[daiourage]

(long post warning because I love to talk 🥂 the parts I want to be seen the most are highlighted in pink)

Hi guys. Text post here.

Y'all remember the AU trend that I made my own take on (part 1 is here and part 2 is here)? I'd like anyone reading this to say your ideas!!!

I'm in the middle of doing homework for my research group (it's the thing I've been talking about sometimes in the tags when I reblog something), and though I'll be done soon, I still won't be posting for another week or so. Not a big deal, obv, and I'm still interacting with the community, but I would like help from y'all!!!

I've been sketching during the downtime of my research and the pages have been piling!!! So expect a sketch dump of this AU (albeit in a slightly different font I suppose) soon!!!

What I would like y'all (anyone reading this) is for help on who to add into this AU!!! send me suggestions on who you'd like to see (I'd like some minor characters but major characters are also welcome)!!! Also what events do you want to happen???

For the explanation of the AU, it's very similar to the premise of the Happy Ending/Two Primes AUs. The main crew will still be the focal point of the AU, but it'll mainly deal with Megs (still D-16 because I want his Prime name to be given to him via Optimus) and his struggles with thinking that he isn't good enough to be a Prime (I'm thinking of calling it the "Other Prime AU").

For the events in the AU, that will relate to the characters that might be added. But, I am planning:

1. Senator Shockwave back!!! 2. Bee will lose his ability to talk via Starscream? (thinking of basing it off of the Starscream vs. D-16 fight where Dee jacks up Scream's voice box;;;) 2.1. Bee's health will be monitored by someone 3. Starscream defecting from the High Guard and fighting against the Autobots 4. Starscream coming back to ask for help (there's a greater evil (I'm thinking of adding Tarn and Pharma but is that too many G1 bots askdjflaksd///)) 5. Autobots and the government (the Council) will be separate factions

I want to add characters that aren't just part of the G1 continuum because while I like the idea of TFOne being an homage to G1, I want to add characters from other continuums just because there's a lot of leeway because it's a new series (possibly).

(Also because it got me back into the fandom. Perhaps it can be separated from TFOne altogether, but the designs will at least be from that side of the continuum. Also I haven't read the TFOne books so tell me if I should definitely not skip someone from there!!!)

For example I do intend to embellish Optimus's and Megatron's designs with G1/IDW references, and I intend to mix IDW characters in there since (if you know me) I really like the idea of TFOne leading into G1/IDW. But, I also intend to put Prime characters/characters with Prime-based designs (since I grew up on Prime and Rescue Bots (I'm kinda still baby tbh)), or characters from Armada and the Animated series, etc. I just would like help adding which ones (thinking about adding Prime-based Knockout (listen the concept of K.O. being a medic is incredibly interesting to me??? I'm totally not biased guys I promise--));;;

(Ratchet and Rung will be in there too!!! I want to add the other Seekers but I don't know how to incorporate them in there when Screamer's on the opposite team and I don't think the Seekers would both fight against Screamer or the Autobots/the Council)

(Maybe Bee will be monitored by K.O.??? i wanted their relationship to be more explored in Prime so this is ENTIRELY biased im no longer gonna hide it (was never hidden in the first place))

(...Also it's a MegOp AU but that's not entirely the focal point.)

(Also also I'm not that adept at making comics so I don't even know if this will be all fleshed out into one;;; but have my ideas anyway *hands this to y'all like it's a resume*)
