Megatron once said "everypony" at a meeting and his in his room for like a week after that.

Trust me I was inside starscreams cockpit

[autobotscostumerservice]

I really need to watch earthspark again to get my metal flock au timeliness in order but man... I hate S2 and knowing what's gonna happen sours S1 so bad.... I'll just read fanfic until I remember the plot besides 'starscream a girl dad'

Tfa jazz and sentinel should have fucked.

It would have fixed sentinels nasty attitude if jazz just got him in bed.

I fully belive seekers to be deceptively strong. No way is a damm jet weak.

The first time tfp megatron saw starscream lift a whole mech and toss them over his head he had to do a double take. He fears the day starscream gets over his frame type bias and bulks up. he put my beutiful jet wife on ozempic

Knockout finds it secretly hot. He could will jump on starscream if something comes for them and he fully expects starscream to princess carry him out of danger.

I said before how soundwave is trying to insert himself as sire to starscreams flock.

But yea I didn't go deep into this man's divebomb into the crazy side. He's pretty much started hallucinating, or more like inserting into past memories of starscream the signs of a carrying mech.

He convinces himself there was a baby bump where there was not one and that his behavior while in captivity was mood swings. Starscream was just hungry, angry, and sky sick but to soundwave it now reads like mood swings, morning sickness and metal deficiency.

Once they are out he's dead set on getting starscream and the terrans back to the cons. Also mandatory checkup and PowerPoint on why starscream and he should co parent

[autobotscostumerservice]

I headcanon that most cybertronians can't cook.

Energon is their main meal that only really needs to be filtered to be edible. But cooking is a genuinely hard skill because energon is a volatile substance. it can blow up, catch fire, turn toxic, etc.

So few bots learn to cook as it's more of a science than for us. Even adding a few additional minerals or brewing high grade can be a danger.

I think starscream is unusually skilled in cooking. He can make enrgon jellies and rust sticks. It's surprising the meal he can make simply because he wanted to understand the properties of energon before the war.

Swerve is another good cook. Specially on high grade making, and candy making.

Despite being great in science and chemistry shockwave can't cook for shit, He dosent understand why. He follows a recipe to the T, starscream gets a perfect energon oil cake, he gets The humonculous™. He hates it.

Yall remember when bumblebee made fun of soundwave losing rumble?

In my au that scene comes up when bumblebee comes close to capturing starscream/getting the terrans.

He says is casually, like it's a joke. But the terrans have grown with starscream who talks about rumble and frenzy like they are their cousins. They are soundwaves kids starscream would have liked for them to have grown up with them around.

So to hear bumblebee mock the death of one of their family really dosent sit right with them. The terrans get a real feta of the autobots out of it. They think they'll take them from starscream and if they, or worse, starscream dies the others will only find out because they'll make a joke out of it.

Bumblebee: oh yea he blew up his cassette because he didn't even know how hungry he was :)

Terrans: *grew up with a carrier who has obsessively hidden as much energon as he can in their compartments and safe houses to the point of starving himself*.... hey so this is my first impression of you actually :/ ...

Metal flock au

Started thinking of what each character thinks about starscreams little escapade with the terrans. He's on maternity leave and it's everybody's business.

I feel like I haven't mentioned it but nobody knows HOW starscream got the kids. The general assumption is divided. they all think he carried them naturally.

The autobots think starscream got secretly sparked and kept it secret when he got captured. They make bets on who they think is the sire. Mayority think it was a random decepticon grunt and starscream was too proud to say so.

The decepticons are in shambles. They have no idea. They blame GHOST, they think they experimented on starscream and got him sparked, or that the autobots had something to do with it.

A few think megatron did it (this is a surprise tool that will hurt help us later)

BTW, since cybertronians are robots mine have the ability to sort of delay the gestation of a sparkling so that's why the bots and cons aren't sure of the time of conception and birth of the kids. It really could have been years ago and starscream simply had the fortitude to force stop it

Soundwave

"what do you Mean he got out?! That back stabbing cowardly slag-.... Fuck you mean sparklings? Alright fess up who sparked up my de facto leader?"

He was furious at starscream at the start for "abandoning" them just like megatron (abandonment issues soundwave let's goooo)

When a GHOST agent slipped up and said starscream had sparklings he got concerningly calm (obsessive attachment soundwave let's goooo)

In his mind starscream had more than reason to run and not look back. Their only chance at repopulation couldn't be trusted in the hands of humans or autobots

The decepticons sparklings couldn't be left to be inprisoned by GHOST megatron

Not the stepsire but the sire who stepped up, or at least he wants to be... If starscream let him even a mile near.

He's not insane, just a bit obsessed with finding the kids. Thinks he and starscream should put the kids and cassettes together and keep them safe.

Not exactly in love with starscream but wants to step up in what he thinks is the best for the kids and them

Soundwave tweaks out any time someone hints they could be megatrons. That mech dosent deserve dirt, much less sparklings.

Inside he does think they are megatrons and HATES him for it.

How is it fair, that he lost his little one and he gets 5? It isn't, he doesn't deserve it, he won't let him have them.

Shockwave

Goes back through every memory of interaction with starscream since megatrons betrayal trying to find the turning point.

"when would he even have the time to frag??????"

Somethings aren't adding up but any questions he voices gets him yelled at by either starscream, soundwave, or skywarp.

Wants to know how starscream did it. Get sparked, carry that many sparks while in prison, and kept it a secret. It just dosent make sense.

He thinks the most logical path forward is to retire starscream as leader and for him to focus on raising the terrans. And in the future make more.

Wants to give the sparklings a check up as soon as they find them.

If only starscreams illogical carrier coding didn't make him so flighty and dificult. More than usual.

Skywarp / novastorm

Excited to be aunts (they are siblings in earthspark to me)

They where also very mad at starscream for leaving until they found out about the kids.

Now it's just worry and righteous anger.

"so it seems the oh benevolent autobots aren't so good after all" - nova

"will you force him to bear you more lord megatron? You don't deserve any of them" - sky

Skywarp has become aggressive and difficult now that she nows starscream is out there alone with a whole flock of kids.

Skywarp thinks they are megatrons. She wants him dead for it. Used as cannibalized snack for starscream.

Skywarp thinks that megatron is an useless sire who should give the only thing he has worth giving to star. His corpse as sustenance

Nova storm thinks GHOST did it

She wants each and every single human in there dead for the disrespect to her trine.

They both are the most eager to escape so they can find and help starscream. Seekers raise their kids together and starscream is alone with a whooping 5 sparkling flock.

They think starscream must be running on fumes after having that many with zero help.

They are both worried sick of what will happen to starscream if GHOST or the autobots find him.

Earthspark metal flock au

Everyone should know that hashtag is still an iPad kid in this au. Starscream made her one because it's that never ending "are we there yet"s when she got to big for starscream to fly her and the siblings around and they all had tow walk.

He's defensive over it. Nobody judge him for his kids screen time. he's doing his best </3

[autobotscostumerservice]

(accidentally deleted a post from my other account, I hate it here)

Anyways, seen so many of those transformers plums, the little fluffy ball thing, on tiktok and decided to name a few of what a group of them would be called because it's 2am and have nothing to do.

A herd of mixed plums is called a basket

A herd of Rung plums is called a bell

A herd of swerves is a chatter

A herd of Prowls is an enforcement

A herd of starscreams is called a constellation

A herd of thundercrackers is a crackle

A herd of skywarps is a woop

A herd of ultra magnus is called a jury

A herd of skids is called a scratch

A herd of hotrods is called a hotlink

A herd of Skybite's is called a surfing

A herd of pharmas is called a dose

A herd of overlords is called a nothing because they never let another of themselves last long enough around them for there to be more than one for very long.

Not a lot of shattered glass tfa around.

Sg tfa sentinel should be ultra magnus tired overworked secretary.

He tries to keep the team spirit going but all his useless coworkers don't give a fuck. "it's a team bonding activity! I'm going to smother my senile boss"

He has child leashes for the jettwins. "not now kids, carriers not had his morning martiny yet..."

Every time magnus goes on a rant you can just see sentinel in the background smoking a pack and looking tired for all he's gonna have to fix when the tantrums over.

Checks in on the repair crew (op and company) over video call often.

He and ratchet get along the best. Both feeling the weight of trying so hard for people who seem to not try at all. Except ratchet does it for the selfish reason of wanting people to depend on him forever

Genuinely thinks keeping optimus out of the academy and away from magnus was for the best, joining the guard wasn't what they said it'd be.

Some very histerical late night lead to thinking his unruly sparklings would be better off if they ran away to the decepticons.

Learmed of workers union and osha violations and think it's the best thing the humans have ever made.

Yearns for retirement. Has a frame picture of his retirement fund. Nothing is getting between him and his 401k retirement plan or so help him primus.

He has fond intrest in earth and humanity. Thinks retiring in earth sound like a wonderful idea, Mexico would be his dream vacation.

It takes physical strength on his part to not try and mother hen bumblebee, soundwave, and sari. Not that they'd appreciate it (soundwave would and does)

Think Blackarachnia got more beutiful after becoming part organic

The jet twins treat him like he's their cringe soccer mom.

I always headcanon iacon as like... A costal city with many railways.

I also think the iacon archives to be a massive glittering pyramid of glass and white metal but with trains running in and out at diferent levels. Imagine the bass pro shop Sporting goods store in Memphis, Tennessee

Transformers one affected this view tho.

Iacon is built on a costal canyon. In a large crevice where a river runs through. The upper side, with the archive as it's highest point is where the rich reside while the darker rundown areas at the soggy bottom are for the lower class. The city builds into the rocky walls and up stacking buildings onto each other.

The lower slums flood often.

The higer neighborhoods are known for their beutiful sunset views.

[autobotscostumerservice]

Shattered glass tfo darkwing who's very passionate about workers rights.

Union worker darkwing. He still yells MINERSSS but it's in excitement. He's very passionate about the working class.

Darkwing in his activist era, too bad most of his workers are edge lords aura farmers. Someone find starscream so he can talk about his special interests in osha regulations.

[autobotscostumerservice]

He's real now

Sparkly Prowl. He looks like some cop stripper in California. Or like a cop was the victim of a gang of 5yr old girls.

I wish I had the photoshop ability to make him sparkler. Or make the pearlescent look work on the black plating. The average praxus bot looks like a fairy princess dream car.

The minute I lock tf in and get back into photoshop I'm making sparkly Prowl real.

He looks like the car only a cop stripper show would use.

He only blends in if he's in new York or some shit. They just asume theres a gay bar nearby

The constructicons should cat call him in battle </3

Cybertronian biology specifically.

Paint is seen as both makeup, in regards to details like stripes, flames, bedazzling. While the whole body color is more like skincare.

Wax is skincare like washing your face is. While whole body paint is skincare like HAVING skin at all.

Being un-waxed is seen as just not washing but not having finish is like walking around with scabs all over your body.

Newbuilds aren't unpainted tho. Their body gets a thin nanite specific color a few hours after being born that slowly turns into OG color as they grow. Imagine a dull matte green/grey/blue, that's newborn color instead of the dull Grey/white that naked protoform is

Nudity is complex. Opening the plating can be gore or it can be sexy. It depends of what you open and how deep.

Optimus showing the matrix isn't nude any more then showing your collarbone. But pulling it out and showing the cabling beneath is walking around tits out.

Showing a spark is complicated as well. Seeing the spark chamber is very gory and disturbing, but seeing the spark and it's light is intimate. Depends on the bot if it's sexual, platonic or romantic.

Nanites are like nano robots in the surface of their plating that help heal and be the outermost layer. Nanites have their OG paint color in their code. If a bot dosent paint themselves they will slowly turn the color they where born as.

Also no, they don't see the random metal of their planet as flesh even if it's the body of primus. Not any more than we see literal calcium as human teeth. Made similar but not seen the same.

Their em field really only naturally expands about a far as you can extend an arm. It dosent reach a whole room. But they can expand it more if they know how, even make it connect with others

Sending em field connection requests is scandalous in cybertron if you don't know the person well.

For my autism community, reading an em field isn't any easier than figuring out 'tone'. I hate that, you say something nice but someone took it as sarcasm because your field felt off

Optimus's field is a perpetual thousand yard stare because he is sued to the field size he had as Orion so it's very compressed inside him.

Fliers have better control and more complex communication through em field. Shuttles have the longest range of em field only behind Titan class bots like metroplex and tripticon.

Primus em field is so potent it forms the atmospheric layers of cybertron. Anything that happens up there is considered a show of their gods emotions

Sparklings are born with soft plating, from how hot their metal was to be created. It's soft enough that you have to be careful not to leave hand shaped dents on them.

Some creators take this time to hand shape features they want into their children, though this is slightly looked down by some people.

A flat tire is like pulling a muscle to them.

Medic bots are chonkier than others of their frame type. Pharma would be bigger than the average seeker, ratchet is bigger than the average van.

This either for born medics like ratchet that came online like that or those who learned it like pharma who where instructed to bulk up and get plating added when in university.

On terms of learning. Cybertronians can download information but it's not the same as learning it. Think knowledge and wisdom. They can download the info they want but will still need some time to use it to it's full capacity

Some knowledge comes pre installed like basic instinct or frame type requirements. Ratchet was born with basic medical knowledge like what to o with certain injuries but he didn't know the names or why he did it.

All fliers spend the first cycles of their life practically always carried or in their creators cockpit. Trines have it easier passing the little one through 3 partners or more but at least they can glide as soon as they are out.

Grounders are ready to go go go as soon as they pop out. Set them on the floor and they might run off. Heavier class ones can't tho. They need extra time to harden their joints.

Triple changers are dificult. They don't usually fit into either of their classes as they have entirely different biology.

Triple changers will lose the ability to transforms comfortably with age faster than any other class besides titans. Their joints just lock up

You can connect to a cybertronians EM field through Bluetooth btw.

Sent megatron depression through a Nintendo DS rn.
