Got assignments breathing down my neck as I speak, but idc it's self indulgent hour
Anyways MTMTE characters as TF2 merc classes based off what I think they'd choose (doesn't mean they'll be good at it), what combat style they prefer, or what TF2 character's personality I think they'd match:
Disclaimer: Most of the ppl in Spy class I think would choose it for purely trolling purposes, or would think they're great at it but actually suck ass- Also not like a serious thingy, I just wanted to figure out what class I think they'd play lmao
#kinda regret not putting Fort Max as Heavy bc I think First Aid pocket medic ubering Fort Max would work really well#also ofc a lot of the classes have a lot of nuance to them#so Tailgate may be more of a fleshed out offense/defense Pyro while Whirl would be a full force offense player me thinks#Megs Engie bc I think he'd be really strategic with dispenser teleporter and sentry usage#Overlord Spy purely to piss people off but he's actually stellar at all classes#Censerre might play but not main? He gives me that “get taught how to play to be hip with the kids” vibe#Rodimus and Scout are made for each other

I finally finished the OptiRatch oneshot
Its a little short, but wonderful
Here it is
vvvvvv
Dont Go.
The footsteps echoing throughout the medbay caught Ratchet’s attention, making his antenna and finials quiver for a slight second from the vibrations before settling. These were not the scampering footsteps of minibots, nor was it like any of the racer Autobots; these were the footsteps of someone big. Setting down his datapad, he turned around from his desk to look at who entered the medbay. Hopefully it wasn't some dumbaft who blew themselves up playing around with weapons, he had no patience for such patients anymore today… they kept giving him a helmache…
No… it wasn't even a patient at all. It was Optimus Prime… his lovely conjunx. His lovely, sweet, and elegant conjunx, his forever sweetspark, his everything… Ratchet couldn’t help but soften his gaze at the Prime. The sun was at just the right angle that made Optimus’s frame shimmer brightly in the rays of the sun. He was glowing, as if Primus was shining his divine light on him. Ratchet stared longingly at his conjunx’s frame before gaining his composure and professionalism, standing up straight and looking into Optimus’s optics.
Now wasn't the time to look at his conjunx like… that. There was work to be done… they could do anything they wanted in their quarters later when he was off his shift…
“Good morning Optimus.” Ratchet said before looking around and looking up at Optimus, slight fear dawning in his optics.
Their sparklings were nowhere to be seen!
“Where are Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Smokescreen, Mirage, and Rodimus? Are they somewhere nearby? Are they anywhere in the base at all? Please don't tell me they went out scouting without telling anyone again…”
A hidden panic bubbled up in his spark. What if someone hurt them? What if they accidentally hurt themselves? What if the Decepticons kidnapped them? What if-
What if they were dead again?
Optimus noticed how scared Ratchet seemed and smiled, putting a stop to Ratchet’s worries, “They’re out racing. After the whole…” Optimus’s smile faltered, almost fading away, at this, but he composed himself and continued, “situation… they haven’t really been leaving each other’s sides. I think I saw Smokescreen clinging to Rodimus before they left with the others to race. I don't think Smokescreen will be letting go of any of them any time soon. I don't even think we can separate any of them from each other any time soon…”
“Understandable.” Ratchet sighed, averting his optics from the Prime’s gaze.
He also felt the same way. His conjunx and all of his sparklings except for one… had all died due to some battle that went way differently than everyone had expected… one that went from a simple battle… to an utter bloodbath… Thank Primus for bringing them back to life. This was probably one of the only times he prayed for Primus… he was lucky enough that his prayers were answered and he got his conjunx and sparklings back. But Ratchet couldn’t help but feel scared. What if all of a sudden, he would lose them again? His audial fins lowered at the thought… it had haunted him for solar cycles, stolen countless sessions of recharges from him… and brought him back to as horrible as he felt at the height of the war.
All of a sudden Ratchet realized that Optimus was still staring at him… how long had he been standing there now? Ratchet had completely lost track of time.
“Is something wrong, Ratchet? You seem… sad. Very sad, dear conjunx.” Optimus looked at Ratchet with a concerned expression on his faceplate.
Ratchet paused, then shook his head, “No… I’m fine. I'm really fine. Dont worry about me, I'll be okay. I promise, sweetspark.”
Ratchet knew it was horrible to be pushing Optimus away like this again, but he didn’t want to bother Optimus with his worries anymore. Optimus had too much on his plate already… being revived from the well of allsparks isn't fun, and Ratchet felt like he would just be a burden… which he hated.
Of course, Ratchet knew that Optimus would notice that he wasn’t saying the truth, and Ratchet hoped that this time, Optimus would let it slide, and not make a big discussion out of it. They were both still dealing with the whole… death situation, and no matter how much they tried to avoid talking about it, it lingered over them like a shadow, waiting for its time to strike.
Not wanting to deal with it right now, Ratchet turned his focus back onto his datapads, hoping that the tenseness would dissipate. But when he heard Optimus leaving, he couldn’t help but say, in a voice that betrayed a great sadness:
“… Stay. Don’t go. Please.”
Optimus stopped and turned around to look at Ratchet, a concerned look forming on his faceplate. After a while of staying still, he eventually started walking back towards Ratchet. Wrapping his servos around his conjunx’s frame, he held Ratchet in a loving embrace, never wanting to let go.
“I won't. I’ll stay right with you, my sweetspark.”
“Please. I don't want to lose you again.”
“Don't worry, I don't plan on ever leaving, my dear dear conjunx.”
They stayed in their embrace for many moments, not wanting to let the other go…
After a while, Optimus spoke up, breaking the silence: “Ratchet, I guess it's best for you to stop working, come along, have some energon, and spend some time with me… just for a couple of joors, okay?”
Ratchet looked up at Optimus. At this angle, Optimus’s optics looked like wonderfully polished sapphires; optics that could tell millions of years worth of stories, ones that were burdened with troubles, and yet so peaceful… What a wonderful sight.
But wait! He still had work to do… Ratchet looked at his desk, where the datapad was laying��
Frag it.
He went with Optimus.

Sleeping Headcanons (Couples Sharing A Bed for the first time)
…
MegOp: Back when Optimus was Orion Pax, his developing romantic ‘friendship’ with Megatron was growing, the two decided to sleep at a local inn during their trips. And there was only one berth. Both very shy and slightly nervous, though Megatron tried to hide it but tripped over a few of his words, they eventually settle in for the night. Low and behold, Megatron snores. He snores very loud. It’s remarkable that Orion actually fell asleep through it all… perhaps because being in Megatron’s strong embrace, holding him close to his chasis as Orion found himself smiling as the safety consumed him and let him dream…. Optimus sighs, looking up at the cold, night sky and wondered if Megatron thinks about those days as well.
RatchetDrift: They both offered to sleep somewhere else if the other wasn’t up to sharing a berth, but ultimately agreed to settle in for the night. Both settling in, resting down… Drift woke up past midnight at the sound of Ratchet’s mild snoring and noticed how the medic gently spooned him with such tenderness and care, Drift smiled as he closed his optics and quickly fell back to sleep.
Rodimags: Rodimus is so fine with sharing a berth with ANYONE actually. He has done it multiple times and simply throws himself on the berth and says a quick “goodnight” to Magnus before immediately falling asleep. Ultra Magnus had to stand there for a moment before awkwardly deciding to join his friend to bed. Quietly laying down next to the snoring speedster, Rodimus is a mild snorer, and closes his optics. Nestles to say, Ultra Magnus also snores and he enjoys spooning Rodimus and Roddy happily enjoys being held.
JazzProwl: They wound up sharing a berth before they even started being together as a couple, both harbouring strong feelings at this point and had formed a deep friendship of sorts. They were both mature and were perfectly fine being around each other, so ultimately decided it shouldn’t be a problem. Jazz would then find out… Prowl snores when he actually gets VERY tired and he LOVES to snuggle, cuddle, and spoon his partner (Prowl only does this with Jazz, ONLY Jazz because he loves holding his Jazz.) Jazz blinks, before smiling as he cuddled closer to Prowl’s chassis. The morning after, Jazz can’t help but smile and giggle a little at Prowl profusely apologies for taking liberties… Prowl thought he was having the best dream ever, not realizing it was very real.
MirageHound: Mirage never shared a berth with anyone in his life… but he decided to act all mature, prim, and proper as he makes the berth and coax Hound to come along. Mirage was surprised when Hound offered to sleep somewhere else if Mirage doesn’t wishes to share a berth. Mirage blinks, scoffing that he is not going let Hound sleep uncomfortably else where and tell him to get ready for berth. Hound raised a brow as Mirage settles, snuggling up before smiling and resting next to him. Mirage then wakes up and nearly shrieks when he realizes he was on Hound’s SIDE of the berth, cuddling him, spooning him, taking LIBERTIES while Hound continued to snore soundly and seemingly unbothered. When Hound wakes up, he was quick to reassure that everything was ok, offering one of his charming smiles that always made Mirage giggle. Mirage swears on Primus, he is falling more in love with the scout.
BlasterSoundwave: Blaster and Soundwave reluctantly shared a berth together, this was during the war and a temporary truce between them as they laid to sleep. Blaster making a boarder between them and Soundwave huffing as he turns away. Turns out Blaster is a cuddlier and Soundwave isn’t a graceful sleeper and sprawls every limb… and the quietest con is a snorer. A very loud snorer too. So behold, both reading the border with Soundwave all sprawled out, snoring with one arm hugging Blaster while Blaster is all snuggled in his chasis.
KnockoutBreakdown: These two are so chill in sharing a berth that they are almost shameless. They have been there for each other through thick and thin and to seeing one berth… it’s more so that they are happy there was even a berth in the first place. So quickly, they jump in and went to bed. No awkwardness when they wake up cuddling each other as they simply stretch and say a quick “Good morning”. Also… they both snore. Though, Knockout refuse to acknowledge it.
InfernoRedAlert: Inferno snores, but are very soft snoring. He sleeps on his side and doesn’t move much in his sleep. He is pretty fine with sharing a berth as they are simply sleeping nothing much. He does find out later why Red Alert was a bit nervous though as Red Alert enjoys spooning and cuddling, it was quite cute actually and Inferno found himself enjoying being spooned.
WindbladeStarscream: Starscream snores. He snores very loud too and Windblade is tone deaf to his snoring though. Windblade is perfectly fine sharing a berth as she done so many times with her sister while Starscream is a little reluctant and almost flustered before giving in. He is also a cuddlier as Windblade found out and she snickered, hugging him too.
GreenlightArcee: Arcee LOVES to spoon her Greenlight! She wouldn’t want it either way and she also loves the sounds of her soft, quiet snores and doesn’t get why Greenlight is so embarrassed by it. THEY ARE ADORABLE. They were both a little shy when they shared a berth for the first time, both offering to sleep else where and kept offering each other the berth. In the end, they both wound up in the berth, snuggled up. Though Arcee found herself staring on how beautiful Greenlight was for a while as she watched the scientist peaceful in her slumber while letting out such adorable snores.
PerceptorBrainstorm: Perceptor calmly went to the berth and fell asleep first, snoring lightly as Brainstorm tiredly followed and fell face first next to him. Brainstorm snoring too, that’s muffled against the pillows. Brainstorm moves a lot throughout the night but leaves Percy undisturbed. They wake up, Perceptor still in the same spot he was while Brainstorm was literally all over the place.
TailgateCyclonus: Tailgate, similar to Greenlight, snores very lightly and Cyclonus also find them quite endearing and gets nervous if he wakes up at night not hearing them… he nearly lost Tailgate twice so he always takes it seriously to preciously hold Tailgate close as they sleep. Tailgate loves being in Cyclonus hold.
SandstormOctane: Similar to Knockout and Breakdown, they aren’t really that shy on sharing a berth with each other for the first time. Both sleeps sprawled out with limbs tangled with each other’s. Octane snores very loudly.
SilverboltSlingshot: Both were rather flustered on the fact there was only one berth, Slingshot immediately offering to sleep on the floor instead but Silverbolt said he would do it instead. Both wound up having a small argument before settling on the berth, giving each other space and shyly saying a quick “goodnight”… Silverbolt had a great sleep but woke up to see Slingshot cuddling on his side of the berth, snoring loud as Silverbolt sighed, gently petting the younger bot’s helm. Slingshot was bright red afterwards and shyly apologizes as Silverbolt smiles gently at him.
CosmosBlastOff: Both were very flustered as well, rather shyly climbing into the berth with shy smiles and laughs before snuggling up in the berth. Ultimately, they wake up with smiles, Cosmos snuggled up into Blast Off while Blast Off gently had his arms wrapped around him. Neither of them snore.
NauticaRoadRage: Road Rage was a bit shy but Nautica assure her that they simply are going to sleep. This was before they confess their feelings for each other. It’s rather sweet though. Road Rage wound up spooning and Nautica snores very lightly and they are very cute too.
GlyphTapOut: They are best friends and are perfectly fine with sleeping next to each other, prior to realizing their feelings. They done it loads of time, though first time were a little shy but it ware off quick. Tap Out lightly snores and spoons and Glyph likes to cuddle.
VelocityFirestar: Neither were that shy or nervous, if anything they were excited to share this moment with each other. Both getting into the berth, Firestar slightly sprawled but held Velocity snuggling into her and they both fell asleep. Firestar snores very lightly but on rare occasions.
LightbrightSparkstalker: Lightbright isn’t even a little shy and snuggles up on the berth, coaxing Sparkstalker to join her. He was a little shy but does so. Lightbright is a cuddlier and Sparkstalker spoons. They both snore very lightly.
LightspeedAfterburner: Afterburner was very shy while Lightspeed cheerfully gets the berth ready and gently calls for him before he laid to sleep. Afterburner quietly joins him and rests down. Their limbs tangled with each other and both snoring loudly, when they woke up, they laughed and stretch out completely content.
MoonheartBlitstream: SHY. SHY. SHY. FLUSTERED. SHY. Blitstream suggested he sleeps on the floor but Moonheart told him not to and she timidly led him to the berth, both shyly getting on and laying there face to face. Smiling a little before closing their optics. Moonheart snuggles closer while Blitstream gently held her. Neither snore, just soft vents and smiles.
AlanaSeaspray: It’s rather sweet, they became a couple and they shared their first night together. Seaspray was a little shy, Alana too but hid it very well. She rest in his arms and slowly fell asleep. Hearing her soft breathing, Seaspray held her closer and closed his optics and went into peaceful recharge. They woke up still cuddling and peppering each other with kisses.
RaoulTracks: Raoul was a little shy as it was his first serious relationship and Tracks was so excited and wanted to be there first time sharing a berth together meaningful. He was very gentle in holding Raoul close to him as Raoul quickly gotten comfortable, chuckling a little as he heard Tracks snores, finding them soothing and cute. He then fell asleep too, snoring lightly as Tracks woke first and smiled big at the adorable sound.
AstoriaPowerglide: Both were shameless and gotten in the berth like that, Powerglide holding her gently to his chasis with one servo while the rest of him sprawled out while Astoria was curled up near his spark. Both snore, but Astoria very lightly and Powerglide very loudly.
Cons4EvaCrankcase: Both a little shy but quickly gotten over it as the rest together. Crankcase spoons Cons as Cons snores lightly and Crankcase slowly fell asleep with a smile as he held his Cons closer to him and went to dreamland.

I love Last Bot Standing so much
because Old Rodimus has so much potential:
-First time he stands up and his back strut makes concerning noises and is sort of sore for no apparent reason/his knee joints give out: oh god oh fuck I'm old oh no OH NO
-First time he realises he doesn't have the energy or motivation to run around with the others: finds that he doesn't mind as much as he thought he would; he lets the others explore and enjoys hearing them messing with each other in the distance
-First time he realises he's forgetting details about long-past missions, lost a few names and places: After worrying there might be something wrong with his processor, he vaguely remembers something Ratchet said a long, long time ago about data decay-- and tries to calm himself with the thought that it's normal, data doesn't last forever-- but he still stays up all night thinking of everyone he never wants to forget, scared he's already forgotten some and can't tell
-First time he notices all the new cracks in his faceplate: He thinks he looks a bit like Kup now, and it makes him happy and sad at the same time
-First time he goes on a scouting mission and has to take a break or he knows he won't make it back alone: no more solo missions? maybe. maybe he never planned on surviving this long, and doesn't know what to do by himself
-First time he struggles to fully boot up from recharge: He realises one day he really won't be getting up again, and with no medics and no maintenance materials, that day may be soon. He survived the war, and all that came after, but nobody can survive time. He's okay with that. He was a Prime, once. He had a good run.
-First time a younger bot calls him old: He can't help but remember when he said the same things to so many old, grumpy bots back in the day. He's a little ruffled by it, surprised, because he still doesn't really think of himself as old. But the kiddos aren't wrong. Inside, it makes him a little happy. Maybe he can do something good for them while he's still around.
-First time he realises he's just not physically able to flame on anymore, due to age or lack of maintenance/fuel or all of the above: He realises he might be losing ability, and it depresses him for a bit until he decides to focus on what he still can do. He can remember an old bot from a while back, who started losing some function. He respected that bot; He kept going as long as he could. Rodimus doesn't want to be too grumpy in his old age. He'll keep on going, too.
-First time he settles down for recharge and gets a moment of actual quiet, the younger bots are all outside together doing a "camping night", the rest are already recharging, and it's just him and the stars for the first time in a long time: He looks out towards the general direction Cybertron is probably in (he's not 100% sure), and briefly, aside from everything else, despite everything, is happy he's lived long enough for closure. The war ended. Society, for a while, was recovering (or trying to). He went on adventures. He saw and did impossible things, with people he genuinely loved.
He has a lot of regrets, but it's over now.
And that's OK. He's cool with that, although he wishes he weren't as sore or tired.
He's had a long, long life. He made a few good calls, now and then, here and there.
And he plans to do whatever Rodimus things he can, right up until there's no more fuel, no more memories, no more time.

How did the others of team prime react to Blitzwing and bumblebee's relationship and carrying? You mentioned Ratchet being sympathetic to Prowl so now I'm very curious since he's usually the one written to be the most salty along with Optimus 😂😂😂
(I’m just gonna follow along w the ICONIC assumption that Blitzwing and Bee hit it off w some good old fashioned banter when,,idk,,their scouting schedules just so happened to cross paths and THEN they found out HEY you’re not so bad after all and meet up in alleys or woods hang 😚✌️
which then ofc leads to catching dumb feelings for eachother and are joined at the hip after the (angst filled) Uprising was said and done. And then they got married and eventually added chatter box #3 to their family)
Ratchet is an old geezer who was notorious for being the ultimate Con hater on the team (which given his past experiences, I get it, but like,,,you can’t make that generalization about EVERY Con bc not all of them chose that life since the factions were split between frame type oppression in discrimination,,anyways) but he is gradually learning to be more trustful of bots who used to wear the Decepticon Badge. He married an ex-Con after all :D
Blitzwing was the Con who insisted he go first after Optimus Magnus instigated the Amnesty Trials that we’re honorable this time around (Sentinel rigged the last ones,, figures)
Blitzwing was given court mandated rehabilitation, probation, and community service indefinitely (as opposed to life in prison or execution as Sentinel would’ve pushed for)
So Team Prime saw that Blitzwing TRULY made an effort in redemption and has only ever shown to be kind to Bumblebee besides their usual bickering ofc, so they weren’t the least bit surprised when Bumblebee and Blitzwing rigged one of their small movie nights into a bootlegged Bonding Ceremony. They exchanged Troth with The Bee movie playing in the background, a holy ceremony indeed✨
Those two were made for each other so there was no objections ofc, plus they’d only been dating and living together since FOREVER so it was about damn time.
Now when they announced that Blitzwing was CARRYING however, that surprised them. Everyone assumed that they adopt no less than 50 cyberdogs before they even though about having a sparkling. But they were both somewhatfunctional adults, so no one panicked of course.
Optimus and Rodimus gifted them some of Envoy’s old play toys, Bulkhead got stated on knitting a tiny onsie, and Ratchet lectured them on the importance of not letting your god damn baffles expire.
bonus doodle of that onise✨
#HAPPY TIMES FOR BLITZBEE :DDDD#and then Di was born and they never slept again#the end!#oh#and then Mayfly comes along and the chatter box trio becomes a quartet :DDDDDDDDDD#asks#transformers#my art#cybertron’s future au#katydid#blitzbee#bumblebee#blitzwing

would the mers compete who gives off better cuddles to the reader?
It's a never ending WAR.
Whenever your sad it won't last long because you have an army of mers that want to cuddle and kiss you and make you feel better.
Rodimus one day after you've gone home of course says he's the best which makes Getaway claim he's better. Than Tailgate gets MAD because excuse y o u he is best cuddler! Swerve and Rewind than argue with him that they cuddle just as good as him if not better. Once they start saying something their conjuxes begin to argue as well, fighting for their sweet. Cyclonus and Chromedome go at it while Skids madly defends Swerve.
Megatron says he's the best cuddler as he's her favorite uncle and Mininus tears him a new one lecturing why he's the best.
Drift mentions something about him being the best cuddler and suddenly there are no friends in the tank. Everyone is against each other. They argue chirp and screech at each other trying to decide who's the best. Nautica whines to Drift that she's the best but BrainStorm repsonds it's him. Preceptor claims that's wrong saying it must be him. Nightbeat explains why he's the best while everyone begins to fight.
The Prime Pod had come to visit and they had some choice words about it too. Bumblebee brags he's the best while Optimus tries not to deck his little scout. Arcee proudly says it's her and Bulkhead and WheelJack snicker believing it's them. Knockout brags about it being him but no one pays him mind except Breakdown who kisses Knockout so he doenst become pouty.
SoundWave and his boys were also there along with Starscream and their pod. They also begin to loudly argue. Starscream said of course he's best but his trine mates turn on him while Rumble and Frenzy turn on each other. SoundWave says he is best but he is ignored.
Seashells and rocks are thrown. Water is split all over the floor. The tanks are a mess.
The next morning when you come in all the mers are asleep but they wake up to your loud piercing shriek at the mess they had made.
Whoops.

More Than Meets the Eye #12- Gay Rights: the Movie
Finally finished with our franchise obligations! Let’s get back to the main story.
Those are some ominous ellipses. Almost like something bad is going to happen!
Let’s take a look at Cover A for this issue.
When this was released to the general public, alongside the synopsis that stated the Lost Lighters were going to run into a group of Decepticons, a lot of people thought we’d be seeing them meet the Scavengers. This isn’t the case, and that’s not Fulcrum. It’s some other K-Con, one that has purple in his color scheme.
Our story opens up with a narrative framing device:
Welcome to “Before & After”, one of the more ambitious issues of MTMTE in terms of storytelling. Roberts really likes bouncing between scenes and POVs, and he’s really indulging that here.
Rodimus and crew have loaded up on one of the Lost Light’s scouting ships to check in on a planet called Temptoria. Whirl’s leading all the guys in the front in a war cry that wouldn’t be out of place in Hollywood’s version of the Vietnam war, while Brawn demonstrates how to not properly handle a gun. Rodimus tries to explain what exactly they’ll be doing, but no one’s listening, feeding off of the chaotic energy. The back seat isn’t quite as rowdy.
Oh, Ambulon’s here? That’s got to be awkward. And Perceptor’s looking mighty cross about having to pick up a gun again. Isn’t he supposed to be retired from being a science sniper?
Rodimus finally gets everyone to settle down long enough to explain the situation, though not without a little jargon mixup.
Basically, Ultra Magnus went down to Temptoria while the “Shadowplay” story was being told, and found out that the organic populace had been enslaved by a group of Decepticons, and, more importantly, the sovereign agreement that the planet had with Cybertron’s been violated. Also, these guys might have been the one’s who kidnapped the Circle of Light. You remember those guys, right? The guys who were supposed to be in the 2012 Annual, but they weren’t, and Drift got really mad about it.
Rodimus wraps up the briefing with a “’Til all are one!” And we cut over to see what Swerve and Tailgate are up to. Tailgate seems to be a little nervous, not the type to enjoy waiting, but Swerve seems to be doing just fine. Why is that, exactly?
Even if Rung’s still a steamed side dish of a vegetable, he’s still here, in a way. And good on Swerve for not assuming Tailgate can visualize in the same way he can. Aphantasia is more common than one might think.
Escapism is an interesting way of dealing with your problems, but I don’t know enough about wartime psychiatry to know if this is something that would actually be considered a viable solution or not.
Oh, now that I’ve said it, I’ve got the research itch.
Later, later.
Anyway, Tailgate gives it a spin, and his happy place is surprisingly domestic for such a seasoned professional.
Pipes, it’s a clear glass, it’s not hiding anything from you.
Speaking of Pipes, he’s seated next to Hound, as they discuss what happened to Red Alert. Or, rather, the cover story that’s been fed to the rest of the crew by Rodimus, which is that the engine room pretty much attacked him. This is how ghost stories get started.
Trailcutter’s gotten some guns installed in his legs, because he’s a hypocrite.
Over with Chromedome and Rewind, there’s trouble in paradise, as they’re having a lovers’ spat. Chromedome’s giving Rewind the silent treatment, and Rewind’s having none of it. What exactly are they fighting about? We don’t get to know about that yet, but it’s digging up other issues, like Chromedome going back on his promise to stop injecting. The only thing keeping this from becoming a total meltdown is Whirl can-canning through the door to kidnap Rewind, so he can film Whirl getting in the zone before the fight. Whirl’s having a great time. This is probably the first time they’ve gotten to fight something since the Lost Light took off, and he’s all about it.
Rewind’s dragged away, and Chromedome just lets it happen, because he’s feeling cross. It’s good to take a moment to cool off, but I’m not quite sure this was the best time or way for it to happen.
Meanwhile, on the Temptorian surface, Blip the Decepticon, who is likely the dirtiest son of a gun we’ve run into so far, is asked to take a look at the monitor by a guy who sounds exactly like Megatron. It doesn’t particularly matter which Megatron, because comics are not an audio-based medium, so you can pick whichever one you like best. What’s on the monitor does not please Blip in the slightest.
I feel like maybe having guys who don’t turn into flying machines jump out of the bottom of the shuttlecraft isn’t the greatest tactical thinking, but I’m sure everything will be okay. Brawn’s got a gun, maybe he’ll figure out how to rocket-jump before he hits terminal velocity.
Then the narrative jumps to after the fight, as the ship flies away from the scene, and Chromedome isn’t happy. It’s for a different reason than earlier, though.
Man, Pipes just can’t win, can he?
Ambulon remembers that he is, in fact, a medical professional, and starts working on Rewind, while Chromedome tries to ask Swerve just what the hell happened. Swerve’s having his own issues, however.
I’d nearly forgotten they had skeletons.
On the production side of this issue, we’ve got two artists: there’s our usual guy, Alex Milne on the “Before” sections, and Brandon Cahill on the “After”. Cahill’s other Transformers work includes The Transformers (2009) and the sister series to MTMTE, Robots in Disguise. Outside of the franchise, he’s worked on several Marvel pieces, including writing Sable & Fortune and Legion of Monsters. Unlike a lot of the alternate artists we’ve seen for the series, Cahill won’t be a one-and-done; we’ll see his art again in Dark Cybertron, Season 2 of MTMTE, and even Lost Light.
Getting back to the story, we’ve jumped back to the point in the battle where everyone’s hit the ground and are just wailing on each other. Tailgate and Swerve watch the chaos unfold, as Ultra Magnus more or less takes on a platoon of Decepticons.
Drift’s having a great time, as he Naruto runs through the enemy, slashing as he goes with a big ol’ smile on his face. He stabs a guy in the back of the head who was trying to grapple with Rodimus, thus interrupting the little dialogue they had going on. Rodimus is vaguely upset that his moment was cut short.
In the “After”, the shuttle’s landed back on the Lost Light, and Chromedome rushes out with Rewind in his arms to find First Aid with a motorized stretcher. He was hoping for Ratchet- he wants only the best for his shnookums. As they run Rewind down to the medibay, Chromedome starts listing off his allergies- which include ultraviolet light, something we know reveals mnemosurgery scars. This is a holdover from a dropped plot point I’ll cover at a later time; as it stands in the canon narrative, Rewind’s just got an allergy to the friggin’ sun.
Back at the shuttle, Tailgate starts dragging Cyclonus down the gangplank. Oh, hell. You know it’s a bad situation when the guy who literally couldn’t die for six million years is out of commission.
Spoke and Lockstock are a bit of a gag- they always manage to get their asses kicked, but everyone on the ship really likes them. They will never be seen on-panel, and have no character designs.
Over in the medibay, history is being made.
Esteemed members of the jury, I present to you: canon gay robots. The first in a long line of them. This is the starting point of the queer community being handed the Transformers franchise on a silver platter.
Up to this point, Roberts hadn’t gotten any further than implied attraction and affection between robots, in either his fanworks or professional credits. Pretty heavy-handed implication in some cases-
-but implication nonetheless. Here is the first, honest-to-god direct confirmation of two male-coded robots in love.
In love and space-married and recognized by the authority in power, in a comic written in 2012, as a part of a major franchise owned by a massive American company, three years before same-sex marriage would be legalized on a federal level.
As part of the story, it’s great. Within the context of the time during which it was published, it’s a whole other level. This wasn’t just good writing, it was important.
Let me part the kimono a little here, with some personal backstory- I grew up in Buttfuck Nowhere, NC, and went to a high school that was so homogeneous, they were threatening to bus students in after I graduated. I didn’t know what a gay person even was until I was 12. “Lesbian” was used as an insult, and it was one I was subjected to because I had cut my hair short in middle school and wore cargo shorts on occasion. It was something I really pushed against, because that’s how a lot of people react to being forcibly given a label.
Not the best environment for a little queer kid, clearly.
It wasn’t until well after I’d gone to college that I really started understanding who I was. Hell, I’m still figuring some things out, but at least I’m getting somewhere.
I remember reading this for the first time in 2015- yes, I got into the comics sort of late- and then having to reread it. I needed a moment just to process what had happened. As a person who had only recently come to terms with their sexuality at the time, it was kind of mind-blowing to have that sort of representation, especially since I was also watching Transformers Prime at around the same time. Talk about the duality of man, am I right?
These days, there’s a lot more representation in many different forms of media. Things are getting better. Which, y’know, yay! I’m glad. I just can’t help but wonder if things would have been a little different if this sort of representation had been available earlier on.
Anyway, so yes, Chromedome’s got a difficult choice to make for Rewind- either let his body try to sort itself out, or let First Aid break out the clamps and try to jumpstart him. Rewind’s got a relatively rare spark type, but luckily Chromedome’s the same type. Looks like everything’s coming up roses for our boys!
Tailgate and Cyclonus aren’t getting nearly as good a break.
My god, he’s filled with grape soda!
Back in the “Before”, things are getting a little silly.
Chromedome, what POSSIBLE tactical advantage could you be gaining from riding the giant, fire-breathing robot dinosaur? This is why they threw you in Kimia, isn’t it? Because you’re a dumbass.
While this bullshit is happening, Rewind and Tailgate are stacked on top of each other to look through a window, because I guess that’s just how things turn out when the resident couple on the ship is upset with one another. Rewind’s found something, but it isn’t the Circle of Light. Rather, it seems the Decepticons are dabbling in Pink Alchemy- a rather inefficient process that allows organic creatures to be turned into energon for consumption.
The good guy thing to do would be to save all the organics, but there’s a bit of a problem- the door is wired to a massive bomb. Good thing Tailgate was in Bomb Disposal, and is just generally an impressive and well-established dude. He gets to work.
Getting back to a point I made during Chaos Theory, Whirl can’t make a fist. Punching himself in the face is probably more akin to slashing it.
Tailgate’s got a weird approach to bombs, taking the time to teach Rewind how to do it, by way of student-led learning. They decide to poke a hole in the bottom of the bomb to drain all the explosive fluid out, which Tailgate does with little robot tears streaming down his face. Fear is a great motivator.
Oof, not a “Domey” in sight. That’s how you know things are rough.
Outside of this little scene, Whirl and Cyclonus are handling Decepticons. Whirl’s got a hold on that guy who’s voiced by Frank Welker, and we get a nice shot of his sad cat face before Whirl turns his head into a memory.
Swerve- who is also here- asks Whirl to loan him a gun.
GODDAMMIT SWERVE.
Not a single one of you bastards know proper gun safety! Between all the severe depression and reckless weapon-handling, I genuinely have no idea how the hell are any of you are still alive.
In the “After”, Chromedome’s just finished jumpstarting Rewind, and it’ll take a bit to see if it worked, so he’s left alone with his thoughts.
Just kidding, Tailgate’s come over to check in. Seems like Cyclonus is gonna pull through, something Chromedome’s not terribly thrilled about. Chromedome’s still miffed about the whole Kimia thing.
We finally learn why Chromedome and Rewind were fighting; it was because Rewind, as a walking historical database, has been deemed too important to die, and can opt out of any fight he choose to, but he doesn’t, thereby putting himself in harm’s way unnecessarily. Maybe he just worries about you when you go out there on the battlefield alone, Chromedome, you ever think of that? Maybe he doesn’t want to wonder when his husband will return home from the war.
Tailgate asks about all the little vials that are scattered around Rewind’s hospital bed, and we get a little Cybertronian tradition thrown at us.
The vials are filled with innermost energon, the stuff that surrounds the spark casing and never changes, no matter how much you modify or upgrade your body. Leaving a little of the stuff for someone in an offering signifies that you care very much for that person. Chromedome can’t give Rewind any, because he was “born dry”, but I think being space-married to the guy more than makes up for it.
Tailgate asks how the two of them met, and unlike in issue #6, Chromedome is feeling vulnerable enough to indulge the question this time.
But first we need to establish that Chromedome is insanely insecure.
So, Rewind is fucking old. He’s older than the Cybertronian civil war, he’s older than the calendar system, and he’s old enough to have been affected by Functionist society’s categorization system. Due to being a memory stick- something that there were millions of back in the day- Ratioism dictated that Rewind as an individual was worth very little, and made him and his like into slaves. Because he was a slave, he needed a master, and that master was none other than Dominus Ambus, also known as Cybertron’s Mech of the Year for 40,000 consecutive years.
Even on Cybertron, there’s a weird stigma about breastfeeding.
Rewind and Dominus quickly became friends, because that’s just the sort of guy Rewind is, and it made Dominus realize that maybe these slaves Cybertron had been working to death were sentient creatures worthy of respect too. He even developed a test to prove that all the slave classes were on the same level of functionality as everyone else.
On their quest to find a cure for the horrible disease Cybercrosis, Rewind and Dominus fucked off into space, on a wild goose chase to try and find Luna 1, the Cybertronian moon that just disappeared one day. Weird, that. They didn’t find it, and by the time they’d come back home, the war was well underway. They immediately became Autobots, and that was it for a while.
Then we move on to how Chromedome and Rewind met, and boy is it a doozy.
Chromedome had decided he wanted to kill himself, so he moseyed on over to the nearest relinquishment clinic- they did assisted suicides instead of body-swaps at this point- to do the deed. He was sitting in the waiting room, when he heard someone screaming. He wandered into the back to find Rewind weeping over a coffin, and he thought to himself “Maybe I don’t need to die after all” as he offered his future conjunx a shoulder to cry on.
What a fucking dark start to a relationship.
Rewind wasn’t upset about anyone who was dead though, but rather missing- Dominus had disappeared into thin air months ago, and Rewind was getting desperate to find him, looking in more and more awful places in the hope of recovering what he’d lost.
As it turns out, he’s still doing that. The reason the two of them are on the Lost Light is because Rewind needs to find Dominus- alive or dead, it doesn’t seem to particularly matter at this point. That’s why he buys snuff films in dark alleys.
See, Tailgate gets it.
Guys, bad news.
Chromedome’s spark is too weak to jumpstart Rewind. Unless they find another compatible donor, Rewind’s gonna be in big trouble. There’s nothing to do but wait.
Later, in their room, Chromedome is sitting on the floor and very much not following doctor’s orders to get some sleep. Someone on the opposite side of the door he’s leaning up against starts talking to him. Chromedome doesn’t seem to want to hear any of it, until he does.
Given who the basement dweller is, this probably won’t turn out so hot.
Chromedome gets a call from the medibay, and fortunately the universe has decided to play nice this go around, because someone came forward as a match.
But it’s not like Whirl cares about anyone, right? Not in the slightest, nuh-uh, not him!
While Chromedome gives Whirl what is probably an uncomfortably long hug, and they both most likely ignore the fact that Chromedome would be actively suicidal without Rewind, Tailgate’s off in the corner, having taken his hand off and begun pouring cartoon toxic waste into a vial. It’s actually his innermost energon. Boy’s making an offering, but it isn’t to Rewind.
It’s to this ungrateful fuck.
Cyclonus stalks away from Tailgate’s kindness, until he’s stopped by witnessing the power of love.
Everyone likes Rewind, and these displays of affection seems to have reminded Cyclonus that he’s horrifically lonely. Feeling some remorse over his actions- not that he’ll ever admit it out loud- he goes back to help Tailgate pick up the pieces of the vial he broke.
Wrapping up our story, we go back to the “Before”, right before the bomb is set to go off. Whirl and Cyclonus have more or less taken care of the Decepticons, Whirl suggests they set aside their differences and agree to stop trying to murder each other, in a surprising show of reason and, perhaps, self-preservation. Cyclonus doesn’t seem to agree with the idea.
I genuinely think that’s the most he’s said all series up to this point.
Rewind calls the two idiots over for help, because Tailgate’s about to pull a self-sacrifice to get this bomb emptied, and he just isn’t listening to reason. Cyclonus assists.
Once Tailgate’s been fastball-specialed out of the room, Whirl decides to get back to being a bastard, and locks Cyclonus and Rewind in with the bomb with 10 seconds left on the clock. Ah, so the donation was out of guilt, I see. Still a form of caring, in its own way.
With no way to escape, all Cyclonus can do is attempt to shield Rewind with his body as the bomb goes off.
That’s the end of the issue but it’s the middle of the story, and despite what Cyclonus says, dynamics are changing. Slowly, but surely, things are shifting. He’s headed for a lot of character development, and he’ll be kicking and screaming the whole way.

at the risk of being Cliche (or rather, painfully me) i loved the scenes with perceptor in observing drift. i don't find their friendship is explored often enough and i liked how you did it
😏 okay so I was going to bed last night and I saw the first few words of this ask and went “yup, Alice is asking about Percy” and I feel very vindicated to see that I’m right. Since we don’t have a specific scene as per say here I’ll just blather a bit about Drift’s different friendships.
this is in response to the dvd commentary ask meme & is about Observing Drift (presumably, as it’s the only story I’ve written where Drift and Percy interact)
So when I started Observing Drift there were a bunch of relationships that other readers/writers had perceived as ships that I hadn’t imagined that way
Gasket
Megatron
Wing
Perceptor
Rodimus
& I knew that I wanted to make sure I didn’t throw any of those characters to the wayside, even if I didn’t give their friendship a romantic character. (though I kinda did for Gasket, Megatron and Wing it wasn’t initially planned) So I wanted to give each friendship it’s own dynamic and make sure it was important to Drift.
There aren’t a lot of Perceptor scenes and, as you probably noticed, they’re all pretty functional. I needed something to happen and Perceptor was a character it made sense to have the scene with. While Drift rescuing Percy is what brings them together initially, I didn’t read it as an especially important part of their friendship - they save each other and move on. On the other hand, Drift’s initial acceptance of Percy’s decision to remake his frame is really important to Percy.
I didn’t cover it in great detail, but Percy, Drift and Blurr (…I kinda let blurr fall to the wayside i’m only human i’m sorry there are too many characters) were working as perimeter guards and scouts together and I felt that that probably influenced their friendship a lot as well. @gaymilesedgeworth had some great posts on it awhile back, about the fact that a lot of the ‘strategies’ mentioned seemed to be of the sort ‘sacrifice drift maybe percy will save him’. Which had to build either a lot of trust or resentment and I went with option A.
Percy was the obvious answer for who rebuilt Drift’s frame, once I said that Ratchet wasn’t involved (for story reasons). He’d done frame rebuilds before and Drift trusts him - since Drift is generally kinda messed up about changes to his body and medical care selecting a character he trusted absolutely was important.
They’ve also got going for them that they’re each other’s quiet friend. Both Percy and Drift have at least one boisterous wants to talk / wants to talk about feelings friends and also a lot of responsibilities where they have to be ‘on’ all the time. It makes sense to me that they’d retreat together into Percy’s lab just to have some quiet time and that eventually they’re probably end up talking about important shit just because they were spending time together. They’re interesting in each other’s skills and interests but their skills and interests don’t really overlap at all - they can be supportive or vent without expecting situational advice. Sometimes that’s what you need out of a friend.
but yeah, off the top of my head I can only remember 4 Percy scenes, 3 of them with Drift present:
Talking about death after Perceptor’s remade his frame
Remaking Drift’s frame together
Percy defending Drift from people gossiping about him
The scene where Drift and Magnus are investigating unauthorized access to Percy’s lab
I don’t know Percy very well as a character, or I didn’t when I started writing so I mostly just tread very lightly and kept to some core character traits:
quiet, thoughtful, serious
principled
reluctant to share his spread his problems/traumas to others
secret lurking badass
nerd
loyal to his friends
and I guess it worked out if you (the biggest percy fan I know) enjoyed it 🤞
#timelessmulder#ask meme#long post#the primary way this resembles a dvd commentary#is that its literally stream of conciousness#and probably makes no sense

Simpatico for the pairing thing!!
Fake datingIt’s hard for Brainstorm at first, since he has actual feelings for Perceptor. Ultimately, he decides this is as close as he’s going to get to really dating Perceptor so he goes all in. After all, if Perceptor makes too much of a show of rejecting him, then the whole fake dating plan falls apart.
Finally, Brainstorm can call him “Percy” and hold his hand and rest his chin on his shoulder to look at what Perceptor is working on. Sure, it’s all fake, but it’s not like Perceptor is ever going to actually have feelings for him.
Except that Perceptor liked Brainstorm the whole time. He went through his own small “I hate that this is fake” crisis, but he ultimately swallowed his pride and did what he had to. Which was easy while Brainstorm was also being stiff and awkward, once he loosed up, it was a lot harder for Perceptor to ignore his feelings.
One day, Perceptor finally snaps at Brainstorm that he genuinely likes him and he can’t do this fake thing any more.
Other than “and everything is resolved and they real date” I am now out of ideas!
BodyswapThey do a terrible job of acting like each other.
The biggest problem is that Perceptor is really hot? And has a really hot alt mode? And how does Perceptor get things done when he’s so hot? The crew knows something is wrong when Perceptor can’t stop posing in front of mirrors and generally strutting around.
Perceptor is simply bad at acting. He tries to mimic Brainstorm’s mannerism, but he’s so stiff about it that no one is fooled for a second.
Brainstorm also is conflicted between his desire to brag and his desire to have people recognize him. If he differs to Brainstorm, he’s really differing to Perceptor. Sure, no one knows that but he knows that! And that’s bad enough!
Sexpollen/fuck or die/aliens made them do itThere actually was a good fic with this premise!
Brainstorm is apologetic. He wants this, but wants full consent on Perceptor’s part. Perceptor has a difficult time convincing him that this is very much wanted, please.Dark!ficPerceptor secretly plots with some of the crew members to overthrow Rodimus. As part of the plan, a group of Rodimus supporters are kicked off the ship and are stranded on a planet with the DJD rapidly approaching. Included in this stranded group is Brainstorm and- OH WAIT
Secret kinksBrainstorm has a not-so-secret microscope kink. Perceptor has a very secret dominance/submission kink that he’s hoping to take to the grave.Their first kissIt’s shortly after Brainstorm’s trial. Perceptor approaches him to say something, anything he can to offer comfort. The words get lost as he looks into Brainstorm’s eyes.
Brainstorm’s been trying to keep up appearances, but he’s tired. He’s so tired. The trial was hard, the entire time travel journey was hard, and having to lose Quark again was hard. He cracks a smile at Perceptor, but his eyes are dull and unfocused.
Perceptor can’t find the right words. “It will be okay” sounds hollow at the best of times and it’s absolutely meaningless now. “I’m sorry for your loss” or “I understand” don’t sound any better. So he says nothing.
Taking a step forward, Perceptor reaches out to hold Brainstorm’s hand. Brainstorm looks at it with unfocused eyes and he begins to tremble. He collapses against Perceptor and sobs.
Perceptor lets him stay there as long as he needs. He gently caresses Brainstorm’s back and lets him cry, it’s been a hard day.
Finally, Brainstorm leans back, still shuddering from his breakdown. Perceptor pulls him forward and locks their lips before Brainstorm has a chance to fully understand what’s happening.
Those are all the words he needed.
Meeting the parentsPerceptor’s parents are very proper and stiff and meeting them is like taking a jaunty trip to the pit for Brainstorm. All jokes are met with blank stares, any discussions of Brainstorm’s work in weapons development put a sour look on their faces, even praising Perceptor’s theories doesn’t seem to put him in their good graces.
When they finally leave, Perceptor smiles and tells Brainstorm that it went well and his parents seemed to like him. Brainstorm gives him a weird look.
Brainstorm’s parents are on the opposite end. They’re loud, they fight, they have no idea what their son is talking about the moment he says the word “science.” They love Brainstorm though, and he loves Perceptor, so they love Perceptor. And their son is quite the catch! Good job on nabbing him, Perceptor!Moving in togetherPerceptor likes minimalism. Brainstorm likes having everything where he might need it. This could work out find, but “where he might need it” is anywhere in the house. Brainstorm doesn’t like to be limited in his work area, so he has collections of things all over the place.
“Why is there a soldering iron in the kitchen?”
“For soldering, obviously.”
“Why are you soldering in the kitchen????”
“Why not?”
A crossover of my choiceCrossover with Sailor Moon.
Everything is the same, but they’re sailor scouts.An AU of my choiceCollege Professor AU.
Brainstorm is the fun professor that everyone loves and he has maybe set fire to a classroom before!
Perceptor is the boring professor that everyone dreads.
No one believes them when they say they’re married.

A Simple Femme In Beast’s Suit, Part 1
Okay, so this work is on my AO3 user PetiteLepus and this work is inspired by Zekkoss. Check them out, they’re awesome. I’ll tag @rocksinmuffin, my Senpai, and everyday inspiration since I want her to name the Reader! But enjoy the story!
It was a regular day in Lost Light, or at least it would have been if it wasn’t for Swerve. The metallurgist had heard a broadcast sent to the whole ship by Rodimus about how they were passing by an artificial planet called Ovika 1.5 and the minibot couldn’t be in a greater rush. So he abandoned setting up his bar for the night and told Ten to carry him with his bigger legs to the observation deck. They came in, doors busting.
”Captain,” Swerve called, but was silenced by the sight of both Rodimus and Megatron staring out in the space until the smaller mech had burst in. He fixed his mistake quickly, ”I- I meant, captains! W- we must visit that planet, it’s my life long dream, besides managing a bar, please let’s go there, even for an hour or half, I’ll give you both free drinks and energy treats for tonight!”
Rodimus’ optics widened and mouth formed to a smile, but before he could agree Megatron stepped in, ”Swerve, that planet is abandoned. There is nothing there. It’s just dust and dirt covered artificial cyber asteroid floating in space.”
”That’s exactly it!” Swerve smiled broadly and jumped down from his bouncer’s arms and made his way to his two captains.
”I’ve read about Ovika 1.5 when I was back on Cybertron studying and I know it’s an artificial cyber planet that had historic and highly rare and these days NON-EXCITANT energon chips planted on it for harvesting high functioning ancient energon, way more powerful than normal energon!” The white and red mech beamed excitedly.
”Wait, hold on, I don’t get this.” Rodimus interrupted before Swerve could start again and glanced him and Megatron in confusion, ”If this Ovika 1.5 is so great, then why it’s abandoned light-years away from Cybertron?”
Swerve was about to explain, with extra details that weren’t asked, but Megatron folded his arms and shot him a look. The metallurgist shut down immediately, even covering a little. The former warlord huffed and turned his grumpy look to Rodimus, ”The Ovika 1.5 was abandoned because it showed no sign of growing energon. Instead, it started to grow organic life forms. At that time it wasn’t wished result for such an expensive experiment so Council decided to launch it off to space and destroy all the data of it to cover up their mistake.”
”But the legend about the rich energon filled planet never died and mechs all around the Cybertron told stories about it and its location! I always wanted to find it and harvest the rich energon to make amazing new drink combinations that not only bring people happiness but nurse them also! They say that ancient energon can cure weak sparks, fuel mechs for a week with one sip, and even prolong life!” Swerve piped excitedly and clapped his hands, ”It’s also highly valuable! Worth millions!”
Rodimus brightened up like a light bulb and turned to mech in charge of controls. ”Park the ship here, we’re taking Rodpod and go take a look at that little planet!”
”Rodimus!” Megatron snarled and turned to his co-captain, ”This is not a good idea and you haven’t even consulted Ultra Magnus about this!”
”Relax, Magnus is having his armor checked by Brainstorm and Perceptor so he won’t a notice a thing if we disappear for an hour or two! We just get a couple mechs with us, get to the Rodpod and take a quick peek! If there is this ancient energon then we grab some and, well, let’s see what we’re doing then. For now, wham-bam in the van, let’s go! Swerve, you’re coming with us.”
”Yes!”
~~~
”This is remarkable!” Brainstorm shouted from the bottom of his chassis as he threw his arms in the air as if he was expecting the planet to embrace him. Mechs exited the Rodpod one by one, but he had to be the first one on the land. Nautica was close behind him and once she was next to her best friend she copied him perfectly, ”This is amazing!”
The artificial cyber planet had grown into a beautiful organic looking planet. The grass was tall like a meadow’s no matter where it grew, flowers as big as minibot’s head and strangely reminding some of them from tentacles as they hang from a bulb looking like an onion…?
The trees looked like Earth’s palm trees, but they were even taller than normal mechs were and leaves were fuchsia-colored and flowers brown like they were almost dead, but still alive. The sky was bright blue, but that had to be the only normal thing on that planet since even the clouds were light green. Heavier clouds were almost poisonous looking.
”Okay everyone, I’m giving you all a job!” Rodimus shouted, getting everyone’s attention.
”Brainstorm will do his science thingies and Nautica accompanies him.”
The nerd duo high fived.
”Rewind takes records from this place and you watch after him Chromedome. I don’t want to put anyone in danger.”
”I’ll guard him with my life.” Chromedome said as he leaned over his smaller lover's shoulder to nuzzle his facial mask against his Conjunx Endura’s own. Rewind returned the sign of affection with as much love, ”Oh Domey…”
Rodimus cleared his intake, averting his gaze from the lovely dovely couple and fixed his optics on Skids and Swerve, ”You two take a look around and see if you can find anything. Remember to report back to me. And for all of you make sure to scout the area carefully! Don’t leave a stone or a twig turned and report everything to me by our comms if you find anything!” Rodimus shouted and made a pose, ”Until all are one, so go wild!”
”YES!” And just like that everyone except, Rewind, Brainstorm and Nautica, transformed and went on their different ways. Rodimus drove to the South, Skids and Swerve drove to West, Chromedome took Rewind on top of him and they drove to North and Brainstorm and Nautica went on their ways to East, each one on their own mission.
~~~ At East ~~~
”Look at this bug Nautica! It’s amazing! Not the biggest I’ve seen, but it’s still pretty amazing!” Brainstorm squealed excitedly as he used his sample taker to poke the beetle that he had kneeled down to inspect. The femme was right beside him, looking curiously the beetle that reached to their knee joints. It made cricking sounds and shook its shell each time Brainstorm poked it.
”I wonder why it’s shell is bright red… and what are those orange spots on it? Wouldn’t it be better for it to camouflage to its surroundings? There must be a reason for its absurd coloring!” The scientist said as he poked the chubby beetle straight between its antennas and suddenly the beetle hissed and-!
”Watch out!” Nautica screamed and quickly yanked Brainstorm out of the way danger’s way. The beetle spat a spray of bright yellow spit at him, but thanks to the mech’s best friend’s fast reflexes, the spit flew past him and hit the ground, and just like that, the beetle bolted and run away to the lush grass. The duo watched after it, then each other and finally the spit on the ground.
”I think it doesn’t need camouflage to hide.” Nautica noted. The spit hissed as it melted a giant hole on the ground and killed all the plants around it. Brainstorm squealed again and quickly got out his vials and took samples, ”Of course! It’s not trying to hide, but warn the predators that it’s dangerous and someone not to mess with! I must document this and run some tests on this acid to find out its composition to create more of it! Then I can mass produce it for my weapons! Imagine the possibilities!”
Nautica chuckled as she watched her friend blabber over how he needed to analyze the acid’s composition to create more of it and talk about all the great weapons he could create with it. While he took samples, she took a look around. The planet was weird but very pretty on its own way. Nautica couldn’t almost believe that it was accidentally created by Cybertronians, but if the massive animals were any indicator about their roots then it matched.
On the corner of her optic, she noticed a big bush shaking couple steps farther from them. She was curious to see what caused the shaking and since Brainstorm was busy, she decided to investigate. Nautica didn’t expect to find what she did.
”Uh, Brainstorm? You might wanna see this.”
”Oooh, what what, what is it? Another critter?” The scientist giggled and ran to his friend. Nautica shook her helm, not averting her eyes from the show bestowed before her. Two rodents that looked like super hairy fluffy puff rats with longs green lizard’s tails were mating like there was no tomorrow. Interesting, but kinda gross also…
”Yew… Neat, but still, yew.”
”I want to take them back to the ship!”
”No you don’t.” Nautica chuckled and walked off to look for something else magnificent. It wasn’t hard. Actually, wherever she looked they saw the planet’s habitats… Being all over each other. Avians with leathery wings, bugs with bright colors, mammals with their weird six eyes.
Noticing that Brainstorm was still watching critters bang, Nautica went to her friend and pulled if away, ”C’mon you, dork, let’s give those animals some privacy!”
”Noooo! I want to take them with me…!”
”You can take that ancient energon once we find it.”
”Even better! Let’s go, let’s go!” The scientist laughed as he bolted straight into the wilderness, trying to find the ancient energon. Nautica chuckled at her friend when she noticed a flock of avians circling the sky not so far away from where Brainstorm had run off to. She followed her friend to the flock of birds and she almost couldn’t believe her optics.
Bones. Giant bones everywhere. Bigger than her and any basic mech. The avian vultures pecked the squeaky clean bones, trying to find something to eat from them, but they had already been cleaned from meat.
The avians must have been hungry since they would only change a skeleton when Brainstorm went to inspect one of them.
”Nautica! This is amazing, these bones are gorgeous!” He squealed like a sparkling and straight out lifted one from the ground, ”So heavy, but almost hollow! This creature had wings to fly with, but the size of a fighter!”
He threw the bone away and went to inspect the skull with enormous sharp fangs. ”These fangs indicate that this creature was a carnivore because it lacks the blunt molars to grind it’s the food like herbivores do to plants. These fangs were purely for ripping meat apart!”
As Brainstorm rambled on, Nautica started counting bones and how many creatures they had in their pedes. According to skulls at least three giant carnivores. She couldn’t help but wonder why these animals had died.
”Hey Brains, you got any idea why these guys died?”
”I thought you would never ask!” Brainstorm giggled and jumped over the skull he was investigating to take a look at its neck.
”Look look! This one’s neck was crushed with such force that it not only snapped the cervical vertebrae but it CRUSHED IT! It’s in pieces! This monster had no chance against its competitor when it had its neck in enemy’s jaws!”
Nautica nodded as her friend made his way to another skeleton, disturbing vultures as he went to its ribs. ”Suspecting by the crushed sternum, this one received a fatal blow to straight into its heart! A real kill shot, am I right!?”
Brainstorm jumped to the third corpse, rolled over a giant skull that was more damaged than other skulls. Not only was it’s front almost black, but there was a huge hole in the middle of the forehead. He pulled servo through the skull’s black part, only to smudge his servo. ”These burnt marks are so deep, that this one had its whole face burnt before something smashed it’s head inside!”
Nautica nodded, eyeing the corpses. ”That sounds interesting Brains.”
”It is, isn’t it!”
”You do know what this means, don’t you Brainstorm?”
”That there is a giant creature here, vicious enough to crush competitor’s neck, strong enough to pierce a chest and able to breathe fire or strong acid through its mouth!”
A silence fell over them as two of them thought what was just said. And just like that, they both quickly opened comm links.
’This is your Captain? Did you find anything?’ Came Rodimus’ voice through the comm.
’Captain, uh, Rodimus? We have a problem!’ Nautica was saying when she was interrupted.
’Yeah, no shit. I found something. Something is seriously-! Hold on, Chromedome is contacting us.’
’This can’t wait-!’
’Rodimus? Is Brainstorm also on this comm?’ Came Chromedome’s voice.
’Nautica is here also!’ Brainstorm cheered.
’Hi Chromedome! We got the news! Bad news!’
’They can’t be as bad as our news!’ Rewind joined the link, ’There are hundreds of capsules here, from Cybertron!’
’Okay, that beats my news.’ Rodimus said, ’Nautica, Brainstorm, Chromedome, and Rewind, let’s all meet back at the Rodpod. I’ll contact Skids and Swerve and tell them to return-! Hold on, they’re just contacting me.’
’We’re in trouble!’ Skids yelled straight into comm link.
~~~ At North, Quarter Earlier ~~~
”Seeing anything Rewind?” Chromedome asked as he kept driving through the tall grass that seemed to go on and on forever. The minibot kept his visor and camera on the horizon, trying to see anything worth filming or noticing. Like a big rock that was coming up.
”Turn left to avoid a rock coming up-! No wait, it’s a sheep. It’s a sheep that looks like a rock. Just drive past it!”
”On it.” Chromedome drove past the sheep, only to hear unholy screeching behind him and Rewind’s hold on his roof tightened. ”Oh frag, it wasn’t a sheep, but a ram and it has big horns and it’s angry!”
The bigger mech laughed, ”How bad can it be, it’s organic. It won’t catch us-!” Chromedome had to swallow his words before they got past his vocalizer as hard and pointy horns rammed against his rear bumper.
”Frag!”
”What did I tell you!” Rewind shouted, but there wasn’t even a hint of malice or sassiness in his voice as it was only laced with laughter, until the ram rammed against his lover again, almost knocking minibot off from him. Without another word, Chromedome sped up until they left the ram eating dust.
”This planet is weird! I love it!” Rewind laughed as he filmed over his shoulder how the ram was left behind. Surely mechs on the ship would love to see them getting chased by a rocky organic.
Chromedome laughed, his engine rumbling with mirth. Then his lover noticed something and patted the vehicle’s hood to get his attention. ”Domey, there is something in the distance.”
”More rams perhaps?”
Rewind focused his optics behind his visor and used his camera to zoom in. He saw many round things in the distance, but he couldn’t tell what they were. ”No, they look like them, but it’s not it. I don’t get any signs of life from there.”
”Should we check it out?”
”It wouldn’t hurt.”
The duo made their way to mysterious objects, only to be shocked out of their minds. Rewind got off from his Conjunx Endura so Chromedome could take his normal mode. The minibot was about to approach the mysterious round objects, when the bigger mech stopped him, pushing him behind himself and approaching objects first.
”What on old Cybertron…?” Chromedome muttered as he touched the weird grass-covered object. When nothing happened, he swiped his servos over the grass, pushing it to the side. He felt his optics widen behind his visor and without his notice Rewind creeping beside him. ”Primus. Domey, do you realize what these are?”
The bigger mech nodded before wiping both his hands over the plants, getting rid of them, and uncovering what they hid there. It was a capsule. Old as time and rusted through every protective layer of metal. Chromedome put some extra pressure on the rusted surface and the rotten metal shattered under his servos like crystal. He couldn’t almost believe what he saw.
A protoform of a cybertronian sparkling, not even fully evolved. It still had its white soft armor, black outlines, and nonexistent head. There were no other details in it that growing sparkling would have. Chromedome extended his hand and carefully felt the protoform. It was stone cold and not emitting any field.
”Rewind… what are these?” The big mech asked without looking away from the cybertronian baby.
”I heard rumors back in old times when the Council decided to get rid of Ovika 1.5 that they used it also as their way of getting rid of failed power spark experiments.” The minibot explained.
”Power spark?”
”They wanted to create an artificial spark that was stronger than normal cybertronian’s spark that could carry much bigger loads than other mechs’ sparks could. Imagine a mech who actually is as big as Ultra Magnus’ armor, but can put on armor much bigger than that.”
”Primus… Those would have changed the whole war.”
”Yeah, but they said that experiments went wrong. Sparklings took deformed forms, grew too small, became predacons, some were weaker than real sparks, and died out before even growing optics. I heard that all the protoforms were destroyed, but I guess that meant that they sent them off into space with Ovika 1.5…”
Chromedome grew silent. He took a look at small protoform, barely grown enough to form a face or alt mode. It had died in a locked capsule with no chances of ever seeing stars or life itself before its life was suffocated. He took a look at hundreds of other capsules and he could already tell that each one had a dead cybertronian sparkling in there.
”That is horrible…”
Rewind nodded, ”I tried to ask about it from Dominus, but he said his lips were shut and denied everything. Of course, I knew he wasn’t able to talk to me about everything but to hold this as a secret…”
The lovers gave a moment of silence to dead cybertronians that didn’t even see light but darkness before they probably starved to death. The moment was finally broken by the big mech. ”We should report to Rodimus and the rest of the crew. They should know about this.”
Rewind nodded and the duo contacted Rodimus through comm link. They connected to comm but were immediately met with Nautica saying something about waiting to the comm link.
’Rodimus? Is Brainstorm also on this comm?’ Chromedome asked about his friend.
’Nautica is here also!’ Brainstorm cheered through comm.
’Hi Chromedome! We got news! Bad news!’ Came Nautica’s voice.
’They can’t be as bad as our news!’ Rewind joined the link, ’There are hundreds of capsules here, full of protoforms from Cybertron!’
’Okay, that beats my news.’ Rodimus said, ’Nautica, Brainstorm, Chromedome, and Rewind, let’s all meet back at the Rodpod. I’ll contact Skids and Swerve and tell them to return-! Hold on, they’re just contacting me.’
’We’re in trouble!’ Skids yelled straight into comm link.
~~~ At South, Ten Minutes Earlier ~~~
Rodimus drove like a madman through the wilderness. For once he was in a planet where there were no speed limits and he wanted to let go a little bit and be wild youngster that he was. There was no Ultra Magnus telling him to slow down or Megatron nagging at him.
The wildlife ran as soon as they heard his motors revving and going off so there wasn’t danger of hitting anyone. He had even left the grassy landscape behind him to avoid rocks or other things that could have been hiding in tall grass.
Rodimus kept driving, occasionally stopping to drift a little and leave his tidemarks on the ground until he saw something rising in the distance. The colorful mech made his way to the object and transformed.
”Wow. Well, you don’t see this every day.” Rodimus whistled. A giant pillar of teal-colored energon grew straight from the ground, growing few heads taller than. It was even so wide that he wouldn’t be able to wrap his arms around it.
”This has to be that ancient energon Swerve was talking about.” The Captain muttered by himself as he eyed the impressive monument. Who would have thought that little chips could grow so tall? Rodimus took a look around the pillar, trying to see if there was a crack or small piece anywhere, and there just happened to be a tiny piece of energon on the ground, just by pillar’s base.
”Hmm, might as well taste this and figure out what so great about this stuff.” Rodimus hummed as he picked up the tiny piece and propped it into his mouth and bit down.
”Ouch! Frag!” The mech cursed and spit the energon out. ”Frag…! That hurt, what I tried to eat? A piece of diamond!?”
Rodimus felt around his mouth, trying to feel if he had cracked a dental plate, but everything seemed to be still intact. He sighed in relief. His perfect smile was still flawless. Then he noticed something. Teal powder at the base of energon pillar.
The Captain wiped his servo over the powder and felt it between his servos. A very fine energon powder. Despite anything he had learned during his life, he licked the powder off from his servo.
Rodimus moaned in delight. That had to be the best energon he had ever tasted in his life! So sweet like energon treat, but not overly sweet and it melted on his glossa like softest oil cake ever. How something that gorgeous tasting could be as hard as a diamond?
The captain looked up, wondering where the powder came from because he wanted to see where the powder came from and he saw four deep grooves just above his head in the pillar. He felt his spark drop. Whatever had left such marks to a energon that hard wasn’t normal.
He had to contact others. Something was seriously wrong on that planet. Rodimus was just about to open his comm link and contact others when he was contacted first. According to incoming information it was from Nautica and Brainstorm.
’This is your Captain? Did you find something?’Rodimus asked.
’Captain, uh, Rodimus? We have a problem!’ Nautica was saying something, but Captain beat her to it.
’Yeah, no shit. I found something. Something is seriously-! Hold on, Chromedome is contacting us.’
’This can’t wait-!’
’Rodimus? Is Brainstorm also on this comm?’Came Chromedome’s voice through comm.
’Nautica is here also!’ Brainstorm cheered.
’Hi Chromedome! We got news! Bad news!’ Nautica said, only to be cut off again.
’They can’t be as bad as our news!’ Rewind joined the link,’There are hundreds of capsules here, from Cybertron!’
’Okay, that beats my news.’Rodimus said,’Nautica, Brainstorm, Chromedome and Rewind, let’s all meet back at the Rodpod. I’ll contact Skids and Swerve and tell them to return-! Hold on, they’re just contacting me.’
’We’re in trouble!’ Skids yelled straight into comm link.
~~~ At West, Five Minutes Earlier ~~~
”Oh my Primus! Skids, look!” Swerve shouted and pointed to the distance. The blue mech turned his attention from two banging giant crickets to look at what his friend was pointing at and he almost couldn’t believe what he saw.
Energon. Pure, brightly glowing energon crystal pillars that were almost as big as Skids raising from the ground in bundles. They were gorgeous, glowing with soothing strong teal color as no other energon glowed. Skids turned to Swerve whose blue visor practically shined in excitement. ”Skids, we found the ancient energon!”
”We sure did.” Skids chuckled as his friend yanked his hand, trying to get more speed to him so they could inspect the mysterious pillars. After the third tug he walked to energon with his friend. As soon as they were next to pillars Swerve let go of him and touched the energon.
”Primus, it’s smooth! I’ve never seen pure energon this smooth! Usually, they’re like unpolished rocks, diamonds, or gemstones. Ragged and sharp! This is almost like it was made to look this perfect!” Swerve babbled excitedly as he felt around the energon pillar like it was a beautiful mech before him.
The metallurgist actually tried to crack the energon with his fist, only for it to bounce back to him. ”Man, this is hard! I think we might need a laser drill or something to get even a piece of this back to ship with us! C’mon, help me with this, find a rock or something!”
”Whatever you need buddy.” Skids shook his head, but turned and started to look around for a rock. Meanwhile, Swerve kept inspecting the pillars, going multiple times around them, taking in every detail he could get.
”Did you find anything?” The red and white mech asked without looking at his friend.
”No, not yet.”
”Keep looking, there must be something that can crack this beauty up! There are already some marks on it!”
”Marks? What kind?”
”I don’t know, I’m not a wilderness professional, I’m a metallurgist, and I know by this hard energon that there is something even harder than that that left these marks here.” Swerve said excitedly, before he ran to his friend’s side, ”Imagine everything we can make with this much ancient energon! We could maybe even grow it on Lost Light, and imagine all the drinks I can make with it!”
”Okay okay!” Skids laughed and snatched a nice sized rock from the ground and turned to face Swerve. ”I think we should try with this rock…” Skids grew silent in a way of danger. A large shadow rose over two mechs as a monster, bigger than Skids had ever seen climbed on top of energon pillars.
The monster was huge, sharp jagged scales black as endless space adorning its body and long tail whipping behind it, enormous wings folded over it’s back and bright crimson lights glowing from scales’ seams over its chest and legs. Big and sharp horns grew from beast’s head, the couple from jaws and it didn’t even have lips to cover sharp looking fangs. Skids was officially scared.
”What? What is it Skids? You look like you saw a ghost!” Swerve laughed, completely oblivious of what was behind him. Until there was a deep gurgling growl. The minibot froze in his place and glanced over his shoulder and Skids saw his friend’s visor flicker.
Bright crimson eyes glared down at small metallurgist and monster’s claws tightened around the energon and it actually cracked under the sharp claws that sank into it, like it was soft energon gelatine.
”Swerve… Back up slowly towards me and don’t take your optics off from that creature…” Skids instructed his friend quietly, trying to stay calm in a dangerous situation. Swerve slowly did as he was told, backing up away, careful not to take his optics off from the monster before them.
The monster stared at them, but when a twig snapped under Swerve’s pede, it growled again and Skids acted. He threw the rock with all his might at the beast and the stone hit it straight to its shoulder. ”Let’s get out of here!” Skids yelled to Swerve and friends quickly transformed and hit the gas and drove away as fast as their tires could take them.
The monster screeched behind them, but the mechs didn’t stay to listen to it, but kept driving. If they were fast they could lose it.
That hope died when the familiar giant shadow landed on top of them. The monster was flying after them. Skids did the right thing he knew was right and opened comm link to the rest of his friends.
’We’re in trouble!’ Skids yelled straight into comm link as soon as he got the line open. ’There is a giant monster chasing me and Swerve!’
’Monster!?’ Came Rodimus’ voice in the comm.
’That’s what we tried to tell you, that there is something seriously dangerous in this planet!’ Nautica screamed to comm link.
’Okay, everyone, get back to the Rodpod, and let’s get out of here! Skids, can you and Swerve lose the monster after you?’ Rodimus asked.
’I don’t think so! It’s flying after us!’
’It can fly!? Interesting! Can you shoot it?’ Brainstorm asked.
’Okay, new plan, Brainstorm get to Rodpod and send an emergency signal to Lost Light! Skids, lead the monster towards South to me! Everyone else, get to the Rodpod and we buy you time to get there before joining you!’
’Got it!’ Everyone shouted and put the plan in action.
”Swerve, head to the Rodpod! I’ll be a decoy so you can get to safety!” Skids shouted over monster’s roaring and Swerve was quick to do as he said. ”Got it, on my way, be safe!” Skids and Swerve made quick turns, each in a different direction, and Skids even flashed his rear light to get the monster’s attention.
Two of them went to complete different directions and Skids did everything he could to get the monster to follow him… but to his horror, the monster ignored him completely. It went after his bartender friend.
Skids tried to turn on all his audios, trying to get a monster to come to him with noises, but the beast only showed interest towards the speeding minibot.
”Frag!” Skids cursed and made a quick U-turn and drove after his friend. He quickly contacted Rodimus.
’Rodimus, plan failed! The monster is after Swerve and heading towards Rodpod!’
’Pit! Okay, try to get that creature’s attention at any cost! I’ll be there in a second!’
’Roger that!’
Skids tried to catch up with his friend as best as he could, but the distance between them had grown too big. He tried to contact Swerve with comm link, but something was jamming the connection. The blue mech cursed and drove faster than he ever remembered driving, but it was too late.
Rodpod came to view and so did all their friends waiting for them there. Chaos hit them all like a shooting star. Everything happened in such a short time that no one couldn’t almost understand it. There was a roar and all of sudden the monster was just before them and glaring each one of them that it saw as invaders.
When Rodimus made it to the scene the beast roared again and surprised everyone by shooting a long stream of pure bright blue flames towards the sky. The heat was overwhelming, even if it wasn’t directed at any mech on the scene and for bots who didn’t feel heat or cold like organics, it was a great shock.
”Primus, it’s enormous!” Nautica shouted.
”Be careful everyone! Get to the ship when you get the first chance!” Rodimus shouted, getting next to Skids.
The monster whipped its enormous head towards Rewind with a growl and Chromedome was in front of his Conjunx Endura in a second, shielding him with his whole body and being, ready to bounce at the monster with empty hands. There wasn’t even a hint of fear of death in his actions. Not towards his death though. If he was to lose Rewind when he had just gotten him back then he would have truly died.
The monster dug its claws into the ground and focused its optics on Nautica and Brainstorm who were standing side by side. When the crimson eyes made contact with the scientist’s optics, he squealed like a mouse and hid behind Nautica, who stood her ground bravely, ready to protect her friend.
The black beast turned its attention on the rest of the group. Rodimus and Skids were side by side, ready to fight together against the attacker, their fists clenched and arms in the right position to throw punches as powerful as possible. For a second, it appeared that the monster was going to back out. It didn’t stop growling, but it raised it’s head off from threatening snapping position and even took a step back to retreat… until its eyes landed on Swerve.
Small, weak, and vulnerable Swerve was hiding behind a tree. That didn’t seem to launch the upcoming attack, but the fact that Swerve was alone.
The monster roared and in a blink of an eye rotated it’s head in a circle, shooting flames all over itself. Mechs ran away from the danger and the monster used the panic it created for its advantage as it ran straight through the fire towards Swerve.
”Swerve!” Skids shouted and ran towards his friend, but the monster whipped around and hit him with its tail, sending him flying straight into the air. Swerve got down on his knees when the monster got to him, trying to appear as small as possible. The beast swiped its claws through the air and with that move sliced the whole tree in pieces.
”Oh Primus, Skids, Captain, somebody!” Swerve screamed in terror as the monster’s claws wrapped around him.
”Hold on Swerve!” Nautica and Rodimus yelled and ran to save their friend. They had no time to waste. The beast turned towards them, roared and with a flap of its great wings, sent a surge of wind at them, knocking them on their afts.
The beast roared again and took off to the sky, Swerve with him and screaming from the bottom of his chassis. ”HEEEEEEELP!”
”Swerve!” The Autobot’s got together, Skids already in a motion to save his friend.
”Where it’s taking Swerve!?” The blue mech shouted, looking at his friends and then towards the black dot on the sky, ”C’mon, we got to follow it before it hurts him!”
Rodimus, Chromedome, and Nautica nodded in agreement.
”Okay, here’s what we do! Brainstorm, you fly after the beast, me and Skids follow behind you while Nautica takes Rewind and Chromedome back to Lost Light and comes back with Megatron, Ultra Magnus, and Whirl!” The Captain shouted orders, ready to transform to go after the monster, when Brainstorm got in his way, ”Wait wait, hold on!”
”Brainstorm, what the frag!?” Rodimus shouted at the scientist, ”That beast might drop Swerve at any given second or rip him apart! We must hurry, now!”
”I know I know, but listen! Me and Nautica made some important findings when we were exploring the planet! You see, it’s the start of the Spring season on this planet! Notice how flowers are blooming and those ancient energon bundles are glowing?” Brainstorm asked and pointed at each thing in his speech.
”Cut the chase Brainstorm and tell us what it matters!” Chromedome snapped, still holding Rewind tightly against his chassis, not showing any signs of letting his loved one touch the planet’s ground anymore. The scientist cleared his intake as a lousy cover up to his giddiness towards science, ”It’s animals’ breeding season! Me and Nautica took notes on many animals fragging in the safe places!”
Everyone glanced at Nautica and she nodded, ”Brainy tells the truth. We even saw a weird rodent with reptile tails doing it.”
”So what you’re saying is that-!”
”That’s right!” Brainstorm giggled like a madman, ”That monster saw a potential mate in Swerve, snatched him, and took him with him so it could breed with him!”

Autobots Meet Sexy Monster Ladies, Part 1
Soooo, I just like monster ladies, they’re hot, I like Transformers, who are also hot, so why not combine these two? The Lost Light will have some sexy time with new alien planet’s sexy residents. I got the bravery from @rocksinmuffin to go with this idea, and I’m trusting the first bot’s smexy time to her skilful hands! I have my own list, let’s just see what will happen! Who will frag which monster lady?
This wasn’t exactly what Megatron had in his mind when they came across a new planet, but he couldn’t say that he was surprised by his Co-Captain running off to recruit any eager mechs to join him on exploring mysterious planet.
Megatron and Ultra Magnus stayed behind, as the ex-Decepticon-leader watched the green planet grow larger and larger on the monitor. Ultra Magnus was on comm with Perceptor and Brainstorm, listening carefully what the two scientists had to say about the planet so far.
As far as Megatron understood, it was almost identical to human’s planet Earth. It had it’s own atmosphere, it was small part of decent solar system and it even had a moon circling it like Earth had. That was everything they could tell without settling to atmosphere for a closer look.
How this part of galaxy and this specific organic planet had managed to stay hidden and untouched by the war was a great mystery for Megatron. He turned to Ultra Magnus, his face serious as always. ”Are you fine with this? With us proceeding to an unknown planet?”
Ultra Magnus opened his mouth, but cut himself off before he could say anything, correcting his words in his mind. ”Our mission, and Rodimus, insists that we scout through this planet. I also just received a message from Perceptor. According to a quick scan, this planet could supply us with new energon resources, depending on the purity of it.”
”There’s energon on an organic planet?”
”It appears so, but this wouldn’t be first planet we have faced that has energon.” Ultra Magnus turned to Megatron. ”Are you going to join Rodimus and others?”
”I would rather not. Unlike you, I still haven’t gotten used to his unpredictable antics, but if there are intelligent life forms on this planet then I would feel much safer for everyone’s sake that someone level-headed would accompany them.”
”Are you offering to?”
”I don’t see any other way out of this.”
The group was small, but capable, chosen by Rodimus and finally approved by Megatron. Like he had any other choices.
He understood Rewind and Brainstorm. He could see good use having them around recording and collecting data and samples. Drift came since he was excited to see new life and he was talented with his swords. Ratchet was also coming, since it never hurt to have a doctor around incase something went wrong.
But what he couldn’t understand was why Rodimus had allowed Whirl out of all the mechs on the ship to come also. He was irrational, rash and always picking up a fight or a reason for one.
Megatron had tried to talk Rodimus out of it, but Whirl wasn’t going to stay on the ship once he had decided to come. So Megatron gave up, this ONE time. He honestly felt like staying behind, but when he thought about Rodimus speaking to a new civilisation that possibly didn’t even know about life outside their planet.
Rodimus took the first big leap on the planet, jumping straight out of the ship on the solid ground, Whirl coming right behind him and others following. The planet was so far just like human’s Earth had been. Green grass beneath their pedes, blue sky reaching over the horizon and forest swaying in the wind near by.
”This is so exciting! Look at those clouds, flowers and trees! They’re so lush!” Rewind said as he whipped his helm all around him, making sure to film anything that caught his attention.
”I want to take one of each with us and run some tests!” Brainstorm squealed like a sparkling, his optics glinting in excitement and dozens of vials already on his reach.
”As long as you’ve made sure they’re nothing dangerous.” Megatron warned everyone. They had no idea wha kind of a primitives the planet had. They could be hostile, well armed or worse, a spark-eaters.
”BOOORING! What’s the use being here if we don’t have some excitement!?” Whirl shouted snapping his claws agitatedly. Megatron was just about to tell Whirl to return back to the ship if he didn’t shut up and behave, when suddenly Whirl’s optic flickered and he looked up towards the sky. ”Oh hey, they got someone looking at us.”
Everybody looked up and certainly, there was someone circling over the sky above them. Megatron tried to focus his optics, but the sun gave the creature above them a blinding cover. Suddenly he heard a click and metal whirling and he looked at Whirl who had picked up his gun. ”Can I shoot it? I’m gonna shoot it!” He was already aiming.
Drift was quick to slam gun off from cyclop’s claws. ”Whirl, no! It would ruin our karma if the first thing we do on this beautiful planet is that we shoot something innocent!”
”Whirl, we just got here!” Rodimus groaned.
”For Primus’ sake, put the gun down before you shoot one of us!” Ratchet yelled.
”All we know may be that it might be a bomber ready to drop a fragging bomb on us!” The psycho copter said as he angrily put his gun away.
”Whirl, that’s not a bomber, it’s a organic aviator.” Rewind said and everyone turned to him, wondering how he could see when others couldn’t. The tiny mech pointed at his camera, red light blinking slowly. ”I have a light dimmer on my camera.”
”Well, whatever it is, it’s coming towards us.” Ratchet grumbled. Everyone looked at the closing in creature and stood their ground, ready to defend themselves if situation called for it. But what they saw took them all by surprise.
There was a humanoid looking creature with aviator’s wings there where it’s arms should have been and yellow thin legs with sharp looking talons. The creature itself was rather adorable and super small compared to big mechs. It appeared to be as small as human child on their years before young adulthood.
It’s crimson hair was messy, probably because of flying so high had much air currency, matching crimson wings worked as the creature held itself up on their eye level. It’s sky blue eyes sparkled as it looked at them curiously. They all activated their galaxy-wide-translators and waited for the creature to speak. If it was even able to.
”Hi!”
It was able to. It also appeared to be she if her light girly voice was anything but a hint.
”Um, hello!” Rodimus took a bold step forward and offered his hand as it was habit in human Earth. Maybe she was relative to humans? Instead of shaking his hand, the bird girl landed on it, her surprisingly strong talons wrapping around his finger. Rodimus felt like he was holding a real bird. It was something he had never excepted to do. ”How are you?”
”Kimi’s good! Kimi’s flying!” She said and make a wide motion with her wings. Did the little creature speak of herself in third persona? Well, who was Rodimus to judge. He might start doing that as well.
”That’s cool! Where are you flying?”
”Kimi can’t remember…” What was this creature, an lost infant? Even for a humanoid, she was awfully small. ”Kimi was suppose to take a look at something new… but Kimi forgot.”
Rodimus and Megatron shared a look. She was probably a scout sent by her superiors. What kind of a creatures sent a child on such a dangerous job? They could have been Decepticons or worse, if there was anything worse than Tarn and his group.
”Captain, there’s someone running this way.” Brainstorm noted and pointed towards the vast meadow. Rodimus and Megatron turned to look who was coming and they saw a something coming at them with a speed strong enough to raise a cloud of dust on it’s wake.
Their optics zoomed in and they saw yet another human hybrid running towards them… with their lower half being an Earth horse’s lower body. But what drew the crew’s attention were giant, no, ENORMOUS breasts she had, jumping up and down as she galloped. Rodimus inched a little closer to Megatron. ”I’m not seeing things, am I?”
”Clear your optics.”
”I did and I still see them! You’ve seen more humans than I, do they usually have such a huge racks!? Primus, they’re bigger than her head!”
Before Megatron could even reprimand Rodimus, the horse woman came to a screeching halt before them and pulled out a a very real and very sharp sword, pointing it towards the mechs.
”Halt! Thou are you metallic men and what is your business here!?” The bootyful brunet with a white horse’s body peeking from under a big skirt yelled at them, her voice strong with bravery and heavy accent. None of the mechs had ever heard an accent like that.
Megatron stepped forward, not intimidated by the sword since it would probably just scratch his paintjob. ”We’re Autobots and we come in peace. We’re on a mission to find a new home planet-!”
”Žemė isn’t open for those like thou!” The horsewoman stomped her hooves on the ground and for a second mechs felt threatened by smaller life form. ”Leave and never return!”
”Maija they’re nice!” Kimi the bird girl chirped and jumped off from Rodimus’ hand and glided with a skilful grace next to horse woman. Maija lowered her sword a little, apparently knowing Kimi, but she didn’t put it away either. ”Kimi, I told thou to seek out enemies and report back to me! Not to accompany them!”
”Oh, so that’s what Kimi was suppose to do!” The bird girl laughed lightly and turned to look at giant mechs over them. ”But metal giants are really nice! Colourful like Kimi also!”
Rodimus felt a prod of proudness. She was almost as red as he was. The horse woman looked like she was about to argue with the more simple minded girl, but Megatron had to ask. ”You sent a child to scout us? We don’t mean any harm, but not all the travellers passing by might take kindly to such actions.”
Maija scowled and gave them a harsh leer. ”Thou are underestimating the Harpies age. Kimi here is four years older than I and I am 26.”
Well that was surprising. Mechs looked at each other and Ratched asked. ”Now hold on a sec, pardon me, not to be rude, but she appears far younger than you young lady.”
The woman scoffed, but she seemed to relax a little bit. It must have been Ratchet’s approach to situation. ”Thou really don’t know anything of Žemė, do you? Thou aren’t trying to take over our home?”
Megatron shook his head. ”None. We just found out that this planet existed and we decided to see if there was any clues that could have helped us to find Knight of Cyberton.”
”Have you heard of them? Any clue, even smallest one could help us!” Rodimus butted in, grouching down so he was a little bit more at humanoid duo’s level. He still hovered over organics easily, but neither of the girls seemed to mind his attempt to ease the situation.
Maija actually seemed to accept them, not deeming them as dangerous anymore and she put her sword back to it’s sheath on her… stomach, waist? ”Very well. Thou haven’t made any attempts to abuse my friend’s credulousness, so I will help you the best I can.”
Rodimus beamed. Megatron couldn’t believe it how his co-captain was able to break through these young women so easily. Maybe it was his paint job and flames. He was an eyesore and wouldn’t camouflage anywhere. Maybe they didn’t see a predator in him. Maija gave them each a quick look, before her green eyes landed on their Rodpod. ”Is that thou’s ship? It’s rather runty. But, forgive me, then again, thou could also be a small group.”
”No no, we’re here just scouting the area. Our ship is still above the atmosphere.” Rodimus said and got back up. ”I hope you don’t shoot us down with any magna weapons or such things.”
”That would be up to the Queens.”
”Queens?”
”Žemė is ruled by our Queens. Three of them resided to our land capital Pistas. It’s couple miles down the hill. Thou may follow us if thou want to meet them.” Maija explained, before stopping. They all heard a camera, or rather an optic zooming in. Megatron hoped it wasn’t what he thought it was.
They all looked over and sure enough, Whirl got his lonely optic pointed right towards the horse woman’s busty chest area. She stared at the giant mech, shocked to silence, before suddenly blushing so badly her face turned crimson.
”Thou foul giant cyclops!” Maija drew her sword and jumped at Whirl, trying to jab his lanky feet with her weapon, but the mech dodged it easily with his lanky chicken legs.
”Keep thou’s eye in my eyes!”
”Hey, I gotta appreciate the organics’ nice-!” Ratchet swatted the mech over the head. ”Shut yer mouth and apologise from this kind young lady, who is ready to help us!”
”Owww! Alright, alright, jeez…! Sorry! I won’t stare anymore!”
Maija scoffed, but when she looked over at Ratched her scowl turned into kind smile. ”Thank you noble giant. You truly are a knight among the peasant.”
Now if Ratchet wasn’t an old mech he might have blushed at the praises. Still, despite his elder status, he did take the kind words to his spark. ”Just honouring a lady’s wish of privacy.”
Maija nodded, retreating her sword again and Kimi started jumping up and down excitedly. ”Let’s go, let’s go! Kimi will lead the way to the city! You follow Kimi!” Before anyone could even object, the tiny harpy jumped up, spreading her wings and with a strong push rose to the sky.
The mechs glanced at each other, before turning to Maija, only to see her galloping at the high speed, far off already. Rodimus glanced others and grinned. ”You heard the ladies. Whirl, since you like talking you get to pick Rewind with you. Autobots, Wham bam in the van!”
Many groaned, but did as they were told and soon enough the Transformers were driving and flying after two women. They caught them up with ease, but what they didn’t except to see was a city so enormous that it would have left New York in shame.
As soon as they made it to city’s border, everyone took their normal forms and soon enough, they got audience. Megatron, Rodimus and rest of them watched in surprise how many avian hybrids there actually were in the air, diving in to meet the new people. There were so much of them that it looked like a rainbow had exploded all over mechs’ optics and before anyone could really complain, their frames were already used as landing trees.
Every single harpy approached them without a hint of fear. Rodimus laughed as the bird humans landed on his shoulders, head, hands and fingers. Megatron felt more complexed. He wasn’t sure what to feel towards these fearless little humanoids that approached him with such ease, not knowing of the crimes he had committed.
Rewind was recording every second, Ratchet was baring it, Whirl felt like a scarecrow, Brainstorm asked feather samples from every harpy that crossed eyes with him and Drift… He was enjoying every second he could take, being one with nature. Then Kimi appeared, huge smile on her pretty face.
”Kimi told everyone about new friends and everyone wanted to meet you!” Tiny harpy said happily as she hovered just before Rodimus’ face. The captain smiled and gestured to his filled hands. ”That is nice of you. Want to ask them to take off so we could meet up with the queens?”
Kimi nodded and called all her friends off and they took off into the air. It was like watching colours fly. Maija joined the Autobots, coming up front from the city. ”Follow me. I’ll take thou to see the Queens.”
The Autobots followed behind the horse woman. With their huge frames, they made it to the busy part of the city quickly. They were actually surprised to see fantastic artisan work done on the skyscrapers that towered over the mechs and there were even cars and motorcycles. Žemė appeared almost as perfect replica of the Earth. Except the residents.
Megatron almost felt like he was walking to his trial again. People were staring at them so much, but the mechs were honestly looking at the people also. There were so much different humanoid hybrids. Some looked exactly like humans, but instead of two optics they had one huge one. Some people had spider’s lower body, some had snake’s lower body.
Soon the mechs came to a very big grand building that looked like a villa. It surprised the mechs that the building was actually big enough for them to enter. Inside the building was office workers busting from room to another, answering phones and doing their daily duties.
Maija knocked on a enormous double doors and they creaked open with a surprising ease. She turned to Megatron and others and nodded. ”Thou may enter, the Queens have heard of thou’s arrival.”
”Thank you.” Megatron thanked the horse woman and she nodded, stepping to a side to let them enter. The group walked into the room and they came across three new humanoids. A green tailed snake woman with a head full of snakes sat at the end of a very big dark wooden table. She had an official looking suite and pencil skirt on her
On her right was a dark skinned tall woman with long dark hair and long pointed ears on her head. She was wearing same official outfit as the snake woman, only her skirt wasn’t a mini skirt, but a long maxi skirt.
On her left sat a surprisingly scary looking woman whose skin was red, long horns growing from her forehead and her eyes being crimson red. Unlike other women, she had bikini looking outwit on her, with dozen of coins hanging on the edges. They were all looking at the papers before them, but when Autobots came and they turned their full attention on mechs.
”Aaah, welcome to our planet Žemė!” The snake haired woman said, getting up from her seat and slithering around the table to meet up the mechs. Her two colleagues got up and followed her. They all got before Rodimus and Megatron and bowed like a royalties would do. Gracefully and full of elegance that was beyond a normal citizen’s abilities.
”We’re the Queens of Pistas and area surrounding the city. I’m Maddy the Medusa.” The snake woman said and bowed once again.
”Greetings visitors. I am Aydan the Fourth Anubis.” The sharp doggy eared woman said and nodded to each mech, acknowledging them all.
”And I’m Malika the Ghoul Queen!” The red demon looking woman cheered and did a little twirl, like she was dancing. Megatron put his right servo on his chassis, over his spark chamber and bowed respectfully back to them, even if he still towered over them. ”It’s a pleasure being here.”
”Likewise. I’m Rodimus Prime and this is my co-captain Megatron.” Rodimus said next to him, not even showing any other signs of respect other than saying that. Megatron rose to glare at his co-captain, but the red mech ignored him.
”How were you expecting us? Or noticed us? Do you have some kind of a signal catcher hidden in some base here?” Rodimus asked, much to Megatron’s anger. ”Rodimus, don’t be rude.”
”Indeed.” Aydan glared Rodimus from the corner of her almond brown eyes, but when she looked at Megatron, her glare disappeared. Malika swayed on the heels of her feet and hummed a little. ”We do have a space centre, you know? Our researches caught your signal ages ago and we have just been waiting for you to come visit!”
”How come you didn’t answer to our signals and invite us?” Rodimus asked.
”We wished to prepare a party for your sake. You’re our first visitors from space.” Maddy told them.
”You aren’t scared?”
”We have been aware of life outside Žemė for a long time! We catch signals here and there and put a thing or two together from whatever we may hear.” Malika helpfully added.
”You appear to have very advanced technology, despite one of you baring a sword as her weapon.” Megatron said, minding his words so he wouldn’t even accidentally offend anyone.
”My apologies for Maija’s forwardness if she caused any trouble. She’s a little hotblooded. The Centaurs themselves aren’t as fond to modern science as rest of the species here on the Žemė are. They’re more about honour and serving, but they’re good friends and loyal subordinates to have around.” Aydan said and bowed lightly as apology for her servant’s sake.
”None taken.” Megatron replied. Maddie slithered forward and smiled to mechs much bigger than her. ”Our party for you isn’t finished yet, so you may stay here as long as you wish! We can even host you in some of our houses.”
”Thank you for the offer. The crew could use a little break.” Rodimus answered without even consulting Megatron about staying. The grey mech gave his co-captain a dirty look and Rodimus reverted. ”But we insist on staying in Lost Light. We’ll just park it somewhere.”
”Understood.” Aydan nodded. Megatron wasn’t still pleased, but it was better to stay at their own ship rather than bother this planet’s residents with their big frames and need for energon. But they had to talk some business.
”I need to ask you, even if you haven’t explored space before, but have you heard of something called The Knights of Cyberton?” The grey mech asked. The Queens shared a confused look with each other.
”Knights of Cybertron?” Malika wondered out loud.
”Cybertron is your home planet?” Aydan questioned. Megatron nodded. ”Yes.”
Maddy frowned and sadly shook her head. Even her snakes on her hair seemed sad. ”I’m afraid we haven’t heard anything… Why are you looking for knights?”
”They’re kinda like our Gods. We’re trying to restore our planet to the way it used to be, so we’re looking for them.” Rodimus explained. The three Queens shook their heads. ”We’re sorry that we don’t know anything. This is the first time we have heard of them.”
Megatron felt disappointed. Their trip was useless if they didn’t receive any information about their Gods, but trust it to the Rodimus to take the best out of the situation. ”Well, that sucks, but it’s cool! We’re millions years older than you so it would be miracle if you knew anything! Either way, we’ll enjoy our stay here!”
Three Queens smiled and nodded. ”We will be happy to have you here.”
Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad? The crew could use a little rest and take example from Drift who loved everything peaceful.
”With all due respect Your Highnesses.” Brainstorm captured everyone’s attention and Megatron felt like everything was going to go downhill. ”I have been paying some attention and I noted that you don’t appear to have any representers of your masculine sex here. Not in the city anyway. I would like to ask why is that?”
Megatron tried and Primus praise him, he was able to stop himself from pinching the bridge of his nasal. He regretted letting other mechs besides him join them on the throne room with this planet’s rulers.
The Queens shared a quick glances with each others and Megatron feared that they had offended them. Instead, Queen Maddie smiled and tip of her snake’s tail wiggled almost happily. ”That is actually what we wanted to talk with you Captains. You see, we wish to trade with you.”
”What do you want to trade?”
”You Cybertronians aren’t really famous out there in space… But we don’t mind you. Many may found you strange, but Žemė is really open planet to different species. We should know after all. So you could maybe use some of our fuels, energon what you call it as, to fill up your supplies. That’s what you consume, I understood?”
”That is correct and awfully generous your Highness.” Megatron bowed lightly. ”But what do you want for exchange?”
The sharp teethed smile on snake haired Queen’s lips was nothing more than devious and pleased. ”We want your bodies.”
”…Excuse me?”
They wanted their bodies? Did they want them to sacrifice some of their men to them? Was the crew wrong about this planet? Were they really organics or were they the first organics to eat metal. Or did they wish to build weapons from them?
The calm Anubis Queen cleared her throat to get their attention. ”It’s not exactly that. Our planet was wiped clear of all men three years ago by an unknown virus we weren’t able to cure. What we wish to have from you are some of your seeds so we could give birth to a new generation and possibly restore our former independence.”
Megatron saw Whirl fist pump the air from the corner of his optic.
That made so much more sense, but it didn’t make things any easier. Some mechs didn’t mind organics, but some didn’t find them appealing either. They would need to talk about it with Ultra Magnus in private before they could agree on anything.
”Okay, let’s do it! We can help you!” Or Rodimus could just go and agree on anything without hearing what rest of the crew had to say about the case. Megatron couldn’t allow it. This thing needed to be discussed with Ultra Magnus before agreeing on anything! They weren’t Decepticons who bended others to do their bidding.
”Excuse us.” Megatron bowed yet again and not-so-gently hauled Rodimus to the side of the room so they could get some privacy. As soon they were alone, he gave his flashy co-captain nasty look and whispered, ”Are you being serious!? This has to be discussed back on the Lost Light!”
Rodimus scoffed and casually tried to slung his arm around Megatron’s shoulders, but he wasn’t quite tall enough. So he just motioned the bigger mech to lean down a little so he could talk quietly back to him.”Come on Megs-”
”It’s Megatron.”
”Megatron. Can’t you sympathise with them?”
”How so?”
”They’re dying, just like we are. They may have home, but they don’t have any way to continue their citizens. They’re all femmes and last time I checked, human women at least couldn’t reproduce with each other. They have that problem! If we don’t help them, who would? Plus, our crew could get kicks out of it also!”
Megatron grew quiet. He pondered what Rodimus said to him. Maybe he was right. If they just left, they might just as well doom this planet to extinction if no one else was coming along. Cybertornians had destroyed planets and life forms with their war… Maybe it was time for them to save one.
”Alright… But we must discuss this further with Ultra Magnus.”
Rodimus beamed like a newborn solar system. ”You won’t regret this Megs!”
Megatron couldn’t even correct the younger mech before he ran off to the rest of the crew and Queens. He groaned and followed him, but he was surprised to see his mechs socialising with three Queens. Megatron had no idea which side had started it, but they looked like they were all enjoying themselves.
Maddy the Medusa Queen had coiled her long tail around Drift’s arm and was happily chatting with the peace loving mech and Rewind who no doubt was recording every second. Megatron noted that Aydan the Anubis Queen had a calm, but apparently pleasant conversation with Ratchet about Primus knows what.
Malika the Ghoul Queen was happily twirling around and showing her dancing skills to Whirl and Brainstorm to enjoy and observe. The movement made the coins on her clothes ting in harmony. Organics were so bendy compared to Transformers, whose joints weren’t predicated to such dexterity. Organics sure were quick to engage a conversation with them.
”Okay men, we’re heading back to Rodpod and return to the ship!” Rodimus declared cheerfully and looked at everyone. ”I see you’re all getting along! That’s great! When are you ready to take us in Your Highnesses?”
Maddy smiled as Drift helped her back on the ground and other Queens joined her. ”We can host you here right away. I’ll let the other Queens know we have visitors. Many will certainly want to meet you also.”
”We will be looking forward it.” Megatron and Rodimus bid their farewell and mechs exited the room. Maija was right outside the room, waiting for them. ”I’ll see that thou are escorted safely to your ship.”
”That’s not necessary. We can make it on our own.” Rodimus said, but the centaur didn’t give in. ”I insist. Accept it as my humblest apology to my earlier rudeness.”
How could they say no? So the mechs became the centre of organics’ attention once again as they made their way through the city. Megatron had a weird feeling about this whole thing. Then he heard Whirl whisper on the background.
”I bet 50 shanx that I get laid before any of you sparklings do.”
Megatron didn’t know that should he should groan at that or to that Drift actually took that bet.
