#Megatron wants to nap

[namelessknight]

~A Letter To a Decepticon~

To think…to think I loved you.

Of course I love you…but…

I don’t know how I feel about you anymore.

I miss those optics that looked into my own.

I miss the way you put an arm around me.

I felt so warm.

I miss how your laugh could light up a room.

I miss how tired you were and how you would nestle into me.

I miss having you beneath me.

I want you back.

But yet I can’t.

As a prime I can’t let my emotions & past effect me and my autobots.

But when I look into those optics and see your face.

I wish to see your smile.

I wish to see that passion you showed me that night.

I wish I could hold you.

I wish…I wish I still loved you.

…Bro…

I think Soundwave should get to knock Megatron out with a weighted blanket to get him to sleep

[devotedlystrangewizard]

the first time i watched s3 of tfp i didnt pay attention at ALL (was busy playing zelda) how did i just straight up not pick up on soundwave being captured. hes the funniest motherfucker in the entire show i love him so much

[lockheed-martin-unofficial]

I was thinking about Cybertronians freezing in the Arctic due to the ice that forms on them instead of just the cold & not knowing what humidity is again, and what if they weren’t instantly aware of all the abilities of their alt modes?

They’d have a warmup period after scanning them and have to gradually get used to/ discover all the things they can do. There’s little to no water on cybertron, no reason for them to know that ice forms in the cold, no reason for them to have de-icing. And when they come to earth and choose aircraft as their new vehicle modes, they have no idea those aircraft come with built in warmers on the wings.

I thought about how some flying decepticons would deal with it. Let’s go with Starscream first because I love him very much.

(Also because he complains about cold the most out of all the characters. I imagine everyone ices up the same amount, but the cold is an entirely different problem and one that affects him more because he’s all thin and lanky, not very good at retaining heat. It’s worth clarifying that the freezing is what’s dangerous to them. The cold bothers them but isn’t a threat in and of itself, seeing as they can walk around in space just fine. But I ramble on)

- If he had a human friend or partner, he’d be complaining about how cold it is in front of them and they’d be like “Wait, aren’t you a plane?” He’d ask what that has to do with anything and get very annoyed that he didn’t know he came with extra heating.

- He claims he totally knew about that all along and merely forgot about it in the moment. He also claims he totally knows how to turn it on, but…remind him again?

- The realization that he can just… make himself warmer at will is incredible. He’s still gonna complain about the cold though. Probably out of instinct, he complains to fill the silence. (Is it obvious I want him to be safe and warm. I think it’s obvious.)

- Cue a concerned human asking if he’s been flying through clouds and terrible weather and all the way into the stratosphere with ice building on his wings for all this time. How is he still flying? He just replies that he’s built different, and that he’s far superior to human machines yap yap yap blah blah.

- He doesn’t want to admit how great it is, but after the human shows him how to turn it on, he’d be waking around with the de-icing turned on all day, even when he doesn’t need it. I reckon it’d make the area between his wings an excellent nap spot. He could just put a human in there and squeeze them between his wings and it’d feel like being put in one of these bad boys, I dunno what they’re called in English

In any case, peak nap spot.

Up next is Megan:

- Megatron doesn’t actually have an earth based vehicle mode, leading me to believe he wouldn’t have any form of de-icing. My headcanon is that his bigger, bulkier frame would require and generate more heat, but look at him.

He got a lot of nooks and crannies that ice could build up in. Even spikier than Starscream. Much like Starscream he doesn’t have paint which may also have acted like an extra layer of heat insulation. Additionally, his joints on the arms and legs are visible.

(Actually unsure if Starscream is painted and just gray, but Megs definitely isn’t)

- My point is, I’m not an ice expert but Megatron is terrible for both heat insulation and icing prevention. Megatron is a tough bot, he can take a lot of punches, and as prideful as he is I doubt he’d ignore the fact that a snowstorm would be a genuine threat or hinderance to him.

- Not that he’d let anyone notice, of course. He has a reputation to maintain, and he can’t allow anyone to know his weakness. When he’s in private though, I find the image of evil dictator Megs snuggled up in a billion blankets drinking a hot cocoa hilarious. I’ll probably draw it.

- A human pal or partner may not be able to advise him to turn on de-icing that he doesn’t have, but they might be able to offer him another solution. A badass cloak or cape to protect himself from the snow, while also remaining intimidating. Anyone would think it was just for show, unaware that it’s actually to keep him from freezing.

Last but certainly not least, Soundwave!

-Oh, Soundwave totally knew about the de-icing without needing anyone to mention it. Soundwave knows a lot of things. He’d totally read his own altmode’s manual. I don’t think we’ve ever seen Soundwave in the Arctic though.

Trying to find a good gif for my own reference hang on-

- I’d argue that out of these three he’s probably best with the cold. Sure, he’s spiky too, but nowhere near the other two. His “elbows” are awfully small and exposed, but since his wings form the arms there’d be no issue once he turned on the de-icing. In the gif he easily covers his entire body with those huge arms, so he could easily curl up around himself and defrost if be needed to. Now here’s a good writing idea I probably will never use

- Laserbeak probably has its own de-icing, which makes Soundwave extra warm when he requires it. ADDITIONALLY Laserbeak could be deployed in order to warm up a human friend or partner from afar. Tactical warms.

- Not much to say about Soundwave. Maybe I’ll edit and add later.

BabyBee Snippet

I made that post and almost immediately fell ill. Am I cursed? Whatever, here’s a piece for @yuukirita, who owes me copious amounts of therapy and I’m bribing them with this so at least one story has a happy ending.

~~~

Elita places her face in her servos and screams.

Across from her, Optimus frowns and gently pats her on the back. “Jazz, you’re sure B just… disappeared?”

“I wouldn’t lie about that!” Jazz places a servo on his chest, the dramatics failing to fully cover up the nervous twitches of his door wings. Elita had made several threats, and he was not eager to find out what having a mining drill through his spinal strut felt like.

“The vents,” Elita says, sighing deeply. “He’s small. He went through the fragging vents.”

Jazz spares a glance up, finally noticing how the vent cover for the room is eskew. “Primus,” he says. “That kid is going to be the death of me.”

“No,” Elita says, “I’m going to be the death of you—“

Optimus tries to grab her arm but she dodges out of the way, rapidly approaching Jazz. Said bot starts running away, propelled by fear and the desire to live.

The Prime watches them run out of the room, letting out a frame rattling sigh. Then he taps his comms. “Ratchet, prepare the medbay. Tell Prowl we might be scraping up parts of Jazz for the next few days.”

—

“How did you get here?”

“The vents!”

Megatron stares down at a very cheery, somewhat dull pile of gold. That explains the dust. “B, you can’t be here.”

The newbuild pouts. “But I wanted to see you! I’m making sure you’re okay!”

Megatron pinches his nasal ridge. “There. Confirmation, I’m fine. Now, stay here, I’m going to have a very awkward conversation with Optimus Prime—“

“Negative. B: ours.” Soundwave, coming from a door he didn’t even know was there, scoops up B and immediately backs away.

Megatron blanks for a klik, before letting out a series of random noises. “Soundwave, what?!” 

From the hidden door, Starscream and Shockwave cheer. 

“You’re in on this?!”

Soundwave reaches them and, with some hisses and B’s giggles, they flee the scene. All three of his most trusted advisors just bot-napped Optimus Prime’s kid.

What the f—

Tfp Ratchet x fembot, here it goes back to when Ratchet got the Synthetic Energon, Ratchet treats the reader well, acting when they were both young before the war, they are both Conjux and they were when they were young Bots before, Inspiration, "ancient marriage".

TFP! Ratchet w/ S/O while on Synth En.

Character: Ratchet (Transformers Animated) Requester: @zinnia1506 A/N: Short but good maybe? Idk, you tell me! Have fun reading! ⚠️ Spoilers/Trigger Warnings for: Mentions of injuries, bleeding (energon), and Ratchet not being his grumpy self (a crime in my world) ⚠️

╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗

╚═════ Ratchet ═══════════════════════════════╝

⚕️ When you first met Ratchet, you loved how sweet and fun-loving he was, but as he and you aged and eventually became, as Miko says, 'titular old-people', your love for him never wavered

⚕️ But, when Optimus confronted you and asked if Ratchet had done anything with the Synthetic Energon recipe, you were very confused. Why was he asking you this?

"Y/N, my dearest sparkmate!" Ratchet yelled, wrapping his arms around you and picking you up, making you squeak in shock.

⚕️ He spun you around as you clung your limbs inside, trying not to break anything as he spun you around the base. You're not the biggest bot, but certainly not the smallest

"Ratchet, what is going on with you?" You asked as he set you down.

"Nothing's wrong. Is it so bad that I wanted to show my one and only some affection?"

"Considering the fact that whenever you try picking me up after a battle, your spinal-cord gets sore, resulting in you whining about how much it hurts... then yes."

"Well, my spinal-cord feels fine. So, do you wanna go on a drive?" Ratchet asked as he reached out and grabbed your arm, pulling you away.

"What- whoa!"

»–•–«

⚕️ It was when Ratchet's signal came back online and you, with the the rest of the team, went off and you saw Knockout attacking your sparkmate when you snapped, pushing your warrior-strength out once more

⚕️ You ran up and allowed your arm to become a spear, which you used to stab the Decepticon's abdomen. As he yelled in pain and stumbled back, you kicked his backwards and into the rocky-walls

"You scratched my paint and stabbed me! What is wrong with you?!"

⚕️ Ratchet walked over and grabbed the tube full of synthetic energon, making the 'Con and you look at him with either anger of confusion

"What are going to do? Drink it?" He yelled.

"No. I'm going to destroy it."

⚕️ Throwing the energon next to the 'Con, you smirked. Now that was the mech you loved

"You idiot! Megatron will have my head!" Knockout exclaimed, making you snort in amusement.

"How fortunate for me." You said.

⚕️ Knockout then drove off as the rest of the team arrived, and that was when you heard Ratchet fall behind you. And when you turned around and looked at him, you saw he had a massive wound in his chest and it was letting out a lot of energon, and fast...

»–•–«

⚕️ Optimus walked away from Ratchet, whom was awakening from a stasis-nap, and nodded to you as you laid down a few more cubes of the energon down

⚕️ You walked up to him and sighed, gripping his servo in your own, which made him groan and attempt sitting up. And, as the only clearly-thinking one in that duo, you pushed him back down, telling him to stay

"Y/N... I need to say something."

"If it's an apology, it's not needed, Ratchet."

"No, you need it. I- I was being a jerk-"

"No. You were being the you I fell for back then. But the thing is... I don't want that mech anymore. I want the one that I've aged with."

⚕️ Smiling down at him, Ratchet chuckled before groaning in pain once more. You rolled your optics and leaned down, laying your head down on his, which made him close his optics and sign gently

"Don't ever change yourself again, Ratchet."

"As long as you don't do it either." He teased.

"I promise."

Transformers one

Part two : baby on board

After b-127 sparklings are born, everybody in the decepticon base is surprised, because the sparklings are quite chubby and a lil big, bee is tired after emergence but happy with the babies,after a few days everybody in the base got to meet and hold the sparklings from rumble and frenzy (the self proclaimed cool uncles) to the always mean constructicons (thet didn't want to until they got glared by megatron and had to hold the babies before passing them between each other and then back to bee and uncle (¿grandpa?) Megs.

Some cons will get crushes when seeing bee taking care of his sparklings, sadly now if anyone wants to date bee they will have to fight megatron like it was the dark ages.

I LOVE this au/idea

Megatron is so dad/big brother coded in transformers one towards b 127 & i just know he is so protective & has open and bias favoritism for the bitties and Bee.

Bee doesn’t even abuse it, just takes care of his sparklings while staying out of the way and often around high command who literally verbally fight each other over who gets to play with and keep the bitties.

Its almost always the trine wining due to Starscream cheating or Soundwave who is a natural favorite since he’s such an amazing cassette carrier.

Poor Shockwave enjoys his turn when Bee is taking a short recharge nap but he’ll take what he can get.

Megs?

Infinite time to see and hold the bitties.

Literally the safest place they can be besides Bee’s arms.

I love this au 😭 thank you for sharing

A continuation of the previous post.

Bot Buddy the single parent with Megatron, Starscream, Knockout and Breakdown

SFW, Platonic, Cybertronain reader

TFP

Megatron

Despite everything this war has taught him, Megatron has some respect for Buddy.

Raising a sparkling by oneself was already a feat on its own.

Adding the length of the war was something else.

He usually has Buddy stationed on the Nemesis with their sparkling, but he does make them go out into the field. Especially when he is full of dark energon or feeling particularly moody.

He doesn’t know how Buddy has stayed sane through all of this.

On the chances he sees Buddy having a slow day, there is a chance that he will have them go rest. But he doesn’t take care of the sparkling directly.

No, he leaves that to some of his other soldiers or Soundwave.

Never Starscream, even he knows that’s a bad idea.

“Buddy.”--Megatron

Buddy tries to stand a bit straighter.

“Lord Megatron.”--Buddy

The sparkling starts playing with their face.

“… Take the rest of the evening off. If the sparkling is giving you trouble, take them to Soundwave.”--Megatron

Starscream

Under no circumstance is Starscream to come to the sparkling alone.

Not that he wants too anyway.

It’s not that he entirely despises the sparkling, he has his moments of ‘weakness’.

Mainly because he sees a potential threat in the sparkling.

But he also sees an opportunity with the sparkling.

He could either try and raise it to be loyal to him and not Megatron.

Or the other way…

Playing hostage, but he hasn’t found a chance for that yet.

He does not care if Buddy is having a slow day, in fact, he might be extra critical and whinier if he does see them on a slow day.

… depending on who’s around…

Buddy’s helm nodding up and down from lack of sleep while their sparkling sleeps soundly in their little sparkling sling.

“Wake up! We don’t stand for slackers around here Buddy. Or do you need a reminder?”--Starscream

Buddy gulps a bit trying to shield their sparkling from Starscream as they type faster.

Knockout and Breakdown

One of Buddy’s saving graces on this ship.

The pair are one of Buddy’s top picks in babysitting.

The pair has respect for Buddy.

Knockout knows for a fact that Buddy isn’t exactly Con material and them being here was almost a mystery.

But then again Breakdown wasn’t Con material deep down either.

He wants to know why they are a Con but that’s a question for another day.

Breakdown loves taking care of the little one when they have the chance.

The former Wrecker takes care of the physical and play time things while Knockout takes care of the nap time and clean up.

If the pair sees Buddy having a slow day, they make sure that Buddy gets their rest.

“Buddy, you know what time it is?”--Knockout

“…Umm..”--Buddy

“Too slow, go take a nap.”--Knockout

“But—”--Buddy

“Breakdown you know the drill.”--Knockout

Breakdown takes the sparkling from the sling and passes them to Knockout and throws Buddy over his shoulder.

“Breakdown! Put me down!”--Buddy

“No can-do Buddy. You know the drill.”--Breakdown

Buddy sighs and lies limply as Breakdown carries them to their habsuite.

NSFW, fem human, voyeur, Optimus gets curious and checks security cameras to see where you went

- In an uncommon occurrence, Optimus Prime found himself alone at the base, or so he believed. He knew Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead were having leisure time with their human friends.

- Ratchet was out, which was the uncommon part. He had made an offhand comment about his servos stiffening up. Optimus proposed collecting some energon remnants could help. There were some detected in leftover mines that were drained by Megatron's troops. But, any piece counts.

- But the last one unaccounted for was you... Optimus had greeted you earlier, but didn't bid you goodbye. You normally always leave with a goodbye, so you must be somewhere in the base. Optimus approaches the base terminal to access the security cameras. He could go looking for you, but there were some areas of the base the bots didn't fit into. Like the kitchen.

- Optimus checked the kitchen cameras, and failed to spot you. A quick glance to the couch to his left on the platform suggested you were here. Your things were still here after all. Optimus turns his attention back to the cameras, switching to the next place to think of. The barracks.

- The barracks were meant for human soldiers. A decently sized room with two rows of bunks. A few beds were less dusty than the others from the one or two times the humans had sleepovers.

- Optimus spotted the dusty beds, but one was free from dust and finally, he spotted you. His mind was put at ease. It seems you had gone off to take a nap? But your hand is moving and between your thighs…

- "Hm..." Optimus hummed in confusion. What were you doing on the bunk if you were not sleeping? A small whine left your lips, and suddenly it clicked.

- Self pleasure was not an unknown concept to Optimus. But he rarely felt such an urge, if at all. He had other things to do to think and occupy himself with. However, human sexuality was unknown to him. He only had a basic understanding of the human reproductive system, so he was a little surprised to find humans would engage in something like this

- Optimus blinked hard, realizing he was staring and looking quite closely. He had seen enough, and he should give you your privacy. You had gone to the barracks after all, away from everyone else to engage in your self pleasure.

- A curious part of him began to stir however. He had seen diagrams of human reproductive organs of course, he had done some research on human biology when he came to earth. But seeing how your fingers seemed so eager to rub your sensitive parts piqued his curiosity further. The little bud and folds squished and contorted under the touch of your fingertips. That was something diagrams didn't tell him. Of course it was like the rest of the fleshy human body. But Optimus had never seen this before, and the knowledge-hungry archivist mind of his wanted to see more.

- Optimus forced the tab closed. He had watched you pleasure yourself through a security camera. That was wrong, and an invasion of your privacy as well. He felt guilty for doing so, and quietly berated himself for doing so. The thought of apologizing to you diminished as quick as it came. No, he would only stir up trouble that didn't need to be stirred.

- He closed his eyes in hopes to focus on another thought. But he could only see the image of you on the low res security footage laying on your back with your legs open. Your fingers eagerly but tenderly rubbing your clit. And those noises he'd never heard you make before filing his audials even with the tab closed…

- Primus, why couldn't he have just turned it off once he realized?

- The thought of pleasuring himself in his berth room appeared in his mind. Optimus was quick to push away the thought, he had disrespected you enough as it is. He'd need to take a drive, asap. He called Ratchet back to base, opened the groundbridge for him, and as soon as he was able, he was off to patrol.

[searchingforatrail]

Optimus and Elita-1 being in an established relationship with children, and slowly forcing absorbing Megatron into their family is my new favorite hc. Like 'Hey Megs, can you watch the kids?' or 'Hey Megatron, do you want to go out eating with us?' or 'Stay the night, it's a bit late--What do you mean you want to take the guest room, just recharge with us.' He notices Elita being way more touchy with him, wrapping her arm around his waist or leaning on his shoulder. She even takes naps with him and the sparklings. Optimus is the same, but more intimate with Megatron in public, even in front of Elita.

And Elita is intimate with Megatron infront of Optimus.

They casually break him out of his life of solitude, occasionally fight Soundwave over him, and move him into their home. Eventually, he becomes conjunxed without even realizing he's conjunxed. It isn't until Elita announces him as their conjunx in pubic does he realize "Oh crap, these two do like me."

Catformers AU

Megatron

* Megatron is a big, old street cat with all the scars, marks, and behaviors to prove it. He was a menace in his youth, running a feral cat colony, evading rescuers, getting into numerous fights with cats and other animals, and scratching anyone who crossed his path… until recently. On the umpteen time to try and recover him, he relented. Perhaps he had a change in heart or he realized his age was catching up to him, no one was sure but at least he was getting some much needed help.

* Megatron was unusual cat to say the least, still being grouchy and hissing at others but seemingly getting along with the other cats like Rodimus and Magnus though he will hiss at the formal if he tries to play fight him. He usually stays by himself or hangs out with a smaller black cat from the same cat colony that was also rescued.

* Because of his history, he needed to be fostered and you drew the short straw. You’ve never dealt with a cat of this magnitude or behavior before, especially as he had a major distrust towards people even after his rescue, but if he allowed himself to be rescued, then surely it meant he was ready for a change of heart and willing to live out his years in a warm and loving home, right?

* The first few weeks were… rough to put it gently as he refused to interact with you, only really coming out to eat but you kept trying to get him more comfortable with you, even using treats, toys, and nice food to try and make him comfortable in your home which he saw right through your meager attempts. He would swat, bite, and scratch at you when you got to close which left many battle scars on your own hands and arms. He would sleep in a room away from you and seemed to leave any room you entered. But still, you persisted.

* The first breakthrough you made with him was when you came home, exhausted but still taking the time to try and get him comfortable with you, which resulted in him refusing the offer, before plopping down on your bed and taking a small nap. When you awoke, you felt a mass of heat next to you, peaking an eye open to see Megatron actually cuddled up to you, a deep purr rumbling against your body as he rested. It was hard not to react as you closed your eye again and enjoyed the small victory, warm and cozy next to him.

* Megatron does soften up overtime, going to you when he wants a pet or scratch but he has to be the one to initiate the contact first. He will also cuddle up next to you but usually when you’re sleeping or drowsy first. He will still growl at you, but he doesn’t bite or scratch at you anymore which is a positive. For being a big, mean old formal street cat, he can be pretty soft and not just in the fur department!

* Megatron does accompany you to the shelter and back where it’s very obvious to all the staff that he’s attached to you. He’ll either be with the other cats or he’ll stay on your lap. If another caretaker or if an interested party tries to pet him or get his attention, Megatron does hiss at them before moving away from them or moving back to your lap.

* You eventually adopt Megatron though it’s safe to say that he kinda forced it on you. He’s a one person cat and you happened to be chosen as his person. If you decide to, you adopt his smaller companion, Ravage, and the two live in your home in comfort. Megatron does like to go out and about with you, to work, to the pet store, and other places but is very protective of you. If another animals tries to get a pet or your attention, he bats at them until they go away. Not even the biggest dog stands a chance against him though his aura and reputation does most of the work.

[transingthoseformers]

Hey Riot! 👋 It's been a bit since I've been temporarily on break from Tumblr. Clearly, this means I need to start back with a new au.

Hmm. Kind of want an AU with amnesia Prowl. Like when Chromedome does the thing at the beginning of MTMTE he ends up resetting Prowl not just ripping out the memory Prowl was threatening to reveal to Rewind and you know fucking up Prowl’s mind enough that Prowlastator happened and Bombshell napped him easy. So Chromedome leans back and he has a fresh baby Prowl looking up at him with big confused innocent eyes and promptly freaks out enough to use the Overlord smuggling operation to smuggle in Prowl while he figures out what to do with him.

Cue confused Prowl waiting, trying to be well-behaved for his supervisor. That is what Chromedome is right (?), gives him orders, but he's very lonely and would like to leave the box now.

Eventually, he gets out and finds himself in a cell with a criminal (?). Who refers to him by his designation he hasn't told anyone yet. Overlord having been trained by Trepan recognizes the damages and at least has something (new to) interesting to fill his time with.

Chromedome, meanwhile, doesn't realize he didn't put Prowl in stasis correctly and is trying to figure out the best way to handle Prowl 2.0 with Brainstorm that doesn't involve killing him.

Prowl and Overlord talk, and Prowl feels uncomfortable because basically all he has is old laws and the Autobot Code, which he is now taking as the Law For Living, and this isn't proper prisoner treatment. Which is upsetting for him. He starts taking notes on things he needs to report and eventually finds handcuffs and perks up. All while Overlord watches Prowl do the Transformer equivalent of a puppy stumbling around getting used to his legs.

Overlord is talking to him the entire time mentioning things the Prowl can only respond with a disgruntled "I don't know what that is."

When Prowl pulls out the handcuffs, Overlord makes a kinky joke, which Prowl completely misses, and then watches in bemusmenet as Prowl stands up in front of him and asks if he will cooperate and allow him to switch him to standard prisoner restraints. He says of course officer and Prowl undoes his restraints.

Overlord snatches him up without hesitation, and Prowl squeaks. Overlord considers crushing him but despite his amusement he is still in a Megatron Funk and has no real desire to escape, so he sits up and perches Prowl on his thigh, telling him sweetly he wouldnt be able to reach from down there. Prowl is wary and certain this is Not Normal Prisoner Behavior, but Overlord does let him handcuff him with basically to him streamers and adjust the holding cell to fit regulations better.

He decides to start "processing" Overlord and begins to ask him to fill out paperwork, which Prowl is mentally compiling. Overlord answers Prowl's questions and then mentions he has yet to be able to seek legal counsel or give his charges, which Prowl believes, and the rules say that has to happen.

So Prowl goes on a mission to get Overlord his lawyer. Overlord, feeling vaguely suicidal, gives him Tarn's number. Prowl still instinctively knowing his override codes opens the door and makes the call.

Through a series of slightly murderous attempts due purely to Tarn's curiosity of "what the fuck Prowl?!". He ends up carried off with Overlord who barely even fights which pisses Tarn off just the right amount to store him until later. He has more important things.

Like Converting Autobots.

Ohhhh?

I've seen amnesiac!Prowl in. A fic and another I didn't click on yet, so it's very interesting to see how he acts without his memories

mm mnemosurgery, which I still think is terrifying

well that's not good

The fact that you can just wipe someone's entire fucking everything like that scares me but hey! It's mnemosurgery. That makes sense for mnemosurgery.

Chromedome:

Prowl 2.0:

Chromedome: fuck it, come with me

So leaving Overlord and Prowl alone together has to be fascinating, well ruh roh raggy!

So Overlord has been released early, fuck.

and then mentions he has yet to be able to seek legal counsel or given his charges, which Prowl believes

Suggesting the hilarious imagine that initially Overlord might've had these things, and I'm imagining Overlord in a trial absolutely being a menace the entire time (which does not help his case)

How does he have Tarn's number

Can someone just up and call Tarn and say "hey Mr DJD? I have a traitor for you." and snitch on their one friend who did one (1) Mildly (or more than mildly) Traitorous thing but also happened to piss Character One off at the wrong time?

Can someone just fucking lie to Tarn and frame someone as a traitor?

Even Tarn doesn't know what's up here (he'll learn)

Wonder how well received the sudden arrival of the fucking DJD is :)

Is Prowl about to be possibly converted to a decepticon right now? :D?

FOLKS I FINISHED BEAST WARS (thoughts and spoilers under cut)

1. The timeline is absolutely unique, i love how optimus and megatron aren't even optimus and megatron and how bw relates to g1

2. The graphics will never be an issue to me, it's more than enough for the time period and it's much more than watchable. I'm in love with the slimy cgi and didn't pay much attention to the quality. All i can see is designers and animators having fun

3. I think that the designs gradually got a little fucked up but it's okay

4. I really enjoyed Blackarachnia's character, she was so interesting for me! I'm not aware of the fandom's general opinion on her but she's my special girl now

5. There was like at least 5 times more on-screen gay kissing than straight kissing

6. If you didn't understand how insane i am about dinotrap from my previous posts then now i can say it's my #1 pairing,, i rarely have a fav ship when i watch something because of The Multishipper Curse that makes me think about too much characters together but for bw specifically i have a favourite. Usually I'm a little turned away from dynamics that are built on characters insulting each other but it's a special case, because they definitely share a bond and i can ramble for hours

7. Bw optimus is my 3rd place fav after tfp and tfa respectively (because they're a classic) (even though i know it's not even him) he's very much of a Some Guy who is Hungry And Needs a Nap and i like how he's just. a person. like a leader but he's just a guy come on. probably for the same reasons i love tfa op, i like seeing him get mean and angry and worried and yelling at his team and then understanding that he was wrong. my man

8. The predacons are so chaotic it's insane. The lack of a (main character i mean) Starscream is not noticed because there's not one con trying to take over, not two, not three, but I'm pretty sure everyone in the whole goddamn team has attempted it at least one time during the show.

9. And, with lack of Starscream, Megatron took all the cuntiness for himself. He stands out insanely among other continuities (again it's not him so). That voice? Thanks David Kaye!!! He's doing the whole dramatic hot villain thing that Tumblr loves, with blood baths and everything, and it deserves to be noticed. Megop is the classic tumblr dramatic villain x tired hero stuff you see in like 2016 writing prompts and everything. Megatron is insane here

10. I really enjoyed Dinobot. I cannot say this loud enough but he is my second fav after Rattrap because he's a really interesting and conflicted character. You see him as inherently evil? He does a beautiful gesture of kindness. You see him as good? He fails to disobey his nature. It goes on and on until his last eps. The betrayal? I was sobbing. That scene when he's on his knees with a sword? It fucked me up. The episode ending had me on the FLOOR.

11. I'm conflicted on dinobot 2 because on one hand, i do appreciate how it is shown how actually fucked up megatron and his schemes are. He's insane, and he's obsessed: he doesn't try to make any super soldier or whatever, but specifically wants to bring back dinobot and make him stay. And he fails, because it *is* dinobot deep inside, and that brings him down; his real sense of honor. He won't stay. His sacrifice was insane. But on the other hand, i actually didn't want Dinobot to be actually brought back. Sounds very nice but i think his actual death was really a point to his character that made me love him more. And when i saw Dinobot 2, i was kinda hoping that he would be an empty shell, an attempt, that it would be a plan Megatron put too much hope into, and that it's *not* dinobot, just a copy without a mind. Maybe im just weird sorey

12. Transmutate is gender

13. I love rhinox but it's sad that they didn't make him stand out as a character like the other maximals. He rarely got to be a main character, and even when he got to, he was just the butt of a joke and didn't get to build relationships and resolve personal problems like his teammates did. Or maybe i just wasn't looking at the screen when he did who knows. He's my big weird man

14. I enjoyed Tigatron and his conflict about the conflict so much

15. I'm actually sometimes a little disoriented/lost when watching something so i just straight up didn't notice half the character deaths??? I was just wondering where they went and then went oh.

16. who the Vok are the Vok. I wish they weren't Just Mysterious Aliens but more than that

17. Why did they keep making all of the characters so trans it's not funny im in tears

18. Beast wars was absolutely made for goddamn freaks im sorry. i loved it

19. I think everyone at the studio was gay for megatron. Why else did they animate the scene where he's in the bath wiggling his dinosaur toes

20. WASPINATOR FUCKING HAPPY AT LAST

In the berthroom, Starscream stirred from his half-stasis nap to the sound of a faint, meek cry. It was short but painful, something he came to recognize instantly. His wings twitched behind him as he blinked open his ruby optics, focusing on the girl who wept and shuddered on his chest. Her tummy was pressed to his plating, and her head was lowered. Sensing a familiar pattern, the mech straightened himself and gently stroked the back of her striped, pink nightshirt with a claw.

“Now, now, Little Mouse,” he said above her cries. “There is no need to fret. I’m here.”

He held a steady tone of voice, not wanting to worsen her episode. Using the point of his claw, he lifted her chin. Finally, he could see her luminous, green eyes. He frowned at her, empathizing with her anxiety.

“Was it…another nightmare?” 

Juniper sniffled and nodded, allowing his servos to grab her in a soft and tender hold. Starscream cupped her tiny body in his claws, never squeezing or tightening. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she attempted to keep her voice at a pitiful whisper.

“It was…Megatron. Again.”

Starscream paused, gritting his denta.

“The branding?”

A mark of loyalty. Thanks to Primus, the insignia was erased from her lower back, but she still felt the burn. 

Juniper glanced away from him, her red hair falling across her face.

“And…other things.”

For a moment, Starscream went quiet, not entirely sure if he should press her for more information. From what he learned of her, she was incredibly stubborn and tenacious. She was a fighter, and she never surrendered, even in the face of humans like Silas. At first, Starscream hated it. Eventually, however, he grew accustomed to it and even admired it. 

Nonetheless, her previous position as an ally to the Decepticons often left her nervous and vulnerable. It wasn’t her fault. Unlike the Decepticons themselves, she never asked for it. And Starscream felt terrible. After all, Megatron wasn’t the only one who played a part in her trauma. 

The mech brought her near his faceplate, lightly rubbing his helm against her forehead. He calmed her, speaking softly and encouragingly to her. As she cried, he found himself tearing up as well. 

“You have…nothing to fear when I’m around.” Starscream pressed a kiss to the side of her face. “I promise.”

‘Not even me,’ he thought. ‘Not anymore.’

He vowed it.

It took some time, but Juniper managed to settle in his embrace, her wails faltering to little sniffles. When the woman cuddled him, he brushed his claw over her tummy, staring past her clothes and into her skin, where the scar he created still resided. Forever. 

“Thank you.” Juniper hiccuped. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

Starscream offered her a smile, remembering their past well.

“You may perish, just as I would without you.”

She smirked at him. He was proud to make her giggle, knowing that she would be fine. But then, Starscream felt something flicker inside his chest, and his gaze softened to display a hint of reluctance. 

“Juni?”

She rubbed her eyes.

“Yes?”

Starscream lowered his helm, lifting a claw for her to grab.

“Is this what you want?” He drew every word from his spark. “To stay here…with me?”

There was another nanosec of silence. And then, Juniper grabbed his claw and hugged him close.

“I do.” She kissed his digit. “I promise you, I do, Starscream.”

The Cybertronian closed his optics, feeling and treasuring the reassurance from her words and lips.

Because no one asked,

Here's how I would do a transformers series:

1) emphasize the disguise

They're robots in disguise. Its in the tagline. Make the bots and cons fight each other while trying not to be noticed.

Why would world conquering deceptions stoop to hiding from puny organics?

Easy. Skew the matchup. If its 8 billion nuclear armed monkeys vs 5-10 alien robots, even ol megsy ain't gonna take those odds.

The Autobots have an even easier reasoning: follow the prime directive.

2) Shipwreck everyone

Why can't the bots/cons just call for reinforcements?

They crash landed. That's why. Everyone's in stasis or injured. Callback to G1 where they spent 4 million years in sleep mode under a volcano. Maybe not *that* long but it would explain why no one noticed two alien starships smacking into the planet. No one was around to see it. Macguffin event happens, a couple bots and cons wake up, and they realize that a wholeass civilization popped up during their nap.

3) Civilian autobots

Why did they come to earth?

As is usually the go to answer: Cybertron's f*cked. Solution: Autobots dig out a *really* old and obscure planetary survey, find a decent enough planet, Optimus takes a bunch of scientists and engineers on a colony ship and they go off to found New Cybertron. Survey said the place was uninhabited, so it's free real estate. (Humans were probably still debating whether or not coming down from the trees and walking on 2 legs was a good idea when the Cybertronian scouts did the survey)

Soundwave does his soundwave thing, finds out, Megatron loads up a warship, and they shoot each other down on prehistoric earth. Meanwhile, a caveman named grug figures out mr fire is your friend.

Point is, you've got one side that's a bunch of scientists, engineers, and other civilians (The Autobots)

And the other that's almost all elite combat troops (the Decepticons)

But, because of the first two issues, the cons can't take advantage of it. Otherwise they alert the Humans and someone with an itchy trigger finger drops a thermonuclear warhead on the stranded nemesis.

And if a human does discover the Autobots? Imo a civilian is more likely to break the rules and play nice than a trained soldier.

4) nobody wants to stay here

The Autobots originally planned to colonize earth, sure. That was before they got shot down, locked into stasis for who knows how long, and woke up to see an entire sapient civilization spring up from nowhere during their nap.

Optimus is Optimus, so it's plan B: freedom is the right of sentient beings, so we fix the ark and found new Cybertron somewhere else. Ideally, the human race won't realize they were ever here.

The Deceptions only care about crushing the Autobots and getting off this corrosive rock. Unless they can call home and summon an armada, it's just not *worth it* to pick a fight with humanity.

6) things I'd like to see

-Skyfire/Jetfire

Jetfire being one of the scouts, getting frozen in a callback to G1, and being found and thawed by some human scientists. He's just living his best life in a hidden lab, and only mildly worried about why Cybertron isn't answering his calls. Oh hey Starscream! When did you get the tattoo? (It's a bad breakup)

-Swindle

Our dystopian capitalist nightmare is Swindle's daydream paradise. He absolutely loves earth. #1 fan. He probably makes connections to the mob. Good times.

-Nightbird

Local mechanized AI (or ghost in the shell cyborg) has an emotional crisis, joins the deceptions. Beats up any Cons that disrespect her. No notes.

-Dinobots

"Wheeljack, why do our new security drones look like...that?"

"So there's this earth movie called "Jurassic Park"..."

Later:

"Wheeljack?"

"Yes optimus?"

"What happened to the sparks that we had in stasis?"

***Tyrannosaurs roar*** Me Grimlock Smash! (Panicked Decepticon screaming)

"Never mind, I think I figured it out."

-one sane adult human

Obvs theres a couple teens who pal around with the Autobots. There should be at least ONE adult in their early 20s as part of the group who's forced, however unwilling, to be the sole voice of reason. Aka: "I'M NOT TELLING YOUR PARENTS YOU GOT SQUISHED SNEAKING INTO AN EVIL ROBOT SPACESHIP"

"Then who's gonna pull off the rescue?"

"I AM!" (They instantly regret this decision, but They're at least old enough to make it)

-Shockwave as a late series villain

Shockwave has had command of the Decepticons ever since Megatron's Ill fated disappearance chasing after the Autobot Ark.

Having him return and upset Shockwave's centuries of effort holding onto the planets in the Deception Empire would be... Unfortunate. Perhaps it would be better if he stayed dead.... It's only logical.

[moonlight-tmd]

Crack au! Bumblebee and Longarm, when together will occasionally go spelunking. They have caused numerous spark attacks with them randomly popping out of nowhere in random cave systems. Bee actually caused Megatron to faint once.

IDK, just these two being feral little shits together.

Oh hell yes-

tbh i forgot crack au existed but yes it is all just shits and giggles on cocaine.

Longarm and Bee are classified troublemakers with Longarm being the secret troublemaker that no one suspects is at fault in anything, and he abuses the fuck out of it.

Bee is suspicious of the amount of stuff Longarm knows about Decepticons but he never questions it cuz it gives them countless opportunities to cause mischief.

One time they went ot Decepticon base cuz Longarm "heard rumors about giant robots hiding there". They stayed hidden and played so many "little inconveniece/confusion" pranks. Long made sure Bee didn't accidentally stumble into some important section.

There were so many petty arguments between Blitzwing and Lugnut that they overheard and so much stupid wrestling matched caused in few of low-ranking Decepticons there. It was hilarious.

But not as hilarious as when they came back a week later and prepared a "haunted house" experience for them. Fake cobwebs, cheesy decor, fake blood and pop-up monsters EVERYWHERE.

They had a very hard time keeping their laughter at minimal volume so the big guys don't spot them. The best one was when Megatron himself entered and tried to deal with the mess cuz none of his idiotic henchmen wanted to go back in.

He didn't really get scared of the things, they were worried that it's over for the fun... but then Longarm came up with the genius plan.

He dressed Bee up as a undead mech- it was surprisingly realistic for the few resources they had and short time. Then they set up the ambience and horror-like noises as Megatron walked down their chosen hallway.

It wasn't the typical horror vibe, it was worse, the type of psychological horror Shockwave knew Megs would fall for. They waited for the right moment, watching Megatron shift and walk more cautiously the further he went. They placed a fake monster to scare him with and it worked. The warlord whipped around clearly on edge and relaxed as he saw the fake thing that seemingly make all the noise...

Then he turned back and a dead mech dangled right in front of his faceplate with the most ear-shattering screech ever.

There was nothing, Bee just locked optics with Megatron for the longest time ever... but then Megatron tipped backwards and fell with an obnoxious thud on the floor, optics flashing off as he did.

Longarm lowered him to the ground and they both just looked at each other before laughing their asses off without holding back.

At some point Megatron woke up from his brief "nap" and they both barely managed to lose him in the tunnels and avoid his wrath.

No one knew it was them as both Bee and Longarm were disguised to blend in. Even tho they can't repeat it cuz of Megatron rising security levels, it was a good time.
