To be a King means to drown in the blood of your people.

To be a Soldier means to drown in the blood of your comrades.

And to be a Poet means to drown in your own blood.

I have done all three, my hands have never once been clean.

A little piece I made because I couldn’t get the imagery of Starscream standing in a pool of energon out of my head haha. I feel as though I could have done better tho so maybe I’ll redraw it again sometime in the future haha!

I posted this on my Twitter but forgot to post it here lol!

So here’s a late Warp Wednesday piece I made of our boi Skywarp! I’ll prolly try to post a few more things tomorrow after my driving lesson but here ya go!

Also sorry to those who followed me for my Eddsworld posts, I have burn out for that fandom at the moment and I’m currently in Transformers hard so please don’t be mad that my Eddsworld fics stopped updating QwQ

So Shattered Glass is a thing for Transformers, who doesn’t love a good old alternate universe where the bad guys are good and vice versa.

And the color pallets don’t need to be the same thing either! We get some nice different color schemes that fit the characters new personalities!

We got Starscream, his colors being swapped out for Sky/Jetfire’s colors very nice very nice! It’s also very fitting with his character, it’s simple and sleek just like him!

Next is Skywarp! Also very nice! It feels a lot like a slightly darker Thundercracker color scheme, it’s dark but not dark compared to his original design. I like it! Very nice!

Now what about Thundercracker? Surely after two banger designs, the third member of this iconic trine would get a color scheme as good as these tw-!

……. Thundercracker…. What have they done?

Seriously! The poor boy looks like they threw every gaudy color at him! It doesn’t even feel coherent! It’s how I would have colored an OC back when I was 5…

This boy needed some help, I ranted about this to both friends and family, how Thundercracker was robbed of a good color swap and also THEY KEPT HIS OPTICS RED!! Every other Decepticon with red optics had theirs changed to blue! And sure! The 2021 comic made his blue, but now his optics just blend into his blue face and every other promotional image I’ve seen of him he has red optics! Ughhhh

With this rant in my head refusing to let me sleep, I challenged myself. I drew Thundercracker twice. One version was that I kept the same colors as his current design and try to see if I could make it more appealing to my tastes, the second version was what I would have chosen if I had been in charge of Thundercracker’s SG coloration.

Keep in mind though, I had colored these in with copic markers, so the colors may not be accurate for the first version.

So yeah! That’s my take on SG! Thundercracker. I know that it’s a weird thing to get upset about, I just can’t stand poor Thundercracker being done dirty by such a gaudy color scheme. If you like his original color scheme for SG then more power to you! It was just not my cup of tea.
