I Feel TFOne Could've Handled This Better...

Hot take but I feel like folks have been really generous with the take that OP was unable to find ~the perfect words~ in the heat of the moment (and thus should be given some grace) when he told D to stand down and "not be like Sentinel"... namely cuz I don't feel that the narrative supports this?

Like-- after all is said and done, OP doesn't reflect on that part of their split. He doesn't have a moment where he seeks validation or voices his regrets over the choice of his words, it's actually cut-and-dry. The narrative (as it stands) supports that OP saw D-16 acting up, so he called him out and stood on business, down to the last scenes where he's basically like "yeah it's a shame but y'all knew I had to do it to 'em."

It didn't have to be much! I'm not saying to absolve Megs, just show OP looking at things from a different perspective/contemplating a bit on that tough choice and the morality of the moment. Some examples of what I wish we had:

B-127 straight up blurting the obvious by later chatting with Orion like, "Wait so you told your best friend that he was acting just as bad as the guy who enslaved us for our entire lives and was torturing him like an hour ago? Oof. Seems kinda harsh." Then have some of OP's regret show on his face.

OP asking Elita-1 after Megs is banished if he did the right thing. Have Elita back his choice up, saying, "You should have seen what he did after you were... gone. It was terrifying. I know it was tough, but you made the right call." OP is grateful for the support, but a conflicted look still flashes across his face before he steels himself to look out towards the horizon... and the future.

Have OP walk past other mechs/former miners who didn't go with the High Guard saying stuff like, "Wish I could've given Sentinel a piece of my mind!" "Yeah, but I'm glad he's gone for good." "Ugh I miss everything." "Oh, it was crazy! Megatron picked him up and then he rrrrriiipped-- oops, hey there, Mr. Optimus... Prime... sir?" And have OP wave hello, looking a bit sick when they leave.

Post-credits scene with Starscream going on and on, asking Megs when they'll be back to teach the upstart Prime a lesson. Megs grabs his face to shut him up. "Patience, Starscream. The Prime thinks I'm no better than Sentinel... but I'll show him. He wants Iacon? He can have it. In the meantime we'll take the rest of the planet! Then I'll come back, crush Prime under my heel, and we'll take Iacon too. Sentinel's reign will barely be a footnote, because I'm about to become Optimus Prime's worst nightmare." The vocal performance would really need to sell this-- like picture Megs saying something like that from a place of anger and hurt, not so much a place of genuine evil or malice.

Basically instead of Orion's assertion being backed up as black and white/good vs bad, I wish we had some different opinions/reactions from the characters sprinkled in there. Like you can't tell me out of allllll the miners who weren't strong enough/willing to go with the High Guard and ended up sticking around that NONE of them were like "eyyo honestly?? Kiiiiinda glad Sentinel is dead. Wish I could have helped, tbh." like come onnnnn...

And you can't even argue that he's not an active threat-- I don't think everyone would see things that way! It's not just about the threat he physically has, but the threat he represents and is very likely to act upon if given the opportunity! He has a proven track record of not only being sneaky and conniving, but also capable of dealing some serious damage/killing people bigger and stronger than him, plus he has the backing of the Quints. All he'd need to do is wriggle his way out of jail and run off to his sponsors, then he'd probably be back to hurt more people! (If the Quints didn't just kill him out of incompetence lmao). There's a lot of "ifs" here, but I think it's a valid argument that not everyone would agree on what is the right or wrong way to handle Sentinel once he was down long enough to, like, do something about him.

I feel the situation needed a bit of nuance. In some way I wish they had kicked the can and had D and Orion bicker while Sentinel escaped, then have D get frustrated enough by the loss of Sentinel to point fingers (and his fusion canon) at Orion, who then falls and becomes OP. (Megs could still show some of thar emotion/remorse right after he does it too.) Not only would this open the door for a sequel, but tbh the Quint might have just killed Sentinel anyways and sought to deal with the miners uprising themselves lol. (Maybe that could have been an after credits scenes too instead of the B-127 bit??)

Would love to see a moment in a sequel where they have a calmer moment after arguing for a bit. Have OP mention how Megs was out of line, that it hurt and even scared him to see him act that way, and Megs can quietly point out "you said I was as bad as Sentinel... is that really how you see me? After everything we went through?"

Then OP can fumble the bag again lmao like "D, I... I'm sorry, that didn't come out right... but you still took things way too far..."

"Why am I not surprised-- your opinion is what matters the most! Maybe that's why you became a Prime, since you're so good at acting like the world revolves around you--!"

*gets interrupted by someone else before another yelling match ensues*

Hello Tiny, I'm a little nervious to ask but here I go. Feel free to respond when ever you want.

It's regarding the effects of perfume/cologne in cybertronias.

I was thinking about Tarn being unable to transform for a time due to not having a Tcog replacement in hand. While he is trying to get one, his frustration and anger increases and his little human gets the idea of drenching themselves with the small amount of perfume they were able to obtain during their time with the DJD. The human tries to calm Tran by rubbing their hands between his cheeks, just wanting for him not to lose his mind and focus on his search. If it works, this could turn into a new addiction for Tarn.

PSA: I also want to thank you for all your writings. They make my day and bring a smile to my face.

Ohhhh, but like, could you imagine he turns from this very agitated bot who is extremely quiet because he goes dead quiet to the point that it's like there is dead space around him. And the next thing he is getting hit with this very sweet scent that smells like one of his favourite energon treats from before the war. And he can smell it from the other side of the ship. He literally stalks his say over there before realising it's coming from his quarters. He opens the door and stalks his way inside, looking around for the sickly sweet scent to find his human. A small rumble leaves his vocalizer which in turn makes you turn around to meet his glowing optics.

"Strip, slowly"

He calls out, and you discard your clothes slowly as he stalks his way closer. His masked face presses into your back as he lets out another deep rumble, one servo coming around to grip your hips and pull you back against his frame. The moment his optics land on the small glass bottle.

"Pour it on yourself"

He calls out again, watching and waiting, and the moment the bottle is empty he is on you like a hungry wolf. Mask pulled up enough so his lips can lap at the sweet taste of the perfume on your skin, denta leaving bite marks across your skin he scoops you up into his arms.

It's safe to say that you're not leaving his berth until he has made sure to have licked your skin clear of the perfume, taken you thoroughly. He will curl his frame around you as his engine lets out a deep purr as his face presses into your back as the two of you lay on the berth together. It helped him take his mind off the T-cogs, and it gives him something else he's rather invested in. You can expect to find many more perfumes left as a gift for you.

To Tarn it smells like Garent crusted Salfate crystals sticks that he liked adding into any type of energon.

Optimus trying to show love to Tarn to try and get him to join the autobots, but he worries his son is too far gone

ohhhh Optimus would absolutely try to reason with Tarn... that's his son, after all, he can't help but feel responsible. He tries to connect with him by telling him that now that he's grown, he can choose, that the autobots will welcome him with open arms, that he will welcome him back, if he just chose to join them instead.... But Tarn wouldn't even consider it. He was raised to hate the autobots, to hate Optimus Prime, and he adores Megatron - he is too far gone, groomed into a perfect decepticon killing machine to win his mommy's war, no matter who stands in his way...

[lord-overlips]

Overlord had all but thrown himself against the berth, staring at the dozens of images of Tarn lining his walls, panels retracting almost instantly and recording devices on. He wondered if Tarn was watching his, smirk on his faceplates.

"Mhhh--fraaag- wanted to- take you then and there." He looked up, optics flitting between the images. The cute maid apron... torturing a mech... frag, that was a good one- Overlord was eternally grateful to whoever snapped that image, the poor Decepticon traitor begging Tarn for mercy it looked like...

Overlord wondered what it would be like to play out a role like that. Tarn probably wouldn't like it, but... Overlord was a kinky fragger. He let his helm roll back, one servo on his spike, the other on his valve, digits sinking in, as he imagined playing along such a scene.

Tarn would confront him... accuse him of- slagging off Megatron? What was it... fleeing? The other Overlord had gone awol. Oh... maybe he could convince Tarn to play with some cuffs and restraints at least!

Anyway- he'd be caught, threats of torture soon turning real. The others would maybe want a turn too... ohhhh frag this was good.

Overlord didn't need a whole lot of stimulation before he overloaded, fist frantically pumping his spike as it erupted on the berth, spattering over his abdomen. His back arched and he jammed three digits in to his clenching valve, groaning loud and long, struts shaking, before finally collapsing to the berth.

"Mhhh- ahhhh... Tarn... Tarn... come and take me." He murmured, turning over to bite in to a pillow and grab a thick false spike from subspace, magnetising it to the berth and sinking down on it with a spark deep moan of pleasure. He ground against it, teasing his node, pinching and twisting it roughly- the pain made everything so much better.

. . .

Several hours later and several overloads later, the triple changer was finally mostly satisfied, frame coated in a layer of condensation not to mention other fluids. He sprawled out on the berth, long since having forgotten about the recording devices.

It was a childish habit he'd never gotten rid of. The way he spoke to the familiar plushie now cuddled up against him. Doubts crept in to his processor and he wondered out loud.

"Do you think he really likes me? It's not just.... an act?" He gave the purple unicorn plush a squeeze, optics wide, lip plates twitching lightly and spark suddenly aching. He curled up slowly, leg struts tucking in close, stuffed toy clutched tightly and hugged close as he sought to comfort himself, eventually dozing off. He'd forgotten to turn the recording off, blissfully unawares of whether Tarn had been privy to that vulnerable moment.

OHHHH headcanons! hc 🧡, 🤥, 👻, ❓

🧡: Friendship-themed headcanon

Tara and @trustme-imamedic are long distance besties. Platonic soulmates and perfect counterparts. Never let them be unsupervised in a room together. Someone will end up with their internals now external, and it would probably be Tarn...

🤥: Lie-themed headcanon

Oh man. Avi (Earthspark) is a TERRIBLE liar. He literally cannot lie to save his life. He gets so nervous he just tries to LEAVE. Usually through a window.

Meanwhile Tarantulus (BW) lies just for fun. He will tell you misinformation for no other reason than giving you misinformation. It's a fun little treat for him.

It does not occur to Tarantulas (SOTW) to lie. Even in scenarios where it would be in her best interest to try and lie, she just. Doesn't. It's kind of incredible considering she's an excellent actor and could lie as easily as breathing, but why would she do that when it's better to be as literal as possible?

👻: Supernatural occurrences

Tarantulus talks about the Vok sometimes and the other two tell him to shut the fuck up about his dumb ghost fixation. He takes Waspinator out ghost-hunting with him and the two of them are the worst paranormal investigators possible. Wasp is terrified the entire time, Lulu is trying to provoke any Vok/spirits/property owners/etc, they've already eaten all the snacks they packed...

Tarantulas has to pick them up afterwards. Everyone is embarrassed by this.

❓: Receiver's choice

Avi and Tara refuse to let Nightshade meet Lulu.

Ahh screw it I just wanna geek out some of my reasons for thinking the entire DJD is autistic. 1. This may sound really weird but I would not be surprised if helex hates brushing his teeth for sensory reasons, this is a struggle I have and I wouldn't be surprised if he had it too. 2 you could say their just one big special interest group, the way they act about twords peace and Megatron just feels like a special interest gone too far. 3 kaon's entire personality give me the feeling that if he's not autistic he's at least neurodivergent. Also his relationship with the pet reminds me of how some of us will have a comfort item, or person that it feel like we can't live without. Mine was a plush mimsy from the last mimsy for example (it was taken from me as a kid sadly). 4 very strong emotions are very common I had strong anger reactions early in my life, thus why I feared becoming like Megatron in the past. And like majority of them have strong anger issues 5 nickel's way of showing her love and compassion twords them. I will not say much more. 6 tarn, ohhhh boy tarn. Let's see: strong emotions, obsessive tendencies, his feeling of betrayal and his reaction. The Emperian suite gives sensory seeking vibes, additionally as someone who's also been emotionally abused as a kid in addition to being autistic: his inherent need to hide his true emotions from others no matter how much he trusts them (when you're autistic and this happens you overly generalize that everyone will belittle how you feel especially if it happens more than once with multiple people) His love for theatrics also feeds into this because art is the only way left to express those repressed emotions. You'll even be seeking comfort where ever you'll get it. Honestly I could make an entire post on why I feel tarn is autistic.

Anon this is amazing analysis! And I feel you on that Kaon part I definitely read him as neurodivergent too! But oh my god the Tarn stuff is so good! I can definitely see them all as being autistic. I imagine the glasses for Tesarus are also for sensory issues (maybe he's very sensitive to light) and I know Tarn canonically wears the mask to keep himself from picking at his face. Also with the Pet I can definitely see him being Kaon's comfort "object".

Tarn is definitely being put in the chart now.

tarn was animated in cyberverse 2018 as the final villain

OHHHH TYSM I HAVENT BEEN INTO TF FOR YEARS SO I HAD NO IDEA <3333

[lord-squiggletits]

People who think that Optimus was mean to Megatron in IDW are just... So blinded by bias (and not reading the factual text) it hurts.

Like honestly it just gets to me that Megatron forced their entire race into a 4 million year war despite Optimus trying time and time again to get him to stop (killing billions along the way). And on multiple occasions did obscenely hurtful things specifically to prove a point to Optimus (Damus/Tarn) or hurt him (the Chaos Theory conversations in Omega Supreme). And in general is responsible for pretty significant chunks of Optimus' misery.

And then...after all of that............

Optimus still decides to have faith in Megatron and...abuses his authority and all common sensibilities of justice and reason to let Megatron be the captain of his own redemption journey despite EVERYONE ELSE NOT WANTING THIS.

But oh, Optimus is so mean because he...what... Made Megatron drink a placebo? Rewrote his speech? Was a little brusque and cold to him during their last conversations?

Pretty much every action and emotion Optimus has towards Megatron is biased and full of ridiculously dangerous and impractical trust in his better nature. But ohhhh, he's so mean to Megatron, he's such a jerk, he doesn't deseeeerve Megatwooon.

I'm salty.

[transingthoseformers]

And that there would be a reference to Megs v Tarn and Oppy v Mega Prime, how that order gets swapped up.

[lord-overlips]

The triple changer cried out in utter bliss at that touch to his node, rolling his hips in jerky, shaky motions, servo going lax around Tarn's throat as he struggled to keep up and almost caressing Tarn instead now. He panted heavily, charge building and heat pouring off his frame. His cooling fans worked overtime, condensation beading on his frame and Overlord letting out a statticy groan when Tarn finally met his optics, valve feeling slick with fresh, wet heat at just that look. He managed a wry grin at Tarn's words, hoisting his hips up again and slamming down, optics rolling back in pleasure as that delightful piercing atop Tarn's spike teased at his forge, buried so deep and lighting his frame up with pleasure.

That smug look disappeared the moment Tarn spoke, Overlord's flimsy composure shattering.

'Overload for me'

That voice seemed to stab right in to his spark, heat blooming there and travelling down his backstrut like lightening. His valve spasmed and clenched down so tightly that Overlord cried out in shock, optics shorting out for a moment as he rutted desperately against Tarn, lips parted and quivering at the overwhelming sensation.

"AAHhhh! Ah- Ahhhh f-fraaaaaag! Mhhh- F-FUCK- Tarn... nhh...ohhhh,-frag- fragging Primus!"

Overlord keened and jerked his hips with all the voracity of a turbohound in heat, trying to force that spike deeper, optics rolling back again and glossa lolling now as he panted. Sweet, slick pleasure pulsed through his valve as it spasmed and squirted around Tarn's thick member, squeezing down so tight it must have been near painful for Tarn.

Overlord couldn't have stopped if he's wanted to, driven by insatiable lust and need, grinding down hard enough to dent plating and slamming his hips against Tarn insistently. Servos gouged and tore at the ground beneath, the triple changer at least cognisant enough not to do the same to Tarn's frame.

Tarn wasn't exactly sure what would happen first, him overloading before Overlord decided he could or passing out due to the servo around his throat. The loss of sensation around his spike had him groaning in frustration, his talent seeping into the sound. His own impending overload ebbed away for the time being. The release of pressure around his throat made his helm swim, his optics rolled back a bit before directing down as his servo was forced down to the dripping valve over his spike.

Of course the selfish mech would demand his own overload first. Very well, if he insisted. He pressed the pad of his thumb to Overlord's node, moving in slow, teasing circles around it for the moment before a ragged gasp left him. That valve squeezing and fluttering around his already sensitive spike had his charge rocketing up again.

He cared little for the blue pain transfers that were sure to mar his hip plating, if Overlord wanted his focus, then he'd get it.

His thumb rubbed over his node quicker, being careful with his claws as to not tear any sensitive mesh, for now. His optics met Overlord's directly, bright with charge and lust.

"Insatiable... aren't you." He huffed, vocalizer a bit ragged from the pressure that had been put there. "Then overload for me." He groaned out the word, his voice once again pulled at Overlord's spark, pulling him over the edge of pleasure and intensifying it.

imagine Tarn just chilling in a snuggie

Ohhhh my god I am imagining it and I love it!!! The snuggie would have little Decepticon symbols on it!!! Tarn would also have a glass of wine and be reading his favorite book while listening to some soothing music!!! He is relaxed, warm, and happy!!!
