#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

[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.

[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.

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.

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)

[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.

[glitch-after-dark]

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

[transingthoseformers]

Whirl not only gets away with everything and anything, he is absolutely encouraged by Skywarp. Who is known for pranking his fellow Decepticons. He attempts to reign him in from bothering Megatron once because he isn't sure how he'll take it, but after Rodimus bursts into giggles, Megatron instantly melts from his annoyance chuckles to himself and simply tells Skywarp to teach Whirl to focus on more appropriate targets. Parenthood has had an incredibly mellowing effect. Thr only ones putting in a concentrated effort to reign him in are Thundercracker and Cyclonus. Tiny Ratchet is firm Megatron deserves suffering.

They do have memories that get clearer with age.

Getaway is seething so much. It's Hot Rod and he hates it but Hot Rod also is also one of those parents fascinated with everything their baby does and smothers him in attention and affection which is doing wonders for helping his issues even if he keeps trying to remember he doesn't like Hot Rod. Hot Rod is a very young parent and fussy and worrying so he compensates by trying to keep a cloae eye on him and give him all the attention and affection that Hot Rod as a war orphan lacked in his earliest years.

G1 Ravage finds the smaller version cute and appropriately fiery. He couldn't be happier, and MTMTE Ravage finds a reflection of his own family that he severely missed.

Brainstorm is such a trouble child. He is a genius who preens and saunters around bragging loudly and reminds Skyfire painfully of Starscream, who is definitely eyeballing the tiny jet from a distance. Though there is one accidental kidnapping that results in bonding time and Starscream is veey firm he is nlt attached to Skyfire's kid he just can't trust anyone else to watch him while ransom is negotiated. Regardless of how adorable and clever he is designing weaponry and how much fun helping him build the miniature gun he designed was.

Rung and Megatron are absolute angels, and after one horribly panicked afternoon of losing Rung, he's so small, he is constantly being held by someone.

There are absolutely a few comments especially about Megatron though Ratchet confirms he was there for it.

A few of them have concerns. Jazz worries about how unsocial Damus is and how he struggles to fit in. Wheeljack has similar concerns about Deathsaurus, which leads to his "siblings" being built earlier. And playdates.

The Coneheads are terrified because they have no idea how to raise a motorcycle, and Chromedome is so depressed until he meets tiny Rewind. Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod bond even more about their shared concerns about parenthood.

Springer and Arcee are concerned about Pharma's newly discovered bulkying tendencies once he meets Damus.

Sunstreaker is overprotective of Drift because he is very, very obviously part Decepticon and he isn't Optimus Prime so he hears comments and there are some fights. As far is he's concerned Drift is perfect and anyone who thinks otherwise answers to him.

Shockwave bemoans Perceptor's strange fussiness concerning ethics but indulges him as it is Perceptor's experiments.

Skywarp being a bad influence makes sense, that's adorable and hilarious. He gets away with so much

OO okay makes sense, wonder what'll happen in regards to the memories as they age and start to communicate and everything (how much do they still relate to their previous lives? Is a question that comes with all reincarnation things)

Omg that's so fucking sweet. Getaway is a problem child and Hot Rod is doing the best thing for it: patiently understanding him and caring for him. Aww yes. Smother that fucker in love and see how it affects him.

Exactly, mtmte Rav is gonna get so much

One accidental kidnapping

I have a feeling I know what happened /hj

Baby!Rung is so fucking little, both physically and in little guy vibes. I wonder how he'll differ from his previous life

It is yet again baby Tarn time and it's always fun to see how he fits into a new life (when his memories begin to bubble up again it's going to be a nightmare)

Also seeing little Des and the dinobots play is an adorable image

Adorable image of the coneheads and just. Itty bitty motorcycle.

It's interesting to see how some mecha are drawing off of their old lives for new patterns, makes sense but still. Fascinating.

Awww YES SUNNY WIN. that there is his child and talk shit get hit

Shockwave: odd request, but I do not why i should not grant it

[vixendoesstuff]

So. Transformers.

AAAAAAAAA-

So I got some OC ideas for this godforsaken fandom yipee. Not sure which continuity these guys will be in since I haven't got into them yet (I've only been exposed to the Bayverse, Earthspark and Prime (not the entire Alligned continuity)). But I think, with the ideas I have for them right now, they lean more towards Prime specifically. But as I get deeper into this robot rabbit hole, I'll make them more flexible so that they can exist in other incarnations. Probably.

But anyway, I'll be putting them in bullet points 'cause these plans aren't concrete yet. So here goes:

H-055/Hurricane/Horizon

Name is undecided, but it starts with an H

I'll probably change it if I somehow find a character with the exact same names, I know the series has loads of 'em

But anyway

He's a Decepticon turned rouge then turned Autobot once he meets the gang

Due to some events happening with the 'Cons, he ran away, declaring himself a deserter

He's based on a helicopter vehicle

Probably some fancy space lookin' helicopter before he got a makeover when he visits Earth (this is important)

I'm not sure yet on what his Alt-Mode's exact model will be, but it's either something like this (Sikorsky X2):

Or this (Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk):

Either way he's a helicopter boi

And he's moderately fast. Not as fast as the jet planes, but he's somewhat speedy

His role in the army was mostly cargo lifting, he's not much involved in the fight unless absolutely necessary

So in terms of personality, he's definitely textbook introvert

He'd rather stick to the sidelines than lead, so when it comes to task he's somewhat reliable

At the start, he can be kind of aloof and cold, but it's not intentional; he just doesn't know how to set up a proper conversation

In other words he's socially awkward

And he's somewhat infamous for looking one second away from falling to sleep; guy got eyebags (can robots have eyebags? Or is it optic-bags?) and moves kinda slow when not in combat, and and talks very softly

He takes a lot of naps, but the feeling of lethargy remains

Probably why his role in the army is not one of combat

But he's hella loyal, and very caring to those who earned his affections

Just try to remind him to take a break before he falls into pieces lol

Now, moving on to the next OC idea:

V-V0X/Velocity/Boombox

Name is also undecided, but it's one of those two

But anyway

He's an Autobot who specializes in support, where he essentially acts as a debuffer for the front liners, stunning enemies and creating hazards to make an opening for the army

That's the best way I can explain it

Anyway

For what vehicle he's based on, I'm still deciding on what kind; initially I wanted him to be a sports car, but then I was thinking of a pickup truck or a tow truck of some kind

Maybe something like this (Chevrolet Silverado):

Just like before, his Alt-Mode is possibly some futuristic looking car similiar to the picture above until he got a new make over

Anyway, onto personality

Hmmm

Best way I can describe him is that he's basically Pandreo from Fire Emblem, but more subdued

He's not as cheery as, say, Bumblebee or Jazz or Hot Rod or any other energetic character in their many incarnations, he's still noticeably lively

He has difficulties reading the room, especially when he's excited, so maybe that's why he's called rude

But nah man, he just wanna have fun

But he's also kinda scared of authority? In a way? I don't know how to describe it, but he'll get kind of scared when in the presence of someone like Optimus Prime and even Megatron

Just basically people with a noticeable air of authority around them

Heck, maybe he'll even be scared of someone like Ratchet or Bumblebee, even

Even with that, he cares alot for his friends, he'll try and comfort them in whatever ways he can, like music

This guy really loves music, especially when he encounters Earth music

He's definitely the type of guy to jam to some rock music with an air guitar all obnoxiously lol

Conclusion; he babey

Alright, that's all I have. For each of their lore, I'm still trying to work the kinks out, 'cause WOW Transformers has so many things I didn't even know about. Like, Velocitron, Praxus, Kaon, and all that jazz (heh)? Titans? Predacons? Eukarians? I don't even know at this point lol.

But anyway.

So like I mentioned before, these 2 guys' story will primarily take place in the Prime universe (or the Alligned universe, I guess) since that's what I'm most familiar with for now. The gist of it is;

Hurricane runs away from the 'Cons, Velocity gives chase, they both crash landed onto Earth at different times with Hurricane being the first to enter, when they found each other they got damaged badly by an intense hurricane (which is where Hurricane got his name from), they got found by their designated human partner and got fixed up, some plot happens, they all bond, Hurricane decides to join the Autobots, and he and Velocity leaves their human to keep them safe and to explore the world as they search for more Autobots together.

And also they fell in love and became Conjux's together, I don't make the rules.

Also also they landed in Florida. Just because.

That's all I got for now, I'll make another post once I got more stuff for them, like their lore and all tht stuff. Until then, take care!

[elfdragon12]

Sometimes I think about the complaint that Hasbro keeps "pandering" to diehard G1 fans.

How familiar are the people making this complaint with the G1 cartoon? Do they only know the first few episodes of the first season? Do they know that there's canonical cross-faction friendship in season 3 (Sandstorm and Octane)? Do they understand that there's a wide variety of stories and there are episodes that barely have any Autobot-Decepticon fighting at all?

What counts as pandering? Is it using the mainstay characters mainly from season 1? Is it revisiting the "Transformers land on Earth and continue the war" plot? Is it "anything I find vaguely reminiscent of G1" like the time I saw someone call the 2019 IDW run a G1 remake?

Are they ready to have stories without Optimus Prime or Megatron? Without Grimlock or Wheeljack? Without Arcee or Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime? No Starscream, no Ultra Magnus, No Elita-1, no Shockwave, no Ratchet, no Jazz, no Soundwave, no Ratchet, no Kup, no Constructicons or Combaticons or Aerialbots or Insecticons? I've personally tried asking folks on this site to make their own cast without the top 10 franchise G1 mainstays and multiple people just said they'd remake MTMTE which included 3 of the 10, 2 more of them in flashbacks (and also IDW1 is a G1 remake and most of the lead characters from that specific story show up in the G1 cartoon, even Swerve and Tailgate).

Do the people who claim Hasbro is constantly pandering read or watch anything that isn't mainstream or before 2007 or wasn't originally published in the US? Have they watched Beast Wars and Beast Machines? Have they watched Headmasters or Super-God Masterforce or Victory or Zone? Have they read the Marvel comics that goes way off from what the cartoon did? Some of the material is harder to find than others, but that nor its age doesn't make it worthless or mean that it should be ignored.

Do the folks able to buy the toys of characters who aren't from G1?

Do these fans know what they really want? Or is it meaningless malcontent as an excuse to never find anything acceptable enough?

Some thoughts.

[falliay]

P-food anon here. Sorry for responding so late, I keep forgetting.

Do you have a list of the characters you have backstories and/or headcanons on? I don't want to ask about a character you haven't done yet and leave you scrambling for ideas to answer the question.

Don’t worry about it, P-food Anon!

I have headcanons for almost every Autobot and Decepticon from G1 season 1(+ a few others)! But here’s a list:

Bluestreak; Sunstreaker & Sideswipe; Hound; Mirage; Cliffjumper; Prowl; Jazz; Optimus; Ratchet; Arcee; Wheeljack; Ironhide; Hot Rod; and so on… some of them are pretty small characters still but I enjoy scrambling for ideas to answer a question cause it does help me build the character. Of course, everything can and will change while I further develop the story.

Starscream; Soundwave; Shockwave; Blitzwing; Six Shot; Reflector; Megatron; Skywarp; Thundercracker; The Stunticons; … I still have a lot to work on for the Decepticons.

The ones in italic bold are the ones I have more info about compared to the others.

I haven’t really introduced the vibes of my continuity yet have I? It’s still about the Autobot-Decepticon war, but it focuses on the psychological aspects of the conflict. The personal flaws of the characters involved and how the war has affected their lives.

Here’s what I said to my friends while trying to explain it:

“Alright,

To get started, this continuity isn’t thaaat dark but it does cover some uncomfortable topics. It’s mostly just silly and funky. I also recycle a lot of stuff from different continuities I like and think fits

So the Ark and the Nemesis crash on Earth after an intense fight in space. The Ark, which previously held maaaany many many autobots, got absolutely obliterated from the crash

Most of the Autobots who were on board did not survive or got incapacitated. Optimus was among those who had to be out of battle for some time. During his recovery, Prowl commanded the autobots with the help of Jazz

The Decepticons had it rough as well. Their leader was also incapacitated in the crash… or maybe by some proud seeker. Starscream had to step up as commander and lead the Decepticons while Megatron was away

What makes this different from the other continuities is that there’s a sparkling on board. Ratchet, before the Ark even left Cybertron, had rescued a lone spark he had found in Decepticon territory. After a lot of arguing, the rest of the crew decided to take care of the spark, even tho their situation was already crappy enough”

And that Sparkling is Hot Rod.

Other interesting stuff in my AU:

Praxian / Seeker dynamic

Prowl / Starscream temporary commander troubles

Autobots slowly realizing Optimus isn’t the idealized leader they thought they had

[cyber-streak-2]

{The ghost that lives in/haunts the Autobot’s base and who they all befriended doesn’t remember her name, so the Autobots just call her by certain nicknames, while also trying to think of an actual name, because a lot of the nicknames are usually ‘Kid’, ‘Ghost’, ‘Spirit’, stuff like that.}

{The ghost can’t actually leave the base, so as much as she wants to leave with the Autobots sometimes, or go after a ‘Con (mainly Megatron) if any of them did something, she really can’t.}

Even if these ones aren’t around- since, y’know, death, I’d still want to mention what they’re called, anyway:

Hot Rod: They/Them/Themself.

Red Alert: He/Him/Himself, She/Her/Herself.

Jazz: It/It’s/Itself, He/Him/Himself.

Alpha Trion: He/Him/Himself.

Arcee: She/Her/Herself, MtF.

Sideswipe: They/Them/Themself, He/Him/Himself.

Sunstreaker: He/Him/Himself, FtM.

{While Thundercracker is doing things in Universe 2, it spots a little puppy being attacked by something, and saves her- and after doing so, TC decides to adopt the puppy. The puppy is Buster, although he doesn’t come up with the name for about three months, so it just calls her ‘puppy’ for a while.}

{Grimlock already got accidentally sent to Universe 2, where Wheeljack was— and shortly after that, about one month, the rest of the Dinobots ended up with there with Grim and their dad. Ratchet is worried.}

{There were more that Megatron had killed besides the seven first mentioned. And those are:

Bluestreak: He/Him/Himself, FtM.

Springer: He/Him/Himself.

Riptide: They/Them/Themself.

Cerebros: It/It’s/Itself, They/Them/Themself.

Eject: They/Them/Themself.

Sentinel Prime: He/Him/Himself.}

{In Universe 1, since no human actually knows about the Autobots or ‘Cons there, when Powerglide met Astoria- and the two eventually started dating- the two planned on not telling anybody.}

{Just like IDW, Tarantulas & Springer are father and son. Tarantulas knows that Springer is dead- which is already bad enough, but Tarantulas doesn’t know that it was Megs who killed him. But when it does find out...}

More alive characters that are fully present in this:

Sky-Byte (Universe 1): He/Him/Himself, They/Them/Themself.

{Sky-Byte was originally a Decepticon in this, but about eleven years ago before all the Universe stuff started, he decided to join the Autobots}

Dark-Scream (Universe 1): They/Them/Themself.

{Dark-Scream, like Sky-Byte, was originally a Decepticon. Although they never joined the Autobots- instead, they are a neutral, but they and Sky-Byte frequently help each-other out, and just hang out.}

Overlord (Unknown): He/Him/Himself, They/Them/Themself, She/Her/Herself.

{Overlord certainly has plans to step on someone once they get out of this Void and into one of the Universes.}

Star Saber (Universe 2): He/Him/Himself.

{Star Saber never had Jan in Universe 1, however, he’ll finally get a son in Universe 2.}

{Star Saber is almost never around the rest of the Autobots- both in Universe 2 and 1, his appearance is rare, even on the day when he got taken to the second Universe with everyone else.}

[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

[deepfriedhopesanddreams]

Bumblebee: ...

Optimus prime: ... Bumblebee?.... I'll send those stasis pods as soon as possible... Are you ready to do it?

Bumblebee: absolutely, I should go, it's time

Optimus prime: of course

*Bumblebee ended the call and walked right back to the group, bots still walking and playing around*

Bumblebee: everyone, may I have your attention please?

*everyone stopped to listen to him*

Bumblebee: are you all ready to do it? To finally move to a new safer home?

Every facility bots: *cheering*

Bumblebee: alright! Let's do it!

*Back on Cybertron*

Hot Rod: this is big news! Like- that many bots just hanging around earth?!

Jazz: I know right, now how does this place look?

*Autobots were preparing for the new bots arrival in Iacon City. Bots gathered around after the news, even disguised Decepticons took an interest to this sudden announcement.*

Ratchet: are you sure Bumblebee told you everything?

Optimus prime: ... Certainly, old friend..

*Optimus prime didn't really tell the darker parts of the story to everyone on Cybertron. He felt the same sense of fear for Shutter's actions, just like Bumblebee, he kept her a secret. To protect her and everyone.*

*after some hours*

*The city looks grand and colorful. The bots all gathered around a ground bridge at the center.*

Optimus prime: *clears throat* everyone, may I have your attention please?

*everyone became quiet. Listening closely*

Optimus prime: we are gathered here today to celebrate, today is the day, new bots will arrive from earth, to be a part of our home-

Some random bot: and the fact that we almost died earlier?

Optimus prime: ye- yes that as well... Now let us begin this new bond now!

*Ratchet knew his que, he pressed the buttons.

The Ground Bridge activated. A foot came through. Noxweaver, holding Ava next to him. He and Ava look scared and nervous.*

Optimus prime: welcome to Cybertron

Noxweaver: uhm, thank you sir

Ava: *bows down*

*soon, more bots walked through. Different variations and features.

On the other side.

Carmine and Shutter's other minicons were deciding if they wanted to go or not.*

Shutter: it's okay... This is what you wanted right Carmie? To go home? I'll be fine, you can take care of yourselves.

Carmine: ... Alright...

*him and the other minicons finally left her. Choosing to stay on Cybertron.

Everyone on Cybertron is overjoyed by the now bots arrival. Everyone except for the human allies and Shutter stayed back on earth.*

Hot Rod: hey hey! We know Optimus prime said this before, but Welcome to Cybertron!

Mother bot: it's incredible to learn that there's an actual place for us to stay

Minicon son: yeah!

Smokescreen: now, I think we should show you around!

Bumblebee: but make it nice and slow, they're still new to all of this... Baby steps

Smokescreen: right right, well everyone, follow me!

Another part! (It got laggy again!)

@bloombird

*back at the scrapyard*

Danny: hey! Wow! You guys got a lot of cons! And-

*Shutter didn't hide her true form.*

Fixit: *yelps* m- m- monster!

Bumblebee: not a monster! It's just Shutter...

Russell: Shutter? How? What?

Bumblebee: ...

Enma: worry not my friends-

*defense systems activated. Though they're aimed at the new minicons, they dodged lasers easily. Bumblebee ordered Fixit to deactivate the blasters. Fixit does so. The minicons remained unscathed.

Shutter places down Wildbreak. Looking at him sadly.*

Strongarm: she helped us earlier, thank you Shutter

Shutter: ...

Grimlock: why so upset? You did a great job!

Shutter: I need to sit somewhere...

Danny: uhm okay, bye? What's that all about?

Image description 1 of 4: TR Windblade, FoC Jazz, S86 Hot Rod, PotP Elita One, and Arcee (kitbash from WfC Nightbird) stand facing WfC Siege Megatron, WfC Siege Starscream, and BBM Howlback. Elita and Megatron appear to be arguing, Hot Rod is turned away with a hand to their head, Arcee is drawing her swords from her back stacks with one already ignited, and Starscream has one of his shoulder null ray rifles aimed at her. End image description.

One of four photo panels in a wordless story about Megatron that gets kind of violent. Also Gauge makes an appearance! This isn’t related to what we write  but we put the photos together because Megatron was trending on Twitter (what with the SDCC reveal of the Legacy BM Megatron). Continue, if you’d like...

Image description 2 of 4: Megatron, Howlback, BW Archadis, and Gen Selects Nightbird overrun WfC Slammer, Cyberverse Thunderhowl, WfC Siege Sideswipe, and Cyberverse Alpha Trion. Specifically, Slammer is bisected with Howlback running across him, Archadis fires another pistol blast into a downed Thunderhowl, Nightbird runs a sword through Sideswipe, and Megatron blasts Alpha Trion in the head with his fusion cannon. End image description.

Image description 3 of 4: With a sci-fi polityscape behind them, battle is met between Autobots and Decepticons: Arcee and Megatron clash swords as the elder pink warrior brings her blade between Megatron's fusion cannon and his arm. Gauge (kitbash of Sonicblue Bumble) rushes behind her, while Hot Rod and shatter exchange blasts, with Pyra Magna running in with her axe raised. Near the front, Impossible Toys Glyph takes a missile shot in the torso from BM Strika on the other side of the field, and BBM Ratchet sprints from the back to help the injured Autobot. Cyberverse Dead End lies immobile on the ground, with PotP Octopunch using him for cover to exchange shots with T30 Cosmos and WfC Rattrap. In the back on the Decepticon side, Vertebreak is running in, WfC Cyclonus lobs a mortar like blast with his blaster, and WfC Siege Starscream is... running away. End image description.

Image description 4 of 4: Battle has subsided. Jazz, Pyra Magna, Cyclonus, MMC Nickel, BBM Frenzy, Rattrap, and Cosmos look on as Gauge's swords meet Megatron's own blade, and his head. Ratchet is repairing Glyph with a repair gun, and Velocity (kitbash from TR Blurr) runs in holding Rung in his alt mode, while an injured Hot Rod points her in Arcee's direction, who sits on the ground with one back stack on the ground and the other out of position. Shatter lies offline opposite Hot Rod, barely visible Vertebreak scrambles from the ground, and Strika has a fire going through her dorsal frame. Greenlight, sword and rifle in hand, is just behind and keeping pace with Velocity.  End image description.

For real though Gauge taking down Megatron would be really cool and would give pause we think. There’s a whole arc you could fit in there before that, okay truth be told these photos have some bearing on the Autosignet Cycle we’re writing, Gauge gets a rising vanguard arc and learns to use two swords like her mentor, among other things. We won’t spoil more

[artsy-hobbitses]

Yooooo! I've dreamt of your Humanformers! I literally woke up laughing!

Basically it was that everyone, Autobots and Decepticons alike, went to a farm together (probably pre-war, I was also there). Hound was on cloud nine while sleeping on the soft grass and wearing a crown of daisies, Bee was petting the bunnies, Jazz was laughing at Prowl for being disgusted by the scent of manure and a donkey started following him around, Laserbeak, Ravage and Soundwave were busy petting the chickens (Soundwave was particularly literally covered by baby chicks and smiling, OP and Megs were riding on the hills on two beautiful horses, Windblade was showing Starscream how to gently hold a lamb, and the Lambo Twins were trying to figure out how to make a cow budge (she was standing in the middle of the road and they couldn't pass), and so on.

I am extremely fond of turkeys, and I enjoy annoying them IRL by making gobble sounds. In this dream, I was doing the same. The problem was, that in this case the bastard was a mean one, and he started chasing me around, attacking me. I was yelling and crying and begging for someone to help me, and pretty much everyone now was also chasing me to stop the turkey from attacking me, when I heard a loud 'BANG!' and poor turkey fell to the ground. I turned around and I saw Ironhide, holding a shotgun. 'Happy Thanksgiving,' he said with the mlst serious voice. Ratchet was throwing hands, while Drift and Hot Rod were rolling on the ground in laughter (grannies Kup and Nickel made dinner). I kinda feel bad for the poor turkey, but the dream made me wake up laughing.

Thank you for being such an amazing creator!

Okay so like

1. This is WILD AF and so vivid! I’m surprised you remembered so many details!

2. This makes my heart so full for some reason? Like this is what they were, how they were meant to be, side by side and at peace even ;u; I totally have a need to draw OP/Megs and Windblade/Starscream and Hound/Mirage just laying on the grass now.

Thank you for sharing and the kind words!
