I wouldn't want to come across these in the middle of the night, they would scare my pants off. Phoenicians/Carthaginians apparently thought so too because they placed these menacingly grinning masks inside their tombs to scare off evil spirits and guard against evil. These particular exemplars come from Tunisia, Spain, and Sardinia respectively.
aHhh okay so the discussions of Titan!Megatron on @callsign-relic's blog have fully. FULLY taken over my brain and ive been drawing stuff for it for like the last few days nonstop
the tl;dr of this is AU is pretty much "what if Megatron got turned into a titan/cityformer as a form of penance/imprisonment and now roams the empty wasteland of Cybertron forever" plus "IDW Megatron has really fucked up internals so... what if that, but as a City?"
and of course since he's a Titan, that also means he has a cityspeaker... or three. One per sub-AU thing. Theres 3 options. 3 flavours of AU.
i have so much art to make. but in the meantime, for more info! check out the #titan au tag on Relic's blog :]!! (also uhh potential ns//fw warning for the link shfjbdkd)
Hi. My battery is running out once again so design and art notes get chucked here instead of an image.
The cuffs and collar are hardwired into Megatron, so I made the lights the same colour as his biolights!
I imagine that on the tops of his shoulders there are solar panels, even if you can't see them here lol.
I really wanted to keep the swirly bits on Megatron's chest from IDW
Other art notes:
The second picture with the seekers is (loosely) inspired by a discussion about whether or not Megatron gets visitors or not. I thought about who would visit him and well... I think this is as close as Starscream realistically gets to visiting him.
Extra detail about that piece is that Thundercracker and Skywarp are keeping watch from above! Also drawing Megatron took me like 8 hours because I was struggling with his legs really badly kshffkbfkdsbdk,, the background went much faster, funnily enough.
Optimus specifically isn't wearing his Autobot badge any more.
This isn't relevant in this series of images, but Ultra Magnus's eye markings are only on the Magnus armour. His other two forms do not have them :] (... until he begins to discard the armour, that is.)
Megatron is roughly 3200m/2 miles tall. Technically he could have clouds around his knees, but I thought this looked a little bit cooler lol.
Also, height chart! Him big. I didn't even attempt to put a human for scale because that'd be. near impossible with this scale.
AU idea: Tarn got injured during a mission and lost his memories, returning him to pre-empurata Damus... (I just want to draw him with a big smile ðŸ˜)

This isn't really a question but more of a funny thought I had about the iron lords and a meme. The meme is called 'Who broke It', and I just couldn't stop thinking about Timur being the one who was asking who broke it and then the rest of the iron lords blaming each other and fighting so I thought I'd share the funny thought lol
YOU'RE SO RIGHT about Timur alskdjhfkslahf 😂 He's certainly the one breaking the poor coffee machine himself just for fun. Pretty sure Colovance will be the one to immediately say he broke just to avoid the scandal and then will offer to fix it; and Timur will have to make him sit back down forcibly like 5 times throughout the whole conversation. Radegast (secretly afraid that he DID break it because he sometimes punches it uuh accidently, but won't admit it) will of course try to blame Felwinter, only for Felwinter to coolly remind everyone that he doesn't drink coffee at all ("Oh you didn't make it for yourself alright, it's for your little brat!.."). Saladin will of course support Radegast, and then Jolder will blame Saladin himself just to mess with him. And Gheleon will straight up say it was Timur who broke it, but everyone will think he's joking askldhflsadh
You're right, it's very funny to think about, thank you 😂💙
(Have a tiny Radegast enjoying his marshmallow coffee from my scribblebook, it seemed fitting)
