One Prime

[nebulaoftheprimes]

Zoomies

Ok, so imagine that Pax was raised out in the Wilds and he was raised by sparkeaters. I have this scene in my head where sparkling Pax is just running from one end of the den to the other and his adopted parents and some of his older siblings are either watching him (making sure he does not injure himself) or continuing to go about daily life (this happens often and there's still work to do). Some of the younger pups are tumbling after him because Big Brother looks like he's having fun and they want to have fun too.

Once he's older and can go outside the den, he runs around the large clearing the pack lives in. Some other pups join him, because

a) it looks like fun

b) they're bored

c) it's good stamina training so the parents approve.

The parents also encourage them to go and run for a few hours because it gets the pups out of the den, it's something productive, and they can get a nice nap in while they run around.

After Orion gets caught by Trion or somebot, he still has the crippling urge to just run. This scared the living Pits out of the archives at first because first of all, WHERE DID THIS FERAL DEMON COME FROM!?!?! Oh, Head Archivist Trion adopted him? Why!?

Secondly, they had thought a big, wild mechanimal had gotten into the Hall because Pax still had his claws which left long thin groves carved into the polished floors. He was also quiet as frag and could easily sneak up on unsuspecting archivists, interns, or innocent readers.

Once Megatronus got comfortable with the fact the yes, Orion genuinely wanted to help his cause even though he came from the high caste, and no, he wasn't going to sabotage it and he really thought Megatronus had the right idea, he would ask Orion to teach him how to move about just as quietly as him. Now I'm not saying Megatronus wasn't quiet already, because he was. It's just that he large even by cybertronain standards and the fact he was taught by civilized macha. Not someone whose survival depended on silent steps, he wasn't trained by somebot who walk freely amoung sparkeaters with no fear. But seriously, Orion could walk on gravel and not make a sound.

Megatronus and the other gladiators wouldn't care that he grew up with any cybertronian's nightmare (second to only Unicron) as family. He ate living creatures for fuel? Yeah, big deal, any miner had to drink engeron from the lines of their dead fellow in the event of a cave-in. He has claws and fangs, and his armor's sharp and pointed? Welcome to Kaon folks. He could easily blend into the shadows and scare someone? Boo-hoo, pay better attention to your surroundings. He liked to climb walls and hang out on the ceiling? Slightly less normal, but at least it was him and not a feral insecticon looking for a meal. If Orion wasn't working, sleeping, or hanging with his (very few) Iaconian friends, you could bet your bottom dollar he was either talking to Megatronus, Soundwave, Barricade, Breakdown, Starscream, talking to some combination of them, planning the next rally, editing Megatronus' poems, speeches, or any of his writing, he was in Kaon.

Because Kaon was much more accepting than Iacon. He didn't have to shrink on himself, making himself as small and unnoticeable as he possibly could in public, while trying not to spook patrons with his armor and claws. He didn't have to talk less to keep his fangs from being seen as often or have to tuck his servos away for fear of someone complaining he might break a datapad or something fragile. In Kaon, people just accepted he was from the Wilds and continued about their day. In Kaon, Orion could catch an electro-dove midflight with his bare denta (something he wouldn't even dream about doing in Iacon), and bots observe, nod in appreciation of a successful hunt, and continue on as Orion would scarf down the bird in two bites. He understands the importance of fresh food, not wasting it like his fellow upper castemates, good for him. The gladiators knew when Orion got his now dubbed 'zoomies' because if you didn't move out of the way, prepare to be a springboard for Orion to bounce off of. He was small, but when that mech built up momentum, he was a fragging force of nature.

As Optimus Prime, he still had the urge to run, to be free. He just put a stopper on his base instincts, shoved them way down, and went on leading. Much to Ratchet's annoyance. The medic had met with Orion through a meeting of the trainees of important political figures, the younglings who were learning under the guidance of their seniors. No one had wanted to talk to him at that meeting, or any of the following meetings so he just sat in a corner and listened. Ratchet keeps noticing that the understudy of Head Archivist Alpha Trion keeps being ignored, walks over to him, and sticks his servo out, saying. "Hey, I'm Ratchet. I'm training to be the OMC of Iacon. Who are you?"

During the beginning of the war, Ratchet made him go out into the crystal spires for a few days, because he was getting jittery, and a jittery Prime isn't idle in a war. One of the more, memorable, times was when he was caught by some Decepticons (Megs was with them too)

Decepticons: *doing recon in the Old Forest [a really old spire forest the Iacon council had nominated as a planetary treasure. Bots would come from all over to stand under its towering crystal trees]*

one vehicon: *raises his servo, stopping the others*

Megs: *over comms* /what is it?/

vehicon: /somethings coming, and fast. We should hide, it might be an Autobot or two/

Decepticons: *hides along the outer edges of the clearing, they breathe a sigh of relief as a zap-deer comes running out of the crystal tree line*

vehicon: that's odd, I could've sworn there were two-

Optimus-fragging-Prime: *also comes barrelling out of tree line; pounces on deer from behind. He manages to clamp his much bigger and sharper jaw around its throat and rips its neck in half. Then processed to gobble it down in a couple minutes*

one vehicon: *stumbles back, and steps on twig*

Op: *freezes and snaps his gaze up; growling. Stops as Megs slowly steps out hands out and open*

Megs: hello old friend

Op: *slowly creeps up to him; sniffs his servo before snorting a turns away, leaving the cleaning*

To be fair, he gets a massive scowling from Ratchet when he goes back to the war front. He shuts down his higher processing power when Ratch kicks him out of society for a few days, so that's why he came up to Megs and didn't shoot.

On Earth, the kids find out, and they (Miko) love the idea of Optimus running up and down the halls when no one's at base. They could also set up a race on an abandoned road for him. Once Op's secret is out, the children, plus Agent Flower and Mrs. Darby, convince everyone to a race. It's simply they will race each other and Optimus until they don't feel like it anymore. Optimus is the last to get tired, so for the next few hours, everyone's just watching Op run back and forth, wearing the biggest smile anyone had seen him with since the start of the war.

Hey, guys, new random fic idea:

The TFP crew (Autobots, Decepticons, and the respective human allies) get swept up in a gameshow that runs like Game Changer or Fear Factor, where there's no escape but to play. Teams are randomized and the rest get shunted into the "audience" with access to appropriate sleeping quarters, meals, and hygiene basics.

No one is prepared to see how competitive June Darby can get. (Jack knows. His parents met in theater in high school.) And no one expected her to match the dramatics of Megatron. Their match-ups consistently score the highest among the unknown audience.

[wyrm-with-a-why]

The tfp I love fat bitches club with Soundwave about megatron, knockout about breakdown, wheeljack about ratchet and a shy June Darby about Fowler

[lovinglonerhybrid]

I’m mashing tfp and mtmte/LL again.

There’s a town not to far from jasper that all the locals never mention. It has a bar and a library and a little clinic on the main rode through town but the people who live here are strange. The librarian has sad eyes and tho he is welcoming to strangers you can tell he never fully opens up. The clinic has 2 doctors but there are always 3 people there at a time there are whispers of the third person being an ex hit-man possibly hiding from the government. The men at the the tech repair store never have any customers and are often seen tinkering with strange machines through the windows. Every cripple of months June Darby will pack some bags and take her son Jack out to the strange town for a few days. People who have seen them in the town say there never far from two others who look remarkably similar to June. One day Miko and raf decide to sneer Akon and they come face to face with jacks “grandfather” a large man who where’s sunglasses and a face mask around strangers according to Jack. They also meet a blue haired woman with an eyepatch and two remarkably different girlfriends.

Anyway it’s late I’m gonna head to bed let me know if you want more from this. Good night

[dragonskulls]

ok but what if instead of being a bobots they were a kitty cats 🤯

ok so um. yeah. basically tfp warrior cats au of an au (im changing events too here fuck canon; as well as some characterizations). i'll designing the other characters too and maybe give bits of the story im giving it. giggles. Also i haven't read warriors in years i only got to half of the second arc lmao

but anyways this is still on early construction but what i have is that there was this massive as shit colony of cats living in a huge ass territory and idk there was something like the inequality in canon (i haven't read the Aligned books so im making this up on the fly) and yadda yadda war happens tons of cats leave even more die and the territories get ravaged, probably there was a wildfire that was the final nail on the coffin for the old territories (cybertron). The main story would take place in a run down abandoned city where resources are very scarce (which would be earth, also humans sorta disappear here lol) where the brightsparks (autobots) are hiding from the shatterclaws (decepticons) while looking for ways to restore the old territories as well as a stronger connection with Goldenspark (primus) and instead of tech maybe its like,,, starclan magic or something lmao. the humans are mini rats here and are in danger from the shatterclaws just like, killing them or something idk (also also the humans here are NOT up to scale they'd be a bit smaller compared to the drawings here). so some quick stuff:

-shriekingsky is starscream (i wouldve kept the original name but it wouldve ended up being Starstar) who's the traitorous deputy of the shatteredclaws

-shatteredstar is megatron. no one likes him. he made a pact with the devil (unicron for whom i have yet to come up with a name) in an attempt to use the dead souls in the dark forest as pawns for his faction or something and also to get the nine lives (but evil and fucked up)

-crimsonstrike is knockout. medic of the shatteredclaws and while being on their side isn't particularly loyal to shatteredstar. he and shriekingsky were the equivalent of highschool mean girls as apprentices bc i thought that would be funny

-brokenstone is breakdown. originally part of the brightsparks, but something something happened that made him not really trust them anymore, that plus probably crimsonstrike accidentally helping him out caused him to switch sides

-owlglare is ratchet. goofy ass eyebrows. really REALLY wants to restore the old territories, which causes some slight conflict with the others who also want to protect the city (bc of the mice as well as other rogue cats i dont know yet)

-sparkstar is optimus. god damn i struggled so bad with his design. you know him.

-bumblepaw is bumblebee i couldnt bring myself to change his name. he's a baby sparkstar found in the trash. like in canon he wants to get his warrior name back home so hes keeping the apprentice one for now

-the rats the humans. most of the population dont know about the cats and if they did they'd probably panic a whole lot. these had me looking up rat color morphs

Red, Orange, Red-orange, What is it? - Librarymyboi - Transformers - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Y'all this is based off of @macadam 's post about ratchet being red or orange. I wrote Crack about it. Hope y'all like it.

[maiselyormaiforshort]

In your secret frenemies au what are megatrons and optimus's relationships with their respective leaders like? And how does starscream factor in? Is he trying to become leader or are he and megatron fighting over the sic post cause I find that mental image hilarious 😂

Say no more shawty, warning:big yapping sesh

Optimus N CrimSonJaeger:Optimus respects Crimson Alot,also I forgot to mention that in this au Optimus doesn't become a prime because I said so, neither does Crimson, Crimson also deeply respects Optimus(mostly because he's an archivist and has more wisdom), Crimson sometimes gets anxious around Optimus because Optimus has no clue their leader is a teenager,long story short they are work friends

Megatron and Microzus: They're relationship is like the 2 uncles fresh outta jail, important note:Microzus is still wreckless in this au except she has to act more mature, Megatron respects her due to them both thinking violence is the best option,they have a closer relationship than Optimus and Crimson,they playfight sometimes or joke around,Megatron sees that they both have alot in common,Microzus is just happy that someone has the same perspective of her

StarScream N Microzus:they have a one sided rivalry, StarScream is always trying to overthrow Microzus,She doesn't notice at all and assumes he's goofing around(he punched her but since she's like REALLYYYY big she didn't noticed and jokingly hitted him with her elbow,her elbow has spikes,yeouch) also megatron and starscream still hate eachother in this au because Megatron highly respects his leader and would bash anyone in her way,by anyone I mean StarScream

Important notes:Op and meg still have their divorce D:,Dune(June) and Growler(A. Fowler) are on the autobots,The jasper trio have a cybertronion equivalent of a telephone which they use to contact eachother,one time megs asked who Micro was calling with she said it was a spy,she didn't let Megs ask anymore questions because she said "their identity is too precious"(shawty locked in), humans don't really play a big part in this au,I'm not even sure if i want the events to happen on earth or on a semi broken cybertron

[transingthoseformers]

//scuttles in here Hello, have the dose of Clerk!Megs nonsense on earth with humans

In general I feel like Megs would be spilt on the humans/interacting with them. Like he is interested and kind of eager (again, he ain't like canon megs who would probably squish a human under his pedal/foot lol), but also wary and cautious because humans are very fragile. Also i think if you exposed Clerk!Megs to our/human history, the man would have a stroke so hfjkdsf.

But as for like named character that come to mind, BUCKLE BECAUSE THIS IS GONNA BE LONG!

Jack He kind of sees himself in Jack. A young teen struggling with very little, having to work to make ends meet to help his mom out, he can understand that. Megs would def would put what he is working for a break just to listen Jack ramble or listen to the kid vent while he worked on his own stuff. He allowed Jack to study in his corner of the base/where every the team is staying since it's the quietest spot next to OP. Megs has probably, unknowingly, taught Jack the tunes of a few old mining songs since I can see him humming them absent-mindly while working. Jack is probably the reason Megs probably wishes he chose a car or something similar as an alt mode because he wouldn't mind picking Jack up from school, but he will settle with sometimes carrying Jack around on his shoulder or hand when he is merely exploring Nevada's deserts or walking around the base.

Miko Even if Megs is an ambivert, I don't think anyone can match Miko's extrovert energy X_X. Megs gets overwhelmed so easily by Miko. I also think they would not get along. Like...At all? Megs probably gets annoyed Miko doesn't take her studies seriously. Like on the verge of snapping datapads levels of annoyed. Is this because of his own history? Yes. yes it is. He does not understand wasting the chance to learn and grow, in favor of video games and loud music. I feel like it's also like mutual for awhile on Miko's end too. Megatron looks so cool, what do you mean he's a giant book nerd? She probably mistook him for like a harden gladiator (hah), only for Ratchet to go "...no, he's a clerk". I feel like it would take awhile for them to even like click, maybe something happens like Megs gets hurt trying to keep Miko safe (he's annoyed by her, but he doesn't like want her dead), and Miko tries to like make it up to him by showing him some Japanese poems since she knows he likes poetry.

Raf Silent panic because Raf is so small. But like seriousness, Megs adores Raf and loves the fact the kid likes to learn. He has probably mentioned Raf to the team on Cybertron a few times when on call with Orion, to the point now Shockwave and the other science guys to gain an interest. Megs probably sits on the sidelines, doing work, while Raf talks with Shockwave (mainly) and the others on Cybertron, learning from them and jolting notes down. Sometimes Megs has to intervene and remind them not to overwhelm Raf with stuff. Would def remember and remind Optimus to bring Raf snow if forever reason that had to go to the artic.

As for all three of them together, yeah Megs adores them tbh. He is willing to help them out and sometimes humors them with flights around the desert in his alt mode. Megatron would def be the supervisor on the Cybertron science projects ratchet sort of takes over. Silent screaming when Ratchet enters more main scientist realm and Shockwave encouraging it. Would also help on any English or History projects the kids have, but is smart enough to NOT try and turn the projects into mini weapons and stick to EARTH things.

Agent Fowler (and tbh the US Gov in gen) Their relationship is strictly business. Megatron archives usually any interact they have for historical purposes. I feel like he is very neutral leaning to disliking them, but still completely neutral. If this was like in Earthspark though with this version of Megs, alarm bells would be ringing and he would be screaming at Optimus when it came to Ghost and the government in that.

Silas Kill on sight fhsdjf. Megs is more passive, but Silas awakens all urges to kill in him. Idk how Silas would work in this AU tbh, but maybe he does still end up kidnapping Breakdown and Bumblebee and stealing things from them (BD's eye and Bee's T-Cog), and Megatron is the first one to be willing to kill him. Is this related to trauma from being a low caste miner and how he was treated like a tool/object that can be broken down for parts? Maybe :).

June (Jack's Mom) You know that scene where June asks about where Optimus is and goes "Oh, i even wore heels~". Yeah that, but now include Clerk!Megs. Megatron, of course, respects June and her profession! But ma'am, why are you flirting with him, you are confusing him to no end.

I don't have words beyond "yes please"

[gelu-the-babosa-multiversal]

Live PRIME reaction after Megatron is shrunk by one of Shockwave's experiments. Luckey for team Prime, June offered her services to take care of the now human-size warlord.

Jack is screaming in the background with an axe in his hands...

[robby-bobby-tommy]

I couldn't left Cliffjumper behind. He suffered enough. And him and Arcee were very funny, wish we'd see them more.

Super decepticon practice dump.

And humans. Not fond of how adults came out.

[witchofthesouls]

Is it weird that I think June Darby and Megatron can be great bitch-at-brunch friends or petty nemeses?

[wyrm-with-a-why]

June and Megatron become friends and June invites her to the Single Mom Club where a bunch of moms drink and bitch about their bad ex’s or annoying kids or both.

(I need to write this one of these days)

Jack having a fucking crisis when the lord of decepticons brings his mom home passed out drunk

Literally that’s so funny😭

TF Rare Pairings Fest 2023 Day 5: Dancing / On the Couch | Sofa

Another piece of the Country-Verse, and this is another idea I've had floating for a while. Set soon after Megatron, June and Optimus start their relationship, but only the first two show up here. Title and original inspiration comes from Josh Turner's "Why Don't We Just Dance".

@tfrarepairing

Ship: June Darby/Megatron

Also on: [AO3] [FFN]

---

June dried her hands on the dish towel before returning to the living room, finding Megatron sitting on the couch, idly flipping through the channels on the TV. She came up behind him, making her steps heavier so he’d hear her before slowly looping her arms around his shoulders, resting her chin on top of his head. 

“Anything good on?”

“No, not really,” he said, finally turning it off as a newscaster started a report about some farming thing and tilting his head back to look at her. His brow was furrowed, and his frown was almost endearing. “I’ll admit I am at a loss here.”

June smiled at him. She supposed he would be, considering what she knew of his relationship with Starscream. Without much detail, it was very whirlwind and seemed to consist of a lot of “doing”, as opposed to lazy do-nothing afternoons. Were Optimus here, he and Megatron would probably have already started another debate on poetry or something, but he’d taken the kids to the park, and June wasn’t in the mood for such. 

“Well, we could pick another movie, or pull out a board game.” Megatron’s frown became more a pout, and June laughed. “Yeah, I wasn’t feeling it either.” She scanned the room, and inspiration struck as her eyes fell on the stereo. 

“I’ve an idea.” She headed over and flipped the stereo on as she looked through the collection of CDs next to it. Finding the one she wanted, she pulled it out and put it in the tray. A moment later, and the strings of a swing album started playing. 

She turned around and grabbed Megatron’s hands. “Come on, help me move the couch.”

He looked dubious, but let her pull him to his feet, then moved the couch back against the wall, then the coffee table closer to the tv stand. Only once he was in the middle of the open space with her setting his hand at her waist did he seem to catch on. “Really, June?”

“It’s fun,” June said, smiling as she rested her hand on his shoulder, and caught their free hands together. “Now, a swing dance is one of the easiest to learn. Put your left foot like this…”

It took a couple minutes for him to get the steps down, but once he did, Megatron proved himself a natural. It wasn’t long before she upgraded him to the turns, spins, dips, and lifts, and with each accomplished move, his frown turned to a smile, to a grin, to laughing. It was one of the best sounds June had ever heard. 

Eventually, they wore themselves out, and switched to just quietly swaying together, June’s arms around his neck and his around her waist, his head tucked on hers. The swing CD ended, the stereo automatically switching to the next disk, which was a love song collection. 

“I never thought dancing could be this fun,” Megatron said, and June looked up at him. 

“I’m surprised Starscream never took you dancing.”

Megatron scoffed. “If you can call gyrating like a seizing cat dancing. He likes clubs and places with bright lights and bass you can feel in your chest. This…” his arms tightened around her, just the slightest, and a smile started crossing his lips. “This is nicer.”

June smiled back. “It is. I’ve always preferred this kind of dancing.”

They lapsed into silence, but it didn’t feel at all awkward or weird. It was soft, and intimate, like the world outside had fallen away, except for the music playing. They swayed, looking into each other’s eyes, and later she wasn’t sure which of them moved first. But she rose up and he leaned down, and their lips met in the middle. Soft, cautious, but quickly molding and yielding to each other. The song on the stereo swelled, and June felt like her heart was carried along with it. 

Eventually, they pulled back and rested their foreheads together. Megatron chuckled. “You still taste like peppermint.”

June laughed. “And I still hold that that’s the best kind of mint.”

“For Christmas trees, maybe.” 

She might have continued to debate the merits of peppermint, but his lips on hers convinced her he didn’t mind it that much.
