#deadlock having a thing for medics because of ratchet is so so so so funny to me

[velvetwyrme]

I knew the Car MILF section would absolutely get someone and then the ambulance or adjacent vehicles are under sexy nurse.

Probably have a certain decepticon assassin (name is one letter off and sounds like headlock) coming in for the ambulances.

sexy nurse... ehrjjdksngkenk,,,,,

i assume ur going in a Dratchet direction with that (YES... very fun) but also Deadlock/Drift having a thing for medics in general is hysterical to me fhfjfbdk

i think i read 1 (one) fic abt it and it stuck in my brain. same with First Aid having a thing for helicopters (on top of his thing for Wreckers)

[keferon]

I had the realization that during the whole "Soundwave takes control of all the pilots/Mechs" thing. The only pairing so far that'd be completely unaffected is Ratchet and Deadlock. Because Ratchet is just straight up not a pilot, just a medic/engineer. Which is weirdly funny to me. Ratchet's gonna end up being the MVP of the human characters in that arc because he's the only one not mind controlled.

Quick note, Shockwave is the one who takes control, not Soundwave.

AND HAHA. YEP. Ratchet would probably be the one who has to figure out the whole situation because he’s immune to Shockwaves mind control and has pretty much enough degrees👍

Also yeah Shockwave probably wouldn’t be able to control Deadlock I imagine (unless he somehow in advance discovered that Deadlock exists and came up with the way to control him to).

Maybe it is for the better that Deadlock is immune. I still remember that his canon metod of fighting mind control is to attempt a fucking suicide.

Can you imagine what kind of epic entrance these two would make? Ahahah its just. Oh no the whole base is under Shockwaves control, all pilots are his puppets now and all regular staff is freaking the fuck out but then. BANG. Ratchet shows up. And everyone is like. We are SO GLAD to see you granpa but you probably shouldn’t have come here, it’s too dangerous. But Ratchet is like it’s okay I got a backup, and then his goddamn car turns into giant and very angry alien igigkhkhhk

[starheavenly]

(this was about a million more questions than I meant to send sorry! I got ahead of myself, answer what you’d like, no pressure.)

You mentioned Pharma’s codependency with Ratchet and how some deceptions would fake injuries (or actually get injured) to see Ratchet. How do you think he reacted to that? / Was he allowed to help medical visits at all (not saying they allowed him to surgery of course, but more like a basic check up and etc) or was that only after the whole redemption/recovery happened?

Speaking of Pharma’s codependency; how did that work out when Deadlock started to warm up to Rachet? Had he gotten enough work and healing in that it wasn’t an issue or was it a mess? XD (Would be wild of Pharma and Deadlock got along before they added Ratchet)

I'm glad people are invested in these three; they're obviously my favorites! Okay, just had my morning coffee, so it's time for a wall of text.

I still think my idea that half the Decepticons have a tiny crush on Ratchet is pretty funny. It was a little joke on the fandom since so many simp for Ratchet (me, it's me). I don't think Pharma ever noticed the correlation, though. Like I've said, I've moved on from the yandere idea, so Pharma isn't actively threatening people; he's just clingy. Maybe the cons stopped getting injured because they were wary of Pharma being around.

Honestly, I don't think Pharma is ever getting his medical license back. But at the same time, I think part of healing is accepting that you can't be the same person you were or do the same things you used to do. He probably just helps with tools and getting supplies. After a bit of recovery, he would get some of his snarkier personality back and be a bit of a backseat medic to Ratchet. He's healthier but still a control freak, that's for sure.

And Pharma obviously has a resentment to Decepticons in general, so he did not like Deadlock at first; but Deadlock didn't really care about Pharma nor Ratchet either.

This is a super silly detail, but Deadlock writes/talks to Cyclonus on Cybertron since they're all supposed to write to someone. Cyclonus is the one who convinces Deadlock to make more of an effort to get to know people (like how she got to know a little sanitation bot) Once Deadlock actually begins to try, he finds out a bit more about Pharma's whole deal. Deadlock discovers that Ratchet still cares about and helps Pharma even after what he did. Seeing how different Pharma was (a bit of a parallel to Drift/Deadlock), he begins to warm up to both of them.

(Pharma 100% cheats at their games of Go, by the way.)

And I know you didn't ask, but I didn't explain how/why Deadlock leaves Earth. He noticed how fond he was of Ratchet, and that scared him. He really didn't think he deserved any sort of redemption after all he'd done. Windblade and Chromia visit, and he steals their ship. Yes, there is Zenith!Wing. I have to design him, but he's a silly hermit who teaches Deadlock that there will be people willing to forgive him and care about him (also swords; he shows him how cool swords are). So Deadlock goes back to Earth as Drift! And my dratchma bias continues.

[yayasvalveplay]

TFP Orion Pax arc inspired Ratchlock-ish thing.

Amnesiac Deadlock believing he's still Drift from the Dead End and latching onto Ratchet because that's the only person present he recognises and therefore the only person he feels safe with. Team Prime reluctantly bring him back to base with them, but gradually begin to notice 'Drift' is behaving increasingly suspiciously. (Well, Optimus is determined to see the best in him, and Ratchet's genuinely connecting with him, but Arcee is definitely not a trusting person.)

Eventually, they confront him about faking his amnesia, and he comes clean - whilst the amnesia was real, he recovered his memories several episodes ago. However, by that point he'd already gotten a glimpse of what a supportive environment looks like, with a leader who isn't high as balls off evil space drugs and teammates who aren't constantly plotting against each other. If they knew he'd reverted back to Deadlock, Ratchet would stop taking care of him and he'd be returned to the Decepticons, so he just... didn't tell anybody, hoping they'd let 'Drift' start over as an Autobot if he didn't know who he was.

Now Team Prime have to figure out what to do about their 'new member' - send him back to the Decepticons knowing their location, or keep him around and hope he's not lying about wanting to defect? (Ratchet especially is going through it.)

I fucking loved the Orion pax arc in TFP. I wish it went on for longer, Hazbro are cowards for not giving us feral Orion in the show.

ANYWAYS.

I love this so much, Deadlock really wants to keep being an autobot, he likes it better and the kiddos are fun to be around. He does not want to go back onto that ship with a crack addict. please Prime, do not throw him out.

Plus he's simping for Ratchet, He wants to court him.

Though funny, Wheeljack coming, and there's immediate tension between them. They both really want to fuck that medic, and do not want to share.

MTMTE #21:  The Sound of Breaking Glass, a prose story- James Did, in Fact, Put That Baby in That Robot

It’s after the fight with Tyrest and his goons, but before Cyclonus stabs Tailgate with a sword for medical purposes. The portal has stopped working, Skids isn’t making any sense, and Rodimus is about to do one of the scariest things you can do as an adult person.

He’s going to make several business-related phone calls.

Perceptor trying to be funny is the oddest take I’ve seen in a bit. I was completely unaware that he had a sense of humor.

Rodimus is looking pretty rough from that nonsense he pulled in the space-crucifix, but he doesn’t want to bother Ratchet, since Tailgate’s still looking like he’s gonna bite it at this point. Besides he’s still got work to do- he fully intends on getting the space bridge back in working order.

The bridge, unfortunately, isn’t making it easy for him; thing’s falling apart and bursting into flames at random intervals.

Rodimus wants to make the last few days at least somewhat worthwhile, a sentiment that Minimus catches onto, and doesn’t seem to agree with. What would it mean, if they were able to say “well, Tailgate, half a religious order, and the concept of trust in the law are dead, but at least we got to finish off our road trip in record time!”? Food for thought, Minimus, I’ll give you that.

Brainstorm runs through the room like a maniac, over the metaphorical moon about something, as he interrupts the conversation. Once he’s gone, Minimus asks about his outer shell, I guess because he feels naked without it. As he collects his belongings, Rodimus brings up their earlier conversation, and reaffirms that he wants to make up for what’s happened. Minimus acknowledges his words, but doesn’t really offer anything in return.

Back over on the Lost Light, we get subjected to a title drop.

Rung is meeting Fort Max in the hollowed-out remains of Swerve’s, because his office is full of corpses. This is a sort-of continuation of their conversation in the brig, where Rung forgave Fort Max for being a big part of why he got shot. They have a brief discussion about where Max’s head is at, and whether or not he’s ready to get back into the workforce after the nightmare hellscape that was Garrus-9. Rung seems to think that the fact that Fort Max is considering his mental health in the first place is a good sign, and offers his services should he be needed.

Too bad they’re going to have to tele-con, since Fort Max is being sent off the ship for his new job.

Over at Rodimus’ office, Rodimus considers hiring Atomizer to redecorate his pad- even though they seem to have very similar tastes when it comes to paintjobs- because he just isn’t feeling the sick flames and hot pink interior anymore.

I see Rodimus is taking the “no fun allowed” route to personal growth. Wonder how long that’ll last.

He has a think about the last conversation he had with Drift before he threw him off the ship, the memory laced with “Overlord murdered a lot of people because of me” guilt. Drift hadn’t been thrilled about the prospect of Rodimus’ inquiry, and made that much known, then volunteered to be the scapegoat. Rodimus hated this idea, horrified by the idea of letting Drift take the fall for him, after all the work he’d put in to try and be liked by people after the whole “Deadlock” thing.

Then Drift revealed that he’s got another reason for not letting Rodimus get kicked off the ship.

Back at Swerve’s, the man himself has made an appearance, interrupting the meeting between Rung and Fort Max, and proceeding to make a fool of himself by way of slapstick. It’s okay though, because he’s too high on actually feeling good about himself for once in his miserable life to feel physical pain.

Rodimus more or less insinuated this exact idea back in issue #17, and it made him so upset he was about to close his bar completely down over it. Good to see our robot Pagliacci bouncing back so nicely.

Brainstorm enters the scene like a vengeful spirit, and I guess Rung and Fort Max just disappear into the aether as he has a little chat with Swerve. Turns out that someone went and took a peek inside the super-secret, possibly-sun-destroying briefcase Brainstorm keeps on his person at all times, and he wants to know who. It was probably a little easier to swing than usual, given that Brainstorm had given up the springs on the clasps of the thing to help break everyone out of moon jail, and he probably had to take at least a little time to recover from his soul halfway evaporating out of his eyes.

Swerve makes a joke, because he has a lot of trouble handling serious situations, then we get confirmation that Brainstorm kidnapped a fucking zygote from the moon.

Brainstorm has a baby inside him.

James, I’m begging you, we can’t keep doing this.

Later, Ratchet’s checking on Tailgate after his stabbing/stabbing repair/cybercrosis cure injection.

Swerve what the FUCK do you think you’re doing with that medical biowaste?

Minimus comes in, looking very silly, as he’s having a heck of a time putting the Magnus Armor back on.

Minimus would like some help getting dressed, and, because clothes for space robots seem to skew more towards body parts than anything else, he’s come to the best doctor on the Lost Light.

(Nobody tell First Aid I said that. I fear his wrath.)

Ratchet is surprisingly handy with the Armor, and it’s revealed that he’s known about Ultra Magnus actually being a completely different, much smaller guy, since the very start.

As in, when Tyrest first started pulling this nonsense.

He didn’t say anything to anyone because he didn’t see the point, then lets Minimus know that he’s his favorite, which gives him a much-needed ego-boost. Minimus wanders off to go put the rest of his clothes on, leaving Ratchet to pull a body out of the morgue that isn’t dead.

Later, on Luna 1, we get to see Rodimus get bummed out about the baby moon not flaring back up. It’s not for lack of trying- he’s crawling around on the ground, rubbing his face in the dirt, all while Getaway watches- but it doesn’t seem like the babies are coming back. Getaway thinks it’s weird that it just kinda turned off, but then again this wasn’t exactly a typical situation, now was it? He tries igniting the Hot Spot himself, planting the first seed of his primus apotheosis diagnosis years from now, then asks our dear captain what’s next on the agenda.

Rodimus, saddened by the loss of literally a billion lives, shakes out his pocket onto the ground.

Don’t worry, the Matrix was in there, so it was totally respectful of the dead. Fort Max rides up, playfully threatening to arrest Rodimus for littering, and we finally get to know what his new career path is.

Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord.

Also, he brought a friend.

Red Alert, jumping right back into his work, has decided to stay with Fort Max on Luna 1, to chase bad guys and help the Circle of Light recover/prepare for attack. Then he tells Rodimus to turn his phone back on, because Perceptor’s been trying to call him for a while now.

Back at Tyrest’s sweet digs, Perceptor’s gotten the communications system working, and is ready to call Cybertron. Cybertron, who probably thinks they all died back in issue #1, despite Blaster’s best efforts in issue #13 and #15. Blaster did not help with this project, probably because he was busy getting his tiddy compartment fixed.

Perceptor dials, everyone wonders what Bumblebee’s been up to, they get their hopes up, and we get one hell of a reveal for anyone who hasn’t been following along with the sister series up to this point.

Ah, that’s right, I’ve got to do a lightning round for RID, don’t I?

In the Postscript of this prose story, we meet Outrigger, a member of the Circle of Light who will be established as a big honkin’ dork the more we learn about him. He’s just run into Red Alert’s office to tell him about Tyrest having moved. This is a very odd occurrence indeed, as Tyrest was shot in the spine, and should not be able to move. 

The two of them head over to where Tyrest is being held, only to find he’s disappeared from a locked room.

Well, shit.

I CAN”T WAIT TO SEE MORE OF THIS SHOW I LOVE IT

[a-life-revised]

Megatron snorts a laugh- it doesn't feel great to do, but he does find it incredibly funny that Deadlock would even suggest such a thing. "Did I talk to Ratchet- of course I speak to Ratchet, we're a little more than friendly, these days, I consider us close. Have I told Ratchet about my helmaches? Abso-fragging-lutely not."

Because then Ratchet would want to do a full frame scan and then he'd.. see. He'd see everything, and then he'd fuss, and while Ratchet is known for his fussing, of course, Megatron knows it for what it is, now.

Ratchet cares, so much so that it hurts him, and he'd be upset, the shape Megatron's frame and struts are in, and.. Megatron is not afraid, of course. He can't claim that.

But there is some part of him that churns and curdles, even knowing what he knows now about how to bw a medic, about telling Ratchet.

He likes Ratchet- he doesn't want to know what it would do to Ratchet if Ratchet saw everything.

"I doubt there's anything he can do about it at all, as it is. He's a damn good medic, if not one of the best Cybertron ever saw. But he's not a-" He still can't bring himself to even tall about it. Stupid. "His sort of surgery doesn't involve processors."

Deadlock's servos on his faceplate, again, and Megatron's helm slumps forward into them, cheek rubbing against the palm of one, optocs shuttering closed, again.

"I haven't spoken to Ratchet about this at all."

{ @vindictiae }

"Have you so little faith in me?"
