drawing transformers is a gateway to drawing more transformers i suppose


Six people in focus are standing in front of a smoky battlefield and a massive column of other, detail-less soldiers. There are spaceships in the sky and several flags. The central figures are all armed humans wearing armor that makes them look like Transformers. In the background, behind the central figures (Megatron and Optimus) it is possible to see Jazz, Starscream, Ratchet and Prowl. In the front is Optimus Prime, wearing a breastplate with intricate detailing to denote the Matrix on it, fairly normal blue armor and gloves and a cape, and holding an axe with a glowing blue edge. Megatron is right beside him, and he is wearing a metal pauldron on one shoulder, a very fluffy cape, a belt, a skirt of some kind and absolutely nothing else. His chest is very shiny and covered in scars. He has a two-handed sword held in one hand and slicked with dark green blood. Jazz and Starscream are talking animatedly, Ratchet and Prowl are looking forwards tiredly, Optimus is holding a hand in front of Megatron and Megatron is snarling at someone in front of the camera. It is clear that the Decepticons and Autobots have teamed up to fight someone, but we don' t see who.

This comes from a new au that I invented yesterday, where the transformers are instead humanoid aliens (with tentacles, cuz why not) who are beginning the long trek to becoming techno-organics similar to the Quintessons. Pilots interface with their ships to pilot them, armor and armor-wearer are almost one entity, and if i were better at designing cool mechas there would be mechas in the background because they absolutely do fight in mechas sometimes probably.

Megatron and Optimus were in fact embroiled in their own war- Optimus as the hesitant leader of the Autobots, a reformist moderate knight of the original Primacy who got picked by the Matrix mostly by accident, and Megatron as a (as usual) gladiator-turned-public-speaker-turned-proponent-of-killing-the-entire-upper-class-and-starting-fresh, and they would've probably gotten along if Megatron weren't absolutely about killing all Optimus's friends and also him. They made a ruin of their planet and pretty much fucked everything up and then, in a shocking twist that absolutely no one saw coming, the Quintessons went "hey cool! what if we took these people over and made them power our sharkticons or something" and started picking off and mind-controlling random autobots and decepticons at random. This alarmed both Megatron and Optimus to no end, so they reluctantly formed the Grand Cybertronian Unified Army to do battle with them. will they win? Idk, probably not, they're really outgunned here, but it's nice to think they will :)

i may or may not write it, it'll probably hang out on the backburner until i reread eugenesis tbh. you're welcome to crib anything you like from it. free plunny and all that lol
