motorcity / transformers crossover my beloved . . . I cannot stop thinking about it. Ah heck. Just gonna mumble about it over here untagged for a bit.

Mike and Dutch tow a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse back to the Burner’s garage. *Admiring oohs and aahs all around from the gang of automobile enthusiasts.* In the early twenty first century, that Bugatti model was one of the fastest street legal cars in the world. This particular vehicle has several incomprehensible mods going on under the hood, components that none of the Burners have ever seen before. And the parts that are recognizable are just - wrong.

Chuck opens the fuse box and stares in bafflement at the segmented metal plates stacked neatly in the place of actual fuses.

“The battery doesn’t have terminals,” Julie says. “I’m not even sure it’s a battery.”

Texas leans in next to them and taps the engine block with a wrench “I don’t need to understand how the dang thing works to use it! Let’s just take this out and hook it up to Stronghorn, Dutch!”

The Burners are shoved back as the car somehow flexes and bends. The hood of the Bugatti snaps shut with a firm clack. And it drives away.

*cue chase sequence at over 200 mph ending with a disgruntled Drift transforming and declaring their driving to be “truly remarkable for organics”*

#God the places this could go #This is in some ambiguous au timeline of my own and a half baked understanding of the mtmte and lost light comics #but drift has already defected from the decepticons and been trained by the circle of light #He somehow ended up on earth pre-apocalypse #and he went into stasis to conserve power prior to being woken up by the burners #A currently factionless mech disillusioned with the war encounters scrappy rebels whose oppressor #reminds him both of Megatron - of swearing an oath to a cause he believed in only to watch the cause become endless violent destruction -#But also of the worst excesses of the autobot golden age #the gleaming towers of wealth and prosperity forever barred to the guttermechs like him down in the Dead End #Aaaaaahhhhhh
