#Predacon AU

[mikiusol]

An AU for the Predacon kids. Jack, Miko, Raf and Cody form a band together after a series of unfortunate events. Curious to see if anyone can guess what instruments they'd play!

[smokescreenstuff]

After becoming a Predapup, Smokescreen had to relearn how to walk.

It was a very difficult first few weeks.

[transingthoseformers]

TFP au in which some Predacons survived the Great Cataclysm. They learned to transform and ended up assimilating into the general population of Cybertronians, even if they were always on the outer edge of society. Basically only considered good for hard labour and violence.

And of course in this au, bots can be born both through reproduction and the Well.

The Thirteenth emerged from the well as a Predacon, but one who was never as bestial as the other of his kind. Orion Pax was the first Predacon to be accepted amongst the normal cybertronians, but no one remembers that. Also no wings.

Megatron, also a Predacon, was found while still in his egg, along with his siblings. Their clutch had been abandoned for whatever reason, and so they became mining slaves. Life in the mines wasn't easy, and when D-16 left the mines and became Megatronus, he was the only one left.

Cue basically what happened in canon. Bit of an uproar that a Predacon became Prime, but then more important things happened, and nobody cared about that anymore.

Fast forward to the present day. The Orion Pax arc happens and during this time, Megatron's heat cycle strikes because I fucking love knocking up Megatron.

So once again, Orion Pax has left Megatron, but this time, he left a parting gift. Not that he knew about the clutch that Megatron ended up laying. There's only confusion as to just where the fuck Megatron is, why isn't he taking to the field? Because he's busy being broody and sitting on his eggs. Cue shenanigans, I guess.

Who else could be a Predacon? I don't know. Arcee? Seeker twins? Bulkhead?

Sorry for this word vomit orz

Now the situation as a whole with transformers living alongside Predacons would be insanely interesting

I exactly imagined Oppy's altmode as like one of those flightless dragons, (my brain just kept suggesting like Odogaron from the Monster Hunter series and ykw I'm gonna let my brain have this) while Meggsie's is a little more like Rathalos

Now I exactly suggest yes, all the options you named be Predacons because it's damn cool. Will it have in series consequences because they're well Predacons and not cybertronians with vehicle altmodes? Yes. But would it open up a whole window of opportunities for fun? Yes

@geluatekurama

You did the predacon kiddos so right, you can feel the angst emanating from Cody and Raf and the fury from Jack (he's gonna go CHOMP) *chef kiss*

Well, at the very least Miko seems to be enjoying herself (she seems like the type of person who would laugh in serious situations out of stress/to avoid crying...like me)

I don't wanna imagine the teams + families reactions to all this (actually, I do want to know)

Gotta get this out for @mikiusol

I was about to do it digitally, but the university has a knife in my throat. But anyway, enjoy!

Hello my king, i knwo that this may sound wird but can i hug your finger i fell lonely (i am very small so i can only do that)

“Ah… an interesting request! I have not been asked this yet, but I am willing to indulge your need for a hug. I know a thing or two about being alone, more than ever these days, so I hope this is sufficiently cozy and comfortable for an acceptable human-sized embrace…”

“I am learning to be gentle, but the Decepticons see no use in this skill, even for an indomitable being of my size. You can relax, rest easy for a while under my watch until you have to return back to your own dwelling.���

He stays with the human to calm their feeling of loneliness, at least for a while, before any Vehicons or Decepticons come by to check for his whereabouts on the Nemesis.

Ok so - stop screaming it's just me - so we know Experiment!Wheeljack can growl and hiss and stuff, but can he purr? And/or does he act animalistic in other ways (territorial, gets the zoomies, etc)? (You explored some of this in the chapter where he's staying at the original Autobot outpost, but I keep having Thoughts™ about our favorite gremlin Wrecker so I came here to chat about him😅) Ok that's all, I'll just be going now

* awkwardly pulls head back out of the wall, leaving a hole behind *

[sticks head through the hole you left behind]

Good question! I don’t think he can purr exactly the same way that a cat does, but he definitely can! Much in the same way he growls via grinding the sections of his throat together + engine noise he could probably also purr. So kinda weird sounding but recognizably purring

He also ABSOLUTELY gets the zoomies. He learned how to control it when he was with the Wreckers back on Cybertron, but it still slips out sometimes (like when June found him on the ceiling). Lights and sharp movements attract him, so he would in fact chase a laser pointer. Shockwave probably figured that one out the hard way while making calculations. He naturally walks very quietly and has a tendency to freeze up and try to stalk anything perceived as prey. He also sometimes has the urge to just get up and walk around randomly (which Ratchet also got to see when he caught him sneaking out to check on Bulkhead)

He’s learned to suppress most of the more animalistic urges around other bots. Back when he was on the Jackhammer alone he was quite literally bouncing off the walls, crawling around on the ceiling, biting the leg of his berth, etc.

Personally I think if he cut loose in the Autobot base it would go something like this

[miyahopscotch]

I imagine it went like this

Some more of the project predacon au.

Actually, I'm gonna write a fic on Ao3, mayhaps if anyone is interested, lmk.

Reference despite the fact that I'm sure all of you have seen the infamous smoothie meme

Predaking!! I love him so much.

SMOKESCREEN THE PREDAPUP!

Plus a non-verbal card that Smokescreen sometimes uses when he wants to find Predaking. (Attempted a chibi style)

[transingthoseformers]

Addition to my predacon tfp au: Predacons that lack flight ability could all be triple changers. That solves any plot issues and transportation issues.

I guess both bot form and their more bestial form could be considered root form.

That'd also be cool!

Before I go to bed, have these sketches for Sparkling Cody (Sunwave) and Frankie (Cubewink). As trying to get what vibe Heatwave would give as a Prime.

Cody is a Griffin (of course) and Frankie is a bear.

Remembering how in the show the first predacon clones that were made by Shockwave were sent by Megatron to earth.. Cybertronian artifacts and predacons depicted in human mythologies.. (Hercules was somewhat real gifted strenght juice from Cron maybe??idk)

I bet the five of them had opinions on the ancient beasts back from the dead and for some reason on earth of all places

Pluto: Predacons incoming!

Moon,Mars: wHAT

Earth: *not over her dinos* 👀

Unicron: No.

Oh they did have some opinions about the Predacons.

Unicron immediately cringed. He's always hated Predacons simply because they are embodiments of strength and take a great deal after Onyx Prime. Unicron fears Onyx Prime a bit more than the others just because Onyx can see right through him. Anything that reminds him of Onyx makes him unease. The Predacons are no exception.

Earth was rather concerned, but more so for her children. She was happy to see her sister race renewed, but she couldn't help but worry that the Predacons would step on her squishy offspring. Honestly the Predacons are a nice callback to her dinos, and so she is willing to house them if they behave.

Moon & Mars are scared beyond words of the Predacons. Well, not necessarily of them, but rather what they imply. Predacons hunted Cybertronians once, and Titans had to fight denta and claw to keep them away from their precious citizens. Both Moon and Mars carry age old scars from times they had to wrestle Predacons away from their cities. Neither wish to get into a fist fight with something like Predaking again.

Pluto is of the mind that extermination is by far the best policy. Primus saw fit to wipe them out for a reason. Better keep the shoot on sight order in operation.
