Also hear this out: When Megatron’s Garage Omega Lock is shown, the VEHICONS are the ones working on it. VEHICONS. Remember this.

Later on in Predacons Rising they’re shown as so stupid they can’t even assemble a BUILDING.

THEY HAD JUST GOTTEN DONE BUILDING THE GOSH DARNED BLASTED OMEGA LOCCKKKK !!!!!!! AN ANCIENT IMPOSSIBLE-TO-KNOW STRUCTURE !!!!!! ARE YOU TELLING ME THEY CAN’T EVEN MANAGE TO BUILD A SHED AFTER THAT???? HELLO??????????

​~how are you gonna attach the cladding when the framing structures incomplete huh~ BULKHEAD THEY JUST SLAPPED TOGETHER THE VERY ANCIENT STRUCTURE THAT MADE YOUR FUTURE POSSIBLE OK???????

the Omega Lock was this big, ancient, mysterious thing that had us hyped up for episodes, and then at the very last minute Megatron just decided to whip one up in his garage?????

like GIRL WHATTT “decepticon engineering” my FOOT

Don't worry Megatronus. It was just a dream...

A strange dream.

Transformers (Prime)

Guys, you know what's really sad? Optimus Prime never brought back a snowball for Rafael. Justice for Rafael!

Also, I love how abruptly this humorous line came.

*serious tone*

"The conditions are much too extreme, even for we autobots."

*long pause*

*turns around slowly*

"But... I will bring you back a snowball."

In the most deadpan but kind, gentle voice.

We waited the whole 22:13 minutes, but he never did bring one back. We waited the whole 19 episodes later, and Rafael, for all we know... suffered in silence.

I bet if Megatron offered him a snowball, he would switch sides. Kidding... Bumblebee is too cool to ditch him like that.

Also... I know, I know. This is an unusual post for me. I usually post more "serious" topics, writing advice, or progress on my own writing. Well, today I decided to be different. I love too many fandoms.

Finally tried actually drawing this man and….. HOW DO PEOPLE DO THISSS??!??!! AAAHHGHHAHAHAAHHHH

It was fun though. I really wanted to draw him smiling. He’s giving you a thumbs up, as if to say, “You can do this!!!” So, whatever tough thing you may or may not be going through right now, know that Inspirational Predaking is cheering you on!

For those who think that TFP Nemesis is not Trypticon (From the official Transformers: The Art of Prime book):

[deja-mew]

The fact that we only got 3 Predacons in TFP is such a tragedy like I KNOW that we know this but I just can’t help thinking about how much potential they had as characters like…. The tiny handful of moments we got to see Skylynx and Darksteel actually talking and not just thrashing got me thinking about what everyone else would have been. Like what else were they like..? What would they have been like as a community? Who would have been besties with who? Idk I just miss them…. I feel robbed of silly dragon guy content….

Just happy Cybertronians being themselves having lives. Look I know Transformers is all about the bots vs cons war but like what if it wasn’t…. 💔💔💔

the Great Prince of the Forest I mean Predaking

[deja-mew]

Noooo because I'm thinking about future!Predaking somehowing his way into parenthood with a bunch of teeny Predacon sparklings

[deja-mew]

My root canal went really well so here’s a celebratory headcanon :3333

Post-war Predaking helping his dad Shockwave with some of his work because some big projects need extra hands and the vehicons aren’t exactly there for that anymore. Predaking indirectly learns a lot of science and actually gets pretty good at it (He’s smart!)

Shockwave hearing some of his ideas and… they’re at times surprisingly… logical…? And he actually implements them. He slowly becomes like a mentor to Predaking, at times deliberately explaining and demonstrating things for the purpose of educating him. Unintentionally he starts finding fulfillment in it, either because he is seeing his experiment have such success in intelligence or maybe because having someone earnestly curious in his work (especially someone who’s such a good listener and asks intelligent questions) is …slightly enjoyable.

[deja-mew]

At the dentist for a root canal just thinking about how Predacons have to do double the dental work probably bc they got 2 sets of teeth 😭😭😭

[deja-mew]

I don’t think I can verbalize how much I love and care for Predaking as a person like I cannot find a better character. Like he has at base such a compelling and complex personality and I just don’t feel like him being a cannibalistic idiot in ancient times suits him. Like come on. How do you get current Predaking from that..?? And don’t tell me Shockwave made him that way because he does not have those kinds of genes to pass on 😭😭

Also if Shockwave even had the ability to modify him to that extent he would have had to look at Predaking’s insides and then he would have seen the t-cog. 🙄🙄🙄

[deja-mew]

HOT TAKE: Even after Unicron upgraded him, Megatron had to pick barnacles off himself for a good long while. I can’t imagine all the underwater critters that probably moved into him as a corpse. Maybe he wasn’t down there quite that long, but I’m sure he didn’t get away 100% critter-free. Barnacle boy Megs. Who else is here for that

[deja-mew]

Here, take a bunch of Predaking, Skylynx and Darksteel headcanons!

As a treat!! They were a treat for me to write ✍️. Silly dragon guys I ❤️❤️ Love them.

✧˖*°࿐

- Of course he would never admit this to anyone who doesn’t already know, but Predaking is extremely ticklish on the bottom of his feet, only back towards his heels. Darksteel found this out the hard way one day when he thought it would be silly to try tickling him while he was having a snooze and accidentally got kicked into next Thursday.

- Skylynx likes to wake up extra early to see the sunrise. He sneaks away to be as alone as possible, just before dawn breaks, and finds a good place to watch the sun come up. He loves soaking in the first morning rays of sunshine. It’s usually his favorite part of the day! He never talks about it to anyone though, it would be spoiled if anyone else tried to come with.

- Darksteel loves tiny creatures. He just thinks they’re so cool (anything but scraplets). If he had ever met Lazerbeak he would have been a fan. In my AU, there’s all sorts of “tiny” (by cybertronian standards) bug-like creatures and he collects them! He gets so hyped up learning about new ones. Maybe he’d like humans, but who knows..

- Predaking, even if he had legions of subjects, is super attentive and has a very detailed memory. He’d remember everyone’s name, face, even things about their personality/things they’d mention liking. He is definitely one of those people who would gift someone something they had only just slightly mentioned wanting (and had probably forgotten they said anything about it in the first place).

- Darksteel counts it as a great victory if he ever gets Skylynx to full-on laugh with him. It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes they both get really silly over something and Darksteel likes not being the only one laughing for once.

- This isn’t much of a headcanon because it’s probably pretty true, but I’ll take it further. Predaking loves reading. Researching, yes of course, since he needs to know all he can to best serve his people; but aside from that he just loves to read. Novels, poems, news reports, you name it. He’s already read it. His particular favorite though, is novels. I once imagined him reading Jane Austen and I can’t get it out of my head now. I’m sure he was ready to throw down for Elizabeth when Mr. Darcy insulted her family in Pride and Prejudice. (Imagine the Autobots giving him some datapads filled with similar content from Earth for him to read, to help maintain a good relationship with the Predacons… And he’s genuinely so hyped but trying to be professional in the moment 😭)

- Probably nobody else on Cybertron does this but when Darksteel gets extra giddy about something he trots. At least in quadroped mode anyway, he doesn’t exactly skip in bipedal mode because well that would be too embarrassing and he’s too fierce for that… but it’s okay to do as a dragon in his own mind.

- Skylynx and Darksteel both like trying to blow smoke rings. Like how they do in movies, with cigars and such. Instead of needing to be smoking something, if they do something similar to a belch, they can naturally puff out smoke instead of fire. Sometimes they’re even able to get Predaking to play along and the three contend with each other on who can do the best ones.

- At some point, they get a hold of a great bunch of music files. Things get a little tense. While Predaking is trying to enjoy Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture (complete with cannons), Darksteel is playing Dragostea din tei too loud. Skylynx can’t stand any of it and just wants to listen to his Grizzly Bear playlist in peace, so to avoid confrontation everyone sort of splits off to mind their own music. Hopefully they get some custom headphones soon. (Basically, Predaking’s all about classical music, Darksteel loves meme songs, and Skylynx is an indie folk fan)

- Predaking usually doesn’t remember his dreams, but when he does they’re extremely abstract yet vivid. Mostly, they’re representations of whatever he has been feeling most. Because he sleeps rather lightly, they are pretty rare.

- Skylynx sleeps deeply, and has realistic dreams that have their own plots and everything. Sometimes he even has consecutive nights that are the same dream just continued on from where it left off the night before. He likes to keep track of these stories and writes down everything he can remember as soon as he gets a chance.

- Darksteel also gets good deep sleep most of the time. Though he never remembers his dreams enough to be able to talk about them or write them down, he knows they must be pretty good, because he never seems to wake up in a bad mood. Of all the three Predacons, he usually is the one to wake up most refreshed.

- All three take their morning energon (or whatever equivalent of breakfast there may be) together, usually in a comfortable silence. They do have their own routines to get ready for the day, but they also like to, actively like to, spend calm time together before the day officially starts. It’s one of the many subtle things they do naturally that shows that they’re getting quite close as bretheren after all.
