my favourite transformers character is the giant floating robot shark who is also an anti-war slam poet

Hey, it’s Sky-Byte the haiku shark!

Deep within Sky-Byte beats the spark of a poet, a scholar, a brilliant and cultured military general who can command armies capable of conquering worlds. But without aptitude and patience, that means jack squat, and Sky-Byte lacks both. Still, he soldiers on, for he is driven…by a desperate need for approval. He needs the blessings of his commander, Megatron, quite possibly more than he needs energon. And Megatron, being Megatron, doesn’t dole out praise much, so Sky-Byte tries harder and harder, getting more and more desperate.– TF Wiki

so I was laying in bed the other night and thinking hard about cybertronian dance clubs and how would they dance if it’s crowded and they’ve got kibble getting in the way – wings, door wings, what have you.
So imagine: easily removable kibble that’s left in like a coat check area. cubbies full of wings and doorwings and wheels and random parts. Bots getting drunk and switching coatcheck tickets and waking up with someone else’s kibble

In this photo, the bird’s wing acts as a diffraction grating—a surface structure with a repeating pattern of ridges or slits. The structure causes the incoming light rays to spread out, bend and split into spectral colors, producing this shimmering rainbow effect. By

Field play concept for bots with delicate wings.

Field play headcanons: Or, what happens when you talk to three engineers while writing an erotic scene.

  • Cybertronians have EM sensors, for direct pleasure under EM waves. Think kisses, warm touches, or tickling for a human – except by waves.
  • But wait, there’s more! Cybertronians are metal, so their bodies can have molecular resonances with waves. Think that feeling of rock bass in your stomach, but much stronger. Like foil sparking in a microwave. Each spark from a jolt of pleasure.
  • Now for sweet complexity. Imagine two Seekers making one another’s sensitive wings resonate with two waves. And then there’s wave interference. If they are clever, they can make secondary wavelets from the interference resonate with, say, their spikes.

  • Now imagine a Cybertronian with very delicate wings, like that bird in the picture. Imagine his partner sending an EM wave at these wings. The wings diffract the wave. It spreads into a multitude of frequencies. Enough that each strut, piece of armor, every tiny wire now has a resonant frequency coming its way. As if each part of a mech is caressed perfectly, from within. Imagine how that feels in berth!

Nnnnn, @12drakon All of that what you typed. Yeesssss.

@jarofloosescrews – I’ve been thinking, how would you draw EM fields? We can use light or surface analogies, or wave-shapes when the context is established, like a physic textbook. But in a stand-alone picture, but how can we show it’s really an invisible wave?

@12drakon Hm, I can see it as like a malleable bubble, something that refracts the outside borders like the mirage effect, maybe even for aesthetic purposes the bubble might be tinted with faint colors, conveying mood. Subtle textures even? Everything just shy of invisible but not.
