Idw Ratchet - Blog Posts

Ratchet in a suit won the poll! Also @gaysidesalad suggested megatron x ratchet, so how could i resist such a cool pair?

I did the idw designs bc they look super cool, sorry if the proportions are off, i tried mapping out the kibble best i could :,)

also: i’ll probably be doing the other suggestions bc you guys blessed me with such creative ideas! I just wanted to do this one first :)

Textless version below:

(Ratchet in a suit-vest will be the DEATH of me)

Made more transformers OCs :)

Slight NSFW warning??

INTRODUCING RAVE AND NOVA

Like most of my settings, these two are from the IDW/MTMTE continuity. They are former decepticons who defected before the War was over (more info. will be disclosed later :D). Post War and they’re just trying to live a peaceful life, but that’s kind’ve hard when you ended up on the DJD’s list. Also, they are conjux ❤️

Individual Information

Rave:

pronouns he/him

worked in Communications before he defected

his age is equivalent to early 30s

he turns into a boombox (specifically the ION Audio Party Rocker Go HighPower Boombox Portable Speaker with Party Starter Lights Black iSP147)

he is 20 feet tall

he weighs 3,700 lbs

he will eat anything placed in front of him

he has pica, which is where one craves/chews substances with no nutritional value

despite his alt being a boombox, Rave is not that loud of a mech (he does have his moments)

also, despite being in Communications, he as social anxiety (he will persevere through it when the situation calls for it)

he took longer to convince to defecting from the ‘cons

^^despite this, he came up with the escape plan

he’s allergic to oil

dyslexic

the little spoon

^^but not the bottom *winky face*

fears ducks

he cooks like a white woman

Nova:

pronouns he/him

worked in SpecOps before defecting

his age is equivalent to early 30s

turns into a camera (specifically the Sony Alpha A6100)

he is 17 feet tall

he weighs 2,400 lbs

the more sensible of the two (he has his moments)

had to stop Rave from eating napkins once

the big spoon

^^NOT the top (another winky face)

also has social anxiety

^^also persevered through it when the situation required it

came up with the idea of defecting

he believed in the original cause of the decepticons, but as the War stretched on, he saw how they strayed from their original motivations and grew some major doubts

reads to Rave

fears needles

caught KOBD interfacing once

actually banned from the kitchen

cooks like a Victorian child discovering technology for the first time

More Information

the reason they defected was because they found out Nova was sparked

*in my AU, one does not get pregnant, rather when two (or more) mechs merge their sparks there is a 5% chance of getting sparked; mechs can also merge with the intent to create, and that raises the chance of a sparkling from 5% to 86%*

Rave initially wanted to name their child after Megatron, but Nova would not hear him out

^^they were then gonna name them Night Beat, only to discover that there was already a mech with that name

^^^they decided on the name Dead Beat, which they based on how they now viewed the current decepticon cause

Dead Beat is a femme

Rave and Nova are the best parents, although they do have dubious teaching skills

this little family does end up on the Lost Light

^^they had a really close call with the DJD which resulted in Rave getting badly injured

^^^once he was sure the DJD were no longer nearby Nova sent out a distress beacon, which was picked up by the Lost Light (who else lmao)

^^^^they were found and allowed aboard the ship; Rave was taken to the Medbay due to his injuries while Nova was taken to the brig out of precaution due to his intentions being unknown

^^^^^Nova had hidden Dead Beat under his armor when the ship initially touched down so no one knew there was a sparkling; when a member of the Lost Light’s high command came to check on their newest brig member, they were greeted with the sight of Nova having somehow equipped blankets guarding his kid, whom was asleep on his chassis

^^^^^^they were promptly taken to the Medbay where they got yelled at by Ratchet

When your dead old friend comes back as a child who should wear a shirt that says GOD WON'T LET ME DIE at this point

Old friends

I think they're neat :D

A comic screenshot and my rambling about them below

Considering the fact Optimus told Ratchet privately about the matrix and how he feels..I think the trust between them is quite strong

Of course there's Optimus doing questionable things and Ratchet leaving to go into a spaceship cause he feels nothing is left for him on Cybertron

but Ratchet was one of the few who Optimus told about his worries freely and Ratchet caring about him in turn despite Optimus's mental state going through a lot of things as the series continued

I'll like to see them being reunited in the Allspark in the end and talking about the adventures each of them had

Maybe Ratchet will tell Optimus about Drift

He will be happy for him

Beacuse his old friend deserves love and happiness

(Likewise for Optimus but I think he's too tired or not in the good mental state to try love)(doesn't mean I don't appreciate the ships tho)

Heard you had tf drawing requests open anddd I’d love love love to see ratchet or drift in your style! :>

OKAY I FINALY GOT TO REQUESTS

I love them so much actually, I need to draw them more (gladly, there are more than one requests for dratchets in my ask box lol)

Your boys, @metalgy1
