Cyberform AU: Answers To Questions 6

Rouge is sooo brave and beautiful. I love her, too bad we don't know much about her.

How big can cyberformed humans get? There has to be a point where they can grow to be as big as a normal Cybertronian. If they stayed the same size they were, it would be harder for them to assimilate despite being the size of a minion or cassette.

Hi Anon! Great question!

In fact, Cyberformed humans never remain human-sized. They are full-fledged Cybertronians. In "Part 2", the last point "Pre-bot", I already wrote that the bodies of former humans are formed with their individual characteristics. This means that he will be like a full-fledged Cybertronian, the size and body depend solely on his frame type (but with an individual design, model, and only some details can be inherited from the one who donated nanites). If a person is strong and powerful, and in the early stages he gets tank parts, most likely he will be the size of a tank. It all depends on the frame, of course, if a person consumed too many nanites of one frame during infection, there is a chance that he will become exactly this kind of Cybertronian (for example, this happened to Alexis, she is a seeker. Starscream is extremely proud of himself). A person, in general, inherits features along with the frame, for example, the fact that seekers need society and are afraid of tight spaces (for a former person, this can be an extremely unexpected phenomenon if he did not suffer from such phobias before). In fact, Cybertronians do not quite understand what exactly determines the predisposition to a particular type of frame in people. So when a person goes through the last stage, some Autobots make bets on who exactly the former person will be.

People grow during the "Pre-bot" phase as if in a dream, they are surrounded by energon and the necessary elements for growth, which is why the flasks change in the process. Roughly speaking, everything starts with a human-sized flask (probably a little larger), but the larger the former human's body becomes, the more spacious the flask they are changed to continue growing. Why aren't they immediately placed in a larger growth flask? This is so that the body does not rush to build up everything at once, the slow growth process helps to fully form all the systems slowly and gradually. (It goes without saying that compared to the Autobots and Decepticons who have been through a war for millions of years, cyberformed bots are the healthiest and not exhausted by wounds and damage). Simply put, by the time they wake up, their bodies are already ready and they do not need to go through the growth stages of humans and other organic species.

In short, they can be quite large (assuming they are not minicons or cassettes themselves, of course, but there are several minicons among the Cyberformed). And in anticipation of questions, I prepared a list of frames and people. So you can estimate who is what size (I will try to arrange them in the height list, but some Cyberformed bots may be, well… Larger than expected. Well, like… A truck is not all the same, remember. Because for example, Optimus, Motormaster and Sentinel are trucks, but most likely they have a difference in height).

List of frames and characters:

Tanks: William Lennox, Robert Epps, Agent William Fowler Trucks: Cade Yeager, Jack Darby, Red Seekers: Alexis, Chip Chase, Sara Lennox (I'm not sure). Scout-Class Space Satellite: Rafael Esqivel (he's about the size of Soundwave, maybe a little shorter, but not much) Cars: Carly, Mikaela Banes, Sam Witwicky, Tessa Yeager, Charlie Watson (minicon), Miko Nakaday, Verity Carlo, Danny Clay (he's just a car, but to Junkion's he's one of them) bro) Race Cars: Shane Dyson, Raoul, Noah Diaz Helicopter: Seymour Simmons

Rescue Bots: · Charlie Burns - police car · Kade Burns - fire truck · Graham Burns - engineering vehicle (haven't decided on a model yet) · Dani Burns - medical helicopter · Cody Burns - forestry helicopter Mining Equipment (other production): Sparkplug Witwicky, Spike Witwicky Insecticon: June Darby (moth type: Argema mittrei) Dinobot: Daniel Witwicky (minicon, he transforms into Galimim) Beastbot: Russel Clay (minicon, transforms into a cybercat, probably a more bigger than Ravage)

This is a list of those with whom I have more or less decided, of course there are those whose frames I have not decided on in their list: Isaac Sumdac, Sari Sumdac (she will probably be a minicon), Green Family (Doc. Green, Fransin, Professor Baranova, Sisi), Woodrow Burns and Izabella.

You may not agree with my choice and have your own idea of ​​what this or that character transforms into (this is normal). When I make articles about characters with their design and model, perhaps there will be a little more clarity. I will also write what this or that character does on Diego Garcia.

For the rest, to understand what Cyberform AU is: Character List Lore parts: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Answers to questions: Q&A1, Q&A2

Who needs rivals?

@soundwaveweek

“So who was your rival?”

Soundwave displayed a question mark on his visor. Miko rolled her eyes.

“You know! Breakdown and Bulkhead were rivals. Megatron and Optimus were rivals. So were ‘Cee and Screamer for a while, though I think Airachnid was her rival for longer. Wheeljack and Dreadwing might have been rivals too. So who’s your rival?”

“Soundwave: not petty enough to have a rival.”

“Oh, humor the kid,” Wheeljack said from across the room. “Which ‘Bot did you feel was closest to being your equal? Or maybe the one you disliked the most?”

“Disliked: Blaster.” He displayed an image of the mech on his visor for the children. “Dangerous: Jazz.” He showed an image of him too. “Rafael.” An image of the boy popped up.

The real boy blushed. “Me?”

“Rafael: skilled.”

“Wow, kid, write this one down for Archives. One of the biggest baddest ‘Cons thinks you’re dangerous.” Wheeljack said.

“What about me?” Miko asked.

“Miko: terrifying.”

The small girl fist pumped and ran out of the room shouting, “Hey, Bulkhead, guess what!”

Wheeljack gave Soundwave a sidelong look. “You also used that word to Frenzy and Rumble.”

Soundwave nodded. “Pure untamed chaos.” He played a clip of the twin minicons laughing maniacally. “Primus save us.”

Hey guys! I have a small ad!

In my country, the authorities began to block a number of sites, as usual, for communication, publishing creativity or news (DeviantArt no longer works for us)

That is why I am afraid that something like this might happen to this site (isolation of the Runet, they may have heard). In general, really scary things happen, so if I suddenly disappear for more than a couple of months, then you probably know that we were blocked.

In fact, I really run the risk of reporting this, since now in Russia it’s quite possible to go to prison for words.This is another reason for which this message will be without tags, so it will be more difficult to find.😢

I hope that everything works out, and I will continue to show you my work in the form of constant updates.

Thank you for your attention!

The language of miners.

A little thoughts. Some time ago, I was visited by the idea that some of the cybertronians might have developed a universal language because of a particular work. Just imagine that you have been spending almost your whole life on one or another job, this cannot but affect you. One way or another, the profession leaves its mark.

And that’s what I thought about. What if … the miners have developed their own language, which they practice from one generation to other generation? Just think the mines is a dark, dangerous place, you can also encounter Sparkeater (or any other monsters), even heavy noise or vibration can lead to a collapse or attract the attention of dangerous creatures. What language is best suited if even speak in unstable areas can be dangerous?

Bio light. Language from flashes of light, this is quiet and universal for a dark place. Just imagine, the miners spend most of the time developing the sleeves of the mines and I doubt very much that the lighting would be extended everywhere. Obviously, the furs of this profession has flashlights (if you look at the Terminus, they are part of its helmet), I think that the lines of the bio lights among the cybertronians can also be bright enough to illuminate a small space around themselves.

I think this language could resemble something like Morse code. Short or long flashes, just imagine how fast the miners must react to read each other's messages. It is also quite universal, in the sense that the language for this profession is single and does not have branches, like for example in the language of the Seeker wings (I suppose that the difference between Vos and other cities of flying bots can most likely be, the language is still common, but the accents and dialects can be different. Like the languages ​​of one group on Earth, for example, like among the Slavic peoples). This would suggest that they can probably flash biofires more strongly (well, in theory they are brighter than other Cybertronians), I also think that young miners probably remember it faster than normal speech. It would be funny to see a young miner trying to communicate in this way with a bot whose profession does not intersect with miners. Imagine police bots that depending on the city or state can often cross paths with miners and can speak this flash language fluently. There are so many applications for this and it would be really interesting.

I think by the way, in addition to the flashes, it would be logical to add body language and maybe touch. That miners can be quite tactile, you know, tap a comrade gently on the shoulder with their fingers to get attention (I think they can move quietly so as not to cause a lot of vibrations, so getting attention in this way would be logical) or point at something and only then the bio lights come into play. That's why groups of miners could be closely related. Their communication culture would simply imply close contact for communication.

If someone asks, imagine a young Megatron writing poetry and putting on a real light show for the rest of the miners, it's crazy haha. This language may not be understood by others, so it has advantages both in terms of romantic manifestations and in military affairs. Considering that many Decepticons were from lesser professions, the language of bio ligths would be common among their.

I take Tailgate very seriously.

Kinda bored so I make this video for fun (p1)
