Quick headcanon about the cybertronian language

So, in season 4 ep 11 Blades keeps insisting that the plural of the word "moose" should be "meese" or "meeses", even though he's proven wrong by Francene's Alexa-type thing she has on her phone.

This made me think. What if almost every word in modern cybertronian has a plural form?

So I came up with this symbol (why in hell is the image file so large???)

This symbol roughly signifies "many" or "lots of" and is added at the end of the word if you desire to make a plural form of it, also changing the pronunciation.

This is what made blades so confused. All words in cybertronian have a different sounding plural form.

All except for one word

The word for "transformer"

A description for their kind

Because all are one

Silly little introduction to my silly little RB au

Cody's mom's name is Lena Burns btw. She's also german. The cybertronian next to her is Snowstorm (oc)

Nova/Novocaine is also one of my ocs. I'll tell more in a future post eventually

Bonus:

Quickshadow's eye splotches are so damn precious

I've been rewatching rescue bots lately and I am honestly surprised by the lack of Quickshadow content. She hits all the popular character boxes to me, but she wasn't as effective as Blades for example.

Side note, I feel like Quickshadow was meant to be Cody's bot partner in the end, but it wasn't simply said directly. Or maybe it's just my gut feel idk

My brain in the middle of the night: but what if Heatwave started caring about Cody because he reminded him of his own mentee (child)?

He is also shown to be very good with kids in rescue bots academy, as he probably has experience mentoring young cybertronians.

And then I draw stuff like this

Heatwave family portrait is kinda weird but also kinda sweet

I do have full oc ideas for the child and the husband but I need more time to lay it all out.

Sorry if the image looks grainy, I scanned most of it from my scetchbook so :p

And don't ask me how position of Heatwave's arms is physically possible, because it isn't.

You know what day it is?

Not Saturday

It's a predacon baby day again!!!!!

So, meet Symmetry.

She was found in a giant slab of strange ice right in the middle of summer. Nobody still knows for how long the ice was on Griffin Rock, because instead of melting and turning into water, this ice turned into a weird slimey substance that provided thermal insulation, preventing the ice underneath from further melting.

This beautiful creature is flightless and truly fluffy. This particular kind of griffin evolved floofy parts to blend in with the background of giant dandelion fields better. This floof is made of really tiny stripes of metal, just like fur in earth animals.

These griffins are also really really tiny. Their maximum size is 12 feet, but this is already a rare case.

They also evolved asymmetrical beaks because of their diet (i took this feature from crossbill birds). Symmetry's favourite foods are walnuts, lesser rainbow scraplets and giant dandelion sprouts. Yes, unlike Waffle, she is not fully carnivorous!

She is also perfectly adapted to digesting biomass and turning it into energy.

It appears that griffins actually lived in Griffin Rock at some point in time, and then just disappeared in an instant. And they definitely were on earth for an amazingly long period of time, evolving and building their bodies to better match the earth nature.

Right after waking up from her stasis in doc Greene's lab she started exploring. She looked out of the windows, grabbed everything she can grab and pushing every button she can push.

Strangely enough, she wasn't surprised to see humans at all. She just said hello to Frankie in a body language and than ignored her existence for the rest of the day.

But her reaction to bots was a lot different. She stood up on her back legs and started showering bots with sparkly fire from her throat. Now she avoids bots at all costs, and even after learning how to communicate with sign language, she still wouldn't tell why.

But despite her strange behaviour, everybody accepts her as a part of Greene family. Symmetry is a very close friend to Frankie.

Symmetry will cuddle Frankie every night, because this is the model of behaviour she picked up from other grownup griffins she used to know.

But Symmetry definitely put a mystery of Griffin Rock griffins on the "need to solve" list.
