#cybertron’s future au expanded

[azyranx]

Life got busy but I finally had the time to expand a snippet into this. Still working on the longer post about this AU, but here's something featuring Prowl. Tumblr's formatting doesn't have exactly what I wanted, but hopefully it still makes some sense (under the cut).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On any given day Prowl immersed himself within millions of possible outcomes for any number of things. From the planet’s shifting to the onset of massive storms he saw virtually anything and everything. He just needed to read the “flow of the planet,” and when he studied those streams everything became clearer. All he needed to do was hone in on those rivers of light, and the signs only he could see told him everything he needed to know.

Many mechs thought they understood clearsight—and basically any outlier ability in general—but most dismissed it as clairvoyance or premonitions. They couldn’t be more mistaken.

On its own, the ability simply allowed a mech to perceive the “life force of the planet itself.” Whether it established a connection to Primus had yet to be determined, but there was no denying the information it could reveal to a bot. A mech only needed to read the movement of those streams to uncover countless secrets. Such an action, however, was easier said than done and those secrets were not things a mech could just look at and understand. Only the unlucky few knew exactly how overwhelming clearsight could be, and most of those mechs tended to lose themselves in more ways than one.

Prowl, on the other hand, was part of the very small percentage of “those unlucky few” who weren’t really unlucky. Where most faced scrambled processors and overclocked logic units, he encountered rich veins of data and probabilities. Where most fried their processors, he pushed his own farther and faster to sift through the unending currents of information. Where most were swept away, he stood firm. The reason Prowl didn’t succumb to the same fate as those unfortunate sparks was straightforward enough. His clearsight gave him the information, but his tacnet made sense of it all.

With it he could actually look upon the constantly changing flows without crashing. A quick glance resolved colorful rivers of light into recognizable patterns and movements. A more comprehensive examination uncovered information others would be hard-pressed to find. Together, Prowl saw and studied how things existed in current, changing, and future conditions. From there it became a simple matter of prioritizing.

Sometimes he needed to focus on the cities of Cybertron and ensure imminent disasters caused as little damage as possible. Other times he needed to watch for signs of change and formulate plans to counter shifts in the corruption zones. Whatever the case, he directed his attention to the relevant streams and explored the multitude of potential outcomes until he found what he needed. He was nothing if not patient and thorough.

Yet this exact quality brought him to his current predicament. Not a single detail escaped Prowl’s scrutiny when he concentrated his clearsight and at this point there was very little he hadn’t seen, but for all that he found himself staring at something completely unknown.

He’d been deep within the 427th priority tree when his optics caught the first flashes of . . . something. One moment he studied the colorful energies within the Primal Basilica; in the next he found them tainted by tendrils of shadow. It took longer than he would have liked to discern the true nature of those anomalies, and that gave the first indication of danger. The sudden wave of corruption surging out from those ebony whorls—covering 78% of the affected stream in the initial outburst—gave him the second.

Before he could think to raise the alarm it vanished as quickly as it manifested, leaving Prowl alone in the grand hall with more questions than answers. He might have doubted the occurrence altogether if not for the half-formed and ongoing queries posed by his tacnet. Energy rippled and swirled as usual, but trained optics recognized changes no matter how small. He brought a hand to his head and activated his visor.

Currents of vibrant hues materialized without warning, rushing and swirling throughout the wide room. He wasted no time for his analyses and dove into the endless flow of possibilities.

The planet shifted— —following the same rotation (likely)— —incrementally moving off course (less likely)— —and collided into Luna 1 (very unlikely)— . . . Predictions on course.

Life thrived in Iacon— —energy pooled in the Primal Basilica (most likely)— —and welled within the hotspot (likely)— . . . Predictions on course.

Life thrived in Praxus— —the Crystal Gardens pulsed with energy (most likely)— —the Crystal Gardens grew dim (very unlikely)— . . . Predictions on course.

He sent the assessments about the next cities to the background of his logic center and moved on to a different group of streams.

The wards held— —back the ever-present darkness (most likely)— —and drew from the planet’s energy (likely)— —as Keepers tended them (likely)— . . . Predictions on course.

The sigils remained— —and isolated the fathomless void (most likely)— —drawing from the planet’s energy (likely)— —strong as Keepers maintained them (likely)— . . . Predictions on course.

The mountains stood— —tall and formidable (most likely)— —and suddenly crumbled (unlikely)— —but shifted to reach the sky (most unlikely)— . . . Predictions on course.

The winds howled— —and carried acid rain further inland (unlikely)— —ripping through the Sonic Canyons (unlikely)— . . . Predictions on course.

The cliffs crumbled— —widening the ravine to the abyss (most likely)— **Deviantion detected**Predictions off course.

What?

He let the analysis continue in the background but paid it little attention. Instead he focused on the cache holding his reports, skimming through it until he found the one he sought. Rereading it confirmed the conclusions he’d reached, but how had this come to pass? He directed the rest of his processing power to analyze the stream in question, but it revealed nothing new. It simply spit out the same information: the ravine would crumble in spite of a previous report mentioning nothing of the sort.

That settled it.

Prowl pulled himself out of the slew of data and diverted his tacnet to a more stable chain of possibilities—the planet shifted following the same rotation—ignoring the assessments it made. There could always be different variations to an object’s next course of action, yes, but they always fell within expected parameters. At least they always did until now. He didn’t know how or why that was the case, but he knew just the mech to help him find out.

OKAY Y'ALL ARE LEARNING ABOUT THEM TODAY

I already posted about them a while back but a lot of changes have happened since then so I'm making a new post with the updated designs

These are my OCs Trailhead and Turnpike

for clarification's sake: the original linework I did for them was traced from a panel of Dominus in mtmte bc I'm not great at robot anatomy and it was a good neutral pose (lmk if y'all wanna see the original concept bc it was bad lmao) but they're mostly just for visual reference so I prob won't be posting art of them again now that their designs are like finalized in my head unless I commission someone at some point

they are both beastformers with a turbofox alt and they're from the Cybertron of the universe that the Lost Light warps to (at least in this lil AU)

their Cybertron is lush with robotic flora and fauna and as an extension all the Cybertronians there emerge with beast alt-modes and for a long time lived amongst the wildlife themselves in mixed communities of Cybertronians and their respective mechanimals

Trailhead is very excitable and a huge flirt but also a vain coward who often has to cower behind his brother when things get tense especially bc his aim sucks

Turnpike is stoic and stubborn but they're very protective of their brother and their home and they're a trained fighter whose preferred weapons are their two swords they usually keep clipped onto their back

I'ma give y'all the little drabble I wrote that's like a prologue to where the fic I'm planning begins bc the actual fic starts when they meet the Lost Light in space but I wrote this thing while brainstorming forever ago and it'll help set the scene a lil better

-

The beastformers lived in small communities for a very long time amongst the wildlife of Cybertron until Optimus Primal arrived. He began to unite the communities one by one and convinced them to leave behind their wild brethren to form something new, something much larger than themselves.

Many resisted the idea, but minds were changed when the blight befell them. This blight caused Cybertronians everywhere to revert to their alt-modes permanently, no longer able to speak or think at the capacity they once were. The people were terrified, and in their terror, they turned to the one who offered them hope, solidarity, safety. Primal brought them all together to search for a cure and to build a grand society that could expand beyond the wilds from which they came.

Before long, huge cities were built, research dedicated to finding a way to restore their lost peers. No one knew what caused the blight, every case appearing so random. It didn’t matter from where someone hailed, where they lived, their size, their alt-mode, their occupation. Any and all were at risk of the blight taking hold.

Many figured that it was only a matter of time, their efforts wasted. But many more clung to the promise of a better future, Primal supporting them all in any way that he could.

Darkness fell when one day, Primal’s beloved, Megatron, was befallen with the blight. Primal had been inconsolable for some time, many mourning alongside him for though Megatron was mighty and fearsome, he was gentle and kind to all of his subjects. It was a dark time, but it brought them all closer together.

They began to research beyond cures, looking into traveling beyond their skies. It would be necessary. With Megatron’s fall, so too did the natural energon wells across the planet begin to dry up one by one. Hot spots went cold all over the planet and it weighed heavily on them all. It was as though Primus himself had given up on his creations. They’d been left to rust on their wild planet, unable to do anything but claw for survival.

From this world is where we meet the protagonists of our tale, Trailhead and Turnpike. The two of them once lived not far from the great tree, members of a skulk of both fellow turbofox beastformers and plain turbofoxes alike. They all enjoyed the plentiful fruit that offshoots of the great tree produced, the soft skin swollen with sweet energon. It had been a wonderful life, their friends were plenty and peaceful. Never had there been a night when the two hadn’t curled up on one another, slumbering in their scruffy alt-modes.

It had been perfect until it all began to crumble. One by one, their friends became confused, their memories muddled, becoming worse and worse until they could no longer remember how to return to their root forms.

They were trapped in their alt-modes, the loss of their memories leaving them feral and aggressive. Turnpike wept as their closest friends disappeared, not even able to say a final goodbye. Trailhead hadn’t the time to mourn, too busy trying to figure out what had happened, news from nearby settlements speaking of the blight and the pain it wrought. Seemingly overnight, Trailhead and Turnpike were the only beastformers that remained of their skulk, and that was when he arrived.

Optimus Primal himself came to offer them a new home. Looking into the eyes of the turbofoxes that they had called brothers, it hurt to consider it, but they knew they had to leave. Trailhead knew that with the wisdom of others like himself, he may yet be able to save their lost friends. There was no other choice.

With a sorrowful goodbye, they boarded Primal’s vessel and their home faded into the distance behind them, Trailhead finally crumbling beneath his grief in Turnpike’s arms. They would find a way, no matter what it took.

and then last of all, here's Turnpike without the mask and visor bc they do retract

[presidentofthelipglossclub]

i think i know which fics ur talking about and if i'm right i loved those, 10/10 worldbuilding/backstory.

anyways ideas: jules verne and heatwave future stuff ok that whole episode was so damn cryptic and mysterious i really wanna see where it could go.

slice of life style fic(s) about the rescue bots at the academy, training and hanging out, and going on missions off planet. bonus if it works in the whole rescue bots being Other more than average bots.

chill oneshot (?) of frankie and heatwave having the triple changer convo bc she said heatwave told her all about it and i want more frankie content.

adventure/mild psychological horror fic series of tfp/rid 2015 bots meeting the rescue bots. the adventure comes from the rescue bots being danger magnets, the horror from them being Other in a subtle way that slowly expands into their backstory and them becoming a critical part of cybertron's future in a way no one understands.

au of canon tfp and rb where instead of telling optimus he wants to stay on griffin rock, heatwave joins team prime when offered a spot. ideally includes the mild psychological horror i mentioned before, but more concentrated on heatwave's mental state/morality instead of a group backstory.

nemisis prime au where the rescue bots either meet nemisis who they think is optimus, or the optimus in the show was nemisis prime the whole time. this could go dark by including more gore, or could turn into a rehabilitation mission where the rescue bots help him get better/become normal.

shattered glass fics about the rescue bots fuckin shit up. that's it.

corruption fic series about the rescue bots being found by deceptions and infused with dark energon to become soldiers. they could either a) be captured by the autobots and fixed, b) be captured by the autobots and destroyed, c) slowly work their way into the deceptions' sparks and be willingly released, d) become unicron's servants and fulfill some prophecy, or e) really any other idea idk i just think this would be interesting.

decepticon focused fic(s) with them slowly being accepted by the rescue bots and gaining their help (without optimus knowing, there could be a dramatic reveal).

side-switching rescue bots who mostly keep doing their thing, they just hang out with decepticons (bonus if they aren't being manipulated, they just agree with their cause more) (bonus bonus if optimus/the autobots think they're being manipulated and try saving them).

longer oneshot of post war cybertron with the rescue bots becoming major political figures because of their unique experience/expertise in deescalation, rebuilding, problem solving and diplomacy. would wanna see at least ONE big argument where they lose their shit and start roasting the hell out of autobots and decepticons for being terrible diplomats and politicians.

literally anything that has the rescue bots interacting with war bots and not being treated like they're weak. i see that too much and it's annoying they're dinobots they have insane durability they can lift multiple times their own weight they have insane speed they're mean as shit they are not weak.

i have more but these are some of the main ones i like to think about.

ok i love rescue bots and the fandom but we are NOT tapping into proper fic potential ok. where are the fics about heatwave and jules verne meeting in the future? where are fics about the rescue bots’ missions/lives in space? where are the fics about them on other planets or just on cybertron? where’s the fics on frankie and heatwave talking about triple changing? where’s the fics on the rescue bots meeting team prime? where’s the fics on an au of the show where heatwave accepts optimus’ offer to join his team? WHERE ARE THE FICS??

thinking about them 🦋🐻

[artsy-hobbitses]

TTB AU Masterlist & FAQ

Q: Wait, what?

A: Exactly as it says! Ties That Bind (TTB) is an Alternate Universe with Transformers re-imagined as people.

Q: Which continuity is this based on? Will be be following the existing storylines by book?

A: It is an AU influenced the worldbuilding in IDW 2005 but liberties will be taken on many  narratives. Do not presume the IDW storylines have the same endings here.

Q: What’s the society like?

A: Before the war, it mirrored Cybertron’s original Functionist policies with heavy class segregation and different allowances for different groups of workers. Administration, Politics  and Academicians were on top; Military, Law Enforcement and Artisans were in the middle; Manual workers occupied the lowest rung. The class division was abolished post-war.

Q: How was the world affected by the Quintesson Invasion?

A: Badly.

Q: How long did the Great War last?

A: About a decade.

Q: Do they live on earth or Cybertron still?

A: They live on a Science Fiction-Alternate History version of earth with a Point Of Divergence set somewhere in the 1920s. Everything that exists prior to 1920 will have remained the same. Everything after undergoes drastic changes.

Q: Why do their eyes glow? How do they have powers?

 A: The Point Of Divergence is a Quintesson invasion which let to mass genetic experimentation on close to 85% of the world’s population to make them better slaves for stripmining earth of resources. It was meant to keep them in line like an early warning system because Quintessons could not understand all the languages humans spoke to stop unwanted behavior in its tracks, but emotions are universal, and eyes were coded to glow in times of either duress or anger. The genetic code has since passed down hereditary lines, though there are occasional mutations/deviations to colors. 

Q: So Outliers are?

 A: Think of them like the world’s X-Men. The majority of the population has ‘abilities’ which can be described as an extension of the capabilities of a human body (such as enhanced strength and durability), and anything that does not fall under that category is considered an ‘Outlier’ ability.

Q: And Cold-Constructs?

A: Artificially-made laboratory children commissioned by the government to fit specific roles, most often in the high-mortality fields of military and manual labor. They have barcodes which mark them as government property and are assigned to communities who teach them the trade the moment they are old enough to hold tools and weapons. They do not have the same rights as ‘normal’ people and are seen more as tools than people. They and M.T.Os are made sterile.

Q: How about M.T.Os? 

A: Artificially-made laboratory adults commissioned by the government with accelerated growth and information on their designation and job fed to them before they are ‘brought online’. Almost exclusively made during wartime, they wear the same barcodes as Cold Constructs.

Q: And how about Beast!Formers?

A: They are divided into two categories. The first are the originals who were experimented on by Quintessons, and this led to mutations which leads to a huge degree of ostracization from the general public, and the mutations were passed down hereditary lines. The second are government-made ‘Beast-Men’ specifically for use in Black/Spec Op projects.

Q: Are you doing Beast Wars characters?

A: No. @wanlingnic has permission to dabble with them.

Q: Do Cybertronian colonies or TItans exist?

A: Yes they do via offworld outposts created by AI created as part expanded mining operations and an early warning system to warn of future invasions!.

Q: Do they use their traditional vehicles/formes?

A: Yes. Some do.

Q: Is it alright if I made fic/fanart/an OC based on this AU?

A: Please go right ahead! Consider this universe a large sandbox and you’re all invited to have a romp in it ouob

Q: What are their names/factions?

A: Autobots here and Decepticons here.

Q: What are their:

Ages?

Ethnicities?

Religions?

Heights?

Voiceclaims?

Sexuality and relationships?

Hierarchies?

Hobbies?

Favorite foods?

Least favorite foods?

Weapons?

Q: Who can:

Dance?

Sing?

Q: Who is in charge of:

Fortress Maximus, Brawn, Tracks, Warpath, Cerebros, Hoist, Huffer, Lancer, Gears, Beachcomber, Powerglide, Seaspray, Cosmos, Greenlight, Grapple, Technobots, Overlord, Spyglass, Viewfinder, Spectro, Needlenose, Horri-bull, Loudpedal, Exhaust, Skullcruncher, Gutcruncher, Hard Top, Megatronia,  Jhiaxus and Combaticons? @elfdragon12

Today's Topic

THE GUYS

Have I been excited for this one!

Let's put the info under the cut tho...

Ok so! THE GUYS is exactly that. A group of friends who are guys!

Sentinel

We got Sentinel, who's basically the leader of this group. He tries to make everyone laugh and makes plans for hangouts. He's the most chaotic of all of them, but he's got some nice advice, especially about getting rejected, oof.

Optimus

Optimus is a pretty quiet guy, but he's the most eager for hangouts and conversations. After he and his team separated due to the factional peace, he became one of the first friends (or GUYS if you will) in the group. He's yet yo unlock his wild side, but trust me when I say, this man will embrace his inner chaos soon.

Cliffjumper

Cliffjumper! The macho adrenaline junky and second most chaotic of THE GUYS! He'll plan hangouts, but expect to sweat. Because Cliffjumper enjoys anything from racing to parkour. For a little guy, he's surprisingly agile. Confident too. Expect bets and dares from Cliffjumper, especially when he knows he's gonna win.

Blitzwing

Blitzwing is one of the TWO reformed Decepticons in THE GUYS. When he was first invited to hang out, the poor triple changer was awkward and didn't know what to think of it. But some talking and letting loose later, Blitzwing became the third most chaotic GUY, silently enjoying the laughs and the risks. He rarely plans hangouts, though. Blitzwing would rather take the spotlight at the most opportune moment.

Horizon

Horizon here, if you remember, is Shockwave's younger brother. He's the youngest and most cautious of THE GUYS, sometimes he even tries to be the voice of reason when their plans get too....chaotic lol. Take a shot every time you read chaotic ANYWAY! Horizon, while being the cautious one, can sometimes have his little bursts of courage where he becomes chaos incarnate. But these are so rare, when it happens, everyone else is just...surprised. But if you want a nice calm conversation, he's your best bet.

Shockwave

Ah, the man himself! Shockwave is the second reformed Decepticon in THE GUYS. He's thr very fancy, high standards one, but oh, is capable of SO MUCH CHAOS! He just needs a little push. And his friends know that means hurting his pride a smidge so he becomes more willing to do SFW things that NO ONE EXPECTS! But most of the time, Shockwave is as chill as Horizon, not much in it for the thrill, but very much in it for the company.

Anyway, those are THE GUYS! The Cybertron equivalent of "boys will be boys". Pery's (@quixotic-kin) inside jokes are evidence of that. There are more GUYS, but that's for the future ;)

June/Optimus (for the drabble meme)

[ Ship Scenario Memes (Accepting) ]

Fake dating/married: This actually happens not long after June officially meets the ‘Bots. A man who does deliveries for the hospital has been hitting on June almost every time they cross paths, and he’s making her very uncomfortable. She ends up bringing this up while visiting the base (away from Jack’s hearing), and Optimus offers his assistance in the matter. Using his holoavatar, he pretends to be June’s boyfriend, in the hopes that the creeper will back off. 

Since the only person who really needs to be convinced is the delivery guy, things don’t change too much between the two at first. Optimus would take June to work and later pick her up a couple nights a week, they’d share small kisses on the cheek, and they come up with a backstory to tell June’s coworkers when they notice the attractive. Then one night, Optimus lets June vent about a rough week before taking her home, and next thing they know, they’re spending a couple hours a night just talking, either in the hospital parking lot, or outside the Darby house. And the affections seem to become easier and a bit more romantic. Optimus starts kissing the back of June’s hand, and sends her a bouquet of flowers to her nursing station. June picks up a book in the store because she thinks Optimus would like it, and leans into his side more often.

The delivery guy eventually backs off, but June and Optimus find they don’t want this to end and, after some discussion, decide to make their relationship official.

Bodyswap: Well, to say this is awkward is an understatement. A simple swap between species or gender would be odd enough, both at once being caused by a cybertronian relic is almost overkill. Optimus quickly calls for a leave of absence from the hospital, and stays at base to avoid anything that could cause an incident for June. June, on the other hand, can’t hide out in base for however long it takes to switch them back, so she gets a crash course in fighting, which she ends up being surprisingly good at it, if using a quite different style than Optimus’s. She’s not good enough to take on Megatron, but they luckily don’t have to fight him in that time. Optimus ends up spending most of his time helping Ratchet debug the computer systems and decrypt the Iacon database, as well as figuring out how to switch back. Optimus also has to deal with a period while in June’s body. He gains much personal respect for June and other human females. 

Telepathy: It’s a very odd, and not entirely welcome development. Both Optimus and June have high-stress jobs, and sometimes the only way to cope is to rant in their heads, which could be distracting for the other. That aside, when the other is feeling down, they will try be send encouraging thoughts to them. And the occasional naughty ones, as couples do.

OH NO only one bed at the hotel: Well, OP can’t exactly fit in a human hotel, and a cybertronian one would have plenty of room for June, but where the fun in that? AU where Optimus got turned human by whatever macguffen you want. He, of course, does the noble thing and sleeps on the floor, even at June’s insistence that they can share the bed like reasonable adults.

Accidental time-travel: They travel back to before the War and Optimus has to decide if he wants to warn Orion Pax of what’s to come or not. They do visit Alpha Trion, and he leaves some clues for past!Optimus to find to help lessen the War’s devastation, if not stop it.

Sexpollen/fuck or die/aliens made them do it: So, apparently cybertronian interface nanites act as an aphrodisiac in humans if breathed in. Who knew. Luckily, the outbreak happened while the children were at school and the team out scouting and Ratchet was able to contain it quickly. But that still left June to be taken care of, and Optimus volunteered to do so. Even using his holo, he tried to go slowly and gently, but June hadn’t been with a man since Jack’s dad, and she could tell it had been a while for Optimus too, so she quickly convinces him to let loose for the few hours they have. Afterwards, both are quite embarrassed and no one mentions it, but both do wonder how much of it was the nanites, and how much was something more.  

Dark!fic: June is a great ally to the Autobots, always listening and taking thorough notes when Ratchet teaches her about cybertronian medical science, and of course June promises to never reveal the information to someone who doesn’t know of their existence. So when she emails her notes out through an encrypted email, she’s obviously sending them to someone who does know. And Silas is very appreciative of the files, which greatly advanced Project Chimera’s progress beyond what could have been accomplished on their own.

June was telling the truth that it had just been her and Jack since his dad left. She just didn’t tell anyone that she had just been reunited with him. It was short, only a twenty minute van ride before she had to be knocked out, but it was enough to Silas to reaffirm to her that yes, he still loved her, and he was doing everything to make a better world for her and Jack, one where they could live as  royalty if they wished. He assured her she would be perfectly safe throughout the night, that his own men were ready to kill Airachnid if Jack couldn’t reach her, and that the Autobot would assist if she got free. And then he laid the plan for her help when Arcee did. 

Silas encouraged June to integrate herself into the bot’s lives, to learn everything she could about the Autobots. When June noticed Optimus seemed to have taken a liking to her, he pushed her to take advantage of it, for a leader in love is often a distracted leader. And when the time came, he would give the signal, and she would open the groundbridge, and when the children protested the deaths of the ‘Bots, she assured them it was for a better future, where they would all be happy. She felt a twinge of remorse when Optimus’s optics, filled with shock and betrayal, landed on her as he fell to Silas piloting Nemesis, but she pushed it down, confident in the knowledge this was the right thing, for her and her love.

It’s too bad she both overestimated Silas’s feelings for her, and underestimated the anger that could fill up a twelve year old when you murder the people he considers family right in front of him.

Their first kiss: It was an impulse, truly. June had been helping Ratchet give Optimus a check up, and they were just finishing up when they heard a crash in the main atrium and Ratchet went to investigate, leaving June to finish unhooking Optimus from the medical apparatus. The last one was on Optimus’s helm, so he lifted her up to get it. Then, as he started lowering her down, she kissed his faceplate, just off from his lips. He froze, and she turned away embarrassed, but he gently turned her back to him and carefully gave her a proper kiss in return. It was lucky they’d already unhooked the scanner, otherwise Ratchet would have gotten some odd readings that would have raised a few questions the two weren’t quite able to answer yet.

Meeting the parents: The closest thing Optimus had to a parent was Alpha Trion, who has been in the least MIA for millennia. Still, Optimus does show June holopics of him, and tells her stories, and if Alpha happened to leave a message about June in the Star Saber, well, Optimus isn’t going to say anything.

June’s mom and stepdad live in Boulder City, and first meet Optimus through a holoavatar. Gloria and Thomas Darby are ecstatic that their girl has a man in her life again, especially one as gentlemanly and handsome as Optimus. Even after finding out the truth, they fully support the couple, since after all, they were a mixed-race couple in the 70s, what’s an alien-human relationship to them?

Moving in together: This doesn’t happen until after the destruction of Outpost Omega One, and the subsequent fight against the Decepticons. Given her and Jack’s relationship with the ‘Bots, it was easy to get them quarters in the new base. Even with that, June often spends her nights in Optimus’s room. A sturdy scaffold was set up to hold a bedroom set and kitchenette, as well as a bathroom plumbed in. It’s a fairly easy transition to cohabitation, each of them understanding when the other needs company and when they need quiet. Most nights, she goes to sleep resting on Optimus’s (newly expanded) chestplate, listening to his sparkbeat. She has a much harder time falling asleep after the team returns to Cybertron.

Marriage and children: Take your choice of Human OP/Cybertronian June/Technorganic babies for this prompt! They have a sweet ceremony, getting it as close to just close friends and family as they can (Optimus is a dignitary after all, some bureaucrats are gonna find their way in). 

For children, they have anywhere between one and three. Roselight/Rose Alina is their oldest, who looks like a younger version of June as a human/holo, but with her father’s ears. As a cybertronian, she’s a seeker like her mother but with her father’s helm shape, and colored rosey-red with green and yellow highlights. She would be very interested in medicine, and want to be a nurse/medic when she grew up.

Their second child would be Mayflower/May, who is the opposite of Rose in appearance and temperment. She looks like Optimus as a bot and human, but has her mother’s skin tone, and her colors as a bot are green and white, with some red and blue accents. She turns into a truck, and is very much a fighter. She’d spend a lot of time with “Auntie” Miko and her Wrecker “Uncles”, and is always ready to defend her sibs, especially her brother.

Their third child would be a son, who, after some debate, they decide to name Megatronus/Michael. He looks just like Optimus as a human, and as a bot, he’s a seeker, but has a heavier build and Optimus’s colors. In a way though, this makes the weight of his name worse, as he knows what Megatron was, and doesn’t want that to come down on him. He’s very shy, does all he can to never lose his temper, and while he learns to fight with his sisters and is skilled, he is the most hesitent to use his abilities, always looking for a peaceful solution. 

A crossover of my choice: Inspired by skype convos with @crazyfanatic97, crossover with Five Night’s At Freddy’s, where Jack’s father was William Afton, who took their second son Michael with him when they divorced. Optimus and June get together, but drama and plot emerge when William tries to come back into their lives to get his hands on Jack for nefarious purposes. Possible appearances of Springtrap and other animatronics might also occur.

An AU of my choice: Post-Apocalypse AU, June is leading a band of women and children who just recently lost all the men to their “protectors” after refusing to hand over their “gifted” children. Optimus and Team Prime land on this version of Earth and June’s group is the first they come across. They make a deal to help each other, Optimus and the ‘Bots providing protection for the band, while June and the others of the band help the bots retrieve the cybertronian artifacts that drew the ‘Bots and ‘Cons to Earth. And along the way, between all the fighting, running the band, training the gifted children and whatnot, they happen to fall in love.

If you like, another trope/scenario of your choice: Soulmates AU where June and the kids are actually reincarnated cybertronians and find out their romantic and platonic soulmates are among the bots and cons. June would be reunited with her Platonic Ratchet, her Sparkmate Optimus, and their daughter Roselight after a relic is found that converts the humans back to their proper forms (though still allowing them to change back, like pretenders). (I am working on this AU, but the main focus of the fic is more on Miko/Megatron, so June/OP is more a background ship. but shush, my meme.)

[defectiicon]

I am home now!!! and as a result now I can expand on that prophetic sparkplug au lmao

The basis of this verse is that Sparkplug was an MTO/CC bot built to be just another soldier in Megatron’s army, but sometime around her third or fourth battle, she began to sprout prophecies. They were all small and inconsequential things, stuff like what grade energon they were having to eat or that it’d be cloudy and rain later for example. All of them come out as throw away comments, just random sentences that were easily ignored and explained away as attempts as small talk or her just commenting on external factors. (She just saw the energon being prepared, or she saw clouds in the distance so obviously that’s how she knew, etc.) Just inane things easy to dismiss.

And then she began to have commentary on Big Things, things she couldn’t possibly know such as when or where the Autobots would show up for a battle that hadn’t even happened yet, or that there’d be an earthquake somewhere. Things that would, in fact, happen when and where she said they would.

Despite her prophecies coming out as seemingly random thoughts or commentary, they were clearly prophetic in nature and a sign that she had inklings of the future in a way no one else could or did. Megatron ordered her brought to him and she was imprisoned where only he had access to her, in order for him to use her ability and knowledge of the future to gain an advantage over Optimus and the Autobots. They told her it was for her protection, though it quickly became obvious to the seeker that in reality it was simply to keep her out of the hands of Autobots and to make it easier for Megatron to use her.

Eventually the Autobots heard rumors of a secret weapon and went in to steal said weapon. They were surprised to find that “it” was in fact a seeker, and pretty much stole her away.

It wasn’t entirely intentional on their part but once they learned of her nature as a seer, somehow she ended up doing the same for the Autobots that she’d been doing for Megatron, albeit they were far kinder.

Things of note:

Her prophecies are not obvious in their nature; they seem much more like random commentary or insightful thoughts than actual prophecies. She once described it as “a thought just pops into my head and I say it before I can really think about not saying it.”

She’s not any fonder of Optimus Prime than she is of Megatron. Optimus is much kinder, but she still feels like she’s in a cage, even if the Autobots don’t intend to trap her there.

As soon as the war ends she takes the first chance she can find to get off of Cybertron and away from people who want to know their futures and their race’s future. She just wants the freedom to explore and keep her prophecies to herself for once.

She knows exactly who her sparkmate is, and has since the moment she met them in the party of Autobots who took her from Megatron.

Megatron had her in that room so long that she forgets how to fly and goes a little mad for it.

Though I was still thinking "organic Cybertronian" for the AU like combining my world and yours, everyone organic. Lazarette's pirates threatened by Galvatron's expansion and empire, ships being attacked and hunted, the pirate Lord requests a special task of Lazarette and her crew--- the impossible, really. Get to Cybertron. Get to the highly guarded estate where Galvatron's little one is housed and kidnap the child out from under her very violent beastformer bodyguard (Dinobot) and, if Cyclonus is around, dodge the spawn of Unicron. Then get the child off-world. And they'll ransom her for whatever they want or try to kill her as payback for all the blows Galvatron and Nova have dealt them. For all I know Galvatron blew up some of the planets the pirates had used traditionally as safe havens, she'd have eliminating pirates in her territory on her top 5 list, where before her perhaps they were not targeted but (it's honest... prolly Cyclonus' idea he cannot stand any kind of chaos he wants order, pirates would irritate him, simply knowing they existed in Cybertronian ruled spaces)...

Ourpiratequeen

OMG that's pretty awesome. I was thinking something similar along the lines of combining the two, perhaps Lazarette is a native, going back to her military routes and working for the royal family's army and expanding their empire. She knows very little of Tetta outside the few public gatherings, and after the d-void incident there is talk that the ruler has gone mad and she gets roped into helping Scourge get Tetta old-world after he is imprisoned and Cyclonus and his men are on their tail (She even takes a heavy blow as they try to embark). They get branded as outcasts and without Scourge they have no idea where to go or who to trust with the princess. Both are good.

Morethananyking

Oh man yours is fucking awesome too T__T oh god I wanna do that

Metalpiratequeen

Human Laza is obsessed with styling hair by the way. She never has the same style for too long, and even braids precious stones or tokens that mean something to her into her hair. I can totally see her running into Tetta in one of the crystal gardens after slipping away from a party. Marvelling at her lilac hair and if she would let her, tie a single braid with a sea green gem into her hair.

Morethananyking

Tettares would be maximum level pathetic for awhile. I love writing Scourge too... maybe he escapes with Lazarette, especially if Galvatron has already killed his family thinking it would bring him to his knees and back in line, he could be killed later on too. They would be marked as traitors, god Galvatron and Cyclonus would be out for blood. I could see Scourge grabbing Lazarette by the elbow, "Walk with me." Getting her involved in this, very dangerous, inner-workings of the royal line. For awhile, she's trying to carry out her duty with a mountain of scary insider information that Galvatron is insane, infected by some kind of evil, and Cyclonus is falling to it, and Scourge himself says he feels it creeping along his skin. Asks her why she thinks Tettares has vanished from the public eye? Why he's lost his rank? Why his wife and child suddenly died in an accident. It was no accident. Dinobot is normally her bodyguard in this, I love writing him as an organic I have a picture...

god dammit he's my fav thing ever

He was created in a lab to be a warrior. "friend" of Cyclonus, who gave him his job even though he's seen as a secondclass citizen because of his creation. He could help them too, I have a few stories where he does, takes Tettares and runs. He may be in on it with Lazarette and Scourge. I'd love him to escape with Lazarette and Scourge, we can kill Scourge later (lmao god Scourge my poor boy). Dinobot is loyal to Tettares and has some sort of honor within him though is ... well he's Dinobot hahahahahaha but I love writing him. Might be kinda neat, if they become pirates, like re-writing Lazarette's past in a way. Dinobot would follow her. He wanted to be part of the military, go to the academy and become an officer, but they don't allow his lot to study, he was lucky to be given a job as Tetta's guard but he was infamous for his talent as a fighter, Cyclonus liked him. Thought he'd be wasted as a grunt (so instead has him stand outside a door 24/7 lmao).

Metalpiratequeen

Dinobot is lovely. Lazarette would be honoured to make him her master gunner :) Happy pirate family.

Morethananyking

God they would have to do so many terrible things to protect themselves. I think it'd be safe to say the bonds were broken so, at least they couldn't track Tettares that way. But Cyclonus could track Scourge, they have a bond, so he'd have to either dagger his own spark in an attempt to severe his bond to Cyclonus or leave, to lure them, hoping they will assume he has the child... acting as the sacrificial lamb to buy Lazarette and Dinobot time to flee and disappear.

Metalpiratequeen

He is too good for this world.

Morethananyking

And then Lazarette can get everyone involved with pirates, masking that they are running away from the Cybertronian Empire. Prolly have to dye Tetta's hair and make her wear a contact to change her eye color... I think the humanized verse sounds fun though, I'd love to see traditional military Lazarette being invited to the estate to a formal prestigious party that might advance her career, the royals around, could be before Galvatron starts to go mad, and she slips away like you said, to the beautiful gardens where she finds the next-in-line little warrior there among the crystalline roses with her frowning scale throated bodyguard standing nearby. That way she'd be able to compare what she saw then to a few years later when people have begun to fray at the edges with madness and the child vanishes

Metalpiratequeen

That would be awesome ;-; For them to already have a history. Lazarette not wanting to believe Scourge about Galvatron's descend into madness, vowing to serve the crown and him having to tell her that Tetta is in danger and her duty should be to the future queen. So much politics.

Morethananyking

Yeah the fall from grace for Galvatron and Cyclonus is a big one indeed heh I mean Galvatron has always been dangerous but never crazy.

Metalpiratequeen

My poor girl just wants to rise through the ranks and colonise planets for the honour of Cybertron and now she gets pulled into conspiracies, rebellions and a bloody revolution. She did not sign up for this. Being a wanted outlaw/kidnapper

Morethananyking

Would Lazarette be special somehow? Where she might live on the estate (it's a pretty big place) like a military protégé that might be a favorite of Galvatron or Cyclonus? Cyclonus frequently picks favorites and brings them into the upper folds? If we wanted to draw Lazarette closer, to make the betrayal or choice to side with the child over her Queen a bigger... decision. I know the estate has a building with apartments and housing for guards and some of the soldiers who are privileged. That way Lazarette would have been able to observe the royals (and catch sight of Tetta more)? Galvatron greatly favors women, too. I always wrote on organic Cybertron females were a lot rarer than males but we don't have to use that in this verse...

Metalpiratequeen

I image it would have to go something along those lines. Ironically the reason Lady Auxiliary took should a keen interest in Lazarette was because she's such a good leader and tactician. A Great swords woman and pretty good at thinking on her feet. She was literally programmed for this role. I imagine she would probably reach a higher rank had she not defected, so I bet either Cyclonus or Galvatron would notice her. I don't mind the woman Headcanon if that is how your world operates. I hope her natural black hair and brown eyes won't be a problem.

Morethananyking

No, any hair/eyes goes. I always wrote the red eyes was a warrior-mark same with the purple hair, specific to people of Tetrahex. Galvatron's violet eyes that Tetta gets, the same, a mark of the bloodline. I think they are prolly "odd" among the population in that regard. we could do some scene building with time skips... Galvatron will kill those that fail her though, she's always done that, even sane. Cyclonus not really. Neither spend much time with Tettares, they're busy. GOD Cyclonus approaching Lazarette in the hall oned ay, her alone, holding his toddler and introduces the little one to the "upcoming Commander", and hands off this small toddler to a probably stiff Lazarette. I'd love Lazarette to be a favorite among the royals...

Metalpiratequeen

OMG lazarette knowing Tetta since she was an infant. That's precious. Lazarette holding the kid like a football. ::what do I do?! what do I do?!::

Morethananyking

Cyclonus would do it just to see Lazarette be uncomfortable. Gosh we could start it when she first comes to live at the estate, Tetta a little baby, Dinobot also brand new to the estate as the baby's guard... I really don't know exactly what the estate looks like other than it's very big and has several buildings, a huge garden, and is shoved up against a nature preserve... god thinking about Lazarette holding baby Tettares is so sweet T_T

Metalpiratequeen

Sweet I love that Lazarette has such a different relationship with the people who tortured her and raped her in the main verse xD Young naive officer following Cyclonus around trying to make a good impression and vowing to protect Galvatron and her empure.

Morethananyking

Yeah same here. Cyclonus is a vain spoiled pet known for his luxurious tastes and self-pampering but still a formidable warrior, he has the most influence with his mate. She's had him since he was... a child, really (she's older than he is). He's also intimate with Scourge but that's a bit hush-hush though most who live on the estate know, Scourge's wife is a darling too. Not a warrior, she weaves flower crowns, would always put one around Lazarette's neck or in her hair even if she didn't like it. Ahhhh *mind explodes all over thinking heh God though infant Tettares with her big violet eyes and daddy's lavender hair, warm and innocent in Lazarette's arms, smelling like powder and lavender oil, dressed by her father in overly stuffy expensive baby clothes, jewels attached across her forehead. Trying to take one of the buttons from Lazarette's uniform and put it in her mouth, watching light moving across the ceiling. "I have grown fond of diamond against her skin but our Queen complains, says I will make her weak with my pampering." The Temple born trailed in exhale. The infant had her mother's nose and soft mouth but the shape of her father's eyes, his skintone, and hair. She was beautiful but small. When she failed to steal a button she looked at Lazarette's face, making small content coos. I die. T_T Tetta is a runt for a royal baby heh poor thing

Metalpiratequeen

The officer stares in bewilderment at the nest of lavender hair, wide lilac eyes and brown hands resting over her jacket. Lazarette never claimed to be good with children and she was terrified one wrong move would end with her dropping the princess and being beheaded for assassinating the royal heir. "Pampering is good in moderation." She partially agrees. Coming from the lower levels Lazarette thought her upbringing made her strong, but she also believed child innocence deserved to be protected and pampered because of how fleeting it was. "She'll make a fine queen." Her eyes pull away from the hypnotic gaze of the princess and she carefully tries to pry her off. "I think she wants you to hold her again." please take her back before I break her!

Morethananyking

Cyclonus smirked, betraying expression that was usually guarded in public. He took the infant who squealed happily to feel her father's fields again and brought her to his chest. "I have chosen a personal guard for her, a beast, but he is a phenomenal fighter and has talents beyond most of us. He is out of sorts among the finery, I hoped you might remind him of the existence of manners." Cyclonus made a deep sound, distracted by his baby. "I would consider it a personal favor." Crimson eyes glanced at the up-and-coming commander. // could be a good lead in for how she and Dinobot know one another... Lazarette taught him how to not get his head cut off being a rude ass to important people, Dinobot would have been out of his element upon first arrival at the estate lmao

Metalpiratequeen

a beast? How does one teach manners to a beast? "Understood my liege." She says, recognising the order.  (I'm gonna love watching her grow a backbone) And it will be fun watching them learn from each other. Lazarette can be just as wild (her pirate side didn't come out of nowhere, that was the result of millennia worth of repressed feelings and strict rules) So he may be the only one she can snap at and lose her temper with.

Morethananyking

Dinobot has a chip off his shoulder but he'd be an idiot to not take the job as the little one's personal guard but he pretty much hates his betters, being treated the way he has been. He tends to take every opportunity he can to insult or fuck with them especially with Cyclonus willing to defend him (of course he doesn't mess with the big names but someone like Lazarette, oh my god he'd try too hard to razz her until he realized she's not a piece of shit). The blue throated beast scratched his thick scaled neck and glowered at her. He was sitting in the sunlight outside the east building, snorting and gurgling with his boots off. He was filing the black claws on his toes, ignoring baffled and disgusted looks from anyone coming and going. "Unless you want to buy me a drink, girl, you are blocking my sunlight." He said, voice fluxing tiers of rough.

Metalpiratequeen

The newly appointed commander stares down at the lounging reptilian with contempt. "You are the royal guard for the future of this kingdom. You wear the monarch's symbol." She explains courtly, purposely not stepping out of his light. "You represent the crown when you wear it and all eyes are on you wherever you go. Bad behaviour and poor etiquette is a reflection on the royal family. You should be at your best and not clipping your toenails in a public place!"(edited) ((OMG I forgot how much if a killjoy she was in her younger years. Still kinda is actually xD))

Morethananyking

Dinobot slouched foreword, elbows on his knees. He eyed her level, thinking. His tan skin covered with reptilian patterns; brown, russet, bits of orange and gold flake. His palms, throat, and dashed in the corners of his eyes was a bright cerulean blue, vivid. Slit pupils narrowed, "Have you been sent to teach the animal his manners?" He growled low. "I have had enough of your kind, I will serve that child with my heart out before my every word and action. I doubt clipping my toenails soils her radiance, whoever you are, my daily annoyance, it seems." // she can be a killjoy, Dinobot is a crabby bara lizard his art did not do his muscles justice, I find it hard to find people who draw my characters as I see them, they end up smaller and more pretty but I see Dinobot with that big chest and upper body, big arms, solid muscle... oh shit I forgot to add all his teeth are sharp like they are as a bot he also likes to argue LOL

Metalpiratequeen

She does not like his attitude, not one bit, and loathes the idea of working with him just as much as he does her. At his statement, she clicks her heels together and brings herself to the position if shun. "I am Lazarette of the Mithral Sea. Commander of her majesty's fleet and your newly appointed instructor in the art of manners...what is your name exactly, beast?" //such a dork xD

Morethananyking

Dinobot snored, a sound he couldn't control, nasal and froglike. He stood abruptly and tossed the chair he'd been sitting on aside, muscles tense, a line along his thick neck bulging but he wouldn't touch her. He knew better. He forced his overly long fingers to relax, and standing there shoeless in his earth colored tunic as if ready to shed and step into the showers he pressed his blue tongue against sharp teeth. Fine. He had to deal with this one. "Corporal Dinobot," He said roughly. "Exactly." He had little rank, though a respectable rank for what he was. It hadn't been easy for him to climb those few steps but he was aware how little it mattered, how little he mattered. He tilted his head, gurgling reptilian air. "Am I on duty? Am I under orders to learn manners? No I am not," He stooped and snatched his shoes. "I respect those I must to keep my head on my shoulders and beyond that I politely ask to be left alone, Commander."

Metalpiratequeen

He is considerably taller than her but she does not stand down from attention, keeping her gaze level even as she observes the movement of scales over tight muscles and the change in coloration under direct light. Her appearance is pretty normal in comparison, dark skin and toned muscles under her standard uniform. Thick black hair tied back so not to obscure her handsome face, wide nose and brown eyes with a subtle ring of golden flecks. "No one has ordered you to learn, but Consort Cyclonus wishes it regardless."

Morethananyking

Dinobot stilled, Cyclonus was another thing entirely. He was loyal to the man. His body language lost some of its tension, "I see," He snorted, deciding. "You know I have only spoken to two females in my life, three if you count the babbling of my Lord's infant. I suppose I will heed your words, why not buy me a drink, woman?" He grinned, horrible predatory teeth showing along his blue gums. "Or bring something nice to my room, E207, drinking helps things sink in." He tapped the side of his head, short auburn hair healthy in the sunlight. // lmao Cyclonus gave Lazarette a truly shitty task

Metalpiratequeen

Her optics narrow in disgust but she quenches the fire crackling inside if her before it could combust. She takes no offence to the remark against her gender, she is a rarity and of higher rank than himself, in a position if power only few other females have achieved in a male dominated environment. "I'll remember the number. You may join me at the bar for the evening if it helps things sink in." Maybe the drink would do her some good, it was a more relaxed environment and they did get off the wrong foot. //be careful dinobot, Lazarette works hard and plays hard. A few rounds and all sensibility goes out the window with her xD

Morethananyking

"The bartender will not serve me." Dinobot said without any sound of unease. It was the world he lived in, it no longer surprised him. He turned, holding his boots, and stalked back into the building leaving black nail clippings on the gray concrete. // that's alright hahaha

Metalpiratequeen

That didn't surprise her in the slightest. She had never met anyone of his species before and her people were a proud prejudice sort, sooner to invade a peaceful civilisation than offer a hand if friendship. "Meet me at the wolf and the door at eight if you want that drink." She calls after him, the door closing behind him. Business complete, Lazarette turns on her heels and marches across the square to return to her regular duties. Part of her knew this was a foolish task, you can't teach a wolf to act like a dog, but she would do as she was told.

Morethananyking

And thus Lazarette begins a long and humiliating friendship with a gurgling snoring beastman who frequently loses his temper and flips tables, throws chairs, and slams people's heads into the bar, shouting nonsense about his ill-treatment and how he's going to skin everyone and hang their hides on the wall.She can prolly figure out when he's about to freak out and calm him down after a few months of hanging out with him...

I'm gonna sound stupid here, but do you have a list with all your current aus on that we can look at? You've got quite a few and I fear I'm lossing track with them all. It also dose not help that tumblr can be a jerk with the tags as well.

I’m happy to make a list :D so far officially there’s

Cybertron’s Future AU

Cybertron’s Future AU Expanded

Cybertron’s Legacy AU

Crack Kids AU

Cops and Mobs AU

Thorns and Thrones AU

Humanformers AU

you’re right in saying tumblr is a jerk with tags, pretty much the whole lot of them don’t show all the posts listed under each tag when you search for it on my blog. SO,,,

what I’ve suggested is to click the tag you want to see on my blog directly on the post, not search bar, and then all of what I have organized under that specific tag will show (like you can still search for the tag, but from there to see all posts for that tag, click on the tag on the post itself! and extra step it’s so ANNOYING I know I’m sorry)

I don’t think I can even make a big tag link post because of the fact that my blog has self destructed my tagging system :/ it sucks so bad but fuck it we ball

I will tag each AU ^^^directly on this ask to start the trail for you!
