#HighGuard

[thepastyman]

I got new armour for LARP and it's so much lighter than my reenactment kit it's unreal. I'm wearing maile under that and I still feel like I could do a cartwheel!

League: How did it feel, losing Spiral?

Urizen: How does it feel, being a little bitch?

League:

Highguard: They’ve got you there.

Used as practice

[crumb-crumblet-s-crumbington]

the highguard meet their biggest fan

[tracklessreason]

Not opposed to the idea of Deceptibee, but I feel like it's not angsty enough, so let's make it worse.

Bee leaves with Megatron when he and the highguard are banished, and things are OK for a while. Bee is still a bit of a bumbling mess (pun intended), but the decepticons can't really do anything about it because he's with Megatron.

Megs is getting stressed though. Leadership is tough, a lot is expected of him, and he needs to be a lot more mature, which doesn't work so well with Bee fucking about next to him all the time. Megs starts to feel that Bee is just like Optimus; reckless, accident prone...weak.

He's growing more and more bitter as time passes, and Bee goes from being a friend, to being a reminder.

Its not too long after that when Bee messes up again, says something he shouldnt have, and Megatron is out of patience. He's done saving Bee too.

When the autobots find Bee, he's in shock. Eyes wide and absent, sat in the middle of an abandoned base with energon oozing from his throat. They take him back home, and he doesn't say a word.

Not that he could if he wanted to.

Starpax reincarnation au, the video explains itself.

Clips from Tf one, Armada, animated, Prime and G1

Past lives Sapientdream.

I know very well this song could also suit Megop but Starpax, Starop fans need feeding to.

If you need an explanation

Orion has been captured by the highguard and he sees Starscream, without even knowing his name he knows he's dreamed of him countless times , but those dreams feel so much more than dreams.

He starts to tell Starscream who shuts him down but Orion keeps going , the more he tells him about these memories , Starscream is coming around to the idea because no one could dream those moments so clearly and precisely as him unless those are shared memories.

He doesn't know Orions name, so he's staring at him and says hesitantly

"Orion?"

As if the whispers of those memories are reminding him more and more that they've finally found each other again.

Painting Incident 3#

(Author's note: Inspired by that one ask)

Warnings: Sentinel gets busted after his betrayal.

---------------------------------------------

Sentinel: Uhm. What is this?

You: *stand in front of thirthreen portraits of the primes with the Highguard behind you*

You: Oh, to commemorate our fallen primes. I decided to try a technique that would allow me to make the portraits come to life inside the canvas, embodying their essence that would help mimic their personalities. And if we're lucky, they might be able to speak to us with their voices.

You: I know I should have probably informed you of this, but since Starscream and the others gave their approval, I wanted to make this a surprise memorial.

Sentinel: Uhm, alive? They would not happen to remember everything before they passed away.

You: I tried this a few times, and some of the portraits actually remember the moments before they passed away.

You: Alright. Now, I just need to activate the pain with my brush.

Sentinel: Perhaps this is not necessary ---

You: *already activated the portraits, and all 13 portraits of the primes came to life.*

All the Primes: *Look around confused, like waking up from a dream*

Starscream: By the primes, I'm impressed (Name). I didn't actually think you could bring them to life.

All the Primes: *Stare at Sentinel with anger in their eyes*

You: Uh? My Primes? Why do you all look so upset?

Alchemist: Dear (Name), step away from Sentinel before he stabs you in the back like he did with us.

You: Huh?

Nova: Sentinel has betrayed all of Cybertron! He has allied himself with the Quintessons and turned on us during our final battle!

You & Highguard: Huh?!

Megatronus: He sliced my head off my body and stole my transformation cog.

You & Highguard: HUH?!!!

Zeta: And he tried to take the Matrix of Leadership for himself, causing it to vanish in his unworthy hands and all the energon rivers to dry up.

You, Highguard, and everyone in the memorial: *Look at Sentinel in silence*

Sentinel: *Laughs nervously* The portraits must be faulty. Why else would they say such absurd things? I mean, look at Alpha Trion's portrait. Why isn't he moving or saying anything?

All the Primes: That's because he's still alive, stuck in a lockdown mode inside the cave where you left our remains.

Hi just a dumb request, mini op with the highguards. How will they react or treat him? curious 😭

Hi! Not a dumb request don’t worry about it :) but you will get how the high guard and the rest of the decepticons react to the baby in a longer comic form this month, thx for the wait

[eclipse-ocean]

Starscream will admit, only to himself, that he was having fun fighting bumblebee. The little bot was as silent as ever but Starscream didn’t mind.

Bumblebee was acting odd though, he kept reaching for Starscream’s neck, moves getting more aggressive with every fail, He had a feeling as to why the scout was doing that.

If a mating fight breaks out between two Aerialbots and one of them manages to snap a collar on the other, they become sparkmates for life. So It was quite obvious to Starscream what bumblebee was trying to do, the scout did his research well.

What he wanted to know was…why? Starscream knew he wasn’t the most desirable mate, he was loud and annoying and unlovable and hideous by grounders standards. A traitorous coward despite all he did as a highguard, why would bumblebee ever want someone like him?

Starscream was so distracted he didn’t even notice bumblebee running at him until he was tackled to the ground and a clicking sound was heard, he cursed under his breath for his mistake but didn’t buck the scout off of him, he had been successfully collared after all.

Bumblebee leaned forward, masked face plate coming extremely close to him, before the mask went up and bee’s scarred dermas stretched into a smile, blue optics shining down on him.

Starscream sighed, he waited for his new mate to get up, taking the offered Servo in his own. Looks like he was an Autobot now, Megatron won’t be very happy to lose his second-in-command.

———————————————————————————

Starscream watched all the decepticons retreat, standing beside bumblebee.

Megatron snarled at him from where he was standing, red optics glaring daggers into him. “You useless bastard, what are you doing?!” The autobots looked between the two, stunned when Starscream stepped behind their scout.

“I am sorry Lord Megatron but I am not a decepticon anymore, Aerialbot culture and all” he said and tapped the collar around his neck, watching as realization came over the tyrant. Soundwave and shockwave dragged Megatron away.

An autobot turned to him, he thinks her name is Chromia, eyeing him cautiously. “So, what was that about? Why change sides all of the sudden”

Starscream cocked his hips to the side, crossing his arms. “My culture is very different from grounders, your scout won against me fair and square” that was all he said, his words confused everyone because they’ve all won against him before but he’s never done anything like this.

Bumblebee took Starscream by the arm and led him away from everyone, an air of excitement and joy surrounding him. Starscream wondered how this would turn out, how him being mated with an autobot would change anything in this war, only time will tell honestly.

Brass Coast: The Jotun have invaded through the Kahraman mountains!

Highguard: Oh no!

Highguard: *blows up a mountain*

Highguard: Anyway…

[what-if-i-like-my-mechs-older]

(It's that time of the month for Starscream I'm not making a period romantic there will be blood and gas and actual relatable shit.

Tf One universe where Starscream and the highguard aren't on the surface but living unaware of Sentinels lie and cogless miners exist. Ship: StarPax comfort one shot.)

Two months, it had taken two months to get the superiors of Orions work station, to let him have two days away from the mines, Starscream had been dating the cogless miner for far longer than that but he'd wanted to take him home , pamper and dote on him there, and now as he laid curled on his bathroom floor he cursed how unreliable bodily functions were.

It wasn't due for three more days, he should have been in the clear....but...then again...who else but Orion could jump start it , it was a scientific fact that gestation cycles could be started through overloads especially when close to it.

He winced as he felt another surge of pain twist and turn, any mess that spilt from him could easily be cleaned up, he didn't care where it went, any position to lay in so it felt less painful.

He felt warm and in the moments of reprieve he could let his breathing ease.

Out in the bedroom Orion stirred, unable to feel the warmth of his lover, he groaned , huffing , where was his Starlight? Pouting he sat up, letting his processor come online, taking in the soft lighting of the room from all of Iacons neon sights and city buildings, there was how ever another glow beside him, faint and dull...and a pool of....was that, blood?

To Orion it would seem large, he was far smaller than the seeker and noted that he must have turned in it at some point as he saw trace amounts on his thigh.

It took him 0.00001 seconds to suddenly start panicking , was he hurt??? Did he hurt him self, did he hurt him during their interface???

"Starscream, where are you!?"

He practically fell off the bed slipping on the liquid, but he didn't care about that, he followed the pained sound of his Starlight answering him

Telling him not to be so loud.

Orion peeked in and saw Starscream curled up on the floor, more of the fluid pooled on the floor by....oh so that was what that was.

Still he didn't care , he turned the lights down low and moved in closer.

Starscream whined, feeling like an animal who'd been kicked down, he didn't want Orion to see him like this, his last partner didn't have pains or problems like this, they'd been so cruel and called him disgusting for making even the slightest mess, after that relationship he'd planned everything so carefully that Orion would never see him in this state, he didn't want the most wonderful and ridiculous mech at time to see him like this.

Orion watched as the seekers wings trembled, all he could think about how much pain he was in, he could feel it radiating from his field, walking up to him he rested a hand between his wings.

"I'll keep my voice soft I promise..."

His hand slowly stroked between them

"Can I remove your pelvic armor, I know the weight of it can add more stress to your wiring."

Star only nodded, this was foreign to him, no one had ever taken care of him during his cycle, he'd had to crawl or hobble around his home for medication, heating pads and whatever else he would need and here was this little mech, his voice only holding comfort and warmth for him...he'd probably cry about it later, but he couldn't cry, not now....not now he had to remain as calm as he could because that would only tense up his body more.

Orion searched the armour for every tiny clip and joint, it took a moment but soon the hip pieces and front and back were removed , he'd seen enough blood in the mines, this was no different no matter where it came from and all he could worry about was Starscream and making sure he'd feel better.

"Does that feel a little better sweetspark?"

The seeker made a small sound he wasn't sure if it meant yes or no, he focused on the biolights along his lower back, they should usually pulse subtly to a spark beat. Right now they were flickering, flashing then flickering again.

Star moved a leg trying to find another position as another cramp twisted through him.

Orion hated hearing him cry, not because he was angry at him for doing so, he hated that he was in pain, that such a natural bodily function that they were designed with had to be so cruel and debilitating.

Reaching forward he pressed his fingers carefully against the biolights and rubbed in large circles , again size difference here was blatantly obvious.

"You're not...you don't find..."

Starscream was having trouble getting the words out , what if Orion said yes, the massage was helping though...he seemed to know what he was doing...

"Not your first time helping someone out is it?"

He managed to say , his breathing still obviously laced with pain.

"Down in the mines, the only time they care is if you can't work, if a medical visit gets you back to work you can go to the doctors, or you get replaced...all we got is each other down there...do you need more pressure....right here?"

He answered him earnestly while rubbing down into the lower dip of Starscream’s back , the seeker audibly let out a sigh of relief, though however when his systems relaxed he felt his internals churn. His faced darkened as he knew what was going to happen and there was no stopping it.

His body dispelled gas that only sounded twice as loud to him because of how embarrassed he felt making his body tense up more.

Orion continued massaging him with out second thought and only chuckled

"Yeah I do that to during mine, Dee doesn't know what to say but he makes some joke like 'if you were a Prime I'd call you Tootimus Prime' , something like that, it's kinda funny, sometimes a little laugh helps, but I know it doesn't help everyone. "

Star did however manage a breathless giggle

"Tootimus...with your size they probably do sound like that...actually...now I think about it you've never once dispelled gas."

It was Orions turn to blush even if he was smiling

"I dunno I kept holding them in around you, you're such a classy mech I know I'm a miner how the world sees me, don't really care what they think of me but, I guess I didn't wanna accidentally embarrass you...or make you wish for something better."

Star listened , the sound of his voice was relaxing him, it eased his pain, how calm he talked how never mentioned the flow that was still going and slowly pooling on the floor.

So they'd both had their worries about each other , it was good they were communicating even if it was in such a moment as this.

"You don't embarrass me, Orion you make me happy...seeing you makes me happy, that smile you have when you see me, it's like you light up the whole of Iacon...and I don't know what to do with that...but I never want to lose it either...ridiculous bot thinking a ....a what was that slang term you use?"

"Fart."

Orion was trying not to cry, so Star had noticed that was the joy he brought him, he wasn't supposed to be the one getting teary here, he was supposed to be looking after him!

This all over gas...well...regulation of the hormonal cycle could do this he figured.

"Yes that, ridiculous bot thinking I'd be ashamed of you over a fart."

He actually found himself laughing a little more, he was still in pain, but with Orion here talking to him, knowing Orion wanted nothing but to look after and ease him...it made it just a little more tolerable and he was right removing the pelvic armor had helped...he'd usually had to handle this by himself, never discussed it with anyone else either, his sire had been one of those, it happens and we don't talk about it to others type mechs.

Old fashioned in other words.

His stomach (because right now I can't remember the transformers term for that) however did a turn as his body decided now would be a good time to contract hard enough that whatever he'd eaten earlier was not going to stay where it was and scrambled for the waste disposal unit, hands clutching at the sides, oh this was a bad one and Orion was here witnessing him at one of his most physically...and emotionally at this time vulnerable moments.

Throughout the retching a sob escaped him, it did ease the pain, but there was still that touch of fear Orion would be disgusted just like his last partner who'd sneered at him and just walked out.

Again though, there was a hand on his back rubbing between his wings.

"I'm not going anywhere Starlight, what ever you need to do or need me to help you with, I'm right here, promise I've seen it all , you're in pain I'd even defy my supervisor before leaving you like this."

Star kept his head down for a minute, waiting for his insides to calm.

The gas had gone at least...and while he ached less the pain was still there and dull.

Orion left his side a moment, and that had him raising his head in a momentary panic, but soon relaxed as he saw him reaching for a cloth, however...it did not go unnoticed that Orion...had a large smear of ...

He closed his optics and took a deep breath , pulling the chain to the waste disposal, the coolant water inside swirled and recycled with fresh coolant.

"You...my....it's on you."

Orion looked down at himself and shrugged.

"And? Honestly when I saw it on the berth I was terrified you were hurt, but knowing it's just this....well not just this, I...mean, I'm just happy that you weren't injured though with the way these cycles feel it does feel like you're put through the ringer that's for damn sure."

He was going to Sparkbond with Orion Pax, this was going to be his husband one day he swore to Primus, maybe it was the high emotions , or the feeling of being cared for that made him feel that way , but right now, he meant it he thought to himself as the miner came and wiped his mouth for him.

"Now, Starlight, I don't know how to run your bath to the way you like it but a oil bath is exactly what you need."

The seeker pouted at him

"Because I'm dirty?"

"No..."

He tip toed and kissed his forehead

"Because it'll ease your valve and back wires , I figure the same as a heating pad , only all over."

Star reached out and cuddled him, his face buried into the crook of his shoulder

"I love you, Orion Pax."

Orion kissed the side of Screamers helm affectionately and cuddled him back.

"Hey now, I'll always do my best to have your back, you got that."

He felt the seeker nodding and smiled

"Love you to Starscream...now where do you keep your pain medication, I'll get you a light snack and something to drink while you run a bath, that way I can find out what temperature you like it and I can run your bath next time."

"Next time?"

"What you think I totally wouldn't sneak out to look after you, don't be ridiculous got like seventy bots down there who owe me one, not that I ask them to, they just want to."

Star looked him over and just smiled, he understood why they did, it was hard not wanting to thank a mech like him for helping you out.

He told him where the medication was and managed to start his bath, oh everything still hurt, but knowing Orion was there, that he didn't judge anything that needed to be done to cope, that he wasn't alone...so long as leveled his breathing it was....just about manageable.

He'd been found early enough before it'd reached screaming in pain, those times were the worst, especially when nothing stayed in your body, but...he didn't worry about that right now.

Orion returned a few minutes later just as Star was sinking into the bath and sighing. His little Pax had been right, this was good, it would still take time for his body to calm, his knees were parted as he let the oil slowly ease the tension.

He watched as his lover pass up the glass and medication which he took and the two simple energon biscuits.

"Hey Star?"

"Yes my little future Conjunx?"

Both of them went still, shit he'd said that outloud, he felt a sharp pain as he momentarily panicked only to see Orion smiling that same smile that adored.

"Don't worry about any of the mess, I'll clean it up, you'll come back to fresh berth, just please tell me if there's anything you need."

He rocked on his feet a moment still smiling, still keeping his voice calm.

"Also I'd love to Conjunxed with you."

He practically skipped off and found what he'd need to clean up everything in the berth and then came in to clean the floor.

While Star didn't talk much, he'd asked Orion to tell him about his friends, just stories down in the mines, the sound of his voice soothing, even as he used the corner shower for himself finally.

Star couldn't help but feel his affection for him had grown substantially in this one night, to know he could be doubled over and pulled down by pain like that and Orion had only cared for him, given him comfort.

Love right now wasn't even good enough a word , it was humble in comparison to what he felt for him while he watched him shower and dry off.

Half expecting him to go to bed.

Orion climbed up on the bathroom chair and smiled.

"Don't rush okay, I want you to stay there for as long as you need to."

"Oh and what if I stay here til morning?"

It was a half tease but his answer just made him love him all the more.

"Then let the morning come, I will still be here."

Realised I never made a follow up of this post explaining what the aus are so I'm doing it now

TF One Heires AU:

(This one was inspired by both the starscream and lil dee au by neonross and a little by the primes sparkling au by compaculaaa, and a couple of disney songs)

In this au as well as taking cogs from some of the newborn Cybertronians Sentinel also decides in order to keep the population down to just have some taken to the surface and left for dead.

One of these sparklings wanders off eventually comes across the cave where the Prime's were all killed. In this au Alpha Trion was only knocked out temporarily and had already woken up. However he was badly hurt and in no condition to go up against Sentinel and his men so he has no choice but to stay hiding out on the surface. When he see's the nearly newborn sparkling he realises something is very wrong, but as there is nothing else he can do for now he decides to take simply care of this child as best he can, giving him the name Orion Pax

Long (though not very) after Orion has gone walk about some of the highguard who were sent on a scouting mission come across the spot where Sentinel had the sparklings dumped. Some like Orion wandered off (though only he found safety), some stayed (most of these were found huddled together), but only one was alive. They took the sparkling back to Starscream who decided that he would raise the child so he could be the one to one day kill Sentinel. Though over time he came to see this sparkling less as a weapon for revenge, and more as a son. He decided not to give him a name though, only a designation D-16

Ok now we're back with Sentinel and he's been thinking. He's got a big ego (no that's not what he's thinking the guy thinks his ego is perfectly regular sized for a guy like him thank you very much), but he's not egotistical enough to think he's immortal. But he can't let just anyone take over when he's gone, they could undo all his hard work, no he needs an heir. One he can mould into his image. So he takes a sparkling and has them locked up in part of his tower (it's for your own safety, i have many enemies who will hurt you, you're so small the people would only mock you). The child won't get a name until he's earnt it (it may take longer than he first thought, what a disappointment he's been so far). Until then he will be known as B-127

When Sentinel takes an heir for himself Airachnid decides this sparkling will need his own bodyguard as he grows up, and there's no guaruntee she'll be around to fill that role. So she takes her own sparkling to raise for this very role. She names her Elita-1, Elita because she will be trained to be an elite fighter, 1 to remind her she can always be replaced should she fail.

[neonross]

this was just what i was thinkn this whole time when d-16 became leader of the highguard

likhruerf lil lad became leader overnight
