Starscream unexpectedly makes Cybertronian history when he births the biggest shuttle sparkling in recorded history!

"Top news story today. Starscream prince of Vos has just given birth to his darling baby girl. And she's a big one. Coming up roughly to 1,256 pounds. That's so close to an adult minibot weight. Quite litterly a world record"

"That must of been quite the baby to carry. No wonder he was put on birth rest only 3 orbital cycles in."

"That's right. Though we should let the happy carrier abd sire return to their family duties. It's not every day you sparkling becomes famous not just for one reason but for two."

Where are yall wearing the mechpreg merch to

[transingthoseformers]

Need Optimus to impregnate Shockwave. God, that skinny hoe needs to be filled with babies.

I definitely agree with this

I can just imagine Sunstorm deep in prayer while riding a huge spike trying to keep his composure, or saying some "bless my forge with your sparklings" type shit. Just ughh I love him being a slutty priest.

in all honesty this is some god tier (badum tss) kinky shit. maybe it's the weird religious upbringing, but hierophilia (i think that's what it's called) is super underrated, at least to me. just deep in prayer, whether it be to a higher power or the bot on top of him, offering up his body to a higher cause (read: carrying sparklings)... woof, that's some good shit. goooood shit

I think TFA Sentinel should get pregnant and just have the worst transfluid cravings (like from fics where you have to keep fucking to help build the bitlet) He’s so wet all the time, that it’s a bigger hassle to keep his panels closed instead of open. He’s came five times but it won’t stop until someone fills him up again. Hopefully his partner has good stamina!

Oh, if only he weren't too proud to go to his old buddy Optimus... Op would have him crying that it's too much in minutes! That mech can go as long as Sentinel needs, and then even longer...

Personally I think it would be funny if Elita knocked up Optimus but of course,it's just for shits and giggles on my part

May I know your opinion on this?

Because why not it's just funny to think Optimus having cramps on tummy because the sparkling is like Elita, behemoth-

no cybertronian is safe from mechpreg 😈

and an Optimus getting sparked up by Elita? All the more yummy ☺️

[violetaquadelight]

I can't believe it either buddy.

[starscream-is-my-wife]

One of my headcannons is that Primes can't get pregnant because their chests have their sparks, T-cog, and the matrix, there's like, no room for a sparkling. The matrix is like an IUD lmao

so instead their sire protocols are just really strong since their carrier one can't activate, RIP Ratchet though that sparklings gonna be huge

Jazz hears his bitlet for the first time

Mech Pregnancy and Protoform Development of Gestating Sparklings

Here is what I have compiled on Cybertronian "reproduction" from More Than Meets the Eye, specifically the Holiday Special and Volume 5:

Holiday Special:

So this would be the protoform development for a forged sparkling and it lends support to that, if Cybertronians gave birth to their own Sparklings, then they would likely be an egg-like form (yes, I know it's not actually a sparkling, but can we all agree that Swerve is strangely well-informed on protoform development for forged Cybertronians?)

So what would slide out from the gestation tank has no discernable features yet and still needs hours if not days before the protoform resembles an adult Cybertronian, but I still don't have an answer for the size of this thing - at what point does it reach its full size? Cybertronians before the war went to academies, so what point does the protoform receive an education instead of having relevant information jammed into its brain module right before deployment like a MTO cold construct?

(More under cut)

But, let's be honest, I am going out of order here. Let's go to Volume 5 where we encounter a hot spot of re-ignited sparks on the moon:

So this is being constructed cold.

And this is forged - as well as the official story for how cold constructed bots were made, which apparently differs from the truth. Here is the truth for how cold constructed sparks were actually formed:

So all cold constructs were made from the matrix - but what if they did come from igniting healthy sparks to make new ones?

What if you used the energy of two sparks to create an entirely new one and that sparkling attached itself to a parent spark for some time before it dropped to a gestation tank (this is common in fanfiction and I love it so much, it makes the most sense)? As these two orbs of immense power and life resonate with one another, creating waves of energy that can be interpreted as pleasurable for the interfacing bots, excess energy could gather itself into a separate orb that borrows the life code from both parents, becomes randomized, and this creates a new life code for a separate entity. It stays in the spark chamber for a period of time - I don't know, decoding or storing energy or something, I am very bad with electronics - before dropping down to an artificial gestation tank.

And this is where the valve/plug comes into play if you so desire because now we have the issue of, where is the spark going to go? It needs a protoform. It needs the materials to make a protoform. It also needs liquids.

Cybertronians seem to live off energon and anything you can make from energon, but there have been references and images in the comics of Cybertronians have oil as a waste product, so they need a separate compartment for oil away from their energon tank and they also are said to have (in fanfiction, at least): oral solvents, lubricant, transfluid, optic fluid, etc... All those will require their own compartments and they will all have either been diluted from the energon or will have an origin in a separate liquid that isn't mentioned. Let's keep in mind that they will also need some sort of oil for their hinges and their nanites for upkeep.

So I believe these gestation tanks are where the Sparklings develop their egg-like protoform with all these liquids that they themselves can't make yet, and I think they get what they need from nanite colonies as there is no umbilical cord (not unless you want the bots to have belly buttons). I like to think of them as nannyites - nanites that, once a protoform hits the gestation tank, have latent codes that becomes active and now have protoform-related tasks versus whatever tasks they did beforehand. The nannyites will likely take these resources from the carrying parent, everything from fluids to energon stores to living metal that the nannyites will adapt or make compatible for the sparkling.

So this carrying parent suddenly has fewer nanites colonies themselves, a thinner layer of living metal, and depleted storages of fluids.

Hear me out, hear me out: Valveplug interfacing helps the carrying parent because transfluid will contain necessary materials for the protoform.

I am going to take it a step further and say that it is that first shot of transfluid into the gestation tank during spark and valveplug interfacing creates input that electronically signals to the receiving parent to gather the excess energy from the spark play via centripetal force like a satellite and that force signals the excess energy to turn on life codes it recycled from both parents and create its own life code. That transfluid inside of the gestation tank also turns on those latent codes for the nannyites to get the compartment prepared. It's that first dose of necessary materials and every dose of transfluid after that is stored in the gestation tank for the protoform.

Which brings me to the idea that I have seen on AO3 where bots go into heat:

What if a mech goes into heat as a way to store transfluid from their partner?

I am largely talking out of my ass here because I don't know anything about how machines work, but I know there are a lot of hormones and signals and work that goes into human pregnancy.

The downside of this is that, if all bots were once forged and now they are, let's say, "birthed", then these constructs would be artificial: the gestation tank and the fertile centripetal force with its satellite sparkling and the interface array with its gestational passage and the nannyites and the transfluid. These would have to be constructed cold and surgically added, and you would have to create codes that turn on these cascading or stacking protocols (I don't know the correct computer term for when one event triggers another event triggers another event and so on) and you would have to manufacture filters and tanks and lines for the creation of gestational lubricant and transfluid.

This is just me rambling because I can't stop thinking about all this, but I am not ready to write a mechpreg story.

Please talk to me about Cybertronian reproduction, I am not normal about this.

Imagining Starscream pregnant with a more than half-ton bitty has me completely and utterly helpless.

He'd be probably the most irritating bot on the planet, given he's immobile and likely in at least a little pain and also INCREDIBLY needy both for ridiculous amounts of energon and minerals but ALSO transfluid. Not just for the bitty, but becuase he's a transfluid whore who thinks he deserves it. (He does)

ALSO because he's so SMUG about the whole deal. I mean, I would be too. It just gets worse as the carriage goes on, because not only is he a cute little seeker managing to carry a shuttle's spawn, but he ends up carrying it to TERM. WITH A RECORD BREAKING WEIGHT. He'd be bragging about having the forge of a titan. He's a top notch carrier.

And he gave BIRTH to it? He probably insisted on doing so, even though it'd be a million times easier to perform a cesarean (or whatever the cybertronian term for it would be) but NO. He's proving he's the BEST at carrying. INCLUDING emergence. Poor skyfire's hand and audials.

Pictures of him holding a sparkling that he HAS to use to arms to hold with the smuggest most accomplished look on his face go down in history.

His hubris is punished when the two try for another and receive the news he's carrying a trine. Hopefully they won't break any records.

See this anon gets it. Star is so big and round during his carrying. And when he gives birth. Ya it breaks him a little bit. But it's the pain he will endure again if it means having another baby with Skyfire.

Hrs supper smug about it too. Look at what his body was able to accomplish. He did this, this is big beautiful baby girl. She possibly also grows quickly. So she's taller than him by month 1

(I hc it takes a full year for a bot to be fully grown)

But also him having a trine as his next batch of baby's. Though wouldn't it be funny if he got another world record but this time for the smallest cybertronian to be born. They all fit in the palm of starscreams hand.

Megatron is the carrier but the sparkling(s) likes to sit and hid inside Optimus's chassis because they can see EVERYTHING they want from the inside without anyone can see them thus it's the best hiding spot from strangers and it's comfy and warm in there, plus they even have their own night lamp (it's the Matrix of Leadership) 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[transingthoseformers]

Honest to god how funny would it be if Starscream and Jetfire got back together after the war and had a sparkling— somehow without the other decepticons knowing until the last minute

[pollopom]

life is so yaoiful

[my-anndreamer]

I made a sketch! I fell in love in Bee Earthspark, he so cuteeee!!!! ^^ By the way Bumblebee is now on his 15 month of spark-pregnancy

Bonus!

Breakdown will spoil this sparkling <3
