#Optimus may eventually come in trying to date the now single dad

I’ve been seeing Dogman on my Twitter feed and my brain has now decided it wants to make it Transformers

So now I’m imagining Megatron, in another moment of brilliance (this scenario feels g1 Megs coded), decides to make a clone of himself to take down the Autobots, since who’s better suited to help him than himself? He could also do this with Optimus again, but maybe that just hasn’t worked out in the past, so he tries himself this time. Granted he is also aware he’d try to betray himself as soon as he’s able, so he has failsafe plans for when that happens, or he made the cloning machine imperfect for that reason

But now when his clone is complete and ready, instead of a mighty copy of himself, he gets a small tiny version of himself. And for whatever reason, he can’t undo it or make a new version or machine. So now he’s stuck with this smaller version of himself

I said g1 Megs would do this, but if we want more drama he’s probably gotta have a backstory more similar to newer iterations. Like this tiny clone of him is basically D-16 instead of Megatron. And maybe as a result it causes him some introspection later down the line

And then Optimus comes in to foil his plans and is like “wait why do you have a son now?”

I probably should have used a comic or something to show this idea. Maybe I’ll make one, just not right now because today’s a work day. Tomorrow too, and also Monday. And I have schoolwork on top of that that I’m probably gonna procrastinate anyways
