Description We're doing a human week over at AHWPH and I decided to putz around and draw the Insecticons as hoomans. I do like how they turned out. :>

Left to right: Kickback, Bombshell, Shrapnel

Shane was that kid who lit things on fire (buildings, pets, etc) and had a screwed up home life with no dad and an abusive mom. At 16, he decided not to go back because it wasn’t like mom was putting food on the table anyway.

When he was 14, Kris was dropped off at soccer practice and his family never came back to pick him up for reasons he doesn’t know or care about anymore. The next morning he met Shane when he tried setting Kris’ makeshift blanket on fire while he slept on a park bench. While the two got off to a bad start, to say the least, they became fast friends.

Byron was abandoned at a young age and sent to the city orphanage. He hopped around a few foster homes and got a good education out of it, but never formed any emotional attachments. Over time, he began tricking other kids into doing things they shouldn’t and usually walking away blame free. He began skipping school and spending time in the park, betting money with old men over chess. He ran into Kris and Shane when he saw them light a small Starbucks stand on fire as a diversion and then pilfer all the food from another cart as people rushed to help.Taking an immediate liking to them, he only went home one last time in order to steal anything worth value.

The three grew up scamming their way through life until they were old enough to join with small gang. Later, they then ratted out that gang to save their skins and moved to establish their own gang, pushing drugs and collecting protection money in their neighborhoods.

My thoughts each human buggers:

Kickback= Sexy Latino, that's why most the ladies are swarming over him.
Sharpnel= Too Frickin' hot for his own good.
Bombshell= Who are the other two?

Hahahaha, I'm glad they came out good! XD BECAUSE MAKING FOLKS QUESTION THEIR SEXUALITY IS /FUN/

Kickback is uncomfortably sexy. I don't think I wanted to get to the point in my life where an insecticon was sexy for any reason, but bravo anyway. It's an awesome picture, in spite of my mild crisis of sexuality.

It's kinda ridiculous, but I'm actually really happy I'm having folks rethink the bugs. LMAO XD This was definitely a 'I don't care their psychotic cannibals Imma make 'em good lookin' piece

haha....I don't really get all that bent out of shape about cannibalism, sadly. Just one of my many failings as a person. I have to admit, though, your enjoyment of transformers has made me rethink my prior indifference to the series. Where can these insecticons be found in their native habitat?


Also, I lurked all over your Ask Connor blog last night, and it is sheer, unadulterated genius. It is difficult to develop comic timing in a static medium like art, so well done.

I blame Hannibal Lecter. CRAZY mofo, but damn if he didn't instill how crazy-scary-awesome a cultured killer could be. >_>

Thing is, the bugs are pretty minor in the grand scheme of the TF series. They pop up from time to time in the G1 cartoon, but I thought their best showcase was in the All Hail Megatron comics and then in the game Fall of Cybertron. Again, they're pretty minor and most of the personalities I've made for them on my rp blog is stuff I've cobbled together from comics, show, and game. :c

Awww, thanks man. I'm having loads of fun with Connor (though he's been quiet lately) and he's a fun outlet. I'm glad so many folks enjoy the stuff I post with him :>

I actually have a small backstory written for each and Shrapnel is definitely the type you don't want to be stuck alone with. 8C

I'm not sure I would like to be stuck with any of them alone. If I had to pick.. I think.. maybe Kickback... maybe.

Ohhh backstory <3 will you be posting it anywhere?

They look like they'd be all touchy happy with each other, in a platonic way if that makes sense.

Really digging Bombshell here.

o-rlyization In reply to ShadedHope [2013-03-22 08:57:41 +0000 UTC]

Idk... I've always seen them as rather tactile with one another--either in a platonic or other sense. Mostly stems from the idea that they've got a 'us against the world' sort of mentality.

I'm glad! I feel like Kickback came as one of the stronger designs, but I'm happy to hear folks are liking the other two as well.

ShadedHope In reply to o-rlyization [2013-03-22 16:19:25 +0000 UTC]

Okay, I can see where you're going. Makes more sense now and they do convey the 'us again the world feel'.

Bombshell here looks like he's the boss the moment you see him. He's straight up and has an authoritative look going on. Being in the center and taller than the others helps.

Shrapnel off to the side there automatically looks a little off his hook. I think it's the eyes and grin that makes me worried of him.

Kickback, for some reason I don't doubt it, looks like he would come out of an alleyway with a pipe to beat me around and knows exactly how to do it. No messing around or faking actions, he's going to the job right.

Considering how they're treated in AHM, I was kinda always left with that impression.

LOL I think you mean he looks like a PIMP. Got his escorts on either side. All he's missing is a hat and cane. LOL I did want to make him more physically imposing compare to the other two. He's always seemed the heavier one TF-wise--ironic considering his penchant for cerebro shells too.

I'm really happy that comes across. He's definitely the most unhinged of the three due to his penchant for torture. Humanverse-wise I altered him to be more of a pyro.

And thank you for that mental image cuz it made its way into a comic Res and I are doing for our Jazz and Prowl blog.

ShadedHope In reply to o-rlyization [2013-03-23 16:17:53 +0000 UTC]

Sadly, I haven't gotten my hands on the AHM comics. I'll have to save some money to get me some.

I would love to see Bombshell in a hat and cane. Maybe a curly mustache and monocle for added measures. Then him beating someone up with the cane.

Yay mental images 8D Now I can't wait for the comic. Glad to contribute something to the cause.

I was lucky to find volumes 1 and 2 and bargain the vender to selling them both for $15. You couldn't probably just read them at any bookstore or comic shelf that stocks older issues or volumes though. <

You make fun of his face and he'll smash your's in. D: What a... er... gentleman.

We'll be posting the full thing over at Ask-work-hard-play-hard , but I'm gonna post it minus dialog here afterward.

That's true. I'll have to start visiting my local bookstore more often then.

A perfect gentleman of the street.

Thanks! I have a tumblr and have been following it for awhile now.
