I CANNOT EVEN EXPRESS HOW FUNNY I FOUND THIS

okay cutting out the capslock here because it threatens to take over my whole comment - I love anything related to Soundwave and the Cassettes and this is SO FUCKING CUTE and they are retardulously in-character. Oh god I just noticed Soundwave's little heart right before he pulls the string. dhgjkfdhgs.

p.s. your art is so expressive!! I love how scribbly and fluid their bodies are D: *envyyy*

My personal favourite Soundwave is the one first one hiding in the crystal...bush...things. Such evilly delighted anticipation. That, or the one right after he's pulled the stick out, hunched over and waiting in triumph. (Dude is so fun to make expressive).

Oh you silly. I gratefully accept your compliment, but did you know it was you who helped get me off my butt and finishing? I was really overthinking doing these, and sucking the fun out of it for myself. And then you kept posting your Saturday requests, and you'd do all these lovely things in one night. Sure, they're simple, but you get each character spot on and identifiable without doing every little button and screw on their bodies. I like that alot, and they were so cute and they had flow.

Then I realised that's how I usually doodle. And that I should just do that. And lo', it became fun, and it not easy, enjoyable.

So thank you for putting the fire back in me!

Ohmigod sooooo cute. That was worth waiting several months for! Silly twins are so silly! Stop hogging the high grade! I'M IN A TRAP YOU MORON. Hee hee.

I would point out that most people accept that Rumble's the blue one, but I looked it up on wikipedia and it seems there's a lot of confusion and canon inconsistency (Transformers! Inconsistency! Sure you jest!) about which twin is what color. Oni-Gil goes with the idea that they switch their paint colors every now and then just to confuse everybody else. Personally doesn't bother me; the comic's adorable no matter what.

My favorite part has gotta be the panel with Soundwave and his little <3 in the background. If he were vocal about it, it'd be something along the lines of: "This pair, adequate." But inside, he's all: 'cute! I want I want I want ( ... )

I'm super happy you enjoyed this! I want to eventually make something for all the fic-masters I like. I'm enjoying your massive work for free, why shouldn't I do something reciprocal?

On the note of FIR, RIB, or in my case, RIR, FIB - I thought long and hard about what colours to make them, and almost didn't either name them or colour it. I knew about the dilema, when I started reading TFwiki. I was tiny in the 80s, so IDW's All Hail Megatron was my big reintroduction to space robots. And in that, Rumble is red. I also read that he was intended to be the red one at first, but it got muddled in the show, so Hasbro just ran with it. My final reason; alliteration is my homeboy. Rumble is red. And that's probably my biggest reason too.

cute! I want I want I want!

This just in: Soundwave may project a manly mech exterior, with little emotion and rigid values, but inside? Inside he just wants to squeal and love tiny things like a school girl.

Is there more?Kinda. But there's some other stuff first, and then I'm in my last year at ( ... )

Ah yes, Rumble is Red. Does make more sense. That might have saved me a headache if I'd known that mnemonic device before I started These Games. (And also, not forgotten Ratbat. Trivial details, and all ( ... )

Yup, that's how I do it. Rumble is Red and Frenzy is the colour of Forget-me-nots. And I wouldn't worry about Ratbat. Perhaps, in your continuity, he was never aquired, and that led to eventual autobot defeat through some chaos theory or other.

If you want to learn to draw robits, just practice. Anyone can draw, though some people are naturally more skilled. Its all about exercising that part of your brain.

When I have time to sit down and do it, things like this don't take me longer than a few hours. The problem was, I had no time, at all this summer. I got it done this week as me-time.

Icons and posting pic

Go ahead on both of those, I'm cool with it and trust you. Can't wait to see the userpic. :D Triple flattery! I'm curious as to how you're utilizing it.

Awwww, that was adorable! This is why I can't take the twins seriously in the cartoon (okay, I can't take anyone seriously in the cartoon, but especially the twins). They just make me go Aww! Cute!

Yes. they are. xD
Rumble is maybe a couple inches taller than Spike.
(They're so adorable! Have you read Megatron Origins? They're so cute in it. They made me squee every time they were in a panel.)

No, I haven't, but I hope to buy it from Amazon when I've paid off tuition/deserve a treat. <3 Rumble and Frenzy are my main reasons for wanting it.

Adorable- until you have to live with them. Soundwave is going to have to lay down some heavy laws when he's done internally squealing.

(Damn it peacewish, cannot unsee!)

Glad you enjoyed it. BTW, totally enjoying that picture request thing you and Humblebot have shooting back and forth on the meme.

Oh don't worry about that! School just started for a lot of people, and who knows what's going on in other people's lives.
