random thoughts because I need Cyclonus and Co content (even if it is my own)

fellas. Would it be self-indulgent to rewrite idw2 so that all of Cyclonus’s friends survive and are subsequently integrated into the main plot

So looking at the few pages of content I have of Cyclonus and Co, why not randomly make up professions and stuff for them because I can?

Pre-war Gridlock would’ve been a manual laborer doing welding work for a living. Met Cyclonus during enlistment along with Grudge and Highfire. Post-war, assuming he survived, he probably would’ve decided to go back to university and get a degree in engineering during the subsequent rebuilding phase of Cybertron

Highfire was a low-level security guard for various ship depots and ended up meeting Cyclonus this way; they enlisted together in the war subsequently. After the war, she struggles a bit with reintegration but eventually joins up with the police force for a bit

Grudge worked on one of Cybertron’s early colonies as a trailblazer/scout/builder before returning back to the homeworld to settle back down and train other prospective colonists on interstellar survival- didn’t get that chance when the war broke out and he enlisted. Post-war, he bounces around for a little before getting into the rebuilding of Cybertron, cools off a bit and gets to mentor a new-spark, even.

Provoke is a stuntsman/sports videographer who doesn’t hold down jobs well- she bounces from place to place doing as she pleases before deciding to enlist at the start of the war and meeting Paragon, then the others. Post-war, she continues running odd jobs and cohabitates with Cyclonus and Paragon for awhile before being nudged back into videography.

Cyclonus is also involved with the expansion- he’s part of the conquest forces along with his mentor before something goes wrong and they’re forced to return to Cybertron, where he chooses to stay. He starts working security as well, where he meets Highfire and the war breaks out- postwar, he settles down with Paragon and supports him as head of his personal guard…

Paragon was a colonist in one of the rougher, more hostile, far-out colonies- after years of fighting for the land he chose to leave and settle back on Cybertron as an artist. After enlisting, he meets and falls in love with Cyclonus at one of the training camps. Post-war, having experienced the front lines and the expansionist age, he takes some time to think over his life choices and eventually runs for senator in one of Cybertron’s cities.

I’d also like to think that most, if not all of them would be neutral-decepticon leaning, missing the expansion era- though most of them will never officially affiliate with the Ascenticon/Decepticon movement. But they will all get back together as a team to safeguard Paragon during subsequent Decepticon takeover and negotiations. I’d like to think they make it all out fine- they deserve it :p

reading through the first few issues of lost light through a decepticon perspective (fic research wahoo!) is sooo,,, i recommend everyone do it at least once. like ignore the cast on functionalist cybertron, ignore what's going on with lug and anode, even partially ignore the drama between cyclonus and tailgate (but not fully ignore them, they're important here).

focus on fangry and rapidfire and the handful of other decepticons we see. because having to get into their minds for a fic writing?? really helped me put together how like. fucked their situation was. maybe a meta post on this soon.

📓

I have a Soulmate!AU TFPish with IWD elements idea where the human OC/SI has been hearing their soulmate hum and sing to them since babyhood. They even became an acomplished musician. Their soulmate, who had such a magnificent rich bass, would even play improvisational echo games with them with a particular song. But with a diffrent one he always ignored them.

Then the Deceptacons attack their city. The human is shocked and horrified. Soundwave was blaring the Deceptacon Battle anthem. It was their song. They give up their instrument and stop singing. They join up with team prime and throw themselves into the war. They become a munitions specialist, basically sharing a braincell with Wheeljack the Wrecker. Ok they become a Wrecker in their own right.

Eventualy Jazz pokes and pesters them into revealing why they don't do music. Miko plays the chords the soulmate transcribes for Jazz. Jazz wishes his worst fears weren't confirmed when Miko mangles the opening of the Empeyrien Suite. Jazz just got word the DJD's answering Megatron's call the same way he answered OP's to come to Earth.

Soulmate has orders from OP to reveal herself to her Soulmate if she's Endangered by the djd. One the shock might give her window to escape. If it doesn't Tarn's at least likely to kill his soulmate quickly.

Tarn and his mechs are searching an abandoned booby trapped base when he hears from the speakers and in his head a familiar voice rough with disuse, heavy with venom. The shock of is amplified by the words he now understands "🎼🎵I am flesh and I am bone...🎵" His sparkmate who he assumed to be a sparkling or protoform is a squishy. Worse when he finally catches sight of them and the badge of the Wreckers proudly tattooed to their shoulder. Nuke or not he and his team got very scorched and exploded. To add insult to injury while carrying his sparkmate out of there one last blast went off covering him, his team, and his reluctant sparkmate in a sickly unicorn vomit of glitter.

This is the song soulmate dumps on Tarn

Absolutely adore when franchises know when to deploy the Main Musical Theme(TM) that people associate with older installments. You gotta use it at the right moment. You can't over-use it or it gets stale. But if it hits right by god it hits right

What.

Dude…I’m taller than my twenty-three year old sister. I literally got last place in a crawling contest in 5th grade. And I once drank expired chocolate milk on purpose.

i should've learned the lesson of not reading fics that i know will be great but emotionally destroy me in the middle of the day. how am i supposed to get any work done now???

Paragon would totally be the Mom Friend™ of the group. And by extension, of course he definitely has pretty much everything and anything helpful (or just random) stored somewhere in his subspace. Spare wires? Check. Extra signal flares? He's got four. Duct tape to shut Grudge's sarcastic motor mouth for once? Oh, for sure. Hell, he's probably pulled an (open) bucket of paint out of his robot pockets at some point, to the great surprise of his unit. Well, never hurts to be prepared, right?

TRUE

Jonah is. One of the saddest characters in the au, If not the saddest. Like he didn’t deserve half of the shit he’s been through

He is the embodiment of how twisted mark is, and how even morally good people aren’t exempt from his rage

Ngl, would be kinda cool to imagine an idea of lis2 sifu AU(but this game(lis2) is so suck that It won't let It work😒specially on aspect of the villans idk who can be💦),(sigh), okay, lets think, the main characters I not even need to say who will be, do I?, this yang, his our main characters big brother...sooo It all points to sean(but its kinda weird taking in consideration we also have a "sean" in the game, tho sean doesn't look like neither of them, tho "I tired of this shit"(this a dialogue of this sean(sifu)) is a very sean(lis2 sean) thing to say😒, and the older version of this yang doesn't combine with the older version of sean(that could be him from bb I guess?), It doesn't need to be coherent to the original characters, lets pretend sean being this yang so It makes more sense with Daniel, the vengeance, like, Daniel would be avenging who? Because in the logic of the game, the main characters are avenging their father's death, so Daniel would be avenging...Esteban?😒(spongebob hawaiian cocktail playing in background), sorry!! I just don't like esteban(I respect him as sean and daniel's father, but I don't care about him), I mean this one kind makes sense, the problem is that I DON'T LIKE ESTEBAN💦(and the visual gets me too, our main characters father is an old man, I mean esteban is an old man too, but our main characters father looks like a grandpa and Esteban looks like "a daddy😩👌"or dilf(I don't like much this word), tho playing the opening again ngl I found the old man kinda good looking, he's an old man of respect, I prefer the old man than Esteban😒), this fajar, this one is easy, for me super combine to be the gangster/short dude that got fucked up both in bb and lw(cuz I feel this dude have a tension with daniel, the same way our main characters have a tension with this fajar because he is the one that killed them, so they have this fear, but also this hate/rage towards him), actually all the three First bosses could be portrayed by the gang members If you want, the short dude would be this fajar, the big bald dude this sean and the girl could be this kuroki, this one makes sense cuz those are characters I could Cleary see daniel messing with, its just funny cuz they are very random, okay, but if you want some important characters, this fajar for me super combines this dude, this sean unfortunaly idk, this kuroki if you want It could be lyla😒(the problem is that daniel likes this bitch and y'know... our main characters kill them!, so daniel would never😩👌, although daniel in the beggining also liked cassidy and then he almost killed her, so I kinda don't doubt It🙄, one of the things that make lyla combine with this kuroki for me, its that both of them combine with the word "bitch", I feeling kinda bad to associate this kuroki with this word 😅but it kinda combines with her, but ofc way more to lyla, ugh, I don't like this girl), the old lady I mean this jinfeng, tsc, its very obvious who combine to be, lisbeth!, even the way our main characters kill this jinfeng is exactly alike the way Daniel kills lisbeth and I never notice that, I mean I founded similar when I saw it, but its more similar than I thought(i always thought that our main characters killed this jinfeng by hanging her, but playing again and again now I see that they actually break/crack her neck, thats what kills her, which exactly what daniel's do when he kills lisbeth, and both deaths/scenes are kinda creppy, our main characters is a cool creppy, daniel's to me its a bad creppy(I have a trauma with this scene/episode 4 in general💦), but I will accept for the sake of coherence😓(jokes asides, what makes lyla have something in common with this kuroki is that both have some sadness/mental problem(like depression!? idk what this kuroki have, but she has/had something and lisbeth and this jinfeng are both very gredy old ladies)
