Meet my new OC Jam! He's a transmetal beastformer based on a glass frog + the clear tech that was really popular in the 90s/2000s.

Transart Pink Spider, *not* transmetal/ Beast Wars Arcee.

Yes, I got myself another Arcee toy!

Whether this figure appeals to you really depends on how you feel about the transmetal Blackarachnia design which is very much an acquired taste.

It's not a bad toy by any means but if you are planning on picking it up it has a lot of annoying minor issues including:

- missing articulation you'd normally expect for a "masterpiece" style figure such as a wrist swivel and finger articulation.

- extremely tight shoulder joints that squeak and feel like they might snap when you try to bring her arms forward (this is a common issue with the mould apparently and isn't just something wrong with my copy)

-she has die cast feet but can't really stand on her own due to the narrow high heals, (in the photograph where she is free standing she fell over a few seconds after I snapped the image!) especially if you have her spider kibble attached. Fortunately she does come with a decent stand.

- Her removable bra is really annoying. I know it's a reference to the unfortunate QC problem the original toy had, but honestly the whole thing comes across as a bit "cringe" to me (though at least they didn't paint on robo nipples or something!). It's only held on by an extremely weak magnet and constantly falls off when trying to pose her. I ended up sticking the bra on with a glob of blu-tak, as you don't actually have to remove it to transform her unlike what the instructions say.

I also kinda wish she'd come with alternative blue spider legs as I think she'd look better with blue rather than black spider legs... I'm half considering custom painting mine...

Blackarachnia

Yet another TFcon piece

[darksilvania]

A couple of years ago I went through a "transformers phase", and by that I mean I made a couple of transformers fanarts which is not something I usually do.

I have always been a big fan of Beast Wars and when I was looking at some beast wars era toys I found curious there were so many bat maximals, so I wanted to try and make my version of them.

First is the original Optimus Primal toy that turned into a bat, the original color scheme was gray instead of black, but I wanted him to have the same palette as the gorilla primal, also I gave him some batman features because I like batman

Then its Nightscream from Beast Machines, when I was reading about the character I found that while in the original series he was portrayed as a bit of an emo character, in the japanese dub he was turned into a very flamboyant gay character, and when the character was adapted into the legends comic he was portraid as a crossdresser that many characters mistook as female despite being male, so I went ahead and made it a "femboi" because I felt it suited his design

Next is Sonar, a transmetal 2 bat that never showed in the cartoon but did in the comics, in her toy bio she was never given any pronouns, so when she was added to the comics they made her female to have more fembots, so I made her a cute fembot, because why not

The last one is Noctorro, a Bat/Bull fuzor that also never showed in the cartoon, but did in the comics, when I read the characters bio it said noctorro is a fighter that uses no guns, thats why his toy didnt include any, and while his whole body had the same dark blue and golden color scheme, his face was particulary red, so I decided to make it look like a it is wearing a luchador mask, this paired well with its "no guns" fighting style. I also made his beast mode because the original toy was a bit of underwhelming and I knew it could look better

Also I know there is a new Maximal bat that in the comics called Nyx, maybe I will draw her later

Dear Vector Prime, what would have happened if Dinobot 2 had survived and joined the Maximals on their journey back to Cybertron?

Dear Sempiternal Saurian,

In one reality, Optimus Primal was able to successfully rescue the cloned Dinobot from the Nemesis and carry him to safety, moments before Rhinox’s shuttle obliterated the ship’s bridge and foiled Megatron’s final gambit to win the Beast Wars. Initially, the jubilant Maximals believed that their old friend had somehow returned to life, but were dismayed to find that this was not quite the case. While this “new” Dinobot had indeed inherited some jumbled memories of his genetic template, he also bore the scars—both literal and metaphorical—of serving Megatron throughout the last third of the Beast Wars. Worse yet, he still carried the spark of Protoform X, itself a failed attempt to mimic Starscream’s immortal spark. Suffice it to say, the second Dinobot was a traumatized, empty shell—a living weapon bereft of purpose, forced to work alongside the same ‘bots he’d been conditioned to hate, and perpetually at war with himself as competing instincts vied for dominance. The Maximals quickly learned to give their nominal ally a wide berth, and none of them were particularly enthused when he declared that he would join them on their voyage home, in the hopes that he could find some kind of new purpose on Cybertron.

As in many of the timelines you know, Megatron slipped his bonds during their voyage back to Cybertron, conquered the planet with an army of mass-produced Vehicon warriors, and infected his captors with a paralyzing transformation virus. Thanks to his Transmetal 2 body, Dinobot resisted the virus, but was forcibly devolved back into a simulacrum of his genetic predecessor. Soon enough, Optimus Primal found him, Rattrap, Blackarachnia, and Cheetor; guided by Primal’s supernatural visions, the five ‘bots fled into the depths of Cybertron, and eventually encountered the mysterious Oracle. Dinobot emerged from the computer with a new, technorganic beast mode: a crimson Guanlong with steel-grey plumage, his teeth and claws could easily penetrate Vehicon armor. As he had never truly “known” Cybertron before the Vehicon apocalypse, Dinobot fought not for any kind of higher ideal, or to rescue the populace of Cybertron, but merely to survive; when the Maximals learned that Megatron had engineered the entire disaster and taken control of the planet, Dinobot decided that he hated Megatron more than he hated the Maximals and grudgingly stuck by their fledgling resistance movement, defiantly wearing a modified Predacon insignia for no other reason than to incense his creator.

Already torn between so many states of being, it should come as no surprise that Dinobot struggled to master the art of transformation. Because of this setback, however, the Rattrap of this timeline—who’d already taken a very real dislike to the “cut-rate knockoff”, and could now look down his nose at someone even worse at transformation than himself—never faced the same kind of crisis of conscience that many of his alternate selves struggled with, and learned how to transform by himself. When Dinobot found that “emotional still point” and unlocked his robot mode, he was a mighty warrior indeed: not only could his optics project a wall of telekinetic force to cover his allies and send enemies flying, but his mighty two-handed claymore could also open tectonic fissures and create localized earthquakes. Tormented by his own demons as he was, however, those moments of emotional lucidity were fleeting at best, and Dinobot spent most of his time trapped in beast mode: in his worst moments, the other Maximals had to physically restrain him as his old Transmetal instincts overwhelmed him and he reverted to a feral state of being. Even while trapped in beast mode, Dinobot proved an ambitious and cunning warrior, and he and Cheetor repeatedly butted heads over the position of leader while the Maximal leader was indisposed.

In this timeline, Dinobot’s warrior instincts and animalistic thirst for vengeance helped push Optimus Primal, already convinced that his mission was to revert Cybertron to its primordial organic state, further and further down the road of extremism. Thanks to his influence, by the time that Tankor’s true consciousness reasserted itself and made a play for power, Optimus had already discovered the Plasma Energy Chamber and used it to send an ultimatum to Megatron: leave the planet now, or perish. This time around, it was Megatron who had to go on the defensive; despite these minor changes in the timeline, the end result was largely the same—the clash between the Key to Vector Sigma and the Plasma Energy Chamber resulted in near-deaths for both Optimus Primal and Megatron. The other Maximals realized that their comrade had played a major role in Primal’s death and turned their back on him. While the other Maximals eventually revived Optimus and dealt with the strange Savage/Noble creature, a grief-stricken Dinobot, convinced that he had permanently killed the first being who had ever treated him kindly, buried his higher functions beneath his animal instincts and turned feral, indiscriminately roaming the empty tunnels and savaging any wayward Vehicons who deviated from their patrol routes.

Finally, after many cycles of exile, Optimus Primal—who had dedicated all his time to meditating in front of the Oracle and casting his own sensory net across the planet in the hopes of finding their most troubled comrade—finally reached Dinobot’s sleeping mind and pierced his layers of mental armor. In this shared dreamscape, a jumbled nightmare world of Transmetallized bones and a burning valley—Dinobot admitted that he had no idea who he was. Was he a warrior or a monster? A beast or a robot? A Maximal, a Predacon, a Decepticon? Would he forever toil in the shadow of his progenitor, desperately trying to live a life he’d never known? Or was he nothing but a freak of nature who concealed his monstrous nature beneath the veneer of an honorable warrior?

Inspired by his own recent voyage through the Matrix, Optimus offered his own opinion: just as the Matrix had chosen them to bring nature and technology together into a single, harmonious whole, so too was Dinobot more than the sum total of his origins. He was not the original Dinobot, nor was he Rampage; he was himself, a loyal ally and just as much a part of the Oracle’s grand plan as the rest of the Maximals.

It would take time before the Predacon warrior learned to channel Primal’s sense of balance into his own fighting style as he rigorously trained in private—aided by Primal’s occasional remote coaching sessions—and longer still before he worked up the courage to rejoin the Maximals. When he did, however, he returned not as Dinobot, but as his own ‘bot—he was now Preditron, a courageous and honorable warrior who combined his bestial instincts with the experience of two lifetimes lived. Preditron fought bravely alongside the Maximals in subsequent campaigns, stood by as they welcomed Botanica and Silverbolt into the fold, and made a courageous stand in the final battle against the Vehicon hordes.

Many centuries in the future, long after the Great Transformation that saw Cybertron reformatted into a technorganic utopia, young technorganic Cybertronians still whisper tales of the reclusive Last Predacon, whose immortal spark burns forever. When all else fails, it is said that the Last Predacon will emerge from his secluded jungle home to take young Cybertronians who struggle to master transformation under his wing, and teach them to find the balance within, as he once did himself.

Okay so my brain did a thing.

Beast Wars Transmetal Tarantulas (The design that his Idw appearance was clearly based on) was, like all the other Transmetals a (Half-arsed) Triple-Changer with a motorbike mode.

Now you could easily make a better version of that bike mode, especially if you lean into something like Legends Erial's more a Cybertronian aesthetic.....But hear me out, I look at things like Airachnid's helicopter mode and Shatter's back kibble distribution and ideas for a really fun design start coming.... Spider legs doubling as rotor blades and exhausts for the bike mode separated by abdomen parts and arranged like a mix of Tarantulas and Shatter.

Seriously, give me a Tarantulas with four modes: Bot, Spider, Bike and Helicopter.

Greetings fellow Beastie Fan! Hope you're doing well! <3💕💕💕

Also, I'm not sure if you're into Pokémon but Primal's transmetal forms is like a Pokémon evolution XD

Thanks for popping in, I’m always happy to meet a fellow Beastie fan too!

I don’t follow Pokémon that closely but now that you mention it, Primal’s three forms do follow like a Pokémon evolution. You can see that same concept with Megatron and Cheetor too, since they also got 3 forms in the show.

TF OC: Artifice Emperor

They were a Decepticon throughout the war, but they were stationed on an asteroid outpost that was quickly forgotten. They spent the duration of the war engaged in increasingly elaborate role-play battles with a team of Autobots stationed on the same asteroid. As a part of the LARP, they adopted “Artifice Emperor” as an edgy persona and never went back. Their bouts with the bots grew into deep friendship that outlasted the war. After “The Call” brought the scattered Cybertronians back to a newly reborn Cybertron, Artifice and friends wound up being invited to join the university being built in the ruins of the crashed Kimia satellite. Their dedication to “living an elaborate lie” earned their group the position of leading the Tradition of the Liege Maximo track at the university.

While at New Kimia University, Artifice was introduced to the possibility of becoming a Transmetal through a phenomenon being studied in the Tradition of Onyx track. Artifice opted into a partial transmetalification as the new look for their arm would add to their story arc.
