We were able to officially unveil our new Optimus Prime costume at Phoenix Fan Fusion this year!
What are those thigh highs for..
Look, I’m suffering from this and I have to get it out of my head:
In the Megahusband verse (it’s rocksinmuffin’s creation) where Reader got cyberformed into a purple Seeker femme, they still have to go to family functions with their son, Starscream.
Like Reader’s parents accepted Starscream as their first grandchild with no questions, but other relatives were so skeptical but accept it because giant warlord and bird son can squish them easily. More than one person stare into the ceiling at night wondering how the FUCK, in all of its definitions, it works.
But with a now Seeker!Reader, they side-eye the fully robot family becauseit now seems so sus that their boy (in college now, btw) shares so much of his colors with the other leader.
So now the fam, outside the parents since Megatron explained to them that Cybertronians emerge fully-framed by Vector Sigma (not a lie, but not the whole truth), thinks Reader had cheated on Megatron with Optimus Prime and that Starscream is the damn result.
I modelled Optimus’ head with my noob skills. The mesh was a mess but I managed to throw in some cinematic lighting and obscure that

WIP. Humanformer Optimus
Optimus. Got the pose from a Flame Toys photo. The process of sketching and inking this is on my ig and twitter (haven’t set dimensions for platforms other than ig so I’m probably not posting that on Tumblr cuz the video would be very small with borders wider than the content)
Have you ever drawn a character then felt hard pressed to add a background? I’m pleased to share with you this method to solve this creative headache once and for all. Till all backgrounds are one my friend
Optimus
Soooo I forgot to post some pictures of my greatest fabric masterpiece. Was joking with @knighttimeart at TFCon about how Optimus is absolutely the type of guy to be a grill dad with a funny apron, and, well, I just had to make one. Some of my model kit mecha got to dress up all pretty before I sent it to him, and Megatron was even showing off the big pocket. I’m glad it didn’t get lost in the mail, I think I would’ve cried if it had.
