The Hungarian Big Wind firefighting vehicle, a T-34 chassis equipped with two MiG-21 engines, designed to extinguish oil and gas well fires by blasting a constant mist of water to the base of the fire, where the water is injected behind the exhaust of the turbine in large quantities.
The engines, two Tumansky R-25 afterburning turbojets, can deliver 12,000 kg (27,000 lbs) of thrust each, which coupled with the 30,000 liters (8,000 gallons) of water a minute the 6 fire hoses can deliver, end up creating a supersonic cloud of spray that can reach speeds of 1,240 kph (770mph).
this thing would be a totally bitchin transformer! alternatively, it’s blitzwing if he totally failed at being a triple changer
It’s something Megatron would reformat Starscream into if he annoyed him too much. 😛
AU where Heatwave gets stuck with the Matrix of Leadership.
Tag: cool!
i’m gonna get to the requests some day, i swear, but all my hands would let me draw today, for some reason, is this??? so: have roman-gladiator inspired blurr
Random Fun Facts about Aligned (meaning WFC/FOC, TFP, Rescue Bots, RID2015, etc) Part 1
– Optimus was one of the original 13 primes but chose to be reborn with the new bots they created
– Megatronus was generally a Good Dude, even if he was technically closest to Unicron in nature, and he killed Solus Prime in self defense during a fight that they were manipulated into by Liege Maximo
– Megatronus became the Fallen by choice in honor of the friends he lost, and then swore to go around the universe protecting other species
– Optimus is older than Predaking by at least a few days
– The original Predacons were wiped out during a massive… solar events of sorts caused by a passing star that made their solar system go haywire. They were either too big or too proud to hide deep underground and go into stasis like the smaller bots, and thus didn’t survive
– Reflector and Preceptor created the first star map together
– the Quintessons showed up and kicked the Cybertronians’ evolution of knowledge into high speed, but as a result they created a caste system with bots most useful to the Quintessons at the top, and bots stopped caring to greet and name newly born sparks from the well
– Sentinel Zeta was elected as Prime during Quintesson rule in a very clearly not rigged election– the Quintessons were too proud and too confident to even bother to rig it
– Sentinel Zeta Prime eventually gathered together a secret task force full of scientists and sneaky bots and discreetly overthrew the Quintessons and kicked them out, but then didn’t bother to fix the caste system or really any major political problems beyond the invaders
– all of the bots in Aligned are genderless, they used to use only one pronoun before they started interacting with gendered foreign species and found adopting gendered language allowed them to better relate
– the easiest way to split themselves into 2 groups was by processor type– bots that were created in the image of Solus Prime had processors like her, meant for complex and abstract problem solving. Since she was only one of 13 primes, the gender division is 12:1
– there was a prewar bot named Cogwheel who was an Arachnicon like Airachnid, but she was a medic who trained Ratchet and used her many thin limbs for precision surgery and her webbing as bandages
– Alpha Trion describes himself as not understanding the point of romance, when close companionship seems more beneficial and less complex. Basically he’s aromantic
– Megatron’s first memory was watching a sunset alone right after he was born from the well, with the knowledge that he was going to immediately go into the mines afterwards and most likely never see the sky again (and then vowed to not accept such a fate)
– Combiners, when combined, are referred to by it/itself pronouns
– Alpha Trion has the world’s biggest hate boner against Shockwave and will routinely go out of his way to insult Shockwave whenever he’s brought up in conversation (and sometimes when he isn’t)
– The vast majority of bots right before the war were Majorly Racist towards minicons, thinking them untrustworthy, creepy, and suspicious. Both Megatron and Optimus shared this feeling towards minicons, ironically enough
