Ouch! It Seems To Be A Fragment Of A Large Illustration For A Zine. At The Beginning Of August I Will

I may or may not have made a vine edit dedicated to chapter 36 of Uninstall :’)

Mentorship in Cybertronian Culture.

You know the idea of ​​mentorship in Cybertronian culture has so much potential. I like to think about it and imagine different scenarios and features that could happen. It's like a spoonful of honey to imagine the structure of family units in Cybertronian culture. (Thanks to Skybound where they talk about it as "clans", you feed my favorite trope of the "found family").

I think mentorship differs depending on the class of the bot, the type of frame, the destiny (future job) they are assigned, and also the method of appearance (well, you know, there are only two in canon: forged and constructed. Sparklings are not included in this system due to the fact that they have creators). This creates an extremely wide variety in how someone was trained, looked after, this also shapes personality, character traits and habits (someone is more aware because he had a lot of time to learn, and vice versa, someone less because from the moment he appeared he only had to work). Of course, it is impossible to give all new bots a mentor, moreover, I think mentoring is a fairly voluntary matter that is monitored by certain bodies (analogous to child protection, only "Protection of Newbies", maybe there is some other name there, I don't know. The child protection system in different countries is different, so I can't compare it to anything specific). Although I think it does not protect against bad mentors or the absence of them at all (a whole portal to angst, for those who were unlucky. At such moments, I remember Soundwave, who was found by Ravage).

I also like to assume that the style and culture of Cybertronian city-states are different, that mentors absorb it themselves and pass it on to their wards. Imagine if a Cybertronian from Iacon moved to Kaon to work, took a newbie there and trained him. Of course, the new bot would absorb Iacon traits like a sponge, poor stupid baby. And considering the idea @lets-try-some-writing, about how young Cybertronians learn to speak… (sorry, I like it so much, I hope you don't mind if i mentioning it). Just imagine how many ridiculous, comedic situations would happen to newbies.

I'm convinced that Cybertronians most likely have equivalents to social networks. So mentors would exchange funny videos and photos of how the new bot is trying to learn about the world around them. You know, like that parent who remembers all your shame and when meeting your boyfriend/girlfriend tries to show them your most ridiculous moments because they think it's cute. Just imagine the funniest ridiculous ideas, the likelihood that they could happen increases. OOO OR BETTER! Imagine that the mentor bot has not one newbie, but several… The newbies would behave like that noisy childe pack that the adult bot would have to place in different corners.

I also like the ridiculous idea that new Cybertronians could try to imitate everything they see (this is their attempt to understand their own position, social aspects of behavior and generally how to fit into society and the world). Even, for example, Cybertronian fauna. For one of my characters, I literally created a scene where the mentor is walking with a newbie and his service cyberhound. When the Senior bot decides to throw something like a stick to the cyberhound, he naturally shouts "Fetch" and just watches as the newbie runs after the stick with his dog… Imagine the face of the newbie, who was then explained that he is not a cyberhound, he does not need to try to take the stick away or run after it. (This shame was not washed away, but the mentor is touched by this, as the newbie was small and stupid). What a mentor sees when a newbie awkwardly slips on level ground:

Cyberform AU - Part 3

Commune "Diego Garcia" (Autobot base for Cyberformed allies).

Warning: Attention: in this AU, all human allies of the Autobots are in the same universe (reality), for the sake of their psychological well-being.

The human government is not particularly happy about the fact that Cybertronians can change humans. It is quite logical that this scares them, fortunately the Autobots and Decepticons are not very inclined to cyberform just anyone.

In fact, the government was largely unaware of this until 1984 (or later) when Sparkplug and Spike were reported "disappearing" (that's right, they were the first). Also, the Autobots became more protective and closed during the disappearance period, not allowing human agents into part of the ARC. This behavior and unwanted questions created a couple of unpleasant incidents (Optimus was not very happy, he had to regulate the resulting friction and calm everyone down, although he knew what was going on). Later, when the "new bots" appeared for special agents and later the government, the puzzle came together. It was not difficult, since the former humans were still less accustomed to the new realities of their lives, they willingly used human terms, concepts and names. In addition, the Autobots began to request human items, such as pillows and blankets, the size of a Cybertronian. (All in the name of adaptation, so that it would be easier for a person to gradually get used to the new, plus old familiar things were gradually replaced with Cybertronian ones, a slow transition did not allow the former people to get nervous once again).

This was shocking, but it was decided to hide this information, firstly, not to cause panic among the public, and secondly, there were few cyberformed humans, it was easier to turn a blind eye to the disappearance of a couple of people than to question a politically (and not only) advantageous alliance. In addition, the government believed that it could use former people against the Autobots themselves in case of danger (later this resulted in an extremely unpleasant situation for the cyberformed, due to which they quickly left Earth and moved to Cybertron).

It was decided to give the Autobots another place for this process, so as not to disturb the agents and not to cause unnecessary conflicts (the protective nature of the Cybertronians at some stages was quite unpleasant for the joint work of people and bots).

Diego Garcia Island: It is a former military base, but it was completely given to the Autobots to develop it and keep the cyberformed away from the public eye until they are ready to keep their secret. And so that the cyberforming process does not traumatize other people who are not so close to the Cybertronians ("What is not there, does not exist / there are no witnesses, no victims" - said the human government and pointed towards the island).

If a human ally gets to the island, then a special department cleans up all paper or other sources about this person, erasing them from the system as if such a person never existed, since he will not return to the world of people. Sometimes you have to bribe people, but usually threats and money are enough to make them keep quiet. The old data that is not deleted is sent to the island for the cyberformed themselves.

On Diego Garcia, the Cyberform Commune was created, they have their own leader, a management system, they also work to preserve important cultural parts of their lives. In the commune, former humans undergo final processes and treatment (they receive support from those who have already gone through this). They receive an education from the Autobots and a profession if possible (if their human profession has a Cybertronian equivalent). The commune is mostly subordinate to Optimus and other high-ranking Autobots (they mostly do not participate in combat missions, the Autobots collectively decided that their comrades are not yet mentally ready for such things, although some enthusiasts show a desire to fight side by side. However, there are exceptions). Diego Garcia, in a way, serves as a support function for the Autobots, there is also a large laboratory with a medical bay.

In a way, Diego Garcia is practically a Cybertronian city, a small settlement by human standards. Access there is mainly through the air, a ship or a space bridge.

To understand what Cyberform AU is: Q&A1 Character List

I painted Sealand again, but this time surrounded by flowers! I like to watch anime and read manga. Of course, the rare appearance of Peter as the main character makes me happy, because he was always close to me in spirit!

One dude asked me to draw other people from cartoons (Transformers Prime, Rescue Bots and RID2015). That's why the first person I decided to paint is Denny.

I have an AU where the kids from TFP are actually lost bots. In fact, I have a whole theory, I will sometimes just show art.

(heОй! Вот Это Да! Неожиданно получить тег. Хотя почему бы и нет!

1. Я график. Я люблю много интересных стилей, атмосферное искусство и просто отличные идеи.

2. В прошлом году у меня было три варианта: врач, график или медицинский эксперт. (Очень странный и в то же время забавный круг профессий, но я подумал, что должен помогать людям, и поэтому две профессии, связанные с медициной, более чем объяснимы) Однако выбор пал на искусство, поскольку оно всегда было ближе к меня,

3. Мне нравится узнавать что-то новое, тем самым обогащая свой разум новыми знаниями, даже если это мне не полезно. (Но в разговоре с новыми друзьями вы можете рассказать им кучу классных или просто забавных фактов)

4. Я люблю насекомых (я думаю, они довольно милые)

5. Я не знаю, как ухаживать за садом (единственные растения, которые хорошо существуют - это кактусы и декоративные растения)    @ doodle-on-notes Спасибо, что передали это мне! Well, I’ll pass it on to those who follow my work (thanks💖😭) @mysticqueen-bee @mavka-chan @riolu4 @xchellmoonchild​ @vexia123​  (I would like to mention all of you! Thank you for reading this blog!)

When you get this you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool!!) 💕

Don’t exactly know what the rules are but ok.

1. I’m a software engineer.( hence the fact that I love robots and post a bunch of programming memes)

2. I started going to college at 15. (I actually graduated college before high school)

3. I don’t know how to drive. ( I love that quote from “Clueless” on a daily basis)

4. I wanted to go to art school but went to college for engineering because it would be more economic in the long run. ( I actually regret not pursuing my dreams and encourage you all to take a chance on yourself because as Shakespeare once said, “It’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.”)

5. I’m allergic to cats. I can survive a maximum 1 hour of direct exposure in an enclosed environment with a cat. Anything past that and I will begin having respiratory problems. If I breathe in the cat hair then my esophagus becomes inflamed. I actually had a sleepover with a friend and her cat jumped on me in my sleep. I had my mouth open as I was sleeping and lost my voice for a few days after the experience.

Thanks @infintyfandoms for the fun ask!

I guess it’s time to call of some of my lovely followers.

The leadership structure of the Seekers

The Winglord theme is actually so interesting in itself. I like that most people in the fandom somehow unanimously decided that such a position exists, and it makes sense since the cities on Cybertron are city-states, meaning they have a local ruler/government and other structures.

On the other hand, it seems to me that Winglord should not only be a position of power, but also full of obligations. What is Winglord for? (Obviously, for governance, but its position cannot be just a privilege). What obligations can this position bear for the one who occupies this position. Here are my couple of ideas.

It seems to me that the Seekers' leadership structure is actually arranged like that of birds. Birds in nature do not actually have a leader. This concept simply goes to the oldest and most experienced birds, who stand at the head of the wedge. It is no secret that humanity, in its desire to conquer the skies, focused on birds, but what if Cybertronians do it differently? What if, in fact, Winglord is not a title earned by birth or inheritance like the same kings, but a title given to the most experienced flyer among all? Sounds good, plus it would explain why Starscream takes this place.

A Winglord is not a title that can be inherited, it is a calling that a true ace of his craft receives, anyone, be it forged or constructed, can receive it, age also plays no role. There is no luck or fortune in the sky, only cold calculation and the risk that the pilot is willing to take. In the process, you either succeed or die, there is no other way from it. A Winglord is a master of his craft, any noble king or general he will displace from their position with his skill. His task is to teach young seekers to reach their level of skill, as well as to provide weaker brothers with safety. If you give a Winglord a choice between his brothers and an imaginary leader (usually a bot, not necessarily having a flying altform), then he will choose his brothers. The duty of a Winglord is to care for the well-being of everyone, regardless of social status or work. If the previous Winglord dies, his fellow triads must take it upon themselves to finish his work, keeping the Seeker community safe and in order until a new bot can be chosen to take his place. Like birds in a flock, the Winglord and his fellow triads must lead their charges to a better future. (They do not have to be ready for this, as leadership can never be. Experience in leading others always comes with experience.)

I would compare Winglord to a person who received the flame of Prometheus for the first time. It is not only a blessing, but also the greatest duty to distribute this flame to everyone. An obligation that does not allow you to chicken out and retreat. I think Winglord's obligations consist mainly of preserving the number of seekers, he cannot allow even the weak to die, since this is a risk of losing the chance for the development of their society, losing the much-needed and vital primacy in the sky (flight is life). It can also be a vision of treaties, about better supplies, in exchange for the energon they found, they could set their own conditions (perhaps one of these conditions once became the city of Vos, because having your own city/settlement, you could avoid discrimination). The amount of obligations may vary depending on the political situation of Cybertron (I think during the golden age or pre-war period, Winglord was a status similar to King and was inherited because it greatly limited the seeker society, focusing them not on mastery but on the "military" path. This was a guarantee of stability, although it could cause unrest in the seeker society).

Many write that Starscream Winglord, probably during the war that we see in the comics, this is indeed true. Vos fell, the wonderful city in the "heavens" was destroyed, like other cities. There is a possibility that many senior Seekers who were there could have died. Starscream has always been ambitious, but as much as he craves leadership, he is also a master in flying (let's not deny it, after all, he hardly got his position only because of the "Beautiful Scarlet Optics"). Starscream not only could, but probably was a good leader for his comrades. He was definitely not ideal, but he learned this gradually gaining experience. Starscream has all the good qualities of a leader: charisma, intelligence, oratory skills. It probably also kept him in the position of Winglord for a long time, and also this management experience helped him become a good leader after the war (and although this is debatable, but I consider him a better leader than Windblade. He knew what problems Cybertronian society could face after such a long war. About those problems that preceded the war. He knew what he was managing, that he had the best potential… Honestly, this makes him even more tragic in my eyes)

Winglord is a duty to move society forward and take care of it, a guarantee of progress. Stagnation for this status means loss of independence for all seekers.
