'Why can't I be happy now....? I'm who I was always supposed to be..'

FTM starscream!

Here's my first entry into the Starscream week day 1! origin/ past. @starscreamweek

Here’s a bit of an info dump about Starscream’s origins in my AU, Transformers Oblivion:

Starchaser, now known as Starscream, was originally female. She was abandoned by her mother, like many others, and sent away to the slums of Cybertron. Abandoned sparklings usually end up being trafficked, used for target practice for the many gangs that have formed, or were forced into the Arena. The Arena is the largest, most brutal gladiator pit in the entire planet, and the sparklings lucky enough to survive just to be sent there, are trained to fight and kill. While the Arena is a place of fighting, many gambles are placed per match, to see who will live to fight again and climb the ranks. Starchaser and Arcee were both lucky enough to make it. Arcee excelled, being the youngest, and most violent fighter there, exhibiting cannibalistic qualities and actions. Starchaser is highly intelligent, using the environment around her to her advantage. Starchaser always felt off, it could've been the prejudice she received due to her optic color and sex when forged, or it could be that she was never satisfied when looking in her reflection.

Starchaser always wanted to protect Arcee, since that’s what Arcee does for her all the time. Even though Starchaser is bigger than her, she’d never be able to match her strength. One day, while both of them just turned 18 cycles old and both had won their matches, the duo meet an older Cybertronian male going by the name Megatron. He is one of the top patrons of the Arena and a reigning champion of the pit, in addition, he is one of Arcee’s biggest idols since she saw him fight. He offers them both a deal that neither can reject. He offers Arcee to train by him, to become one of his apprentices alongside a male a little older than the girls named Tarn. Megatron offers Starchaser with two opportunities. The first is that Starchaser is able to get an education if she accepts being enlisted in the future army Megatron is forming. The second is that he’s able to give her a body she finally will feel comfortable in, the body her spark was meant to reside in. Both accept, and in this comic, the last frame is the girl’s celebration for Starchaser once finding out about the University accepting her application. 

Starchaser studies to become a scientist, Arcee trains alongside Megatron. Both still keep in touch frequently, hanging out and goofing off whenever they get the chance. This goes on for at least seven cycles until the war finally broke out and everything went to ruin. Starchaser and Arcee were both brought into the base of the newly formed and strengthened Decepticon faction. Work was done to both of their bodies. Arcee got a more feminine frame, looking cuter to throw off opponents and Starchaser finally got the body she desired, a male, strong frame While operating on the two, Shockwave wiped both their memory banks. Arcee was wiped completely, her body only remembering her training and maneuvers, while Starchaser’s memory had gaps in it, where he couldn’t remember what his beloved, childhood ally looked like, but he knew he loved her dearly. The gaps in his memory, and the knowledge that Megatron had something to do with it, led Starscream to form an intense hatred against him. The reason Starscream wishes to become leader is to spare his fellow soldiers from their fates as he knows they were most likely wiped as well, and to regain his own memories when accessing all the files Shockwave and Soundwave have saved, hoping to find his own. 

In the comic above, Starscream breaks down not just by the reminder of not being himself when with who he loves, but by the fact that they both try to kill each other daily.

Charbee Prompts Part 9

(inspired by a Barn Husbands Earthspark post by @sonderblade)

Charlie drives to Witwicky when she sees the beam that shut down all the cybertronians temporarily. She assumes that’s where Bee, her old best friend went. So she roommates with Tess Yeager, who’s attending Indiana Pennsylvania College, and takes up an automechanic job to investigate.

She stays for a couple months but is stuck with nothing since everyone in town is oddly secretive about Transformers and she's always prevented from reaching the rural areas by some accident or bad luck (or is it??"

After months of no luck or sign of any Autobot, she ends up meeting Twitch. Twitch was severely damaged while trying to train by herself and out of desperation to maintain her pride, she went to Charlie's autoshop as she was closing. Charlie was disappointed when Twitch states that she's not an Autobot but an Earth-born Transformer (plus Twitch refuses to expose any of the identities of her family and friends) but helps regardless. She’s not allowed to go out by herself so Charlie decides to be her personal medic when she gets hurt to drive off suspicion about her secret training sessions.

One day, Charlie decides to give up the search for Bee when her mom calls that she misses her. She goes to pack but Twitch comes crying to her because she got into an argument with her family. Tess catches Charlie comforting the sobbing Transformer and promises to keep her a secret and, ever the rebellious young adult, offers to drive her far away from Witwicky, taking a road trip to Texas to stay at Cade’s farmhouse for a while. Cade often drives to Witwicky to sell some of his inventions to an online buyer by the name of D.E Malto. He's quick to take Twitch in as a single father and a fan of the Transformers, especially Optimus which Tess teases that he has a celebrity crush on him.

Twitch finds Cade's father's presence comforting and talks about her stresses and learns that there’s a chance she might be the next prime. Charlie says that she needs to learn to appreciate her childhood and talk to her elders. Twitch is ready to go home but asks Charlie to come with her for support. Cade drives Charlie and follows Twitch.

They arrive at the farm and while Cade is parked from afar, Charlie and Tess walks with Twitch, who trusts the humans enough to introduce them to her family. The Maltos were all worried for Twitch since she was missing for five days with her location turned off, instantly hugging and crying when Twitch arrives and apologizing. Twitch introduces her family to the girls, assuring that they are nice and kept her safe. Alex and Dot are thankful that the girls kept their daughter safe and embraces them as family as well.

Charlie is happy that they know each other but her mood instantly shifts when Optimus, Elita and Megatron arrive, relieved and apologizing to Twitch. Charlie is in shock that Twitch is being trained by the Autobot. Twitch is afraid that Charlie would have a changed opinion on her.

"Charlie? Is something wrong? I promise I didn't lie to you. I really am not an Autobot. Are you mad?" "No, of course not. I just-" "Is that Twitch?! Oh thank Primus. You really scared us... Charlie?"

Bee arrives at the sound of Twitch's voice and is frozen when he sees Charlie standing next to her.

The two don't say anything but just stare. Everyone around them are confused and concerned, especially Twitch, until Bee breaks the silence.

"It's you. You're here and alive! I can't-" "B-127! WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING! MAKING A CHILD A PRIME?? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND??"

Everyone is left shocked as a complete stranger scolds a 16-foot Autobot like he's a guilty husband who left the toilet seat up again. Bee tries to calm her down by crouching to her level but Charlie storms towards him and slaps him in the face, scolding him about putting pressure on young kids. (at this point, everyone is slowly backing away, afraid of witnessing a murder while Alex watches the one-sided argument with terrified recognition in his eye. "Godspeed Bee.")

The Maltobots are all concerned and asks what's going on since they never seen Bee being scolded like this before, not even from Optimus. "YOU FAKE YOUR DEATH AND THIS IS WHAT I HEAR?? YOU TRAINING A CHILD- A CHILD! TO BECOME A SOLDIER! I FIXED YOUR VOICE BOX WHEN IT GOT RIPPED OUT OF YOUR WHEN YOU WERE A FEW CENTURIES OLD! YOU HYPOCRITE!" At those words, Optimus, Elite and Megatron to recognize her as Charlie Watson, Bee’s first human friend and savior when he crashed onto Earth after holding back the Decepticons.

Charlie finally stops yelling when she sees that Bee hasn't said anything since she slapped him. "What?? Say something, you-" Bee just stares at her lovingly, mumbling, “You’re as beautiful as the day I left.”

Everyone on the farm freezes, shocked by Bee's words except for the Autobots. The Maltos and Tess on the other hand are appalled. "THEY KNOW EACH OTHER??" "Go get it girl! Dad is gonna flip!" Bee has a girlfriend?" "And she's human!" "Are they dating or married or-" "I never heard of Bumblebee having a partner or losing his voice box in any of the history books." "Well there's no true info on what happened after he held back the Decepticons." "I have so many questions." "Bee is going to have to explain this." But Bee doesn't care. It's only him and her, the girl who held his spark with the same hands that brought him back to life.

Charlie is frozen at the declaration, scanning the familiar lovesick face on Bee's faceplate staring at her like she hung the stars. Suddenly the two are in 1984, hours before the Autobots and the military arrive at her doorstep to take him away from her to fight in a never-ending war. Charlie is a depressed 18-year-old slow dancing to the 80's music playing in Bee's new radio, back when he was a small yellow beetle she bought at her uncle's junkyard. Both not saying word as they soak in the giddiness of the other reciprocating their feelings.

Back in the present, Charlie (now in her mid-50s) smiles out of exasperation, "You can't just say sh- stuff like that and get away with it. Absolute idiot." The two laugh and Charlie pulls him by the faceplate into a kiss. Everyone was rampaged.

After the loud clambering of questions and a quick minute of calming everyone down (plus the kids groaning at seeing two adults, including their mentor/uncle-figure, kiss), the couple is given a chance to explain.

Charlie has housing him for the past few years during his “death”. Charlie explains that she saw the beacon and knew it was Bumblebee so she has been staying with Tess, who weakly says hello and is outraged that Charlie had the ability to bagged such a handsome Transformer. Charlie and Tess explain and apologize to taking Twitch away on a trip. Alex and Dot are oddly forgiving since they suspect that Charlie is the reason for Twitch's sudden upbeat attitude.

Cade then arrives, asking what's taking Tess and Charlie so long since Charlie is going to miss her flight home. Tess and Charlie try to stop him before he sees the Transformers but Cade sees them anyways, absolutely stunned that Twitch knows the Autobots. Twitch explains that they went to Cade's barn at Texas for the trip and that he was very comforting when she needed it. The Maltos welcome him with open arms. Twitch goes to introduce Cade to everyone, including Bee, who is thankful for keeping his trainee and sparkmate safe, and Nightshade, who is revealed to be the secret buyer. Twitch goes to introduce him to the older Autobots but it turns out that Megatron, Elita and Optimus already knows him.

Seeing how flustered Optimus is and how softspoken Cade is, the Maltos scheme to have the three new humans stay for dinner but Charlie declines since she plans on going home but Bee and Twitch convince her to stay. Tess allows Charlie to stay as roommates as long as she wants. Charlie says yes which Bee happily cheers and grabs her to show her around the farm with the Maltobots excitedly following behind.

Tess then asks Optimus if he could show him around, Megatron and Elita playing along and encouraging the idea. Optimus tries to say no, afraid of imposing in Cade's time. "You're not imposing anything, don't worry. I would like to know the kind of stuff my inventions are being used for and... get to know you too." "Really?" "Yeah, you're really cool guy but that's all history books and news. I'd like to know you. The real Optimus." "Oh... I'd...like to get to know you too." "Smooth." "ELITA!" "I knew you liked humans but I didn't think it would be this much." "Megatron, I will cut you." "Have fun you crazy kids." "But not too much!" "ALEX! DOT! YOU TOO??"

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love 💕

Thank you so much anon! Unfortunately, I don't have five fics to share, because I've only written and published two ^^" But here they are:

Compromised (BG3, rated T, 331 words) - Taroe approaches Lae'zel to have a difficult but necessary conversation, only to find out that she already knows what they're about to say. A little missing scene, born out of my absolute bafflement that the game doesn't address the player's infidelity with the Emperor in any meaningful way. Available also as a podfic, read by me.

Linger Till Dawn (BG3, rated T, 10,991 words) - Takes place soon after the main events of the game. The Emperor has a nightmare, so Taroe enters its mind to investigate. As they travel through the dreamscape, they meet a variety of characters from the Emperor's memories, and finally find answers to some lingering questions about its past, its recent strange behaviour, and the future of their relationship. If you've seen any vague posts on my blog about a writing project I've been agonising over in the last few months, this is it. I'm still amazed that I actually managed to finish it, just in time for the Emperor Week. And there's a podfic too! Because of course there is.

Since I only have two stories of my own, I'll fill out the remaining spots with my podfics of fics by other authors, if that's okay! I'd specifically like to shout out some rarepair fics that I think are great and deserve more love.

Tentacles and Textiles by tentacles_and_textiles (BG3, rated E, total audio length: 00:33:46) - Yes, I'm already cheating by picking a series of two fics, but they're both great and I can't pick one over the other. The series explores the relationship between the Emperor and Duke Belynne Stelmane before the events of the game. Be sure to mind the warnings and tags!

Room and Pillar by HenriettaDarlington (Transformers IDW1, rated M, 00:30:35) - Rumble reflects on his relationship with Megatron and tries to figure out where things went wrong. The story is told in reverse chronological order, starting at the lowest point of the relationship and going further and further back, all the way to their first meeting. It's delightfully bittersweet, and it's still the only Megatron/Rumble fic on ao3. Again, mind the warning and tags!

Food Porn by MsBarrows (Dragon Age, rated T, 00:27:01) - Jowan finds himself a stowaway on Isabela's ship. She takes pity on him, and they develop a close bond as she nurses him back to health and then puts him to work with her crew. The "food porn" isn't really the title, but rather a prompt the fic was written for, and it fills that prompt perfectly with all the mouth-watering descriptions of food in it. Overall a surprisingly plausible take on a relationship between those two characters.

very cute how many people are calling Tailgate “slugger” now

SKIDS AND SWERVE ARE SO SWEET... I'm just soaking up as much time with Skids as I can, either this issue or the next one is the one where he dies and I know it's gonna hurt all over again

it's also sweet that Drift suggested everyone record a final message. It's funny in a very bittersweet way how he's actually pretty emotionally intelligent, he just never applies any of that to himself

aww, Nautica's improptu amica ritual... she loves them and wants them to know, to make it official........

“Yeah. Later, eyebrows.” bites my knUCKLE SO HARD IT BLEEDS

god the tension in the scene where Chromedome and Rewind separately but simultaneously find out exactly where Dominus went is killing me lmAO good on Drift for calling Rewind anyway. Good on Rewind for giving Rodimus a good punch too, it's been a long time coming

god. Rewind having to make the choice between losing Dominus for good or losing Chromedome... so fuckign good. It was so good to see all the “Rewind is a bad husband who cares more about Dominus than Chromedome” talk just fuckin hard stop after this issue came out lmAO Issue 44 spelled it out with words but people straight up didn't read those so this one made it crystal motherfucking clear and I am still so grateful

fdsjkghfjk goooOOODDDD, THE FUCKIN PARALLELS TO ISSUE 15... The use of one of Drift's swords, Rewind making a life or death choice, Chromedome losing the same fucking arm, the panel of Chromedome curled up on the ground in the exact same way but Rewind is with him this time, fuckgfhjsdks this arc fuckign rules it's so gOOD

love this conversation between Cyclonus and Whirl too, love that Whirl just comes right the fuck out and says it, “Hey are you dating that guy you like yet? Did you talk about the trauma? Like, actually talk??? Bitch???????? Tell me about your gayass feelings, I am going to force you to say it out loud” he's RIGHT and he should SAY IT!!!!!!!!

“I suppose I'm afraid.” “Good! Me too! You think anyone here isn't scared?” TELL HIIIIMMMMMM

“You're a good captain, Rodimus. The better captain...” CORRECT. ALSO GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE AND FIGHT

“Thanks for traveling with me” *salutes* anythign for you........

MTMTE 54

“I'm sorry, Rewind- I can't deal with that right now.” ehuehuehuehuehue I know that reference

Overlord's petty bullshit is significantly less entertaining when he's doing it at Chromedome, you keep Rewind's name out of your slutty, slutty mouth

“I thought someone I love had died.” punCHES THE ARM OF MY CHAIR REPEATEDLY

“Is it getting hot in here?” GNAWS MY ENTIRE HAND OFF

yeah nope just Skids remembering Grindcore has started the waterworks, it still hurts just as much lmAOgfhjdsk

jhdfkjsthank you Tailgate for making me laugh, hell yeah, punch that dude's head off

that panel of Roddy breathing fire is still so hot lmAO

I do love the confirmation that Megatron's change of heart was all Megatron, the “fool's energon” may have made him think he was being drugged, but it was never the case, it was all in Megatron's head and that is very much the point

Oh, Skids... Ohh, Skids........

oh you fuckin slimy bitch, I forgot that Tarn orders Deathsaurus to throw all his men at Megatron while secretly having his own guys fall back

I do find it kinda funny that after so long of wanting Megatron to stop fighting and killing people, the comic now makes us want very much for Megatron specifically to Kill These Fucking Guys So Hard Please

oughdfjk Nautica holding Skids's body...

MTMTE 55

man it's so fucked that the crew saving some organics came back to bite them in the ass, they were just trying to do good...

ooh I forgot that they used the distress signal on Deathsaurus. Well, more like they used it in general and Deathsaurus was particularly vulnerable to it

still fuckin LOVE Nickel abandoning Tarn, I gather up all the canon instances of Tarn being a cringefail loser and I roll around in them like a pig in mud

I TAKE ALL THESE PANELS OF MEGATRON KILLING THE DJD ONE BY ONE AND I SNORT THEM LIKE CRACKED COCAINE

“Everything you did was for nothing.” MOANS AGGRESSIVELY

sorry okay I'm normal now, love Rodimus going out of his way to rescue Megatron lmAO this was another thing I saw people complain about, they should've just left him, he killed the DJD so he had his big moment and now he can die for his crimes, but nah, that ain't what it's about. It's about Roddy being a good person, that's all there is to it, he could save him so he did

Megatron is going through it. I'm trying to remember the nuances of this moment because just taking it at face value, it looks like Ravage used his last words to beg Megatron to stay a Decepticon and then Megatron proceeded to immediately throw the Decepticon badge/mask away the instant he saw Terminus but I'm trying to remember if that was the case or if Ravage was saying “don't go back to being a Decepticon,” OR if he was even talking about factions at all and he meant for Megatron to never doubt himself so much again and the badges are merely symbolic

still sucks that Censere took Nightbeat's advice and started saving people instead of just cataloging them and it got him killed so fuckin fast

oh shit that's right, the fuckin Galactic Council threw a geobomb at the Necro planet ghjdfks well rip I guess, hell of a way to end this arc

god. This arc really was just a constant stream of dubs for me personally lmAO so many bad faith theories and takes were debunked, like Rewind valuing Dominus over Chromedome, the fandom's poor understanding of Tarn was fucking obliterated, I got my boys Drift and Ratchet back, it was great lmAO It was especially great because like I said waaaaaaaay way back in the preface for this whole retrospective, this fandom made me feel like a complete fucking idiot for having faith in this comic and this arc not only affirming all of my theories and feelings (except for Tarn being Roller) but explicitly debunking a lot of takes and theories I thought were bad was pure fucking magic lmAO it made me start to realize that I'm NOT an idiot, actually, my reading comprehension is good, better than all these people who are so rude and aggressive about asserting their opinions, and this is a good fucking comic that I was right to have faith in. THAT'S why the Dying of the Light is my favorite arc

The Beauty and the Predacon

Chapter 3

~~~~~~~~~~

When the door opens to reveal the Predacon, Arcee is shocked. For two reasons, the fact that it actually got out of the icy land that Ultra Magnus sent it to and the size of the creature. She saw it on the monitor when it was chasing Magnus' ship and when it appeared on the front of the ship, and she knew it was big but not this big. Not only the size but its armor looks impenetrable, she's not sure how the Autobots are going to be able to take down such a creature. It certainly does give Megatron an advantage in the war.

"How did it find us?" Starscream asks as he looks toward Shockwave.

"Predacons have precise homing instincts."

"And astonishing resilience," Megatron adds looking slightly amused. He turns to Starscream, "Starscream, assume command of my beast."

"Me, master? I-I mean I wouldn't dream of ceasing such an honor from its creator."

"Military command of the Predacon is most logical since my services are required elsewhere," Shockwave says as he walks past him. As he heads inside he sees Arcee standing there trying to keep a distance between her and the Predacon and he gets an idea. "My liege, perhaps the femme can assist Starscream in looking after the Predacon, and maybe stay with the Predacon until further notice."

Megatron stops walking, turns to look at him, and then looks at Arcee, whose optics had gone wide at hearing what Shockwave said. "The beast would make a great guard. Yes, she shall stay with the beast until I decide who she will mate with."

With a huff, Arcee went over to where Starscream was standing, along with the Predacon, as Megatron, Shockwave, and the Vehicons went inside the ship. The door closes and Starscream is at the door trying to get Megatron to reconsider. Arcee just rolls her optics as she still tries to keep a distance from the beast.

The Predacon moves in closer to Starscream with a growl and a slight roar causing Starscream to turn around and look at it with fear. But after a second the Predacon turns its attention to Arcee, trying to figure out who she is since it never saw her before. Arcee was forced to back up into a wall as the Predacon got closer to her and sniffed her as he looked her over. He could smell the scent of the two Autobots he fought against on her and started growling, especially the one 'Bot whose scent he had to sniff to track down.

He doesn't know much about the Autobots except that they're supposedly the enemy that he must destroy, but after his encounter with them, he doesn't like them. Obviously, this femme is one of them which means she must be destroyed. "Wait! Wait!" Starscream shouts getting the Predacon's attention, "You can't kill her. As much as I would love to see you tear her to shreds, Lord Megatron wants her alive."

The Predacon turned back to Arcee and roared in her face then turned and walked to the outer part of the ship, whipping his tail towards Starscream on the way. Starscream ducked out of the way causing its tail to scrape against the door. 

Arcee released an air cycle in relief as she watched the Predacon walk away. That was close. I need to find a way off this ship more than ever before I end up becoming a chew toy for that thing.

"You owe me."

Arcee looks over at Starscream, "What?"

"You owe me for keeping that thing from killing you."

"You only did it because Megatron wants me alive and you don't want him to beat your aft for allowing it to kill me. So, I don't owe you anything."

"Ungrateful glitch," Starscream mumbles as he walks off.

Arcee just ignores his remark as she watches him walk over to the Predacon to try and get it into the kennel. Arcee couldn't help but laugh as the beast kept refusing and acting like it couldn't hear him. When Starscream got an electrical rod she knew this wasn't gonna end well. She watches as Starscream tells it once again to get into the kennel and it just moves its head to the side to say no, so Starscream stabs it with the rod. 

"Starscream, don't be so brutal with it!"

Starscream glances over to her but before he can say anything he notices the Predacon turning its head to look at him and it has a fireball built up to fire at him. Starscream sees it and ducks in time but the tip of the metal piece sticking up from his helm caught fire. Starscream glared at the Predacon before turning his glare to Arcee, then he noticed the tip burning and he put it out before returning his glare to Arcee. "You almost got me killed!"

"Exactly how did I almost get you killed!?" Arcee asks as she pushes herself off the wall and takes a couple of steps.

"By talking and distracting me!"

"You almost got yourself killed because you had to strike it with an electrical rod! Don't blame me if it turns around and chomps your head off!"

Starscream started fumbling over his words for a bit, not being able to find the right thing to say, "It's a Predacon, just an animal and it needs to learn its place on this ship! As well as you do!"

"If that's the way you see it then apparently you consider everyone an animal as you treat everyone the same way! Just because it's an animal doesn't mean you need to treat it with such brutality!"

"You're gonna tell me not to treat it with brutality after it just tried to kill you?"

Arcee goes silent for a second as she glances over to the Predacon who is just sitting there watching the two argue. It was looking at her with hatred and a desire to kill, but not as much as it was moments ago. Arcee looks back at Starscream, "Even though it did try to kill me, and still wants to kill me, I still think it doesn't deserve to be treated like that! No creature deserves to be treated that way!" Starscream grumbled as he headed for the door, walking past Arcee. "Where are you going?" Arcee asks as she gives him a questioning look.

"To find something that will help me get control of the beast and keep me alive," Starscream replied as he walked through the door.

The door closed and Arcee was left alone with the Predacon. When she hears the Predacon moving she looks and sees it walking towards her position. She moves back into a corner by the door and watches it as it moves more inwards. I guess this is it, it's gonna kill me now that we're alone. Unless it will actually heed Megatron's words of keeping me alive.

To Arcee's surprise, the Predacon stops a few feet away from her and looks at her. It hisses and slightly growls at her before it lays down. Arcee slides down the wall and sits, still watching the Predacon. She knows she's no match for the beast and she knows it could tear her apart with ease, but she for sure won't go down without a fight. If the beast attacks her she will fight until she can't anymore.

The Predacon lays its head down as it continues watching her, making sure she doesn't try anything. But it doesn't take long for the exhaustion of the previous events to take effect and it closes its optics and falls into stasis. But Arcee stays awake since she's not tired, and she plots out her escape.

I'm curious, what is Earthspark like in the Cybermorph-verse?

Also this goes against the original canon, but I'm just imagining Twitch as a runt who remains small but ends up as one of Megatron's favourites. Just nestled between his dorsal spines, safe and happy.

So, I don't have anything concrete decided on for the cybermorphs in earthspark, but I do have some fun backstory for Dot and Megatron! I'll just transcribe it here, under the cut if you're interested ^-^

We were talking about, somehow, cybermorph Megatron and Dorothy being friends, like in earthspark. I decided to take this hypothetical and run with it. We don't know exactly how they came together in canon, but general speculation is that she did something that earned his respect. And she clearly doesn't like Optimus all that much--they're civil, but there's no warm feelings there, yk?

So my thoughts immediately went to Dot standing up to the bots and calling them out when they're doing something whack.

Something on earth triggers Megatron to produce a small clutch of eggs. He's not planning them, they just happen. Maybe the recovery of the Allspark, the exposure to such potent life energy kickstarts his reproductive system again. Maybe uses some stored old genetic code from previous sires, maybe they're just drones, but regardless he can feel their sparks connecting to his. There's a very, very prolonged battle, the type where everyone is on the field for days at a time. Think trenches, underground compounds, anything and everything. Maybe he doesn't even realize he's carrying them: his egg-laying protocols have been disabled for millions of years, and they fit in so seamlessly in the hivemind he doesn't realize they're coming until they're coming.

He suddenly pulls back from the battlefield with no warning, shouting for Soundwave to take over, and he runs off to find somewhere dark and safe. Maybe the contractions make it so he can't change form and easily return to the hive. Ends up in one of those old cave systems or something, idk it's not important. Delivers a small clutch, probably only 4 or 5 cuz it's been so long since he's gotten any action and doesn't have a lot of extra code to fertilize them. Realizes oh slag, these aren't drone eggs. These are actual fully fertilized sparklings that are going to need hosts and will probably have to be shipped off planet immediately.

The first children he's beared in millions of years, they're indescribably precious. He has no idea who sired them, but that can come later

My idea comes from Dot along with maybe a couple autobot escorts, tracking him there. After all, he's probably doing some big bad evil decepticon shit, right?

Wrong.

Dot watches as, without even a moments' hesitation, one of the bots shoots squarely at one of the eggs. It explodes in spectacular fashion, delicate embryo slaughtered and tiny spark extinguished in less than a second.

Megatron screams, a truly primal cybermorph queen screech, and promptly transforms. Knocks the responsible party back, throwing them into the wall with such force their chassis cracks, but he's so focused on that one that the other party manages to bring their pede down on another with tremendous force and stomps the egg flat, splattering it and killing the unborn morphling.

The queen bellows, furious and devestated all at once, and when he pounces on the other Dot is nearly crushed underfoot. She stumbles back and her back hits something slimy and springy, like a thick, malleable rubber. She peels herself off and turns around, and comes face to face with one of his fresh eggs. They're so early, only minutes from emergence, thst their shells are still a bit see-through. It takes her a moment to make out what she's looking at, but when she does, her suspicious squint slackens and her eyes widen. She knows this thing very well. Tiny, too-big head and little dark spots where eyes should be, nubby body shaped like a bean with no arms or legs.

She's seen this kind of image many times. On ultrasounds of her little brother and in her cousin's parenting books and on posters at the doctor's office.

An embryo.

A fetus.

These are his babies!

"NOOO! " she throws herself in front of a nearby egg, arms out wide as if she could somehow block the shot one bot is priming.

"What are you doin', squishy?!" He barks at her. "Move!"

"No! These are chi-"

"Monsters, Dorothy! They're monsters!"

They swing their gun the other way as if to shoot another, and she dives in front of it again. Megatron is busy pounding the other into the ground, trying to get himself back the nest that they've successfully cut him off from. There's only 3 left, he has to save them!

"Scrap this!" The bot bats her aside--not enough to injure her, just enough to get her out of the way with the barrel of their blaster, still struggling to pill himself up after hitting the wall hard enough to rattle his internals. One of his legs is limp and useless, that's the only thing stopping him. Dot manages to land on her feet, skidding back, ribs aching from the impact.

The blaster powers up one more time, and the distinctive thrum is enough to distract Megatron from where his secondary jaw has punctured his opponent's spark chamber, ripping it out and shredding it with his serrated fangs. He throws the body down and is immediately snarling as he leaps at the other mecha, but it's too late.

Blood flies everywhere and Dorothy s c r e a m s, collapsing to the ground with half of her leg gone. She lands in a puddle of sticky, hot fluid: the egg behind her that she had tried to shield has unfortunately been punctured and is leaking all over the cave floor. Her ears start ringing, she's losing blood so fast and her vision blurs when she tries to look at her leg--she can see bone and muscles and tendons exposed to open air, and she doesn't even notice Megatron'a cybermorph queen warcry as he rips off the other mech's head.

In the aftermatch, once they're dead, he turns his attention to his babies. Only two remain, two eggs miraculously unbroken. The human that had tried to defend then, while valliant, was unsuccessful. The third one has drained out all over the floor and there's no breathing life back into them.

But still. He replays all the audio in his helm, and could hear her arguing with the other. He'd seen her scrambling back and forth, trying to block a shot to his eggs. She... she protected them, fearlessly, like a praetorian would. She put herself at the mercy of alien weapons so strong it could vaporize her entire body. She'd sacrificed a part of herself for them, and for that he's grateful.

Megatron always repays his debts. Especially after finding out that humans can't simply regenerate or replace limbs 🤭 when Megatron leaves, he takes her with. Gently cradling his eggs in one hand, picking her up in the other. She's still bleeding profusely so he licks over the wound with his glossa, thick oily solvent congregating on the wound and stopping the blood flow. He leaves with his cargo, and when the bots find the site later, 2 of their comrades are dead and there's a crazy amount of human blood on the floor. Naturally, she's assumed dead, but is actually at the bottom of the sea in the depths of the Nemesis, engineers and medical hard at work giving her her mobility back as thanks for protecting their unhatched siblings.

[transingthoseformers]

Tarn definitely still has his tank kibble but he's got his OG colors back and his face is mended if scared. Thinking maybe a bronze or coper colored patch though because the material adhered better.(pretty color combination)

The Maltos recognize the Deceptacon badge but Damus is chill, and not acting hostile or threatening to them. His main concern was for Nickel. Mostly he was asking questions that boil down to him ascertaining the sparklings were in a safe home situation. To his minor surprise the answer was yes.

Damus knows Megatron's going to flip and try to find him it's why he gave the young ones his name. Damus wants to talk with Megatron and he's hiding out because he can't blend. Let Megatron find him. They can have out whatever they will have far from the younglings.

What's alarming Bee and Dot more than Damus initially is what happened to Prion. There is a little medic with big PTSD out there that needs help. Also this is intel about the wider universe boss-bot needs. Dot is torn between personally insulted and approving on general principle that Damus wanted to afirm her babies were safe. Alex is tentatively optimistic about the devlopemt.

Megatron is so suprised by Damus' description. No mask, no purple except for his badge, blue optics and biolights. He's describing Tarn and the fusion cannon is at home and the kids are well he was a tank but none of the rest is right. Plus he didn't transform at all just carried Nickel in his arms. Megatron is confused as well as panicking.

I had the stupid thought that in this AU! Pharma snaped and blew up Mestasanine by detanating all the Nucleon instead of the red rust virus and by chance Tarn and Nickel were off planet while the rest stayed behind. Maybe they were grounded or had temporarily "lost recreational activity privileges."

Yessss such a pretty color combo!!!

Awww yep yep, Damus cares🥰

Makes sense he's waiting for Meggsie to look for him rather than the opposite, there's a conversation between those two that needs to happen and Damus doesn't want it to be a surprise (in case it doesn't end well)

Makes sense that Dot and Bee are thinking that, especially considering Nickel's reaction and the information that the cybertronians outside of earth are definitely definitely not safe (and what if the black box consorta comes to earth??? They cannot have that.)

Sdgjjss yeah. She's proud of how she's raising the kids, and on one hand it's nice to know someone else is looking out for them too. But it also kinda stings that someone would be suspicious of her over it.

Megs is having so many big feeling about this, and what he knows of Tarn isn't matching up with what the kids are saying about Damus. Like, from what we can see, Megatron just is part of the Malto family in his own way. I feel like I'm entirely right on this. He has proven time and time again to be greatly protective of the kids, and part of him is afraid of what Damus could do to them. Confused and panicking indeed.

I can see WHY Pharma would make that decision in his scenario, it is a lot simpler than the Red Rust plan and he was rather desperate.

Hilarious then sad thought but Tarn had indeed lost planet privileges (that, or a factor of him being sick from something more mundane than the bleeding red plague) and Nickel was supervising, so they sent the others to do their usual deal which. Saying it went south is an understatement. I'm imagining that finding out what happened was an incredibly angsty moment, and I feel like it was another thing that made Damus reevaluate himself (after all, this was pretty much his fault because he pushed Pharma well past the breaking point for the sake of his dual addictions).

I can also see a situation where the Red Rust had progressed much faster than anticipated and the other members of the DJD caught it, after all wasn't Pharma's original plan for it to nail Tarn?? (After all it's centered around the T-cog. Not only does it prove deadly upon transforming, but it very probably makes the T-cog of the corpses entirely unusable. The Red Rust Plague very much was made with Tarn in mind.) And, I mean. There's no Ratchet and crew to have stopped it in canon (.... ... Unless, there was and it didn't work?? That would sure as hell explain why we don't see earthspark Ratchet in this au)

Crossover AU Theory: If Cat-Alastor (Hazbin Hotel) Met Cat-Steven (Steven Universe)

[Note: reading this Crossover Theory is Optional, but it is for Mature Audience Readers Only...also make sure you had watched all the episodes of Hazbin Hotel Season 1 first before reading this.]

yeah, I will get around to the whole part 2 of the theory about Blitzo being Adam's Half-Reincarnation after this and another weird post I want to post after this.

so for those who have watched Steven Universe (and have watched Steven Universe Future and understand a little bit or fully what Steven's been going through, but we can't make others watch that Steven Universe Future, if they want to watch all the episodes, they should only do so by their free will and own accord.)

some of you may know about the girl cat that Garnet ends up adopting (I'm still gonna fanon headcanon her from Sapphire component, is TFA-Prowl's Reincarnation...) and naming Cat-Steven.

Cat-Steven has one eye, and like what would happen if like in a Crossover AU type way, Cat-Alastor and Cat-Steven met...?

I still would love to see Cat-Alastor (full name Cursed Cat Alastor) freak everyone out when they do the demon dance, which involves the witch's cat pose and like side stepping at first before going faster and even bouncing a little.

you must appease them with fish...

*Chaz (Moxxie & Millie's Ex) is being held up in the air by Amethyst*

Pearl: AMETHYST, NO!

Amethyst: what...? they said that Cat-Alastor must be appeased with fish, so I'm gonna throw this Tuna-Himbo Dork to them.

if Emily and Amethyst fused, would they be called Emilethyst or Amelie...?

would their fusion be platonic or romantic...?

Emily must be the embodiment of joy, while Charlie is the embodiment of hope.

so if those two ended up fusing with Amethyst, even if it is a platonic fusion...

wouldn't that make the fusion the embodiment of joy & hope...?

they would probably end up being way bigger than Sera, and possibly taller than TFA-Megatron and TFA-Blitzwing.

Emily/Amethyst/Charlie Fusion could be around almost as tall as Garnet/Pearl/Amethyst's fusion, coming up to the full gem fusion's shoulders.

anyway, in a Fanon Timeline where Cat-Alastor did meet Cat-Steven, anything could happen, maybe Cat-Alastor will somehow end up owning Cat-Steven's soul, which the deal may involve Cat-Alastor placing their cute little paws on Cat-Steven's forehead, and then sticking their tongue out and crossing their eyes, then there is a glow of green and the deed is done.

my cat, well my second cat, does tend to stick their tongue out for a very long minutes or seconds.....it is both funny and cute.

if the hotel isn't careful, Cat-Alastor will rule the hotel with a fluffy iron paw...all the fluffy babies will be on their team, picture Angel crying when it turns out Fat-Nuggets is one of them.

is it weird to think Cat-Alastor might end up liking Fluttershy, and knows to fear her when she gives the stare...?

would Cat-Alastor imprint someone as their "Mom", did they imprint on Alastor or Charlie, or maybe even Angel.

there is a funny thing I learned about cats, which sometimes my cat does to me, even though they aren't really a small kitten anymore.

it has to do with the reason why cats kneed on their owner's chest.

well it's either called kneed or something else, might have to look it up sometime.

if Keekee does that sometimes, like if she use to do that to Lucifer, but stop since she went with Charlie to try to redeem sinners.

she could of ended up doing it again after Lucifer ends up moving into the hotel.

I'm pretty sure after the fight with Adam and Lute, he had ended up moving into the newly build hotel.

Lucifer could wake up and find Keekee massaging his chest, which is what he views it and she keeps doing it.

either when he's sleeping and wakes up to it, or when he's sitting down talking with someone, and that someone ending up being Charlie half the time.

and half the time when this is going on, Husk could be holding in his laugh when watching the scene, because in his life when he still lived on Earth, he may have learned the meaning why cats do that.

and Lucifer not knowing makes it both funny and cute.

cause it basically means he would be viewed as "Mom" by Keekee.

not sure if Cat-Alastor would ended up becoming smitten like a kitten with Keekee, well if they did, it would probably end up being platonic.

also the whole romantic doesn't always have to be the same, some can be just when you hang out together, maybe watching a movie or show together or playing a video game together.

it doesn't always have to be all kissy or cuddles all the time, or the other thing that is "snu-snu"...

I think I'm starting to view myself as more of a Gray-Aroace, which is why sometime I want to make a flag for myself that expresses well the different romantic parts, and aromantic parts of myself.

like I think I am still technically a flux, and even though I'm glad I can't pick up a certain toxic-lust energy of a certain someone anymore when I'm awake, but of course it is thanks to my gem bracelets, but it doesn't mean I wont still be weak to that toxic-lust energy, which is why the dream-catchers are needed...because of those three close call dreams, and the only reason I had that second close call was because I didn't have a dream-catcher up, so I decided to have that dream-catcher I had took down (not talking about the one in a zip-lock bag with salt in the bag with it.) and decided to have it outside my door.

even prayed for a type of protective barrier...and of course the dream-catcher we got next, it seem good but then something weird was about it, and I could of just been fine if I was just having my normal weird dreaming, but then the third close call happen...

so I had to take that one down, put it in a zip-lock bag, even get some of the food salt and hold it in my hands and prayed then I put the salt in the bag as well......I keep that one as far away from me as possible.

I got a new dream-catcher now, for both in my room and for the door outside my room.

I think I would feel safer around Ozzie and Fizz, cause that bad toxic-lust energy, I did not consent to it...and I think the only reason why the barrier open up, was because of that bad dream-catcher.

dream-catchers are suppose to protect you when you sleep, and one of the reasons I wanted to sleep one, even if I may have once did sleep while having a dream-catcher when I was little but stop at some point...

but the reason why I had wanted to get a new dream-catcher, that first started with the one that is now protecting my room that is outside my door.

it has to do with my possibly dream-walking, that the toxic-lust energy from someone placed my dream-self in a trance and the only reason I snap out of it in time, was possibly because of the gem bracelets I was wearing to bed, to protect me while I sleep, even if I now use them for multi-purposes.

and some of you may already know the reason I started to wear gem bracelets to sleep in the first place, and it having to do with being scared awake by a Incubus, it was like being between awake and sleep, or like being aware....and well even if it was for a split minute or second, it was enough to scare me awake.

even if I didn't see them, but I'm pretty sure it was a Incubus...

is it normal for some Earth Angels who are also Humans, to be catnip to Incubus...?

well I'm going to make sure to keep sleeping with my gems to protect me, not just from those like Incubus but also from humans as well.

and some percent of humans are too "in heat" even more reason for me to keep wearing my gems and only take them off only once in a while or when it's necessary...

at least Alastor never has to deal with that, so he's lucky.

anyway if Cat-Steven and Cat-Alastor ended up forming a bond,

it could be interesting if Alastor ended up finding Steven who is dying but he is also having his age fluctuating until it stops when he was a baby, and one of his tears saves him, but he ends up aging much slower than he did when he was still on Earth.

so Alastor ends up adopting Steven, who has a gem on the place where his belly button should be, Steven may have not really died, but he could of been very close to it, that is why his gem ended up causing him to age back into a baby, and even saved him by having him cry and become pink.

Steven as a Baby, might still have his powers, all but fusion, the fusion may only happen much later when he becomes much older.

but picture Baby Steven placing Vox in a very big pink bubble. XD

not sure if I can think of anything else about how Cat-Alastor and Cat-Steven would act to each other if they did meet.

I think Cat-Alastor would pick Baby Steven up by the back of the neck of their clothes and run off, while everyone gives chase.

and all this is happening, Baby Steven is laughing like it's all a game.

also it could be possible that Cat-Alastor and Cat-Steven wouldn't get along at first, until they bond over a shared interest....

ruling over the ones who walk on two legs...XD

I'm weird for thinking about that, but come on...you know how half the time cats sees us as someone who serves them, and at times they can be too cute to say no to. :)

⭐ we balling

Very quick disclaimer : i sorta don't know fuck shit about rescue bots, but i am very much willing to roll with whatever the fuck !! also I can do research if it comes down to it, promise.

STARSCREAM.

Obviously. I'll throw Starscream at any transformers muse. From what I remember about your posts, I think you mentioned that he used to do gladiator stuff at the same time as Megatron, so I think Starscream would definitely at least vaguely remember that, considering she had a very vested interest whenever that was happening. Mostly in Megatron and his ideals rather than just the fighting, but y'know, they went hand in hand at the time. Aside from that, I also think in the show you might've mentioned they don't know as much about the war and they've been stationed on Earth specifically away from it, so she'd love shattering his worldview if that's the case. Also he's an Autobot so they'd have beef on principle, even if we have it in a verse where she technically isn't a Con anymore. She definitely still falls in line with the beliefs and such, and she's bully him like hell.

SONIC.

Again, I think Sonic interacting with any transformer character is fun because bigass robot and 3'3 robot crusher supreme. Although obviously, I think he'd chill out the moment he finds out they aren't with Eggman at all, and I think he'd be chill with Hightide. Which is really funny because uh. He can't swim and afraid of water. Which would be another fun thing to explore with those two.

NEON J pretend there's an icon here I don't have any for him ATM Cyborg.. used to be in the Navy and still heavily themes himself around that. Makes robots and shit. I think he would think Hightide is sick as hell.

And I don't have any concrete thoughts on the others, but TAILGATE, REWIND, and WHIRL are all valid options because. transformers as well. And I think WHEATLEY and MECHA would be fun too!

[vihattu-thethoroughbredofsin]

i just got into the show and came across a few of your posts (sorry that this is long). i'm surprised no one talked about this more but home part 1 and 2 made little sense for why the malto kids went to philly. robbie wanting to bring them to the place he grew up in made no sense when the terrans are suppose to be in hiding.

that and i thought he was over the whole "i wanna go back to our actual home" stuff back in part 1 of this season? me and my friends thought with hashtag being linked to the internet she was going to find evidence of bumblebee being in philly or something like that.

then there's the fact that they just decide to wander about without some kind of disguise. i mean i really thought nightshade was going to pull out some devices to give them human forms. they did work with tarantulas on his device to be human so i was expecting some pay off there.

but then the humans. THE HUMANS. why are they so chill with these terrans being there??? they should be freaking out and be scared of them! none of the terrans are wearing autobot symbols so these humans don't know that they're safe to be around!

the discrimination thing been talked about a bit (should be more agreeing with you guys honestly) but really...it should be in reverse. humans have been discriminated in transformers for so long that it's crazy that the one time we get a show tackling it...and it's favoring the aliens??? the same alien species that came up with 13 different ways (actually 14 but we won't count "terran" since its already used) and 11 of them are insults!

it boggles my mind how disconnected the episodes feel! like the things the characters go through don't get mention in some way (parasites in the bear episode...shockwave's lab...) like a semi-reset is happening. still going to watch part 3 with my friends when it comes though. the show's a blast despite some of the problems it has.

Hello! I'm sorry that I'm not responding so quickly (oh, these time zones). In fact, somewhere there was an opinion that the second part of the first season is a little more chaotic than the first. And, to be honest, it feels that way. This is the effect of a sitcom, when the consequences in one episode are reset in the next.

It cannot be said that this did not happen in the first part of the season. For example, the episode "Friends and Family", where they found a cave with water that Terrans feed on, and no one mentions it anymore. "Traditions" — Arachnamechs attack, where Alex identified the technology of his former colleague. No attention. "Decoy" — remind me, what is the whole mission of Ravage? But with all this, the ratio of other plots and these forgotten storylines was such that they were not in the main focus of the stories and there were few of them.

In the second season, there were noticeably more such lines.

"Hashtag: Oops" — okay, we'll forget that the GHOST had a massive Decepticon escape with possible victims thanks to Hashtag.

"Missed Connection" — that is, caring parents did not ask themselves how and at the expense of what resources Nightshade does all these things and builds a bunker? And no one in the family either? And where did this knowledge come from in principle? Well, okay.

"Bear Necessities" — apparently the ecology on Earth is so bad that everything that happened does not surprise anyone. Although you can't say that from the narrative. "Warzone" - that is, no one wants to ask Megatron why he hid the location of Shockwave for so many years?

"Home, Part 1-2" — where to start… And, that is, we will literally forget the previous episode, where we were told that the Decepticons wanted to take over the Earth, mentioned human losses in the war and showed photos of the destruction, and then we will wonder why humans don't particularly like being next to huge war machines? I understand everything, but the parents of the Malto family are a historian and a soldier. Again, in these series, a good opportunity was missed to show the victims, for example, the parents of a friend of Robby. I have already said about the stupidity of underground fighting.

By the way, a great reminder that Terrans, in fact, should be hiding! Thanks for the tip on this plot hole! Everyone somehow forgot that the GHOST is not a small local organization, and since the children could have time to go to the city overnight, survive all this and return, then what prevents the GHOST from patrolling these territories too? Well, witnesses, maybe cameras… Moreover, the GHOST can roughly know what Twitch and Thrash, which were already on the base, look like.

It would be a very good option that they really decided to take such a risk for the sake of Bumblebee, whom they began to consider a member of the family, but did not even mention anymore after he was forced to hide again. Which is very strange for an animated series with the main theme of family and a character who literally adores Bumblebee.

There is a feeling that the authors are trying to cram everything in at once, and either do not have time to think through these storylines and twists (and why then shove them into the plot?), or do not know how and cannot do it all.

There is an option that they tried to show as many "exciting" things as possible in order to get permission and budget for the next seasons. It can also be.

Personally, I don't think the cartoon is bad, although it may seem from my posts that I hate the series. This is not true, but the second part and especially the finale have cooled my ardor for this series very much, and I expect new episodes with caution. Mainly because of the rhetoric of "humans are real monsters" and protecting the Decepticons against the background of humanity's lack of the right to be justly angry at those who brought the war. But this is interspersed a little with the personal area, so this is probably an irrelevant remark for many.

I had a hope that this series would not repeat the path of many media on transformers in relation to humans where they are useless or evil, but it is unlikely that something will change. Good human characters are only those who, no matter what, treat transformers well, and if not, then they are caricatured evil. Very sorry. Although the Malto family as characters are worked out pretty well, and this is a big step for the media on transformers. I just want some event to change their unconditionally positive attitude towards cybertronians (not Terrans).

I hope you enjoy the new episodes when they come out, I will also hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

[dontpetmeibite]

The sigh just makes Ravage and Soundwave look at each other, and then Ravage blinks at Soundwave, slowly, and while Soundwave has a visor over his optics, he appears to do likewise. He's taken off his blast mask to drink, though, and he has a face--a finely sculpted nasal strut and lip-plates.

Ravage smiles. "I'm not Unicronian. I'm not even sure I know what that is. I just...can't carry at all. But Soundwave can, and anyway, he's bigger, so it's probably better if he does it."

If Soundwave's surprised that they were talking about that, it doesn't show on his face. "Your Galvatron would have been welcome here." He sips his cube. "I think we've built something good here. It was her dream first--"

Ravage sighs, but it's wistful, not love-struck. "Really, it was Gasket's dream first. He trained me to build and rebuild and to take care of other people--you were the first, of course."

"It was still your choice to carry it forward."

"But you made all this possible," Ravage says firmly, "and everyone else here has contributed something."

She turns back to Terminus. "Dimensional travel--especially unintended dimensional travel--can seem very dreamlike. The first time I walked through the shadows, Soundwave had been trapped in a spacebridge accident, and I refused to accept it, and I pulled the shadows around me like I do when I want to hide, so that no-one could stop me, and then I walked right into the black in the direction I felt my spark being pulled, until I tore a hole in that place that shouldn't have existed with my teeth and claws, because I was so angry--and dragged him back with me into the world. It didn't happen again for a long time and that was by accident."

She drank her energon. "I know it's confusing, and I'm sorry I went off on you--dimensional travellers rarely if ever come here, because this place is a fairly stable reality. You meet other people who look and sound like your friends and lovers and family, but they're not, and sometimes they're very different and can't be trusted at all. I still remember saying something in a group about one of our lovers and having his alternate tell me not to spill secrets! Here it's no secret that the mech courts us boldly."

She shrugs. "It makes me happy to know there's a world where Megatron had an actual family, and a world where you were a better person, someone who wasn't as willing to sacrifice other people's safety and principles as our Terminus was. And a world where Galvatron also was better. Anyhow, if your son brings home a music box and a cat who are bonded someday, remember us...but don't give him too many spoilers."

"We will help you get home," Soundwave assures him. "But it may take a while for us to figure out where your home is, in relation to this place."

"We'll find you a room somewhere in the singlemechs' quarters," says Ravage. "I've already sent a message to B4ST3T about it."

[knockout-starscream]

I decided to share a sad flashback scene from one of my fanfics Revenge Of The Quintessions which can be found on fanfiction.net, Wattpad and AO3 about Knock Out's reaction to Breakdown's death. If you guys like it I may start posting scenes or lines from my stories or some of my one shots here.

(Flashback)

"I can't believe your just walking out." Yelled Knock Out as he angrily paced back and forth.

"Knock Out the Stunticons are my family." Breakdown told him. "And they need me back on Cybertron."

"But Breakdown your needed here." Knock Out almost whimper. "Breakdown you've always been like a brother to me and I can't believe your going to abandon me." "Gigantichuon is on the other side of the universe if you go there we'll never see each other again and your the closest thing to a brother or family I have."

"Sorry Doc I have to go." Breakdown said clinching his fist to control his own emotions.

"Then let me come with you I'm sure a medic would come in handy I can help." Said Knock Out.

"No Gigantichon is a planet of giants combiners are the only ones who would stand a chance against them for anyone else it would be a death sentence you would only get yourself killed." Breakdown explained.

"Then stay here." Knock Out practical begged him.

"I can't!" Screamed Breakdown who punched a hole in the wall having had enough.

Just then Breakdown's com-link went off with a transmission from Dreadwing letting him know Megatron had a mission for them.

"I have to go on a mission and when I get back I'm leaving." Breakdown said to Knock Out as he turned to leave.

"Fine because I never want to see you again." Yelled Knock Out as a coolant tear ran down his faceplates.

"Goodbye." Said Breakdown who also shed a tear as he walked through the ground bridge. _

A few hours later Knock Out looked at the monitor and saw Breakdown's life signal go offline. "No." "No!" "It can't be!" "This can't be happening!" Knock Out thought in a panic. "It's just a technical error." "Yeah there's just something wrong with the monitor that gotta be it." "Just a glitch." "It has to be a glitch!" "Oh Breakdown!" Just then Dreadwing returned through the ground bridge.

"Where's Breakdown?!" Knock Out almost yelled.

"He didn't make it Arachnid killed him I couldn't find the body." Dreadwing told him.

"No it can't be true." "We have to go back for him!" Cried Knock Out.

"Knock Out he's gone there's no one to go back for." Dreadwing explained. "When we were going to terminate Arachnid she surprised us and Breakdown took off after her by himself."

"By himself you didn't do anything you just let him get himself killed!" Knock Out hissed. "How could you let this happen?"

"Knock Out she webbed me to a tree there was nothing I could have done." Dreadwing told him.

"You let Breakdown run off to his death!" Knock Out yelled at him with coolant tears flowing down his cheeks. Then Megatron walked in.

"This is all your fault!" Knock Out screamed at him. "Why did you send Breakdown and Dreadwing to do something you should have done yourself!" "You sent Breakdown to die!"

Then the next thing Knock Out knew he was grabbed by Megatron and slammed into the wall several times. Then the Decepticon leader held him by the head and told him.

"Just because you are currently our only medic don't think I won't kill you if you ever step out of line again!" Hissed Megatron. "Know your place Doctor." "This is your only warning." Then tossed Knock Out across the room where the red mech pulled himself up only to slump back down as the whole world went dark. Then he came to in the med bay a few hours later where he broke down sobbing. "Breakdown I'm so sorry." He cried.

The Cracks Beneath Your Feet: Part Five (IDW2 Issue 11 Review)

Summary: Bumblebee finds his loyalties tested when Barricade becomes the prize in a struggle between The Rise and Security Operations.

Review

It's the end of another arc!

You know, reading back through these issues now, I wonder if that's where the comic went so wrong for some people. Some of the best reading in this continuity have been the little self-contained stories set within the larger one, stories that focused on just a few characters. These larger arcs, with a large cast, sure feel like they're building towards something (and they are!!) but for episodic, once-a-month issues, they move too slowly to feel like there's any momentum being built up.

Once again, it reads better in the collections, and I think Ruckley picked up the hang of episodic writing as he went. I just wish editing had pushed the issue.

Anyway, this was a good, very explosive ending to the arc. We get another great look at the inner battle Bumblebee is fighting with himself, and a view into Megatron's inner machinations – and difficulties with his subordinates.

(Isn't that always Megatron's problem, in every continuity? He's always got someone or multiple someones he can't trust.)

And at the end we finally see the birth of the Decepticons, rising (hah) from the Ascenticon movement. But really, did anyone really expect anything different from the Ascenticon symbol?

Favourite Panel

Soundwave's expression while Megatron throws his tanrum is perfect.

There was fairly minimal world building in this issue (the next issue definitely makes up for it), but here's what I picked out.

Culture

There is a beautiful panel of the windows in the Senate, depicting Alpha Trion, Solus Prime, Nexus Prime, Solomus, and Quintus Prime. I've also admired the intricate crystal chandeliers that we've seen in other previous issues in the Senate. It seems to be a very fancy place.

Physiology

After her injuries in issue 9, Windblade is being kept in a CR chamber as she heals. This has become a common way for Cybertronians to recover from serious injuries, across several continuities.

Also, Sixshot complains when he transforms that the wound Windblade gave him in their fight hurts him when he transforms into one specific mode. Apparently his cog was nicked, and it gives him trouble with one specific transformation. This offers possibilities for how a t-cog might work; perhaps it moves in a specific way for a specific transformation?

Final Thoughts

I liked this issue, and was really happy to see more movement and setup. Also, Megatron asserting himself as the leader of the Decepticons was a bit of a nice payoff after almost a dozen issues.

Embers of the Phoenix

Chapter 2:burning wheels 

After the night-Daybreak

Emberblade p.o.v

After what happend that night,I send a message to him,needing to meet up with him soon & talk about last night,however it seems going be hard in this matter hour,I send a message to him that I might be little late to awhile since I'm trapped in a traffic jam.

Hmm,I wonder what he was doing now?,I hope he didn't get into trouble after what happend last night,but I do wonder what he was doing,was he looking for a track for the all spark? Or to send out the message that he finally found what we looking for?

I hope for the latter….oh!the lights turn green!,well can't be late now! I hope I don't keep him waiting too long….

Bumblebee p.o.v 

[I wonder where she had been?],I beeped to myself,I sighed once more since now I had a ping from her,she gonna be late for awhile because of traffic jam!,well I can always play some games I download newly,so maybe that can keep me busy,is a good thing I choose the junkyard…?

I start playing the game I choose as I think about Emberblade,I piss the game & reminces when I first met her,it was vivid but I remember her when she came to my nursery with someone else before & took care of me….

Who knew I would meet her soon?!,but on Earth?! I have so many questions how she got here,well...she did answers some of my other questions easefully but some of the ones I need to know must be hard since,her's was foggy….

But there is one thing i'm able to know about her is from the others,she was descirbe, laid-back,smart,kind,cool but sometimes annoying, irritating & pest,but their who have said her like that tolerate her,but what stunned me the most was optimus…..

I remember ratchet & ironhide told me once that optimus had fell deeply in love with a unique femme,at first I thought it was either elita, causeway,or Lauren,but I was shocked when he said the lady who ahd visited me back then….

Emberblade…

It was a very beautiful name for a tough femme,the way he talked almost the same as the others but the tone of his voice was different & his expression,he had look of strong fondness & adoration the same way as…

The same as Emberblade's,the same look & tone when she talks about optimus,well….who knew? If optimus know this I think he will be happy,but I don't know about her….she thinks optimus liked or already in a relationship with one of the three femmes she knew…

Well time will tell for the while…

I heard a honk from my right & saw she was here already,I drove up to her & beeped,[took you long enough…],she then said"my apologies,traffic is a bit suffocating when it was time to work for the day starts..",she then transforms as do I.

We both talks about what happend last night,we both sat down & start getting comfortable,then she asked"what we're you doing last night on the abandon construction site?",I then asnwered"[sending a signal…??]",she then response"to the other Autobots?",I nodded,& nudge her slightly in understanding,she then ask"did you find the coordinates of the all spark?",I nodded "yes",I told her that the coordinates of the all spark was imprine on some object & I told her it leads to the witwicky residents.

She then said"witwicky?..odd…",we both noticed it was almost night & she said"how about we rest here & then you can go back in the morning then?",well I do feel getting tired so I agrred,we both transform & took a recharge,for some reason I feel something is about to happen.

Next morning…

When the sun rose from dawn,both Emberblade & bumblebee got out of recharge, the two decided to prepare to leave soon as possible before any humans found them,so around early of the morning,both transform & quitely left the junkyard.

Afterwards both said their farewells & left on their own way with promise messaging each other now & then,bumblebee soon got back to the house but then Sam saw him & soon starts getting out of the house & runs away by riding his mother's bike, bumblebee seeing this,he immediately chase after him out in panic & messages Emberblade about Sam.

Emberblade hearing the message,immediately made another on the road,following the coordinates of bumblebee,she soon arrives on the road where bumblebee was & then saw a police car with a fimiliar wording"to punish & to enslave".

,"shit!!! Is barricade!!! & He's heading toward where's bumblebee's human driver was!!!!!", I commed bumblebee about barricade,as soon as bumblebee heard her message,he immediately drove faster.

Emberblade followed barricade,she soon followed his tracks & starts gunning at hm,barricade soon saw her on his rear mirror,& growled he starts shooting behind at her

Emberblade soon drive backwards.

Later that night….

After what happend,she commed bumblebee, unfortunately she commed at the wrong time.

Meanwhile….

When the whole team are done introducing themesleves,bee's comm's beeped

Sam,mikaela & the other's looked at him questionly,he snickered & radioed"what's up bitch?",the bots looked at incredously.

When…"very funny bee…",a soft beautiful voice rang out,all of the bots are stunned & jazz said"I recognized that voice!!!!...",then ironhide said"could it be…!?!?",then a soft,gentle deep,voice of optimus said the name of femme he longing for…"Emberblade…..",the voice on the other side of the comm was quite for a minute & said in a quivering yet joyful voice"orion?!,is that you!?".

Optimus prime p.o.v

I couldn't believe it,it was her!!!!,I thought I lost her…

We are currently driving into sam's house as we speak but i couldn't stop thinking it…

The femme I love & yearning for was alive….this whole time….

I remember,when jazz told me that the council asked for Emberblade & needed her help,& then... some cycles ago,some of the survivors of the one that Emberblade saved said something that forever will hunt me for orns….

Agate,a female wrecker told me that she ends up chasing at the all spark,& when they try to track her signal…..it disappeared,as if…..she vanish to thin air….

I was numb….i was deviatsated,the femme who I grew fond of & to love,was gone….

But I couldn't let it get to me,because I know she didn't want to see me like this,so I remain strong,hoping that's one day….i would see her again..

& When that day came,I was relieve...I knew she was alive...she was okay…

We soon arrives at our destination & we transformed,while Sam was talking to his sire,I saw a glimpse of fimiliar,navy/dark blue truck with blue flames,then we couldn't wait any longer we got into his home,she too transformed & she saw me & gave me that beautiful smile of hers,she just stayed outside.

Then the power went out,I saw ratchet may have damaged the power cables,I heard her snickered,then we heard Sam about not destroy anything else & we transformed back to our vehicle mode,she did too.

That's when some black SUV's came,she along with us immediately backs away & when the "sector 7"took them,we followed Emberblade came driving besides me & when we got to side of where the bridge was,we all transform.

We notice that we arrive ahead of them,so ratchet asked"optimus what are we gonna do? How do we stop them?",I was thinking how but when I finally got an idea how, Emberblade says"they're almost here!!!!",we saw the arriving suv's.

Soon I put my plan in action & jumped infront of the unsuspecting vans & stopped where Sam & his mate was,I was upset & tore off the hood,soon I demanded them to get out of the car,even telling them taking the two was a bad move.

After relieving their weapons we interigorated them.

Jazz p.o.v

While optimus interigorated them,I looked at the truck femme,I admit she was a beauty,smooth face,bright teal optics,& plump lips,her optics shines like a gem!!! Dang, guess why now optimus fell for her,let's not forget her exotic body of hers~~~

Well I shouldn't oggling on her,she already got the leader pinning on her anyway…

Oh well...buuuut I could always play matchmaker after this!!!!

3rd p.o.v

Before it could go any further,helicopters starts coming in & soon all of them transform immediately & starts driving aways but before that optimus told them what to do while he starts running away.

Emberblade followed suit after,both soon got into another bridge both hide underneath,however soon mikaela slips & Sam catches her,but the two fell, Ember saw this & catches them but she too fell, unfortunately bumblebee came & there the helicopter s soon surrounded them along with the other humans,using the hooks while being sprayed by a gas.

Optimus could only watch as the two beings he clearly care for the most was being taken away, Ember was struggling who she called out for bumblebee,after they are gone.

He gets down & felt his spark gone numb,he clench his servos into a fist as the other bots soon transform,he saw the glasses & took it.

Soon afterwards,daybreak came & all of them stood infront of a white building as they talked about what happens last night.

At hover dam….

All Ember could remember was lights,smokes,bumblebee being hooked &....dark

She onlined her optics soon after she noticed she was in a room,she looked around & saw she was chained up.

When she tries to budge them off,someone came in & soon she realize it was Simmons,he was talking something about managing capturing them & what not,she recognize him before..she remembers about edmund mentioning an accquintance of his before.

He soon leaves the room with another elder human,while she was left alone, however the elder human soon notice she was awake,but kept his mouth shut but he did sign to her something.

I know edmund,he mentioned about you,don't sorry we'll get you out soon enough

Emberblade could only hope because not only the all spark is here…..

Megatron was here too…
