Tarantulus is easily the creepiest transforographagizer, but it’s not because he’s a spider – it’s because he’s a serial killer with a ton of fucked up kinks who he drags other people into regardless of consent.
Frankly, being an adorable purple tarantula is his one redeeming quality.
That and his cool pincer handies.
As I’ve said before:
Tarantulas is the creepy furry.
Tigratron is the cool furry.
Interesting how the Fuzors,Quickstrike and Silverbolt were the only ones to not treat Rampage as simply a monster or tool.
To Silverbolt Rampage was just another villain, a particular foul one but still a person with feelings.
Quickstrike meanwhile, while never shown socially interacting with Rampage, spoke of him as a comrade when he arrived to rescue him from Depth Charge.
edit: Actually in a weird way, Depth Charge also treated him as a person, didn’t he?
Quickstrike somehow manages to start showing some leadership ability due to some butterfly effect in this AU , but Megatron also knows that Quickstrike would quickly abuse any power over others or just so annoying that the others would ensure he died in a “freak accident.’
Megatron always had an unexplained hatred of Quickstrike in the show, but also has to admit Inferno has been causing splash damage lately and another on/off commander for some tasks could be useful
The solution is to put him in charge of non-sparked drones built by Tarantulas in one of his failed power plays.
Unexpectedly Quickstrike shows no abusive behavior to these newly built drones, seemingly adopting a mentor or teacher-like role to his yes-man kill squad.
Which disgusts Megatron because he’s a disgusting person with issues.
Introducing:
Stabby: A remold of Quickstrike into an actual scorpion with stinger replacing the scorpion but more naturalistic colors so as to tell them apart.
Li’l’ Death: Repaint of Cohrada in quickstrke’s colors. Remolded head to look more like a killing machine. Actually bigger than Quickstrike.
Its considered normal for young bots to have crushes on members of organic sapients, though they are usually celebrities or fictional characters rather than personal aquaintences.
Most organics species methods of intimacy can come off as less scary and intimidating than the cybertronian methods to such youth.
However, its also seen as something to “grow out of” and those that don’t are considered “creepy” or “immature”.
Really nagged at me that I had left this 3D model unfinished on my hard drive for approximately four years. Decided to patch it up into a semi-presentable state.
Saw this around and thought checked if it was also on the creator’s tumblr
I love Laios from Delicious in Dungeon, because he looks like an extremely boring Human Knight Man but he’s actually a giant goddamn biology nerd who gets excited about discovering a new species of mollusc and thinks giant murderous plants and hermit crabs are cute
This is not a counterpoint it’s an addition
Ye gods, he’s like the good-aligned version of Tarantulas
edit: I got to this chapter and I feel bad now, because this fascination with the edibility of armor seems to be a reaction to trauma.
