The Last Crystal

✨Shockwave x Hot Rod/Rodimus head cannons!✨

(Idw continuity)

1). Shockwave is an emotionless scientist who is extremely loyal to lord Megatron. Shockwave does not “fall in love”, he wakes up, works, and then sleeps. His life is a constant stream of work and war… so how did he fall for Rodimus? Welp. Shockwave had been watching Hot Rod for sometime, he was curious about the outlier and had started a project, a project in which he would rip the bot apart and analyze his innards. This of course did not go to plan. He started becoming too curious about Hot Rod in a way he did not think possible. He then bottled up these emotions, ended his research and attempted to never think about it again.

2). So then, how did Hot Rod fall for Shockwave? Good question, not even he really knows. Hot Rod didn’t feel much for Shockwave, he never exactly thought about the guy. This all changed when he was captured by the Decepticons, he was held in isolated cells far from any other prisoners and interrogated everyday. Nothing of interest really happened while he was there… well except for when Shockwave showed up. Hot Rod maneuvered his way into a conversation with the cyclopes and began annoying the hell out of him. Hot Rod found that it was extremely entertaining to bug the scientist. After that Hot Rod started thinking about Shockwave simply, “I like annoying him” but he never thought any more than that.

3). After their first interactions, Shockwave attempted to avoid the speedster and Hot Rod started seeking him out. Hot Rod found that Shockwave was hesitant to kill him and that went to his head very quickly. Hot Rod and Shockwave began talking every time they were on the battlefield, simple witty banter that became inside jokes and full on conversations. Before they knew it they got trapped together inside a collapsing building, they decided to work together and saved each other’s lives. There was a moment after the building had crashed that Shockwave was going to kill Hot Rod but something inside of him fought that thought. He let Hot Rod live and left without another word. This led them down the road of saving each other/sparing one another’s lives.

4). Hot Rod is disgusted by Shockwave, he hates what he has done to the people he loves and he honestly wants him dead. Does that stop his feelings? God he wish it did

5). Shockwave thinks Hot Rod is extremely annoying and obnoxious but that does nothing to stop him from studying the mech and attempting to get alone with him.

6). Shockwave either likes geniuses or dumbasses, he is a bit of a moron sexual. He hates how reckless and selfish Hot Rod is, it fascinates him. He wants to understand Hot Rod because something about the guy just gets under his paneling.

7). Hot Rod likes mechs that are taller than him, smarter than him, and make him laugh. Which he was surprised to learn that Shockwave fits that criteria! Hot Rod is also very into the adrenaline of crushing on a crazed scientist who is trying to kill him.

8). Hot Rod was the first to realize that Shockwave liked him back, he honestly thought it was very obvious but Shockwave thought he was being super clever about hiding his feelings (he doesn’t understand feelings so how would he know how to hide them?). Roddy abused this information by teasing the poor scientist and getting information otherwise impossible to acquire.

9). When Shockwave is in love, he talks a bit more, especially when it comes to the person he is in love with. He thinks about them all the time and that is the worst torture. Shockwave HATES being in love and believes it is something horribly wrong with his processor. He has tried to fix himself multiple times but sadly it never works.

10). Shockwave is extremely protective, he wants to be the one to kill Hot Rod, not some random soldier! He is a bit of a yandere, he wants to kill any autobot who even touches Hot Rod. This of course is unintentional, Shockwave has no idea that is what he’s doing. It would be illogical to do such a thing, and yet he doesn’t know how to stop. The mer idea of someone else with Hot Rod drives Shockwave mad. These feelings are not shown as Shockwave has a wonderful poker face (LOL) but he still does feel this way regardless if it is obvious or not.

11). Neither side knows about their secret love affair. Hot Rod and Shockwave have dated other people/slept with people whilst still being in love. They still hate each other and know that they can’t be together so they pine forever and attempt to fill the gap. The only other person who knows about their feelings is Ravage. The wreckers also kinda noticed, but they don’t think it’s love, they kinda just think that they are arch nemesis’s.

12). Hot Rod has a weird fascination with Shockwaves hands. Roddy was hurt on the battlefield once and Shockwave was in a situation where he had to help him for his own safety. Shockwave patched the speedster up and Hot Rod had noticed how gentle Shockwaves hands could truly be. Since then Hot Rod dreamed about holding his hand.

13). Both Hot Rod and Shockwave despise touch. Hot Rod thinks intimacy of any kind is weird, he doesn’t like feeling all fuzzy inside it grosses him out. Hot Rod likes being a bit of a slut he doesn’t like actual love. So simple soft touches make him flinch and freak out. Shockwave is the same but without the slut part, Shockwave hates being in love and touches like hugs, hand holding, and kisses on the check are the worst. But for some reason neither of them seem to care when it comes to the other. Shockwave feels less uncomfortable with Hot Rod than anyone else and Hot Rod feels the same, in fact he wants all those soft cute touches (as long as it’s Shockwave who’s doing it).

14). Shockwave is extremely self conscious about his Empurata but only when he realizes he can’t kiss Roddy. Shockwave has an oral fixation, he himself does not have a mouth, but that very fact makes him very interested in other peoples mouths. He wants to kiss Roddy so bad that it makes him uncomfortable when his lack of mouth is brought up.

15). They have slept together ONCE. And that was it. They had one opportunity to be together and they took it. That night went on forever and they loved every second. Sadly it did end and they would never get the chance to do it again. Roddy never brings it up and neither does Shockwave. But of course they think about it as often as they can.

16). Shockwave hates the idea of starting a family and so does Roddy.

17). Shockwave likes work. That is his hobby. But, Roddy was the one to introduce him to human chess and he has been hooked ever since. Especially multidimensional chess.

18). Shockwave and Hot Rod have very few ways of communicating. So they made a secret system where they would send encrypted codes to one another to determine a place and time to meet up. Usually it’s to talk or to fight, but they do secretly meet up (This is much later in their relationship and stops when the war ends)

19). Shockwave doesn’t know how he feels about Hot Rod becoming Rodimus. Perhaps he doesn’t care, he honestly might just miss him.

20). Once the lost light started, the two never spoke again. They think about each other constantly, but that is all it is, a distant sad thought.

@littlebeanalien thanks for the idea!!

Hello 🌟🌟🌟 I love your blog!!! If it is possible, can I request a stimboard for IDW Rodimus, he is my comfort character :>

MTMTE Rodimus Prime

omg! i was working on a board for him when i got this request!! rodimus star for everyone reading ☆ ～('▽^人)

X X X | X X X | X X X

[driftsart]

hiii!! I'm new to your page but I already LOVEE YOUR ART, you're so talented like omg. on that note, I was wondering if you had hot rod/Rodimus in your au?? and if so what the story for him might be?

Thank you!! Yes I do have Hot Rod! Here's a sneak peek of the ref sheet :D

Idk how you'll feel about this but Hot Rod's a girl in my au (I'm sry I rarely genderbend characters but she was a special occasion have these flowers as an apology 😭💐)

Here's some info! ⬇️

She's one of the younger autobots, and one of the only ones that isn't afraid to stand up to Sentinel. When she was rescued as a sparkling, she was assigned to Ultra Magnus, taking care of her was supposed to help him have patience and calm the terrible temper he had. Even though she acts rebellious and defiantly towards Sentinel and Optimus, she respects Ultra Magnus and sees him as a father figure.

The matrix chose her as the next Prime but she keeps refusing, saying that she doesn't want to end up like Optimus and doesn't want Sentinel to rule through her like he's been doing with Optimus. She, Bumblebee, and some other young autobots have also been searching and digging deeper into Sentinel's past and things he's done, and Sentinel doesn't like it.

Colors at the end (when she learns the truth and fights):

She's super important to the story (especially at the end ;>)

[pinkanonwrites]

I actually love Knightformers Screamer with a fairy, and the angst is amazing omg 🫶 Anyway, this is SB (me) approved

- 🎆

Thank you thank you! I'm hanging your seal of approval up on the fridge with a magnet. 😊

There's so many potential angles for angst with Starscream and a fairy reader. Unlike Rodimus, who can be overly possessive but generally means well and wants well for a fairy companion, Starscream sees you far more as his property than anything else once he's captured you. If you're obedient he can be a bit more lenient, but he still takes a particular pleasure in frightening you and reminding you of your place.

If you aren't in the bottle around his neck, you're in a cage. He's got one in his private chambers and one hanging in the command room, directly next to his seat at the war table. But should he catch one of his trine mates staring just a bit too curiously at you, or Laserbeak trying to squeeze his beak through the gaps in the bars, you're right back into the bottle or, better yet, in his clenched hand.

I think, very, very rarely, you get a glimpse of a softer Starscream. It's not that his usual behavior is a front or anything (far from it) but sometimes after a particularly rough battle or a visit from Skyfire he's just too tired to be as overly cruel with you. You know you shouldn't feel anything but contempt for him, hatred for the way he manhandles and threatens you... But still.

And then he sees you looking at him with those big, soft eyes, and a scowl crawls its way up his face. "I don't need your pity." He spits. "Don't forget where you are right now."

[tinydefector]

*jumps in again* i love how you write and im starting to feel like a bother to request some more😭 but but if you don't mind, ultra magnus x gn! reader where he's scolding them for being reckless and sneak off to go meteor surfing with Rodimus. He's not mad, just worried sick for em then reader just storms off and he didn't bother to chase after em, wanting to give them space.

Later, he bumped into Megatron and had a lil chat when Megs pointed out how Magnus is treating reader like his kid(sparkling). Mags denies it but then later connects the dot, like "omg, he's kinda right" que to him went off to find reader which in their room, distracting themselves with some work and he apologize for yelling and vice versa with reader for sneaking out.

Also, if you want, you can add like a bonus bit at the end where Mags praise reader for the excellent report they turned in and reader accidentally say "thanks dad" make it worse if some bot was around when they said that *cough* roddy *cough*

RULES OF PARENTING

Took me longer than expected to write this out.

Platonic/ Parent and child with Ultra Magnus and Cybertronian Reader. Slight hints to Megatron x Ultra Magnus as a treat.

Other information I decided to write the reader as an Outlier but their ability, form and everything else is left up for the reader to decided themself. Other than the fact they are the youngsters on ship and smaller than the larger bots nothing else is stated.

Ultra Magnus Masterlist

______________________

laughter comes from around the corner, Rodimus and his friend bolt through the ship. "Keep up Rods!" The younger bot yells out. Their hoverboard is servo while they both bolt towards the shipping bay. It wasn't often the two got the opportunity to go asteroid surfing.

Rodimus hurries after, pushing his engines to keep pace through the twisting ship corridors. His intake splits in a fierce grin.

"Hey, wait up!" he calls back, At the threshold they transform, Rodimus jumps onto his board, taking off into the asteroid field. "Alright runt, you asked for it!" Blue optics glint with loving malice. "First to finish a loop and back wins! Loser takes the others reports."

He peels out with a throaty roar, engine howling, not waiting for the start. Cheating? Maybe, but racing was war, and all was fair in love and circuits blown! Let the games begin.

"Your on Roddy!" They shout back at Rodimus before taking a leap out onto their hoverboard. "Wooooooohhhhhoooo" the shout out. They both tear out of the shipping bay on their hoverboard, darting nimbly between support struts like a razorwing on the hunt. Their wild grin is audible even without comlink.

Rodimus bellows a rival cry, engine snarling as he rockets through the asteroids in a shower of blue sparks. Every sensor hones to the night-shadowed chase before him, picking out the board's glints between outcroppings as their rider zig-zags across the field like liquid mercury. Shouts of challenge fly between them over the comms, goading fierce competition.

Adrenaline sings in Rodimus' lines as he closes the gap, swerving within reach, laughter falls from the two as they race and chase each other. Two kindred spirits living utterly within the moment, simply living for the speed and freedom the stars grant.

From the command centre, Megatron observes the asteroid field feed with keen optic. Movement on the edges draws his gaze - two familiar signatures darting nimbly amid the tumbling rocks, weaving hazardous loops and stunts with the heedless abandon of youth.

A low growl rumbles in his powerful frame at their recklessness and endangerment. But watching closer, caught by flickering motions on the monitor, even his hardened spark must soften.

Laughter crackles through the open commlines as they toss chunks at each other in joyful battle, dancing dangerously along the rim. It sparks memories of ages past, when he himself was prone to such reckless ventures in the mines.

He returns grimly to his charts. But the ghost of a smile still plays about unyielding faceplates, echoing wild laughter across the stars. The loud steps of Ultra Magnus making his way towards command has megatron debating. "Rodimus, I'd recommend you both make your way back to ship, less you want Magnus to lecture you again" He calls out, trying to make sure Ultra Magnus doesn't catch them.

Through the open comm, Rodimus and the other bot share a look of mingled dread and mischief at Megatron's ominous warning. Their daredevil games come with risks.

"Slag it, it's Mags," hisses Rodimus. "We better scram before he throws the book at us!"

Their laughter follows, swerving nimbly aside as Rodimus roars past in a spray of grit. "Like he ever lets us have any fun! Race you back, slowpoke!" With that taunt, they gun their board, kicking up plumes of dust under newly ignited thrusters.

Rodimus snarls a challenge, punching his engine into overdrive to give chase. Though his massive frame handles with ungraceful power, the Captain drives with a fearless intensity rivalled only by Megatron himself in his glory days. "You're on!" He shouts at them.

From the bridge, Megatron watches their mad dash with a derisive snort. Fools to the last, but at least they snatched excitement where they found it, consequences be damned. A trait he can almost respect, Rodimus is a wild sparked bot and the young bot wasn't much better taking after the Prime as if they were batch mates. But Rodimus was fiery protective of them and that's all Megatron could ask.

As Magnus walks in he glitches out when he sees the two bots bolt across the asteroids on hoverboards. Magnus' commanding boom fills their comm channels, causing them both to flinch. "By Primus What are you two doing!, Do you understand the danger you are putting yourself in, not to mention protocol!" He shouts

"That sounds like Big Mags alright," chuckles Rodimus, danger-circuits alight. He guns his engine recklessly, tempting providence with stunts that wring pained static from Magnus' voice.

Beside him, the other bot is all bravado, doing tricks that ought to terminate mere mortals. "Lighten up Mags, we're just having fun!, Megatron's providing supervision" Their laugh is wildly carefree as they swerve through spiralling space debris, back to the shipping bay.

Magnus' reply is a wordless warp of wrath and protocols violated. On the bridge, Megatron observes with sardonic amusement.

Their elated whoops echo into the sullen ship as the two bots land, laughter is passed between them both, they knew they were in for a lecture but neither of them could really care at that moment. They both make their way through the ship.

Megatron watches as Magnus starts having a meltdown, seeing the smaller bot out in the asteroids.

From the command deck, Megatron observes Magnus' escalating tirade with sardonic amusement.

The security director paces like a caged turbofox, field frothing with protocol violations as he excoriates Rodimus and his cohort.

"Reckless endangerment of themselves! Disregard for safety protocols!, I expect this from Rodimus but not from them!" Magnus huffs, massive hands clenching and unclenching. His plating vibrates with barely contained voltage.

Megatron's red optics follow the scene with cynical mirth. It seems some things never change, no matter the millennia - law-bound enforcers and daredevil upstarts will always clash.

He cuts off Magnus' tirade oft. "Let the youngsters play. A little uncontrolled chaos now and then builds character. They aren't causing any harm, primus knows they could be doing worse things, circuit boosters, waging wars" His chuckles.

When Rodimus and the young bot make their way through the halls Megatron and Ultra Magnus are making their way towards them. And Rodimus decides to tease them over getting in trouble.

"Well well, look who's in trouble now," he rumbles, teasingly as he nudges the other bot. One massive hand snakes out to gently tweak an audial fin, eliciting a stubbornly stifled giggle.

They try to swat him off, armour fluffing out in a mock display of aggression. "Back off toaster, you're one to talk!" But their field reflects only playful antagonism toward their mismatched partner in crime.

Rodimus laughs, low and smooth. "Oh, I'm not the one Magnus has his pelts in a twist over. You're the lawbreaker here, delinquent." He buffs their chevron condescendingly with a knuckle plate. 

Magnus' grumbles as moves closer. The younger of the two delinquents makes a startled peep, ducking behind Rodimus for scant protection. Their field sparks with mischief and apprehension in equal measure.

Rodimus' engine rumbles a chuckle. "Face your punishment like a mech, squirt. I'll see you in the brig... cause i know thats where im heading" And with that, he steps aside, leaving the young to the Security Director's.

"Rodimus you sell out!" They hiss, Rodimus takes off running before transforming and disappearing around the corner.

Magnus begins going off over both their stupidity and the danger that they had put themselves in.

"Rodimus! When i catch you!" Magnus bellows, at the retreating autobot. His field boils with tightly restrained indignation.

The younger spreads their servos innocently, though poorly banked fires still smoulder behind their smug optics. "What? I was just having a little fun."

"Fun? You call endangering yourself and flouting safety protocols fun?".

"Do you have any idea the liability you've incurred with your selfish stunts?" Magnus huffes, he's not angry just disappointed.

"We were just blowing off some steam. No harm done" they try to defend themself, it was harder when Rodimus wasn't here to back them up.

Magnus optics bulging. "The rules exist to protect life! One mistaken twist could've terminated you both. Do you not understand that" He looms over them, servos gripping their shoulder plating. "Explain yourself. What do you have to say for putting yourself in harms way like that, this is something i expect from Rodimus but you, im drawing a line, no more hoverboard"

"Magnus I'm not a sparkling!, I can have fun, you can't just take my board!." The huff out in anger, "we didn't do anything bad, we just went asteroid surfing, what's the big deal!, Megatron was watching the whole time!" They shout stopping their pedes on the ground as they squint at the enforcer. Magnus' jaw works soundlessly, circuitry spluttering at such blatant insubordination.

Megatron's low rumble cuts through the charging tension.  "Easy there, scraplet. Magnus they are right they aren't sparkling, let them enjoy their youth" he states trying to calm down the situation.

"That is NOT the point!" Magnus hisses through clenched denta, glowering down at the insolent youngster. But the outliers field remains resolute, tiny hands fisted on hip joints. A sigh like rupturing turbines escapes Megatron where he observes, unseen, from command. Stubborn fools the both of them.

Magnus flashes incandescent, but dares not defy a direct order. With stiff, grinding steps, he departs, field boiling.

Only the younger bot and Megatron remain.  "Rules exist to guide, not imprison. Life's greatest lessons often arise from...bending them, on occasion. Try not to give Magnus a spark attack please" Megatron states while standing waiting for them to walk with him.

"I know Megs but he's been up my Tailpipe over everything I do, reports not being right, having fun, primus I can't even hang out with Rodimus without him getting grumbly at me, 'don't do that, don't do this, no you can't go out on this planet it's too dangerous ' he's not my Sire! "  They hiss out in anger, plating rattling lightly from pent up frustration.

Megatron chuckled. He strides the corridor in heavy, purposeful pauldrons, field enveloping smaller frame protectively. "Take it from one who knows - authority stems more from fear, you're the youngest on board, it's only natural that older mech's will try and protect you. Though I do believe Magnus does need to take a step back"

Red optics regard the young mech keenly. "Stand tall. Pursue your passions . And should he overstep, remind him in no uncertain terms who you are. Your strong sparked"

He crouches fluidly before them , digit gentle as steel beneath a chin. "You were made for greatness, little one. Never forget, don't let him stifle your youth, but try not to make him short circuit" A ferocious grin spreads across their face before they take off down the halls.

Ultra Magnus sits in his office, the enforcer's helm is pressed to his servos as he lets out a groan, he has overstepped.

Megatron's mass fills the security office like encroaching gloom, eclipsing what little light permeates the sparse, regulation-bound space. Magnus senses the ex warlord's intrusive field and looks up wearily through digits.  

"What do you want, Megatron?" The enforcer's usually stalwart voice holds only exhaustion. Heavy pedes carry Megatron before the desk, where he looms over Magnus imperiously. Yet when he speaks, his tone resembles dark mirth more than threat.

"Come now, Director. Is one impudent youngster truly more than you can handle?" Crimson optics gleam with sardonic amusement. "Your methods lack finesse. Rebellious sparks respond better to understanding than oppression."

Magnus' field flares defensively. "With respect, keeping order is rather outside your expertise. Some of us prioritise crew safety over spectacle."

One of Megatron's digits raises Magnus' chin, forcing optic contact. "Order through fear is a leash, not leadership. True power stems from willing allegiance, not force alone. It took me along time to learn that Ambus"

"Energon for thought. Now if you'll excuse me, I have more orders I need to read through to make sure Swerve isn't trying to order EnerGULP or Biofuel to try and fake as Energex " he states while beginning to type away on the data pad.

"Megatron, they are reckless and going to get themself off-lined or worse" Magnus tried to argue back.

"Ambus you'd be rather harsh to them, they are young, I'm aware of that, but you're treating them as if they are your sparkling" Megatron states. As the enforcer's optics go wide Megatron stifles a chuckle.

Magnus meets Megatron's scarlet gaze with quiet defiance. "My role is keeping order on this ship, not coddling delinquents." 

"Yet it seems you have been coddling one rather too much, they are at that stage, if you keep a lock and chain on them they are going to rebel,be glad it's only Rodimus, Tailgate and Drift they tend to be with. Would you rather they be around DJD" Megatron asked with a raised optic.

"Absolutely Not!" Magus shouts.

"My point stands Ambus, perhaps spend some time with them, learn what they enjoy doing, they are rebelling because they don't have the option, they are stuck in a ship with nothing to do, they see Rodimus as friend, batch mate." are his parting words. Magnus watches Megatron's departing form with troubled optics and churning processor. His counsel, however cryptic, raises discomfiting points...

With a heavy ex-vent, Magnus pulls up files on the youngsters in question. The youngest and Rodimus - one a scrappy outlier, the other a wild spark flouting authority at every turn a prime. Opposites yet drawn together like magnets. Why was he so invested in protecting this little outlier

They young outlier sits in their suite, sulking. After the fight with Magnus they had decided it was easier just not being around other bots, they had shot Rodimus a quick message stating that they wanted to be left alone for the rest of the cycle.

They fidget with their data pad huffing in annoyance as they try to fill out their reports.

When the doors open and they see Magnus they grumble. "What do you want?"

Magnus stands silent in the doorway, emanating not wrath but uncertainty. His field broadcasts a cautious olive branch amid pulsing regret. "May I enter?" His tone holds none of the usual stern command, 

When they shrug off tired assent, Magnus steps within cautiously, a massive frame filling the space.

Optics rove the bare walls and solitary form, glimpsing an existence circumscribed not by choice but necessity. His tanks churn anew. How had he failed to see the cages, invisible yet profound, binding errant sparks aboard this vessel?

Gingerly Magnus lowers himself to one knee, meeting their averted gaze evenly. "I came to apologise," he rumbles slowly. "My conduct toward you and Rodimus has been...regrettable, I'm sorry."  

The young outlier watches guardedly, searching that earnest regard for signs of tyranny or deceit. Magnus also acknowledges his protectiveness and worry over the younger cybertronian.

A sigh escapes Magnus' vents, massive shoulders slumping. "You must understand, my role demands ensuring all under my protection remain safe and functional."

"Then why do you treat me differently?" They shoot back. Magnus goes quiet for a moment. His optics hold a gentle light as they find the younger bots. " When I see you, youthful audacity, venturing into dangers I endured long ago...it stirs memories best left buried. I watch the war wipe out so many sparklings,  outliers taken and used for war"

His field pulses rueful ghosts of harsher times. "I never meant to curb your spirit, only shield you from hard lessons learned too soon." Massive fingers lightly brush an audial fin in a gesture both paternal and penitent.

"Perhaps...I allowed duty to eclipse my function as guardian to all aboard." A bittersweet smile tugs at plating. "Megatron, of all mechs, said i needed to step back"  

Optics meet in earnest appeal. "If you'll permit it, I wish to walk a new path, try and be better, it won't stop my worry but you don't deserve to be caged ." His field pulses only patience, regret and stubborn care worn soft by wisdom's dawning light. Care for the future of this young bot.

"I know I'm a young spark, but I'm not a sparkling Ultra Magnus, I know I'm the youngest on ship but I'm not a sparkling " they states quietly. The two sit beside each other.

Magnus nods solemnly, settling beside the young mech and curling his field around their smaller frame protectively.

"You are right. I treated you as one much younger, when your spark burns as fiercely as any aboard." A massive hand rests gently on a plated shoulder.

His gaze holds Tiny's earnestly. "From this moment, consider me not a jailer but guardian here to ensure your path remains lighted, not bar it. To advise and shelter, if you'll have me, I... I will try not to short circuit over your dangerous activity." A beat of silence as understanding passes unspoken between them. Then Magnus offers a small, indulgent smile.

"I've much to learn as well, little one. I'm sorry, I have been as Rodimus calls it a stick in the mud" he states and it makes the younger burst out laughing.

"Can you help me with these reports, I'm struggling with understanding what you want, the words keep moving around and I just don't understand" they state while holding out the data pad. Magnus leans in closer slowly reading over everything before trying to break it down for the outlier.

Things are peaceful for once between them, he helps with the small things and realises a lot in that time. But when he does eventually leave he catches a small slip up from them. "Thanks Sire" they call out, it makes him stiffen but a smile crosses his face as he leaves, he wouldn't tell anyone how it made him feel. 

[callsign-relic]

Love the idea of a human being cat size equivalent Rodimus in first contact au. Mech. Drift cuddling traumatized human to his chasis(it's trying to climb up and over) as he trys to wrangle a traumatized Roddy.

The whole crew is looking on as Drift is gently taking them to Ratchet to check them out. They're changing colors from their atrempts to dodge Roddy

That’s not my personal preferred size but it is still cute! I don’t have much to say on this honestly but omg little Minimus is cute

[mychlapci]

RODICLASH I LOVE THAT SHIP OMG

If we’re gonna talk about it… Thunderclash with a humiliation kink? He loves it when Rodimus makes fun of him during sex, and spits on him and calls him a pig.

Then afterwords (because sexy aftercare is important) they clean each other off in the shower while making out and Rodimus saying the dumbest shit while Thunderclash swoons

- Nameless Anon

oh yes Thunderclash with a humiliation kink is a gigabrained idea. Rodimus could say truly disgusting things, step on his spike and make him lap up his own transfluid and Thunders is just hopelessly turned on and puppy-eyed, even agreeing with everything Rodimus says. He's just so happy to be Rodimus' dirty little piggy <3

[phoenixisobsessed]

For the cat redraws, can you do 28 as Rodimus (IDW)?

Mew? (Original post: Here)

Ong I drew him so vibrant, like he’s SUPPOSED to be, but I always add a lil filter over them that make them look more IN the picture?? But for this one specifically I really love the vibrant one so extra under the cut ;3

Also HUUUUGE SHOUTOUT to @novafire-is-thinking (sorry for tag but ong I am so thankful) because for the first time in a while I REALLY ENJOYED drawing this one. All because I didn’t have to spend like 30 minutes desperately searching for less than ideal reference pictures. I AM FOREVER THANKFUL TO THE REFERENCES. I won’t tag you again, promise, but just this time because omg :,) It’s amazing and I wanna really express my gratitude.

(Btw guys please send more asks 🙏🙏 thanks)

Me: I’ve done a lot of studying today, let me do one of the easier ones.

Foreshortening: Haiii!!! X3

[cozzzynook]

May I offer you some MiniMegs?

Minimus sneaks into Megatron's office late at night trying not to wake up the Co-Captain. He then climbs on top of the desk before turning into his Alt-Mode, curling up along Megatron's neck and shoulders while he gently nuzzlings his cheek.

The pair love to snuggle and when ever Meg's has a late shift, Roddy can often find Minimus in his Alt-Mode curled up while purring away. Rodimus secretly takes photo's while gently placing one of the spare blankets over them.

Who knows maybe he can join their snuggle pile one day. :)

Oxkkskwpaksoakzkskka

They deserve to do this!!!!!

Minimus feels so comfortable as a turbo fox with Megs and Roddy.

He curls up on Rodimus’s tanks when he lays down because of how warm he is and he wraps around Mega neck like a scarf because he is in love with his mates scent.

Omg i love this idea.

Roddy definitely gets Turbo fox lap jumps that leads to Minimus pressing his paws against his chassis and curling up against him with Roddy holding him like a toddler sparkling lol. The mech is just so comfortable and warm and Minimus loves to climb Megs like a cyber tress. He can even naw on him since Megs has thick metal.

He also loves burying himself into Megs frame where he can fit. So megs has to be careful when he moves after waking up because chances are Minimus is sleeping in him lol

A cursed thought occurred to me: if you combine rodiclash and megarod it maps ridiculously well to a YA novel love triangle

You know those "if Netflix adapted this, here's how it would suck" aus? It's extremely funny for me to think about how this would go if it was a standard YA fantasy trilogy

Rodimus is the "strong female character" YA protagonist that gets called annoying in critical reviews for having personality traits, while simultaneously being criticized as a mary sue blank slate with no personality

Thunderclash is the objectively nicer but "boring" love interest with less screen time, who either gets quietly written out or suddenly has his personality jerked around in the second book so that people like him less

Megatron is the dark and brooding love interest that's clearly a dick in the first book but is obviously the author's favorite, so he gets a tragic backstory and more character development than everyone else in the series

(If it was an anime, Drift would be the same-gender best friend character that a small subset of fans argue had more chemistry with Rodimus than either of the love interests)

Omg nooo (yess)

It's such a parody piece idea

I feel like it should be an anime just for the sake of the teased Driftrod plotline (what would The Fans think of Dratchet?)

Rodimus should be the unreliable narrator too, I don't usually read first person fics but this feels like an amazing time for it

I have quite literally never read the aus you're talking about, but I get the vibe here

[yoayoaa]

This is my first ask, so im sorry if it’s confusing at all, buuut…

Hear me out on a little comfort drabble perhaps? Maybe Rodimus (MTMTE) is comforting the reader after a big move or a generally big change in the readers life! It’s a little self indulgent but… comfort character things i guess hehehe

If that doesn’t work, maybe just a little bit misfire content? :0!!!

No worries if neither one work!! I love your writing quite a lot ^^

Omg IM SORRY THIS TOOK SO SO LONG 😭😭AND NO WORRIES YOUR REQUEST WASNT CONFUSING! (I hope i wrote the drabble correctly ) and thank you for liking my writings!

Prompt: Rodimus comforting a reader who just had a big move in their life

Warnings: none, no pronouns used in this for the reader!

Notes: im not gonna use any y/n, just "you" And this is ridiculously short 💀

"Are you doing well?" Rodimus asked, optics held a look of concern as he looked at you. "Well, im just not used with the big change is all...I was just so used to the environment back home, guess I wasnt fully ready for the big change" You replied while you hugged your knees to your chest.

"It might seems or feels weird, especially since you've adapted to the everyday environment. But hey! You'll adapt here soon as well!" He said trying to lighten the mood. Which seems to work as you looked at him, a little smile present at your face.

"You sure?" You asked. "Positive! Just take your time and you'll slowly adjust to living here!" Rodimus cheerfully replied. You let out a chuckle, "Thanks Rodimus, I really needed that." He patted your head with his digit while he smiles at you "Anytime!"

Rodimus, Drift, Tailgate, Skids with a sleepy S/O!

Containing; Rodimus, Drift, Tailgate, and skids!

___ is gender neutral and can be looked at as either human or Cybertronian

Warning; slight cursing.

Rodimus;

He honestly doesn't mind if your mostly sleepy. He kinda enjoys just sleeping around you at times as well. He honestly empathizes and sometimes wish to be as sleepy as you. (He wouldn't really. He is too energetic)

He does encourage you to have decent sleep schedule though! He wishes the best for you and doesn't want you to constantly be drained. He needs another goofball like him to hang around yk?

The biggest benefit he has is his amazing sleep that he gets. Since your mostly sleepy all the time, you would definitely get the most comfortable bed on the whole galaxy.

At times he will just lay down with you and just rant about things that have been bothering him that day. (Ultra Magnus) He also Enjoys hearing about your day as well!

Drift;

He honestly understands where you come from. He honestly wants to sleep all the time as well but knows better. He can't even begin to imagine how awful you feel when waking up in the morning.

Drift recommends that you wake up around the same ish time as him so you two can do whatever when Drift is done doing his dutys after the day. But he doesn't necessarily force you either.

I feel like he would enjoy just meditateing with you on him in some way. He would encourage you to meditate as well at night if you have hard time sleeping at night after waking up in the evening.

Tailgate;

Would 100 percent be down with it. I feel like he gets overwhelmed a lot so just going towards your room and just laying there helps him calm down for a while. He enjoys whenever you comfort him until both of you go to sleep or the other.

His only complaint is how much you really don't come out your dark room much. Sure he likes staying in there, but when it comes to outside, he needs someone to help him come out his little turtle shell.

Whenever you do come out of your room though, it's a miracle. He always has a arm or hand on you, clung onto you like a koala. He loves whenever you talk to him outside because he can finally socialize with other people since he feels most comfortable around you.

Skids;

He fucking hates it. Omg does he hate it. This hyper man baby is bouncing off the walls at any moment. He honestly questions how he asked you out since you seem to sleep all the time or just a lot.

Definitely touch starved so expect for him to be glued to you at all times whenever he isn't roaming the Lost light. So he is 50/50 when it comes to how sleepy you are.

Drags you through the Lost Light making you meet his new friends that he has met. He does love your effort to make him happy through and appreciates it even if he doesn't actually say it.

I am deprived of reaction fics omg I NEED MOAR

but honestly i kinda need one where IDW bots just react to Cyberverse, CAUSE THE AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THOSE 2 UNIVERSES OPMG ITS INSANE

This shit has been in my head for an ungodly amount of time its just been a month but im just being dramatic

its just that they're so different from each other idw just gets baffled from it, like wdym the other universe' war has been going for more than 66+ million years??? and the whole Ark crew slept through it?? Hotrod and Bumblebee being the most inseparable best friends ever and are menaces to society?? Bumblebee lost both his memories and voice by the hands of megatron?!?! Optimus was a data clerk and not a cop?? DRIFT TRIED TO STOP TEAM HOTROD FROM REACHING THE WELL OF THE ALLSPARKS BY TRYING TO KILL THEM AND PARTIALLY SUCCEDED?!??!?well not really, hotrod killed him and himself by dragging him in the toxic energon puddle thing i forgot what was called

i can feel the deep jealousy Rodimus would have on Hotrod's much better relationship with Optimus cause he's actually getting trained and prepared to be a good leader and wasn't instantly thrown into the leader position, but then again i feel he would just brush it off, knowing his other self got a better mentor

BUT then again also, Hotrod would just laugh and then do the most outrageous shit ever with bumblebee, like that one time when they joined various gangs of sharkticons when they went Space surfing and passed out cold, Rodimus' jaw just dropping at the amount of freedom they have to goof around more than him

it like doesnt even have to be a reaction fic, i just need both universes to meet

cause holy goodness gracious i love these both sm

Omg Adult!Rodimus starting to get into the dating scene and which ever poor bot is dating him having to contend with not only Megatron but Optimus as well. “ Aye my creators will love you! You’ll be fine” Sunstreaker and Sideswipe hiding behind their boyfriend as he introduces them and the tow mechs are like “ HOLY shit those are your parents.”

“Carrier we’ve talked about this please don’t scare them off with your fushion cannon like the last time!”

Optimus is in active reform because he already got prickly about Bumblebee dating Breakdown and Bumblebee staged an intervention for him about adult boundaries

Meanwhile Megatron grew up under an oppressive regime and then created his own oppressive regime where everyone manipulated and backstabbed each other all the time so he's like "No sparkling of mine is going to stop me from giving their prospective partners the shovel talk. You hurt my progeny, I will end your bloodline."

Optimus cautiously approaches Megatron with a PTSD workbook.

[whatwooshkai]

Omg I’m loving your new fic but I’m new to the fandom so I have no idea how everyone’s new looks are supposed to look like and it’s driving me crazy. Do you have any references for how you picture them in your head?

Long post warning!!

I was hoping for this question, lmao.

Megatron's design is based off tf earthspark, but he's got the scar over his optic because I wanted to pay homage to prime wars megatron, who is my absolute favorite iteration of megatron

There's lot of Optimus designs I like that I combined into his, but he's based mostly off tfp and g1.

Starscream is based off his idw version.

Bumblebee is based off a mix of his idw and earthspark designs.

Ratchet's based off his g1 design, and Drift is based off his idw design.

Knockout and Breakdown are based of their tfp designs.

Shockwave and Wheeljack are based off their cyberverse designs, with a mix of earthspark for Wheeljack's accent

Hot Rod is based off Rodimus in idw, and Soundwave is based off his design in cyberverse.

Ultra Magnus is based off his idw design (though not quite as big)

I think that's pretty much it for all the major speaking characters, let me know if there's anyone else!
