Description

So you know those comparisons of how things started versus how they are now? Behold: the circa 2021 versions of the Chimeras....and my drawing skills >_>

Recap: I had a Prime-based Transformers AU where Echo was the main character, and the sequel that was NOT RID15 involved her gathering the others, who were part of a Decepticon project and leading them to stop Unicron as the "Heralds of Primus", a group chosen by the Primes themselves as their avatars in this reality. As you may have noticed, THIS IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CHIMERAS PRESENT DAY AT ALL. A lot has changed, some things have stayed the same, but I'm a lot more happy with where I am with them now than I was. You love to see improvement.

Here's an overview of their characters then and now:

Echo: Echo was a medic in addition to a medic and was a Seeker. She was also a lot more naturally kinder and compassionate. She was a good person that had to learn to be a leader. In Rez, she's a leader that has to be a good person. She also isn't a medic, leans more into the shinobi motif, and turns into a helicopter. Also she wields salves, and not razorangs as a default weapon, and isn't sparkbonded to anyone....(Come hell or high water, I WILL find a way...)

Dawnbringer: Dawn was the naive, lady like little sister who grew up and became a force to be reckoned with, but still feminine. She controlled light instead of fire and wielded a sun-shaped shield....say that 5 times fast. In Rez, she's a sexy tomboy who's aggressive, ready for a fight, and turns into a motorcycle. She's really childish about it, too. Kinda like a younger Prime Arcee for a comparison. She wields a napalm blaster and fire infused blades as well.

Sideeye: Sideeye was originally supposed to be transgender and turned into a motorcycle as a hint to this. He was already with Circuit Breaker long before we met them, and was a kind big brother figure; humble but not afraid to show his skills as a sniper. And he was the second shortest Herald. Here, the ego is turned up to eleven and they are nonbinary. They turn into a muscle car and are competitive with Bumblebee rather than another OC of mine who you may see later (Wink wink). They are still a darn good sniper and electrokinetic though, and a big ol nerd. Oh, and they're the THIRD shortest now.

Riptide: Essentially Riptide and Dawnbringer swapped roles in this incarnation. Riptide is now a demure, quiet, ladylike ocean princess that also can snap into an aggressive monster at the drop of a hat. Originally she was from a colony of water dwelling Cybertronians and a chief's daughter that was in a tragic love situation that made her distant. She LOATHED dresses. Here, she wants to find love but is scared of herself hurting anyone. She's also a big eater, wields a trident instead of a scythe, has a second alt mode in a jet to circumvent the design flaw of having a waterlocked vehicle mode (Lampshaded FREQUENTLY by her).

Circuit Breaker: Arguably, he has changed the least. He still has a combination of brains and brawn, but even more colder and less talkative. You know what else changed? Frag a Swat vehicle, my thoughts are on TANK!! And BIG FRAGGING GUN!! He's also more of a schemer, but a soft side still comes through, especially with Echo and Sideeye. Also he can control all earth rather than just metal, which means yes, he's a metalbender too. Just...don't make him angry, you won't like him when he's angry.

Whew, dassa lotta info! But I'm proud of myself and all my hard work on them. I hope you enjoy!
