#char: optimus prime

[patepaka]

I can’t stop the urge to draw Optimus every damn time I open my sketch book

[jweekgoji]

I quite like Cybertronian!Reader, who can transform into a motorcycle. So Reader's size is just taller than a human. They can still stand in the palm of a larger Cybertronian's hand. What do you think?

TFO!Chars/Motorcycle!Reader [hcs]

tw: size difference, mentions of possessive/overprotective behavior. chars mentioned: D-16/Megatron, Orion Pax/Optimus Prime, Elita-1, B-127, Sentinel Prime, Darkwing, Airachnid. word count: ~2000 a/n: the size difference is sooo yummy  thank you for request anon

D-16/Megatron

One of the tallest from the miner gang. When D-16 finally gets his cog, be ready for a constant tease from him. I feel like cogless D-16 is the most respectful one, he understands how hard it is for you to fit in a society where physical differences play a huge role in how others would treat you. So every time you get into trouble, he will pick you up and like «my apologies!» before quickly walking away since he does NOT want to be punched for the second time this day. He is a total sweetheart, but please, don't be like Orion.

Cogged D-16 is more bold. He is happy he can finally transform, and he desperately wants to test the limits of his own powers. You might walk next to Orion and Elita-1 one moment, and then he quickly grabs you from behind, placing on his shoulder with a «here, let me help you» which is kinda sweet if you think about it.

He also has that tiny overprotective side in him, which is borders with possessiveness. If Orion tries to ask D-16 about it, he will get defensive. What is wrong with him, helping his fellow bot? He never means to disrespect you, his intentions are pure, it's just happens that he is taller and stronger than you. How ironic.

I still believe that, as Megatron, he never treats you as someone weak and unable to protect yourself. He admits that you're skilled, you are a capable warrior if necessary, but he'd rather keep you close than let you wander around others. His touch is careful, his whole servo covers most of your frame, and he loves it, but he's not sure about the others. He doesn't trust them with you. If other decepticons try to mumble even the slightest insult towards your size and alt-mode, he will act as if they dare to insult Megatron himself. [reader is hot enough to replace you whenever I choose, Starscream!]

Orion Pax/Optimus Prime

Cogless Orion is a huge troublemaker, and he is reckless, despite his good intentions. He constantly wants to prove himself, to Sentinel, to others and to you. He can see you struggle with everyday life, and he wants it to make it better for you. Orion often brings you some tiny energon cubes he stole during one of his secret visits to the archives, or maybe it's some pretty shiny thing he gets you because he knows you love it. When he sees your optics almost sparkling in amazement when he holds a trading card of Micronus Prime and you immediately go to reach it, he will be like «what's the magic wooord~?» playfully making you try and reach for it. He's not a bully, usually he quickly quits it and gives you it anyway, but he just adores that cute, tiny smile on your face.

The height difference between you and Orion once he gets his cog is even more noticeable. But after everything, there are noticeable changes in his behavior. He sees you from a little different perspective (no pun intended), and he practically looses that playful and teasing side of his now that he has many responsibilities on his shoulders.

If Megatron is a bot who prefers to hold you close to himself, standing on his shoulder, Optimus is the one who would kneel so he can look into your optics. Now that he's a Prime, a real, kind and caring one, it might feel a little different for you because with Sentinel everyone was used to looking up at him. What Prime would stand on his knees for a small bot for you? You're dear to him no matter what size you are, and he wants you to know that you're important to him.

^ a tiny addition, but he's the bot who probably would like having you on top of his alt-mode, a tiny bot on top of a truck. It gives more mobility during a fight, and he can be sure you're safe next to him. a cute sight for autobots, but a dangerous combo on the battlefield for others!

Elita-1

Elita doesn't really care if you're short or tall, she is more occupied with her own thoughts about how to deal with today's mission and get her promotion. If you do your job well and listen to her orders without being a trouble, she also has no trouble with you. She's not rude, just a busy woman who is thinking about her career, you know? But if you somehow are friends with her, she can spare a minute or two to have some rest.

I feel like she shares the overprotective trait with D-16 if you're much smaller compared to many other bots. Mines are already dangerous for everyone, so she has to keep her optics on you 24/7 so you wouldn't get in trouble, for example, if you accidentally got stuck by a rock or lost somewhere. She explains it like «I don't want to lose my chances of promotion because of you» but it is only a partially true.

Cogged Elita is as bossy and commanding as before, but now she's more open about her feelings about you. You two have some similarities between your alt-modes, you're both cybertronian motorcycles after all. << but the size difference between her and you are a little funny tbf. She might give you the same treatment as Orion with her «I am better than you» talk, but she quickly adds all your other unique abilities. You're fast, brave and strong despite your size, despite often being teased by others, you never give up and continue to fight. She's inspired, and she makes sure you know that she adores you for it. But when someone else tries to pick on you, she will punch them straight into their face.

B-127

You two are both short. Congratulations! But somehow...he's not the shortest on the squad? Bee doesn't see anything wrong with you being small, if anything, he will try to make it look like it's the coolest thing he has ever seen. He is just happy to have new friends, especially the ones who can talk back to him! like «what do you mean you can transform into a motorcycle? that's like super, mega, ultra AWESOME! can you drive while standing on your one wheel? can you do some cool trick??» he's your biggest fan.

B-127 is really touchy with you, mainly because he had never talked with other bots for cycles while being stuck on level 50. He likes to hug you, pull closer to himself, and nuzzle his cheek against your helm, sometimes even doing it without realizing it because he has so much energy and affection he has to release, and you're just around him...it's hard not to give you some love.

This guy probably makes you his victim of loooong, long talks. He will keep you close to himself, and you just HAVE to listen to him talking about Steve, how he struggles to pick a new nickname for himself, and how happy he is to have a cog and finally work for the government...! Bee is very enthusiastic, it doesn't hurt at all, but he has this death grip around your frame that you have no chance but to listen to him. He probably doesn't realize that he holds you, maybe he's unconsciously a little scared of being left all alone.

Sentinel Prime

That man is a bastard. And a huge prick. If he chooses to let you have your own cog, that's probably for his own amusement. I mean, with or without a cog, what difference would it make for him? If anything, he might accidentally kick or step on you if he wasn't careful enough, so consider yourself lucky because he was in a good mood to spare your life. Maybe with a cog, you would be more useful for him?

Personally, see him as a bot who would have you on his shoulder/palm while posing for some photo just because he wants to look like a very respectful guy. Look at him, some tiny two-wheeler and THE Sentinel Prime? Ohh he's so kind and caring for all of his citizens! But he just does this for a boost of confidence and support from other bots. Whatever helps him rule over Iacon and get energon faster?

In private, if you have a closer relationship with him, I can definitely see him loving your small frame the most. Other bots I mentioned before pay a little to no attention to it, for Sentinel this is a thing that makes him feel even more powerful.

He's careful around you, his touch is gentle and soothing, but in his mind, it's tempting and hot; one wrong move, and he can easily damage you, but he never does it because he is in control. You're lucky he likes you or just finds you amusing to keep around. He's a control freak.

^ definitely into holding you on his lap if he has a chance. you can mind your own business until he randomly picks you up and places you where he wants it.

Dakrwing

He is a jerk too, but at least he doesn't hide it. It really depends if you just got your cog recently or if you were with it all your life. If you were a cogless miner before, Darkwing has no mercy for you. He needs his work done and fast, after all, it is an order from Sentinel and he doesn't care if it's too hard for you to hold mining equipment that is almost as big as you. Do your job or he will report you, there's no other expectation. << but he might pick on you more than on anyone else just because of your size. Poor you.

If you were born with your cog and one of the elite cybertronians, might be a racer too, I can see him being softer. As a cogged bot you have a lot of free time, and most bots usually spend their time racing or minding their own business but let's say, you are popular enough to be noticed by him, who happens to be your biggest fan. If he spots you walking through the streets of Iacon he will awkwardly approach, holding his poster of you, shyly asking for you to sign it. His height and voice in intimidating but he acts like a total fanboy around you.

Airachnid

The spider lady is scary, intimidating and a little freaky. Most of the time she's really quiet next to you, whenever you are in the same room, listening Sentinel yapping about something unimportant as usual, you will notice her glancing at you. At first you might think it was an accident, the second one as just awkward, the third time she would not look away once you notice her staring. she has that little pleased smirk on her face whenever she sees you.

Airachnid is probably the second one of the tallest bots here. she's taller than Sentinel (but I'm not sure if she's bigger than Megatron with Megatronus cog), her spider-like appearance makes most bots uncomfortable and it will surprise her if you weren't at least a little scared of her. she's not the one to openly tell you that she enjoys the height difference between you and her but her silent interest tells you everything. her optics always focused on you and no matter how small and stealthy you are, you have no chance to make a move past her.

"Rescue Bots Are Built Different"

It was initially an ask, but I felt like this required a true post...

So on top of my previous post about their cold tolerance, there are some other things that I've noticed that set Sigma 17 specifically apart from other bots within the continuity/world they reside in.

HIGHER PAIN TOLERANCE

Cybertronians have been seen to be able to take serious punishment and hits and still get back up, but these guys take it to an extreme-

Chase skis behind a runaway car, his feet are literally smoking and red-hot when they finally stop, and all he does is complain about how there has to be another way to stop runaway vehicles.

In the same episode, Blades' feet are charred by a lightning strike, which can pass through the air at 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and he's still able to stand directly after (until other system failures later on paralyzed him)

Cece flung Heatwave and he flipped over multiple times and was able to walk it off... You get the idea.

HIGHER DURABILITY

While in Prime we see both Autobots and Decepticons alike taking scratches, dents, and the like-

-Sigma Seventeen never seems to have that problem. Their paint stays fresh, and dings and dents are barely referenced, even after they've been through the wringer and back. I mean, guys-

-There's nothing from a dinobot standing on your hood?

MULTI-CHANGE

It's established by Optimus Primue in the series that multi-changing is not a common thing achieved by cybertronians, and even those that can rarely are able to do so on their first attempt to access this power. He is even impressed by Heatwave's success on his first try. However, the fact that all four of them were able to do so on their first try-

-That's gotta be something unique. (Optimus going dino is exempt because- well, he's Optimus Prime.)

Also, it's established in Rescue Bots Academy that in order for some bots to achieve multi-change, they have to have access to the Multi-Cog...

...Which is a unique artifact in itself and isn't easily obtained by just anyone. (it's implied in the first season that there is only the one that is lent to Hotshot, and the others were found later and that their discovery was a major one for cybertronian history)

Heatwave might actually hold the record for most forms held by one bot and NOT losing their mind from it, so add "Stronger Psyche" to his attributes.

P.O.V Flashback - Oficina de Hefesto em Waterland

"É o seguinte, Wall-e: eu preciso de uma arma e ela precisa ser de bronze celestial pra combinar com as adagas. Nada de coisa vagabunda, quero algo de qualidade. E não me venha com arquinho fajuto!"

Aidan sacudiu o autômato de Oficina de Hefesto como se estivesse cumprimentando um amigo íntimo e o apelido era parte do tratamento carinhoso. A máquina pareceu hesitar na movimentação, como se pensasse que talvez exibir um elerta de pane elétrica fosse mais seguro do que acompanhar o filho de Ares na produção de uma arma, mas aceitou. O robô começou a se movimentar para próximo dos setores de produção, fazendo alguns estalos ao se conectar com a forja para auxiliar na produção.

No visor surgiu uma longa lista de objetos para produção. Armadura? Nem pensar. Lança? Talvez não. Escudo? Seria interessante ter algo com um grande javali estampado, mas ficaria para a próxima. Adagas? Já tem. Arco e flecha? Pelos deuses, não! Espada?

Uma espada seria eficiente, eficaz em combate, demandaria menor adaptação já que conhecia muito bem suas formas de condução da arma. Era uma escolha ótima. Sua mão selecionou a arma, os olhos vidrados nos projetos disponíveis que eram levados um por um até a mesa de escolha. Aidan folheou alguns modelos disponíveis e escolheu uma espada claymore, com lâmina dupla e bainha longa, ideal para combates e duelos com outros semideuses. Seguindo o próprio censor estético, optou por bronze celestial e todos os outros detalhes iriam ser desenvolvidos na área de artesanato.

O autômato deu as instruções exatas para o derramamento o metal divino no molde correto, o ângulo de afiação e se disponibilizou para auxiliar no detalhamento do metal e Aidan o fez, com uma destreza inesperada, supervisionado pelos visor do robô atencioso. Satisfeito e orgulhoso, gargalhou quando finalmente viu a espada bruta pronta. "VOCÊ É DEMAIS OPTIMUS PRIME! NUNCA MAIS VOU TEORIZAR SOBRE UM APOCALIPSE DE ROBÔS!"

O filho de Ares deixou um beijinho naquilo que seria a testa do autômato estático e, com a espada nova em mãos, avançou até a sessão de artesanato. Era seu momento de exercer a criatividade e a capacidade de estilizar a arma. Mas assim que notou a presença de outros semideuses de sua faixa etária e algumas crianças correndo com suas obras e potes de tinta, ficou paralisado calculando qual seria a sua atuação naquele lugar e como explicar seu apelo à estética de uma arma. Era de conhecimento geral que o filho de Ares é obcecado por armas brancas, sendo um dos mais envolvidos nos cuidados do arsenal, mas não era tão esperado que o mesmo semideus fosse tão apegado às artes manuais. Bom, ao menos ele iria tentar.

Elaborou uma capa para a bainha em uma madeira de eucalipto, esculpindo a cabeça de um javali na ponta e outros desenhos que subiam até a lâmina, os quais iriam auxiliar na pega e evitariam que a espada deslizassem quando empunhada. Quando pronto, finalizou com o verniz escuro disponível e fez uma bainha de couro com o auxílio de alguns semideuses do clube de artesanato, que o incentivaram a ingressar no grupo pelo perfeccionismo em seus detalhes.

Com a nova espada em mãos, requisitou que um autômato a guardasse e deixasse em seu chalé em segurança, enquanto o verniz ainda não havia secado completamente. Agora, além das adagas, possuía uma bela espada para acertar seus inimigos e pertencia ao clube de artesanato, sendo supervisionado por Natalia.

Cybermorph au( Armada)

What if we change the "dead" to "badly injured"? I saw some fans do this

The result would still be Megatron having a reality check with what happened

I'm sad and cranky rn so I'm taking it out on Starscream

I don't remember all the exact details of his death but I do know he's generally hailed as a martyr. Sacrificed himself for the greater good and all that. I'm gonna twist it juuust a bit: he has every intention to die and not just because he thinks it's a necessity. That is part of it, yes, but I like to imagine all the countless years of utter-indifference-to-downright-cruelty from Megatron has made it so he just... doesn't want to be alive anymore. He's a nuisance, an unwanted mistake: he's never done anything to help his hive and his carrier doesn't seem to love him at all. He's tolerated only because their species is already critically endangered. He's a bad morph. He's cripplingly lonely and sad. Cybermorphs are social creatures that need bonds to be healthy, and Starscream just. Doesn't have it. His mental state has spiralled out of control and has finally manifested in the ultimate amalgamation of self loathing and isolation: suicidal ideation.

He's eager--no, desperate--for the pain to finally end. And deep down, more than anything, he hopes dying to save everyone will finally, finally, earn him his carrier's pride and maybe some of his love. It's all he wants. All he's ever wanted.

He's gotten really good at filtering out his own thoughts from the hivemind over the years. Doesn't want to burden them with his angst. But as he's about to throw himself into the metaphorical fire, his filters crack and then dissolve all together: he wants them to know they won't have to tolerate him anymore, and that he's doing it for them. For him. He truly, genuinely hopes this will make his carrier happy.

Megatron suddenly freezes during his final stand off with Optimus. Prime manages to get a hit in and sends him skidding back, but notices the cybermorph queen isn't really looking at him anymore. His face has gone slack, optics wide and horrified, then he promptly turns on a dime and takes off like a bat out of hell, bellowing Starscream's name.

It's too late, though. He can't stop his foolish little morphling even with his most powerful and desperate command as the queen.

He arrives just in time to see him drop, collapsing limp and charred and terrifyingly still, his presnece from the hivemind gone and sparkpulse so faint he seems doomed to blip out before Megatron can even get his hands on him. I'm headcannoning this scene to be similar to the frozen river in Wolf Children--desperate and regretful mother shaking him, hysterical and panicking, begging him to wake up and open his optics. Megatron's lost morphlings before, so, so many before, but not like this. Never like this. They all died at the hands of the autobots, be it in battle or during the early war nest raids. This is new, this is fresh, a special kind of grief and terror he's never been subjected to before. His very last morphling just tried to kill himself. He's shocked. He's horrified. He doesn't know what to do.

Through the power of fanfic and extremely resilient cybermorphs bodies, Starscream survives, but barely. He's in a coma for several decacycles after the fact. There's extensive bodywork to put him back together and stabilize him, but he's still in critical condition. While he's unconscious, he doesn't dream. He doesn't hear anything of the outside world. There's no sensation, no feeling, no nothing. Just the abyss.

When he finally reawakens, he's very disoriented. So stiff he can't even bend his fingers at first, optics open a single micrometer and flinching against even the low light of his recovery chamber. Everything hurts. Everything. Ventilating hurts. Blinking hurts. Trying to turn his neck to look around hurts. Tears bubble up in his optics and he starts very softly sobbing, in agony and disappointed in himself all at once.

What will the queen say? He's going to be in so much trouble. How can he be such a failure that he can't even die properly?! Did they win? Are they safe? He doesn't remember, he doesn't know-

Anxiety and panic bloom in his chassis and he's about 2 seconds away from a whole ass nervous breakdown in his hospital bed.

Then, suddenly, the door opens

His helm jerks to the side to look and white hot pain flares throughout his entire body, lacing down his main spinal strut and setting fire to every single nerve ending and sensory diode in his body. It's too much and he's helpless to stop himself from crying harder, especially when he sees who's just arrived.

The cybermorph queen himself has arrived and Starscream flinches back, trying so hard to cower away from him but his body won't move the way he wants it to, he's so stiff and it hurts so bad and oh stars Megatron's going to kill him for this-

He's expecting a lot of things. For his carrier to yell at him. To ream him the worst he's ever experienced. To be banished from the hive for being so reckless and stupid, or to just be eaten for his transgression. The cybermorphs have never been cannibalistic before, but he wouldn't be surprised if that was deemed a fitting punishment for royally screwing up as much as he has. He's expecting to be ridiculed, hated, screamed at.

He's expecting anything, honestly, aside from what happens. He is in no way shape or form expecting his carrier to cross the room in a single second and throw all 4 arms around him (I uh. Recently found out xenomorph queens have 4 arms. Didn't notice that until 2 days ago. Whoops)

Starscream gasps, shock pulsing through his entire body. He's never been held like this before, never been held at all: his secondary arms are both grasping at his shoulders, holding him close. Main arms have one wrapped around his back, the other cradling his helm and tucking his face close against the queen's chassis.

He's trilling, chirping, blubbering in cybermorph speak. My Starscream, my little morph, I'm so sorry, forgive your foolish carrier for not realizing how you felt. I'm so glad you're alright, I don't know what I'd do if I lost you, but you're safe now. You're ok.

The first time he's ever been held by his carrier. The first time he's ever been spoken to so gently. The first time he's ever been told that he is loved. He doesn't have it in him to be angry, or to feel betrayed: he's so exhausted and in so much agonizing pain, all he can do is melt into the warm embrace and cry. It's the sort of crying wherein every sound is visceral, wet and painful, pouring out every bit of loneliness and devestation and every horrible thing he's had to endure over the years. He clings on, desperately, to Megatron's frame, begging him to say it again. To swear it to be true, that it's really over, that he's never going to have to feel like this again. The queen promises it easily, and holds him tight enough to dent the entire time. Purring at his last remaining morphling, swearing to protect and properly love him forever going forward. Maybe Starscream's connection to the emotional hivemind was weak, maybe it had grown numb in war, but he'd never been privvy to these feelings before. Megatron blames himself and vows to never, ever allow these mistakes to repeat.

...

I'm gonna cut this here cuz it's getting long and I'm tired. This may be exceptionally ooc but I really can't be hecked to care. If you want a follow up of this, uhhh just ask. If you have more thoughts, send em. Im going back to bed lmfao

[witchofthesouls]

You know what I need?

I need Optimus’s (doesn’t matter which one) Witch! Or Other lineage! S/O, who has witnessed her beloveds constant breakdowns and heavy burden after heavy burden forced upon him, to use some of her voodoo and hoodoo powers and verbal SHRED the original twelve primes along with some of the other members of the prime lineage how contributed to Optimus’s pain and trauma into fucking oblivion for what shit they did (and possibly continue to do) to Optimus, the Thirteenth and unknown prime, the one cursed to be reincarnated other and other again through the ‘wishes’ of Primus and his siblings.

Witch! S/O: You fucking pieces of shit! Look what you did to him, your own fucking brother! You fucking selfish monsters rebuild him and have him torn apart over and over and over again, and for what!? He doesn’t deserve this! No one fucking deserves that fate! Do you know he losses a piece of himself each time he’s reincarnated!? That he looses a piece of his mind and soul each time he comes back!? Did you know and simply not care!? He’s not a martyr! He’s not a goddamn lamb raised for the slaughter! He’s a good person who deserves all the peace and happiness in the universe! so leave him the fuck alone or I’ll fucking make you!!!”

Ehhh, I'm in the camp that the Thirteen are actual deities, so-

✨️ Celestial Horror ✨️ 

The Realms of the Primes aren't what you expected. It's nothing what Optimus could be coaxed into revealing: you’re not a phantom gripped in a disjointed, piecemeal memory flux of a departed Prime, no incoherent whispering in the corners that flutter like pages, no dream logic in a place that’s bizarre, yet familiar…

You’re standing. The floor is definitely solid beneath your feet. Light blinds you completely, all-consuming in its intensity. Even with your eyes closed, palms pressed tight to your lids, it's searing.

Your face is wet and you can't tell if it's blood or tears in this new hellish landscape where you can see a tower in the distance, haloed in a rainbow shimmer to stand out in the endless blank slate of blue-white, through your boiling eyes and cooking flesh and charring bones.

The tower shifts, and your stomach drops at its attention-

Before you realize it, a hook drags into your navel and pulls you down, down, down into a rendered hole that eats you.

The tower stares from above and its heavy gaze upon you even as you fall so down it disappears from your sight as distant sun.

You're dragged so far down that air no longer whips around, and you make no sound as water takes you completely.

Weightless as your hair flows up and air bubbles escape your lips. There’s no way you can hold your breath for this long eternity, so you don’t.

You drown.

Darkness consumes you with strange bioluminescent flickers of stranger creatures dancing all around. Gossamer filaments and electric scales. Flashes and flickers of indescribable hues before disappearing.

Your body fills with water, but you don’t die. Your chest is heavy, and your stomach hurts, but you don't burst from the immense pressure. In some ways, you're numb. A massive ghost-like jellyfish brushes over your face, and you feel nothing, even when you can see the outline of stingers and glittering hooks -

You're forcibly stopped, slamming hard onto the floor, and it isn't packed sand that cradles you, it's something else: jagged and hard as rock and so cold it steals the heat from your burns. You shudder, freezing, trying to make sense, and you can only see the steaming vent of the volcano deep down here.

A massive body rises from it. Not from within, but the entire structure moves. It contorts to shape the room itself. You stand upon its lap, magma veins oozing throughout its body, eerie symbols carved deep into the metal and rock of the floor and walls, and you fall into the hypnotic trance as those glyphs flow and ebb and spiral into patternless patterns that break and form again and again and -

< You’re very lucky that I caught you in time. My twin has forgotten mortal shells and their constraints. > A deep, masculine voice enemates from nowhere and everywhere at once, and you're ground zero to the massive eruption of the talking volcano. You stumble under its power, trance broken, and it shifts to catch you, jutting out parts of itself. Patient as it watches you with smoldering eyes to bring yourself back into your own head.

Some gods disliked subservience more than they disliked impudence. Optimus is far more… mortal for the lack of a better word, and it made you… forget what he will one day become.

There is only one Prime that claimed to be Prima's twin.

< Hail > your mouth knows the words, throat rippling in a way that’s definitely unknown in human physiology, it isn't just your vocal cords shifting, even your trachea twists, pulling knowledge from elsewhere, bloody air bubbles flow off your tongue -a part distant and underused after so long as you strike something in-between. < The Shadow of the Thirteen. >

< And here I thought my brother burnt out your tongue as well, little spark. > Your bones rattle at the sound, mind trying to translate the crescendo of shifting tectonic plates, icebergs falling into the sea, lightning striking the mountain, and the roar of thermal vents bursting in the abyss. His next words gentled down into a rumble of a river rushing into a harbor, the tide breaking upon the shore, and the languid decay happening beneath a forest’s watchful gaze. < You traveled so far away from a champion’s side. >

The way he says “little spark” is fond with the underlying layering of ‘potential’ and ‘firefly.’ A strange twine of ‘seed lighting,’ ‘kindling,’ and ‘fragment of what was once whole.’

“This is speculation,” Optimus once told you in the privacy of isolation by the virtue of being in the wilderness and away from anyone else. “But based on stricken records and Alpha Trion’s thoughts on its translation, the Fallen may have been, in your terms, the true father of my race.”

The Fallen, the Prime of Chaos and emerged from Prima’s own shadow, had taken Solus, Prime of Creation, who was crafted from the dirt of an awake Primus in his planetary mode. He had taken her upon victory, and from their union came the new generation.

The Fallen of Prima, who was of Primus, and Solus of Primus, so still fits the modern narrative from Ratchet that they descended from the Well of Cybertron as the Well was Solus’ final parting gift. The divine ouroboros of life and death interwoven and continuous by one being eating and rebirthing itself in new shapes…

You’re getting way too sidetracked.

< I’ve come seeking guidance on the behalf of Optimus Prime. The last of your kin. And a way to repair Cybertron. >

He stares and you can't falter here. Not when so much is at stake.

The Fallen slowly blinks, embers stubborn to remain burning and exhaustion is carved deep in the crevices of his face. Metal worn down from time and the raw elements, pitted and warped, but enduring all the same.

Finally, he speaks again.

< An ancient evil stirs again. > The mountainous mech intoned as his face warps, mouth pulling down as it forms a chasm, the glyphs burning to livelier shapes to form a multitude of pathways, crossing and uncrossing as they bend into impossible roads with no clear end, eyes burning brighter as sulphuric gas steams out, the helm crests becoming jagged peaks. < Once forced to sleep, it stirs with the presence of a new champion ordained by my twin and the surging usage of its dark blood by a usurper. >

Goosebumps break over your entire body as you try to will away the ice in your veins that isn’t from the coldness of the Fallen’s realm. Your heart races as you divine the truth in his words.

You wait because your questions go unanswered. Megatronus was known for his madness and titanic, brutal power, not for lies.

< I was not still after all this time. Much like my originator, I carved myself into pieces and etched into the blood and bones of this planet. All fall under my hand, for I am one with all, and all are one with me. >

You shudder at the familiar phrasing: 'Til all are one.

How fittingly ironic that Megatronus Prime had achieved what Prima and his Guiding Hand failed at.

< Are you able to aid us then? >

Because Unicron, diminished as he is, still outmatches them all. And there’s no way none of them are prepared to face a force of the universe as they are: stranded, starving, and so alone. Optimus is a single mortal that's half-way ascended, and Unicron had battled the Thirteen many times.

< Not as I am, little fragment. I've anchored nearly all of my strength into containing the Chaos-Bringer. > You feel him move to sit back, chunks of his frame crumbling down, and the chasm of a mouth sighs < Did the newest champion not question why our ancient foe simply did not crush him by shifting its plates?

Fuck, you didn’t even think about that either. You chucked it as space material mostly claimed by the beings of Elsewhere, not fucking divine intervention and the remains of a Primodial deity sealing away something far more terrible and great.

It’s almost hysterically funny in a morbid way: Earth and Cybertron are distant blood cousins that should have been drenched in their own war. Instead, a child of Earth is dating the last of the Primes.

< And Cybertron? >

You croak because Earth may disappear in the upcoming, end-of-the-world battle between forces, but you came for answers about reviving a dying planet. And to perhaps scream at the Eldest, but you lost your chance against that bastard.

The entire space rumbles at his slow chuckles.

< All according to my > that strange word again < calculations. All shall be well. >

You should feel relieved. Should, is the keyword, but foretelling the future has always been a murky subject. There are too many uncertainties and are always in motion. In some ways, it's truth and history, and it's difficult to divine, which is which.

And when it comes to older forces, there's a blood price to pay.

< There is more than meets the eye to this champion. > The god says cryptically as jagged stalactites of teeth break off and disappear. < Perhaps he may remember himself. Perhaps not. >

< And what can be done to jog that memory? >

The Fallen, once known as Megatronus Prime, laughs, and you're swept away by the new current, rolling and tumbling, unable to sink or swim. < There are many paths one can take. > He cradles you. Even at his most gentle, he's forceful. Inescapable in a terrifying moment. < My little brother must find himself again. Not as champion of Prima or Orion Pax of Alpha Trion, but what he truly was, is, and will be. >

You're carried away, going up and up until-

You wake up, jolted back into your body, and you flail hard enough to roll over. Just in time to retch out seawater, sand, and colorful bits of precious metal. Sludge dribbles down your mouth and your stomach spasms, chest burning, lungs heavy, and limbs uncooperative.

You’re vaguely aware of someone by your side, and they catch you before you tumble into your own mess. You shiver violently, pins and needles deep in your limbs, and frozen as if you were rescued from Arctic waters. You struggle to breathe. Gasping. Struggling to remain conscious.

'Your gods are dicks.' is what you want to say, but your mouth and lungs remain uncooperative as Optimus quietly warms up his servos to reheat your body. You're encased in his palms and you can't help but think at Optimus' own gentleness versus his forebearers' attempts: non existent or overwhelming.

Stranger, impossible things must happen to him to remain calm with someone almost drowning in the desert.

[melishade]

Could you write a one-shot of Optimus in his Dinosaur mode?

Funny thing about this!

So when writing Attack on Prime back in 2013, I had no idea that Rescue Bots was also part of the Aligned Continuity. I had no idea that Optimus could transform into a Dinobot. Even if I knew back then, I still wouldn't have added it because it would've made Optimus too over-powered and also too chaotic.

That being said, this was a conversation I had with @justawannabearchaeologist and @echoblaze5 because of some AU bleeding over into different forums that got extremely out of hand.

So we'll say that Optimus is able to transform into his Dinosaur form. Thing is, he keeps it a secret. He's never told anyone back at the base, and he clearly felt no need to do it now. Plus, a place where humanity is on the brink of extinction because of titans is already bad enough. Having him transform into an unknown species that he can lose control of is going to cause panic. Extreme panic. So he keeps it under wraps.

Until Zeke shows up, and invokes his ire and drops the bomb that titans are humans. With an already high strung situation and that breaking the camel's back, Optimus gets pissed off and unleashes his Dinosaur form and roars, getting everyone's attention. Including Megatron, who was in Shinganshina at this time. And before Zeke can even react, Optimus breathes fire on him and starts burning Zeke alive, ignoring Ymir's titan transformation and the castle collapsing. The Survey Corps have to come and rescue the crew at the tower, and are met with the sight of Optimus using his jaw to tear Zeke apart while he's still on fire. Hanji realizes that Zeke might be a titan shifter and quickly tells Eren to stop the T-Rex. No one is sure if that even is Optimus. The color scheme is the same, but he's just so out of control. Eren transforms and yanks Optimus off of Zeke, and Eren is trying to wrestle an out of control T-Rex. Optimus manages to throw Eren off of him, and Eren is at Optimus' mercy. Optimus is ready to tear into him, but Megatron kicks Optimus, sending him flying across the area.

Megatron sees a threat and doesn't recognize that it's Optimus. He watched him die anyway. When Megatron approaches ready to kill him, Eren has to grab him from behind and pull him back with all his might. Hanji screams at Megatron to not kill him! It's Optimus! And before Megatron can even challenge Hanji's statement, Optimus transforms back, unconscious, which takes everyone for a loop. They do manage to capture Zeke, who's pretty charred, and Megatron and Eren carry Optimus back to Wall Rose. Everyone waiting in Trost is pretty shook at the sight of Optimus injured and unconscious, Megatron being there, and a human that was charred beyond belief slowly healing from his wounds.

Levi takes one look at Megatron: Who's this fucker?

Megatron: Someone who can squish you like a bug!

Hanji: Can we not?!

When Optimus wakes up, he's shocked to see Megatron and pulls out his blaster and demands what he's doing here? And Megatron replies: "I don't know which situation I should be more furious at. The fact that you're still alive, or the fact that you could turn into a Dinobot and DIDN'T TELL ME!"

Optimus is mortified that his secret is out to his former enemy, but the Survey Corps is also there, and realizes from their faces that they know the truth too. And he has a lot of explaining to do.

So a few things:

-Optimus does confess that he was able to transform into a Dinobot starting on Earth, but kept it under wraps because it was ultimately going to put the Rescue Bots in danger during the War. Megatron is 0.5 seconds away from blowing his lid. Rescue Bots?! Prime what the hell?! But the form was also extremely hard to control, since it was organic components mixing with Cybertronian biology. He lost his mind, quite a few times, to this form, and decided that it would be best to keep it a secret considering the negative side effects.

-Hanji is both excited and angry! How dare you keep this from her?! Levi is just annoyed. So annoyed. He's already dealing with enough! Why is this an addition to the bullshit?! Erwin sees potential, perhaps there was a way this form could be controlled.

-Megatron does end up confessing who he is, cause he technically kind of outed himself from what he's been saying. But Megatron says he'll play by their rules, because he wants answers out of Optimus, and he might just kill him for it!

-Zeke is kept underground and interrogated, but doesn't reveal anything, and Reiner and Bertholdt, understandably keep their mouths shut. However, Marley wants to know what the hell happened to Zeke, and that's a whole other issue.

I would like to post bits and pieces from the conversation, but I'll only post my half. I don't want to overstep and post their parts without permission.

Optimus: Roaring at Zeke as a Dinobot Zeke scrambling to run: WHY IS THIS SO MUCH WORSE?! Hanji: TITAN BRAWL!!!

Levi: I looked inside myself to ask "What am I willing to put up with today?" Gestures to Dinobot Optimus NOT FUCKING THIS!

[balmungkriemhild]

Char and Amuro are just The gundam guys like it's not a matter of "which gundam it is" they're the original guys. that's like saying idk which Transformers Optimus Prime and Megatron are from. not scolding you I'm just having a giggle about it

OH WHOOPS my bad my bad i’m. not familiar with gundam sadly

[frostburner]

I find crossovers such an interesting phenomenon. Because there's two main reasons for a crossover to happen, which come from very different places. One is the corporate idea of Cross Brand Promotion, use the popularity of one media to drive sales to another. This is the batman super man team up comics, this is your 3 spinoff shows having their seasonal team up episode, but just as often, it's you Transformers/Ghostbusters two pieces of media and that have nothing in common except they are 80s nostalgia. Versus the second reason which is the fanart/fanfic crossovers which is comes purely from love two unrelated media, purely, there is no real consideration made for how others would see and process the work. Often times most times understanding of both works is required to understand the fan work. A state that's a failure for the prior reason to crossover. Draw you favorite character as a Hades game God, put you favorite YA Protagonist in Hogwartz(blech) or Star wars.

I think this is where the corporate reasons start to fail, when they accidently try to achieve the second in some manner. This has been something that Hasbro has been doing for like the past 10 or so years. Like when IDW went into phase 3 of the 2005 continuity, which showed a rather stark contrast in quality between the Optimus Prime run which had to acquiesce to the Renegades plot lines and the renegades plot lines were needed to understand what was happening in the capstone of Unicron. It it harmed the series a lot because I don't care about fucking Action Man and Rom and M.A.S.K. And related to the Optimus Prime run was the Till All are one run which also largely ignored the Renegades additions, and was fantastic, please Skybound bring Mairghread Scott in for the new series. Where as Lost Light, had very little that effected it from it's transition into phase 3. Largely existing as the same story, and 6 years on from it's conclusion, it's still far better remembered and beloved by the fan base. Honestly every time IDW tried to do a transformers crossover it mostly failed. But the debatable canonicity made them required reading.

Then there's the figures right, with Transformers Collaborative which they've been doing since 2019 has had a few utter duds in the collection right. But also the Ecto-1 and Jurassic Park figures did really well, even though the Jurassic Park figures got kinda mixed reviews. But then you had Ultimate X-Panse that was the X-men figure, which shelf-warmed pretty hard. Or the Universal monsters figures with I still really want the Draculus figure because he is so camp.

But there's some that we're never gonna get with Transformers because they're owned by Hasbro and Takara's competitors. Like I would love to see a comic or manga that's an alternate history of the One Year War from Gundam but the Transformers showed up. It would be really cool and Gundam and Transformers hold a lot of similar ideas to them, but would never see the light of day because Takara and Bandai are rivals. I just think Megatron could make Char worse ya know.

Anyway where the fuck was I going with this?

[belovecore]

Throwing my hat in the ring for an OC if you are accepting them 👀 I love a self-sacrificing character (like a paladin archetype), I also really like characters who are hiding a lot of insecurity. I also like physically strong chars! Guys or ladies either's good

oh boy, oh boy-

i don't know if this is cheating but this guy is fair game-

this is Rocket, more well known as Rocket Pop Prime (no he didn't want to go by Popimus or Rockimus, but a lot of his comrades call him 'Poppy' sometimes)

here's some stuff i wrote for his bio:

rocket is a 'prime' for good reason, he is dedicated to the autobot cause and sacrificed so much for the greater good as needed. this is not without unfortunate loss, rocket has lost not only so many comrades over the years but also a very close sparkmate and chance of sparklings

to be so high up on the ladder requires so much, and as rocket is still able to keep up, he struggles and without constant alert behavior or anxiety to fuel him, he feels he will collapse and not be able to get back up.

rocket holds himself to high standards to never break down, cause if he does, his whole team fails. he fails the autobots, he fails his cause. this sort of thinking is damaging to his psyche and in turn has degraded his health in both ways.

rocket does not completely evade emotions but only sorrow, not admitting it completely for weakness but knowing that crumbling down to that state takes time to build back up. he cannot rest or take a break, that is too much of a risk for him and his team.

but he fails to realize that constantly putting too much pressure will eventually cause a collapse from stress, maybe some day he'll realize he can show his vulnerable side to his team and be accepted, knowing he doesn't have to always be strong for everyone all the time. he deserves a break and to finally stop holding everything together and let others help.

to sorta tldr;

my boy, Rocket- [ my answer to being more calm around Optimus if you will :') ]

hard working guy who has lost so much, and his answer is 'i will make sure no one else will ever have to feel the way i did, cause i know how it feels' versus the approach of 'i have been hurt and i want other to hurt and feel exactly how i did'

dude didn't ask to be a prime, if anything that gives him more anxiety, but he's quite good at hiding that sort of thing and all of his team see him as a pillar of perfection despite him having a lot of trauma and issues expressing himself

he's sweet and would put himself on the line for others, he has don that a countless amount of times

it would just do him some good to get some therapy and take a nap and like, maybe a break i suppose- he's afraid to do so since he feels everything is his fault if something goes wrong

i'm rambling but i hope that helps sum him up, unless you want me to list off random little moments i've written about him

he's holding a lot in, i remember one of my autobot ocs who isn't the best at getting her work done- rocket did his usual schtick of trying to calmly compromise, but she got quite snippy with him-

with all of that building up, he ended up just crumbling in front of her and sobbing his optics out and she freaked out- she didn't mean to literally make her leader, her prime, of all people to be sobbing in front of her because she gave him a slightly hard time

she felt bad after that but that was one of the first times i think rocket ever showed anything outside of his usual hero and leader role

he showed he was a normal mech who has his own problems and imperfections despite how much he tried to hold them in

[jweekgoji]

I keep laughing when I think about the scene where Motorcycle!Reader is so small that they don't have their own charging chamber and have to live in someone else's charging chamber because after all they are so small that they don't take up much space.

TFO!Chars/Motorcycle!Reader [hcs]

tw: none, i guess. word count: ~1600 additional tags: gender neutral reader, cybertronian reader, motorcycle!reader. characters included: B-127, Optimus Prime, Elita-One, Megatron, Sentinel Prime.

That is both a curse and a blessing in my opinion, but well, it depends on whom the tiny reader is stuck with 😋

I mean, >B-127 didn't even have his own place to sleep. All the yellow bot had, was a conveyor belt, which I doubt it was really comfortable, haha. Well then, after just ending Sentinel's regime, the ex-cogless group at least have some places to stay.

When Bee found out you'd be living with him for a while, he was overjoyed! First he made many, many new friends, gained the ability to transform, started working for the government, and now...he has a roommate? A real roommate? The one who can open their mouth when 🐝 talks to them? The day couldn't be any better! (Not that Bee wasn't happy with Steve's company...).

To be fair, Bee himself isn't exactly a bad neighbor either. It all very much depends on what kind of personality you have. If you really get along well with him, despite his extremely emotional state, which sometimes seems to never end, then good luck!

Sharing a chamber with him is going to be an absolute challenge. We remember that he talks in his sleep, don't we? And if Shockwave was so sick of Bumblebee in that short time, imagine how you have to recharge, but now all you can hear, instead of the silence you crave, is constant mumbling into your audio receptors.

Sometimes he's just mumbling about what a cool day he had with Optimus or what an intense training session Elita gave him.

Sometimes you notice how his servos only pull you harder against him. For a moment, you'd probably sigh wearily or try to make some space between you until he starts whispering softly about how happy Bee is to have you in his life. He genuinely, really genuinely loves you. After cycles of being alone, he really misses your company. Will you decide to move him away from you nevertheless?

The next morning, surprisingly, he has no memory of what he told you at all.

> Optimus apologizes to you so much when he finds out that now, unfortunately or thankfully (?), they don't have any time or resources at all to build new quarters. The new Prime has so many new responsibilities that he doesn't even know where to start! He has to clean up and fix Sentinel's mistakes, not to mention his divorce with D-16 Megatron, which has caused him a lot of trouble. But that's okay, our favorite Prime has a solution for that!

And as a good, true leader...yes, yes, you will be the one sharing the room. Lucky, huh? Oh, lucky you.

Optimus is actually one of the best candidates to share a chamber. I find that most of the time, he doesn't have much time to go to his room and fall asleep. You often fall asleep alone, only to wake up later...alone. Was he with you? Did he come in at all? In response to this, you sometimes notice him passed out at his desk. You should definitely tell Elita about this to scold him about such a bad habit.

Actually, he'd be happy to share the charging chamber with you. The thing is, he's extremely shy.

When you fall asleep with him, there's just not enough room! Yeah, you're a pretty small bot, he's just so huge. It takes the two of you a long time to finally find the only comfortable solution.

With you on top of Optimus, you can put your helm on his chassis. The soft shimmer of the Matrix of Leadership doesn't bother you at all; if anything, it calms your nerves. All night long, your leader may never move from his position. He's so afraid he might accidentally hit you if he rolls over or decides to stand up...poor Prime, even Megatron didn't set such dangerous traps for him!

The first few nights, Optimus doesn't sleep much. He's nervous; he thinks up to the late night, but in the end, he can't resist you, and you two can get your well-deserved rest.

I think after Prime, the best candidate for your roommate would be >Elita. I like to think she always sleeps in “mom's pose” (if you know what I mean).

She can lie on her back with her servos on her chassis and not move a muscle all night. Other than that, she's a completely silent sleeper. Sometimes, you can stay up late at night; your shared room is unlit, and you don't want to turn on the lights so as not to disturb her. If she finds out you've been out the whole night instead of recharging, she'll kill you!

You swear you didn't even make the slightest creak, and just then, you see those bright blue optics staring at you in the darkness. Without even seeing her face, you know you're in trouble...She has very sharp hearing, unfortunately for you.

Elita isn't the tallest bot; sure, she's still taller than you, but her frame is pretty slim, unlike the others'. She is not the type to cuddle, even if you are extremely close to her. The most you can expect is her servo around your waist or shoulders.

You can tease her about it, but she'll try to deny everything, saying “just don't want you to fall and hit the floor 🙄” of course we all believe you, Elita!

I can see D-16 being a similar type to Optimus, but Megatron is a different story. I have no idea where our young Decepticon leader went with his guards, but at least they have a few cycles to spend building a base, especially one with all the comforts.

Megatron himself is not a fan of sharing, and when he realizes the problem, he doesn't even ask you if you want him to or not. You will share the chamber with him, period. Should you be worried or happy...?

Megatron, especially if we're talking about a young and inexperienced leader who was only recently forced to leave Iacon, is in need of support. He won't show it in front of anyone, not even you. But you know him enough to know what is troubling him.

He is so isolated, betrayed and saddened, he is afraid to open up to anyone else. And yet, he genuinely wishes someone could just hold him.

Megatron rarely sleeps. 24 hours a day, all he has on his mind is what he should do next. It used to be so easy; the mere thought of it makes him grit his teeth. When there was Sentinel, all that was required was to just follow the protocols. Now, with hundreds of high guard members expecting him to do something, he's lost.

At some point, Starscream or Soundwave will remind him of the importance of rest, and without any enthusiasm, he'll join you.

Now, the two of you are extremely awkward.

Of course, you can't tell much from his looks. Is he asleep? Or still lying there with his optics closed? This awkward silence makes you afraid to move. But the truth is, Megatron himself doesn't know what to do. You're so small compared to him; by some miracle, the two of you can fit, but it's so extremely uncomfortable.

Eventually, he can't stand it and just lifts you up to lay you on top of him. Luckily for him, you have no intention of moving away from him. Perhaps you're afraid; maybe you're okay with this change in positions. Either option is fine with him.

He repeats in his head that this is only temporary...when resources become available, you will get your own separate quarters, and you will be able to sleep separately. And yet, he doesn't want that. Your presence around him, for whatever reason, makes him forget his worries for a while, and he can finally rest.

You may disagree with me, but >Sentinel, no matter how sexy man people try to show him to be, would be just a terrible roommate! If he can even be called a roommate? Sometimes, he forgets that you're resting here too, and even if you remind him of that, he'll pretend to “listen” to you, only to forget after a while.

In fact, he could easily order a separate room for you; he's got plenty of them in his tower, but he's like.... no. He wants you around just because he can. There's no other reason.

I think he's more or less tolerable at first? He likes to keep something small next to him; imagine it like the cybertronian equivalent of plush toys, but only that toy is you. And it seems he may see you as such.

Every night, he can grab you at any time he wants and hold you against him. One time he just held you by his side; another time he decided to put his servo around you; tonight he wanted you on his chassis! The worst part is that his berth is quite spacious. And you can lie on the very far side, only for him to snatch you whenever he wants. Not very funny.

Recharging with him is pretty uncomfortable because those damn wings keep hitting you in the face every night. He's a pretty big bot on his own, and his wings are another big nuisance. Of course, he's not that terrible. Still, his room is very large, and you're probably very cozy, but Sentinel...sigh.

It's funny, but I like to think of him mumbling in his sleep too. Only this time all you can hear from him is about how often he praises himself. Wow.

G1 Transformers S4 notes

Continuation of previous write up: https://at.tumblr.com/blueikeproductions/transformers-g1-s4-notes-set-a-few-years-after/agphdrav3jp3

Micromaster teams.

Both Autobot and Decepticon Micro teams are primarily generics, especially for the Decepticons. Most of the generics are cars and some assorted jets, red for Autobots, purple for Decepticons.

The main Decepticon Micros are the Sports Car Patrol and the Military Patrol. They’re arrogant and dumber than a box of rocks. The Construction Squad assists the Constructicons in maintaining Trypticon and Scorponok. When the Constructicons are permanently fused into a downsized Devastator, the Construction Squad become overwhelmed by the increased workload.

The main reoccurring Microcons are Spaceshot and Blackout, who work directly with Shatter, Backdraft, Cyclonus and Scourge. Being the dim but highly loyal soldier and the cowardly dork, they don’t have the most upstanding fans among the Decepticons, but they mean well. They pilot the anti air craft base that functions as an extension to Trypticon. Greasepit runs a bar, creatively called “Greasepit’s”, in Trypticon’s city mode, and assisted in the study and implementation of Nucleon. Later, with RatBat, he tries running a gas station scam on Earth in an attempt to harvest more energy for the Decepticons, but was foiled by the Bee Team and his own foolishness. When Transforming his gas station into Battle Mode to attack the Autobots, Greasepit wound up using all of the stolen gas just for that alone… The Airwave air port base is also attached to Trypticon and used to deploy Decepticon flyers. It was later hijacked and relocated by Starscream’s team as a base for his own operations.

The main Autobot Micros are Ironworks and the Construction Patrol, who help maintain Autobot City with Wideload and Quickmix. The Rescue Patrol, Hot House, and the Monster Truck Patrol are also reoccurring, with Pretender Eagle Eye being good friends with the chronic complainer Slow Poke. If something needs done, Eagle Eye is usually the one able to coax Slow Poke into it. Medic Fixit of the Rescue Patrol often works with the Bee Team, and suffers from a glitch where he struggles to get the right word out every other sentience. Multiple Tanker Truck and Missile Launcher teams are fixed at Autobot City to supply power and defense. A Tanker Truck filled with Nucleon under the watch of Pipe Line and Gusher was stolen during a Decepticon attack and taken back to Char for experiments. The Astro Squad work alongside Cosmos and Sky Lynx for space missions, and assisted in the original discovery and acquisition of Nucleon with Optimus Prime, Wheeljack and Perceptor. They also were monitoring the black hole when Nucle-Ai emerged from it. Later on the team split in half, with Sky-Lynx’s half investigating increased Quintesson activity while Cosmos’s half stayed to monitor the black hole. Feeling a bit exposed without Sky Lynx, he requested assistance from Countdown and his rocket base when the Decepticons aboard Scorponok made an attempt on the black hole later on.

When Hot Rod was downsized into Micro size by testing Nucleon on himself, he was installed as the commander of the Micromaster patrols. Hot Rod takes to the leadership role with gusto, enjoying another shot at being an Autobot Leader but without the stress of leading the ENTIRE faction. He’s since even returned to going by Rodimus to embrace this, with some Autobots playfully calling him “Rodimus Micronus”. He has a particular affinity with the Race Car and Hot Rod Patrols, and it’s implied Hot Rod named the later after himself to the team’s mild annoyance. When the Bee Team and Nucle-Ai need a Micro’s touch for a mission, they call on Rodimus to pick the best for the job.

A mysterious pair of Micromaster twins would later emerge from the black hole. One called Caliber and the other Scabbard, they combined to form the immensely powerful Nucleon Saber. The Quintessons instead dub it as the “Nucleon Key”, with Nucle-Ai as the “Nucleon Ignition”, and see it as paramount to their plans with dealing with the Transformers once and for all.

The Saber itself seems linked to Nucle-Ai, realizing its full potential when in her presence, and was initially under Autobot custody and wielded by Bumblebee the most. However, a Decepticon attack by Backdraft’s unit trying to acquire the sword saw Scabbard captured by Iguanus and Shellrazor. The reptilian rapscallions assumed they could still use ONE of the twins for their purposes but were berated by Cyclonus and Backdraft for instead creating an unintended stalemate.

In the companion Heathers AU, Dan Braverman has been looking for the Nucleon Saber to add to his collection. Caliber was sold as a pack in accessory for an Autobot, a special Nucleon Mode Pretender Bumblebee, while Scabbard was sold with a Decepticon, a Nucleon Mode Pretender Starscream which instead used a unique human woman Pretender shell seen in an off beat plot in the comics based on the S4 storyline. This Starscream was hard to find, making it difficult to fully assemble the sword for kids and collectors. When comparing the Heathers to the Decepticons, Chandler is the draconian Backdraft, McNamara is the withdrawn Shellrazor, with Dan specifically comparing Duke to the female Starscream toy because of the toy’s green colors and Duke’s Starscreamish tendencies.

#IIRK it was PG-13 but still#tearing a guy in half is usually R lol

Oh sweet summer child. They've been doing this since 1986.

The first animated film alone got away with violently gunning down several major characters in the first 10 minutes! Including one barely offscreen shot of Megatron shooting Ironhide's head point blank. With the Fusion Cannon. One character is blasted so hard he's burnt into a charred crisp that crumbles to dust. Another explodes.

In the third season, Optimus shows up as a zombie whose body is horribly mangled onscreen.

Beast Wars had a character get stabbed in the heart, leading to him exploding. Then the character who did the stabbing's destroyed remains float to the surface. Another is hit by an explosion and has his charred head shown next episode.

Armada had Optimus crumble into dust in one episode. In Energon Hot Shot briefly loses an arm. In Prime, a character is stabbed to death in the first episode, has his corpse resurrected as a zombie, which is then dismembered.

And that's not going into the many many times someone was maimed in a way. Or the tamer deaths that they could never have done.

In short, Transformers has always gotten away with a lot of violence they'd never be able to get away with if the characters were human.

Another thing I really have to give TF One credit for is the sheer amount of violence they got away with by virtue of all their characters being robots. Like, where else could our deuteragonist-turned-final-boss literally rip the villain in half on-screen and walk away with a PG rating?
