Finished this little darling on a stream! šŸ˜€

Info under cut

Bedlam fell through the rift with Cyclonus and Cyclotron too, however, she was just a mere newspark and ended up far, far away from them both.
Too fresh, soft and new to survive Bedlam’sĀ ā€˜rescue’ came in the form of wildlife, in particular aĀ non-terrestrial species of strange bird.

Life saved, Bedlam had to pick up whatever she could from them or her own basic programming showing her to transform on instinctual code alone.
Despite this new ability she still couldn’t fly very well, unable to break free of a planet’s atmosphere or remain too high for long.
This lack of flight capability left her to essentiallyĀ ā€˜adopt’ one of the Birds as a kind ofĀ ā€˜smart pet/steed’ prompting her to end up breaking from the main flock and heading off on her own, with no one but the bird for company for a long, long time.

Eventually she came to Earth, riding her steed down and curiously playing around in a scrap yard until a particular Decepticon triple-changer found her and brought her back to the base albeit she did not come willingly and sank her dental units into Blitzwings arm, clawing everything she could reach.
Luckily for her certain other horned mecha had ended up on Earth at the same time and old baseline instinctual code booted up again and she ran to the arms she recognized from so, so long ago but not before laying some feral smack-down on others present.

Extra:

  • She is classed as a twin however she wasĀ ā€˜carried’ by Galvatron and her twinĀ ā€˜carried’ by Cyclonus but it was at the same time.
  • Before leaving Earth she managed to rip off Blitzwings arm and give him the run around before dropping it and jumped Megatron clawing his face up.
  • She didn’t know how to speak when she was tearfully reunited with the little family she had at that time but picked up the basics fairly quickly. She is no wordsmith and probably never will be, preferring to communicate via grunts, hisses and growls.
  • Her way of displaying affection (or generally wanting attention) is to bite people. Hard. Surprisingly, this isn’t appreciated by most people.
  • Has a bad habit of hunting critters and leaving half-chewed carcasses around, particularly for people she likes.
  • When she’s reunited with the rest of her family including her carrier, Galvatron names her pet/companionĀ ā€œABBAā€ which stemmed from the shortening of it’s ā€˜common’ nameĀ ā€œA.B.Aā€.
  • Gets on pretty dang well with herĀ ā€˜Uncle’ Scourge.
  • If she finds something she deems precious or in need of protecting she will stash it away in a small, dark, hard-to-find place.
  • Yes, she will walk on all fours and carry things in her mouth if the mood so takes her.
  • She technically never got named but became ‘Bedlam’ after she, well, caused bedlam at a Decepticon base and it seemed fitting for a little wild spark like her.

why are you obsessed with Galvatron? not a criticism, just a question. like is it just his thighs, or what.

He’s a really great, fantastic character and it sucks seeing him get stripped of personality until he’s a ā€œ2D angry pisslordā€ with less characterization than a Micheal Bay film.

So I kinda ended up taking my love for him to high levels and he’s pretty much the majority of what I draw when it comes to tf as I do my best to try and remind the fandom he’s a real neat bean with fantastic possibilities!.

His thighs are a god damn amazing bonus.

Man it’d be fucking COOL BEANS if the fandom took note of this scene FAR MORE.

The context is the Quintessons have ended up causing a xenophobic, war-mongering subliminal message to get broadcast across the known galaxy, making entire races chant for war.
Then Galvatron shows up.
Is he chanting for war like everyone else?
For violence like everyone else?
For the death of all like everyone else?

The stupid 2D violent pissbaby with zero personality portrayal the fandom seems to love using with Galvatron would have you think so.

Above the call of violence and anger, above the influence for fury and death…
GALVATRON RESPONDS TO A MESSAGE ABOUT SELF-BELIEF.
A MESSAGE ABOUT THINKING POSITIVELY ABOUT HIMSELF AND SUCCEEDING WITH GOOD SELF-IMAGE.

Literal evidence the dude has issues with himself which adds the potential for so much depth, interest and character building. I mean yeah he ends up fighting immediately afterwards (but that’s because he ran into the Autobots right away) but he spent the entire time not interested until the temptation of feeling better about himself appears.
In short; he’s a good boi who deserves more than he gets.
