Raven
transformers prime — transformers beast wars fan character
intro i know this character is consider over-powered or the old term, a mary sue but he was made that way on purpose! I love this big winged bot and hope everything is writing in clearly! i mainly use him the aligned continuity [ transformers prime mainly ] but i also use him Transformers Beast wars so i'll be listing that storyline here as well [i use the same design for both so you don't have to be worried about that]!*he's design was inspired by raven [sir raven n storm-wild raven mainly] from fortnite and some other transformers likes galvatron, shockwave, Tarantulas, n cyclonus.
he isn't meant to become au type character [cbc?] but i couldn't think of another name n while i still don't consider him one idm if others do lolz!psst, tfp n idw profile is not up yet!
design n trivia
💜. Ravenstorm is super huge! Like bigger than all the bot but not as big [anymore] the ancestors due to compression and scanning. 💜. All the pink splatter does glow and he likes it! It makes him noticeable which usually wouldn’t be a good thing normally but Raven believes so much in his strength [very reasonable] that he doesn’t mind being spotted! 💜. Raven feathers became organic type texture due to him scanning a Raven but if you remove all the feathers on his wings you will find a metal skeleton underneath. He can still fly without his feathers but he really likes the look of them and is very picky about how they are presented. 💜. It is assumed that Ravenstorm does not have a mouth or nose and only eyes but that is not the case. The voice/sound just doesn’t come from his mouth but another place so he does not have a need to open it but you can catch a glimpse of it up close. He can be drawn with a white outline for a mouth if you want, just make sure to give him fangs. 💜. Raven does have optics rings on and they are white so they blend in with his white optics from a far. So just like his mouth, you need to be up close to see them.
💜. Raven have sharp claws and very large hands. The claws also glow like the other pink parts on his body. They are very sharp at the end so he learned to be very careful when holding things but they can still hurt. 💜. His wings are super huge [touch the ground huge] and very soft if you touch them [might have to be Tarantulas to be able to touch him lolz.] 💜. Around Ravenstorm waist is cape like but that is also a bunch of feathers! 💜. If you noticed he doesn’t feature any Raven parts in his bot mode like how everyone else can see what animal they transform into in bot and that is to disconnect Raven from other bots and the connection to his beast-mode since he doesn’t use it. The only animal parts his feathers on him. [this is also because his design is mainly used for tfp and he doesn’t transform.] 💜. Raven looks bulky but not really bulky, just the wing illusion.

about Ravenstorm is a dormant bot from the prehistoric cybertron when the ancestors of the Predacons and Maximals [ the Decepticons n Autobots ] were still around. It’s unknown how he landed back on earth in the past before his original creation! Tarantualas was the first to find him in a pod. Raven believes that Tarantualas is his creator and Tarantualas does not correct his theory even when really looking into Raven’s true background.
!. He doesn’t really transform in front of others but Tarantulas does mention he turned into the bird species.
!!. His claws can be filled with poison [short term affect] if he chooses and the feather daggers are sharp n can be pulled from his wings [ they blend in ].
biography
Ravenstorm or just wanted to be known as Raven is a very big and very strong bot who considers himself on top of the power scale and it’s kind of true.Raven is not from the current generation of the Predacons and the Maximals! It’s unknown how he arrived on the timeline he is at now but here he is! Tarantulas was the first to arrive at the pod Raven was in- Raven pod was able to scan an animal [a Raven- bird species] and open it without any complication but there was a problem with Raven remembering who he was [like name] or what even just want happen [spotted memory loss]. The pod did look very odd, like it wasn’t from the Maximals ship. When Raven first landed eyes on the spider bot, it was like an imprint, believing he is his creator, why would he be there if he wasn’t and he knew he needed to be around him only! Raven swoops down to his ‘creator’ Tarantulas and induces himself [he did call Tarantulas his creator but Tarantulas didn’t seem to mind]. Tarantulas was slightly disappointed that he couldn’t have him scan an arachnid creature but slightly didn’t mind.After a while, Tarantulas did get curious about the fact Raven doesn’t seem like any of the other Predacons nor the Maxmals. He’s super tall and just seems different! Tarantulas have done multiple expressionment on him [yes, Raven did let him do it] and did figure that he isn’t from here and the big thing that he’s shared listed cna[?] with the world destroyer, Unicron.* When asked or more likely pressed, Ravenstorm doesn’t have any idea about sharedness between the chaos bringer, he didn’t know about it or even knew “what a Unicron?”. Tarantulas even thinks that he was created by Unicron! Raven is not happy about him saying that and claims that he is the spider baby alone and will tell everyone especially that! Tarantulas have given up trying to convince Raven of any finding he comes across but does keep the info in mind for the future plans of his and he doesn’t want to give up the loyalty of the big strong bot for his use.Ravenstorm will do anything for Tarantulas no matter if it was against the Maximal or even the Predacon [anything against the Maximal was mostly like from Megatron ordering Tarantulas to order Raven] but Raven does not have any bad blood between any of them and even had a friendly chat with the Maximal Tigatron. Tigatron does do believe that Raven can change and relayed that to the other Maximals.
about unicron connection
Raven was created by Unicron to poison Autobot and Decepticons but do to some unknown how he got stuck into a pod or was placed into the pod but was been placed somewhere safe until it was unknowingly placed on the Maximal ship and was ultimately ejected into earth orbit like the others pods. Raven pod did end up landing on earth where the beginning text starts. The Maximal did not notice the weirdly different pod on their ship or even recognize it when they later saw the pod as one from their ship when Tarantulas and Raven were long gone. Tarantulas’s experiments show that Ravenstorm was meant to be purely rage and fight and poison was supposed to infect and kill as possible. It's possible being in dormant effect him in these and it might be possible after a while he will go back into her was created for [or at least the poison might]. It feels like Raven was an experiment for Unicron to have kind of a version of himself in an average Cybertronian body during the time.
EXTRA INFORMATION
Raven is always in his bot-mode and has to be taught on how to transform to his Raven beast-mode but he prefers to stay in his bot-mode since it is, in his words, “too much work”. Ravenstorm loves to threaten all the bug/archnid beastformers when he does transform that he will eat them, while joking he says it in a very serious tone. Ravenstorm has proclaimed many times that he does not care for Maximals or Predacons and is the “baby of the spider”!*I'm playing off the possible Tarantulas not the possible Unicron spawn [I can't remember if it was confirmed or just theories and I'm too lazy to do 3 seconds of research to see / I'm pretty it was one off and not meant as such]. Ravenstrom is in my eyes considered Unicron spawn if not an early creation.

tarantulas
It's Tarantulas! His creator! His everything! Ravenstorm couldn’t be more happy to be around the spider bot! Always helping around even when Tarantulas complained about his help. He will do everything for him, like stated before, He is everything to Raven! Raven is ever loyal to him and him alone!
Blackarachina
It's complex how Raven feels about Blackarachina fully! He’s trying to mimic Tarantulas distain of her but its not really there for him! Every interaction with Blackarachina without Tarantulas present have been pleasant- well pleasant in Raven's eyes since he didn’t catch Blackarachnia insults to him!] Raven doesn’t fully consider her a friend but just there.
Waspinator
He’s no Tarantulas but Raven really does consider Waspinator as a friend! They do hang out and Waspinator is actually very chill to hang out around. Raven does very much like Waspinator.
Tigatron
Had one chat with him when Raven save a random cheetah from a cliff which slightly confused Tigatron who mention that he wouldn’t didn’t think any of the Predacon who care the local animals and this was the first time Raven announces that after watching battles between Predacons and Maximals that he doesn’t consider himself Pred. When asked about joining with the Maximals, Raven also stated that he does not have part of the Maximals as well! Raven was thankful for the invite though and gave a pleasant goodbye to Tigatron and ever since if he’s in battle, he will not face off against Tigatron.
cheetor
Ravenstorm really likes Cheetor due to the fact he transforms into a big cat and his favorite big cat species, a Cheetah! He hasn’t really had any real interaction with him but come on, Raven thinks he’s very cool.
rattrap
That rat really needs to watch its back! The last time the two came across each other but Rapttrap may or may not have pulled on Ravenstorm wings and he is still very salty about it! It made some of his feathers look uneven and he really wanted to keep his wings kept unlike the rest of his body so you might understand why it made him mad and he didn’t even get a sorry later on!
dinobot
Just like Rattrap, Dinobot did mess with Ravenstorm wings but instead of pulling on them, he BITED THEM! Raven is doubly mad about all this! He even has a plan when he does see Dinobot [pick up, and up, up, up… let go!]
