DONT share this
It would be such a shame if someone reblogged this. Whoops my fingers slipped
ok.
HELLO, are we allowed to make ocs for that beautiful bug colony of yours?
Of course! There are a few worldbuilding elements that I need to talk about that'll help you flesh stuff out, so they'll come in their own posts, but for the TL;DR I'll give you base guidelines here:
- The ratio of bugformers to beastformers in Thalamhan is 12:1. The more common the bug, the more common the type of bugformer. All beastformers in Thalamhan are off of animals that you would find in the woods, the most common among that subset being animals that burrow.
- All Thalamites love sweet things. Their diet is a hyper-sweet form of energon, so normal cybertronian energon would be flat and basic to them. They can also eat and drink the fruits, nuts, and nectars that grow from the plants in the planet's flora-coated caverns. They would hate anything salty.
- Cloth is a status symbol, so the rarer the cloth you have, the wealthier you are. The same goes for jewelry, with aristocrats covering themselves in them. Ununtrium jewelry is the most valuable of all. Common Thalamites usually don't have either, though some can afford inexpensive items.
- Thalamhan has been isolated from the rest of the galaxy for so long that none of its citizens know what Cybertron or any of its colonies are. For all they know, they're the only cybertronian-esq species out there. Thalamites don't have access to space travel either, so no one has ever left the planet. (No one has been recorded, at least...)
- Most Thalamites are artists, writers, tailors, cooks, farmers, musicians, miners, smiths, and botanists, just to name a few. Upper-class jobs are more STEM-based: including scientists, engineers, astronomers, and doctors. There are more jobs than these, but these are the most common.
- Thalamhan's technology isn't as advanced as Cybertron's! Imagine old-fashioned computer systems and less automation. A regular Thalamite would have simple tech, retro to a normal Cybertronian. However, Thalamhan's military technology is comparable to Cybertron's, though still weaker. The one advantage they have is the planet's source of ununtrium, which sparingly coats their weapons.
- On the topic of weapons - guns and blasters don't exist in Thalamhan! Cannons do, but most weapons are exclusively blades and other medieval weapons. That technology might be on its way in the near future, however...
I could keep going, but I can answer any question you have if you want to ask something more specific. I encourage you to reach out to me if you're unsure if your idea fits with the worldbuilding! Thanks for being interested in making an oc for my world :DDD
wip of a redraw!

IT’S BACK
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS AGAIN FOR MONTHS
I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW
ITS BACK
This is one of those posts that you need to save and tag or you’ll never see it again for 84 years.
hey guys look…i found one of those iconic viral Tumblr posts
Popular opinion: at some point in your sad nerdy youth, you all had a Transformers OC that met some, if not all, of these:
- A femme.
- A bot that transformed into an animal.
- A bot who solely served to fuck a main character and “change them for the better.”
- A Decepticon.
- A Neutral bot who was formerly a ‘Con, or a neutral who had a “fuck the war” attitude.
- A Seeker (someone who could fly idek).
- A lovechild of some unrealistic tf ship, which oddly makes sense to a lot of people and you love wayyyy too much because archenemies are deliciously homoerotic
*cough* Megop *cough*
Extra points if you are still in fact encompassing your sad nerdy youth ;)
What if you were to combine Coldfront’s old drill tank mode and his current megaloceros mode?
reblog to save a liFE
Up to now, I have been drawing random generic suit jackets.
Never again.

I like how this is both art reference and a guide to more efficiently smite your enemies
Tumblr is nothing if not practical
