What do you think nickels life on Prion was like?

Honestly?

I feel like her life on Prion was pretty good, if a tad mundane compared to what was to come

Tfwiki doesn't have much on what Prion was like beyond it having been a peaceful colony, or much on Nickel's life before the Black Box Consortia arrived, so there's a lot of directions we can go

But

I like to imagine Nickel was "just" your typical Minicon medic on Prion, perhaps she's been practicing medicine for a little while and hasn't kept in touch with her friends as closely as she (in her opinion) should have. Maybe she was working in a relatively isolated part of the planet and that aided her survival in the tragedy. (It's been a little while since I've read mtmte I forget if we were shown exactly when the DJD found her or no) but I feel like she did have friends. She did have colleagues she used to be close with and she did have people who cared about her.

Did, being in the past tense.

She lost everything she had when the Black Box Consortia arrived. That's part of why she latched onto the DJD so quickly. Did not help that the DJD, as it seemed, needed her help.

#nickel really was in a very vulnerable place when she joined the decepticon cause wasn't she?#and like #she never really denounced it either despite disengaging from the djd #transformers #maccadam #mtmte nickel #imagine if she had a lover who she lost in the tragedy too #there's a lot of speculation to be had on Nickel's life on Prion #and there's words to be said about how the tragedy really shaped the Nickel we see in MTMTE and LL #that's the thing about MTMTE and LL #say what you want about the two comics but a lot of the interesting characters in them have reasons why they are the way they are
