come across as rude or anything. I tend to do that sometimes without realizing!
......Would he try to eat me if I called him cute? I get that he's horrifyingly viscous but he also has puppydog eyes. He kind of reminds me of Stitch.....if he never met Lilo and got even worse instead of turning nice.
In that case I will bring lots and LOTS of cake. Everyone likes some sort of cake. I will probably need Windstreak's help with making it and transporting it though. Cuz you know. Any cake for a cybertronian is going to be a lot of cake. Especially if it is for a cybertronian who is known for eating a lot of anything.
I used to be such a big fan of Transformers as a kid. Possibly my favourite line of toys. The only transformers series I really loved was Beast Wars. It has aged reeeeeally badly, though, but I still love the story and characters. The Beast Wars Megatron in particular is pretty hilarious.
Name: Wingstar
Faction: Autobot/Wrecker
Status: Online
Rank: Seeker/Triple Changer/Scout/EMT Field Medic
Colors: Optics: (same as armor)
Primary: Marine blue
Secondary: coppery bronze
Tertiary: Silver
Pattern: Racing stripes similar to RID 2015 Bumblebee
Weapons: Twin swords/katanas like Wheeljack and twin blasters along with an Energon bow.
Personality: Wingstar is your typical Wrecker. She's stubborn, likes to smash tailpipes in, and loves computers. She's the team hacker and field medic. She's as loyal as they come and would rather offline than betray her friends and allies to the enemy. She has a knack for making just about anyone fall for her quirky personality be they Autobot or Decepticon. She also loves to pull pranks as much as Miko.
History: Wingstar is the youngest member of the Wreckers. Her original Trine (group) of Seekers were all femmes (females) and they encouraged her to join since she was the only member old enough to join the war for Cybertron. As a skilled Hacker and ameture medic, Wingstar's talents were desperately needed. She joined the Wreckers shortly after Bulkhead left to join Team Prime. After Wheeljack took a shine to her, he took her under his wing to train her personally as her mentor. Eventually, they were called to assist her big brother Bumblebee on Tyger Pax. But something went wrong. They were able to secure the data they needed to steal, but Wingstar was captured by Soundwave during their escape. Bumblebee was being interrogated by Megatron and poor Wingstar was forced to watch as Megatron ripped out her brother's voice box and left him for scrap.
She was then given to Shockwave to be used in his experiments into triple changers. After years of tortuous experiments that made her the only triple changer to survive, she was stuffed in a stasis pod and sent to Earth, ending up at one of Shockwave's offsite labs from the Nemesis. Eventually, the lab was discovered by Team Prime and she was rescued by her big brother. After their happy little reunion, Bumblebee rarely let his beloved little sister out of his sight unless she was accompanied by one of the other members of the team be they human or bot. Ratchet eventually took her under his wing as Wheeljack had when he learned of her interest in studying Cybetronian medicine. He taught her just about everything he knows, even letting her help with the Synthetic Energon formula from time to time.
Ever seen the show Fullmetal Alchemist? Gluttony's name reminds me of a homunculus (man made human) by the same name. But I like this guy's design better. Especially the fact he's part predacon. Predaking would like him.
True, this is true. Though it would probably be a sort of Megatron/Starscream type of relationship. Failed attempts at taking control, being put in his place etc.
So there is this online game called second life where you can pretty much be whatever you want. I bought a transformer av and edited it until I thought it looked like how I might look if I was a cybertronian. Here is the result.
If the colors remind anyone familiar with my characters of Cuteseepie that's because that is my favrot color combo. No way was I not going to use it just because another one of my characters had it.
Close up. Hey wait....something seems off.....That expression. It's so serious.
Cybertronian me; "OH! BIRD!" :D
That's more like it.
She's er....a lot like Hypergoof. She watches bugs too. .....When she's not too afraid of crushing them to get near.
She is also very random.
Cybertronian me; "Look at this HUUUUUGGGEE carrot I found! It's like the biggest carrot ever!" :D
Her vehicle mode.
Cybertronian me; "Oh hia down there! You're really little. Have you seen some talking cars? I'm kind of lost. Oh wait. Was the you're little comment rude? I didn't mean to be rude. I've just never seen humans before and I heard you were small but.....oh I'm doing it again. I'm so sorry."
Me; (After getting over the shock of seeing a talking airplane) "It's ok. I sometimes make rude comments without meaning to too. ......What are you anyway?"
Cybertronian me; "Um....I think I'm an airplane. Does this form look ok? I didn't mess anything up did I? This is my first time doing an earth vehicle."
Me; "........Hu?"
Cybertronian me; "Airplanes ARE earth vehicles right?"
Me; ".......You're not from around here are you."
Cybertronian me; "Oh dear. Is it that obvious?"
Me; "Ya. Sorry."
Cybertronian me; "(Sigh) The first day on a new world is always the most difficult."
Me; "I feel the same way about school."
That yellow block is there because it is the one peace I couldn't recolor. At least it doesn't clash with the other colors too badly or something.
One last thing similar to Hypergoof....
She's not the best fighter. :/
Cybertronian me; "Ouchy! Decepticons are mean!" D:
So anyway. Her personality is already in place being just a cybertronian version of Hypergoof. I just need a name for her now. The username I have in second life is DracoSunshine. I don't know if that is cybertronian enough though. If anyone wants to throw out name suggestions for the pink and blue goofball I'd happily accept any that I think match the best. You don't have to of course. Just saying.
Dude, send me the link to Second Life! I wanna check that out! I wanna play as a Transformer too!
I'll send you a link in PM so it doesn't look like I'm advertising.
I just noticed one blaster is not like the other in the bot form. It's suppose to be. I'll have to fix that at some point but for the picture just pretend they are the same.
Also, just so it isn't thought that her lack of fighting abilities makes her useless she isn't just a comedy relief character. She does have a job being a messenger. What she lacks in her ability to fight with an opponent head on she makes up for in speed and maneuverability. She might be easy to take down once you manage to land a few good hits but you do actually have to land those hits first which is not so easy. She is a very new character so she might diverge away from just being a Hypergoof spin off over time.
Now for those who are more than just casual fans of transformers and know more would Pinklightning be a name a cybertronian would have? I'll probably use DracoSunshine in second life just because using my username is easier but I would like a separate name for her that is actually cybertronian sounding. I've found that such names are random but they also have a curtain feel to them too. I am not an expert on matching that feel so for those who know transformers better than I do does that name sound like one they would have?
Edit to say. When I showed this to my dad he figured she would have more power in a fight since she takes the form of a fighter plane. Just to be clear the power of her weapons aren't the problem. Her actual fighting style is the issue. She can fight well enough to get a message across enemy lines. She just relys too h.ard on being able to dodge to do much ground based fighting or fighting against too many people where she gets crowded and can't maneuver correctly so she's not the best for large battles. She is a lightweight as well and (as stated before) can't take too many hits. Hence the over reliance on dodging. She also picked the fighter plane form because it was fast and maneuverable. Not because of fire power.
I just thought of this. I'm going to make her be claustrophobic because of this. XD
If being cornered could mean my death I would be scared of small spaces too.
Also, this is a very new character who I am still working on so if something is wrong with her I will not throw out constructive criticism.
Wingstar - my own OC (this was drawn by my friend Nightbeat Prime on Quotev.com) is a Seeker triple changer thanks to Shockwave. She was kidnapped when on a mission to Tyger Pax with her big brother Bumblebee. She was used in Shockwave's experiments on triple changers and has a fear of tight places as well. All Seekers have that problem. (btw, name your character Starlane - it's the perfet name for a Seeker). All Seekers have a problem with tight places because they like to be in the air. Ask Starscream. He'll tell you.
LOL. I unknowingly followed a really common trait for seekers. That's funny. I just did what seemed logical for a flying creature that relys on speed. I guess the people who came up with seekers thought the same way. Starlane is a very good name. I'm not sure it matches my character though. I'd prefer something having to do with speed or wind.
By the way, nice color combo on Wingstar. I think those colors go well together.
Wingstar was drawn for me by my friend Nightbeat Prime from Quotev.com. I picked those colors since they're based on my clan. That's what I'm trying to make my AV in Second Life look like. That way I can get a more realistic design.
I wish I had the patience to do this kind of modeling in a more advanced program...I just built my OCs using the Fall of Cybertron character creator. Doesn't make them any less difficult to make and write up, just not nearly as personal in terms of design.
I wasn't a child of the 80s, but I did end up watching soooo much G1 from the tapes we rented from several video rental places (anyone remember these things? Or am I just showing my age right now?) I'm also embarrassed to admit that I've been struggling to decide if I want to buy any figures in the Combiner Wars line; seeing G1 Hound back for the first time in forever (FoC DLC skin doesn't count) and just how insane that Devastator figure is only makes it harder to keep budget and storage space in mind...
I didn't actually make the model. For the most part I just repainted something that already existed other than the earlike things which had not been that way before.
As for buying a figure. If the reason you're struggling with that is because of your age I wouldn't worry about that too much. Lots of older people buy toys. It's not as weird as society lets on.
I appreciate the comfort, but me being older isn't that much of a factor. It's more "will I bother using it any? Where will I display it? Are there things more worth my money than plastic I'm not likely to even look at all that often a few months down the road?"
With some help from Sky my new character is now dubbed Windstreak. It is a name generator name so someone else somewhere may have the name too but I've found that there is no such thing as an original name anyway and it matches so I'll use it.
I have found my people!!
Optimus? Um optimus? I think you're holoform is malfunctioning.
Here's my main character of four I've made. Yes, he's an Autobot flier, I don't care because all the Aerialbots. Also, I love the idea of flight.
And because I'm a lore nut/amateur writer, here's a wall of text.
Storm Vector came online before the Great War broke out across Cybertron. He learned quickly that he lived a privileged life, having been brought online as a scientific mind, but became fascinated by the caste system that others in his position would ignore. When it came time to pursue a specific path, Storm chose something…outside the norm: Cybertronian anatomy. He wasn’t aiming to simply repair damaged Cybertronians however, he grew interested in upgrading them, giving them abilities outside that they might normally possess. He tinkered with his own altmode and that of willing customers, eventually choosing to help out those in the lower castes for discounted or waived rates. Some of his lower caste clients ended up asking for more intensive procedures, which after a while Storm did try to accommodate out of compassion for the struggle these bots had dealt with simply due to conditions out of there control. While he succeeded in providing entirely new altmodes for some of these low-caste Cybertronians, a few of his operations ended badly, and certainly had been operating outside of Cybertronian law at the time. However, before he could be caught and charged with anything, the Great War broke out.
Storm initially was unsure of what side of the divide he fell on: certainly the message of overthrowing what felt like a tyrannical caste system resonated with his spark, but even assuming the newscasts were biased against the Decepticon movement he was uncertain about their methods. It wasn’t long, however, before he witnessed a cruel strike near his home city and saw the swath of destruction the Decepticon forces left in their way, caring none for the Cybertronians in their way unless they served a purpose to them. With that, he chose to side with the Autobots and began work as a field medic. His repair jobs are generally known to be impressive given the resources he has with him, though not quite something a professional medic like Ratchet would put together. He does however have something of a cheat: early in his tinkering days, he installed a prototype energon-infusing beam emitter into his left arm, allowing him to pump energon into an ally’s self-repair systems even from a short distance. The energy boost generally allows a Cybertronian’s body to start fixing itself, though Storm will still check for any potentially damaging shrapnel that the repair systems might not get on their own. He tries not to let any lost soldiers weigh too heavily on him, but sometimes his spark feels heavy over the losses he’s seen close up, and wonders if there was any way he could have helped them.
Storm is not much of a fighter, though has picked up a little skill in weaponry over the eons. He generally favors the long range striking of a burst rifle, even though his accuracy isn’t always the best. His skill in flight, something he indulged in greatly before the war made it unsafe to fly anywhere, has allowed him to become a strong scout, serving as aerial reconnaissance and a little extra firepower in a dogfight: he can maneuver out of incoming fire well, it’s mainly returning it that becomes an issue for him.
On Earth, Storm takes the form of a Panavia Tornado ECR. He chose to keep his color scheme from his Cybertronian days, but decided to build a second of Ember Shadow's (another OC of mine) cloaking field to prevent others, human or Decepticon, from spotting him and becoming suspicious while he's in flight.
That is a nice well thought out backstory.
Looking back over what I thought out before, I was kinda surprised at how long this was. And how short the other two that I've "completed" are in comparison. I just start writing and don't stop sometimes, I guess. Thanks!
The shine on the hand drawn one. 0.0
Good job there.
Bro, I am SO jealous of your room... I want it XD I'm a girl too BTW, and I seriously am obsessed. I have 2 $50 dollar transformers books though, and a G1 Sideswipe and G1 Optimus plushie, quite a few shirts, and a Knockout necklace
I'm pretty sure that the next season comes out in march, Optimus gets a redesign... that makes him white... blargh. I'm not too fond of it, but whatever. Unfortunatly season 2 will be the last season of the show. Not sure what comes after that opposed to 3 more live action movies... like we need more of those xP
But hey, there's the More than Meets the Eye Comics I have yet to read, I hear they're really good.
