#Just like with Decepticon!Jazz and Decepticon!Ratchet and Hot Rod

[keferon]

What are your thoughts on a decepticon prowl?

Oh I'm all for it. But! Only if he's actually a Con. Like. Wholeheartedly.

Not "nnnooo we're doingg a bad thing and I kind of dont wanna do bad thing but I have no choice poor me".

You know how in canon he truly believes he's on the right side and makes everything to ensure that Optimus wins the war? You know how he's willing to make every tough decision so Optimus doesn't have to risk his reputation? You know how he literally makes Autobots look like shiny brave and clean heroes who did nothing wrong ever?

I want all that but the other way around. I want him to do that for Megatron and for the Decepticons. The implications would be so fucking dramatic I could write a whole essay.

Low rank Cons would hate him so fucking bad.

Starscream would try to murder him at least once a day.

Megatron would absolutely treasure him. Autobots would have it r o u g h

Can you imagine

[niiwa-angel]

Living through a war is tough but it's harder when you also have to raise sparkling. You can't completely let them know what's going on but you ant keep them totally in the dark either. Which leads to some odd chaos at the Autobots base.

~~~

Prowl: Question. Why is your sparkling here? This is a battle preparatory meeting.

Optimus: He's keeping minutes.

Bumblebee, scribbling on a drawing pad: 🙂‍↕️

~~~

Ironhide: Everyone please remember to check containers before sending them to the trash compartment. I just found Sunstreaker napping in one.

~~~

Optimus: Reminder, weapons are to be locked and secured at all times. Putting them on a high shelf doesn't count, Cliffjumper just climbs up to get them. We cannot have a thermal grenade in the hands of someone who still puts everything he finds in his mouth.

Hound: Is that why my thermal grenade was all slimy?

~~~

Ratchet: Alright! I know we're often in a hurry but can bots please watch their freaking feet! This is the third time this deca-cycle I've had to treat a sparkling because they got stepped on!

Hoist: Frags sake guys, they're brightly coloured.

~~~

Jazz: Whoever gave Sunny and Sides a whole bunch of rust sticks right before their bedtime and then sent them back to me: I will find you and payback is a glitch.

~~~

Optimus: If you're going to bring me a sparkling to complain about, can you at least make sure it's one of mine? Wheeljack, you brought me Sideswipe yesterday and were convinced he was Hot Rod.

Wheeljack: We have too many red sparklings. I think we should get rid of whichever one keeps getting into my lab!

~~~

Hoist: Just because the Sparklings like the rust sticks doesn't mean they can eat them for every meal! They need proper nutrition!

~~~

Optimus: I don't disagree with assigning chores to the Sparklings but 'fetch me some high grade' is not an appropriate chore.

Optimus: And rewarding them with a sip is definitely not appropriate.

~~~

Ratchet: I understand tensions are a little high right now, but some of you need to keep your fight or flight protocols in check. Our first reaction upon seeing a little bot running towards you should not be to kick them.

Ironhide: I am so sorry for that, I had just woken up!

~~~

Optimus: Appropriate punishments for the Sparklings do not include welding them to the walls! I don't know who stuck Sideswipe up there but you need to go let him down.

Wheeljack: That oughta teach that little Fragger to stay out of my lab.

~~~

Jazz: I know my two tend to get into the most trouble but can you all please double check before blaming them? Someone sent Sunstreaker to time out because of something Ravage got in here and took.

Prowl: Wish Ravage had taken Sunstreaker.

~~~

Elita-One: Everyone be aware, Cliffjumper figured out how to get into the vents. Please make sure all vent grates are properly secure.

~~~

Optimus: At the risk of sounding unprofessional, I JUST got Bumblebee settled down for a nap, if anybot wakes him, they WILL be sent to play chicken with the Decepticon turrets.

Le Premier Accent

Prequel to The Accent

Pairing: (platonic) Tim Bradford x fem!Cybertronian!reader ; (romantic) Hot Rod x fem!Cybertronian!reader

Summary: When your alt mode is stolen by a well-meaning police officer, you become attached to him. His friend Lucy stumbles upon you and has a different reaction than the man you now guard.

Warnings/Word Count: fluff, google translate French, Optimus is a tired dad, Chenford, 2.2k+ words, requested

Masterlist Directory | Tim Bradford Masterlist | Request Info

“Traffic on the 405-“ the radio transmission is interrupted by a sharp burst of static before a different voice says, “Do exactly as I say. 34.06236, -118.34234.”

You steer to the right and park against the curb. The area of Los Angeles you’re in isn’t the nicest nor the safest. Optimus had given you a lengthy lecture about how Earth was different than Cybertron, so you can’t drive or park wherever you want. You must be vigilant, he’d said, always aware and prepared to defend yourself and others without revealing your identity because-

You stopped listening after that, too distracted by your husband whispering flirty lines in your audio receptors. Now, you wish you had heard Optimus's suggestions for staying safe as a lone car in a city full of vehicles.

Granted, this is the only place you’ve found today that picks up the Decepticon radio transmission you overheard last week. You’ve been searching for a clear signal since then, and parking for a few minutes probably won’t put you in danger from people or Decepticons.

While you listen, recording their conversation to a small device Ratchet engineered for you, you don’t notice a tattooed man cross the street, looking over his shoulder repeatedly. He walks to your alt mode, glancing in the windows before he stops by your driver’s door. After one final look down the street, he pulls a metal rod from his pants and inserts it between the door frame and the window. Somehow, that causes the lock to lift, and he pulls the door open before climbing inside.

You silence the radio when the door opens, preparing yourself to fight against this unknown intruder. He doesn’t try to start the car or pull the control panel down to hotwire the engine. Instead, he looks around. Shifting, he fishes his phone out of his too-big jeans pocket and taps the screen once.

“This is Sergeant Bradford, badge number 3483,” he says into the microphone. A police officer, you realize. “I’m in the suspect car – red Lambo Huracan, plate 9-Alpha-Tango-Foxtrot-6-1-3 – and my cover of Jake Butler is intact.”

An undercover cop, you amend. Like the ones in those ridiculous movies Jazz liked so much. For some reason, beyond hearing his name and profession, you trust the man in the driver’s seat. So, the center console pops open, revealing a key. Sergeant Bradford hesitates, then starts the ignition and begins driving. The police impound lot comes into view, and you take over the wheel. The tires squeal as you swing into a tight right turn, speeding down an alley as Bradford stomps the brake pedal and swerves the steering wheel to no avail.

“What is wrong with this car?” he exclaims, his voice higher than before.

He’s freaking out, but you can’t trust the officers at the impound. You’ve become inexplicably attached to Bradford in a few short miles – an occurrence Optimus warned you against after Bee’s first encounter with humans. Trying to decide whether you should abandon him on the side of the road or just stop and let him make his own decision to leave, you see an abandoned garage with the door open. It’s been cleaned out, either by the former owner or looters, so you enter and tap your bumper against the switch to close the door.

As you open the driver’s door, Sergeant Bradford dives for the ground, flipping onto his back before he scrambles away from your alt mode on the dusty concrete floor.

“What are you?” he inquires, wide-eyed and beginning to shake.

“Calm down,” you encourage, but a voice coming from an unoccupied Lamborghini does little to calm him down.

You decide to show him then, unsure if you could tell him what you really are. So, you transform. As your alt mode shifts, revealing your Cybertronian form, Bradford’s arms give out, and he collapses onto the floor, staring up at you with a slack jaw. His eyes change, less terrified and freaked out as they reveal his wonder and amazement. He stands wordlessly, walking around your pedes and looking up and down your frame.

“Where’d the steering wheel go?” he asks.

You chuckle at the question before you look up and whisper, “Behind my back guard.”

“What is that?” he inquires, pointing to the lark on your arm guard.

His curiosity is proof enough that you made the right choice trusting him.

“Report,” Optimus demands.

“On my way,” you reply. “Twenty minutes; I’m still in the city.”

“Somewhere to be?” Bradford asks.

“Something like that. Will you be alright?”

“Why’d you let me steal you?” he wonders. “I was going to ‘recover’ you to the impound to push our case forward.”

“I trust you,” you admit. “And didn’t notice you coming up until it was too late to just drive away.”

“Maybe you should have an escort then,” he suggests, smiling as he leans against an empty toolbox bolted to the wall. “So it doesn’t happen again.”

You’re working on an investigation of your own. Having a cop nearby wouldn’t be so bad. You transform faster this time, revving the engine as you offer the driver’s seat to Tim.

“Can I drive again?” he asks as he buckles the seatbelt.

“Not a chance,” you murmur softly.

You turn off your headlights on a dark desert highway, aware of how Tim stiffens in the seat when he can’t see the road anymore. Carefully, you steer off the pavement and park beside two other vehicles. Tim can’t see them, so when he steps out onto the sand and hears metal clanking, he assumes it’s just you standing up again.

Optimus lifts his brows ridge when his optics fix on Tim. He doesn’t ask the question, but you understand the implication and shift, looking down so you can’t see his attention shift to you.

“He’s a cop,” you begin. “I- I trust him, Optimus. He’ll keep our secret.”

Tim can’t see who you’re talking to but agrees, “Yeah, I- I’m working a case, and I have no reason to tell anyone that there is a giant robot in LA.”

“Robots,” Optimus corrects lowly. “There are more than one.”

You can practically hear Tim’s harsh swallow before he mumbles, “How many?”

Bee turns on one headlight to illuminate Optimus, who closes his optics against the light and sighs like the tired father you see him as.

“Sergeant Bradford, meet Optimus Prime, Cybertronian leader, and Bumblebee,” you introduce. “Optimus, I’m sorry.”

“It was going to happen sooner or later,” he sighs. “You’re a guardian, in and out.”

“Guardian?” Tim repeats, looking up at you where the light bounces off your paint. “She can’t even look me in the eye.”

“Don’t make you special, pal,” Bee jokes, seeking through radio stations to string his sentence together.

“I’m sorry if I overstepped or offended you,” Tim offers, finally calming down again after his second freak-out of the night (much to your amusement). “I’m Tim Bradford.”

“Take him home,” Optimus instructs you. “Ratchet will find a way to keep you in touch.”

Tim nods before you transform around him, pulling him into the driver’s seat.

“I’m not going to get used to that,” he murmurs, gripping the door handle tightly.

“Qu'est ce que c'est?”

Ratchet sighs but answers the young autobot’s question. “It’s a signal booster,” he says. “Hopefully, it will let us hear the Decepticons from here.”

“Maman can stay then?” the boy asks.

“Oui, fils,” Hot Rod says, lifting his son onto his shoulder pad.

“She’s on her way back now,” Ratchet alerts. “Stopped a block away from the police station for several minutes and is now driving over the speed limit.”

“We were built for speed,” Hot Rod jokes, drawing a giggle from his son.

The warehouse door opens before you drive inside and transform. Your son jumps from his dad’s shoulder pad and runs toward you, wrapping you in a tight hug. He beats your husband by mere seconds, and you smile when you see them.

“Mon amour,” Hot Rod says, pulling you close. “We missed you.”

“I was only gone a few hours,” you murmur, returning your son’s affection as you pull him against your chest plate.

“Too long.”

Optimus and Bee enter the same door you had used, looking at you knowingly before glancing at Hot Rod.

“Quoi?” he inquires.

“Your wife is a guardian,” Optimus answers. “To the very police officer who stole her alt mode.”

Hot Rod looks at you, and after you nod, he laughs, bending at the midsection as you grumble at the attention. Your son pats your chassis, whispering that you’ll be okay. He’s too much like his father, you think.

“Tim!” Angela yells. “We’re going to dinner.”

“Okay,” he replies. “And?”

“You’re coming with!” Lucy calls. “Let’s go!”

“I- uh-“ Tim scrambles for an excuse. His keys are in his hand, and for some reason, he says, “I’ve got to take the truck for a tune-up. I think the power steering’s going out.”

“I thought you didn’t need power steering because you’re a man,” Angela jokes. “Come on, I’ll give you a ride. Take the truck another day.”

“My mechanic stayed open late for me,” Tim lies. “I’ll come with next time.”

“Promise?” Lucy presses.

“Fine, yeah, I promise. Goodnight!”

Tim sighs after he gets in his truck. He asked a trusted friend to borrow his garage tonight to do some work on his truck. In reality, you reached out – though Tim still isn’t sure how you got the message to his phone – and asked to meet him somewhere in the city. It sounded urgent, so Tim agreed without hesitation. He presses the remote his friend gave him to open the forty-foot garage door. After he drives in and parks beside your alt mode, he closes the door and dims the light so you can transform.

You seem more comfortable with him this time, leaning against the wall after you stand. Tim can tell you’re shy, but he saw it with your friends, too, so he knows it isn’t a lack of trust in him. That means something, though he’ll never admit it.

“I thought you’d be the type of guy to do stuff after work,” you muse, pretending to look at a watch.

“I thought you’d be the type to not start something you couldn’t finish,” he counters.

You nod, conceding his point. “I have a question about the car thief you mentioned. A Decepticon went missing today; we picked up the radio chatter.”

“We being you, Optimus, and Bee?” he clarifies.

“Among others.”

“How many?”

“Tim,” you sigh. “I just need to know if the ‘con-“

“Con?” he interrupts.

“They’re bots from my home planet, Cybertron, like us but bent on conquer the world rather than save it. Their leader more or less started the war that destroyed our planet. They’re bad guys.”

“And one of them went missing, so you think he might have been stolen too.”

You groan at his tone on the word too. He’ll never let you live that down, you think, but you’re shying from his eye contact and don’t take the risk of replying.

“What’s the make and model?” Tim asks.

As you begin to answer, the door leading to the office and waiting area opens, and a woman barges inside. You stand, aiming your blaster at her. She stops, lifting her hands in surrender as she looks between you and Tim. He rushes to step before you, blocking your blaster as he shakes his head rapidly.

“This is Lucy,” he tells you carefully. “She’s a friend of mine, we work together.”

You lower your blaster slowly, keeping yourself in your fighting position in case he’s wrong or lying.

“Lucy!” he chides, turning on his heel to face her. “What is wrong with you? You can’t just come into a closed garage!”

“The door was unlocked and your friend said I could drop in on you,” she says, looking up at you. “If he asks, I gave you the part you had delivered to my house.”

“You lied to him?” Tim exclaims.

Lucy nods, stepping around Tim. “You’re a robot?” she asks you.

“Uh, yeah,” you answer, surprised by how calm she seems. “Technically an alien, according to Ratchet.”

“How do you get around?” she inquires. “Do you have some sort of cloaking device or a way to fit in?”

“You aren’t freaking out,” you point out softly.

She comes into your view again and smiles.

“Why would I be?” she exclaims, bouncing slightly. “This is the coolest thing that’s ever happened to me! Who would freak out about something like this?”

You glance at Tim, who doesn’t meet your eyes. It’s a nice change to see him be the shyer one for once. You decide not to tell Lucy that Tim freaked out a little.

“I have an alt mode,” you say instead of answering. “I can turn into a car, and drive around whenever I please.”

“Working on your car,” Lucy scoffs, glancing at Tim. “You’re a lying liar who lies.”

“Says the woman who lied to break into a garage after hours,” he counters.

“You’re harboring an alien robot in here, Tim, you don’t get to challenge my motives.”

“You’re just friends?” you ask, remembering how Hot Rod used to press you when you were dating. It’s gotten worse since then, but you can see something between them, even when Lucy makes a face of disgust that barely conceals the admiration in her eyes.

Novalite is the daughter of Optimus(Not related to the other Novalite made for Soundstar)

Medix and Vexara are the children of Drift and ratchet

Acidwave and RadioStorm are the sons of Soundwave and ShockWave.

Now you can add your own Fanchild to it. Just need the description!

[cozzzynook]

TFP Soundrod wherein everyone in the Autobot Base knows Roddy is sneaking out to see someone, and they're all taking bets. Yeah, Omega-1 only has Team Prime, but there's other Autobots who come and go, so he's probably hooking up with one of them. There's jokes about him and Jazz, or him and Drift, or maybe even him and Wheeljack if Bulkhead feels like taking a crack at his old buddy.

It gets real serious when Roddy ends up sparked and doesn't seem comfy talking about who sparked him, though. They try to coax it out of him, but Ratchet being the lovingly cankerous thing he is, eventually just threatens to use the cortical psychic patch (with no real intent of using it), and Roddy very awkwardly explains it's a Decepticon's, and then promptly shuts up.

Which raises more questions. One: How? Two: Why? Three, and perhaps more pressingly: Who?

It isn't until Bee or Smokey follow him one day that they realize it's SOUNDWAVE and yep not only does the Decepticon TIC have a face but Hot Rod is currently sitting on it because he wanted to top for once.

Regardless of who sees, they definitely report back to base, which causes all hell to break loose, and everyone shoves the problem of confronting Hot Rod about this issue onto Optimus, who doesn't know how to approach the situation.

This is peak awkwardness and i love that lol

[randomfandoms234]

My mind has been on a Demon slayer x transformers Au for couple days, there's no humans in it the bots will take place of all the characters

Autobots- demon slayers

Decepticons - demons

But for official roles:

Tanjiro- Orion pax/Optimus, and hot rod he goes to sell some energon in a smaller city of cybertron only to find his entire family dead, only two surrvived, in grief he changes his name to Optimus however he doesn't become a prime until much later in the show

I say two because at this time Hot rod snuck out to go see a race in town but was caught by Orion in the village annoyed by this Orion takes his kid back home but finds it covered in blood…only one other of his kids survived

Nezuko- Bumblebee: reasoning behind this is because I made Megatron muzan and wanted to keep the Bumblebee curse going, found by either Orion or Hotrod after the attack of Metatron Bumblebee is technically a decepticon but works with the Autobots

Orion ran a small orphanage in the mountains and treats each sparkling and youngling as if they were his own while Optimus is close with Hotrod and Bumblebee after the events of Megatrons attack on their home he adopted them officially in his heart after the events of the main plot happen these two would get officially adopted

Muzan- Megatron , leader of the decepticons who else would take the place? Metatron attacked the home of the three but unknown by him not all died there,

His backstory is different from Muzan in demon slayer, as he follows with Megatrons backstory.…lera just say Unicron had something to do with this.

Inosuke- Grimlock- tell me you see it? Grimlocke was abandoned near a cyberteonien mountain where he was raised by cybertronien life no one knows where is dinosaur alt mode came from.

Zenitsu- Smokescreen, there's no romance plot though ew he just gets attached and wants a new brother

Genya-cliffjumper, he and bumblebee look alike so there's many jokes that their long lost brothers, Cliffjumper just wants to make his brother Ironhide proud though.

Kanou- Elita- the only other adult in this gaggle of idiots she originally was very quiet and stern but becomes more open layer

Giyu- Ultra magnus, this feels like it makes sense as their personalitys are quite similar

Samani- Ironhide, no particular reasoning o just think it'd be interesting

Shinobu- Ratchet, I think their personalitys will mesh together great and There both somewhat docters

Tengan- jazz, sound hashira with character literally named after music I rest my case, jk I just want him to survive,

Rengoku- sunstreaker, this is due to the fact that Sideswipe is used more often than Sunstreaker and I want to give the other twin some short spotlight also, Sun- fire

Muchiro- Arcee, arcee has amnesia like Muchiro but is tough, she's tough and I just wanted her as a character in the Au and this is the one that fit her

Gyomei- Perceptor, Perceptor was a scientist who believed in the decepticoms and wanted to make a cure, be was attacked blinding him, and attacked once again when trying to help a sparkling but got attacked by the city folk for looking scary as he refuses to get his optics repaired

That's all I have so far but any suggestions of which Transformer should replace a demon slayer character is appreciated!

[churino]

Design for autobot sisters roulette and silhouette

I think you can see where this is going, but i believe it's a natural direction to take

Roulette and silhouette are elite misdirection and hit and run specialists. As far as they believe, they were built by the autobots under optimus prime's command to bolster their numbers as a tactical decision,

their first memories being jazz giving them the context of the autobot decepticon conflict, then requesting their help, letting them decide whether or not to join the cause, and it just so happens they did. personally trained by jazz in the use of sonic weaponry, jazz also influences them to socialize and get into music and art, but they find that the other autobots get noticeably more depressed around them for seemingly no reason, they can see that even jazz is affected by this and just masks it better due to his usual disposition, this wall between them and their comrades has greatly affected their development

Roulette, counter to her name, doesn't like to leave things up to chance, especially her future, and she believes if she acts just like their big beloved leader optimus prime, she will gain enough favor to counteract this nonsensical miasma around her and her sister. Jazz and Silhouette shower her with love, but everyone else keeps her at arm's length. She has always been loved, but she's never been liked and tries to fill that hole by making more people love her, trying to make herself useful, grow her skills, and put the interests of others ahead of her own.

In the process, she's broken the autobot landspeed record set by hot rod and become a sharpshooter that can rival moonracer, but because the trottlebots are around the world all the time, she rarely gets to show off these skills to the bots she's trying to impress, and its not like she'll learn enough medicine to rival ratchet any time soon, but because of her dedication she's one of if not, the most effective autobot at everything she does.

Silhouette, on the other hand, is something of a slacker she sees Roulette's attempts to people please as a waste of time and has religated herself to being treated the way she is, but she loves her sister and joins her in her efforts to improve herself, just to hang out with her, in the process inadvertently gaining the same skills as her, she has something of a cold disposition but has taken to jazz's influence to get into art more than Roulette, and often adds some flare to her life whenever possible.

But, in her extra time spent inside her own head, she starts to think about their situation, and she gathers all the information she can on the autobot's history on earth to trying to figure out why it is that people are so uniformly unsettled by them. And all she finds.. are mising names.

In truth, roulette and silhouette were once lifeless vehicon robots that came to the autobots in hopes of becoming truly alive, but sadly, the process to make a transformer proved incompatible with their machine minds, the spark overwhelming and replacing data, rather than give the existing robots life, it put new life into their bodies, for roulette and silhouette to be born, they first had to die, and their original names were struck from the record, and erased from the minds of all autobots but ratchet who carried out the procedure. A procedure the other vehicons, the autobot brothers would not undergo.

[definitely-not-karen]

Wish list of what I wanna see in the next transformers cartoon vaguely organized by how realistic it is to happen from hey they could do that to, no they wouldn’t do that.

Have a more character focused transformers show. Maybe a bit less action and a bit more character development?

A show with a continued narrative, I don’t really want an episodic series.

But if it is episodic, at least let it have a good status quo to build off of and return to each episode.

I wanna see Jazz, Prowl, Ratchet, Rodimus/Hot Rod, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Bluestreak, Hound.

I’d like it to be post war.

I’d like Megatron to either be morally ambiguous or good aligned again.

I like when the quintessons are the villains rather than it just being Decepticons vs Autobots

If it is Decepticons vs Autobots, I’d like some interesting things, like Autobots turning into Decepticons and vice versa.

If Decepticons are the evil ones, I’d like to see more of a, Autobots are the resistance rather than the Autobots are good but were corrupt so Decepticons rebelled but oh no they go too far so they’re evil no and Autobots good. Like I get it, it allows for interesting stuff when Decepticons as a movement has been corrupted but I just feel like I haven’t seen that really been utilized that well.

Here’s where my wish list gets unrealistic.

Finish off transformers animated.

Adapt transformers lost light somehow.

Have Rodimus Prime be the main character, maybe even start with Optimus already dead and follow his growth as a young leader, like riff off of G1 but instead of making Hot Rod go from rambunctious kid to burnt out adult immediately, have him keep his youthfulness.

A Swerve’s sit com.

Follow a Decepticon main character. Maybe on their journey of realizing the movement they’re in is corrupt?

Do something new with Transformers rescue bots somehow? Like a completely different continuity disconnected from it but like a spiritual successor.

Just a transformers show that doesn’t have them at war. Like they can fight or whatever but just, does it have to be world ending stakes all the time?

Adapt a Thundercracker redemption to movie director arc.

Bring back combiners so they release a toy line of combiners and I can finally get a First Aid toy.

A 2d animated transformers show. I’m a bit tired of boring backgrounds of the reused assets of the 3D shows.

A proper transformers queer romance. But also I’m not adverse to them all being aromantic.

I thought I’d have more on this wish list but even then this is a lot. Anyways. Make a wish.

[merlinfromberlin]

For the random asks:

If you could add any other Transformer into TFP, who would it be?

Huh. Good question. Like, there is SO MANY good options.

Obvious choices are probably Jazz, Ironhide or Elita-1. I've been sold on Jazz and Ironhide ever since I first read Iron Deficiency With A Side Of Jazz Hands. And, I think, that Elita would be super interesting for Optimus and the others to play off of. Based on both TF:One and the Nextflix series, she's not afraid to call Oppy out on his BS and do her own thing if it becomes necessary, so that would be cool - especially in contrast to Ultra Magnus later on who follows the rules to a T. Honestly, bringing in anyone from High Command would probably be super interesting for the fact alone that it would give Optimus and Ratchet both more room to breathe.

Windblade would also have been interesting, I think. Both as an Autobot flier and the way that would have changed Autobot-Decepticon dynamics, but also as an outsider to the conflict who first had to choose a side. She could even end up doing her own thing (maybe after the Predacons are wiped out) and could become a neutral character with a very strict moral compass (in opposition to both Airachnid and Starscream's phases as neutrals who were morally grey at best).

Hot Rod could also be interesting, I guess, but only if you take out Smokescreen/majorly adjust him. Smokey is already extremely close to Bee regarding his role in the team (newcomer/young guy with something to proof and then he also starts scouting even though he was trained by the Elite Guard, not as a scout), so, introducing someone else in the same niche without changing anything would only make that situation worse. And even than you'd need to make sure that you don't just recreate the Smokey-Bee problem with Roddy.

But, just for personal indulgence, I also want to say the Minibots from G1: I don't know what Brawn, Huffer, Gears and Windcharger would have done, but I would have enjoed their presence nonetheless.

My top 5 favorite Bayverse designs

Just saw someone talking shit about Bayverse designs for literally no reason and comparing them to G1 without understanding the design philosophy behind them. (realism, alien-like, and modernization).

No, I don't condone Michael Bay's misogyny and racism, but I will always appreciate the effort the crew put into designing these robots, so here's a top five of my favorites:

5. Soundwave (DOTM)

Don't tell me this design isn't menacing as fuck. It just needed a little more color, but even then it isn't TF '07 Megatron levels of gray mess. Absolutely badass; it may just be my ideal Carwave.

4. Blackout (Transformers 2007)

The best Heli-former of the franchise, and he has the courtesy of being the first movie transformer to transform on-screen! This is one of those movie Decepticons that I don't mind being a grey blob (because he actually has color breakup); he wears it so well, and the kibble adorns him beautifully.

3. Mixmaster (ROTF)

The Constructicon-obsessed guy sneaked in a Constructicon. What a surprise! Ok, but seriously, this was between him and Bonecrusher, and even if I am more attached to the movie 'Crusher... Mixmaster is just a well-thought-out design. The big problem with the movie Structies is that they are a singular blob of color, making them look extremely generic, but Mixmaster's black-gray paint job looks absolutely gorgeous and makes him stand out. The fact that his silhouette looks more "exaggerated humanoid" than "creature" works great for me. I definitely like the mixing drum turning into shields; it's creative and it's fun! Also... TURRET SECONDARY MODE!!!

2. Jazz (Transformers 2007)

The '07 movie felt like the designers were really trying to be respectful with their designs for the Autobot team while still breathing new life and modern sensibilities into them. I really struggled to pick one of them, because they're all great! Yes, even Constructi-Ratchet. In the end, I choose Jazz... And yes, he does not TALK like Jazz AT ALL; he is a racist caricature of how a black man "might talk." I'd argue he has Jazz-like actions, but that's a whole other can of worms. Ok, design: It's great! A small stylish and athletic robot mode that moves fast and rocks a shiny grey paintjob and a sweet visor! Cool! His alt-mode is also perfect for him, ngl.]

1. Sideswipe

Better than G1.

"Damn, I'm good."

Mirnoah anon here.

Its been awhile but I have a small bloop in brain about the two waiting for their little bitty.

They find more and more cybertronians coming to Earth.

Prowl with his conjunx Jazz and their bitty Springer. Along with medic Ratchet who immediately checks Noah over at the discovery of his changing and successful carrying. Ratchet brought along his conjunx Deadlock and Hot rod.

Every bot is surprised Noah didn’t freak out seeing a decepticon with an autobot but he’s just, “cross faction relationships happen here too it should be expected anywhere honestly.”

And yeah they like this guy already and wow they didn’t know Mirage could be that gentle or look at someone the way he did Noah.

Deadlock, Ratchet and Hot rod have a bitty of their own, two actually, one Deadlock carried and one Ratchet carried and another on the way its just Hot rod hasn’t said anything yet.

Noah pieces it together pretty quick and the two are easy friends along with Bee and Jazz.

Horny moment but Noah has a moment where he leaks because Springer and Deadlock, Ratchet and Hot rods sparkling fuss and cry from hunger.

He’s so embarrassed because he did not want to be caught leaking again and he can’t help wanting to fuel the sparklings since carrier instincts get the better of him but Jazz just apologies for Noah’s shirt getting ruined as he takes him to Prowl while Hot rod brings the sparklings to deadlock and ratchet saying it was normal and that he’d get Mirage so the mech can drain him.

Bee of course doesn’t judge at all, again, simply saying one day he won’t worry about leaking.

Bee himself leaked and went to take care of it which Optimus was not happy about because it meant the decepticon who managed to get to Earth and immediately went looking for Bee could find him again.

Optimus is Bee’s carrier and Bee has accepted his carrier will never not be overprotective or let him peacefully spend time with his secret conjunx Starscream. Bee gets why his carrier is so over protective he does, its just, he wants more than a single night alone with Star and he decides to take it while the others are here.

Noah does bee a big favor by reaching out a hand to grip Optimus’s leg and look him optic to optic while telling him he’ll chase Bee completely away one day if he doesn’t tone it down just a little.

And yeah every bot is surprised when Optimus actually listens because he never does when it comes to Bee. Bee is so happy his door wings are fluttering and he’s hugging his carrier before going off to be literally picked up carried in the sky by Starscream who has his attention only on Bee doing elaborate mating dances before disappearing in the clouds.

“Please don’t follow them you will see something you don’t want to.”

And yeah Optimus was busying sulking on his old friends shoulder who just sighed as he and one his own conjunx fed their bitties and Prowl makes the craziest suggestion that makes Hot rod want to throttle himself but he can’t because one he’s sparked and two now his conjunxs and the others know he’s sparked too!

“Damnit Prowl why would you say it?! I didn’t want to tell them yet!”

Yeah Noah is just looking between the group so surprised and decides, “yeah take me home Raj,” his feet are sore his back is in pain, he’s leaked through his shirt, he’s hungry and just wants to be in their nest smelling only Raj and sitting in some peace and quiet.

His wish is Mirage’s command. The autobot immediately scoops him up and leaves, servo resting on his heavy belly as he rubs soothing circles into it while melting Noah to pregnant puddle of goo as he massages his back all the way home.

Maybe that night is filled with a lot of fragging for multiple couples across not only their faction but the decepticon ward as well?

Turns out the moon was affecting every cybertronian with charge and all across the factions many got sparked.

Bee comes back sparked, Noah was already sparked but he would have been with how long they were going at it. Prowl is sparked again much to his dismay, he did not want his pouches getting bigger nor being put on berth rest because Jazz used this to mellow him out- he’s not even really upset he just doesn’t want to get emotional again he can’t handle it—jazz can they’re fine— and Hot rod comes back with limp and an extra bitty in his forge tanks with two conjunxs who won’t let him out of their sights.

They’re pissed his hid his carrying and more so because the trip to Earth was dangerous.

Hot rod wasn’t sure he would keep them because they already have two and his own insecurities were getting the best of him. He was sure they wouldn’t want a sparkling with him, the two bitlets shared no code with Hot rod—the first was when Deadlock and ratchet were courting each other and the next after. Hot rod was dating them when this all happened he just didn’t become conjunx until after because he assumed/feared they’d want only each other and not him. Couldn’t be further from the truth and the night of the charged moon they forced his thoughts out of him and proved him wrong.

Noah and Mirage stayed at their home for awhile interfacing. The necessary metals would transfer from Mirage to Noah and leave the two tired. Mirage spent that time keeping Noah on his spike filled with transfluid while steadily drinking his energon milk rubbing his large belly with a servo.

Noah was always blissed out when this happened so he never said a thing other than the occasional i’n hungry or i love you.

I’m sorry i know this is a lot and went everywhere. There war also ends because no bot wants a war with bitlets present. They have no choice but to negotiate. Also, my bad for leaving just a long thread in your inbox

No need to apologize Anon! This was a long one though and I'm a bit exhausted so sorry I don't have much to add. You dropped a whole plethora of new ships into the Mirnoah Mechpreg Baby story. And mostly my favorite ships too. I'll just add some quick bullets.

Aww for JP raising baby Springer.

The Mirnoah baby is going to have SO MANY age mates

It's sweet that everyone notes how in love Mirage is and how it has changed him

Poor Hot Rod went through a lot didn't he? Glad the three of them are working on it.

Poor Optimus. He's just worried about Bee (who's not jsut seeing but Conjunx-ed to Starscream)

I always love the fluffy babies ever after endings not going to lie

Ooooooh! Interesting note about the moon influencing them (giving me flashbacks to the moon affecting Cybertronians because it was secretly dormant Unicron0

[mychlapci]

bit of a set of weirder headcanons but i think the autobots are fucking freaks when it comes to sex. like the cons are all rough and tough with each other but kinky interfacing comes with a level of trust in your partner that only the autobots have with each other

i feel like public interfacing is relatively accepted among autobots. you go to get your morning fuel in the canteen and sunstreaker has bluestreak pinned against the bulkhead. average fucking tuesday. oh the medibay is having a slow day with few patients, ratchet has first aid warming his spike as he's going through datapads, keeping one servo firmly wrapped around aid's waist as he squirms helplessly. command meetings have like, a 50% chance to get derailed by prowl's chestplate accidentally popping open to reveal his fat tits and jazz just starts sucking on them and then ironhide smacks optimus' panels and oh god there's an orgy now

kink nights just being a common thing among the autobots. mechs can sign up to do scenes with certain partners or just sit on the sidelines and watch it all go down.

a few of the decepticons end up defecting and they get a weird sense of culture shock with how common it is to see interfacing since in con culture that's stupid slag that only softies participate in. actually i think the decepticons would have a completely separate culture regarding interfacing. i think they would be kinky, but they wouldn't consider the bonding/emotional effects of interfacing unless they're real sappy. like interfacing is to blow off steam after a battle, not for having fun with your comrades

drift joins the wreckers and hot rod gives him the best head of his life and then when they cuddle up next to each other drift just has to fucking sit there wondering why no one in the cons cuddled after fucking because this is actually really nice. he gets bent over a table the next morning by blurr and then kup shoves his spike into drift's intake and oh primus drift is having a religious experience now with how well he's getting pounded

i'm going to beam the image of ratchet walking around the ark with his tits fully out and a pair of pretty golden chains pierced through his nozzles and a few particularly handsy bots reach over and tug on them as he passes.

-burnt ice anon

YES. i've seen some instances of “public sex normalized in cybertronian society” and i am LIVING for it. I like the culture shock aspect of it being only autobots who are so open-minded.

A recently defected decepticon just trying to fit in and adapt to the new way of living and they were wholly unprepared to just walk in on people fucking all the time. They walk in on Prowl in his office chair with Jazz slowly grinding against his spike, the sound of his valve gushing is so loud and yet Prowl just keeps on typing away on his data-pad, only occasionally wincing in pleasure. They go to the med-bay next instead but Ratchet's got First Aid sitting on his spike, and it's still weird. They're sitting in the canteen and someone just starts melting right next to them, overloading silly around a remote control vibrator while their partner watches from across the table. Optimus regularly getting jerked off under the desk during high-command meetings, he's pretty sure his side of the desk is completely stained with transfluid from below. Also thank you so much for the image of Ratchet walking around with his titties out. I bet you everyone's sick that day, and absolutely need to be admitted to the medbay and see the doctor right now. He spends the day smacking away wandering hands, though he's only playing hard to get.

hrghhh kink nights with different themes. They get to vote on them weekly. Sometimes a volunteer gets chained and strung up and used repeatedly throughout the night, repeatedly checked up so they're sure he's alright. Sometimes there's pet-play, bots on leashes being told to “go play” with the other pets (i really want to see Sunstreaker for pet-play night… Sunny letting Bluestreak put a leash on him, gritting his teeth the entire time because he's being treated like a domesticated turbofox and it's humiliating and yet it feels so damn good… Sunstreaker rubbing his valve against someone else's, while his owner coos encouragement at him). Or you have simple orgy nights, where people can just blow off steam having sex with anyone. Glory holes in the bathroom that are frequented regularly. Wrecker orgies that shock Drift to the very core but they're fun and he can't complain. And the aftercare is peculiar. They never had anything like that back in the decepticon order.

AYO FAN CONTINUITY IM SO EXCITED

I love ratchet. Question, do the green optics have anything to do with SynthEn, or was ratchet born with it?

also, I'd love to hear about the world building of the fan continuity!!! How did the bots get to earth, and who else is there besides Ratchet, Arcee, and Optimus?

OMG HAIIII :3 aaaaand to answer the eye question: Optics in this universe can be just about any color! the only limitation is that light blue is autobot exclusive, and red is decepticon exclusive! Ratchets eyes aren’t green due to synthen, he’s just like that, BUT the green is a reference to that because i love tfp :333

aaaand so far the only bots ive actually drawn are optimus, elita, bumblebee, cliffjumper, megatron, arcee, blitzwing, prowl, aaand ratchet. but there are many others! so far ive planned for starscream, thundercracker, skywarp, sounwave and the cassettes, shockwave, wheeljack, tarantulas, the dinobots, jazz, ultra magnus, skyfire, ironhide, mirage, hound, trailbreaker, the reflector trio, sideswipe, astrotrain, knockout, breakdown, black arachnia, hot rod, cyclonus, tailgate, the constructicons, blurr, insecticons, blaster, aaaaand more if i come up with good ideas for them

the autobots got to the planet in a similar way to g1! but they weren’t in a 4 million hear coma lol. their ship crashed in nevada (cus tfp had the right idea ngl) and then they decided to bury it so it wouldn’t be discovered. the decepticons followed them in their own ship but lost track of them upon entering the atmosphere, so now they circle the earth (once again tfp style)

Transformers Cowboy AU

So my husband asked me what my HC's would be for the bots in a Western time. And I decided to just make an AU about it. So thank you for giving me the idea about this.

I couldn’t choose between having them be their bot selves or be human formers, so I am choosing both. I am headcannoning them bot or human when I feel like it. And some hc’s change depending on if they are bot or human. Also, it's sort of BayxTFP because I just wanted to add all the bots I wanted into it.

~~

The Autobots live in a small town, that was started by Ultra Magnus and a few other older bots. Eventually Ultra Magnus retired and the other older bots died or moved away. Optimus took over being Sheriff and appointed Bumblebee as his Deputy. Ironhide became their Marshall. 

Hot Rod used to be a Marshall but left to take over a ranch from an old friend of his. 

They often get new bots going to and through their small town. 

They use their farms and ranches to sell products to larger towns and cities that surround them and that is how they get enough money to keep the town going.

Megatron owns a large piece of land outside the town. He runs a farm, brewery and ranch that the other cons work on, as well as the largest mine around. He's in high competition with the Autobots. He also does a lot of robberies, especially stealing from travelers that try to go to the town. Optimus suspects Megatron of the robberies but has never gotten concrete proof in order to put them away. 

So for now they live in somewhat tense, harmony. 

Every year they hold a shooting competition. Games vary from who has the best aim for using a sniper, who can hit the most targets in a certain time and of course who has the quickest draw. Hot Rod has won the quick draw event every year, some say he slows down time in order to win. But no one has proved such a thing. Ironhide can hit the most amount of targets, and Lockdown has the best aim for a sniper. 

They also have other festivals and competitions, such as rodeos, animal wrangling, fishing and they have Energon contests to see which brewery makes the better tasting Energon. The wreckers have won every year, and have the best Energon known for miles around. The cons try very hard to steal their secret recipe, but have yet to accomplish it. 

They have horses, cattle, dogs, cats, and Energon crops.

 Cliffjumper is the best skilled with a lasso. Skids is the best fisherman. 

The wreckers instigate the most amount of bar brawls. Usually not in a vicious manner, just friendly banter that gets out of hand. But a night in the cells sobers them up for work the next day. 

They play a lot of poker, Ratchet and Crosshairs are the best players with the best poker faces. They have a few wins each. 

Jazz plays the piano in the saloon, as well as serving the drinks. He also gets Wheelie to help tend the bar.

Crosshairs wants to be a bounty hunter. But that would mean he would have to leave to go to one of the other cities to get the bounty jobs. And as much as he wants to, he hasn't yet. Some say it's due to a loyalty he feels to the town even though he tries to deny it. 

Bee can't speak, he lost his voice in a gun fight. For bot Bee since there are no TV’s or radio he records other people's voices and sentences and uses them to talk. For human Bee he knows sign language, taught to him by a city folk that traveled through. Some Autobots know sign language, like Hot Rod, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Drift and Optimus. Barricade and Shockwave also know sign language. The others only know basic Sign, not enough to hold a full conversation.

Sideswipe used to be a Marshall but lost his legs after an accident. He now has prosthetics and runs the hotel. He also has a gap tooth after losing it in a saloon brawl.

Please feel free to ask me about this AU, I would love to talk about it and come up with more things about it.

"I'm sorry for what he did to you..." "You still have someone by your side, don't make the same mistake I did, don't turn your back on them."

To Barricade: "Prowl trusted you." "His violence always disturbed me..." "You can't impose your twisted vision of justice on others!" "It's ironic how much you hated criminals..."

To Tarantulas: "You've been here longer." "You and Prowl seem to have a history." "Your experiments are as terrible as Shockwave's!"

Don't take this too seriously, I did it just for fun lol. But I will say, there are some clues to the story here.👀

[cozzzynook]

Someone kidnapping sparkling Hot Rod and Perceptor trying to get him back.

I made this story twice and it kept getting deleted. I really want to crash out honestly.

But this is my third and final attempt at making this so i’ll just say Hot rod is a bitty with a spark condition and he’s taken from Perceptor while the mech is recharging. Perceptor wakes up and wails in anguish going on a bot hunt for his bitty who was taken by a group of mechs who believe bots with a dysfunction, not capable of serving their species or forged from or could forge other bots in the future from tanks.

He finds the group that stole his bitty and offlines them in a carriers rage that leaves them in pieces with their sparks ripped up and some missing chunks from being bitten out.

Hot rod is no longer allowed to sleep in his special made sparkling pod that they stole him in. Instead he’s strapped to Perceptor twenty four seven with his spark wires hooked into his chest and being hefted around on Perceptors hip and back.

Hot rod is not allowed out of Perceptors sight for a very very long time. The wreckers, Optimus, Ratchet, Deadlock, Prowl and Jazz have to intervene and send him to counseling.

Both Hot rod and Perceptor were traumatized by the kidnapping along with every mech aboard the ark and the decepticon side.

Word spread quickly and war just wasn’t on the forefront of any bots mind since almost every bot on both sides had a sparkling or more to protect. War just kind of stops and both sides claim a side of the planet for themselves.

Perceptor eventually learns to let Hot rod stay with others.

He lets Optimus watch Hot rod who plays with Bee. Hot rod and Bee developed differently than most of the sparklings on board. Bee was born too small and unable to process minerals and the ability to naturally create nutrients while Hot rod’s spark was connected to a lot of wires that stabilized it and helped it developed a normal beat.

Perceptor felt most comfortable with Hot rod in Optimus care. His next choice was Deadlock and Ratchet which surprised a lot of bots except for those that knew the three. Deadlock did not play when it came to sparklings and he barely trusted a bot outside of Ratchet and Perceptor with his own bitty First aid. Hot rod enjoyed playing with sparkling sized fake medical tools that Ratchet made for First aid. Ratchet was the best medic cybertron had ever seen and he was perfect to make sure Hot rod was okay. It wasn’t a hard decision like Optimus wasn’t. It was just extremely hard being away from him.

The next bot he left Hot rod with was Kup who was a bit rusty but he did very well. He was an incredible grandsire to Hot rod and Perceptor was sure he was safe since Kup wouldn’t let Hot rod from his arms. He found the two napping together barricaded in Kups office and he just couldn’t be mad.

When it came to letting Jazz and Prowl sparkling sit Hot rod he was…ordered to in a way by Optimus who assured him the two would keep an optic on Hot rod as they did Bumblebee. That gave him great reassurance but he still worried every nano klik.

Jazz and Prowl had two sparklings going on three. Springer was another mechs sparkling but Jazz claimed him as his own as well. Springer was a huge sparkling, really huge. He was scared he’d crush or hurt Hot rod but was pleasantly surprised the bitty was even more careful around Hot rod than a sparkling should be. Bluestreak was a bitty like Hot rod but even he was careful. The three of them had fun playing together and Springer even managed to rest Hot rod against him when he sat up. It was both scary and extremely cute but Perceptor was more than happy to leave Hot rod with them.

His winning moment of loving Springer was when they were all sitting together in the common area talking while their bitties were playing. Bee was rolling on the floor with Bluestreak while First aid was putting band aids on Blasters sparkling. Chromia and Windblades sparkling Arcee was nibbling on Springers helm, the bitty didn’t even mind, while smoothing Hot rods helm.

Perceptor was unapologetically grateful the sparklings had a sense to not be rough with Hot rod or Bee and still included them.

He also fell in love with the big green bitty when a mech came up to the group of sparklings with the creators permission and smiled waving at them. The bot reached out to give a friendly pat to Bee’s helm only for Hot rod to cry out disproving and that made them all slightly alert but they sat still.

The mech moved away and smiled friendly towards Hot rod with their hands in a soft manner moving slowly towards Hot rod who looked at them funny. Only for Springer to slap their servo away and rev his little engine.

None of them had ever seen him do that, not even his creators. Jazz was quick to grab Springer, who was about to flare his plating at the mech, and Hot rod who whined holding onto Springer. Prowl struggled to get up because he was carrying heavy while Perceptor hefted him up and ran to grab Hot rod while Prowl grabbed Springer.

The mech backed off entirely and scurried off making Jazz and Windblade follow.

“Thank you Springer,” Perceptor spoke truthfully, “I’m forever in your debt,” he truly meant it and the others could tell.

Ever since Perceptor was willing to leave his bitty with another but he never let go of being weary of new bots nor did he allow them to look at his bitty too long.
