Description I've been doing so much stuff for other people (not on DA, so much, but elsewhere) that I decided to take a short reprieve from work to do something selfish for myself.

I really haven't drawn much art of Io, and this image has been gnawing at my brain for a few weeks now.

So, here you have it, a rough pencil sketch of Ratchet and Io sharing a tender moment at the clinic.

All of you who have been following WaW know that these two will end up together, so I'm not spoiling anything by posting this.

Perhaps a minor spoiler is Io's adoption of ground-based alt-mode after they become a couple (note the wheels on her shoulders in place of wings).

Also, don't ask me how they're able to interact like that seeing as there is a 15' height difference between them. Maybe Io is standing up on a chair or something...X3

I hope to color this at some point...but it'll likely take a while, lol. If anything, I might post some more sketches pertaining to WaW as coloring (traditional/digital) is so, incredibly time-consuming.

Ne-who, WaW chapter 8 is about 1/4 of the way done. This is going to be a shorter chapter, and the bar fight, sadly, will have to wait until chapter 9. I have to address something, before jumping back into the story. X3 Methinks you all will like it.

Or, at least that is my hope.

Ne-who, have a good one.

Prax

WaW or War and Wings is a Ratchet fanfiction that I've been working on for the past few months. Io is one of my OC's from the story.

What's to come. X3  Though I do have a sketch in the works for Chapter 14 (once it's gone through another round of editing).  Something nice for my Ratchet/Io shippers.

Question, are you excited about the final episode?

X3 

Yes, and no.  I'm curious to see how the series ends, though I have a strong suspicion that Ratchet will not survive long enough to see Cybertron restored. 

There have been far too many nods to this outcome to overlook the possibility, and I've been preparing for the worst ever since it was revealed that Synth-en is crucial to the regeneration of Cybertron. 

As long as his death is dignified, I can deal (and if he should happen to bad-mouth Megatron a bit before the end, all the better).

Spoiler Alert:

I'm happy that Bumblebee gets his voice back. And if Ratchet dies I'm going to cy my eyes out. Plus if Ratchet dies, than who will be the medic for the movie coming out this fall?

It could play out like RID:  As Cybertron is restored, Cybertronians scattered throughout the galaxy get the urge to return home.  If Hasbro just wants to sell toys (season 3 is a blatant example of an entertainment company wanting to expand their profit margin...at the expense of character development and writing--not saying that all of the episodes in 3 are bad, it's just...they could have done better), they could easily introduce a new character this way.  Even Magnus, himself, was attracted to Earth the last time the Omega Lock was activated.  All they would have to do is bring in a ship with a one or two person crew to establish a new medic.

I've got a lot more art planned with the two of them...and some colored pieces, hopefully.

I've also got more chibi-stuff in the works... *rubs hands together eagerly*

Just need time to finish them all...

*shrugs* The power of imagination, lol?

Hasbro has kept quiet about a lot of things like that, especially in regards to why there are "male" and "female" members of an entirely robotic race of aliens.

Symrea In reply to praxcrown5 [2012-10-04 06:47:25 +0000 UTC]

I know why! It's to simulate the seperate ideas and differences, and to make that particular bond with one another.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

praxcrown5 In reply to Symrea [2012-10-06 23:39:25 +0000 UTC]

Love is love, regardless of the species. X3 At least that's my belief.

With humans, love makes it easier for procreation to occur and for offspring to survive longer. With an entirely robotic species, there wouldn't be a need to hook up for procreation purposes, as they literally "build" their offspring, and take the shell to the Well of Allsparks to receive a portion of Primus' soul (a spark, as they call it).

The way I see it, and this goes well against what most fans think, love is a gift given by Primus, a byproduct--if you will--of each Cybertronian harboring a portion of his essence. Each spark, being a portion of Primus' essence, has a unique wavelength, meaning that some sparks are more likely to resonate with those who's sparks share a similar frequency (soul mates, in a sense).

So, the partnership bond is there, but then a deeper spark-bond can also be created if the individuals share a similar spark frequency. Similar to how some humans find themselves drawn to others for reasons that they can't easily explain.

Gosh, I'm such a nerd...lol.
