How does Skyfire and the Jettwins communicated with each other?

I assume this is for Transformers: Matrix, since they Jettwins live with/in/on Skyfire!

They basically have their own wireless network that they communicate through- made easier by the fact that Jetstorm and Jetfire’s sparks are effectively quantum-linked. They think together more often than they think apart, and if one of them is doing a complex task they can even “borrow” processing power from one another. Gestalting is fun! Skyfire is more of just a casual observer, though, and communicates with them regularly. Because they spend most of their time outside of atmospheres they seldom use verbal communication unless the twins are inside Skyfire (as his internals do have an atmosphere) and even then they mostly take advantage of it for music!

Through their “network” they also share a pretty much constant baseline stream of information about their health and functioning, which lets them maintain each other as a group. Generally Jetstorm and Jetfire are more attentive to this, because Skyfire needs more maintenance and spends longer periods of time in low-power mode/recharge.

But yeah. it wouldn’t be at all odd to see them interacting but hear pretty much nothing, because much of their communication is wireless and they’ve grown quite used to it. It’s been just the three of them for a long while, so…it may take them a while to adjust to longer verbal conversations.

THE JETTWINS’ CANON CREATION IS KINDA HORRIFYING HOLY SHIT

#My favourite thing about this is the fact that it explains why Jetfire’s optics are yellow#You can see that Jetfire is the one with his head blown clean off because of his orange arm (and that’s really the only tell)#so sciencebots had to completely rebuild his helm artificially which means his optics wouldn’t be ‘natural’ ones they’d be more like#functional prosthetics or something. We know from tfp that there are some organs that are impossible to recreate perfectly like t-cogs#the minicons – which were also built by sciencebots – also have yellow optics#which leads me to confirm that optics are one such of those organs that are incredibly difficult to recreate#and that the yellow optics that are built instead are like imitations of real optics. As close as they can get with current technology#because before the accident both twins have blue optics so why bother changing it to yellow? There would be no point to that if they could#rebuild optics properly#this is probably not the only use of ‘next best thing’ mechanical replacement in their bodies but it is the most obvious#and confirms that they’re basically frankenstein monsters of their own original frames + flying parts + various kinds of prosthetics#and i think that’s cool#

That’s my favorite thing too along with the fact that they literally chose them because Ultra Magnus didn’t give a shit if they lived or died through the experiment and they had virtually no say in being picked whatsoever. 

Magnus literally said “find me someone expendable”. I s2g Mags goes from Optimus-level nice to asshole so fast…

That’s why I love TFA. The Autobot regime is so fucked up lol

//ACTUALLY, different colored optics were confirmed by Derrick Wyatt (art director for TFA) to be an indication of altered coding, which we know occurred when Starscream’s flight coding was incorporated. Jetstorm has a visor, so we have no idea what color his optics actually are post-rebuild. Minicons reflect this as well, as they don’t seem to have full Autobot coding. They’re an “artificial” construct.

TFA doesn’t have the problem of difficult to replicate parts, as every body type is pretty much handled like Vehicons. Protoforms are stuck into molds and brought online in batches. There are very, very few unique frames at the base level, but modifications are widely accepted. So yeah they’re definitely “frankensteined”, but the optic change runs a little deeper.
