TRANSFORMERS with SUPERPOWERS

[@daneyal7162]

Considering the fact that Tarn is already visually very impressive, and has TWO cannons to fight with... the idea of him being able to kill other transformers with a literal whisper is... downright TERRIFYING.

[@gabrielagorgonzol6394]

He's an absolute unit, AND he can literally "UwU" you to death - a terrifying villain indeed.

[@daneyal7162]

@@gabrielagorgonzol6394 I think that what makes him even more terrifying is that, unlike many cases in life and in fiction, where your faith in ideals can be severely weakened if the one who taught them to you has abandoned them, like in the case of Tarn and Megatron's ideology, instead of abandoning the decepticon way, Tarn actually DOUBLES DOWN on it, and even telling Megatron, after the latter joined the autobots, that he wasn't worthy of this ideology, and that Tarn will carry it out better, or something like that. Tarn turned Megatron's decepticon ideology into his very existence, even when its creator abandoned it...nothing is more dangerous than a committed mind.

[@gabrielagorgonzol6394]

@@daneyal7162 yeah, I KNOW what you mean! Tarn is pretty scary and he's a very complex villain, one of my favourites within the Transformers universe actually. A lot of people seem to reduce him to just "haha he simps for Megatron and has no personality outside of that", and I'm glad to see people actually looking deeper into his character. Still, the idea that he could potentially just kill you by whispering "UwU" lives rent-free in my head...

[@minimalbstolerance8113]

Fun fact: In the late 1950s, the Russians tried to build a jet with the same super-powerful sonic boom ability as Thundercracker. It was called the Myasichev M-25, AKA "Theme 25." The idea was to take advantage of a loophole in international weapons treaties that said that flying over an enemy nation and making sonic booms wasn't an act of war, so they designed this jet to have the maximum possible power coupled with the maximum possible drag. They theorised that its sonic boom would be enough to blow down buildings and make people's heads explode from the pressure wave. The project never got off the drawing board due to a lack of powerful enough engines and indifference from Soviet high command.

[@3sellers3ful]

The US was also trying to make a propeller plane go supersonic, they scrapped the project when the tips of the propeller itself were continuously breaking the sound barrier giving the pilots a massive headache and possibly TBI

[@minimalbstolerance8113]

@@3sellers3ful The XF-84H "Thunderscreech." One of my favourite lines from any pilot came from its first test pilot, Lin Hendrix. After taking it up and realising how unstable it was due to the turbulence of the constant sonic booms from the prop, he refused to fly it again, telling the ground crew "You ain't big enough and there's not enough of you to get me back in that thing!"

Acid Storm, the introverted data analyst who could use his ability to generate vats of friggin acid to move his way up the ranks but prefers staying in relative obscurity. Nova Storm with her invulnerability as you mentioned. And Ion storm, who's a walking lightning storm! And the fact that all 3 can combine their powers to generate rain that melts friggin metal flesh

[@calvinstraveldreams]

0:49 Regarding Thundercracker and Skywarp's combat abilities (as well as those of Seeker team leader Starscream), my idea is to have each of the 3 Seekers have different outlier abilities that tie into their combat roles. Given that I prefer the Seekers to be SERIOUS threats in combat (with Cybertron/Galaxy Force Starscream being my favorite Starscream rendition), and that I think to make combat more interesting it helps if their abilities complement each other in combat (the 3 are designed to function BEST as a team), what I have in mind regarding their combat specializations is as follows: 1. Starscream---Close quarters/hand-to-hand combat, midrange combat, air superiority 2. Thundercracker---Long range combat and fire support, mixed air superiority and air-to-ground, possibly reconnaissance 3. Skywarp---Stealth, reconnaissance, infiltration, assassination, suppression of air defense To keep some connection to their G1 selves and OTHER incarnations of the characters as well as tailor the abilities to their combat roles, here is what I have in mind for outlier abilities... 1. Starscream---Can generate afterimages in his wake in both modes (similar to the F91 Gundam F91) in order to confuse enemies, can overclock his engines and joints to allow increased speed and strength, which he can do in both modes (this is possible because of how he dissipates heat and creates afterimages, again similar to the F91 Gundam F91 as well as the ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam), can create wind slashes with his swords and use the wind to effectively make his blades sharper and able to cut more effectively (this appears briefly in Transformers Cybertron episode 23 (Trap))...later gains the ability to turn his afterimages into SOLID CLONES and even upscale them (similar to a Stand from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or Susano'o from Naruto)... 2. Thundercracker---Can create controlled sonic booms audible for up to 200 miles of distance (can be amplified by Cyber Keys and/or Mini-Cons), and use other sonic attacks to disorient, demoralize, and confuse enemies within vicinity (and later with Cyber Key amps he can use these attacks to physically damage and even destroy enemies). This is especially powerful underwater (given that water cannot be compressed), and can even work in outer space due to Thundercracker using solar wind and/or energon to transmit the sound. Can also amplify the destructive power of his missiles using seismic energy (which basically turns his handheld grenade launcher and (later) Cyber Key-activated dual missile launchers into weapons with NUCLEAR BOMB LEVEL destructive power, especially when amped by a Cyber Key or Mini-Con)... 3. Skywarp---Can teleport his entire body or even parts of it near-instantly, as well teleport and swap places with other Decepticons and phase through solid objects, and has certain weapons (chiefly a pair of ZGMF-600 GuAIZ-style extensional arrestors mounted in his shoulder air intake pylons, as well as the heatseeking bolts from his handheld energon crossbow and later Cyber Key-activated heatseeking lancer dart launchers) that are able to phase through the armor on enemies as well as interfere with their ability to regenerate, effectively ignoring enemy durability altogether and allowing him to counter the normally hax durability and regeneration abilities of Autobot Matrix of Leadership users (the lancer darts could theoretically KILL Optimus Prime instantly)...

[@calvinstraveldreams]

Also, my idea is that while in terms of the basic design the 3 Seekers are mostly the same, there should also be differences, chiefly in the shoulder-mounted air intakes (as a nod to the stickers on the G1 toys) as well as in the wrist-mounted weapons (the wrist gauntlets and null ray pods also contain energy shield emitters), handheld weapons, and (later) Cyber Key-activated weapons (all of them are later upgraded to heavily resemble Cybertron Starscream, and to a large extent the Maketoys Galaxy Meteor/Lightning/Skycrow version)...they are as follows: 1. Starscream: Shoulder pylons: 2 x 3-tube cluster missile launchers Handheld: 1 x fusion blaster, 2 x energon swords (can combine all handheld weapons together to create energon naginata) Wrist Gauntlets: 2 x small null beam cannons (1 per gauntlet), 2 x energon claw knives (1 per gauntlet) (Cyber Key-activated) Null ray pods: 2 x heavy energon swords (1 per pod) (Note: Starscream also later gains the ability to generate energon swords with his toes by slightly untransforming them back into vehicle mode and turning his feet pointy (and angling the points upward similarly to the toes of the GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam-this can be done on the toys of Cybertron Starscream, including on Maketoys Galaxy Meteor. Also, Starscream can partially transform into a GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam-esque “flying claw” form) 2. Thundercracker: Shoulder pylons: 2 x micromissile launchers Handheld: 1 x seismic grenade launcher with scope, 2 x energon swords Wrist Gauntlets: 4 x missile tubes (2 per gauntlet) (Cyber Key-activated) Null ray pods: 2 x energon heavy rocket launchers (1 per pod) 3. Skywarp: Shoulder pylons: 2 x extensional arrestor/cable claw launchers Handheld: 1 x energon crossbow, 2 x energon swords Wrist Gauntlets: 2 x limpet mine launchers (1 per gauntlet) (Cyber Key-activated) Null ray pods: 6 x energon heatseeking lancer darts (3 per pod)
