This is Divorce AU Anon and I absolutely adore the concept of the family photo but it's worse than that even if it was full extended family!

Rodimus spent some of his early years with the Decepticons and Megatron has shared custody. Starscream is his favorite uncle to absolutely everyone’s confusion and horror and if Starscream is there then his giant shuttle husband Jetfire is there and their menace.

Plus Aunt Arcee and Uncle Cliffjumper with their twins Elita (1) and Tailgate (II)! That's the person who taught Damus how to make a shiv and Rodimus's first racing instructor. They would have to be included.

Grandpa Alpha Trion is also still alive and with him comes a whole parcel of issues that Laserbeak would spend the entire time recording while Soundwave tries to get a picture before the inevitable explosion.

The day would end with at least one fight, possible matchups including Baby Fight, Optimus v. Overlord, Ratchet v. Megatron, Starscream v. Megatron, Damus v. Overlord's Kneecaps, Whirl v. Any Unprotected Helm, Alpha Trion v. Megatron when he makes an old fashioned comment, Rodimus v. Megatron and Optimus, Arcee v. Starscream, etc.

The chaos will occur but before or after the photo is taken is the question.

The only people guaranteed not to start shit are Magnus, Cliffjumper, First Aid, and Jetfire.

Jesus Christ this is one massive family, proof of how complicated and amazing social connections can be, there are so many opportunities for pre/during/post photo fights, also ohhhhh Alpha Trion's inclusion gives us so many fun little things too like. That dude is older than balls.

It's gonna be like one of those "search for these things!" picture puzzles where exactly everything is chaotic and there's a delightful little scene to be had wherever you look in the photo.

Imagine Whirl's child leash comes loose and it's everyone's helms at peril. Alpha Trion what are you saying and why is it Megatron who's gonna throw down with you. Rodimus wasss exactly not subtle.

Hello, hope it's not a dumb question (I literally just found you) but I saw that you drew starscream with his optics covered while Op takes care of him

Could I know why he has his optics covered?

Oh that’s easy, I’m making fan art (propaganda) of the “young seekers au” for contex on the au, “The war ended with a lucky shot. Megatron and Shockwave were dead, Starscream was missing, and the majority of the Decepticons were captured, or even helping the Autobots rebuild.” But starscream actually was still on the nemesis stuck inside an isolation cell thanks to megatron and how megatron was dead he never let him out (Oops) so starscream was stuck there for a long time, until Optimus realice that and when to rescue him, but starscream was already super damage so in the end he can’t hear, see or talk and can barely move.

And meanwhile the rest of Autobots are rebuilding Optimus and ratchet take some extra time to make sure starscream is ok, safe and recovering but of course starscream being starscream he’s gonna make it difficult.

For more contex read the fanfic that started all this.
