Terraformer AU: Basic 1

Masterlist

Just so you have an idea and I don't forget it

Rodimus' conjux (it's a miracle that they did complete the ritual and every step of it without even noticing that they did so before the final step, but they did it splendidly anyway) died by protecting their kid, Sunset, who got to see the whole deal in front of him, is ironic how good their relationship was and if they had time they could have another kid, but Rod is the only one, at least for now, to have his conjunx killed way too young (68 years), either way Rodimus does a very good job raising Sunset as a single parent (Sunny was like 7 or 9 when everything happened) but he also had the whole crew to help him, (also a reason of why Sunset is way more cool in die or fight situations when everyone else is freaking out), Sunset wants to enlist in the elite guard to protect new Cybertron and Rodimus just want his kid in the ship to show him the expansion of the universe, Sunset doesn't want that but doesn't say much because he knows that his father can have a spark attack if he ever told him about his desire to be part of the EG, as if he didn't live and sleep with danger by only live in the Lost Light

Optimus (well Orion on his good ending) never got to finish the conjux ritual with his s/o since he got to remember who he was as a Prime and stopped everything at the last second to prevent his s/o to be a target of his past enemies while getting his spark broken when his s/o understands the whole idea and really does go (what was he expecting?), but the Senate needs a light for the future with humans since the war and the necessity of earth now more than ever, that's why Codexia is born when Optimus s/o gets her spark out of the hot spot and later on she gets her name as Eminence Prime (since the Matrix is gone, Prime is a military and religious title), which she hates because it stole her born given namefrom her carrier, Optimus gets his sparkling feelings but tells her that everyone is counting on her and that he is so, so proud of her because Codexia is being so strong, it's hard to even say so to his still young sparkling but he knows she is the real change that everyone needs, one that he has died for to give life, Optimus' s/o dies of old age with him right there, professing his love for the last time.

Prowl does complete the conjux ritual (to everyone's surprise, really), but tries to control his relationship a lot and also his kid, Chainbreaker, an outlier, trying to make him learn everything that he could, arts, laws, sports, philosophy, you name it, Prowl made CB do it to the point of near perfection believing that his son was having a better environment and development for his future, not even once asking what he really wanted just because he wanted CB to do everything that he could ever want and kind of forced him in doing so (Prowl was pretty inconsistent in that just because CB could learn anything), at some point Prowl and his conjunx fall apart and his s/o returns to earth, it hurts him a lot but he tries to hide it and forget his failed marriage in work, CB stayed with him by his own volution (he wanted to make Prowl proud of him by any means and was a little too complacent even when Prowl never asked him to stay in the first place) before the kid finally had enough and decided to go to earth too when he noticed that he would never get the attention he wanted from his sire, CB and you get closer during his time in Earth as he gets closer and more accepting to his organic side (CB gets to be a lot like tfa Prowl, he also draws the line with meat), staying with his carrier till the very end, Prowl didn't even know his conjunx passed away of old age when CB confronted him for not being in his own conjunx death bed, and it hurts, but he doesn't show it, Chainbreaker gives up on his father finally, believing that not even his carrier meant at least something for him.

Jazz's conjunx didn't even know in what kind of mess they were tangled at first (way too young when they meet but getting the feelings, it was one sided before Jazz realized years later that this human looked at him funny), already had a kid before the ritual, never say if it's biological or if they found the baby after the war, don't ask, it's their baby anyways and even when Pauline is totally human she is Jazz's, whoever says something different is asking for trouble, then they had Amber Dust when he emerged from a hot spot and Jazz liked the kid, (surprise! new kid that is already a grown up bot but still needs a mentor, the culture whiplash is real), then when techno-organics are know, Jazz asked his conjunx right away if they could have one, that's how they got Mariah, (Jazz still keeps Mexico and his people in a special place on his spark) who later on changed her name to Black Mariah, Jazz's conjunx is still alive and they are so in love that it's disgusting to see from time to time (they like to gross everyone around as a joke, that includes their kids)

Blurr got a hard time trying to woo his conjunx, it took years that will never come back and he tries to spend as much time together than ever now that they relationship is stable, they really think and consider a lot before having a kid, Blurr and his conjunx have Marble Ripley first, she is genetically related to Blurr's conjunx because she was born in vitro but she somehow takes after him in a lot of things from his personality, especially when she tries to be cool but is a ball of nerves, when Ferventi Typhoon (or Ty for his friends), is pulled out of the hot spot years later, and even when Blurr took a lot of time and options to name his kids with meaningful names, no one could have thought of a better name when the protoform literally expulsed a wave of hot concentrated boiling water and air in one shot when he did a strange sound (baby sneezed), Blurr is just too happy to be the only one near when you were in another room when it happens, it peeled off his finish but it was fixed later (it hurt like hell), following the story Blurr does die saving others and his family from Unicron's attack, (but in this one he lives happily with his family).

Dinobot didn't even initiated the ritual, but there was something going on with the human helping with their portal with many more humans, but his pride as a bot never allowed him to go there and say something meaningful, at some point the one human that Dinobot likes (he will never admit it to his dead berth) appears and shows him a miniature human, a baby, with no one else (he doesn't understand, in his world the new ones, if they are left alone, should fend for themselves), he realizes the kid looks human but smells like a cybertronian, you never say a word of who is the kid's sire and he never asked, (he likes to think that he didn't care but in reality it's jealousy showing around) he wants the cub away when once he tried to climb him and scratches his derma with his little talons, those are nails you tell him but the name stayed and he ends up putting a name to your child, growling to keep him away, it's nothing personal, he just can't process the fact that someone got to you first and then left you with a cub to fend for yourself, the audacity! Then one day Unicron appears and the portal isn't working, the whole human crew goes to fix it to get some eukarians to escape, Dinobot is among them but you get consumed right after pleading him to take your cub, Talon, with him, he still ends up under Unicron's control like all his people and does unimaginable and dishonorable things, one is that he abandoned Talon, when he is free again the first thing he does is search for Talon even if he doesn't know if the kid is alive and when he does find him, Dinobot is way too close to crying, he raises him, Dinobot lost you even before accepting what he felt, and he is going to raise and protect Talon with all his being because he is everything Dinobot has left of you.

Whirl, as strange as it can be, is quite good as a single mentor of Tik Tok, who really is a group of sentient scraplets that took a cybertronian form and life, lived quite good with his two friends, Cyclonus and Tailgate, before he got to know his conjunx, it still is a mystery how Whirl started a relationship with his s/o but apparently his conjunx does show the ability to stop him before doing any stupid thing, which is something that makes Cyclonus also like them, Tailgate doesn't count, he only hears that Whirl is trying to woo a human and is already choosing a wedding gift (Tailgate is the one that ships you two even before there was even something, Cyclonus just goes with the flow because Whirl looks happy, as happy as he can show at least), Tik Tok have a little bit of problems with her new step mentor but can't say much because this human is really the best that could have ever happened to her mentor, (she will still ask you from time to time what did you saw in Whirl or if you were high when you fragged him for the first time), you both go to see the forging of new sparklings and Whirl takes one that was left behind out of curiosity, going like "Tik Tok was once just as little" before you stopped him, too late, he already took out the spark and you touched it, it was funny but also understandable when Cyclonus fainted, Tik Tok started laughing maniacally and Tailgate started to cry by happiness when you two appeared with Whirl Jr. (She is the bebe), it's Whirl's conjunx work to make him accept that Jr. wants to go to Earth to be a rescue bot and see her off, all the family can go to see her sometimes and she will be home for summer vacation (Whirl is that kind of dad to display his arsenal of guns if his baby gets a mech in the house, she is way too young!)

my magnum opus: metalocalypse x transformers crossover

aka the most metal death metal band in the galaxy

separate designs + a bit of lore under cut

it's geared more towards metalocalypse fans, but if you haven't watched the show or don't feel like reading just enjoy the designs :)

it would be weird if they still had human names so 60% of my creativity went into making up new ones

au is based on idw 2005 comics, i'll put the canon lore into square brackets

[short history summary:

cybertron was ruled by functionists. they believed you must live according to your vehicle mode. so if you're a cement mixer, you will mix the damn cement until the end of time or else

eventually, a miner-turned-gladiator megatron said: "guys this is bullshit, everyone should have equal opportunities in life". a lot of people shared his opinion, so he gathered an army, named them decepticons, assassinated the government and the civil war broke out. it lasted four million years, a whole bunch of war crimes was committed on both sides. also megatron stopped giving a shit about equality and turned into a tyrant but that's irrelevant

post-war cybertron population was like.. 100 times smaller and had a hard time adapting to civilian life. maybe death metal wouldn't fix them but it would sure be cathartic]

SCRAGMUG, being a humble cement mixer, really vibed with megatrons ideas about equality and emancipation and all that. in reality decepticons assigned him on construction work again, with the only difference that he could get caught in artillery fire now. he compensates with making up heroic stories about losing his arm every chance he gets

war was kind of a social lift for DETONATE: he went from odd security guard jobs to elite decepticon storm troop. while he never cared about ideology, end of war still leaves him confused on what to do with his life now. therapy is for pussies, so he pours his ptsd into gory poetry on his secret datapad

he met scragmug once in a prison cell before the war, they both got into a mass brawl. the cement mixer talked his audial off while detonate stoically listened. decepticons soon opened the prison gates and scragmug left thinking they are besties for life (he didn't even get yelled at!)

DOUBLEKICK is from junkion, a literal garbage-dump of a planet where all fauna will try to eat you! its culture is 15% scavenging, 15% cannibalism and 70% earth tv. he had a pretty good relationship with his twin triplesnap, until this rat accidentally burned down an important storage building and blamed it on his bro

conveniently, decepticons were recruiting junkions at the time, so doublekick escaped the ostracism by enlisting as a mechanic. he became fast friends with scragmug and after the war they went to cybertron together, where he set up a workshop.

[short digression on spark bonds since this pair of fruits has one:

sparks are transformers' souls and hearts simultaneously, extuinguished spark = death. it's located in a spark chamber in the middle of a chest and powers the body.

there are two kinds of spark bonds: conjux endura and amica endura. first is similar to spouses, second - to best friends. to become amicas, you must perform a ritual: bare your spark to your friend, invite them to share your light and tell them how much you appreciate them :]

the guitarists are from camian, cybertron's long-lost distant colony, so the war didn't touch them at all. luckily for them, camian places a lot of value into art and culture. unluckily, it is also required to find an amica in 10 megacycles (about 93 hours!!) or face ostracisation. it's a religious thing

WINTERSUN has a total of three interests in life: flying fast, playing guitar fast, and fragging. social stigma would significantly limit the pool of sexual partners, so he chose his amica based on guitar skill. turned out this doesn't make a solid foundation for a healthy relationship. after a particularly nasty fight wintersun compulsively left for cybertron

SCRAPFANG has always dreamed of flying, he used mountains as springboards so he could get into the air for a few seconds. with this comes fangirling about planes, so he was ecstatic when a magnificent white jet became his amica, and making music together was amazing! he's determined to find wintersun, apologise and fix everything

... ok i also have a 1000 word google doc on how they all got together but no one will read that shit so i'm planning to illustrate some highlights from it. and design charles and maybe some other characters too. follow me for more robot art

+ bonus height chart, they're big boys!

I WANT BREAKDOWNA ND BUMBLEBEE HAVE A CONJUX ENDURA RITUAL AT THE FINALE OF THE FINAL SEASSON OF EARTHSPARK!!!! I AM NOT NORMAL ABOUT THEM!!!

[captainseamech]

             “Now I don’t understand why are you Earthlings so obsessed with knowin’ every single piece o’ detail from us, especially when our relationships are mentioned. To us, we can choose t’ do a ritual to prove we are either Amica Endura, Conjux Amica or Conjux Endura. This is also shown in form of gifts as well, but our EM fields are capable of lettin’ our relationships status be known to other Cybertronians. In some occasions we might even consider ourselves in a relationship status without any of that.”

             “Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen how ye do it. Ye throw big parties and stuff, there are people assigned with specific clothes n’ gifts for the bride, the place is nicely decorated and there’s even lots of food there. I have t’ admit, this is quite interestin’ and I do understand the immediate frustration when somethin’ gets ruined in that day.”

             “I just don’t get why was all of that necessary t’ give each other the same wedding ring, as if the groom didn’t already place it in the bride’s hand when askin’ in marriage. Unless that’s yer usual ritual when considerin’ each other officially Conjux Endura since ye don’t have any EM fields like us.”

             “....”

             “... Hm. Sorry, I think I went on a bit offa tangent for a second. Maybe I’m just too old to comprehend.”

[ikkosu]

Hellooo Ikko, how are you ? I've been trying to come up with appropriate questions to get to know your robot husbands for a while now but I feel like an idiot every time I write one down because I can't tell if it's elementary knowledge or not sooo can you give me a very basic primer on how things work around here ? For reference, I don't even know what a valveplug is, have no clue about conjux endurae and I only know Pharma and Prowl (your husband) so I think we have a lot to cover here. Love your new pfp btw!

Glad you love it!! It took me a while to muster up the courage to swap. I still miss the old one though.

Also it's okay if it's complicated at first 😭 trust me, getting into his fandom requires knowledge of the canon and the fanon too lmaoo. And the fanon isn't so little either 😭, it's as complicated as the cabon with the terminologies which is why I always adore reading original fanon works. It's almost always better than the original ones.

and a writer of the mtme comics (an idw tf comics series) used to write transformers fanfiction, can you believe that? If you're curious, it's called Eugenesis and I don't know what to say about it yet since Im only on the first chapter 💀 and it's certainly interesting...

Anyways, things get complicated so I'll only explain some surface level stuff. Me just jotting down stuff from the top of my head dhjsiwks.

So, basically in fanon stuff because in canon there's no way hasbro is giving them actual dicks, cybertronians have an interface panel. their version of a built in panty that just slides open and close for use. It's located around the crotch, the rectangular shaped thing and when it opens it reveals two interface array/ port (genitals) : a valve (vagina) and a spike (dick).

Though, gender isn't really much a thing in their society, female Cybertronians also have a spike and a valve (in fanon, of course). And there's also other ways writers make the bots fuck. Some writers prefer ports over spike/valve, a different method of fucking that involved plugging and wireplay? I guess, I am not that knowledgeable enough to explain ( I will read more I swear)

So if you write anything explicit, nsfw in the fandoms tf writers will use the tag #valveplug to indicate it's nsfw. And maccadam (lorewise, it's an oil house, basically like a bar where Cybertronians go to drink energon and chat etc. I heard it's used because everytime tf pops up it's just Megan fox because of the movie 😭 and people wanted fandom centric things and not that)

Going into Cybertronian culture is not my forte, but I do know a little. it's a given they interact differently when it's comes to love and relationships. They take these things seriously. Amica endurae : best friend, and Conjux is basically your wife/husband and they'll have to undergo a ritual. And it's canon! :D examples of relationships are Chromedome/Rewind, Ratchet/Drift are just a few . There's many more but I forgor

Cybertronians express emotions through emp field since they don't have a heart but a spark. A spark is kind like a soul? So it's like a magnetic field. when they 'feel' things, other mechs can also feel it as well. they can pull it close to them when they're uncomfortable or expand it to assert domination — just some of the things they do.

Relationships in Transformers gets complicated when there's Sparkbonding involved. I do not know much about that djidskfhkwn so dshsjsja

Some terms, Servo : hand, helm : head, pedes : feet, breem : hour, joor : months, klik : seconds.

There's also many robot husbands!!! Optimus, (iconic dad) Soundwave, Megatron, Ultra Magnus and more :DD

Also, you've just given me the signal I need to learn more about Cybertronian culture LMAOAOA

[lycoris-artcorner]

With how Earthspark tends to take notes from idw I would love to see Bumblebee & Breakdown evoke Amica Endurae ritual on screen that would be beautiful (delusional)

Also manifesting introduction of Conjux Endurae through Ratchet & Drift, let Terrans learn Cybertronian culture 😭

[transingthoseformers]

Poor Rewind is one of Blaster's cassettes. He did not expect to be on the bridge for that call. That his conjux was a deep cover agent who got discovered and Domesticated by the DJD. Dominus is being returned in a prisoner exhange. He's torn between horror, elation, and bouncing through random stages of greif like a supper bouncy ball on speed.

Pharma showing up with the bitty in his cockpit to prisoner exchange. He's at least had a cursory wipe down but he still has smudges of purple. Pharma has no idea how he even feels about the bitty other than relieved it's not purple. As he's being walked to the halfway point Soundwave hands him an energon spattered crate. "Recompense offered: fulfills Deceticon law." It has Tarn's vaulve array, gestational tank still attached. Pharma just looks at him like dafuk? "Explanation: Gladiators forced to carry or stud sparklings pre-war. Decepticon law: Pharma entitled to salient anatomy from Tarn." Pharma looks dully at Soundwave "Why?" "Target Practice: comon. Ritual Smelting: very popular. Interface aid: strongly discouraged but occurs."

Ratchet's bustling Pharma and the bitty into the medical bay prety when Prowl and OP show up to debrief. Not only are they dodging wrenches, poor Dominus is seting up a fearful ruckus in his crate, but Pharma sees Prowl and pounces bitty still in his cockpit.

"You! You! Yooouuu! This is all your fault! You knew the DJD were there! You're Prowl! You had toooo!" This is the first flash of emotion to break through Pharma's flat dull affect. Optimus is able to keep him from from clawing Prowl's optics out while Ratchet chaces Prowl out of the medbay. Once Prowl is out of sight Optimus has his arms full of a sobbing jet.

Yep, oh rewind

I mean... it's (slightly) (slightlyy) better circumstances than canon? And i feel like Doms will live this time around

I. shit they barely cleaned him up, that's gotta be such a feeling to be Pharma.

*choking noises* soundwaveee

No mercy for Tarn

wow this au's dark, we are evil

So Tarn's been spayed n neutered

Target practice: common is gonna stick with me today because may i suggest this option for Pharma.

Ratchet being an MVP like soundwave

PROWL

Oppy's here for him, Prowl's gonna have to answer some unhappy questions soon enough

[magnetoeisenhardt]

In the IDW 1 continuity, Cybertronians do a ritual (Amica Endura for friendship or Conjux Endura for romance) to bind themselves to each other, in a way thats roughly analogous to marriage. The vast majority of Cybertronians do not have an Endura (except on some colonies where it’s basically mandatory). The majority of Endura are platonic (and non exclusive), and most Cybertronians don’t have romantic (or familial) relationships. Of the canon Cybertronian romantic relationships in IDW, all of them are same gender.

The gender thing is a little more complicated. The original team in charge of IDW 1 was extremely misogynistic, and hated the idea of female transformers. As a result, all Transformers were male. However, later writers (correctly) though this was stupid, and introduced female transformers via trangenderism.

The in universe explanation is that Cybertronians do not reproduce, and thus originally had no concept of gender. This means that they weren’t necessarily all male, because they had no concept of male. They were all basically “default” gender, which is read as male (which is accidentally good commentary). Then, they encountered species with sexual dimorphism, and some Cybertronians thought that was awesome and decided to become female. Some of these female Cybertronians founded colonies where female was the new default. Cybertronians forged (created) on these colonies didn’t choose to be female.

The extreme isolation between colonies/refugees/combatants during the four million year long civil war meant that most Cybertronians wouldn’t encounter a Cybertronian of another gender during that period. Many Cybertronians were forged during this period, so they would not be aware of their options.

Arcee was initially force-femmed by her evil twin as part of his torture scheme, but she later says that she’s actually happier female, so that part worked out for her in the end.

Not even an obsessive Transformers nerd or anything but do all the newbies getting onboarded by all this Megatron/Optimus yaoi in the wake of Transformers One know about Cyclonus and Tailgate? Because if not someone should really tell them.

[cybertronian-cupid]

hey um, i saw that requests were open and im still not sure if this will get through but, can i have a tfp megs with an s/o who is really into things relating to collars and leashes?,, im sorry if this has already been done before, i just really want to see how it plays out !!

im really sorry about how i type, it just gets embarrassing to ask for stuff like this :(

Anon, the way you type is perfectly fine, and let me tell you that I couldn't get enough of this request (it also reminded me of this anon thirsting). Since I couldn't choose how to write it, here a both sub & dom s/o headcanons.💥

These did get lenghty, but a fave is a fave and there is surprisingly more to the whole collars and leashes thing... Master dynamics and more fun jazz*cackles* ~Gregoria🏩

............................. ....................... ............................

Submissive S/O:

When his S/O says they want to wear a collar during sex he is amused. His dirty talking and growling will be full of different nicknames.

He wants to see what really gets them going; are they his loyal pet? Servant? Slave? He has them on a leash already, it'll just take a tug in the right direction for them to roll over and please him.

His favourite thing is seeing them present the collar to him, and how their eyes practically light up when he fastens it around their neck and hoists them up by it.

When he isn't mass displaced he finds the way they look precious. Almost makes him forgive their slip ups during training.

He won’t let them kiss him until he wants it and if they don’t come to him fast enough he will yank their leash. He won’t give them what they want until they learn to behave, and the more he has to pull, the more careful he has to be, and so he’ll indulge them less.

Standing in a corner becomes a challenge of its own, since they have to look properly sorry when he asks them if they’ve learned their lesson. If they ask nicely enough, he’ll treat them as rough as they want the next time they behave.

He does have to replace the leashes too often for his liking, mostly because they snap too easily. Chains are the exception, but those limit the amount of punishments. And the eventual bite imprints on the leather when his S/O brings him the leash are a big part of his fun.

When they say they’ve been considering more than just using play collars, he needs a proper explanation for what they mean.

Once they explain the significance and steps of collaring, he needs a moment to process it. Humans have… many courting rituals it seems.

As their Master he will make sure his property is treated well, if they are certain they want this.

He gets them a new training collar to wear around the ship and takes great delight in both their embarrassment and the way he can make full use of their arousal once they are back in his quarters.

He tells them exactly what kind of collars they'll go and buy for themself for when they are out of his sight and rewards them accordingly when they return with a variety for him to approve of.

They end up owning a pretty little collar for nearly every occasion, and when they are outside of the Nemesis they can pick between the many velvet, studded, leather or simple jewelry chokers they bought on his instructions.

Each of them has his name in Cybetronian glyphs engraved on it. Subtle enough for them to always remember who they belong to, and not suspicious to the point of alerting the autobots.

Onboard the ship they have strict rules that are in effect as soon as they set one foot inside.

Training in confidence and demeanor is the first thing he begins with. Posture collar and a corset secured by a thick chain is something that they wear every time he takes them to the command bridge.

When he does give them a formal collar, it's made out of a part of his armour with a conjux vow etched into the metal. They are branded with the Decepticon insignia, either burned or tattooed into their skin. Whichever it is, he monitors and helps with the healing process of the mark.

Soon after they are fully healed he might indulge them in attending a bigger party hosted by the community. During their training he has attended smaller events more often, but he has a war to win, an army to run and minimal amounts of patience for other humans.

They are allowed to keep contact and interact with the other submissives, pets, slaves and the like, but aside from a dominant he deemed trustworthy enough to keep an eye on them, they are not allowed to speak to any of the others attending the events. Weeks of receiving the barest of attention are not worth it.

............................. ....................... ............................

Dominant S/O:

He's suspicious at first. They aren't the first to imagine or want to see him wearing something like that. They are however the first partner to outright say it and not backtrack when he challenges them about it, or shy away from actually discussing it with him.

The first time he does mass displace, just to give them a bit of advantage. He doubts wearing a collar will actually do anything for him, especially with the kind they chose. He expected a regular thick chain, and they got what looks like a thick leather belt.

He finds their improvisation amusing and intriguing, especially when they manage to fasten it in place with surprising ease and speed.

The training is relatively boring at first, since they seem set on "fixing" his daily routines: refueling, recharge time and similar nonsense, when he could instead focus on running battle simulations and revising plans and possible locations of the autobot base. His remark over this counting as part of recharge doesn't go unpunished.

The sessions with less training are mostly teasing and playful, with him intentionally disobeying and pushing his s/o's buttons and letting himself be manhandled.

They've broken a cane and a number of paddles after they eventually decide to touch his spike, but a punishment was still in order. He actually overloaded while counting the strikes on one occasion and had to work hard for them to play with him again. Playing didn't mean he got an overload from them however.

His behaviour changes for the better when S/O actually gets him a proper play collar in his size to wear when he isn’t mass displaced.

How did they do it, where did they get it? Doesn’t matter, because with the way they are looking at him when he puts it on he doesn’t plan on asking too many questions.

Once he’s relaxed he’ll do anything and everything they say perfectly, as long as it ensures they keep their attention on him.

He was genuinely shocked to find just how distressed he was by the lack of it during one scene, and he had no idea how to handle the much longer aftercare that followed. When the two of them were reestablishing boundaries there was much frustration involved, simply on account of him being stubborn.

He might get ready for them on occasion. Seeing his S/O coo at how eager he is on those days he waits for them with his collar on, does funny things to his frame.

Put him on a leash when he’s at the peak of his heat. Do it, he’ll be a desperate, dripping mess just from having the collar and leash in sight and will overload as soon as he gets the order to put it on.

He won’t do any sort of branding or such. If, and that is a big if, he’d ever consider wearing a mark that is not of his cause, it would have to be after conjuxing his human.

Friction marks or scratches on his plating however? He doesn’t mind those at all. He even finds S/O a bit too pushy if they keep checking in about his comfort and the marks left around his neck cabling. There was quite some improvisation involved for them to be able to do anything in the first place, might as well let their dedication show.

He was the one to ask about the events and parties, and took great pride at the reaction to his holoform, and the following boost of his S/O's reputation in the community due to his appearance and stellar behaviour.

His S/O being the one to wear a key to his (mass displaced) collar on them at all times, with a shiny metal tag bearing his name, has his engines run hotter. Knowing they are powerful enough that he can call them his Keeper with certainty, and knowing they are aware of how quickly the tables can turn if they betray his trust is a special kind of high.

Correction tools are a must with him during play. Even if he is well behaved, being the center of attention just by wearing the collar is already a reward of its own, so an ocassional reminder of who's in control might be neccesary

When or if the training extends out of the bedroom, his S/O will rarely find he didn’t follow the orders to look after himself when they are away. It does benefit his overall performance on the battlefield, keeps his temper mostly in check and he gets their praise on top of it all? No reason to disobey then.

If anyone asks why they wear a sturdy chain belt with an additional chain attached to Megatron’s armour, it is most definitely just a safety precaution in case they fall off. No other reason at all~ ;)

During high stakes the rules have to be either negotiated or undergo slight changes. His S/O picks up on the source of his frustrations easily and most times suggests changes before he even brings it up, reaffirming that yes, in this regard he can calmly let them take the lead.

Dratchet's Conjux Ritual 🌸🌸🌸

I wanted to keep Drift's look more traditional (meaning the fanon Cybertronian traditions that I came up with in my head) and Ratchet's look simpler and more modern

And crystal flowers from Crystal City are a must

Hello! I am alive! I have not been writing as much lately because life has been kicking my ass but here’s a little TFA Megop post-war peace time drabble I wrote a while back featuring Halcyon! Please enjoy! 

Something is poking his face. 

Or rather someone is poking his face.

Megatron onlines his optics to find Halcyon standing at the edge of his berth and whispering, “Carrier, carrier, wake up.”

“What is it, little one?” he asked, rubbing his optics. He checked his internal chronometer. It was early in the morning. He had another four megacycles before he had to get up. The berth beside him was empty as Optimus had been sent out on yet another diplomatic mission. While Megatron had argued that he should be entitled to go as well, the planet in question did not like Cybertronians to begin with, let alone former Decepticons, so he had been told to remain at home. Halcyon had sobbed watching her sire leave and not even Megatron had been able to calm her. She had ended up passing out on his lap mere cycles later.

“I had a bad dream. Can I recharge with you?” Before he could even answer she was edging her way onto the berth, her beloved stuffed turbofox held tight in her servos.

“Of course, sweetspark,” he sighed, allowing her to climb onto his chest. He smiled at her and said, “But I do not recall Swiftfox asking if they could join as well.”

“Swiftfox is not sentient and does have auto-autonom-can’t think for themself so they can’t ask,” she replied, already curling up on the protoform there. He had begun recharging without certain pieces of his armor, a feat he would have never done before or during the war. But now, with peace on Cybertron and its colonies, he had slowly begun to allow himself to slip into recharge with exposed protoform.

“Ah, I see. And the word you are trying to pronounce is ‘autonomy’,” he replied, bringing a servo up to rest it across her back. She was growing larger every solar cycle. Before, he could cover her entirely with one servo. Now a servo covered only her back with her limbs and helm springing out from under it.

“Autonomy,” she muttered against his chest. She had firmly planted her helm over his spark, likely seeking out the heat and pulses from it like she did when she was a sparkling.

He was beginning to drift back into recharge when he felt her digits ghosting across the scar on his protoform. He was about to tell her to stop when he heard her quietly ask, “What’s this from?”

“It’s from when I got stabbed,” he said, “and your sire had to save my life using the Allspark.”

“Who stabbed you? Did it hit your spark?”

“An enemy named Galvatron. He sought to destroy all of us—Autobots, Decepticons, neutrals, everyone. He wanted to take control of Cybertron and feed the planet to the Chaos Maker, Unicron,” he said. He was skipping a couple of details but she would learn them eventually. “Your sire offlined him but not before he was able to stab me all the way down to my spark. It hit my spark, not entirely, but about halfway, and I began to go offline. But then your sire retrieved the Allspark and used it to revive me.”

“And that was when you two got bonded?” she asked. Her optics were wide and sparkled as she gazed up at him.

He chuckled. “Not quite. We had been in the middle of the Conjux Ritus and when I awoke in the medbay your sire was ready to complete his part and ask me to bond with him. I still had to complete my part but I said yes to him then and there.” He moved his servo resting on her back up to her helm to gently pat it and try and get her to go to recharge. “As soon as I could walk again I began completing my rituals and we had a bonding ceremony once most of Cybertron had been rebuilt from the battle. Well, we had two ceremonies.”

She yawned before asking, “Why two?” Her optics were growing dim and she had gone slack against him.

“We had a private one for our close friends and then we had a public one for the people of Cybertron. Our bonding was meant to show that the war had truly ended and a new era had emerged on Cybertron.” Her optics had offlined and her venting had become stable. He was sure she had gone into recharge. “And then, just twenty decacycles after becoming bonded, we found out that you were joining us.”

He saw a smile flash across her face before going slack again. He moved his servo onto her back again and let himself fall into recharge.

He woke some megacycles later to the feeling of Halycon stirring on his chest, wiggling her way off of him. He onlined his optics in time to watch Halcyon land onto the floor and excitedly whisper, “I heard the door—sire is home!”

She raced out of the room with a speed and energy he wished he still had. He slowly stretched and rose up to his pedes and wandered into the main room. Optimus was back and holding Halcyon, who clung tightly to his chest. “Welcome back,” he purred leaning in for a kiss.

Their daughter wiggled from between them, dropping to the floor and announcing, “Oh! Oh! Sire, watch what I learned!”

Optimus looked over to watch as she rushed towards the balcony, throwing the doors open and running towards the railing. He gasped in horror as Halcyon jumped off the balcony.

“Holy frag!” he screamed, breaking away from Megatron to run after her. Megatron simply sighed heavily, following after him. Halcyon had engaged her thrusters and was hovering by the balcony’s railing, smiling broadly at Optimus’s shocked expression. Megatron reached out, grabbing Halcyon and pulling her in.

“Sweet spark, I have told you multiple times to not do that without having someone to spot you,” he said, pulling her close to his chest. “Your thruster engagement time is still so slow.”

“You’re both trying to offline me,” Optimus sighed, taking Halcyon into his arms. “You are getting very good at flying but you have to give me more warning before you do something so daring.”

“Okay,” she said. “Here’s a warning.”

She jerked herself backwards, diving over the edge of the balcony and taking her sire with her. Optimus shrieked as they began to fall but was stopped at the last minute by Megatron grabbing him around the waist and hauling them all onto the floor of the balcony.

“Halcyon, do not drag grounders out into open air,” he scolded her. “Especially not your sire.”

And how did Blitzwing meet his Trine? (as far as I know, Blitz is the youngest)

What was his Carrier like? (a good mother?)

What exactly happened to his Carrier? (did he/she go offline before or during the war?)

And his Sire is a @ # $ &!

Although I do not know the reasons for his absence, but just in case.

(I'm sorry for the long ask)

All of this is kind of connected to each other. (and don't worry about the long asks! I love this kind of thing!)

Blitzeis was a tank and Rattlewing was a seeker. When Blitzeis was carrying Blitzwing so did her frame make it hard for his spark to split as her frame wasn’t really made to carry three sparks (seeker frames are designed to do this), so Blitzwings spark never split making him a lone seeker.

Rattlewing’s trine was quite hostile against grounders, saying they were inferior to flyers. This scared Rattlewing (who has the backbone of a chocolate eclair) so he never dared to tell them he was having a sparkling with a grounder. Then his trine decided to join the cons and the war. Rattlewing didn’t dare to tell them he wanted to stay on Cybertron and not join for his conjux and sparkling so he told Blitzeis (who had just gotten Blitzwing just a short time ago) that he was leaving.

Blitzeis got furious, calling him a coward and telling him to never contact her or Blitzwing again and that she was glad he was leaving so his cowardness would not rub off on Blitzwing. Rattlewing left but kept sending money to Blitzeis in secret in an attempt to support her.

Blitzeis not knowing how to take care of a sparkling seeker seeked out another grounder who had only gotten one seeker sparkling and made the two Blitzwing and them playmates. This was how Blitzwing met his first trine mate. 

When Blitzwing was a teenager (whatever that is in cybetronian years) , so did Blitzeis get killed during a bar brawl. She had worked as a bouncer at that bar and a fight had gotten ugly and she was killed in the crossfire.

She wasn’t a bad carrier, but she also left a lot to be desired. She didn’t really know how to raise a seeker which made it hard for her to take care of Blitzwing. Also now as the lone creator so did she have to take extra jobs so she could take care of the two of them, making her spend very little time with Blitzwing. She also was heart broken from Rattlewings ‘betrayal’ and held a lot of resentment in her spark that she never really got over which affected Blitzwing in a lot of different ways. When blitzwing also got older did he adopt her stubbornness making the two of them butt heads a lot which put another strain on the relationship. 

She however loved him with her entire spark and he knew that even if their relationship got very sour at times.

When she died so did Blitzwing move in with his trine mate.

Later when Blitzwing was walking home from a bar did he see a seeker getting beaten up in the street by some none warframes (this was during the war but it was still early so warframes were still around on cybertron). Blitzwing jumped into the fight. He and the other seeker won but Blitzwing got one of his front denta knocked out in the procees. When that happens you should try to put it back in your mouth but Blitzwing couldn’t find it and the seeker as thanks for the help started to help him look. They never found it but as they searched they started to talk and formed a connection. Turned out the other seeker had no trine, and Blitzwing suggested that he should join his. It was a bit of a trial period where they all got to know each other better but found out that they really liked to hang out with each other, ending up with him join their trine through the bonding ritual finally completing their trine.

🥃 Are you planning on asking Heatwave to marry you?

Take a shot every time you don't answer 🥃 || Accepting

        High Tide glanced over his shoulder to make sure Heatwave wasn't nearby and leaned a but further with a servo covering one side of his mouth.

        "Yes I do, but it's still a secret! I'm even craftin' a ring for him, like ya humans do. Our Conjux Enduring ritual is a bit similar to yours, so keep it as a secret for now."

@shiningsilverarmor​ stated; Greetings, grand enforcer. The knightly conjunx came for the scooping ritual, and right on time too!

Oh yes. Right on time indeed... Minimus wanders over to his conjux and without hesitation, plucks him right up. A soft purr emits from him as he nuzzles his helm against the knight’s chassis, arms holding him securely, “Silverblade..? Love? Is it just me or do you feel a little.. heavier then usual?”

“Wow, I figured there was a difference but as you put it, I will basicallybeexperiencing the difference.” Optics softened when they caught sight of the fanning wings. It couldn’t be helped: Kris’ wings lifted and returned a slower flutter. Cirrus was absolutely the right choice to call, he was steady and patient.

“Yeah, we can walk and talk as we head for more fuel. Ah—“ the femme looked back at her wings and could only imagine the dents and dings she would gain. “I don’t have anything in this room big enough, but could we find something to wrap around the farthest half’s of my wings? I’m used to foldable wings and it I’m gonna accidentally hit things or smack someone, I don’t want to inflict pain.”

Smaller servo took the larger one, weaving talons between the other’s. As long as she stuck with him, she would be safe. “I need slower steps too, mister ‘long legs’. I bet it’s shorter than Starscream still— HA! Even as a femme, I’m still the smallest around!” Kris would follow where ever Cirrus would start leading them, thinking about just how much more helpful she could be.

“After all this, at the end of the day, I want to discuss something with you. It’s not bad but from what I remember looking up, it’s a sentimental and serious thing, being now that I’m a temporary seeker, I want to take the opportunity. It’s nothing... hmm... I’m not gonna ask to be a trine nor would I throw out a conjux proposal... that’s just absurd and honestly way too much. Ah Frag it... uhm...”

Kris huffed and rubbed the back of her neck, optics averted to the tiny set up she had been living in for years now.

“I’d rather ask, because I don’t want to cross lines being of organic mindset now... but could I perform the Amica Endura ritual? I wanted to do that later down the line with what mechs I call family... but I won’t be offended if declined! It could be enough just letting you know how deeply I care. I would have your back in battle if ever it came down to it— not that I’d be useful, but still. We use terms I am familiar with but I wanted convey it all in terms more familiar to you.”

::Cirrus. I need you. Like…. I can’t leave my hab without you and you will see why. I just- I just need someone who is not used to shooting first and asking questions later. I’m not in danger or injured…. just hurry, before anyone might come looking for me.::
