Description I so need to get used to my new tablet! T~T; The surface is so smooth I can barely feel the pen on it so I keep making wobbly lines, ahhahahhahahha; My old one lasted 13 years so I'd say it deserves the rest. :'D

ANYWAY!


More Predacons for me, and sorry, I'm hoarding them all to myself since they're Tranquil's tribe mates! Talk about a colorful bunch, huh? More to come, eventually! I already have two who aren't finished ('Concierge' and 'Hide and Seek') and I'm in need of redesigning the first one's alt-mode. I'm not happy with the wings. I've been looking at these and occasionally giggle a little because they're reminding me of things like robot unicorn and Iron Man... That unicorn lookalike alt-mode was first a joke, but then I decided 'why the heck not? ' and there he is proudly standing among the others.

The images aren't in scale so you know! The middle one is the smallest, and is actually smaller than Quil, making him something they can grab for hugs if they ever need one! Though I can't say Stomper himself is very happy about it!


Running Wild
He doesn't have a face actually and functions similar to that of a bat! His voice is a bit distorted and metallic when he talks. The shoulder spikes actually forms the head of his alt-mode, on the left is jaw, on the right is the head itself. Size wise he's same as Scrabble and those two are rivals in most random things. One of the competitions was who'd purr the loudest, and another was about who'd manage to pile biggest crust of dried mud on themselves without it breaking. Yup. It's not possible to tell what the two would compete about next but that's exactly why others find it quite entertaining when it happens. Running Wild is also quite rough with his tribe mates and rarely takes a 'no' for an answer. When that happens and Scrabble is around the latter smacks, or tries to smack, some sense into Runny. Most of the time it works, occasionally it backfires and Scrab ends up being the 'target' instead. 

A Predacon clone. Got his name by literally running around the home after being let out of the incubation tank. He didn't stop until the queen managed to catch him and that ended by everyone piling up on him so that he definitely wasn't going anywhere.

On a battlefield he'd charge head first and if the swing of his head doesn't render their opponent incapacitated, he'll breath fire on them and try and melt them. There's always a need of raw materials back at home! (Quite many idiots keep wrecking the place, he included, so some have taken it as a job to either fix things or provide materials. Runny does the latter~)


Scurry
He's sensitive and starts to complain the moment he's dragged out of his comfort zone. One requires only to have colder hands than what his temperature is and he'll be all whiny. Perhaps his ability to sense electric currents has something to do with that. Perhaps it's not the cold hand itself, but the current that the other bot emits that sets his mood off. No one really knows for sure which causes it, but the tantrums he makes occasionally has made all aware of his condition. He also has a habit of talking out loud his thoughts and distract others occasionally. Otherwise Scurry is a nice and a calm bot, mostly, who likes to munch his energon cube slowly in peace. Size wise he's a bit taller than Tranquil. 

A Predacon clone. When he got out of the tank, he was curious as heck, checking everyone, sniffing around the whole place, asking questions when he understood he could transform to bipedal mode and it took quite some time for his curiosity to be satisfied.

Unlike majority of Predacons, he doesn't spit fire but acid instead in his alt-mode. His wings, horn(s) and back fins absorbs the gasses from the atmosphere and mixed with other stuff in him the destroying and melting mixture is ready to be spat on a poor enemy's face! It's not very effective against other Predacons thanks to their different build and resistance, but surely is annoying and stingy! And if someone is unlucky and happens to be a non-Predacon, the acid would start to melt their armor quite quickly. Sure there's ways to prevent the melting but who knows what kinds of chemicals it would take to stop it. A good way is to cut off the armor or limb where it hit to be sure!


Stomper
Tiny as in smaller than most of his tribe, reaching only up to Tranquil's waist, which means he's even shorter than Bulkhead (TFP). He's not very quick with movements in robot mode, thus he's easy to catch and be huggle-snuggled like most of his tribe does to him. But one must not do it in the middle of a game! Stomper likes to play Cybertronian chess and if he's interrupted, he'll become a small and not so friendly wrecking ball as he transform to his alt-mode and bites tails, or ankles if there's no such thing as tail attached to the bot he's angry at. He's otherwise a thinker person who likes puzzle solving and defeating obstacles with thinking instead of brutal force. If there's no other way than force, he'll talk over or bribe ask for someone to assist. 

A Predacon clone. Stomper got his name because he felt threatened by all the big bots when let out from the incubation tank and tried to intimidate people around him by stomping on their toes or feet.

He might be small for a Predacon, but he can still spit fire as well as anyone else in the tribe. It's partly his luck that he's small, because a small target is harder to hit and on four feet Stomper becomes a lot quicker. Beware if you let him near. He won't just chew your ankle, he might actually bite your whole leg off!


Screecher
Always smiling, always sleepy optics, both permanent no matter what he tries to do about it. He and Scrabble quite often sing songs and tell stories. What can two ancient bots do when they have a lot to share? He has the ability to use his voice to cause distortion in other bots to knock them off balance and make their audials ring like heck. But he'd rather use his voice to bring joy by pretty melodies instead. He's spending most of his days making decorations and what not and putting them around their home where ever he finds place for it. Their queen has taken a liking of many of them, and has put them on display in her own chamber. Screecher couldn't be happier everytime her Highness decides she'd like to have one more.

Not a Predacon clone. Screecher crawled out of the Well of the Allspark eons ago. He did have a different name because Tranquil's tribe wasn't always his. Screecher's own tribe got more and more violent but he didn't and it started to be a big issue. During an event where he tried to stop a meaningless slaughter of a bot he was about to experience the same fate, but he managed to escape, albeit damaged. This was due to him flying towards another tribe and hoped they'd help, and that's what happened. That tribe scared Screecher's own tribe members away thanks to their bigger number, but it wasn't easy for him to convince them that he could be trusted. The queen gave him a certain time period to make himself worthy of their time and thanks to his positive attitude and singing skills he began to gain their trust. Eventually, after about a few millenniums, the queen welcomed Screecher to her tribe and gave him his new name, name given because of the audial piercing screeches he made when he assisted driving his own tribe away. All this happened before the Great Cataclysm.

Breathes similar blue fire like Tranquil does due to it being oxygen rich. Some describes him being a scary opponent because he looks sleepy and smiles at the same time, even during a battle. These days Screecher has learned to be more aggressive towards threats, because he loves his tribe more than anything else and he wants to protect it at all cost. He's also the tallest of the tribe, Scrabble barely reaching to the beak on his chest.


Lazy Tail
She can walk around very quietly and who knows how many times she has scared innocent tribe mates by simply 'appearing' behind them all of a sudden. It doesn't help her case that she uses the wings on her back as extra legs occasionally, making her look more creepy than necessary. Lazy Tail likes to listen and rather not interrupt anyone who has something to tell, but if she's given a turn to speak, she will use her chance to express herself and her views on the matter. She also has an unintentional 'bad' habit of eavesdropping discussions because of her curiosity. Every here and then she and a few other tribe members gather to make an energon eating festival and actually carve and sculpt the energon cubes into more fancy shapes of what ever comes to their minds. Screecher is one of them who always joins the gathering and she appreciates his advices on what to make and how to achieve the shapes. Because of Lazy Tail's ability to sense energon and its structures, usually her sculptures ends up being the most interesting looking, since she can tell where it's easier to carve and which parts are harder or more fragile. Lazy Tail is also the leader of the energon hunt team and this far they haven't had any trouble sustaining their energy levels which was more difficult earlier.

A Predacon clone. She was born in her bipedal mode, and is only about four thousand years old. When she was let out of the tank, she was cautious about everyone who welcomed her into the world. Her first steps weren't so gracious as she slipped on the metal floor and fell multiple times trying to get up. Tribe members assisted her and she found out that keeping her tail on the ground helped with her issues on balancing. She really wasn't made for walking on a smooth surface and it took time for her to learn how she could use her wings to help with standing. Their queen thought it looked cute when she dragged her tail on the ground, thus she got her name. First of the queen's ideas was to name her 'Slipper' but that didn't sound so good! She's a head shorter than Tranquil but if she straightens herself as much as she can, she's taller than him, but that's just too uncomfortable so a hunched posture is more natural for her build!

Lazy Tail is not much of a fighter but she can sense other bots in certain proximity and warn her tribe about possible approaching threats. Because of those two combined, during scouting she's always paired up with Bulwark who acts as her guard. If an emergency comes, she can climb up on Bulwark and hide herself almost completely underneath his back armor plates in his alt-mode. Unlucky for her, she was away from home on an energon hunt when the Decepticons did their surprise attack that almost killed Tranquil and another tribe mate.



TL;DR: Bunch of Predacon fan characters of mine!

Ohh i really love these! I like the different body shapes. Especially the character on the far right <3 Alot of artists tend to stick to the "human shape"(oops guilty otl) for their oc's so i like how you really made the characters look "alien"

pika In reply to TheShyCorona [2016-08-25 17:37:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

I try to avoid humanshape as much as I can. Thus I make broader shoulders for everyone, over long necks occasionally, arms and legs out of proportions compared to humans, even feet and hands way too big in comparison, or three to six fingers ect. There's a lot of possibilities to break  "human anatomy"!

And I want them to look alien because to us... THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE!

Itse käytän sanaa "alt-mode" eli "alternate mode". "Mode" on käännettynä "ilmenemismuoto" tai "tila" tai koko sana näin vapaasti käännettynä: "jossakin toisessa muodossa oleva kuin bottina".
