#Predaking has issues

[steelthroat]

For my wonderful @vivificanousprime

So Prime Shockwave is now stuck in G1 dimension because of some weird experiment, and he bonds with the only slightly smart mech he finds, Soundwave, of course... his G1 counterpart is too goofy to be engaged with.

They are trying to make their new relationship work, and they start listing things they have in common... then they make out (don't ask how, we don't wanna know)

(fear not this is far from finished... but I underestimated both Shockwave's design and how hard it is to draw digitally. So here'sa sneak peek of a small comic)

[riskyraiker]

helloooo!! My request is kinda small, but can I request TFP decepticons reactions to a fem reader with a tiger alt mode?? (Colors are just white and black) she’s aggressive, but also gentle to ones she trusts and loves. Hope you don’t mind adding slight romance in it😓 Ty!<33

Reader with a tiger alt mode + the decepticons

Oh my god i love this😭🫶 btw there will not be anything about starscream except him hatin' predaking and reader :D since they're both like animals. Hope you enjoy!!

CW: there's a few dirty jokes so beware!! XD

-----------------------------------

Megatron

Finds you a good weapon in the battlefields ofc, but he does want you to be in best shape after every battle. Admires your strength to even defeat the last prime and almost eliminating him.

He rarely needs saving, but when you turned up, ripped optimus away from megatron, something lit up in him. The need of having you.

Talked to you after the whole battle and gave you best treatment he could with ordering knockout!!

The way you're actually gentle and caring didn't interest him before, but now he actually finds you slightly cute if he dares to admit it to himself.

Does like your choice of colour and style. Tigers do represent strength, courage and commanding respect! Like himself.

If he ever got the chance he would tell you he likes you and he will have you in his arms the rest of the day/night

Is really dominant in a relationship of course, but he knows how to be caring atleast.

If you insist of becoming his personal bodyguard he'd let you. Not because he's "weak", but so everyone knows not to challenge him even clearer.

Starscream yelling anything bad about you BANG He'll be getting treated by knockout soon enough. It was either you or Megatron but who cares, you both kick ass.

Any Autobot scum dare to hurt you? He WILL have their helm in under a week.

He actually loves you even if he doesn't say it :) You're on his good side with soundwave!

Soundwave

Does he care at first when he meets you? uhhh, no :) but when you start to check up on him while he works does make his spark a bit warm.

Stalks where you are going once he starts to take interest in you, but not in a creepy way ofc! He wants to know if you're safe or fragging somebot

Finds you pretty when he has time to look at you. Black and white is pretty old style, but fancied after all this time.

If you get injured in a battle he will make the autobots chase laserbeak and he'll comes and gets you back to the nemesis.

If you stay a lot in tiger form he gives you pets if you ask. He ain't that mean and can't say no to that face. (He can :))

He serves Megatron with huge loyalty so he's a busy bot, hope you can live with that. (just stay in the room with him and cuddle his pedes in tiger form)

If he he's busy any other way laserbeak will stay with you. Your little baby bird :)

He doesn't speak so he will just display hearts on his or any other monitor close to you <3

He's just a sweet quiet bot with speaking issues xD

Dreadwing

Treats you decently at first which is so cute. Since you're caring, sweet and follow rules well he thinks you're not that bad.

Once he sees you beat half of the autobot team, he wanted to stay on your good side ALL THE TIME.

Once he catches interest ohhoh, you will be smitten!

I imagine he's more of a gentleman so he would let you go through doors first and help you when needed.

Patrols together? Do you even have to ask :)

Admires your style and the way the black and white bring the best parts of your frame out.

If you're big as a tiger jus give him a ride to battle and just chuckle at autobots' faces.

Spends time with you much as possible, but serving Megatron is most likely higher priority to him than you.

HAND KISSES TO SHOW AFFECTION!!!!!!!!

Injured and need help? It's already taken care of since Dreadwing is in the battlefield with you.

Does say that he loves you multiple times in the week. (Maybe even in a day)

Doesn't like starscream, never did and doesn't now either since he's always trash talking you down.

"Stupid pest! You trashed the whole control room! Can you do anything good in this primus forsaken ship!?!? I might aswell rip you spa-"

"Whose the second in command, starscream? You better shut your intake and not speak a WORD of my love like that again!"

That would turn me on WHO SAID THAT?! NOT ME :)))

Loves you unconditionally and shows it much as he can <3

You kept his knife/sword after he got killed :((

Knockout

"IS THAT A BEAUTIFUL PAINTJOB I SEE?!" his first reaction of you be like :D But like actually he loves it.

That's what he liked in you at first only, but once he gets to see your sweet and caring personality...oh he's probably passing out.

"Since you're the only medic here, I thought you'd like some help :)" You went to help Knockout with something and he didn't even ask? He must be in heaven/one with the all spark?? idfk

Imagine if you save his aft and his fabulous paintjob? He would give you big grin "So you do admire my paintjob, doll? I knew it ;)" Such a fragging dork he is

Go racing with him please!!! Your and Knockout's quality time is racing 100%

Oh and the drive-in theaters he mentioned in season 3! He takes you there for a "date" but doesn't say it is.

Just confessed a random day when you came to check up on him

"Helloooo Knockout, do you need any hel-" "I love you..." "I love you too dummy" *Smooch* Cute

Poor breakdown, now he's the third wheel :,) UNLESS POLYAMORY IS FINE WITH YOU ALL IS FINE ALL IS PERFECT <3<3<3<3

But when he dies you'll help Knockout with buffing :,( and support aswell.

The corniest couple of decepticons or any living cybertronian couples. Just cuteness everywhere nonethless!!!

Breakdown

He was intimated by you at first like he found Arachnid intimidating.

But once you show your sweet and caring side he lowers his walls. He also loves your style (And you already <3)

Talks about you to knockout and asks for advise since he's so clueless.

Seeing your strength in battle made his optics shaped like stars and he admired you for like a week after. He wants to challenge you, but holds his request back.

If your alternate form is a automobile...PLEASE GO FOR A DRIVE TOGETHER

He ain't got the balls to confess so ofc you made the first move

The big bot team in battles!! Go on and beat bulkheads aft and laugh together when you recall those fights back at nemesis (or when he's gone :(

POLYAMOROUS WOOOOOOO GET KNOCKOUT OVER HERE!!

Shows his love for you when there is not many bots around. (Professionalism!!) You're at work so behave!

Hugs, hugs, hugs and HUGS! He's a bigbuly bot so he gives good bear hugs <3

The only thing you have left of him is a pretty crystal he brought you before he died :((

Predaking

Another beast on nemesis? He makes sure you know who's stronger, mightier and loyal. But you managed to surprise him by actually being sweet once you get to know him.

Wants to protect you and if you both are in beast mode you WILL play fight

He might offer you a flight if you are nice enough to him

Fell in love with you when you bit Starscreams wing after he hit Predaking.

Most likely the deadliest duo on the ship unless Megatron joines too >:)

Autobots can go panic into a corner when you two show up on the battlefield :D It feels like a morning stretch to you two xD

You join Predaking if Shockwave decides to "borrow" him for a little bit and it makes his whole frame warm up.

Actually loves you show much and shows it even. SNUGGLES AND CUDDLING DURIN RECHARGE PLS

Wants to spend the future with you. And after the whole Megatron posessed by Unicron thing you both go and live on your own <3 Just him and you, no one else.

-----------------------------------------

AN: TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY WTF?!?!?! But here you go! Don't mind if the writing is a little scoodaddle, I wrote during the middle of the night and the next morning so it's what it is :)) Hope you like it and don't be afraid to request more!!!!<3333

Wing cleaning

Predaking x gn!aerial Cybertronian reader.

Warnings : none, just fluff and wing cleaning with Predaking. I just need fluff 😔

-

-

Predaking’s displays of affection were slightly odd to you, he stays in his alt mode more often than not making seeing his face limited, but he curls around you for cuddles centering you in the middle of his hoard to keep you safe. In his alt mode kisses are usually nuzzles or him licking your face or even your wings, no matter how much you tell him not to.

His purrs are at least soothing, you suppose, always so deep and rumble so nicely it makes for good white noise to sleep to.

“Preda, this isn’t necessary.”

He only answers with a huffed growl making you sigh deeply and accept your fate. His large ribbed glossa crosses the top of your helm, making you face scrunch up at the new wet feeling. Predacons, still had much more animalistic behaviors, which, fair, you didn’t see a problem with, until it’s your face plate being licked. He wants to take care of you in a way that is familar to him, you know this and love him for it, but sometimes you wish he’d take it easier around your wings, or makes you squirm from the intensity.

“Stay still, you are filthy.”

A pack bonding activity, he said.

Only mated pairs help clean the body, which is why he is so sure and determined to lick your wings clean, which granted you know your wings aren’t in the best condition from thousands of years of not being able to clean them properly.

But this feels….weirdly intimate to such a level it’s overwhelming.

Predaking purrs loudly as he licks over the center of your left wing, sitting proudly in his draconic alt mode as he cleans you up, tail lazily swiping across the den floor, so happy his chosen mate is finally letting him clean their wings without issue.

you sigh, body twitching and jerking when he licks too firmly or starts getting close to you wings joints, those are the worst spots, but also the most sensitive.

“Hey, maybe don’t get there yet, please?”

The con makes a confused hum, before moving his head over your shoulder to look at you, noting how nervous you seem to be.

“But you are having rust build up there, they need to be cleaned.”

“I know, I know! But…I just…hnn.” your wings droop, looking up at him with a pleading gaze, but it doesn’t work on him.

“Please, My King, it’s just overwhelming, no one has touched my wings in so long, I-“

“Turn, face me.” His deep voice cuts you off, before he retracts.

You hear him transforming back into his base mode just before you turn around, now your optics meeting the imposing mech. you squeak as he grabs your waist, picking you up and placing you on his lap. your arms instinctively go around his neck, as you still have to look up at him, wondering what his plan is.

“Hold onto me, I will clean your wings this way.”

you hesitate, your optics glancing around the hoard, noting him grabbing one of the fancier looking clothes he stole from who knows where. But he waits, waits for you to get comfy, his yellow optics tracing up your body as he waits for your orders.

Small scars and scratches here at there adding to your already impressive frame, such a small mech, at least small to him, able to withstand so much, so strong, perfect for defending the nest.

you hype yourself up, knowing if your wings don’t get cleaned soon it could lead to transformation issues, or flying issues in general, but still it’s so deeply personal.

But they trust him, as rough around the edges as he is, he’s saved and protected you countless times, and is always waiting for your words and orders, only listening to you and waits for you to give him the okay.

You sigh, trying to relax before leaning against his chassis and fanning your wings out so he can reach better. Predaking purrs loudly, nuzzling his helm into the top of yours as he gets to work.

He’s happy now to have stashed polishes and cleaners from that one flashy red bot, who knew it would come in handy? you tenses feeling his touch, feeling the damp cloth touch your wing joint as he rubs it in slow circles, applying gentle pressure to get anymore dirt and grim from your wings.

He doesn’t speak, letting his purrs echo in the cave to soothe his little mate, occasionally nuzzling his helm against the side of yours.

Who knew such a big brute could be so gentle? But for you, he’d burn this planet for you.

[iconuk01]

(Want to put this one out for public) What would you say is the most impressive action figure you've personally bought?

"Impressive" is a tough word considering the… let's be charitable and say "significant" number of figures I've collected over many, many years.

I have many I consider beautiful, or iconic representations of characters I love, but that's not the same thing, though there is heavy overlap as I tend to only buy figures of characters I like.

I have even been gifted with some extraordinary unique ones, in the form of unreleased versions, or custome mad figures by incredibly talented people.

But you didn't ask for "Favourite" or "Most valuable", you asked for "Impressive" and even then I can only narrow it down to a few

I own an original G1 Transformers Japanese box set of the Predacons. (It was more of a complicated international (three continent) swap between different fandoms, but I did the co-ordinating, and money was involved in getting this as my end result)

This one isn't mine, but it's the same set

The individual beast modes look great, their individual robot modes are cool and Predaking himself is freaking awesome.

It might be cheating as it's not a single figure, its a combiner but it was SOLD as the combined figure so I'm loopholing it in! :P

The Figma Table Museum series is amazing, with action figure representations of figures from art and history, including DaVinci's Vitruvian Man, Botticelli's Birth of Venus, Michelangelo's David, Munsch's The Scream and Rodin's Thinker amongst others

But my favourite is their Tutankhamun, which has a staggering level of detail. The regular version has the mummy with a beautiful sculpt of the famous death mask. The DX version includes one of the sarcophagi that the mummy was found in, which the figure fits inside and, again, the sculpting is remarkable.

Plus a random shout out to Figma's other figures, which are never less than impressive

And I would be remiss if I didn't include at least one of the Saint Seiya Myth Cloths (So, I'm going to include two).

Andromeda Shun is one of my all time favourite characters, and the figures they have created for him are stunning, especially once the geeks who grew up on the roginal anime grew up and started working on making action figures themselves

This is what the original mass market 1987 figure for Shun looked like which, I should add in case I seem churlish, I remain inordinately fond of.

This is what the 2010 Myth Cloth looked like

Bit of a glow up, isn't it! :) (Pricewise too, but that's neither here nor there)

And the Gold Libra Saint remains a remarkable creation, the representational form of a pair of weighing scales transforming nicely into not only the Cloth itself, but the six pairs of weapons it contains, one for each of the Gold Saints

Honourable mention to several of NECA's lines, like Gargoyles and Fraggle Rock, which are impressive sculpts

Oh, and a shoutout out for sheer mechanical creativity goes to the BeastBox series from 52Toys. The main gimmick being that each figure, no matter how large or complex, unfolds from a standard modular 1.5" cube shape

I only have a few of them, because I suspect I could get VERY hooked on these, but these include White Noise, the owl (looking like Bubo from Clash of the Titans got an upgrade)

and Ironblood and Loyalheart, the twin battle bunnies who share a cube between them

However, I suspect I will surprise no one in that perhaps the one that continues to impress me each and every time I see it is one related to another characterI am forever associated with.

Which is of course, Robin, the Boy Wonder!

This is the Hot Toys Batman 1966 version, which is a superb 11" figure generally (allowing for some of the ever present issues with fabrics on smaller figures, meaning his cape is rather over-stitched so it's not too fragile)

But it's the face sculpt which gets me every time, this is way beyond the uncanny valley and right into the downright eeriely lifelike (And no surprise there, Hot Toys are legendary for their likenesses)

THIS is a plastic sculpt and paint job? They've even given him freaking FRECKLES!! (He probably has nose hair too, though I admit I've never checked for that... I'm weird, but not THAT flavour of weird)

Though, me being me, you might also not be surprised that I am also fond of the sculpting on this other Hot Toys Robin, though in that case, it's not just the face ;) !

[dragonridernoobie]

Can I request TFP decepticons with a fem reader who has anger issues??? Ty!

Sure! I will try my best!

I'm gonna make them cybertronian since you dident say if reader was human or not. I hope you are ok with this!!!

TransformersPrimeXReader

Megatron

I think reader. Would has been with the decpticons for a while, and everyone knows she has a shorter fuse than megatron.

And that's saying somthing.

I think megatron would actally try to tred carefully around reader

Since she is the only cybertronian (besides optimus and predaking) that can hurt him

When she does get angry, megatron will tell reader to go calm down.

Rip starscream if he is caught by her

Starscream

Starscream would actally fear reader.

Just because she reminds him of megatron.

He would ster clear of reader at any cause.

Unless he is paired with her.

If he is, he will try everything to stay on her good side.

He will remmber his place if he pisses her off.

Rip starscream 2x.

Knockout

He will know how to help reader.

He will tell reader ways to help her calm down.

Reader will probably go to him and breakdown to calm down.

Best friends.

They would still walk carefully around her though.

They ain't Immune to readers rage.

They throw starscream underneath the buss.

Rip starscream 3x

Breakdown

Same thing with knockout.

But instead of self care, he would help reader get rid of rage thru fighting and training.

Breakdown now has a spar buddy.

BFF's

He will keep his distant if reader is upset since he knows he can be thrown around.

He throws starscream underneath the bus to.

Rip starscream 4x

Soundwave

He doesn't talk so he can't get reader mad.

[aka-indulgence]

DUDE i never thought about the medical stuff with Soundwave!! Now I'm even crazier. This show I swear 😭

Breakdown loses an eye and we literally have an ep where Megs goes "Did you drop it you one eyed oaf?" like please, he's trying his best! Knockout gets HIT BY A TRAIN and Megs tells him he doesn't gaf and he needs to make sure Soundwave and Laserbeak are okay. Meanwhile he's in the medbay with Soundwave watching him get checked out? Bro??? And then later he specifically makes sure to remind Knockout (still covered in train scratches btw) that Soundwave needs a new visor. They're so hand in unlovable hand.

EXACTLY!!!

Breakdown gets kidnapped by humans and experimented on and Megatron says “skill issue”

Knockout comes back scratched as all hell and the first thing he says (after KO tells him he doesn’t have the relic) is to Fix Soundwave. Also may I add after they find a grenade in Laserbeak Megatron very calmly tells Knockout to get rid of it while he stays with Soundwave.

I really like his “Soundwave” voice… it’s so gentle and almost playful at times… they’re besties 😭

Also I just want to add that it sounds like Megatron has a similar tone of speaking with Shockwave, calling him his “most prized engineer” and MAKING SURE HE DOESN’T GO TO THE BATTLEFIELD!! He hears that Shockwave was *this* close to fighting Optimus and says “hell no you’re not dying on me you’re too important.”

He may not be Megatron’s bestie like Soundwave is, but he also gets privileges Decepticons don’t usually have. I know he calls Shockwave for work reasons but the fact that he sounds kinda casual with him and even says “Oh, no one important” when Starscream interrupts him, idk he sounds gentler with him? More respectful definitely. Constantly complimenting Shockwave’s work even if they don’t go according to plan (Predaking doesn’t take down the autobots on first try but he doesn’t get mad in spite of Starscream purposefully trying to rile him up). He’s a Decepticon that visibly makes him happy to see (he seemed neutral reacting to Dreadwing’s arrival)

I just like that my favorite guys are also Megatron’s favorites C:

[cozzzynook]

May I offer some Forbidden Predabee? :>

Bumblebee grew up in a village that is well known to hunt down mecha-beasts and predacons for the Senate, they have been doing this for thousands of years so Bee never saw an issue with it as a sparkling. One day he heads out into the near by forest to train for the ceremonial hunt, an ancient tradition that lets young hunters prove themselves and those who get selected get to hunt their first predacon with the chief of the village.(Optimus) Being rather giddy and wanting to prove himself that he could be a hunter and not just a scout Bee spends most of the afternoon training not noticing he was being watched from the treeline.

With a quick swing with his sword Bumblebee slips hitting the ground hard before letting out an annoyed groan, this the 3rd time it has happened and the yellow bot is getting rather frustrated with himself. He gets up and angrily kicks his sword to the other side of the clearing before sitting down a tree stump before putting his face in his servos. 'Why can't he just get it right? Everyone else can fight with their swords just fine but not him...how is he going to prove himself at the ceremonial hunt if he can't use a sword?' Lost in thought Bee doesn't hear the sound of heavy footsteps growing closer behind and nearly jumps out of his plating when a talon gently taps him on the shoulder. Whipping around Bumblebee is suddenly standing face to face with a predacon.

"Having trouble with your sword skills I see?" Predaking glanced at the sword before turning to face the yellow bot again. "You won't get far in battle with that kind of trouble" He flicks his wings while he narrows his optics at the bot.

Bee nervously looks between the predacon and his sword wondering it was worth the risk to try and rush for it. However a gentle clawed servo grabs his shoulder gently guiding him back into the open before returning his sword back to him. The predacon smirks flicking his wings again this time in amusement. "Allow me to help you little bug, After all if you wish to become a great warrior its better to learn from one of the best."

From then on Bumblebee and Predaking trained with each other in secret and slowly with time Bee gets better with his skills while also getting closer to Predaking as well. Eventually Bee ends up falling for the predacon and it doesn't take long until the pair are also sneaking out long into the night. However the day of the ceremonial hunt arrives and Bee is suddenly dreading it as he learned that predacon's are more than vicious beasts who destroy everything in their paths and he doesn't want to hurt Predaking by slaying one of his own kind, so Bumblebee comes up with a plan. During the hunt he makes his way towards a little cave hoping to fail the hunt by hiding out then return to the camp with nothing hoping it will be enough, but as he quietly hides he suddenly hears a strange hissing coming from deeper within the cave.

A large Void spider hisses and charges the intruder not being pleased that someone disturbed its nest. With a sudden yelp Bee draws his sword and begins fighting for his life. He is able to doge and cut away one of it's legs before being bitten by its long fangs on his shoulder. He cries out in pain but begins feeling strange and light headed as the venom slowly fills his fuel lines, before he blacks out he hears a sudden roar and the sound of snapping jaws followed by a high pitched screeching noise. When he re opens his optics he finds himself safely tucked away in a warm nest with his wound patched up. Slowly he sits up looking around the nicely decorated den before spotting Predaking who is busy cleaning away the last remains of his dinner in his fangs.

"Heh, I guess I owe you one...but you didn't have to take me back to your den" Bee gives a sheepish smile as Predaking slowly transforms back into his root-mode before walking up to Bumblebee. "You could have just left me outside my village, I'm sure someone would have found me just fine."

The predacon shakes his helm before gently cupping the yellow mech's cheek with his clawed servo. "My little bug, I would not consider myself a true protector if I left you alone and at the mercy of the forest." He then gently places a soft kiss on Bee's helm before gazing lovely at those bright blue optics. "I truly and deeply love you...and I would gladly throw myself at a thousand foes to protect you my dear"

Bumblebee suddenly feels his face grow hot as his door wings give a little flutter. With greedy servos Bee suddenly pulls Predaking into a burning kiss before lying back to allow the larger mech to join him in the nest. It is long after dark when Bumblebee finally returns back to the village, he is suddenly greeted by his Carrier Optimus and the village's medic before he is guided towards the Medic's hut. Optimus is asking question after question about what happened in the forest and why he seemed to sluggish and tired. Bee isn't paying any attention he is just happily humming to himself as he sends waves of comfort, reassurance and joy through his spark bond to his secret Conjunx, now only if he could get Carrier to stop worrying about him for once.

Hope you enjoyed this little Au idea. All those Barbarian and fantasy Au's got to me lol.

Oh my gosh i love this idea!

Whoever you are, thank you for sharing i love this so much

Chapter 2: The Aftermath

Word count: [1656]

Content Warning: [Sparkling deaths, grief, mourning]

He didn’t know…

Primus, how could he have known?

He emerges from the ground bridge, processor lagged from the unusual traveling method. Immediately, he perks up and for a moment, he couldn’t believe his own optics. It couldn’t be, but Shockwave is releasing the amniotic fluids from the containment chambers! It spills all over the laboratory floor in the hopes of ridding the evidence of the now declared failure of “Project Predacon”.

He stands tall, staring with wide optics at the sight of the Decepticon in the process of destroying everything in such a careless manner. “S-Shockwave… What are you doing!? It’s not time! It can’t be! You said-“

Another ground bridge opens in the distance. He charges at the Decepticon scientist, demanding an explanation for his actions but he runs, fleeing towards the active ground bridge. A swipe of his sharp claws but he misses and the Decepticon disappear. “Shockwave!” His vocalizer snaps. “No, what are you doing? Focus!” There’s even bigger issues to worry over as the fire spreads. With the chamber units decommissioned, the Predacon pups start to awaken.

He couldn’t save all the little ones. There are too many, so little time as he breaks through the glass of the chamber units, for some were too disoriented or weak to do so on their own. He couldn’t afford to be slow and careful as he pulled them out with his claws. They squirm and shriek, scared and unknowing of what’s going on.

There is nobody to blame but himself as he hears their cries, the flames reaching the crates of synthetic energon. There was nothing else to do but grab who he could and tuck himself into a corner as the cavern laboratory exploded, shaking the earth, and silencing the voices that were crying out for him.

Predaking didn’t want to look as the earth settled, but he could imagine it. Mangled corpses of Predacon pups. Dead. Gone. Another attempt to exterminate his people as Cybertronians did eons ago.

He has never felt so drained, weakened and vulnerable, and yet unharmed… His chest plating rumbles deeply with mourn and yet anger so easily replaces the need to grieve as the two Autobots, Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack stand in defensive action.

“What have you done to my brethren! What have you done!?” His rage bursts, and his self-control is thrown away as he charges the Autobots, his massive frame barreling towards them with primal fury. Ultra Magnus hefted the golden Solus Hammer, its weight balanced in his servos as he prepared to meet the Predacon head-on.

With a thunderous clash, Predaking swung his claws at Ultra Magnus, the force of his blow sending shockwaves rippling through the air. Magnus braced himself, bringing down his hammer with all the strength of a Wrecker Commander. The impact reverberated through Predaking's frame, but he refused to relent, snarling and swiping at his adversaries with determination.

Meanwhile, Wheeljack danced agilely around Predaking's attacks. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed his electrical whip, crackling with energy as it lashed out towards Predaking's vulnerable joints. But the Predacon's instincts were sharp, and he twisted away just in time, his claws grazing Wheeljack's armor as he countered with a powerful swipe.

The cavern echoed with the clang of metal on metal, the whir of servos, and the roar of engines as Predaking fought with all the fury of his kind. But Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack were seasoned warriors, and they met his onslaught with skill and determination, each blow calculated to weaken and disarm their formidable foe.

Yet Predaking fought on, driven by a primal need to protect his kin and avenge his fallen. With every strike, he pushed himself beyond his limits, tapping into reserves of strength and rage he never knew he possessed.

As Predaking fought with all his might, Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack began to gain the upper hand. Despite his ferocity, Predaking found himself outmaneuvered and overwhelmed by their combined assault. Ultra Magnus's giant hammer crashed down on Predaking's armor, sending him staggering back, while Wheeljack's electrical whip crackled around him, sapping his strength.

In a desperate bid to turn the tide, Predaking lunged at Ultra Magnus, intent on taking down the Autobot Commander. Suddenly, amidst the chaos, a cry pierced the air, the plaintive wail of a Predacon sparkling, calling out in fear and desperation. Predaking's optics flickered with alarm as he caught sight of the small figure darting dangerously close to the fray, as if to protect the larger Predacon with her tiny claws and squeaky chirps.

At that moment, something primal stirred within Predaking, a protective instinct that transcended his own pain and fury. With a roar, he threw himself between the sparkling and Ultra Magnus, shielding the young one from harm as he braced himself for another onslaught.

But in his weakened state, Predaking was vulnerable, and the hammer struck true, its impact rippling through Predaking's frame. With a roar of agony, he collapsed to the ground, his systems flickering as he fought to remain conscious. Meanwhile, Ultra Magnus recoiled in horror, realizing the danger he had unwittingly posed to the innocent Predacon.

The Predacon pup, as brave as she tried to be, whimpers and nudges her helm against Predaking’s.

Predaking lifts himself, joints groaning in protest, and his system warnings blaring. Still, he has enough sense to rise to his pedes upon seeing Optimus, who had arrived to the sudden conflict. His blaster is out, but nobody moves an inch.

The large Predacon did not have any time to continue fighting, when it’s much too dangerous and his injuries could end up severe. He transforms back and slinks to the huddle of trembling pups. Gently, he opens his mouth and carries them in his maw as a mother would to her little ones.

Without words, Optimus allows Predaking to escape, watching stoically as the draconic being soars into the open skies.

Landscapes of desert mountains and rocks shift into a forestry background. Predaking lowers himself towards a small clearing near a lake. His chest rumbles in a painful warble as he bows his helm and opens his mouth, permitting the little ones to squirm and crawl out onto the grass.

He quietly counts, and claws at the ground in anger. Not even half, Predaking saved… He refused to wallow in his own grief, not when his warmth and protection was needed right now.

He has received no communication with the Nemesis, radio silent. Nothing felt just, dragging his weary paws to check their condition. Spark aching, the Predacon lowers his helm and starts prodding them with his snout. They are in unfamiliar surroundings and desire guidance that he wasn’t equipped to give them. Cold, hungry, and chirping in fear.

What was he to do, losing everything and protecting what was left after the Decepticons discarded him with such ease.

Back amongst the Autobots, Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack get treated for their injuries. The Autobots gather in the medical bay as Ultra Magnus reports what had happened deep in the caverns. It becomes clear that Optimus’s decisions are being called to question.

“Prime, sir. You saw what was in the caverns. They weren’t grown Predacons, weapons for Megatron to exploit, but pups… sparklings…” It had been far too long since he had heard one chirp before. Ultra Magnus steels his regret, but everyone else seems to share his grievances. They haven’t had the presence of a youngling since Bumblebee, who was born in the battlefield, due to the dormancy of the Well.

“How many?” Optimus asks tenderly.

“Sir, would it have been any different if they were adults-”

The Wrecker Commander interrupts, “14, and the 10 under Predaking’s care.” Ultra Magnus was always very meticulous about details, and yet he did not discern that the Predacons inside the chamber units were hardly younglings, due to their large plating and curled up forms.

“We can’t just have Predaking out on the loose! There are human civilians to think about here, Prime.” Arcee couldn’t fathom as to why Optimus had decided to do nothing and look the other way when Predaking flew to Primus knows where.

“And the pups? What, you want us to finish the job and blow their sparks to scrap, Arcee? Why don’t you do it then, since you’re so keen?” Wheeljack snaps at her with sarcasm, shoving one of his explosives in her arms. She knew nothing of what he had seen. They acted as any little Cybertronian would, not marred by war or harsh ideals.

Her optics narrows. “All I’m saying is that we can’t afford to be naive. They are not ‘pups’ or ‘sparklings’ but destructive creatures that will end up hurting others.”

Ratchet steps in between the two bickering bots. “This isn’t about assigning any sort of blame. It’s about finding a solution. Optimus had a difficult decision to make, but there could be a way to salvage it.”

Wheeljack, voice heavy with tension, clenches his servos into fists. “Then what’s the plan? We can’t just sit here twiddling our thumbs while Predaking and those sparklings are out there. Ultra Magnus and I fought him, and he wasn’t exactly all cheery about making peace. In fact, he only stopped when that sparkling ran straight towards the fight.”

“Look, I get it. Predacons are no joke, but I’m all for whatever Optimus believes is the right thing to do. He’s never tried to steer us wrong, and I’ve always trusted him to keep our morals from straying.” Bulkhead crosses his massive arms over his broad chest plating.

Bumblebee conveys his agreement through a series of beeps and nods. He trusted Optimus implicitly, as he always had.

Silence falls over the medical bay as the gravity of the situation sinks in. Nobody wanted to step over Optimus’s leadership, but what else can be done when the first sparklings seen since the dormancy of the Well are involved?

ask game

Bird: They're both quiet types, neither of them would be too into making a big deal out of their feelings like that. It just doesn't feel natural. With Prowl and Bird, the focus is a lot more on the little things. A brief, reaffirming touch here, a mere glance and a small smile there. Casually gifting the other a pretty rock or a feather just because they found it particularly beautiful. Sharing a quiet moment, calm and at peace in each other's presence.

They don't need big gestures. They never even need to talk about it at all, even in private. If anyone asked, they wouldn't lie, but if no one ever brings their relationship up, they won't either.

If they'd gotten a happy ending, they probably would've kept at it until one day someone asked them if they'd ever thought about being more than friends. And they'd just have to stand there like "what are you talking about, we've been conjunxed for decades". They just never felt the need to outright mention it.

Skyline: Oh she would, she so would. It's not that Skyline needs them; she's perfectly happy to be shown a quiet, private type of love that's just for her and her beloved. But if given the opportunity (and if her partner was open to receiving it), she'd be the type to shout her feelings from the rooftops. Because it's precious and wonderful and she wants to share it! Skyline is a public figure, and she's used to having her entire life documented and spread around by the media. So if they're gonna talk about her anyway, they should talk about the best part of her life. She's used to having eyes on her, and would feel no shame in declaring her love in a public spectacle.

Unfortunately, of course, that is not an option either time. Even if their relationship wasn't frowned upon at best, D-16 just isn't the type for excessive PDA. Intimate stuff like this is special to him and he won't just let anyone see that side of him. Again, Skyline is totally fine with that too; she's just happy to be with him either way.

Starscream would definitely want to brag about it and shove it everyone's faces too, but in that case there is the very real threat of Megatron murdering them both, so he actually manages to shut the fuck up for once.

Razormane: Razormane isn't the type for it. She's not hiding anything, and she certainly has no issues with PDA considering she's constantly curled around Starscream like an overly affectionate, enormous cat. But she's got a quiet and reserved sort of personality, and hardly even speaks in most cases, so public confessions and the like are simply not her thing. She still shows affection in her own way though, be it the excessive snuggles (free him lmao), sharing her very limited food, or the guard dog (cat) behavior even in situations he could easily handle by himself (he's got missiles attached to his frame, for crying out loud, she doesn't need to be growling at every minor threat). But it's very rare for her to actually say the words.

Starscream (post-betrayal) is the opposite, but mainly because once he fully realized what he lost, he started tripping over himself to win her back. And it's getting to ridiculous levels. He definitely totally just wants them to be friends again, but to everyone (Razormane included) it very much looks like he's trying to court her. Maybe that's the real reason why Predaking keeps chasing him off.

But, no, believe me, if he was actually trying to court her, he would be so much worse.

Bear's growl

Hyperactive as fuck

Would run a thounsand miles if he could just seeeee youuuuuuuuu, tonight🎶 (just shitting)

Living family: Lightwave, Heatwave, Shockwave and Soundwave (siblings), Salvage, Sissi, Predaking, Skylynx, Darsteel, Rumble and Frenzy (nephews and nieces), one or another decepticon that ended up dying just like him...

Status: offline

Life of Rescue Bots Au

Lightwave is an obstinated, edonist and great insult for every Cybertronian moral. As the oldest of the group, she's the tiniest, because the bigger the frame, the more time a spark takes to get into a frame, and she's the oposite, a bit smaller than Boulder, thin of frame but has big, squared arms, she's agile and her humour is greasy and vulgar. Lightwave, managed to see her siblings before they could recognize her, except Radiowave, she was taken away from the world to be an apprentice and maybe future Cityspeaker but the moment the war started to get rough, she went away as far as could, finally living the freedom she never had before, until she discovered what remained of her planet was save on planet Earth, going in search of Shockwave and Soundwave and also learning Heatwave was alive all this time

Radiowave as the biggest was the youngest, couldn't met Lightwave and the moment he was made he was sent to be a constructicon, so, never met the other three, all his life was confined on the dark underground or watching the sunset on the high of the cranes, until decepticons emerged from the pits of Kaon and he decided he didn't wanted to be confined anymore to only receive orders, and fortunately, he was really good exploding things. Never meeting Shockwave or Soundwave because he was also confined to the battlefield, but at least he enjoyed that, the bloodlust made him feel alive what the fuck has he being doing? Until the day he finally... well, united to the Allspark, only leaving a piece of his spark behind a new bot that finally could met his siblings, and even became a rescue cadet

Outlier Au

Borealis is like a beacon of light for the people, she's kind and perfect, a cityspeaker that lives for her people and loves her people. Nonetheless, she's just a really highligthed and powerful outlier, yes, she talks with a titan, but not because of her own hand but because of her mental power, as the oldest she always cares for her siblings, even if Heatwave doesn't like that. Also she was the giniest but because her frame modifications was the tallest, at least before Heatwave's frame modifications

Heatwave was already done with Lightwave, despite how much Boulder encoraged him to reconciliate with her, but definitely this was not just the beginning of his retirement (and almost of his dead), this was also what made him be done with the entire world, because- wait a damn minute- HOW IN THE ACTUAL FRAG CAN A SINGLE DAMN BOT NOT JUST EVADE ALL HIS MOVEMENTS AND BE COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE BUT ALSO MAKE HEATWAVE SHOCKED ONLY BY A LOOK AT HIS OPTICS?!?! Radiowave, or better know on stage as Wrecker Machine, is a bot that first was constructicon, but because of an "accident" at work was removed from his position and almost became a dalit if it wasn't because of gladiatorial arenas, and unfortunately, like Heatwave, he's really good at his job when his mind decides to disconnect and his ability takes care of everything. His outlier ability is to disconnect and neutralize other abilities, basically, shouting them down at touch for a short period of time (Characters' resume actualization with Radiowave's backstory)

Adventure Bots Au

Lightwave, mercenary, the funny type that chases people for a good price and hides perfectly despite being a big bot, she transforms in a velociraptor and is like the typical bounty-hunter, the difference is that she likes to be with her siblings and loves them so much. She managed to take care of them using her work as mercenary before they decided to go to be independent

Radiowave works with Lightwave since he has age to do so, but unlike her, he's a damned wreck machine, he's crazy, out of control and acts without thinking, so, she and Heatwave are always scolding him, which he hates. He transforms in an allosaur

The 13 Primes Au

Borealis, the terrorcon reincarnation of Unicron's herald, mother of terrorcons and real Prime of Earth, dedicated to dominate all human race for stealing her father's land and end her mission of killing the last piece of what stays of the old Primes...

And Radiowave... I have to admit, I didn't thought of anythimg for him, so, let's say he's offline for now as on LoRB

Hunters of the Cosmos

Lightwave and Radiowave met in this one, so, the quintuplet is together now. Light and Radio transform into reptiles but Lightwave can fly like Shockwave and Soundwave and Radio is a land-reptile, Heatwave is a sea reptile

Shattered Glass

Lightwave is, and not just is, she IS THE most loyal, hateful, and sinister cityspeaker Optimus Prime has, agile, tiny and murderous, she is the reincarnation of terror and dead itself...

Radiowave is a cutie, if you need something just tell him and he will have what you need in seconds! He's almost an expert in weapons but is a pacifist and a lovely giant

Valley of the Sacred Au

As you saw, the quintuplet is together

Lightwave is the oldest, so, she is a caretaker, but not as much as Soundwave and Shockwave, she's smiley, smart, agile and adventurer, but yet she's also mature and always thinks twice, she's also curious

Radiowave is also here a gentle giant and the youngest, he's modest and gets emotional easy, he's also shy but brave when needed

---

And that's all I have for him now :v, as said, he's dead, so, he will not be in the main Au, nonetheless, he's alive in all the others (except 13 Primes), so, if he appears, you know why

[atlas-ordained]

"Hmm... Ratchet, Predaking, and Wheeljack!" This is a light amount of mischief and tomfoolery to think about.

frag, marry, kiss

Starburst gets a Look™. How she is tormenting him. Obviously he must marry Ratchet, which means he must choose between the other two to (theoretically) "frag"....

He is tempted to rub his helm. Predaking is a formidable opponent, as Optimus knows uncomfortably well. The idea of interfacing with him, frankly, intimidates him, even if he were to use his bipedal mode. There are too many uncertain factors, including the simple issue of potential roughness. Not to mention that Predaking was technically only very recently created....

Wheeljack, at least, has shown a form of respect for boundaries.

Optimus keeps his tone and expression neutral as he gives Starburst her answer, "Interface with Wheeljack, marry Ratchet, kiss Predaking."

[mychlapci]

been thinking about.. the twins laying eggs, but the egg is like. the proportions of kiwi eggs for reference:

why? idk dreadwing struggling and screaming, attempting to give birth to something most mechs would lay multiple eggs to match the size of is real hot..

Oh lord... Ok, but consider. Predaking is so so big. His eggs gotta be huge... And with how strong he is, obviously his eggs will be extraordinary as well. Perhaps he can only manage to push one large egg into Dreadwing. A very large egg. By the time it's ready to be laid, Dreadwing looks pregnant with several sparklings. It's as big as his entire torso... giving birth to it will be a nightmare.

Predaking will hold his legs as far back as he can so his valve has room to bulge out, but it barely helps. Dreadwing's struggling with getting just the tip through, calipers all snapped and broken and mesh torn as the egg is slowly forced out of him over the course of several days. His valve is gaping so wide afterwards, Predaking could shove an arm in there without any issue and feel the inside of his gestation tank... A bot Dreadwing's size or maybe even larger could have easily shoved their entire head into his poor, ruined pussy...

[ninjasmudge]

Sun Wukong just quietly weeping in the corner cause he can't be Father or Grandpa Sun to the bots. They all call him kid including Bumblebee(who decides to be a little shit about it half the time). Actually, he can be Grandpa Sun to Predaking as the Predacon is a clone and probably isn't that old.

They'll have to wrestle first though considering the Decepticon issue. Only other way for the Monkey King to be older than a Cybertronian is if it's a Sparkling(baby bot). Everyday he's closer into searching for one just so he'll rightfully feel old.

Speaking of being called kid, Pigsy would instantly go silent as he can't really rebuttal about it due the massive age gap. At most he'll ask for them to not refer to him with that title. Sandy just blink but shrug it off. Although he is most likely to get offered water a lot since he's a river spirit in Nevada which either a desert or wasteland.

Nezha would be number 2 on the 'Don't Call Me Kid' list. It's embarrassing for mortals to refer to him like that as none of the factions are truly immortal. They just have insane life spans.

Macaque has a shit ton of blackmail if someone dares call him 'Kid'. He can hear into the past so finding something would be a cinch. Also Macaque definitely share some new swear words with Miko as further incentive to not call him 'Kid'.

DBK is number 1 on the 'Don't Call Me Kid' list. He's older than Nezha and Sun Wukong so being referred to like that would just anger him. Especially since DBK will only get involved in this alien robot insanity because of Red Son. Princess Iron Fan doesn't want to be called kid either but she likes hearing about the drama from this war. It's a free soap opera in her opinion.

Speaking of age, imagine the looks on Team Prime's faces learning their items that can grant immortality like peaches as there is the idea of magic they're still trying to figure out. Ratchet already had an aneurysm when MK cloned himself just to help with unpacking their latest supply haul. (Ratty doesn't like Porty MK at all.)

Optimus in the corner recording all of this as the archivist in him has become active. Tang and him would be talking for hours if they ever met.

all of this is very on point lmao FOR SOME REASON one of the things that got me here was how funny itd be for dbk to interact with basically any of the bots, his big intimidating talk means absolutely nothing here, he gets like, a polite clap from bee and smokescreen when hes done

... and if ratchet doesnt like porty mk, please take a moment to imagine how much ultra magnus hates him

ALSO I THINK RATCHET WOULD COMPLETELY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE EXISTENCE OF MAGIC, NO MATTER HOW MUCH EVIDENCE HES PRESENTED WITH. HE WILL SIMPLY NOT LOOK. HE IS TURNING AWAY

[lets-try-some-writing]

since you're reacting to stuff, i hope you don't mind reacting to ocs!

here's fogwing, a very,very old lady from earth, one of the few predacons that survived earth from megatron's mission in that regard she absoulty desipes megatron for abandoning her, and very much veiws predaking as a brat.

she very hefty and bulky, so she circumstantiate that with a fog like substance that she produces from her body to confuse the enemy, but this fag uses energon to make and is tiering for her and has rotating chainsaw like teeth for extra damage. but she's slow and her eyesight isn't the best.

fogwing is grumpy at best and doesn't see the conflict as very important, and sees that optimus should just kill megatron and get on with it.

surprisingly, she has a soft spot for sparklings and organics, and funnily enough, is very protective of starscream against megatron's bullshit, but keeps his pride and ego at bay.

she has babies but i haven't drawn them yet lol

she's bigger than predaking, he has mixed opinions about her

This is supposed to be a writing blog, but whatever, here we go. Reaction time.

First off, as writer myself, I can say Fogwing's backstory fits well enough. I don't have a ton of deep context so I can't say much else besides the fact that I can see her story being possible in the Transformers universe without disrupting the plot too much.

You've done an excellent job creating abilities for her. Often times oc's can end up being too overpowered by accident or too needy. Fogwing seems to not fall into either of these categories thankfully based upon what information you have given me. Her skills are evened out by weaknesses, like her fog production using energon and her sight being poor despite her size. All very good weaknesses to even out her strengths.

Her personality doesn't have any notable issues at first glance (writing wise that is). I can see why her personality is the way it is and I like it. Her care for sparklings and organics is a nice touch and her somewhat random attention to Starscream is a fun addition to her personality. I quite like her views on Predaking, even if he is technically her ruler. Overall, a good personality for the character type you seem to have gone for.

Her character design is also fantastic. I love the art! Gorgeous really! At the moment I have no real criticism for this oc. She makes sense and I see nothing that could point towards her presence in TFP being detrimental to the plot overall.

Good work!

[melishade]

Hello

Since Predaking is on the island, I can imagine Mikasa talking to Kenshin, with Predaking and Papa Megs standing behind the two like bodyguards with murderous expressions on the latter's face. Besides, how long will it take for Hange to upset Predaking

Previous Episode of the Deity Timeline

There is some stuff to cover.

Predaking would be a bit preoccupied with the Autobots in order to watch Kenshin. Besides, the Autobots know better than to attack the crowned Prince.

Although, Mikasa does feel a little betrayed. Kenshin didn’t tell Mikasa about Predaking. That seemed super imperative to know about, especially considering their situation. Mikasa does ask Kenshin why he didn’t say anything, but Kenshin explains that Predaking didn’t want anyone else knowing. Also, it didn’t seem wise to tell someone who was experiencing culture shock for the first time that they had a giant metal dragon on their shores. Mikasa still feels betrayed by it, but understands the decision.

Kenshin does warn her that Predaking might be interested in her. Mikasa is concerned and asks why, and Kenshin has to explain that apparently, it was her connection to Megatron. The way that Megatron acts around her, wasn’t how he acted around others. Predaking wants to know what makes her so special. It’s not…something Mikasa is excited to hear.

Meanwhile, Predaking is trying his best to deal with Hanji, because the minute she wakes up, she immediately jumps on his shoulder and asks him questions. Predaking tries to grab her, but she uses her gear to fly around and ask him questions from his left. Predaking is trying to swat Hanji like a fly, but he just can’t seem to grab her. She’ll ask questions about his wing? Does he have heightened senses? How is he able to generate fire? Predaking roars at her, but is flabbergasted at the fact that Hanji is just clapping with delight at the sight. Levi ends up grabbing her and dragging her away, but Predaking is just demanding to know what exactly is wrong with this place! He is upset, but he's also just confused.

Ultimately, the island and Predaking come to a compromise of "check-ins" to make sure that one side isn't fucking up or trying to screw the other one over. Which Predaking has no issue with since he's actually good on his word Megatron. Although Predaking does threaten Megatron. He straight up confront him and demands to know why Mikasa Ackerman is so special to him. Megatron does not answer and keeps his mouth shut, but Predaking's got all the information he needs from Kenshin and Taisho and warns Megatron. If he tries, anything, to harm Hizuru and it's people, he will personally end Mikasa's life. Just like Megatron took away his brethren, he will take away the human. Megatron still doesn't answer, but Predaking sees the fear on Megatron's face and it's enough. He knows he got the message across. Predaking then transforms into his beast mode and Kenshin says his goodbyes before heading back to Hizuru. Hanji is just jealous at the fact that Kenshin gets to fly like that, while Eren and Armin notices how concerned Mikasa look.

And as Predaking flies back, Kenshin finally opens his eyes to the sights of the sky and clouds, and it's an exhilarating feeling.

(Short and simple with this)

[cobalt-cougar]

a moral quandary

weighing the options:

not lying to newsparks

VS

having Grimlock tell the bitlets that the rubber chickens are aliens and he needs to take them to space dock so they can go home when I ask him to handle these noise complaints

pros of lying: cooperation from bitlets, no more rubber chickens

cons of lying: when predaking figures out that we lied he will tell all the other bitties, bitties distrust us, disappointing our son

3:<

other options:

rubber chickens are allowed only in the rec centre, rubber chicken owners of all ages must keep them in their lockers (somehow Vortex and Wildrider each got one, but LB has already hidden Wildrider's and looking for it is +6 enrichment for Wildrider)

meeting in which we somehow explain to bitties why rubber chickens are funny occasionally but make other people miserable when used more often

station housing committee meets to discuss rubber chicken issue and come up with rules about rubber chickens

security officers abscond with unattended rubber chickens, which disappear until next halloween and Viridian, Silverwing and Remix are told that they (meaning the chickens) are not allowed to leave the rec centre next year

brainstorm suggested creating a rubber chicken disintegrating virus but I'm not confident that it would only destroy rubber chickens
