Earthspark Radio and Thunderstrike! Two bots doing their best to survive in a very hostile and struggling world <3

Cautious, clever and charming, it's no wonder Thunderstrike has survived in this harsh world as long as he has. His ability to outsmart the bots around him and carefully gauge the risk of all attempts to get fuel make him quite the survivor. A known neutral who used to make speeches of how such a horrible unnecessary war would tear apart their home, when the war got violent and casualties starting piling up Thunderstrike found himself caught in the chaos of a home now covered in blood and the dead frames of his loved ones. He was in the middle of it all and his mind did not come out unscathed, despite his talents Thunderstrike still doesn't know why it had to be Him to come out alive, why he deserved life more than the others around him... The obvious answer is he really didn't... But he can't trouble himself with those thoughts too often now, he now had a daughter to take care of. While he never intended to suddenly find himself a father Thunderstrike does the best he can to make sure she doesn't end up like the others.

She can't end up like the others, she just can't...

Radio is a young excitable and very curious Terran! With wide eyes and even wider ears this little bat is ready to take to the skies and learn to fly... Only for Thunderstrike to tell her it's far too dangerous to. Yes Radio feels like most young girls her age do, ready to see the world, to see adventure, she's not wanting to leave the nest, just get her first chance to truly fly, but at every turn she is faced with Thunderstrike shaking his head and pleading with her to go back to the safety of their home. She listens of course, she loves her father and trusts him on that sort of thing, but it's frustrating, is this truly the way all kids her age are meant to live? And if the war is over why does it weigh on Thunderstrike's mind so heavily?

Why can't everyone just move on and forget such a horrible thing? Can't they all just get along...

decided to create some simple Cybertronian bases, these were so fun I want to do more! Esp since in creating a secret project of mine I had multiple people tell me they wanted to create TF ocs but weren't sure how to draw them so if people want to see more of these I'm happy to make more! They are free to use with credit, all I ask is no attempt to profit off them or pass the lineart off as your own.

Transparent vers below <3 if u do use these please tag me I'd love to see what ppl create with them!

I only recently realized I haven't posted Radio's most recent redesign yet, so my followers were missing out on her digigrade legs and some story elements in the alternate designs. Note that here Radio is no longer 16 but 19, due to a timeskip in her story. There's also just a lot of little markings and colors differences I believe but anyways, here she is! My best girl <3 Might be taking a break from doing a lot with her og form to branch out into other conts but dw she's not going anywhere anytime soon <3

"How could anyone think I'm lovely When they retch at the sight of me?"

constantly think about Blackarachnia and the fact she deserves so much more, she was a constant victim of ableist comments about her scars and condition from both cons and autobots, but is so villianized in fanon I just don't understand it. She's such a complex and tragic character dripping in self hatred and self destruction, the fandom really does miss out on her in terms of content...

*collaspes in front of you* HEY,, FINALLY GOT THIS BEAST DONE,, course what we have here is a comic exploring more of one of my most popular shockbee ideas which is Bumblebee and Longarm having stayed in touch via video calls after Autoboot Camp and before Bee goes missing for 50 years... Needless to say Bee won't be able to keep that promise.

We got even more sketches now that I've posted quite a few bits of colored drawings... Here we have catboy Shockbeeblurr, A ditched SG Shockbee comic that while I dont remember the dialogue for, I do still like the general look of and Shockbee with an injured Bumblebee, somewhat inspired by this fic. Though hopefully in the context of this drawing it ends better for them...

Here we got a bunch of various Radio sketches! I really love most of these but they need a bit of context...

First up we got a design for Radio refrencing a fic I wrote where Blurr is the one to raise Radio. So I obviously I ramped up the Blurr inspiration in her design, trying to keep it still Radio, but show the change in who her form was based off of, I really like how it came out! I think she looks wonderful <3

Then we have a really old Radio Angel sketch... It was actually the sketch I used to try out her modern color scheme before creating her ref.

Then we have mother Radio with Blurr JR. A character I haven’t talked a lot about but should-

Then lastly we have sketches for Radio’s autobot form. One day I’ll make a ref for it!... One day... But for now I still love these <3
