AU synopsis:

When a pair of siblings sneak out of their new home, it sets off a butterfly effect that will change the fate of two planets forever.

Earth had been ravaged by an alien civil war for forty long years—named Autobot-Decepticon War—waged by a race of robotic organism from planet Cybertron. It only ended after the destruction of the Spacebridge which stranded many Cybertronians on Earth. Despite the declaration of the war's end, fatal incidents related to it continue to rise around the globe.

Now, fifteen years later, siblings Robbie and Morgan Malto found a new Cybertronian species born from the earth itself akin to human toddlers. Something that wasn't known even for the long-lived Cybertronians. Determined to protect the newborns from the uncertainties of the post-war era, the Malto family takes them in as part of their own. But that was only the easy part.

The newborns are destined to bring a true end to the war. But first, they must discover their identities as individuals and as their own kind. Despite having endless support and protection around them, each are on their own to face the unkind world.

Thrash is painfully confused of his family's core moral, not yet understanding that there's a difference between being born in a group and choosing to be part of one.

In my AU, Swindle betraying Thrash's kindness shook him so bad, he became pessimistic towards (faction) Cybertronians until he's afraid of his own part techno nature. He wants to be human but keeps it a secret out of shame.

I traced the pose and silhouette from Dvalin's splash art. I think the Terrans would bleed green, like the glowing cave water.

And, yes, that is a literal baby.

Spitfire is slightly shorter than Twitch yet she has a denser build. Terratronus is a mountain, so I'd say she's bigger than she is in canon. To Earthlings, she's the biggest thing they've ever seen when she's actually one of the smallest Titan Transformers.

On a serious note, how/where do the Terrans get their colours from? None of them match the things they scanned.

+ lore dump

[I completely forgot about her 😭]

When the triplets were just born, Twitch dreamed that she met herself. Taller, awesome, and older. She asked her if she will be a good big sister. She didn't want to admit how scared she was to care for the only other Terrans besides herself and Thrash. Her older self replied,

"You will be a good big sister to all Terrans on Earth."

Before Twitch could ask her what she meant, she woke up.

Now that my finals are over, I will be sharing profiles of my Terran OCs for my Earthspark AU very soon. The OC taking the lead is the Wild Terran, Ice Mirror!

If there had been more Decepticons who defected since before the story, it'd give some validity, including Megatron's good guy position.

Now that all canon Terrans are complete, I will begin with my OC Terrans after my finals.

Aftermath's violet colour made him pretty cute and seemingly harmless if he doesn't have spikes.

Tracing AM's alt mode from his toy is easier than finding a good screenshot of it from the show.

If Mandroid were alive (which he is in the AU until end of Part 2), he'd be the Chaos Terrans' dad whether he likes it or not. I hate how AM and Spitfire are treated in canon, so I made that they gave themselves the moniker Chaos Terrans, not because the Maltos refer them as such for being "born evil".

I can't decide, they both feel the same to me.

Big baby boy Jawbreaker.... The most challenging Terran to draw, so I traced him. I changed that his alt mode beak is like a proper Pachy beak and that his tail stays in bipedal mode.

[REUPLOAD] Hashtag's base purple was a tad too bright in the deleted post. There are some adjustments with previous profiles as well.

Not only pickup truck Hashtag smooths her sharp edges and has nothing related with communication (let's ignore VAL), it made her look very ... human adult. Like IDW1 Windblade when she's drawn like a human woman in a bodysuit. It's uncomfortable to look at her. But the other worst thing about her S2 silhouette is her satellite dish ponytail being replaced with--what even is that--a metal stick?

Edit: Shoot, I forgot to change their height/weight.

I got lazy so I use the 'Shade drawing I already made months ago.

Alternative "Prime Time" where instead of meeting Quintus Prime in a weird psycho realm, the Terrans, Mo, Dot, and Mandroid awaken Terratronus.
