Description
Part 2:That car in the background is my royal blue 2008 Honda Fit Sport made into my OC Transformer, Velocity. I wish my license plate actually said "VMCHN" because I refer to 'him' as 'the V Machine'.
..I mentioned in the past that I've had a huge desire to work on a Transformers Live Action Movie Verse / Beast Wars/Machines crossover and lately, my muse has refused to leave me alone so I'm writing down ideas and filling my sketchbook with various doodles, only this one became much more than a silly old doodle and I couldn't resist drawing two of my top favorite Beast Machines (I know, I know, I'll get around to drawing more of my version of Beast Machine Dinobot).
The kid in Rattrap's arms is my fan character Vance McCartney (yes, he also plays a completely unrelated part in my "Integration" story, I just wanted to reuse him for this particular story too, just with a completely different backstory), who has recently discovered is not exactly human anymore. In a car accident, Vance lost his mother and his legs and suffered a series of serious internal injuries and despite all attempts to save him, is unresponsive and remains comatose and is kept as functional as possible with the use of life preserving machinery. His father, unwilling to accept the both the loss of his wife and his son to a coma, which he may never wake from, happens to be a member of sector seven. He contacts his close friend, Tom Banacheck, who is the head of Sector Seven's Advanced Research Division and like an uncle to Vance. He cares very much for Vance and shares Mr. McCartney's desperation to save his comatose son from life as a vegetable. Tom assembles a small team of scientists and they perform the unthinkable. After using the allspark to experiment on different machines (phones, televisions, etc), they voted to attempt to transform a human for the first time in hopes of saving a life. The Six Million Dollar Man (the bionic man) inspired me to do this. "We can rebuild him. We. HAVE. The TECH-NOLOGYYYYYYYYY!!!!" The only big difference that can't be easily explained is that the transformation turned his brown hair and eyes electric blue. He later realizes that embarrassingly, ALL his body hair has turned blue, heh... Try explaining THAT to your Andrologist (men's health Doctor), kiddo!
I have always been fascinated by the techno-organic nature of the Beast Wars/Machines. A set of prosthetic legs were attached to Vance's stumps and after using the allspark to zap him, all the metal throughout his body, including the prosthetic legs, assimilated and transformed into living metal (techno - organic). Vance awakens. However, the experiment is kept classified and Vance never discovers what he has become and is led to believe that he is something of a real life 'bionic man'.
It's not until later that the Transformers show up (TF Movie 2007) and Vance is involved in an altercation with Decepticons (a bit after the end of the first TF live movie), that he is seriously injured and in being maliciously toyed with, has his legs snapped off. Vance actually feels the pain of them being ripped off as if they were his own and from his wounds and mangled legs, bleeds a mixture of human blood and neon blue energon. The Autobots/Maximals realize that this kid needs their own medics to deal with this... Rhinox and Ratchet.
When Velocity says "breem", that is the Cybertronian equivalent of about 8.3 Earth minutes.
Needless to say, once Vance is taken care of, there's going to be A LOT of explainin' to do.
The story is really long and detailed, so I'd go on forever trying to tell the whole thing... so I apologize for any confusion. I just couldn't resist sharing this labor of love!
Also, I'm very sorry I couldn't fit Bumblebee in this, but I ran out of page space and he's huge compared to the humans and beast machines.. So, if I HAD drawn him, all you'd really see in this is his foot and maybe part of a leg...
There is also Bot!Sam x Bee pairing in this story too, etc because I roll like that. I haven't decided who I want Vance to hook up with though....

IT's either Rattrap x Vance or that awesome character I really love from the first TF film, Maggie Madsen. She was a spunky aussie gal that would be quite suitable in a paring for Vance and I've been itching to explore er character/personality... Argh, tough decisions on pairings.. blergh! .. as for Velocity, he's more like a very brotherly role to Vance. I've explored it some, but I don't see Velocity and Vance fitting romantically. It's just a very close brother bond. Agent Tom Banacheck is Vance's Godfather and was requested in Vance's father's will that Tom watch over and take care of Vance, to fulfill the fatherly advice/role and nurture him because just because Vance is close to reaching 18 years old, that doesn't meant the learning or growing stops. He needs a human ally that has known the boy since he was young and that's why Vance's father chose he boss/friend to take that place.

I loved Maggie Madsen in the TF film. She was witty, intelligent, very beautiful, and could kick some serious ass (in heels) when needed, plus accents are just plan awesome! She would be a very good choice I think to pair up with Vance. But having a relationship with Rattrap would be so unexpected and yet I think not only would make sense, but would be a really cool story. I see what you mean, there are so many cool options to choose from! So hard to decide which is more amazeballs...

I've give the possible pairings some thought whether I end up deciding on Vance x Velocity, or Vance x Maggie, or Rattrap x Vance... who knows.. we shall see what the muse will come up with I really should rush these ideas because every now and then I get the pull to turn my head to a paring that I would not have initially chosen. I always look forward to your feedback! Oh, and please take care of yourself! I worry about you!

Any of those would be wicked cool, but I have to say I'm partial to the idea of Maggie cause she was a freaking awesome character in the first Transformer's movie...and she is just so awesome.

I'm really intrigued by that idea! i think it could be a wicked cool story line, you should definitely fool around with it (Sorry for not answering sooner,I was in the hospital
)

You make me worry a lot because I don't know everything that's going on with you so hearing bits and pieces just makes my overactive imagination concoct such horrible nightmarish situations.....

Wow, I quite like Vance's back stories! Really impressive! Velocity is also a really cool Transformers OC! I like how you managed to make them go together wit hthe whole guardian dealie. I am very intrigued by these characters! Also Beast Wars/Bayverse Transformers cross over? You win 1000 internets for that! <3 I love Beast Wars, and the Bayverse story lines, so to see them crossed is just sublime! I can tell you invested a lot of effort into the story and character development, which is a large part of the appeal for your fan characters for me. I love how you give them really solid back stories and personalities. Do you plan to make this a comic, or a written fan fiction? I would love to read this, if you do. (if you have already, please forgive me for being a derp who overlooked it.)

Yeah, that happens when you have a douche-canoe Decepticon as tall as a house with the intent to kill, stomping on a man's SUV and ripping out a kid like Vance and dangling him upside down by his legs. Glad ya like the pic

NP. To be honest. I never like the Michael Bayformers I thought it horrible. I'm glad there are still some people like Beast Machines, there's not that many that does.

If anything, I actually LOVE the design of many of the transformers in the bay movies!!! They're just so neat and uber detailed and I LOVE detail, but that's just me. I love Sam and the set up of his Grandfather, etc, but the rest of the plot really just fizzled out into WTF at several moments and I hate Megan Fox as Mikaela with a passion. I miss the Aussie Maggie Madsen and was thinking of throwing her into my crossover as Vance's love interest, but I'm not sure because I thought perhaps of pairing him with one of the bots, but... nothing's really spoken out to me as a definite yet. Anyway, yes, I've always loved Beast Wars/Machines!!!! (I've just never had any faith in my ability to draw or represent them in fanart or stories). Ever and Always, I'll love Beast Machines, even if the plot for wasn't great at times, especially that weak ending and WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERY PRIME HAVE TO OFF HIMSELF AS A SACRIFICE?! ARGH!! >_< IT happened in Transformers Prime, too!!!! I'm sorry, Primes are great and love it more when they actually hang around to have an influence on their brighter future instead of die as martyr. It's a cliche plot device done to death, literally and figuratively. ...rambling, sorry,...moving on now.. Heh I talk too much.
