Butt Comparisons. All Of That Extra Shockwave Mass Has To Go Somewhere~!

Anon again, I love all your versions of cybertronian sam and the little scenario snippets. Fr glad I found your page. :00 especially like the mini bot Sam with prowl and Sam being a jet ngl the chaos is perfecto. Pfft thanks for answering my previous chatter.

Do you have any cybertronian Sam fics or ones you recommend?

Mini bot Sam is one I’m excited to explore and create Sams dynamic with other bots! And what other Cybertrionians would think or react like to not only a mini bot /minicon but a human turned minibot, the mini bot lore has as many options and origins as big bots but even with whatever notion I go with it would rely a lot on The bigger bots knowledge and emotions around the ideas of mini bots and their “role” . I feel like Sam from human to mini bot so badly wants his role in everything and being a mini bot makes it easier for some bots to bridge that gap for him

Recommendations

Conceptions of self , my most recent reread and hands down one of the best at giving you more time with Sam and other bots!! Made me enjoy the idea of Sam and Prowl and where I could explore more

Newspark has some easy short one shots for a fun happy time, I found the second one in the series my favourite

Crossroads Converging in a paradox , Pax Cybertronia , and Antebellum are juggernaut of Sam and cybertron world building and pack a lot into their narratives that should take awhile with

And Tilt is one of the two I consider the most drastic with the concept of Sam transforming? Definitely read tags and warnings for all recommendations but Tilt specifically pushes Sam and Bumblebee especially. Really fascinating read and it’s like on the harsher edger reality and difficulty that would come with something like changing into a completely different life form and life expectancy. be warned it’s one of the heavier stories

Ao3’s bot!sam or cybertrionian tags are the easiest way to browse though few gems in groups on fanfiction net

No one: “Do you have any headcanons about the Gumm-Gumms?” Me: “Why yes, as a matter of fact I do.”

Sure, their primary reputation is as warriors/raiders/murderers, but they’ve also got some really top-notch smiths. Somebody’s got to craft and maintain the armour and weapons. 

(Yes, we see one troll get their armour conjured when mind-controlled, but we also later saw mind-controlled trolls being given helmets, so presumably the armour isn’t all conjured by the Decimaar Blade.) 

Non-Gumm-Gumm trolls are seen wielding Parlok spears, too, but Parlok was the name of the Gumm-Gumm smith who first designed that style of spear. It’s designed to be used against a sword (like when Jim used a fork to catch Strickler’s butterknife in Recipe For Disaster). The dual-pronged head also allows extra damage when stabbed into a target and twisted, without the risk of getting stuck that a serrated spearhead would present.

Gumm-Gumm craftsworkers are also amazing at imbuing artifacts with magical power. Looking at the properties of the Grit-Shaka and the Decimaar Blade, Gumm-Gumm sorcerers appear to have an aptitude for mind-influencing magic. 

Speaking of the Grit-Shaka, the saying that “the brave are often the first to die” was originally a Gumm-Gumm saying, “the fearless are often the first to die.” 

It was meant as strategic advice that the use of Grit-Shakas should be a last resort, not an opening tactic. It has since evolved to mean something more like “don’t try to be a hero,” and spread among non-Gumm-Gumms who heard it used as a taunt - the audience first hears the line from Angor Rot.

The Decimaar Blade is passed down from one warlord to the next, and enchanted so only a Gumm-Gumm can wield it. An acceptable means of claiming power in their society is to steal the Decimaar Blade and use it to kill the previous warlord. If the warlord is killed by a non-Gumm-Gumm, whichever troll can summon Decimaar next is accepted as the new warlord. 

Merlin based part of the enchantment woven into the sword of Daylight, which can only be wielded by the Trollhunter, on this established structure of spellwork. Trolls as a whole were pretty freaked out by the first Trollhunter because the conjurable sword and armour were so Gumm-Gumm-esque.

Decimaar is an archaic trollish word meaning ‘control’ or ‘authority’, referring to how the sword belongs to the tribe leader and to its mind-control powers. In English it would translate as something like ‘the sword of power’. Its similarity to ‘decimate’ (killing every tenth individual) is a false cognate. Due to association with the Gumm-Gumms, trolls don’t tend to say decimaar in conversation anymore, but the word still comes up in formal and/or legal contexts.

According to the spinoff novel of the same name, The Book Of Ga-Huel was written by the Dishonorable Bodus, not a scholar named Ga-Huel as I had previously assumed. Bodus says it was commissioned by Orlagk, the warlord before Gunmar, so Ga-Huel wasn’t the commissioner’s name either. If one chooses to accept this as canon, it raises the question of where the book’s title came from. 

I posit that ‘Ga-Huel’ was actually the tribe’s original name, and ‘Gumm-Gumm’ began as something their enemies called them, which they adopted out of pride at how intimidating ‘bringer of horrible, slow, painful, and thoroughly-calculated death’ sounds.

Reblog if you're asexual and tired

I think I’ve put this off long enough, it’s time for the Jim’s Daylight armour design post. This has been pieced together with what can be found online with acknowledgement that there is additional art in the official artbook and very likely online as well which has yet to be uncovered. It’s already happened with Bular/Gunmar and the twitter version of this also had something within 24 hours so it’s a given at this point.

Anyway onwards!

Description: An animatic on the origin of Megatron in the Aligned Continuity.

Hi everyone!

I finally got this done! And just in time for Transformers One to come out (PLEASE GO SEE IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY).

A few months ago I was hell-bent on learning how to storyboard and this was my first attempt! Of course I used my obsession as practice lol. I hope to post more animatic attempts in future, but with the new job things have been slow.....er....slower (being another cog in the machine is time consuming, what can I say?)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!
