Caution! Thin ice...
ES SoundStar are very bird coded to me...and I think alot about that. 🙂↕️🤧 (ignore how crows and owls have perm rivalry) (my friend also said it makes sense bc why else does Starscream keep building nests (in my au) -> Soundwave get to work!)
The way all my SoundStars are different yet similar in all universes bothers me sometimes but I also love talking/being asked about them at the same time
Meanwhile: Tfp SoundStar is rather avion-bug v. lizard coded in comparison
TFP Starscream really really looks like a secretary bird with his crest/spikiness + the way he kicks his legs in the show lmao
Though: g1 SoundStar is super cat on all fronts in terms of personality and dynamics, IDW SoundStar is probably a good mix of all previous attributes with some minute differences. But again these are all based off of my previous writings and personal hcs and subject to change as I go or write lol
Bonus fact: my IDW Soundwave speaks German; he really only has ever used it to insult Starscream though lol at least post-war, it makes for some fun scenarios (like calling mr supreme leader a brat or a little-)
I think one day I would love to throw all my current SoundStars into a game show and let them duke it out to prove who knows their SO better, and the slow realization of how different everyone is and why would be the main kicker...
Everyone is baffled at ES Starscream for example over certain dynamics and methods of getting together, TFP is made fun of meanwhile for his general incompetence and IDW for well his committal of tax fraud of all things...😭 like really!? SG Starscream is too honest when he hears all the parallel counterparts talk and it gets him in trouble; they're all melodramatic, but he's the only one willing to admit it to the show hosts (IDW Thundercracker and ES Thundercracker) TF one wants someone to take him out of here rn, RN!!
I kinda have an idea how old all of them would be as well in terms of written development or where they swim in my brain like little sardines stuck in a tank
ES and TFP are the eldest (debatable who older than who), but I think TF one is right after and then it's whoever after that (prob IDW -> SG -> g1)
At least all the Soundwaves' find it easier to get along (ignore they're getting ideas on how to handle their respective Starscreams' as well, minus SG Soundwave, he's still processing half of what these guys have done or where things have been done and how LOL) (like wdym that guy over there can be maneuvered like that!...?)
Also: Soundwave is super/overall very corviknight coded according to @sparkybot (I see it tbh)
crazy exes
i’ve been feeling out of it lately, so i drew some soundwaves to cheer myself up :))
I've been working on Megatron and Optimus's designs in the AU!
Still not done but I have to go on a trip starting tomorrow and I want to draw a lil doodle before I go!
[ Reminder that if you have asks @ene-ask is my new ask box now to keep things organized ]
every time my beta reader reads sth of mine like even a ss of something, they call me evil or tell me to add more angst tags (there are enough I think...) unrelated but they read chapter 5 yesterday and annotated it in front of me LOL
Batwave concept 🤔… except also bugwave…. I wanna implement both of those thangs (because of how the poll went). I couldn’t figure how his face would look so I’ve come to the conclusion that his visor(?) Is his face 😌 (tho there’s a chance I might change it to a human head,, not sure yet) it’s just that he mimics a human by tucking his head in a certain way that’s convincing enough, trust.. as for the bug stuff? It’s more subtle I’d say, sure the exoskeleton is a clearer thing (yes that technically means he’s shirtless in this one, boy cover up!!!) but there are biological things happening that I don’t feel like explaining yet 😌 just know I spent a whole night researching certain bugs. For his bat side I mostly referenced fruit/flying fox bats cuz their slim faces worked best with him
I felt like there wasn’t enough obviously-bug stuff going on so I kinda wanted to give him two pairs of wings like bugs do, but I’m not sure yet if they Are bat wings or if they’re like bug wings that mimic bat wings 🤔 which would be preferred??? Usually though, in this au thing he’d have them covered/hidden, kinda like how mantids or beetles would have their wings flush to the body and typically seem hidden. Tho a part of me still wants to give him insect wings cuz it matches his usual streamlined body yknow?
I’ve been drawing my Human Soundwave always covering his neck because I always imagined it to be how he’d hide his non-humanness 🤔 not sure how tall he is yet tho. Likely very tall tbh, maybe his visor thing is the equivalent of a bug face (exoskeleton) ,,, yet is shaped like a bat’s head. If that makes sense
Bonus the line art just cuz I like how it is… since bugs are like the top dogs in mimicry I like to imagine Soundwave going in on that 😌 similar to how many people like to think Prime Soundwave looks like a sparkeater! Soundwave here? Mostly not human. But pretends to be and is good at it
Sailor Costume
Based off of that one twt about fav ship dynamics. I thought of them
