#This ending is the

[tracklessreason]

Hellooo there!

I was just wondering, is there possibly a happy ending where Hive manages to take back his identity (or maybe forge himself a new one, since bumblebee is gone) without getting rid of the primes? Like, does he ever manage to get them under control and learn to use his ability as an extension of himself rather than a replacement of himself? I'm sure it would be a rough journey, but what I'm imagining is after a few thousand years, and he's now this wise, respected figure like Optimus was, with his own identity as a prime rather than just being known as the mouthpiece for the others.

Just asking, because I think that Hive Prime as a concept has the potential to be such a badass character (largest of all primes, speaks in a hundred voices, can communicate with all past primes, etc)... if he wasn't so tragic and actually went to therapy 😭

YES FINALLY!!!

YOU HAVE DISCOVERED ENDING 1 OF 3!!

THE CANON ENDING!!!!

The intended route for this AU has always been Hive taking control of his life!

This post talks about it in an almost fanfic style, but basically, after waking up from stasis, Hive is fully done with the other Prime's bullshit, and refuses to be just their voice anymore. The entire time he was in stasis, he was arguing with them, fighting for control over his own body, and that's something I plan to discuss more in a different post.

When Hive wakes, he crafts the audio database of the voices of every autobot, layers it to make a new voice of his own, and gathers the autobots to give a speech, which goes like this...

"Autobots. You once knew me as Bumblebee. We fought as brothers, under my late friend and mentor, Optimus Prime, from whom the Matrix of Leadership was bestowed upon me. His death has cast a shadow over us all, and in the darkness, I fear I lost my way.

I had always known myself as a follower, a hand to be guided by our leader's wisdom. Without him...I thought I was nothing. I had no faith in myself as your leader, and in turn you had no faith in me. I can blame none but myself for how our need for guidance has mislead us. The Matrix decided the word of all Primes should guide us into this new era, but only now do I understand that that means me as well. I won't live in the shadow of my predecessors any longer. Not Prima, not Quintus...and not Optimus.

The past is no more, and the future lies before us, a future to which I will proudly lead the way. No longer will I be the Mouthpiece of the Primes.

My name is Hive Prime, and I...

am the Voice of the Autobots!

shoutout to the guy who after unsuccessfully hitting on my sister and being politely declined asked her "is it okay if i ask your brother instead" and when she said yes gave me a long and searching look before sighing and going "no. i am not drunk enough to go for a dude. but you look like an angel" happy bisexual pride to this man and this man only. hope you figure it out soon king

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"
