Rules + Introduction to all the Characters (under the cut)

«—-–-—»

Rules:

1. No harassment, no spam, no hate speech, and no slurs at all.

2. No graphic gore. Suggestive is alright, but not graphic.

3. NSFW is alright! However these CANNOT be directed at Astro or Silver, as they are sparklings. With Hot Rod they can be a little more than suggestive, but not straight explicit or overly graphic. The rest are all fine, if a bit easy to fluster, with some.

4. Please no politics. I don't like to talk about that stuff often, let alone in a form of escapism. (ldk if LBGTQ+ counts, but that's completely fine, it's just most of the other irl current happenings-stuff.)

Introductions

Optimus Prime

The Leader of the Autobots, and current Prime of Cybertron. Has moved away from his leadership position to focus on his new domestic life with his Conjux and sparkling, and lets his top general, SIC, and TIC handle all of those things now. Very vastly prefers life this way, being very similar to how life was for him before he was Prime.

A kindled mech raised by a pair of loving creators, who went off planet long before the war happened, and are still alive to date. Very doting, loving, and caring of his loved ones. He’s well known for being quite empathetic, and understanding, thus leading to a large amount of leniency. A massive bookworm, and loved to recommend them to his loved ones. Was very good at Archiving, whereas he was pretty average as a Dockworker. In general a pretty sweet mech.

Elita-One

The top general of the Autobots, and probably the second ‘right hand man’ of Optimus’s. She’s an elite warrior, and been an Autobot longer than Optimus. She handles most of the faction nowadays, alongside Jazz and Prowl.

A Nyonian foundling raised by three Nyonian Femmes, and moved to Iacon in adulthood. Elita is definitely compassionate, and warm, but usually in she’s very cold and professional with people, just not being a big ‘people person’. She reserves her soft side for her loved ones only, but can still be warm with coworkers now and then. She tends to prefer sitting and watching a TV show, or keeping herself busy. Occasionally does some art. Very reliable and determined; always available for her loved ones to fall back on when they need some help getting steady, and a bomb couldn’t set her off a task once she’s made a decision. She’s very protective of her Conjux and sparkling, and loves them both very much. Just like Optimus, she is very content, and in fact preferable to the circumstances they’re living. All in all, intimidating, but likely won’t hurt anyone (so long as you don’t start it-).

Hot Rod

Optimus and Elita’s 15 vorn old son, created in the middle-end of the war (middle of G1 show’s running); a Foundling, just like Elita herself was. Has not been involved in the fighting, because he was too young and Optimus and Elita both refused to allow him on a battlefield.

Hot Rod is a very bright, and sweet youngling. He’s usually pretty happy to be at one of the two’s sides, and helping them out. He loves helping his loved ones, and trying to solve their problems. Unfortunately however, he has grown up to be deeply insecure, and usually feeling inadequate, and almost entirely without friends (beyond his family, that is) within the Autobot faction. But he does still try his hardest. He is a very loving mechling, perhaps caring a little too much.

Jazz

Third in Command of the Autobots, and the Spec.Ops Commander. Immensely loyal and protective with his loved ones, and utterly terrifying at all times, unless he goes out of his way to not be. Handles the faction with Elita and Prowl. Lives with Prowl and Bluestreak in a proper house now, compared to sharing a large habsuite on base.

Jazz is a kindled mech, former career criminal/thief turned Elite Autobot, usually very cheerful, laid back, and charismatic, and wearing a smile around most of the time. He’s a very proud adoptive sire to Bluestreak, and loving conjux to Prowl, doting on both of them. He’s also Optimus Prime’s Amica Endurae, and loves to spend time with him. Never without a weapon even after you’ve had him drop a comically large pile of them from his subspace three times, always be careful to never particularly piss him off or hurt his loved ones. And don’t think he’ll forget, because he still hasn’t showed up to the winter solstice party for 18 vorns straight. But usually he’s a pretty chill, laid back mech, who doesn’t minding hanging out with people.

Prowl

Second in Command of the Autobots, and Head of the Tactical Division. Very stern and uptight most of the time, and not an ideal mech to make cross with you. Handles the faction with Jazz and Elita, and usually the one doing all the paperwork, not that he minds. Has a well renowned tendency to abuse tables, and occasionally desks.

Prowl is a kindled mech, formerly once upon a time living in the upper caste of Praxus, with his creator’s and older co-creation. However, he has only been back to Praxus once since leaving at 17, and keeps his former status hidden. As an adult he joined the Autobots, and has been quite content with life since. As an Autobot, most see his stern, hard, and prickly outward personality. However, despite being true to his reputation of being a workaholic, he’s not quite what people think, once he lets his walls down, and with his loved ones; in such situations he’s actually rather warm and soft, underneath the mask of coldness he wears. He’s very much an introvert, and quiet most of the time, but he’s not quite as scary as most of the rumors make him out to be. He is very happily conjuxed to Jazz, and very proud of their adoptive son, Bluestreak.

Bluestreak

Legendary sniper of the Autobots, with unmatched marksmanship from a young age. Jazz and Prowl’s 21 vorn old adoptive son, who they took in after Praxus fell.

Bluestreak is very sweet, and bright, smiling a lot of the time, and has no problem holding conversation with other people. He’s a well known chatterbox, but has gotten better than when he was younger. Unfortunately, however, his eyesight has gotten dramatically worse, leading to him needing optical assistants. He still lives with Jazz and Prowl, and they’re happy to have him around. For the most part, he’s doing well.

Megatron

Leader of the Decepticons, and former Gladiator of the Kaonian Pits. Still well followed by most of the Decepticons, and happy to lead them. Conjuxed to Skywarp, and sire to their daughter, Silverclaw.

Megatron is a cold-constructed mech, and a former gladiator. He is very charismatic, especially when he puts the effort to be. He led the revolution, and is very pleased with his success in abolishing Functionism and the Caste System of Cybertron. He tends to be absolutely terrifying to 90% of people, but once you get past the upfront things, he’s actually not that bad to be around. He’s very much a bookworm, and occasionally writes poetry, when the inspiration hits him. Even if he doesn’t say very much, or show it very obviously, he does very much love his conjux and sparkling, and is quite happy living with them out on the outskirts of Kaon’s main city.

Skywarp

One of the Elite Trine of the Decepticons, and Royals of Vos; the middle child. Well known for his warping outlier ability, pranks, ADHD symptoms, and lack of similar intelligence to his trinemates/siblings. Diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD. Conjuxed to Megatron, and carrier of Silverclaw.

Skywarp is a kindled seeker, and one of the Royals of Vos, raised by his carrier and their trinemates in the palace. He’s always been the one who fell behind academically, but is leaps and bounds ahead of his trinemates in other matters, such as navigation, observation, and improvisation. He tends towards being a fun goofball, trying to lighten the mood and boost morale, to make up for it. He is also sort of the middle between Starscream and Thundercracker, despite being on the opposite end of the spectrum in behavior to Starscream. Him and Starscream are working at mending their relationship, but it’s still going to take a long way yet for them, and Skywarp has accepted that. He’s very proud of his sparkling, quite happy in his relationship with Megatron, and surprisingly content living outside of the city.

Silverclaw

Usually referred to as “Silver” as a nickname, or simply how Megatron prefers to refer to her.

5 vorn old daughter of Megatron and Skywarp, born Postwar. Heir to the Decepticon Throne.

She is five, her favorite color is purple, and she loves her parents very much. She also likes her cousin, Uncle Soundwave’s cassettes, and Uncle Starscream’s cat.

She has a flight frame, looking very similar to Megatron but with little wing appendages on her limbs. She also has a few traits of Skywarp’s mixed in.

Soundwave

Third In Command and Communications Officer of the Decepticons. Amica Endurae to Megatron, and conjuxed to Starscream. Creator of his six cassettes, and sire to Astralwave.

Soundwave is a cold-constructed mech, former gladiator in the Kaonian gladiation pits. He’s a very quiet mech, most of the time, but does interject into conversations a lot more than at the beginning of the war. He is admittedly a rather proud mech, despite the subtlety it’s hidden behind, especially in the beginning and middle days, but he did eventually get his comeuppance and isn’t nearly as so as before, and it’s done him some serious good. When he wants to be he can be just as charming as Megatron, even if at times it is a bit different. He occasionally composes some music when he’s feeling up to it, and has began to pick up trying to play instruments. He’s happy to live outside of the city, given how much less assaulting it is on his senses, and it doesn’t feel claustrophobic.

Starscream

The Second in Command and Air Commander of the Decepticons. Graduated from the Iacon Science Academy in just two vorns, with a degree in both Chemistry and Engineering, on honors. Also the Crown Prince of Vos, and youngest of the Elite Trine/Royals. Conjuxed to Soundwave, carrier of Astralwave. Also owns a cir-cat post-war.

Starscream is a kindled seeker, born to the King/Winglord of Vos, making him the Crown Prince. It can usually be quite a gamble on how involved in conversation he is: sometimes he’s a wallflower/focused on something else entirely, or he’s very avidly involved, and invested in it. Unfortunately, due to trauma, unless it’s with people he feels he can trust enough, it’s usually the former. Starscream has been a prodigy his whole life, and holds a lot of pride in his intelligence and skills, so insulting them is not a great idea, especially not when doing so usually drives him into going nuclear in his response/retaliation. But for the most part, if you just leave him alone to tinker with his tools and chemicals, and perhaps even provide now and then, he’s a happy camper and not too difficult to get along with. He enjoys living out of the city far better than in, he’s discovered. He finds it far more relaxing, and it’s nowhere near as stuffy or draining socially as living in the city or in the palace. In regards to his Conjux and sparkling, you can tell from his behavior and optics alone how much he loves and adores them: he may not say it with words, but it’s very obvious. He’s always rather puffy with pride in Astro, and his optics give away how vomit inducing sickeningly in love he is with Soundwave. All around, he’s quite pleased with his life.

Astralwave

Usually referred to as simply “Astro”.

7 vorn old son of Soundwave and Starscream. A seeker, just like his carrier, and quite quiet and calm, usually. Other times he is absurdly dramatic.

His favorite color is red, he loves his creators, and family. He thinks Uncle Megatron and Skywarp are pretty chill, and doesn’t mind having his little cousin around, even if she does babble a bit too much for his liking.

Megatron: I do not see why this stupid blog thing needs to be orange.

Skywarp: yeah, purple is a far better color!

Starscream: fair, when compared to orange, but I prefer blue.

Skywarp: simp.

Starscream: stfu skywarp you ass kisser.

Optimus: That’s enough, we can negotiate colors like normal people. I just thought the warm orange would be nice, and not so assaulting on the humans optics.

Megatron: assaulting? Please, like orange isn’t more assaulting of a color.

Optimus: that’s why I chose a softer orange. And I know you’re not overly fond of softer, lighter, more lavender shades of purple.

Megatron: better than orange.

Hot Rod: can you stop, it’s just a color, leave it be. and if I have to be included can it please not be all orange, or red and yellow as well. It’s like…

Optimus: of course, sweetspark. I’ll change the accent to a lavender that doesn’t horribly clash to look tacky against the orange.

Hot Rod: thank you. I’m muting now to go back to sleep.

Optimus: you’re welcome, love. If you come into the living room, I can make you something to eat before you do.

Hot Rod: okay.

Megatron: that was fast, considering how stubborn you were being.

Optimus: I’m not doing it for you. I’m doing it because I want to make it easier for him.

Elita: you didn’t convince slag into us. It’s for Hot Rod.

Jazz: hey hey hey, you three. There’s no need to be picking a fight over the color of the blog, alright. It could be worse. A lot worse. Like, highlighter neon yellow and hot pink worse.

Soundwave: that sounds horrible. I think I’ll take the soft orange and lavender over that.

Prowl: the idea alone is overwhelming my visual senses.

Silverclaw: i like purple. :)

Astralwave: I think both colors are good. I prefer red though. ¯\_(•–•)_/¯

Bluestreak: eh. Lavender is nice, and I’ve gotten pretty used to orange.

Bluestreak: but aren’t we supposed to do a proper introduction for the blog?

Jazz: we’ll put introductory paragraphs in a pinned post, don’t worry kiddo.

Bluestreak: I’m twenty-four.

Jazz: my baby. <3

Prowl: doing it in a pinned post does sound the most sensible. I’ve never ran a blog before, though, so I wouldn’t know.

Jazz: Don’t worry, Soundy and I can manage it. Right, Sounders?

Soundwave: Refrain from ‘Soundy’. I only allow my conjux that nickname. But yes, we can.

Jazz: cool, cool.

Elita: I still don’t get what this is for.

Starscream: me neither.

Jazz: it’s so the humans and others can ask us questions freely, as the war has ended. And we can answer them!

Starscream: would it not be easier to simply write out an article full of answers to FAQs to serve as a PSA?

Elita: he has a point: isn’t that easier?

Jazz: yeah, but what about all the niche questions, and that’s not as fun. We get to actually interact with them, rather than just feigning for a parasocial relationship.

Elita: and we want to interact with them further, why?

Starscream: grand point. id think they hate us. It’s a lot like superhero movies: we think that it’d be awesome to have superheroes, but we would all hate them because last Saturday you watched one pick up your car, throw it at the dude, and fucking miss, and there’s your car totaled, and would the insurance even cover that? “Superman threw my car at a bad guy so it got totaled”?

Jazz: some of them like us! And want to ask us questions! Let’s just give it a try, yeah?

Starscream: …alright.

Elita: so you and Soundwave are mainly managing this, and we sometimes answer questions. Because they have niche questions that we can’t answer in an faq article.

Jazz: yeah! You’ve got it.

Megatron: this is ridiculous. We need to answer to the likes of humans, just because?

Skywarp: I don’t mind. Seems fun enough.

Silverclaw: okay sounds fun :)

Astralwave: alright then.

Jazz: alrighty! Let’s hop into it! Start sending asks, everyone! ^^
