Optimus Prime dies.

Optimus Prime: This is the end.

Megatron dies.

Megatron: This is the end.

Optimus Prime gets revived by some god like person.

Megatron gets revived by some god like person.

Then there's Bumblebee.

Bumblebee: gets stabbed in the spark, gets shot in the spark, gets yeeted out a burning ship, gets blown up by a bomb, gets torn apart.

Bumblebee: It is but a scratch.

Do you have more headcanons about that story and art involving Megatron and Bee being friends?

I think they met in passing, but seems one of them admired the other ;)

[lass-us-slay]

YAASSSS DO IT.

What if B-127 was a little more annoying, and talked a little bit too much?

After watching the "Transformers One" movie I felt like Bee didn't get enough attention and drama. So, it was up to me to make him suffer! Yay! Part 1 out of (4?), update in a week!

First >> Next (coming soon!)

[lass-us-slay]

Yk now that I think about it-

Optimus must feel… a certain type of way with the Decipticon symbol in tf one. Because yk- it was him that gave Megatron the symbol, probably in good faith and absolute adoration too.

But now he has to see that symbol every time on his past friends lovers chest as he engages in a life or death battle with him.

He must feel pretty sad… and now I’m sad :((

[lass-us-slay]

About the post that Sentinel stole the cogs for a generation of leaders, and the you mention Bee almost, ALMOST, starting a revolution, do you have more headcanons on that?

Omg- TY FOR ASKING😭 I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT IT

I only have some, I’m working on more but for now let’s world build! Because that totally isn’t gonna be important to the story later on- nnoooooooo

One of the things I headcanon is that the 10 sub-levels that no one knew about are actually very very spread out and wayyyy below the regular mining levels. (Sub-level 50 is the only one that’s closer to the regular sub-levels)

The purpose of spreading out these sub-levels is because the workers that worked there could have access to certain parts of the structures close to Iacon.

Why?

Because these sub levels are actually to keep the regular mining deposits safe.

Safe from what?

Great question my friend. The constant movement of the planet, both on its surface and underground, cause a real threat to mining all the energon that Sentinal needs.

These sub-levels focus on redirecting the incoming shifts and keeping the mines from collapsing in and killing the minors.

But why would Sentinal keep these sub-levels a secret?

Simple really. It’s quite common for bots to die in those mines much much more frequently than in the regular mines. And so if others knew about it, no bot would want to work there.

So what does Sentinal do, because he needs workers?

He takes servo full of younglings and makes them grow up in the conditions of those mines. :D

And because they have never seen anything other than the mines, they usually don’t question things.

Usually.

Anyway so- after real shenanigans happen, Sentinal decides to revamp the whole thing, smth smth- involving Ironhide

It’s still functional- but- uh… just un-usable..? It doesn’t matter- he dies anyway-

Oh! And if the death rate went up significantly in the regular mines, then just remember. Cybertron is always changing. It just so happens that it’s changing a bit irregularly. <3

———

I’m by no means a constructionist, idk what I’m doing but I think, think, that it would look something like this?

I’ll obviously change it as time goes, but I desperately need feedback back on how to map it. Or an actual map of it from the actual film..?

(HOW DO PPL WORLD BUILD SO GOOD??? MASSIVE PROPS TO THEM 🫡🫡🙏🙏🙏🎉🎉🎊🎊)

You know what?

I love you, fics that take months to update. I click on the newest chapter and have no memory of this place and get to go back some chapters and rediscover how much i love everything about this story.

I love you, fics that take years to update. I think of you fondly, and know your names, go search for you and see an update from this year and scream, diving in uncaring of any missed details (i will finish the update and read you in reverse because this is a treat you have bestowed)

I love you, fics that probably will never update again. Thank you for being a roman empire for my mind, thank you for teaching me about the ephemeral fandom experience, for inspiring a thousand million what if-s, for being a comfort read and a nostalgia read and a reread.

I love you fic writers, who jump into projects and stories with enthusiasm. I love you when you succeed in pumping out those chapters and that love doesn't go away when you stop.

I love you fic writers who post and then get in your own head and never feel confident enough to update, whether it's at all or whether it's just that one story.

I love you fic writers, who have a fandom or media hurt you to the point of abandoning or having a hard time with their WIPs.

I love you fic writers, who lose interest or have life changes or illness or bad memory. Thank you for being part of the fandom, a core part of the fandom. Thank you for the time spent in the fandom.

I love you, fic writers who try out something new and then stop. You're so valid.

I love you, WIP fics that may or may not ever get finished. Thank you for brightening my day in the way only you could have.

[lass-us-slay]

I remember finding this fic while scrolling on Ao3, but it only had 2 chapters and it stuck with me the whole time AND THEN I JUST FIND IT ON MY PAGE???

I LOVE YOU TUMBLER 🫶🫶💕💕💖💖🫶

WARM COLOURS IS DONE

... technically.

The official story is DONE but there will be an epilogue. The story gets real dark here because, well, it's Transformers One. Violence and blood and gore and divorce!

Fair warning: my partner actually cried reading this. Have fun!

[lass-us-slay]

I feel like this is something the transformers fandom can make a meme of…

.

.

.

Go my precious.

Make thy memes.

[lass-us-slay]

Everyone grows worried again when they realize how warm Bee is, they think maybe his cooling fans have broken or something. Which is probably a half truth. I think some things inside his frame probably melted in place, he probably has joint issues and such to add to that.

Insert a much needed check up from Ratchet, where he basically just asks how the funk this bot is still alive

-Frowny face anon from earlier

Let’s just say Rachet kept him in the med bay for daayyysss (much to B’s chagrin, he could be out helping his new friends!! He’s got a TON now)

And yea Rachets having a field day trying to make heads or tails of B’s melted circuitry.

“It’s like that mech runs on pure ignorance and stupidity that it’s effected his inner wiring”

-Rachet

And I imagine that B’s inner circuitry did in fact melt together.

…

And that getting a T cog only made it worse.

Cause think about it- now those melted parts are being moved around and cause their melted they just- yk-

Can’t go back to their places.

So if that would mean B has been having body aches every time he transforms, even tho he loves it.

I have so much respect for the people who draw transformers on a regular basis 🫡

(SO SORRY TO ANSWER SO LATE FROWNY FACE 😭)

[lass-us-slay]

Theis is so cuteee 😭💕💕💕💖💖

I hope they put this scene in the sequel. Full Video

[lass-us-slay]

Now imagine bee, now free of sub level 50, always feeling cold, freezing even. Nothing he ever does warms him up. Others grow concerned as he shivers in warm temperatures and becomes no longer functional in cold temps, simply because he's not used to it :((

Omg yes.

Like during their travels to find the matrix of leadership, B is shivering somewhat but it’s manageable because the suns out and is somewhat heating him up. Which is why he chooses to stay in the suns light while the rest decides to be in the shadows.

They’ve had enough of the heat from the mines ✋💀

But I would guess Elite, Orion and Dee dismiss the little clatters of B’s armor, writing it off as him being excited.

That is until they stop and rest, and with the sun gone, the cold settling in. B-127’s armor starts shivering more, which leads to B moving slightly further away from the group to not bother them.

And the next morning they ask, he shrugs saying idk, then they get to the cave with the primes.

Oh boy is B shivering.

The three other exchange glances cause that’s not normal. Yea it’s a little chilly but not freezing!

And then they get their cogs.

B can heat himself up from the inside now cause- transformation cogs allows that! :D

But it’s not enough.

His insides feel a little better with the internal heating, but that sh-t isn’t enough even on the highest setting.

I mean could anything beat the on holly levels of heat from that darn furnace room???

Unless he’s in a volcano? No.

But the internal heating makes B even more cold on the outside because he misses that warmth, that heat that was constantly melting his outsides AND insides from a how close to it he was.

And the first few hours of having the cogs is pure torture for B because now that he’s got some warmth, he needs more but can’t get it.

It was more bearable when he didn’t have any heating except the sun on his frame.

So he distracts himself from it by yapping a lot, more then usual about anything and everything, from the things he learned from the data pads to questions about the surface and Iacon.

And it works yk- even tho the high guard get a little worried when this yapping unconscious bot’s platting is shivering. But they don’t care they just want him to shut up-

But when Sentinel captures them?

Oh boy does that shivering sound so loud in the room.

Like at first Sentinel thinks it’s cause he’s scared, but then Arachnid reminds him it’s that guy that was sent to sub level 50

And Sentinel has this revelation and laughs

Cause he knew that room was a furnace, he just didn’t except the bot to get sent down to a literal smelter to still be alive.

And he’s impressed! But that doesn’t matter-

Anyways what I’m trying to say is, by the end Optimus goes to put a hand on B’s shoulder, and when he lifts it he has a full blown panic attack cause-

DID HE JUST DENT HIS SON FRIEND’S PLATTING?????!??? OH MY PRIMUS IF ITS THIS EASY TO HURT HIS SON FRIEND THEN CAN HE EVEN HUG OR SHOW PHYSICAL EFFECTION????? WHAT HAPPENS IF HE ACCIDENTALLY BUMPS INTO HIM?? WILL HE KILL HIS SON FRIEND??

IF HE CANT HAVE CUDDLES AND HAND HOKDING HE DONT WANT THE MATRIX

FRAG ITS PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE HE WANTS TO SHOW PHYSICAL AFFECTION TO HIS LOVED ONES

IF HE NEEDS TO RIP THIS MATRIX PUT HIS CHASSIS TO BE ABLE TO HUG HIS SON AND FRIENDS THEN SO BE IT

You are an amazing person OP.

I wish thee all the spark.

I made these at work today. I feel I did my vision justice.

Edit: I added tfo Bee, bc he's here now

[lass-us-slay]

If what I’m getting from this is right, and this screen shot speaks for itself

Then does that mean that B-127 had a chance of being the smallest bot on both sides? That is if we say that the cogs of the primes do actively affect their physical bodies to various degrees.

Be it from physical differences from other normal bots or just knowledge that was thrusted into their systems because- Primes.

…how small would B actually be- 🧍‍♀️

(Also Micronus’s description perfectly matches B, I approve 👍)

Transformers one spoilers

In case anyone wanted to know who got who's cog (when Alpha Trion gave them the primes cogs).

According to the novelization:

D-16 got onyx's.

Orion got Prima's,

Elita got Alchemist's,

And B-127 got Micronus's.

Also the novelization ends when Orion tells the high guard to transform and roll out. Like it just stops there.

[lass-us-slay]

So Yk how B-127 is really close to the furnace when we first meet him, and how small the room is?

Well shouldn’t that affect his own metal platting? Cause Yk- Cybertronian’s are technically made out of purely metals and stuff (don’t quote me)

But I did my research (albeit it very small and quick) by using this link

And going off what we know of what happens to metal when we heat it, imma just hc that, yes, Being near the furnace for whoever knows how long has changed B-127’s armor texture and function (?)

I think B would most likely have been thru the annealing process, which basically means his armor is softer and textured.

So like- imagine someone hugging him and being off put by how uncannily soft his platting is on one side and normal-ish on the other side.

Since Yk only the right side of his frame was constantly being beat upon by the intense flames that are hot enough to smelt freaking iron and other metals.

Yk the same things that B is coincidentally is idk- MADE OF??? LIKE B WAS 24/7 365 NEXT TO A DAMN FURNACE CAPABLE OF MELTING NOT ONLY THE TRASH BUT B ASWELL.

And if that was all it would be fine right? But no. Cause Yk what else is being ABSOLUTELY MELTED INTO OBLIVION AND BEYOND??

GLASS.

Because Yk, old data-pads that Sentinal doesn’t want around anymore-

But metal only starts to melt around 1,200 C

But glass? That slagger only starts to melt around 1,400 C

THATS A 200 C DEGREES DIFFERENCE IN THE STARTING POINT OF MELTING FOR THOSE TWO THINGS AND LEMME TELL U THAT 200 C DIFFERENCE IS REAL

AND THATS ONLY LIKE- THE BEGINNING

BECAUSE HELLO THIS TRASH IS MELTING IN LIKE ALMOST AN INSTANT

HOW HOT DOES IT HAVE TO BE??? HOW HOT IS IT IN THAT TINY CRAMPED LITTLE CUBE??

BETTER QUESTION YET-

DOES ORION AND D-16 FEEL THE HEAT WHEN THEY FIRST ENTER THE ROOM???

like- do their systems overheat in the short time their in there?? because of the SHEER heat from the damn furnace that’s TOO FRAGGING CLOSE AND DOESNT HAVE ANY COVERING ON IT TO BLOCK OUT THE HEAT

NOT TO MENTION THAT ROOM PROBABLY DOESNT EVEN HAVE ANY AIR HOLES FOR THE HEAT TO STEADILY ESCAPE FROM AND IS JUST SITTING IN THERE GETTING EVEN MORE HOTTER

SO THAT PROBABLY MEANS THAT THE ROOM ITSELF IS SO MUCH HOTTER THEN THE ACTUAL FURNACE IN THE ROOM

AND THAT DOOR PROBABLY HASNT EVER EVER BEEN OPENED IN YEARS

LIKE- AAARRHRHHSHHGGHHGH IDK WHAT TO MAKW OF THIS REVALATION SO NOW YOU 🫵SUFFER WITH IT TOO

[lass-us-slay]

This gave me brain worms…

But I’m tired so just simple words-

Basically B-127 made a rebellion which almost succeeded in gaining the other minors into the fight and questioning.

Almost.

Transformers One headcanon that Sentinel specifically took T-cogs from bots who would potentially uprise if given the opportunity.

Looking at even a handful of the cogless bots, they’re all characters who become part of the Autobot or Decepticon chain of command. Jazz becomes TIC of the Autobots and one of the best saboteurs ever. Ironhide becomes the weapons specialist and one of Optimus Prime’s inner circle. Prowl becomes SIC and again, one of the bots Prime relies on throughout the war. Elita-1 becomes a commander and leads her own team of elite warriors - all of which we saw as energon miners.

The free thinkers, the dreamers, the loyal, the ambitious, the leaders…the bots who displayed the greatest potential were put in the sub levels so they could latch onto a lie. The lie of a better life, the Cybertronian dream, the ability to make their lives marginally better with the limited opportunities given to them. Sentinel focused their energy to the lie, working them to death in the name of chasing a false dream.

In that life, there’s no time to question things. We saw it with Megatron, one of the more skeptical bots out there. He didn’t question it. He trusted his leader. He worked hard. It got him nowhere.

Sentinel probably learned his mistake with letting Orion Pax wander around as freely as he does. Orion was a troublemaker. Orion defied everything in the name of the greater good. Sentinel could NOT have another Orion on his hands. So B-127 was isolated. B had a similar spark, someone who could create community and be content with community. Content enough to see past the bleakness of his situation to start asking questions. Sentinel couldn’t have more bots asking questions.

As for the Transformers around before the Primes died? Well, energon stopped flowing the minute the Matrix of Leadership returned to Primus. It’s not that far of a leap to tell the populace that Cybertron was sparking incomplete bots. Some of the newborns didn’t have T-cogs because the planet couldn’t produce T-cogs for everyone. Simple luck of the draw. And those bots had no reason to question Sentinel. Why would the Secretary of the Primes lie to them?

Sentinel tried to destroy a generation of leaders and almost succeeded. His fatal mistake was selfishness. He didn’t see the value of those creating communities until Orion Pax was well on his way through the sub level tiers. Sentinel is smart, so he didn’t make that mistake again. But it was too little, too late. Community, caring about others, working for the betterment of all of Cybertron…this was Sentinel’s downfall.
