@darks-lair

call me Darksteel! ukr/eng; artist; she/her; dni: russians, homophobes, transphobes, israel supporters, MAPs etc.;

Uuuh so the next comic for my Dr Morocco lore will take a while because I currently have a lot on my plate (vacation ended ;-;), so in the meantime, have some (not)Dino Blades! (That I made back in early 2025)

I honestly don't know if I will actually make his dino mode an ancient reptile like in the show. I might just make him scan a cybertronian animal with a similar appearance. But, for now, here's one more Blades doodle for my Blades doodle pile.

I'm sorry, mate. All those rescue bots have long been turned into pickle jars by dr Morocco.

With the new year, comes new rescue Bots Lore!(And a little Boulder redesign)

So, here's a little preview of what Dr Morocco has been up to in my AU. Capturing all the bots he can get his hands on and storing them all in stasis. Why?

Well, that's a question for the upcoming post, explaining his whereabouts and various motivations.

For now, happy new years everyone!

Also, almost every bot in the stasis pods is unique. And if I had to suffer drawing like, 50 unique bots, so do ya'll. Two of the bots you can completely see are the same. I dare ya'll to find this pair of twins. (But any bot who you can't clearly see (like in the 2 blurred rows towards the bottom), or if any of their parts are cut off by the image cropping, they're disqualified because I honestly lost track of those while drawing so I don't know if there are any identical ones there ;-;)

Have fun!

Those two? Top left and bottom right?

Correct!! There they are!!

There are no words that can describe how much I love Starscream and Jetfire.

I drew this little piece to just appreciate these two lovebirds. They are 100% together in my transformers universe. There are no other options.

Also this helped me really start designing seekers. I definetly want most of them, if not all of them to have these long unicorn-like horns. Just makes them look so whimsical and elegant.

But because Jetfire is quite a big guy, I imagine he bumps his on any and every wall and ceiling he encounters. Hence the slow destruction of his horn. It would have probably been long gone if it wasn't for his boyfriend constantly restoring it with special metal modeling clay. But, I'm getting carried away.

I'd rather share my ideas with lil doodles a bit later.

And also, happy holidays everyone!

Presenting: Servo!

I redesigned him to look more like a combination of a dog, a seal and a rescue jet ski for my AU. Also changed his story up a bit

Servo is a fully sentient minicon that worked alongside High Tide (more on him later) pretty much from the very beginning. At first he communicates with the bots and all the humans just fine, untill Boulder has his unfortunate training incident, that is when his universal translator breaks.

It doesn't give out completely, however: it still translates everything that is being said to him perfectly fine but fails to make his voice cords produce sounds needed for any human or cybertronian languages. He himself is now only speaking his native language (It is important to note that it sounds differently than the noises he makes in the show, in all phases)

And the Burns try their best to try and learn it.

Servo can also play flute! Well the Luna-1 equivalent of a flute.

I'm with you abt how Liege got defeated in ES - what was the significance about the horns? Were they, like, stabilizing his chest-storage void? It's the only explanation I could think of, especially given the implication he was the Fallen in ES, not Megatronus. It made me think he got involved in some Unicron shenanigans that just went unaddressed (like how he died via divine castigation??? Reduced to atoms???? That was crazy)

Yeah I think the best explanation that the Mercy server came up with was that his horns were keeping him out of the black hole that he was banished to by the other primes (somehow??). But we literally get no official explanation for what actually happened.

Anyway, enjoy this stupid little doodle of him being sucked back to hell. Just as stupid as his defeat was.

But on a different note, how in hell did the Maltos guess that his horns were even significant in the first place? Liege was never shown to be overprotective of them. I personally would only consider cutting off his horns to create a short distraction at most.

In my mind since it was heavily implied he was the Fallen, it made me think he had some deal going w Unicron (since the og iteration of the Fallen had some deal w Unicron), maybe in exchange for more power to kill the Primes & take their artifacts, especially since the distortion that would've allowed him to store the whole ass Requiem Blaster in his chest hole might not have been smth he always had. Maybe the horns were stabilizing that distortion in some way to prevent it from imploding him like we saw; from a personal headcanon standpoint, if sparks are like stars then perhaps antisparks are like black holes & have countermeasures to prevent them from destroying their host - in my head, Liege's countermeasures were disrupted (when his horns got cut off) & his Fallen antispark (that was also being used to distort his storage space) just ate his body. Ik there's lore to the concept of subspaces but I'm not wholly familiar w it, alas.

As for how the Maltos figured out his horns had any significance, I think they saw how the lights on them flickered & how Liege reacted when they were hit & assumed they had *some* significance - maybe not that he'd be destroyed, but that it would at least give them the upper hand. The castigation was probably out of the blue for them, too

I actually love the explanation that you have created. It makes so much more sense than anything Hasbro did since season 2.

So. Earthspark finale, eh? And it had Liege Maximo as the main villain.

Long story short, even though I have an unbreakable love for all the firstforged Primes, especially Liege, I did not like this version of him.

I will make a longer post about what I would have done differently, but, for now, I'll just start with doing a little redesign.

(despite the fact that I have watched absolutely nothing from Marvel besides the Loki series, I still can't get past the fact that this Liege looks like Voltron of all things. It's so distracting)

Thank you so much @sizzlingcomputerpoetry for suggesting that Liege can use his horns just like Rey Dau from Monster Hunter can. I love it.

Also the way Liege got defeated is just straight up nonsensical like wtf even happened???? What was that???
