#misfire x fulcrum

Little doodles Starbee and Missfire/Fulcrum with @yaicheliz :3

Thank you for agreeing to draw with me! :D

[skylarkking]

Gay bots cuddling is my serotonin

I ship Fulcrum and Misfire SO HARD!

ALSO! I headcannon that Fulcrum has nightmares and can't recharge much while Misfire has no concept of personal space. This works well because Misfire is a cuddly bastard and Fulcrum NEEDS the comfort.

Both of them thrive under a weighted blanket.

[error404-lostinspace]

Hey guys! Posted the first chapter of my fanfic about the Scavengers. It's a Romance and found family, hope you enjoy it.

[revelboo]

AAA I absolutely adore how you write the scavengers, gave me a newfound appreciation for Spinister 🥹

He’s an adorable dummy. I wish IDW had gotten into what exactly happened to him, because he has his moments where you can tell he was brilliant at one point

A Lifeless Ordinary Pt 11

Scavengers x Reader

• “No Spin,” you say, twisting so your back is to the screen as you sit in the crook of his arm where he’s sprawled on the floor. “That’s not-well, I mean some people might, but most people don’t drag the delivery guy and the hot neighbor in the house for a threesome.” Trying to figure out how to explain while also trying your hardest to ignore the over the top moans and wet sounds of the video. Hating that you keep looking despite your insistence that it’s filth. And really hating that you’re not helping fight Swindle’s claim that humans are just obsessed with sex by looking. “Porn’s not exactly the best example of human relationships.” And there’s no way to frame this in your head to make it better. You like your guys, especially since being able to understand them. This, though? Their apparent fascination with sex? You don’t get. Maybe it’s like a train wreck to them. Absolutely horrific even as it’s fascinating.

• Head tipping as he divides his attention between the video and you, Spinister rubs the side of his masked face against your shoulder. “But there’s a name for it,” he says. Watching your little face redden, he vents against you. Unbothered when you push against him with a soft hand, aware of the faint change to your scent that he needs to investigate. Knows you’re unhappy with him, if the details are a bit hazy. Things getting confused in his processor sometimes. But it’s a little easier to focus when you’re around, gravitating toward you, the softness of you in his servos, the sound of your voice. “Interfacing is painful for humans?” He asks, optics narrowing when one of the humans screams.

• “No, it’s-,” you begin, eyes closing because this conversation is painful. “Sex feels good. I guess we’re just vocal?” You mumble, mortified as Spinister tips his head to see you when you weakly shrug and then slides you out of your warm spot to bump his masked jaw against you, rubbing over your legs and belly with his face like an overly affectionate cat while you try to fend him off when he just rumbles at you. And that porn actress is screaming ‘yes!’ over and over. “Pitiful little spikes on them,” Crankcase adds and you look up at him from upside down. Catching your eye, he gestures at the screen. Risking a peek and shivering as some new guy, the pool boy maybe, bends the actress over the edge of the bed and fucks her. Spikes? He can’t be talking about what you think he is. When you frown at him, he traces a shape in the air at his crotch level and, yeah. That’s exactly what he’s talking about. Don’t ask. Don’t. Why would they even need those? Mouth opening and shutting as Crankcase just stares you down like he’s daring you to ask the question. Because your awful little brain is wondering about giant, alien robots fucking.

• “You started without us?” Misfire mutters, watching as Fulcrum stares at the screen, spots you looking at him, and immediately averts his optics in embarrassment as Spinister rumbles at you coaxingly. Striding into the common area, the Seeker sprawls out beside Crankcase, ignoring the other mech’s annoyed rumble to focus on the screen and the humans. Stretching out a ped to tap at Spinister until he turns to frown at him and you look over. “Doing anything for you?” He asks, grinning crookedly as you stiffen and Spin just stares at him blankly. Because teasing you? Too easy, enjoying watching your face redden. “You know, Spin would play medic with you.” Laughing when Spinister looks confusedly from you to him. Hearing him mutter that he is a medic as you put your face in your hands. Venting, he almost laughs. Because, yeah, you’re mortified right now, but you’re also interested, your scent shifting. Something he’s sure they’ve all clued in on in the small space.

• “We have a job. Remember? The job?” Optics narrowing as he’s ignored, Krok vents tiredly and unhooks the datapad to a chorus of complaints and one very small thank you. Glancing at where you’re sprawled on your back almost hidden by Spinister and watching him, he fidgets. That’s going to be a problem sooner or later. Spinister already too clingy and barely understanding boundaries. You’re one of them. An honorary Scavenger, but also so helpless. Knowing you’ll have to stay on the ship alone makes him oddly uneasy. Because if something happens to them? You’ll probably starve to death trapped in the ship or be discovered. Either way? He can’t imagine you’ll survive long without them to take care of you. “Let’s go. You can make the human uncomfortable later.” And your eyes narrow at him as Spinister slowly stands with you and he ignores the way the big medic nuzzles against you. Just like he ignores how protective he feels of you. How much he worries.

Asking the scavengers to hold your drink

Misfire

Not a good idea. He goes like, "yeah, sure!" but the moment you are gone he'll drink it. He does it on purpose with no regrets. What did you expect? He's a glutton and he steals food all the time, even from friends! And he won't buy you a new one either. "Sorry y/n i don't have any money on me right now"

Misfire: 0/10 trustworthy drink holder.

Spinister

He will also say 'yes'. But you shouldn't take too long, it gotta be quick! It could go two ways; either he gets distracted and forgets about your drink and you won't find it. Or the longer he looks at the drink the more suspicious it looks. "It looking at me funny, I think I will shoot it"

"NO!"

Spinister: 2/10

Grimlock

He will just stand there, holding your glass. Not knowing exactly what to do. Looking around and then on the drink without moving and looking confused. If it was Grimlock with better mentally health, then he would be the same but more protective and more confident and looking like a bodyguard.

"Nobody touch y/n drink on my watch!”

Grimlock: 8/10

Nickel

Honesty, she doesn't really want to, but she holds the glass anyway if it isn't too big. Don't expect her to hold your drink multiple times though or you will get the: “Why are you asking me all the time? Can't you just hold your own drink or ask someone else?” 😑 We know she was reliable with the D.J.D and it’s the same with you and your drink as well. The way you left your drink with her is the same way you get it back.

Nickel: 9/10

Fulcrum

"Oh okay". It's not a bad idea to ask Fulcrum. He will hold the drink with no problems…until he starts to second ask himself and overthink the situation. What if ‘someone’ he doesn't know approaches him with bad intentions and wants your drink? If that happens he will give the drink and run away. Hopefully he hasn't been shaking while thinking about it or the liquid in your glass will be less than when you left it.

Fulcrum: 5/10

Krok

Is the most ‘normal’ about it. He just holds it for you and still does what he is doing. Doesn't do anything weird with it, no drinking, just holding it. He doesn't bother asking what took you so long, unless you completely forgot about it.

However, he expects you to say ‘thank you’, or he won't do it the next time. (Krok deserves at least some appreciation).

Krok: 10/10

Crankcase

It depends. You most likely get a no, but if you ask again nicely, he'll might say yes. If he still says no, then it's better to ask someone else or he will be irritated and complaining. But if he says yes, he'll most likely just be sitting down and drinking his own drink in the other hand and looking grumpy around until you come back. If you take too long he is going to complain. "What took you so long?”

Crankcase: 6/10

Bonus: I can see Crankcase as the typical grandpa sitting in the corner of a party drinking beer and judging/watching people making fools of themselves on the dance floor and then use it against them later.

Thank you for reading! Have a good day! ^^ Reblogs are very appreciated 🥰

How about Fulcrum in denial that he is fallen in love with a human? I think it would be funny and ironic

*Cutely inserts Misfire*

.

.

.

(You) Human, tending their wounds whilst yelling at them angrily: "Stop being so damn reckless all the time, you two!"

*Misfire and Fulcrum, giving the human (you) a deadpanned yet nervous expression as you tend their wounds*

Misfire, was about to say something but was cut off when you "carefully" repair his helm with a wrench: "ACK-! Easy with that wrench, shortstack!"

Fulcrum, looking nervous but decided to lighten things up by a little teasing: "I think you care about us. Don't you little one?"

(You) Human, feeling their cheeks flare up a red hue across their face and lets out a scoff: "Yeah, right. I thought about the opposite. I believe YOU guys care about me."

Both Misfire and Fulcrum, letting out a scoff. Then Fulcrum spoke again: "Oh sureeee. It's not like we lay down awake at Lunar cycle, thinking about you."

*Lunar Cycle hits and both of them are still awake in their berths, their sparks beating rapidly when thinking about the human.*

Misfire and Fulcrum: "Oh no."

.

.

.

Love them sillies.

[rungssparemodelpieces]

Human, meeting the Scavengers for the first time: “I think I can take them.”

Megatron: “In a fight, right?”

Human, smirking back

Megatron, now more concerned: “In a fi-ight, right-t?!”

[toomanybrainrots]

hey dude I love ur writing💙 so I hope it’s ok to ask if I could get a lil IDW scavengers (With a GN!Cybertroian s/o) headcanons

Thank you! Here are the IDW Scavengers with a Cybertronian S/O headcannons, as you requested dear anon.

IDW Scavengers with Cybertronian S/O

They Scavengers aren’t the most affectionate bunch

That’s what they say but Misfire happens to find his servo in yours

Or when Flywheels clings to you in the middle of the night

Or when Krok finds his servo on your waist

Or when Spinister is following you around like a lost duck

Or when Fulcrum—

You get the point. They tend to give affection(or atleast want affection) without even realizing it

You’re very happy to give them their well deserved affection

You let out a sigh as you try to wiggle free from the cuddle pile that had happened during the night, only to fail.

Somehow, someway, the scavengers had piled up on you in a cuddle pile. Why? Probably cause it was either cold or they wanted cuddles. How? You had no idea.

You succumbed to your fate, sinking further into the berth as you decideed to take a moment and enjoy this.

One of them, or all of them, somehow always manage to be wrapped up in your arms, or you wrapped around theirs.

None of them are complaining

They’re also pretty protective of you, sending glares to whoever so much as looks at you the wrong way

You’re probably the only one who can calm any of them down, or just hold them back

Overall, they’re surprisingly affectionate and not so surprisingly protective of you. You wouldn’t have it any other way

[in1-nutshell]

Human Buddy gets a mild illness and Spinister takes care of them

SFW, platonic, Human reader

MTMTE

Buddy didn’t bring their coat on an outing on some foreign planet. To be fair, they didn’t expect it to be cold. Misfire said it wasn’t going to be cold.

Well… there was mistake one.

Thinking that Cybertronian cold and human cold were the same thing. And taking that response from Misfire.

“You sure it’s not going to be cold?”--Buddy

“I’m sure Buddy! Just a light breeze at most!”—Misfire

So now they are heading to Spinister’s makeshift medbay. Buddy yelled out that they are coming in, so he won’t shoot. They didn’t want to be burnt while not being able to smell anything.

“Spinister I’m coming into the medbay! I am now actively walking into the medbay! I have one foot inside the medbay!”—Buddy

 Spinister acknowledges Buddy with his back turned to them. He only looks at them when he hears them sneeze. His fingers are itching for the gun but realizes that it was Buddy.

Brings Buddy up to eye level and notices that they don’t look too good, at least from an organic. Luckily, he had been reading up on some organic medical logs lately. He remembers something about checking for human temperature. He gets a digit and places it on Buddy’s forehead. Buddy just leaned into his cold digit. Spinister knows that humans aren’t meant to be this hot.

“You’re a bit hotter than usual.”--Spinister

“Aww thanks Spins.”--Buddy

“Apparently also delusional.”--Spinister

He quickly does a search on the space google on what to do. Has a mini scare and then it’s immediate bed rest for Buddy. Sets up the human corner of the medbay for use. He grabs some small blankets and wraps Buddy up in scary precision and lays them back in the nest of pillows and blankets. Buddy is slowly roasting in the burrito blanket pile.

Spinister isn’t having that.

“Can I at least get one cover off?”--Buddy

“And have you coughing up a lung? As the humans say, ‘Fat chance’.”--Spinister

Tries his best to get Buddy some warm fluids from the soup cans in the storage unit. After 5 attempts and some help from Krok he finally gets the soup to Buddy.

“Here eat this. We don’t need your nutritional levels going down too.”—Spinister

Makes a little announcement to the crew to keep things civil for Buddy if not they are going to die. Krok has to reword his message because Grimlock and Misfire are trying to storm into the medbay.

“Buddy will die if you all disturb them while they are resting.”—Spinister

“WHAT!!!”—All the Scavengers

“Buddy! No! My human pal!”--Misfire

“They’re sick! They’re sick! That’s what Spinister means! They aren’t going to die—”--Krok

“They could though.”--Spinister

“Spinister! Not helping!”—Krok

The Scavengers do make visits through Buddy’s sick time.

Krok lets Buddy in on the news on the ship and is constantly asking if he can do something to help Buddy out physically. He is also there if they want to rant about something. He may tell some stories about his time with his former squad.

“So, what happened after that?”--Buddy

“Well, me and my old crew were up against the Wreckers…”--Krok

Crankcase visits every now and then, mainly because he is piloting the ship. Tries to hype them up to get better faster, he needs someone to distract Misfire from bothering him.

“Seriously, can’t you get better any faster? I swear Misfire is getting more annoying by the second.”--Crankcase

Fulcrum visits the least and always stands by the door.

He is still a bit squeamish about organics and it’s only increased to a 10-fold with the illness.

“How are you from over there Fulcrum?”--Buddy

“Trying not to puke honestly.”--Fulcrum

“Same here Fulcrum.”--Buddy

Grimlock and Misfire visit together and try to get Buddy to laugh as much as they can.

“C’mon Buddy not even a giggle? How else are you going to get better?”--Misfire

“What do you mean?”--Buddy

“Isn’t laughter the best medicine for you humans? Right Grimmy?”--Misfire

“Me Grimlock.”--Grimlock

“See! He gets it.”--Misfire

“In a way, I guess it works.”--Buddy

Grimlock lays down near Buddy and occasionally poke their side or move some hair out of their face. Misfire along with trying to make Buddy laugh just chats with them. He does feel bad that Buddy was confined to the bed. On one visit, Misfire tried to smuggle Buddy out of the medbay to get a change in scenery. He didn’t get 10 steps out before Spinister is on his tailpipe trying to get Buddy back in the next.

“Shhh! Keep it down!”--Misfire

“I’m sorry but you are the one being smuggled right now?”--Buddy

“Yeah, well the planets are cool to look at and I thought I’d give you the privilege of seeing them.”--Misfire

“Yeah okay… but what about Spinister?”--Buddy

“What about him?”--Misfire

“What about me?”--Spinister

“Oh Scrap! Run!”--Misfire

Spinister is on top of all of Buddy’s needs the entire time. Will go on meaningless rants from time to time when things get too boring.

“Do you have squirrels living in your head?”--Spinister

“Do I have what?”--Buddy

One time he made a mini shooting range to entertain Buddy using the guns for shoot-shoot-bang-bang. This was quickly dismantled when Krok came in for a visit, apparently a safety hazard or something.

Buddy makes a full recovery and Spinister makes remarks about not getting sick again. Spinister now always carries a spare jacket in his subspace in case Buddy forgets theirs.

“Buddy take your jacket.”--Spinister

“Spinister I don’t need it.”Buddy

“I DoN’t NeEd iT. Yeah no, you’re taking the jacket.”--Spinister

A Lifeless Ordinary Pt 21

Scavengers x Reader

• Helm pressing against the back of your shoulder, Spinister groans and you swallow a laugh. “It’s not that bad. Come on,” you say, awkwardly reaching back to touch his helm. “We can’t just hide in here all day.” Venting against you, he finally gets up, sliding his legs off the edge of the Medbay berth and just pushing off as your heart leaps into your throat. Can’t breathe even as he mass shifts and safely lands on his peds, flaring his rotors slightly while your heart races. And he’s turning toward you, completely oblivious to the fact that he just scared you. Reaching out his cupped hands, he rumbles at you when you scoot into his palm. “Clothes, Spin,” you say when he starts for the door and he does a little shuffle in a circle with you cupped in his hands before you point at where he’d tossed them.

• Bending to pick up your tiny coverings and handing them over, he opens the Medbay door and you squeak, swearing and clutching your coverings to yourself. Oh. Aware that the other Scavengers are right there staring at him and you, he turns so his back is to them while you hurriedly dress in his palms. And you swear again when Misfire drapes an arm against his shoulder on one side, leaning to look at you and Crackcase comes up on his other side as you tug your bottom covering up your thighs, face reddening. “What?” He asks as you turn your scowl his way. “What?”

• “Spin treat you right, Tiny?” Crankcase asks, grinning down at you fighting to get your top covering on. Hadn’t realized you could change color like that as you squint sullenly up at him. Trying not to think about what Misfire had done, because even if he’s a much more eligible partner than Spinister, he’s aware of the way you glance uncomfortably at his damaged helm from time to time. That it bothers you and he doesn’t want to be a pity frag. Suspects that’s what Spinister is. Why else pick him?

• “You’re not shy all of a sudden are you?” Misfire purrs, reaching to run a servo down your spine. Messing with you and seeing how territorial Spin is after claiming you. Rotors swinging slightly, Spinister just watches him. Making him think his little speech worked. That Spin won’t interfere if he or any of the rest of them flirt and try to lure you to their berths. And he wants to have you to himself. Curious about you.

• “Leave them alone.” Already tired of Misfire acting out and doing precisely whatever he wants without caring about the consequences. Because Krok’s sure that’s what the Seeker’s interest in you is- another impulsive decision. Doubts Misfire actually cares about you romantically, only the challenge you present and he hates it. It’s all harmless fun until you realize Misfire is just messing around and he hurts you. And that’s not happening on his watch even if he has to guard you from the rest of the crew and be the bad guy.

• Embarrassed on your behalf, Fulcrum watches you smack at Misfire’s servos when he ignores Krok and keeps petting down your spine. And you’re so small, fragile and unsettlingly alien. Wouldn’t have believed your two species were compatible if he hadn’t seen more than he’d wanted of Spin rutting against you. Unable to forget the wet sound of it, those unsettling noises you’d made. Can’t stop remembering the way you’d looked, head tossed back and lips parted, eyes locked with his optics as you took Spinister’s spike. It’s unsettling. Scandalous. And he keeps picturing it against his will.

Happiest birthday to you, Styx! 🥳

My gift to you is a headcanon request:

Krok + any two Scavengers of your choice celebrating a Cybertronian reader’s birthday :)

Thank you! :) While I did go ahead and do the request, I ended up doing differently than how I normally do it because I just thought it would fit better.

The word isn’t coming to me right now, but I dunno if it’s really a drabble or something else. Either way, I didn’t do the typical way I write the requests this time.

~Cybertronian Reader Celebrating Their Birthday With The Scavengers~

Cybertronians celebrating the day they were made (cold), wasn’t entirely common—nor was it uncommon. A part of you had always wanted to do it before—but you usually got caught up in other things.

Like the war.

You just wanted it to be simple, nothing too big. So, after tracking down the others (it wasn’t hard, they were all watching tv together), you suggested the idea of it.

You were all going to stop on a planet in a couple of minutes for trading or whatever—and you were certain that there had to be at least a bar there or something that you all could go to.

Although you were asking them all, you glanced towards Krok while suggesting it, waiting to see what the monoformer would say about it.

“Sure,” He nodded, before taking a sip of his drink—which thankfully, Misfire hadn’t managed to steal this time.

~~~

After landing, and first dealing with a few other things, it hadn’t taken that long for you all to find a decent bar.

You’d remained inside with them for a while, but eventually, so many others began piling in—it was starting to get a little cramped—so you decided to step outside for a second.

After about six minutes, and a few—about seven—leaving, you decided to re-enter the bar, and rejoin your friends.

The moment you stepped back inside, you were nearly hit with two mechs that had been sent backwards—if not for someone pulling you away, they would’ve landed on top of you.

Looking away from the two random Cybertronians, you looked to your side, and realized that it had been Fulcrum that had pulled you out of the way.

“We gotta go,” He told you, and you nodded. You followed after him and Misfire, noticing the others waiting up ahead after you three went out another exit.

“What happened??” You heard yourself ask, all while you and the rest of the group were running back towards the WAP.

“Well-“ You heard Misfire say from above you—and while you did still listen to him (he mentioned Spinister’s name in his ramble), you became more focused on a familiar clicking noise.

Turning to your left, you noticed the Monoformer, clicking away with that object tightly in his fist. “Sorry about this-“

You just smiled, glancing back behind you, before back towards him and the others. “It’s okay, Krok- really,” You assured him, laughing—although it was a mix of an anxious yet happy one.

With how events usually turned out for you all, you hadn’t been all that surprised that this would happen. It made for an interesting birthday celebration.

Although, you were far more glad that you were simply celebrating it with your fellow Scavengers—they were fun to hang out with in their own ways.

[rungneedstherapy]

Life: *gives me a challenge I have to concentrate on*

Me: *opens notes app* yeah, I think it's the perfect time to write some fanfics

[signedaiko]

Can we get the Scavengers with a gn human reader from your AU? The one where you're a liaison for Earth?

Thanks!

Scavengers x Reader [MTMTE]

In which you've been adopted into the Scavenger crew and have to find ways to survive with their minimal supplies.

The first few weeks with them were the easiest in terms of supplies because you'd yet to run out of rations

Years of training to take off into space prepared you; you had seeds, artificial lights, heat lamps, and a water filter that could serve up to twenty people at once

Until Misfire stepped on it

They do their best to fix it, and you had all the training to make it from scratch

Except it was completely condensed and you'd have to find all the materials to build it again, an unforseen consequence

Thankfully, you can make stops at popular organic planets, which all carry water to stock up, but it's still a setback

The first to accept you is Crankcase, who has gone through similar training to you and whom you can bond with regarding flight training

Hes content to have you in the cockpit with him and shows you around steering a ship

Having you certainly beats autopilot when he has to step away

Misfire and Krok are next; they don't really care enough to push you away, especially since you scored them a huge deal that let them repair the WAP

Misfire is in charge of keeping you stocked on water and helping you locate materials to make a new filter

Hes also in charge of paying for it

Krok is more non chalant

He doesn't owe you anything, you owe him nothing

But he might get fussy if you contest his leadership

YES he CAN tell you're disagreeing just to upset him and it pisses him off

Spinister is iffy about you, humans are weird and small and he doesn't get your intentions at all

Why would a human want to be in space with them? It must have been for nefarious reasons

Even so, he forgets his issues pretty fast when you join in for their games, and shows a lot more self-restraint, seeing as he could easily overpower you if you tried to hurt him

Which, obviously you were planning on doing and he had to prepare for, duh

Fulcrum takes the longest for...obvious reasons

Humans could never do it for him, never ever ever ever

He never gets comfortable touching you or going near any of your stuff, but he does fund you quite funny and slowly eases into being around you

You might notice his optics go offline whenever he 'looks' at you

Offensive, but, you get it

If it keeps him from gagging, then whatever

Author's Note - I love the scavengers, you'll have to deal with me over writing for them.

[emperor-kumquat]

Hello Emperor Kumkuat!

I don't want to bother you, I just want to ask a few questions:

When will you continue the Monstrous Heart story in the foreseeable future and what will be the next one?

On what basis do you deside to change the gender of the characters and send them into your stories? For example, the female Tarn, Swindle x Lockdown or Slipstream x Thunderblast (to my knowledge they have not met in any story so far) not because I am against it, I just want to understand.

Could you make a video or post about the characters outside the series so I know who is alive and who is dead? I looked on the wiki, but it is difficult to find your way around.

Apart from Transformers, are there any other movies, series, video games, comics or books that you like, for example: Star Wars.

Can I send you drawings of existing characters that I would like to see in Mercy, even if only in a cameo? I look forward to your answer.

Hi, thank you for your questions! 1. I'm sorry for the delays with the fourth story of Mercy, Monstrous Heart! My goal was to post Part 4 this month and yesterday I was writing out my road map for the rest of the story. The delay was due to how much focus I have been putting on refining my old work and preparing the new Mercy videos. Whoever is in the Mercy Discord server has seen art scenes coming out bam bam bam almost every day! And Space Adventure chapters are edited daily (my oldest story needs a quality boost) 2. I started changing genders of traditionally male characters when I realized hey, I can do what I want (this was after Space Adventure) as I reimagine characters. But I also do it with intention, to get a certain vibe. With Tarn, it was because I wanted the chilling voice of a female opera singer. Vos is a sneaky girl and Helex is a lava-spewing goth with attitude. I really wanted to make every DJD character in Mercy be distinct. By the time I got to Discovery, I thought we could use a story with a lot of deadly women too XD Otherwise, I just find previous female characters instead of making them.

And sometimes ships are planned while others bloom while I write, such as Fulcrum x Misfire or Sixshot x Black Shadow. It is nice to show that Decepticons can be attached to members of their own faction, fighting fiercely to protect them or going to them for comfort. The Swindle x Lockdown isn't really a thing unless you want to imagine it. Slipstream x Thunderblast interested me to do because Thunderblast was just.... so straight in Transformers: Cybertron. And I've explained in videos why Transformers are not logically straight. I don't like how many female characters in the past existed to flirt with the male characters or be their love interests. I was like ok, Thunderblast has had enough men. But at this point, I don't think there is too much room for Thunderblast in a storyline. I still want to have her around because it will be funny when bots like Slipstream think she is a Seeker, she looks like one, but she is a boat. And she seems like a fun character to write! Yet if her role is as small as Lockdown's then the ship might just again be if you want to dream it. Helex x Swift is a Mercy canon wlw ship for those looking for a big one. I'm sorry if Slipstream x Thunderblast doesn't come to fruition, it was just an idea from four years ago before any storylines had been planned. To be determined

There is no kissing in Mercy or characters saying "I love you" but their strong loyalty acts as motivation. So that's why some final bosses have romances. Overlord is madly in love with Megatron (for good reasons explained in backstory scenes) and he does wicked excessive things trying to impress him. Overlord is in fact scarier for this. You might just get decapitated for not being loyal to Megatron. The ship is vital to the plot and in giving the reader tremendous anxiety trying to lie to Overlord and sneak behind his back.

I always wanted to ship Froid x Sunder from IDW but they just weren't nice enough to each other. In Mercy, I wanted to maximize Sunder's horror aspect which makes it so shocking in comparison that Froid is unafraid of him. Froid is able to touch Sunder's teeth whereas those teeth are crunching other bots' brains and faces. Why is Froid safe? And before that moment, you wondered why does Froid have this creature in his basement? Why does he cover for Sunder? Does Froid control Sunder?

The two dark energon-blooded creatures of Mercy (Sunder and Imperious) tackle the question of if bots with Primus' sparks can be evil, can bots with Unicron's sparks be good? What does it take for them to overcome their violent instincts to be loving instead? 3. Yeah, some day I could list out bots who supposedly died in the Aligned books and comics. I was going to reread the books so it's good that you caught me at this time! I know some surprising bots were killed off supposedly like Skywarp, Thundercracker, Brawn, Blaster...

4. I love Transformers, but I am also a big fan of stories with supernatural creatures or stories from the viewpoint of animals. Unfortunately, I have a hard time finding supernatural stories because they are usually aimed at teens and therefore are also angsty hormonal romances. I just saw "Jentry Chau vs the Underworld" and was really enjoying it mainly because of a demon character who really wanted to pass as human and have friends. I was watching with my partner and screaming, "It's the trope I love!" I love a story with a scary monstrous race trying to be accepted, especially if they have predatory instincts. That has also made me like Beaststars. And why I wrote Mercy Sunder the way he is haha. But then I also enjoy animal stories like Redwall, Warrior Cats, and Wings of Fire. Different species or factions interacting. Yeah sometimes those younger reader books are more enjoyable to me because the main focus is not a love triangle or something. And I get tired of humans :P

(I heard how good Arcane was but never made it past episode one because I was horrified by the ending)

I like Minecraft but don't play often, though it inspired a lot of places in Mercy's third story. Sometimes I listen to Rubedo or Blind Spots while doing Mercy

Oh—I love Attack on Titan and listen to its music while writing or drawing Mercy. You will see the inspiration in Monstrous Heart for a scene with Devastator. I also used to watch Tokyo Ghoul and other anime with supernatural creatures.

5. I think a loooot of characters have already been planned to appear in backgrounds or to participate in scenes, so maybe it would be best to wait and see what happens. For example, the Victory and Masterforce characters are found on Overlord's planet!
