Soooo, yeah this is my first ever thing on Here and i Just felt like yapping a bit about my own Transformers AU species.
Today i think i will tell y'all about the Stormseekers.
The Stormseekers are a Subspecies to the Regular Seekers we know, exeot that they are built to with stand strong Storms and even directly Hits of lighting, which resulted in heavier frames and usually thicker armour plates that isolate them quite well. Their wings are formed differently as well, describing more of a half moon shape that ends somewhere beneath their knees.
The Stormseekers are native to Thetrahex and arent that Rich in Population anymore due to the war and them Not really wanting to participate in it and usually fleeing.
Their anatomy is, as stated before, different to the one of a Regular Seeker. They tend to be quite tall and can be Born with different Mutations. The Femmes can be Born with a second pair of wings and would be called Splitwings. This Mutation is a rather rare one and does usually Not Show up on Mechs, but it has happend once or twice before. The drawback of this Mutation is that die to the second wings they get more stabalized during flights, yet it needs more energy to keep them in the air since their wings are quite Heavy to prevent them from being torn off by the Winds. This can cause a weaker Spark then average, which cant be cured.
The Mechs on the other Hand, can have a second pair of eyes in the reverse colour of their Regular ones. If closed, the second pair is Not visible for others which is usually kept this way since the eyes are very sensitive to sunlight and can easily get worse with too much direct contact. They See better in the dark, being able to grant some Kind of lesser effective nightvision.
Two Mutations known to occur on bith genders equally, is the different Form of the legs and having four fingers on each Hand instead of five. The four fingers on each Hand will be longer and sharper, sharper then the usual "claws" This Seekers have. The legs are more animal like, rather reminding of a Predacon then to a Seeker. It is unknown why this Mutation formed in the first place, but like all the others, they can be inherited. They may skip a Generation or two, but the Chance of inheritance is quite High.
Now moving on to their plating. The Stormseekers are usually Held in the colours of the sky on different Times of the Day and weathers, ranging from the reddish Orange of a sunset to the White, purplish and Green auroras seen on the poles of Cybertron. The most common colour for them are different shades of gray and/or blue. Their bodies are Covered in Black markings, which Start to occur when the Cybertronian reaches the adult age. First the unique markings beneath their eyes will form, which no other Stormseeker will have. The ones of siblings Look alike, but Not even the ones of Twins are the same.
This Seeker Subspecies has quite some differences from the genders. The Femmes' wings are more bent then the ones of the males and thinner, ending in sharpee edges then the rather softer and rounder wings of the Mechs. The Mechs on the other Hand tend to have more spikier helms, leaving them with what almost seem to be Horns. Both genders have a quite bendy structure at the side of their head, ressembling what almost seem to be feathers. Some have them rounded, others have them as sharp as a sword.
The wings of this Specie are quite sensitive, as all Seeker wings are. The outher edges are less sensitive for them tho, since those are regularly bumped against too narrow doors. The wings usually have Stripes on them in different forms per Individual, but all are sensitive. Exspecially the Part where they connect to the back and the Tips of their wings. The Rest is sensitive as well and can cause a Seeker to shudder, but it's usually quite calming to receive a little Massage there.
Their culture is quite similiar to the ones of the Regular Seekers, being quite Skybound their culture focuses more on the skies then the one of the grounders. They are also more Fond of air races then the Vosnian Seekers, having atleast one large race per year that is opend by a flight show, showing how well they can move through the air.
They can also have built in weapons, a variety of Blasters that hide in their hands, two Canons on their back which they can move forewards to shoot (Even tho this is mostly added as a defense, a few have them naturally) and also some Kind of a bent double blade which can Transform from their wrists and can be added to the already natural weapons.
... And yes, thay have heels.
So, this is probably everything i have for them right now, it's a large amount i know. But i like to think about my species and try to make everything reasonable.. Atleast a bit.
To whoever reads all this, please go to sleep this is probably some tired person at 2am that says "Just one more post..." XD
Anyways, Thanks for listening!
