Getaway - Blog Posts

help i cant stop drawing these 😭

Same anon from the 1st ask WOAH- What draws you to Getaway! Or Blurr! Even Ratchet! 👀

Share to the class! (I'd fr actually read an essay about them so)

WOAH! SAME ANON!

Blurr and Ratchet are relatively self-explanatory and simple to explain, so they'll go first. Blurr? Generally, his character is pretty interesting, and I'm curious to find out more as I go. AUs that include Blurr have always been pretty damn clever and interesting to see, too. Also, funny blue guy goes speed, haha. Ratchet? I've never seen a continuity of him that isn't comically amusing, even if unintentional. Snarky old man is just really funny to me, and I like that about him. Poor guy can't catch a break.

Getaway?

(cracks knuckles)

The more I read and discover about Getaway, the more intrigued about the guy I get. A lot of people seem to dull him down, which sucks because his character honestly gets better the deeper you dive into it.

Regrettably I'm not the most informed on the Transformers universe, nor have I even read the MTMTE and Lost Light comics yet, but I have definitely read a lot of theory posts, deep dives, and even watched a fair share of videos talking about him as a character.

He's one of the characters you can't help but like, even if he's an absolute trash of a prick. To me, the best way to summarise him is that he's a guy with the right intentions, with the wrong way of going about it. I can definitely find myself emphasising and relating to him as a character because he DOES have valid feelings and concerns that honestly would have proved a point if only the way he went around it wasn't so harmful and malicious.

With a lot of characters in the franchise– especially these comics– it gets pretty difficult to discern their character as black and white. While they do their fair share of honourable actions, they have a tendency to have poor means of action. Not every action comes without its consequences or harm to others in some way, shape, or form.

He's flawed in his mentality and beliefs, and to me, that's what makes him a good character. He's made valid points and concerns at points in time, yet his execution of actions regarding his beliefs is so... horrible. I emphasise with his character, but I also don't condone nor appreciate any of his actions.

There's SO much more to his character that I'll probably end up rambling about later on at some point once I've gotten around to properly reading the comics for myself, but as a character Getaway is just so fascinating to me. Also, his colour scheme is awesome. Have I mentioned that yet? His design is really appealing and nice. Like, look at that pathetic banana of a mech. He looks like a rotting banana.

Anyway, I'll stop here before I end up leaving a massive textwall on my blog, haha.

That being said, as much as I absolutely love his character, I wouldn't hesitate to beat him over the head with seventy slabs of concrete.

Oh my GOD, OH MY GOD.

CORVUS, YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN!

You guys ever think about IDW Getaway? Ok now do you think of him with red optics and probably with a scarred face under that mask?

Yeah, I do too-
