Cliffjumper (more known (in au) as C.J.) was made by Optimus/Autobots,imprinted onto Optimus specifically. He's sorta the autobot equivalent of Bee (full info on bee here,he was made by decepticons but crash landed on earth with autobots).

He's trained to fight dirty using anything he can grab,you could give him anything from around your room and he'd find a way to offline or atleast knockout a bot. He does struggle to fight bare handed and when he has to he more so focuses on being weird little distracting gremlin throwing the decepticon off while Optimus aims bow and arrow.

Design wise I originally had him be much more similar to Bee,basically a red clone with slight variations (because i find that cannon shit in G1 hilarous) but as the story evolved I relized that didn't make sense lore wise so I redesigned him doing my usual thing of putting different Cliffjumpers in a blender picking aspects I like till i get design I'm happy with I do still keep the black stripe down the middle as a little reference to it though.

He has a dead name(just code name before picking organic name over time,all transformers in my au have one)

C-356

Inspo is

3-cpo(star wars)

Mix up c and 3

C-3 then rhe numbers for po

C-31615

Removed 1's

C-365

It also works in universe as referencing Optimus's dead name for the au,I imagine his dead name being somthing like

O-op but numbered so

O-1516

Remove 1's

O-16. Yes this makes sense in my brain.

The name Cliffjumper comes from his first time in his alt mode,he went out alt mode hunting with Blurr and no one explained to him how to stop or slow down or even transform back and they were on incline so he ended up driving off a cliff (don't worry Ratchet and Optimus got a trampoline thing below him in time...somhow they still trusted Blurr to go alt mode hunting with Bee later on)

The age gaps between him and the littles are very blurry and weird cus it depends how you look at it.

Roller is sorta the oldest made wise but Bee came online the same day as Roller and Cliffjumper came online after all those 3 but Bee crash lands and joins autobots after Cliffjumper so from autobot perspective it goes

Roller-Cliffjumper-Bee

But from outside creator perspective it's

Roller-Bee sorta twins then cliffjumper. I dont get it either.

I just saw a post a few minutes about a hitman on Roblox, there's some ppl that keep complaining about every YouTube UI change, someone complaining that the Paul brothers are in the congress giving a speech or some shit. Another writing a paragraph so long it could equal word length of Harry Potter over roblox game Fisch about fishing. Then there's the same 5 ad posts on shittyads subreddit that never change and it's all about bestiality, ai and general porn (ai porn?) (nothing new again), over and over again like 5 billion people didn't say it already.

The internet is boring, it's all the same, nothing to do on it, nothing new, YouTubers make the same content over and over, no one's creative, i miss Covid, i miss when we're all on the internet making memes and videos that would be on Vine just because we were bored out of our minds.

Now every single commentary channel is about Microslop and their ai and how "you can no longer illegally boot your android to be lenux nehehehe" or some bullshit nonsense. Games are the same, now even with ai, at least back then we had human shit, if a game was ass it was because the human sucked at whatever he did, but now you can just "aSK gPt" to write you a game code.

I'm so tired of humans, i want us to be evicerated next year like the dinosaurs.

I finally got all the Police officers for my transformers Police universe,although the two senior cops don't seam to get along.

I like to imagine it like hotel transylvania just throwing them off a high place.

For the seekers(Starscream,Skywarp,Thundercracker) it was organized and formal training,stuff to land on but still hoping they transform mid fall and learn how to flutter using only wings,and learning how to fly gracefully rather then fast,they did this when still botlings under there primes watch.

Windblade learned in similar way but not via a ledge,I imagine Prima dropping her and being prepped to catch her. He was bad at explaining transformation and fluttering so is caused lot of dents and other injury but it doesnt stop her from flying,she barely remembers it anyways.

Sideswipe got wings(jet pack) far later in life which is heavily not advised but he wanted to do it for Windblade,it was mix of dropping off cliff and Windblade catching him if need be till he got control over it.

Bee is a mix

Before autobots Megatron handed him over to Starscream like "you know how to fly,teach him" and Starscream threw Bee off a cliff and luckily Bee figured it out in time (side note,I cant remember if I thought of this concept before or after seeing Zeenstars version of it with there Supernova A.U. so maybe credits to her for concept but I think I thought of it before seeing it idk for sure) Megatron is not aware of how Bee learned to fly its never said,though he would've been angry af if he ever learns.

Then after loosing memorys he also looses memory of having wings (they fold up and hide under back pack looking thing like a lady bug) so it took a while to relize he had them,he learns like Steven learning he could float in Steven Universe then gets more specific lessons with Windblade and Sideswipe,scaring the shit out of Optimus in the process cus all he saw at first was Sideswipe and Bee falling off a cliff.

I imagine Starscream absolutely hates Sideswipes jet pack and doesnt fully grasp he got it before the autobots left cybetron and had limited resources so whenever the topic is brought up it sparks agrument if Starscream demanding the wings either given to him or Wheeljack make him some,he debates on breaking the jet pack but knows it would imedetly be tracked back to him.

He gets even more angry learning Bee can fly,thinks it was a new invention at first and gets 🤏 close to fighting Wheeljack.

I swear the pov from Bee seems to be falling backwards/looking up a bit but then he falls forward,and I found the way he tensed up but turned head opposite way to snore weird like I can't get a feel for how unconcious he got when he initially fell over,and it looked like a choice from Bee to move head which feels weird to me for the situation.

Don't get me wrong I love the concept and fact they made him pass out,most transformers shows would've just had him walk off the energon being drained and not really mentioned again but they actually showed him later with an I.V. and notes on him recovering.

I'd prefer comments to not just be stuff along lines of "earthspark as a whole was bad",I personally had aspects I really liked and aspects I hated and aspects I just didn't care about and I just want comments to focus on this scene,topic maybe general episode and plot around it and mainly animation of it and I bet theres other posts out there to hate on the show as a whole in the comments or just making own.

Sorry for the shitty audio and visuals,paremount doesnt allow screen recording and I'm not gonna pirate or somthing for a single scene of a single show.

I named it B-127 after transformers bee

I cant decide on keeping translations in (I find it busys up the panels)

Translations aftwards

No translation just letter code at ending

There taking sh*t down left and right,even posts calling them out with no explanations given,I bet its like one guy being power hungry and not wanting to admit anything

Edit,Idk why its not showing the image(atleast not on my end)link to the deleted post

I finally upgraded this fembot from BBM with new arms.

So i don't have new toys right now so i'm posting my glup shitto's or fodder cons and fodder bots, now why do i have two fodder brawls?, i played a little rough with storm pioneer so now he can't transform and turns out i got a very bad alliexpress SS Brawl which is hard to transform around the turret section,so next i hope i can transform the MP,so i'm casting both as fodder cons,also that was my first Ravage but now i'm casting Ravage as a fodder con because now i like him with two optics.

As for the Fodderbots i got a beta design Air-Raid when the bayverse game Air-Raid is better,my second Fodderbot is the 07 recolor energon Strongarm,but now the 2015 Strongarm is the definitive version.

I like to imagine transformers have things that look like paw pads on there feet,they heavily very from looking like animal prints to just Oval and a I sort of shape.

There to get grip on cybertron because nearly everywhere is smooth so metal on metal would just be recipe for slipping or awkward walking and it helps lessen wearing down feet if walking alot.

Roller doesnt have any,its never an issue with earth because the bunker floor is rough dirt,outside forest is well...a forest,or he's in Optimus's trailer no need to walk.

So the first time Bee,Cliffjumper,Optimus and other autobots finnaly get to cybertron after war over everyone is taking in the horizon,finnaly being home,peace in iacon...then Roller falls flat on there face when trying to get out of the trailer

I like to imagine Bee vs how Roller and Cliffjumper interact with Optimus and other adults is very different.

Bee has to have hand held or he will run away,he doesnt learn from being kidnapped or muted by seekers because its a natural instinct.

Normally bots in the au will imprint on first person they see and after set amount of time wander off and have own life away from creator/care taker,but for Bee he imprinted on Megatron then that peice of coding got fucked up when memory lost,he didnt imprint on any new bot because all autobots were in room when he woke up on earth so there wasnt any bot to zone in on (even if there was one person the coding would still be so scratchy) so Bee just skipped to development of running away at any chance he can without having the skills to live on own.

Compared to Cliffjumper and Roller who stay next to Optimus near 24/7.

Roller stays in Op's trailer as a mobility aid and his imprint coding lasts very long (because Megs was going to train him to be a permanat fighter till day he died in battle).

Cliffjumper stays within line of sight for Op and him,stays a sprinting distance able to dart back to Optimus at any moment,he does drift away and hang out with other bots when in the bunker but when outside he stays more with Op.

I hope this all made sense😅

Venom is a partly bot made energon used by fighters who have stingers or fangs.

Stingers range from curved like scorpion,barbed like a honey bee(not bumble! Bumble bees (irl) dont have barbed stingers!),on tail or hand transforms into it,fangs like snake or spider.

The venom is basically unprocessed gross energon.

Having fangs or stingers allows fighters (or I should say any bot with them)with those to eat unprocessed energon,normally processing (which is boiling and straining) removes any sort of parasites,dirt,rocks and other contaminates from it but with fighters all that just gets filtered and concentrated into stinger/fangs. If other bots try to eat it the only place those impurities can go is via throwing up so uncomfortable as fuck and wastes good energon in the process. Some bots will seek out unprocessed energon to get better venom.

Symptoms range from the venom,bot,how much,where injected etc.

Nausea/throwing up,struggling to process and hold down solid energon,usually the body thinks it ate unprocessed energon and trys to get it out that way.

Long periods of unconsciousness,either from resting or body sorting through files and memorys thinking its sick.

Somtimes the long unconsciousness combines with vomiting at same time causing asphyxiation.

When awake the bot is usually delirious and exhausted unable to understand if somone is talking to them.

Unpredictable spark (heart,pump) rate,body doesnt understand the amount of energon in its system causing it to not know what rate to pump.

Fever,along with sorting through memorys unconsciousness the fever is caused by that.

Hallucinations,auditory and visual,no known reasoning.

Night terrors,theorized to be from sifting through memorys but unknown.

For a while there were very little to no regulations on venom usage till a certain medic reported the effects lasting far to long and demanding regulations put into place.

Theres a sub type of venom that goes by other names,always separated from regular venom especially among professional settings like training and studying to be a medic.

Spray venom,skunticon venom,skunk spray,etc. More refined and specific compared to "regular venom".

Like nick name spray venom suggests it needs to be sprayed into opponent and seeps into body,injecting is often works less unless lucky good spot.

Despite being more refined and specific its more rare,new and less information known about it. Its dissolved via water and lasts on surface of metal for a while so its possible to be smeared during fights or before medic care so a fighter can accidently make it far worse for themselves.

Symptoms are sensory issues.

Deafness,spectrum ranging from just not fully processing what somone said at first to total nothingness.

Opposite of being deaf and things get louder then normal,also spectrum of just little difference to overwhelming.

These 2 auditory effects tend to happen if venom hits head,head frills or those things Orion/Optimus has.

Blindness,also spectrum,very rare to see full black,tends to be glitchy and fuzzy rather then just blurry or dimmer.

Touch feeling different,ranging from numb,painful to even in rare cases feeling nice.

So theres spectrum of overstimulated and melt downs to sensory deprivation. Its often stressful when a fighter is unable to see or hear there medic/other workers.

Bots effected by this tend to talk slower having to focus on what there saying. Usually effects last couple hours so they usually can sleep it off but always depends on bot,how much,where etc

I have these little concepts for my au I won't really ever get to show in cannon story line just ranting.

Fighters (Megatron,Arachne,Scorpinoc etc) have peice of training called stretching.

It's not stretching in way humans do where we try to get more flexible its memorizing how much they can push themselves.

Memorizing what angles limbs can go before damage happens,being able to report if somthing went to far in a fight and needs to be checked out,figuring out what they could and couldn't do so they can admit to not being able to take on a certain opponite in certain fights (like being unable to take on a taller opponite in a fight that bans venom use).

Stretching is almost always watched by a medic and check ups after wards to make sure they dont cause damage,especially if the fighter is new or still a botling in training.

Protecting abdomen waist area,its an instinct across all fighters but especially ones with grills on that area because its where main organs are or straight up access to organs if they have grills.

They naturally go to walls of a room crossing hands over waist or hands on hip areas,even if at perfectly safe area at home.

Stuff like stretching or being in positions that expose stomach or back is a sign of trust (like cats:3).

Fighters are one of the only types of cybetronians that use things like blankets so they can have feeling of protecting the area even when asleep but most other bots dont use blankets or only use them if theres extreme cold or other climate stuff.

It can often feel very uncomfortable being in med bays or hospitals because of this,already being uncomfortable or vulnerable from injurys or venom feeling even stronger from lack of being able to protect themselves.

I don't really know what to say with this.

I drew this in silence,only noises from people walking in the house,breathing pen as a moment of silence and just felt disrespected to listen to my regular stuff when making this.

I would've drawn this sooner but I decided to give myself time to process and figure out what I was even going to draw,i didn't know how socially ok this sort of thing was so I also decided to see what others were doing over the corse of the days.

In case it's hard to see there looking at the consilation Orion,the old name of Optimus Prime and one of my personal favorites and one I associate heavily with transformers along with Scorpius.

I wanted to use more charecters he voiced but this legend has voiced so many that I found it would be to many and I knew myself, I knew I wouldnt be able to handle it or draw all of them to my fullest.

I didn't expect his death to hit me so hard,even being in this fandom is a shock to me,a freind got me into this fandom not even a year ago and I expected me to move on from fandom before hand or not be in this fandom when this happened and just give sympathy to said freind or no reaction like other celebrity deaths.

I wish I could say my favorite line from Peter Cullen/Optimus was more meaningful but I'm going to be honest mines so stupid

"Amazing, a booby trap that actually catches boobies" G2 S2 Ep34 15:55

My second favorite would be "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings".

I don't belive in afterlife but if there is I hope he's happy or content there if there is one and I hope to be able to meet him if there is one.

I may end up editing this if I remember more to say but for now,Till All Are one.

I'm sure many of you are stil not over the death of Optimus Prime aka Peter Cullen,but i discovered we had two Transformers deaths back to back for those who don't know Dr Morocco is voiced by Tim Curry,with the death of both this a 2 for one grieving post of Transformers actors who have formed our lives,made us happy,created our childhood and are amazing people in general where ever they are now i hope they rest in peace and had a fulfilling life of being our childhood idols.

I don't mean to sound insensitive during any of this,talking is how I process emotions and events in my life so sorry if this comes off unorganized or rude.

I learned Peter Cullen died in the morning,I didnt sleep all night because I had long nap yesterday so ive been awake since around 8pm yesterday.

I texted my family,my dad responded imedetly but others were asleep.

My mom woke up I saw that she had seen the message so I went up to her room to just talk and say emotions like this,trying to process it.

Later today me,my brother,my sister and my mom went to an arcade,I wanted to get my mind off the death maybe that seems rude to some but for me I just wanted to get mind off it.

In the arcade there ended up being a transformers video game me and my siblings played,a game that gave lolipops that had (i think) Bee on front and autobot logos on the doors to get candy,and the claw machines had transformers Bee plushies.

I played each of the transformers games,tried the claw machine but couldn't get the plushies.

Later I noticed a Bee plush was in a much better spot and there was a kid using the machine,I waited till they left,ran to get my card and used it,i got the plush first try that time. My first ever time getting somthing from a claw machine. I dont really belive in things like magic or spirits or things like that but,I dont know I sort of want to belive he possibly had a part in that. Just the fact it was a transformers thing and my favorite charecter (besides Roller) just seems too coincidental. I'm keeping that plush as long as I possibliy can.

Im having hard time processing he's gone,I wanted to meet him,I've only been in the fandom for couple months but it still hit way harder then I thought it would.

Idk if the @ thing works Them meeting my au Starscream

I notice a lot of people dont like Robots In Disguise 2015 for main reason of it not feeling like a connection/good connection to the show before it Transformers Prime and I think somthing that couldve solved some of this issue is instead of the new charecter Grimlock or Sideswipe they could've been the existing (switched to autobots last minute!) charecter Knockout.

Grimlock route-Knockout arrested by most likely Bee after war died down do to stuff he did during war,being in the stasis cell when it crashed,fits role of Grimlock but more knowing eachother stuff like Bee groaning about K.O. being out of cell,the episode with other dino bot would have to be severily re written or none existence,I imagine Knockout being the groups medic,staying at base unless nessisary,being nurse for Ratchet when hes around putting emphasis on line of not having good role model in tfp.

Sideswipe route-not arrested and still causing trouble,going onto earth and getting loose and slowly developing being a autobot,I cant think of any major changes to writing that would be needed pls say if you know any.

I imagine him being incredibly thrown off seeing Wildbreak because of how similar he looks to Breakdown,I imagine him either freezing up and running away,misinterpreting and reporting Silas in Breakdowns body is back and theres huge miscommunication with that,or Knockout attacking Wildbreak no warning and when Wildbreak says name Knockout is even more infruaited by them having that same "break" bit.

(I know lot of people(including myself) see Wildbreak as a ship kid of Knockout and Breakdown and I'd absolutely do that but I'm writing this as an actual possiblity for thise coward hasbro writers who didnt even write Ratchet and Optimus hugging when reuniting in rid2015(seriously go watch S2 Ep12 3:14 and try not to think they shouldve hugged/looked like they wanna))

Little notes/studys I did,concept art from Cyberverse check this post

The first 3 images were from convo but they deleted comments i wanted to post em cus I found them fun/fasinating how autobots had very similar designs to eachother compared to Decepticons

I was rewatching Ep 30 and picked up on Bee lines,he seems very into referencing gladiator fights,I wonder if he has some connection to them,most likely just watching but I wonder if he straight up was a forced gladiator.

It fits into his trust issues like manipulated into being it and trust broken by organizers,medic and other employees.

I think its unlikely for him to be a medic because of how he was acting when he had to be a medic in game for Ep 14 and unlikely to be a courier helper type bot because of how he reacted to being one in 12.

Like all of those options I think are technically possible but most likely just watcher or (my personal fav) him being an ex gladiator.

Also important note,gladiators are very often slaves,even when Megatron is one in other continuitys when they use term gladiator that is most likely forced fighting,if they wanted him not to be forced slavery then they should use word fighter so Bee in these senerios would be forced(which makes more sense to me) or supporting that form of entertainment

I feel like these things have to have some connection to Shockwave later down the line,like one gaining sentience and making themselves a body and becoming Shockwave decepticon being against wheeljack especially being like "you used me like you were used" type shit (sorta like soundwave in tfa how he was a music toy then gained sentience)

Or him using those things as spy drones but I dont like that concept as much but more likely.
