#one thing worse than mad optimus

[unicornblossom13]

Bumblebee: You’re mad at me, aren’t you, Boss Bot?

Optimus: I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

Bumblebee: Oh, come on! Everyone knows that’s worse!

Tfp Megatron with autobot fem bot reader who tries to dom him but quickly fails 😭 nsfw of course

Message - This is a great idea, I laughed just thinking about it.

Megatron x Vehicon Reader NSFW

Summary - Decepticon Soldier tries to over power her leader. This was plan that she regrets later.

Warning - NSFW

You have been known as a favorite amongst the lower ranks. Megatron has seen you since before the war and you were one of the many first bots to go into the Decepticon Faction. He has been proud of your work and you have been ranked as a Sargent, being able to take charge of your own little Vehicon group. You are still known as a low rank Vehicon, even Breakdown is higher then you. It was a nice rank, not to low and not to high for you to be stressed about and not have too much work. Megatron still respects you as an individual, and doesn't put you in with the other soldiers. You are one of the rare few that could tease Megatron without dying first, which is always an amazing accomplishment.

Starscream, of course, hates you and tries to get you in trouble a lot of the time (If he cares about how much you are succeeding). There was one time he shot a missel, which totally destroyed a mine shaft and blamed it on you. At the time he had a lot of evidence to frame you, so Megatron was surprised you would do something so impactful for their war efforts, but was furious. Thank Primus you quickly explained the situation before he got close enough to hit you, because if you didn't, you would not be here today. After that incident, Megatron asks you if something was true before he gets pissed off. It was also one of the many reasons he doesn't trust Starscream with any report, so he lets Soundwave handle them. Megatron didn't think about you a lot in the beginning of the war; You were nothing to him like every other mech that was not in the high command. Now a days, you have caught his attention a lot more than he wanted to admit. Every mission you have was a 90% success rate, you returned to the ship at good times, and you never got caught most of the time. The one thing he liked about you as well was your personality, cocky, confident, and had a sharp tongue when it comes to wit. He figures he wouldn't be too angry if you were injured, but damn would he be disappointed about it. He has enough patience with you as much as he does with Soundwave, which was pretty good for a soldier like you. The only time he got physical with you was when he was blinded by rage and almost threw you off a cliff, but you soothed him before he could do any damage he would regret later. Megs wasn't even mad about something you did, and after what happened he knew he needed help with his anger problems…and how he uses his strength.

Right now, he was called by Starscream that Optimus was in the area he has been scouting and the soldiers are fighting his squad. Megatron transported there as fast as he could, as it has been a few months since he was able to face his mortal enemy. After the fight, he was told the total death and injure count of what happened at the battle. It was a tie between them, as both had to retreat from the unstable rocky cliffs they were fighting on. Megatron hated draws, it was worse then losing in his mind. He was already not in a good mood when Starscream was bragging about his fighting skills, when he spots you from far away, trapped in between some rocks. Your left leg and arm was trapped, but you didn't want to call for help because you felt like it would make you look weak in front of Megatron if you told him. As you were attempting to carve the rock, your body starts to be covered by a large shadow that is coming from behind you. Turning around, you gasp from Megatron being right there in front of you. "My liege! You do not have to worry about me, sir. I will be able to get out soon." Now you were sweating from him watching you struggle, as you carved a bit of the rock that was pressing against your arm. He stood up straight and stayed where he was, not wanting to help you just yet. "Which one put you in this predicament?" Laughing nervously from the question you get your arm free. "That yellow car, Bumblebee. He didn't have the spark to end me, so he left when he knew I couldn't fight anymore." Megatron rolled his eyes, hating how much of a coward those Autobots were. Thought, he was glad that nothing fatal came your way.

You feel the rock on your leg gets picked up, Megatron throwing it to the side. "Oh, thank you sir. What do we do now? We can try to catch up to them." Megatron was surprised you were still ready to fight; Your leg was bent a bit, but he could see you clench the knife in your hand to show him you still had fight in you. "No, we will take the injured and get Knockout to do his job. Tomorrow we can start tracking for their base again. We must be close." Megatron turns and walks away, ending the conversation to go through the ground bridge that Soundwave just placed next to him. You go with him and is sent to Knockout to help you with your leg. Knockout tends to you, and you laid there to think about what else you can do today. Your leader is a very grumpy mech that seems to want to do something else other than fight. He seemed bored for so long, wanting something knew to happen. Earth got him motivated again, but after staying here for a few years, he has been getting back to feeling like the days are going by slower. You finally got a risky idea…hopefully you don't die for this plan. Knockout watches your expression changes into a smirk and he sighs. "Don't do anything stupid, I just buffed you."

Megatron was walking in the hallways to go back to the brig, the doors open and he finds something that bewildered him. Soundwave was gone for a mission with others so the only person that was in the room was you. You were sitting on his thrown, knees spread with your back lazily leaning back on the chair. You gave him a smirk, which made him tilt his head. You never did something like this before, it was crazy to see one of his best soldiers do something that would have them killed in seconds. The fact he is able to compose himself, trying to understand what you are doing before he blasts you out of the fucking chair. "What is the meaning of this?" He sounds like he was keeping his cool. Megs hopes to Primus you weren't turning into another Starscream and has a trap for him if he stepped closure. You cross your legs together in a slow, sassy way. "You don't like it? I wanted to protect your space so some jet wouldn't try to steal it again." His eyebrow raised, knowing you were lying out your ass. You did look good right now, but you always did to him. "I feel as though there is something more than that." He walks over to you and stands a foot away from his chair, staring at you like you were not suppose to be there. "I understand you wanted something different, so I thought maybe I could give you some sort of surprise. Nothing more." You brush your pede against his lower leg, rubbing against it to be more sensual while you talked. Megatron now understands what you were doing and narrowed his optics. What a curious little doll trying to act like she owns the place to make him feel such a warm way. You were doing something he knew was a life or death situation, which was a surprise to him how daring you were.

The second you try to raise your leg more to rub against his upper leg, you feel his hand quickly grab you by the throat. You yelped from such a quick motion as you are raised in the air and put against the wall. The fear set in, but his free servo touching your hip got you to know that you won. "What a snake you are, y/n." Megatron grumbles in your ear, feeling him press himself against you. You needed to try to get your way again, so you glide your servo on his cheek to try and keep your dominance, though it was lost immediately when he bit down on it when he felt you. The scream that comes out of your mouth made him understand you quit. Megatron chuckles and licks the mark he gave to you on your palm. "How dare you try to get your way with me like that. You need to know your place." He flips you around, so now you are facing the wall with him behind you. He presses you against the ship, rubbing your aft with his other servo. You moan from the pressure, arching your back a little to show him how much you are loving this. Megatron smirks and pops his panel, pressing his spike in between your legs. Gasping from the sudden touch, you desperately try to open your panel for him, wanting him inside of you this second. He watches every movement you make, looking at your valve coming into light as you play around with it to tease him. The more you toyed with him, the more he was going to be a bit rougher. He slaps your aft which made you straight yourself again and keep your hands against the wall. "You are so disrespectful to your leader. Why don't you relax and let me do the job."

You were going to say something cocky, when his spike is shoved inside your tight valve, making you scream. Grabbing your hip with one servo while gripping your helmet with the other, he pounds you like there was no tomorrow. He loved destroying you like you deserved it, honestly he was starting to feel better than how he was a few hours ago. Watching your valve closing and stretching over and over was putting him in a entranced spell. You released, but he kept going like he didn't even know you just cam. Everything became a lot more sensitive and you started to just become a moaning mess. If anyone was in the hallways next to the room, they could probably hear you screaming, even if the walls are thick. Megatron would keep going until it was his time to cum, but that was going to take while. You feel yourself cumming for the second time, and you needed him to stop from how much you were feeling right now. Your sensitivity was through the roof and he was still pounding your valve without slowing down. "Ah! Megs! S-slow dow-ah!". He hears you begging for him and he quickened the pace. Your back was fully arched and your head was pushed against the wall a bit more before he slams inside you for the last time, jamming all his juices inside of you. He pulls out and takes a breather, letting go oh your helm to let you relax. Your body drops on the floor, your ass aching from the abuse it just went through. Panting, you try to get up with your pedes shakily pressing against the ship's floor. Seeing you struggle, he grabs your frame and carries you off somewhere. You didn't know where he was going, until he places you down on his birth. Holy scrap, you were in the warlords birth room. You looked over to see him open the door again. He looks back at you and gives you a cocky smile. "Stay there, I am not done with you." He leaves, making you lay there to regret all your choices up until this point.

[adridoot]

@yuukirita your secondbee AU is destroying me, so I hope you enjoy this. Might have another in the works. maybe-

unbeta'ed and wrote in, mostly one sitting

The grave site isn't the most pleasant place to be, it's not really a place he visits often. Doesn't have much of a reason to, but he had someone to speak to today. Someone he needed to speak to, someone he hoped would listen.

Bumblebee's steps are quiet, not making a sound. The site is eerie, especially when there was no-one around. The graves are lined up in an orderly fashion, some plain and cold, others dotted with offerings. There is one in particular he's looking for, and it's the brightest one.

'B-127 Brother. Friend. Warrior'.

He knelt before the headstone, dipping his head in respect. He noticed that there seemed to be a new decoration, someone had carefully cut out a piece of graffiti.

'Bee was here'. Bumblebee glanced at it, he sure was here.

Now he wasn't.. But Bumblebee was.

"..Hey." It's awkward, how do you talk to a headstone of someone you didn't know? Someone you reminded everyone else of, to the point they seemed.. Weird around you.

He tapped his digits together, wishing somehow he could actually be face to face with this.. Bee. He sighed before running a servo down his helm as he stood.

"I'm.. I'm Bumblebee. I've been here a few times before, with Optimus Prime. You know him - knew him.." He vented harshly, his wing doors drooping a little. This felt awkward, why did this feel so awkward?! "..Lots of the bots here have a lot of things to say about you, y'know? Good things.. Bad things.. Said the war at the start would've been a lot worse if you weren't there at the start.. Course I only hear stuff from the battle field.. Wish I could go."

Bumblebee rocked on his pedes, linking his servos behind his back. His optics glanced skyward, before focusing on the grave again.

"I remind you of them.. I hear it in their whispers.. I wish I didn't, maybe then Optimus would let me be my own bot. Let me actually help out more instead of sieving through old datapads for something-!" His pede started to tap rapidly on the floor as he spoke, venting harshly once more. He rocked on his heels, squeezing his optics shut before venting again.

"Sorry.. I shouldn't.. Shouldn't get mad at you for that.. It's not your fault, maybe. I don't know." Bumblebee groaned, running both servos across his helm. His audials twitch and he wrinkled his nose slightly. "I'm not.. I'm not entirely sure why I came here.."

The world around him is still and silent. It's not something he's used to. There was always talk, always explosions, always.. Something. There's nothing here.

"..You.. I guess... I just wanted to ask something. It's uh, kinda silly so don't laugh. Okay?" He grinned, he didn't know why. His shoulders slump, his spark feels.. Heavy. "I guess.. I dunno.. Ugh.. I don't know what to do. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, why I'm here.. All I do is just make bots uncomfortable, or they resent me for just being here.. I'm painful."

"Did you ever feel like that? Ever just.. Wonder what you were supposed to be doing..? If you were on the right side, if.. If any of this is worth it..?" He sank down to his knees, feeling more hopeless. "I.. Everyone loved you.. And you loved everyone, in some way. Even if they didn't reciprocate.. Tried to be kind to everyone.."

He bit his lip, drawing his servos close before shutting his eyes with a heavy vent. His system felt stiff, everything felt stiff.

"...Would.." The words feel heavy on his tongue, and when his optics focused on the stone before him he felt tears trailing down his facial plates. He felt like a little sparkling, all over again.

"..Do you resent me..? Being here instead of you..? Or would you have loved me too..?"

The silence that followed is heavy, heavier than the looks from the other bots. The way a name is on their lips when they see him, but it's not his name. The way he's sheltered, the way he's kept out of sight. Bumblebee didn't know why he came here, didn't know what he hoped to achieve. A feeling of enlightenment? Something? He doesn't know.

He read in the archives once about some Cybertronians who had the gift to see ghosts of the bots that had gone to the AllSpark. If he was such a bot then maybe he would know about the arms wrapped around him and a comforting head rested upon his helm. Known about the yellow smoke coiled around him protectively and soothingly.

But Bumblebee wasn't such a bot, so he wept there.

Alone.

[melishade]

what if in Remorse Timeline. Instead of Optimus taking care of Gabi, Terminus is the one taking care of Gabi (maybe add falco if he's not in a coma) and when they find out that this titan is Matthew Hayes/Megatron Dad... they'll so suprised

Megatron getting mad at Gabi

Terminus: D-16, she's just a Kid..

Falco and Gabi: D-16??

Previous Episode of the Remorse Timeline

Megatron's about to get real mad.

So again, Terminus isn't a fighter, but he does have a wealth of knowledge and supplies in terms of history and agriculture. As a result he's been asked by the military to help grow some of those crops on the island. So that's what he's been doing prior to the Liberio attack. People are stunned to see a titan planting seeds and growing crops, but hey, he's also giving tips on how to grow said things. Mr. Blause approves of Terminus' methods.

Megatron is still actively avoiding him, trying so hard to focus on the mission and finding out where Eren is! Terminus would want to talk to Megatron and ask how he's been, and everyone else is pressuring Megatron into talking to Terminus. Again, huge opportunity so many of them wish they had with their deceased loved ones. Armin tries to convince him personally, but:

Megatron:....Your situation is different from mine. You still fight for the betterment of your island. You still consider the safety of the world as a whole, trying to find a peaceful solution through the chaos. I became worse than the very thing I swore to destroy. If your parents were to return, they would still see remnants of a kind and gentle son. I am nothing more than a husk used by the god of destruction! There is nothing left of D-16! He died in the mines that day! So tell me Armin: what in the Allspark am I supposed to say?! How am I to handle things differently?! How am I supposed to tell Terminus that he should have let die in the mines that day in order to spare himself and Cybertron the pain of what I would become?!

Megatron stands up: I don't want sympathy or empathy or remorse! I just...I wished Terminus had stayed dead. It would have spared us both.

Terminus does hear about that and he just feels even worse and kind of gives up on Megatron really talking to him at all.

That being said, Terminus doesn't get involved in the Liberio attack, only hearing about it word of mouth. And I'll be generous, Megatron's own distractions during the Liberio fight changes a few small moments, leading to Falco not getting knocked into a coma. He does fall off the ship because he unable to find stable balance, and the bullet nearly hitting him doesn't help, but Sasha catches him and brings him back up to the ship. But Gabi still has that bullet hole in her ear, and she and Falco are prisoners in a jail cell. They don't find out about the whole Megatron/Matthew reveal. Megatron doesn't visit them this time around, but Gabi and Falco still break out of prison. Note that Gabi and Falco are still on bad terms with each other, Gabi being the more hostile and it's only getting worse after Zofia's death in Liberio.

As Gabi and Falco are on the run, the two come across one of Terminus' crop yield that's already producing fruit. Falco and Gabi are hungry, but it's Falco that makes the move. Gabi insists that they don't eat food off an island of devils, but Falco can't wait. He tries to grab a few for himself and Gabi, but yells when something picks him up by his jacket and lifts him in the air, dropping the food in the process. Falco is terrified as he's now face to face with Terminus holding him in one servo while using a cane to support himself. Before Terminus can speak, Gabi screams and rushes him, holding a pitchfork she found near the crops. She tries to stab Terminus in the ankle but it does little to nothing. She then smacks his pede repeatedly with the pitchfork, demanding he let Falco go while screaming profanities and insults.

Terminus: I assume she's with you.

Falco, surprised he can talk: Uhhhhhhhhhhh

Terminus is just tired and he sits down before grabbing Gabi looking the two of them in the eye. He demands to know what they were doing trying to steal his crops. Falco tries to lie, says they were hungry and they ran away from home. Terminus doesn't buy that completely as he brings up the insults thrown his way, stating that he's heard them from humans a million times on the mainland. Falco tries to come up with another excuse, but Gabi makes things worse by screaming more insults at him, and Terminus puts two and two together and realizes they were the Marleyan prisoners that snuck aboard the Jackhammer. Terminus is taken off guard at how young they were, not remembering it being brought up in conversation.

Falco asks fearfully if Terminus was going to kill them. And Terminus states that he doesn't kill before setting them down. Gabi calls him a liar and Terminus can't help but be annoyed with this human. He knows she's brainwashed, but c'mon! He just let them go! Falco asks if he was going to turn them in, and Terminus does think it over.

He knows things are hostile on the island right now, and that there would be a few people wanting to kill two people from Marley, regardless if they were children. He's been in prison himself. It's not fun. But he can't have two trained soldiers running around trying to kill people, especially Gabi.

So he gives them an ultimatum: they could stay with him and help him out with agricultural stuff. He was considered a neutral party; no one would suspect they were with him. In return, they would be protected and fed. Gabi immediately says no to the idea while Falco is insisting that she do it. Gabi shouts at Falco, calling him a traitor, but Terminus speaks up again, reminding her that he can just turn them over if they say no to his deal. Falco reminds her that the two of them need to survive and get back home. Gabi is forced to reconsider and decides to cooperate for now until she can find a means of escaping.

Terminus grabs his cane and gestures for them to pick up their fruit before following him. Falco scrambles to grab what he can and quickly follows while Gabi reluctantly follows behind Falco, holding the pitchfork in her hands.

Some notes:

-So Terminus makes Falco and Gabi work, especially since he thinks it's good to have smaller hands. Falco excels while Gabi's face is in the dirt. She keeps screwing up.

-Falco starts talking with Terminus and confesses that he's surprised to meet a talking titan, and one that was old. Falco realizes his mistake but Terminus can't help but chuckle. Terminus tells Falco that he's been old for a long time.

-Falco and Terminus talk a lot. Terminus talks a lot about some of the plants that have been considered extinct while Falco is excited learning history about the world.

-Gabi gets frustrated and jealous really fast. Falco was falling for the words of this titan. This titan was trying to convert Falco and get him to join this island of devils. Gabi confronts Falco about it, but Falco can't help but be mad at her. Terminus was protecting them for now. And he thought that she considered him a bad friend. Why should she care how he spends his time?

-Gabi's hurt by this and Terminus does notice, deciding ask what's wrong and give her advice. Gabi initially refuses, but Terminus speaks from his own experience with Megatron (without saying his name) and how the two aren't on speaking terms, and Gabi does listen, surprised that a titan would have such...complex problems.

-Megatron asks Wheeljack to bring Terminus to the neutral ship as signs of the chaos persist. Wheeljack goes to grab him, and Terminus states that's he's bringing Gabi and Falco. Wheeljack is a little suspicious at their nervous expressions, but doesn't question it as he brings all three to the neutral ship. Gabi and Falco are shocked at the sight of humans there (The Restorationists, Erwin practicing with his new arm, Kenny), Megatron makes himself known to talk to Wheeljack, but his mind screeches to a halt when he spots Falco and Gabi hiding behind Terminus in fear of him.

-And Megatron can't help but start laughing at the absurdity of it all.

(Setup needed to happen first, but Gabi and Falco will find out in the next ask, or a few moments, depending on the time frame you're looking at)

[in1-nutshell]

Hi!! It's me again! I absolutely LOVE the latest post so how about we switch it around this time?

Imagine being tfp Megatron's older brother who is WAY different from him, so hipper, pinky, soft and happy all the time just like pinky pie until he gets his hands on his guns and blasters as he starts shooting and blasting all the enemies while laughing like a maniac.

Also can you please make him and Optimus have a secret relationship? Thank you for doing my request(s) and i hope you have a wonderful day!!

Its fun doing these request when one sibling has the complete opposite personality as the other. As for the romantic side of this, I left it vague, but its there. Thinking it as pre relationship pinning. I chose random Con's since you did not specify which ones. If these are not the ones you want, please let me know.

Hope you enjoy!

Megatron’s older brother who is a softy and trigger happy for blasters

SFW, platonic, slight romantic, familial, Cybertronian/ Bot reader

No one knows how they are related. Many speculate that the older brother simply lost his mind. Others think it’s some sort of master façade he is pulling off. But he is known widely on both sides of the war for his insane usage of their blaster. A true agent if chaos behind that blaster.

Despite this Buddy is one of the softer Con’s onboard the Nemesis. When he is not wielding a blaster in the heat of battle, he is the other doctor besides Knockout.

He is a visible representation of the good side of the Decepticon cause.

Megatron

He loves his older brother truly.

But the way he acts irks him greatly, especially seeing how long the war has dragged out.

He loves seeing his older brother behind the blaster. He knows that he will hit his target and get things done.

As one of the only other doctors Megatron doesn’t bring Buddy out to the field as often as he’d like. But in a way it is good to know that his brother is safe on the ship.

Starscream is not allowed 10 feet from Buddy.

Megatron is no fool in how powerful his brother can be, whether with blaster or his words. He did after all help him with his manifesto before the war broke out.

He used to tease his older brother for having feelings for Orion Pax back on Cybertron.

“It appears we have soft spots for archivist, brother. Some of us however, softer than others?”--Megatron

“I don’t know what you’re talking about Megatron. Pax and I are just friends.”--Buddy

“I never specified it was Orion Pax.”--Megatron

“…”--Buddy

“You can lie to yourself, but you can’t lie to me.”--Megatron

“…Not a word…”--Buddy

But now as Optimus Prime, Megatron does not let Buddy anywhere near him. He is afraid deep down that the Autobots will take advantage of him, or worse get him to defect to their side.

If Buddy ever defected to the other side, not only would Megatron spiral more into his madness, but he knows he won’t be able to hurt Buddy.

He just couldn’t do it if it came up.

“Prime?”--Buddy

“Hello.”--Optimus

“What seems to be the occasion? We are not by any energon mines or ships…”--Buddy

“I have come to ask you something.”--Optimus

“And what would that be?”--Buddy

“Will you—”--Optimus

“YOU WILL NOT!”--Megatron

“Megatron?!”—Optimus and Buddy

“Wait how did you get here?”--Buddy

“GET YOUR FILTHY SERVOS FROM MY BROTHER, PRIME!”--Megatron

“HE WASN’T EVEN TOUCHING ME!?”--Buddy

“DIE!”--Megatron

Soundwave

Soundwave is one of Buddy best friends aboard the Nemesis.

As the brother of his leader Soundwave comes to Buddy a lot to relay messages or give updates.

Buddy in return makes sure that his workplace is spic and span. For maximum work efficiency of course.

Buddy is often followed by Lazerbeak when they go out of the ship. Buddy doesn’t mind it too much enjoying the minicons company.

“Are you joining me on my patrol today Lazerbeak?”--Buddy

Lazerbeak bobbing up and down.

“Heh. Then let us go, my friend. The sooner we do patrol the sooner we come back to the ship.”--Buddy

During the early stages of the war, Buddy often teamed up with Soundwave’s minicons whenever he wasn’t called to Megatron’s side. Soundwave knew that if they were with him, they would be fine.

The one time he wasn’t there…

It was a day of mourning for the small group of Decepticon’s that had recently formed. Buddy held on to Soundwave as he mourned and did his oath of silence.

There is an unspoken respect for each other that runs deep.

If Buddy was ever in danger on the battlefield, Soundwave is the first to send a ground bridge to his location. Worst case scenario, he is going in there himself to get Buddy out of there.

“Prime, it seems we are alone on the battlefield again.”--Buddy

“It seems we are.”--Optimus

“Are we going to finish this? Or are we going to wait for my brother?”--Buddy

“Whatever choice you make. Though this would not be the case if you’d join—”--Optimus

Groundbridge opens as Soundwave is flying to get Buddy out of there.

“Till we meet again Prime!”--Buddy

“Till we meet again.”--Optimus

Knockout and Breakdown

These two are his best friends. They share the number one slot.

Soundwave is the close second.

At first the pair was weary of Buddy for his reputation on the battlefield and being the older sibling of their leader.

They are very much surprised on how soft Buddy was.

Over time they stop being so stiff and come to relax in each other’s presence.

There is a lot of gossip that happens in the medbay.

Knockout finds himself a new doctor friend to talk to.

“So, what did the human do this time?”--Buddy

“Well, this one decided to scratch my paint job. So, I thought it was only fitting to do the same.”--Knockout

“Is the human dead?”--Buddy

“…No?”--Knockout

“Knockout.”--Buddy

“Maybe? I don’t know.”—Knockout

Breakdown finds himself a new sparring partner and co-nurse/co-doctor. The two of them often look out for the Vechicon soldiers.

“Do you think we can get the Vechicon’s better rationings?”--Breakdown

“I’ll see what I can do Breakdown. I think I can do it.”—Buddy

If Buddy is in any danger while they are together, they are making sure that Buddy has their support. Knockout attends Buddy’s wounds and will snap at him for trying to mend it himself.

“Will you stop picking the welding! You should know that irritates the wound!”--Knockout

“… It itches…”--Buddy

“Oh my—Breakdown hold him down.”--Knockout

“Wait what?”--Buddy

“Sorry Buddy but this is for your own good.”--Breakdown

“You both are traitors to my itching!”--Buddy

Vechicons

All of them visibly relax when Buddy comes in.

Everyone knows Buddy and their reputation. It’s not a reputation anyone can take lightly.

But he does take extra care of the smaller troops that go out into battle. Besides Breakdown, Buddy seems to be the only other bot who actively worries about the lives of each and every one of them.

“Hello Steve.”--Buddy

“Oh! Hello Buddy—I mean Lord—”--Steve

“At ease. And you know how I feel about those titles.”--Buddy

“Of course.”--Steve

On the slower days on the ship, Buddy likes to talk to the crew to boost their morality or give them a shoulder to vent or cry on because this war had gone on for millennia and there seems to be no end in sight.

If Buddy was ever wounded in battle, all the Vechicons are on it. They make sure that he gets back to the ship as quickly as possible. Screw whatever mission, they are getting one of the only Cons that cares out of there alive.

Buddy is down! I repeat Buddy is down!”—Vechicon 1

“Get him out of there! Flank left and right!”—Vechicon 2

“On it!”—Vechicon 3

“Don’t worry Buddy we are taking you back to the Nemesis for repairs.”--Steve

“Knockouts not going to be happy about this.”--Buddy

Somewhere on the Nemesis.

“I feel like someone’s paintjob got horribly scratched.”--Knockout

“How can you tell?”--Breakdown

“I don’t know… but it feels wrong.”--Knockout

[tracklessreason]

I LOVE! your Hive Prime AU!! Just binged every post and my head is absolutely swimming with brainworms!!! Shaking him around in a bottle!!

I would love to know more about the HiveSpark AU! Really enjoyed how girlfail ES bee was at being a parental figure so, hive prime would be even worse!!! (/pos) How does he feel about taking care of Wilder? How does Wilder feel about Hive? Or the other Primes? Omg! What does Optimus think about Wilder and Hive!! WHAT DOES RATCHET THINK- (sorry!!! I am so so so excited!)

What does Hive actually do after taking back control in the Voice of the Autobots AU? How do all the other Autobots feel about the new prime? Do the other primes still try and take control? Are they mad? Does Hive even listen to them anymore?

Is Optimus proud of Hive?

(sorry about the question spam! no need to answer them all I'm just! I love your work so much???? Hive Prime is so so cool!!! I love when people take Bee, the trademark 'happy fella' guy and just, 1 billion trauma and responsibility him!!!!)

(OH! Hi!!! It's been a little while since anyone's had interest in what I'm up to with my AU's, so please, don't apologize! As a writer, we really mean it when we say that you taking the time to ask about our works is such a joy. Everything I do is 100 percent passion, and I tend not to share it because the stuff I really like doesn't do well. I've got a geometry meme post doing straight numbers right now, meanwhile my very heartfelt OC crashed and burned, poor fella. But anyways, thank you for talking to me! I love talking to people!!!!! I'm so happy that you also want to shake Hive in a jar!)

Hive and Wilder's relationship is much more loving than a plain description of their situation makes it out to be. Hive really does love his son, promise! He's just also very tired. It's the autobot equivalent of raising a kid while chronically ill.

Hive spends very little time with Wilder between Prime responsibilities, and Prime nuisances. It weighs on him, honestly. But when he is with his son, the two are a real handful. It's one of the most stark reminders that the autobots get that Hive is in fact the same trouble making bot beneath the massive frame and responsibility. The two are birds of a feather, and even without the voice bank, Wilder understands his father innately. He is a very tiny child, with a very massive father, so Wilder can expend some energy just climbing up to sit on Hive's shoulder.

But really, even in his hay day Hive couldn't compare to Wilder. That little bastard earned his name. He was online for about a week before Hive was lucid enough to name him, and during that time he caused such a headache for everyone else that Hive's first time holding the kid was simultaneously the first of many long stories about how much trouble Wilder caused. The autobots as a whole are tripping over each other to figure out how to raise a sparkling who's tiny, fast, and determined to cause chaos.

I've said it before, but things go well specifically because Wilder is so intelligent, and the whole community needed to band together to rope him in. Ratchet is a big part of that, as the unofficial second in command, and chief medical officer. Especially because Wilder's immense energy focuses down into a talent for medicine. He holds quite a lot of respect for Ratchet, and sees him as a mentor and second parent.

Really, Wilder is a sweetheart, but too smart for his own good, and he catches on pretty quickly that the reason he can't always have fun times with his father is because of the other Primes. Half his antics are quite clearly bids to annoy the Primes. Really, he can't stand any of them, though the feeling isn't reciprocated.

Most of the Primes are mildly annoyed by him, Prima and Megatronus find him to be an exhausting but darling little sparkling, and Optimus is just very sad that he can't have a good relationship with his closest friend's son. Wilder doesn't recognize Optimus as a good Prime, because ultimately, his bickering with the other Primes over Hive takes just as much energy from Hive as the others do.

As an adult, Wilder never really gets the chance to reconcile. Although the Primes have backed off by then, and his relationship with the autobots and his father is thriving, there were unrealized consequences to being born of the amalgamated DNA of several Primes, and Wilder leaves home towards a painful future...

Voice of the Autobots Hive had a hell of a time between falling into stasis and waking up. While the autobots were busy trying to keep him alive, tiny little Bumblebee was surfing the oceans of his own mind, filibustering every single Prime until he'd made his point clear. It was easier with some than others, but his ultimatum was simple; you advise, I listen, I do. No demands, no forcing control. There was no rest during that stasis, he didn't just wake up and decide to change things. Every second that he was out was being spent to assert himself as the ruler of his own frame.

When he does wake, the change is palpable. The Primes each have an amount of energy alloted to them, and can't take control unless allowed or in times of emergency. It's finally Hive's time to lead, and he steps into it with the wisdom and grace that Optimus taught him. Any fears or uncertainties the autobots had are extinguished. Hive is no longer a silent suffering mouthpiece to warring gods, he makes himself and his intentions well known. The Primes do have sage wisdom to pass down, but Hive certainly isn't dependent on them.

And last, but not least, YES! Optimus is immensely proud of Hive in every single variation of this au. There isn't a single moment from his death until Hive's rise that he isn't on his friend's side, even when it means long and arduous debates with his own mentors. Optimus believes that the Matrix chose Bee, not the Primes, and he couldn't be prouder to know that Hive is worthy. If he'd had a choice in the matter, he himself would have chosen Bumblebee, with Ratchet as a close second seeing as he preferred the medbay to the meeting room.

(Whew, this took a little while! I hope the food's good lol, I try not to make long posts like this normally but you seem like you'd actually enjoy the detail, so I let it get a little long! Thank you again for taking the time to read my work, I really appreciate being able to reciprocate excitement over a project!)

[bots-and-cons]

Hello,I dont remember if I have sent this before but could I get tfp ratchet x human reader angst headcannons where when the base is attacked and everyone gets scattered the reader gets assigned to ratchet(they were under optimus wing).Ratchet however abandons the reader in a fit of rage.Even when everything goes back to normal the reader cant let it slide.They feel betrayed,like they cant trust anyone and they fall into depression.

*Also for the character (something to include only if you want/can):The reader is intelligent like raf but due to ✨the marvels of the educational system✨ they have been led to believe that they are not good enough,so they secretly always seeked the same validation ratchet was giving raf but never felt like receiving it.

I really liked this idea and enjoyed writing this. Ah yes, I love writing angst. HCs as requested

•You found yourself sitting in Ratchet’s front seat in a parking lot who knows where

•The base had been destroyed, you couldn’t contact anyone because the comms could be traced and your phone was out of battery, so you felt like you were pretty much fucked

•”What are we gonna do now?” you asked Ratchet

•He didn’t say anything, and you got the vibe that he was sulking

•”Ratchet?” you knocked on his dashboard, trying to get his attention

•”Get out” he grumbled

•”Sorry what?” you asked, blinking in disbelief

•”Get out, I can’t be responsible for you anymore” he said

•He couldn’t possibly be serious? Was he actually going to just leave you in some parking lot in an unknown town?

•Ratchet didn’t know what to do, and he certainly didn’t know what with you

•It would just be better to leave you here, away from the decepticons and all the danger

•And he was honestly done with the whole situation in general and didn’t want to deal with taking care of a human

•”Get out!” Ratchet raised his voice, which surprised you

•”Fine!” you yelled, trying to cover your hurt feelings by acting angry

•Ratchet drove away and just left you there, in the middle of some mall parking lot, in the middle of the night

•You were mad, but more than that you were incredibly hurt

•You felt like you had been abandoned, which was not far from the truth

•”I guess I’m not good enough for him either” you muttered

•You managed to hold back your tears and walked to a nearby store to borrow a phone to call your family

•When you eventually reunited with the team, you refused to talk to Ratchet and he was so busy he didn’t even really notice

•You honestly didn’t want anything to do with him

•You slowly became more withdrawn and depressed, and no one understood why

•You resented Ratchet for leaving you there and you felt like your trust had been broken like never before

•None of the other’s abandoned their human companions alone in an unknown town, which made it even worse

•Was there something wrong with you? Were you really that bad that Ratchet didn’t want anything to do with you? Were you really not good enough to even check in on?

•Ratchet was too busy with everything to try to mend things with you, and it eventually sort of slipped his mind

•You ended up not talking at all anymore, and you drifted apart quickly

When siblings fight

Masterlist

Rodimus

Sunset is Rodimus' only kid, thank Primus.

More times than not, some bots think that they are spark brothers (Sunset looks a lot like Rodimus when he was Hot Rod) before they realize that Sunset is a Terraformer and say something about it (occasionally they just say "ah, it's one of those" and Rodimus takes it as an insult even if it wasn't)

He is also usually way more calm and just tries to go on with his life, ignoring what others say about him.

Rodimus is another story.

"Dad, let's just go-"

"Ah no, I have a few things to say, hey, you frag face!"

"Dad!"

Is usually Sunset who stops Rodimus, in the worse case escenario he will call Ultra Magnus (who is an enforcer), he won't call Megatron because it could get terrible worse (Rodimus, sometimes, gets the old bot on his side, no one knows HOW) and get from a little commentary to bloody hell.

If someone says something about you, then both are on fire (literally) and ready to start a physical fight.

Optimus

Codexia is an only child and she is an angel, she never gets in any fights, in fact, she tries to stop them with tender words and then hearing both parts involved to give a solution.

No one knows how she puts everything in order, but she does, something that she really needs when she takes the title of Prime even when there is no war.

"How did you get them to an agreement?"

"Natural talent?"

If someone says something about you, Codexia tries to be hard, but fails miserably because she cringes everytime someone says a bad word.

Optimus is the one that appears menacingly behind both you in a protective manner, no one can even utter a sound, because that's Optimus fragging Prime.

When she was only Codexia she tried to be as natural and neutral as she could, when she was called Eminence that was even harder since the Autobots badge was put on her, keeps trying to go on with her responsibilities without relaying on Optimus.

Prowl

Chainbreaker is an only child, but he isn't a saint, well, not entirely.

Your kid haven't done nothing wrong in your eyes, he is very disciplined and prefers to talk above starting a fight, even when it doesn't involve him, such a nice kid, that's how every adult bot see him.

In the other hand, Prowl is more than sure that CB has started way too many fights and even made some mild ones worse, but he never has complete evidence of it.

Prowl doesn't know if he must feel worried by this behavior or be pleased (maybe proud) about Chainbreaker's ability to keep a clean track.

"Well played, kid"

"I don't know of what you're talking about, father"

CB really doesn't know, he does try to help calm the riot but he only gets it worse.

Truth is that he has Prowl's resting bitch face, something that he and some Praxians have to live with (Smokescreen tends to pat the young bot's shoulder armor in support and understanding).

Whirl

Whirl knows that Tik Tok is a sentient group of scraplets that can murder a cybertronian by eating it from inside out in mere seconds.

Does that make him stop the fights between his two girls? Absolutely no, he is in reality placing bets.

"That was my energon cube!"

"You don't even have a necessity for it, just drink water or whatever!"

"But that was my sweet flavored energon cube!"

They get physical more times than not.

Cyclonus is the one that stops the fight, or you, or he helps you because Tik Tok and Whirl Jr. can get so mad to one another that more than once you were way to close to being stomped on.

Tailgate is crying in a corner saying that he couldn't live with himself if something ever happened to any of them, almost bawling when they are cat fighting in the floor, he is going to buy more energon snacks, so stop this madness!

Whirl called you all boring, but he is the first one to stop any fight if it really does get out of control.

Blurr

When some parents have two hormone drive teenagers with a short temperament and around the same age, it's normal an even healthy to let them fight and get to a mutual understanding by themselves.

That's a liberty that Blurr and you can't have.

Not when your first child is wild and way too ready to throw a punch or your youngest that can boil someone alive if he really is on the edge.

"Pressurized hot tea pot valve"

"Dry hay hair pussy"

"Cry baby virgin"

"Poor excuse of a mammal"

"You call my tits little one more time and I'm cutting your wires while you recharge!"

Blurr has tried to stop them more than once, but Ripley and Typhoon know that he doesn't exactly mean it when he takes an authority aura, they know that he is way too soft when it comes to them.

When Blurr's long time friends come to the bar and see that kind of display they would laugh while saying how it melts their spark that Ripley acts just like her mentor when he was young, Blurr can only damn his younger self internally.

You need to be there to stop any fight from going too far (your husband simping for you in the corner, quietly).

Blurr has lost way too many loved photos in every one of his kids fighting moments, you tell him that those are still saved in data, he says it's not the same.

Bumblebee

Rosalinde was already a young adult when Blood Horn was forged so they never had a real collision with one another.

It's difficult to be angry with the little femme when she is just so little, and the bright pink of her armor is way too eye catching, making BH quite (a lot) more adorable.

And a lot more easy as a target.

Yet again, Rosalinde has grown worried about Bumblebee, her adoptive father, for as long as she can remember.

And Blood Horn is even worse than Bee when getting in trouble.

"What were you thinking?! That femme was thrice your size!"

"It's fine, she felt my punch in her face plate!"

"But then she stomped all over you! You are covered in dents and your own energon..."

Rosalinde ends up crying more times than not for her little sister.

Bumblebee tries to tell her not to worry, he is going to see what he can do and also talk to BH, but he can only do so much with you already in tears, everyone using your baby as a ragdoll and she going around like it was normal!

Bee can only believe that there is something wrong with the pink color, some kind of bad vibes or something, Arcee likes BH color and tells her so everytime they cross paths.

Jazz

Having three kids is a wild road, one that Jazz takes while singing "Life is a hallway"

He let's them vent anything they want to say because he believes in the growth by experiences.

Pauline is quite the smart cookie, getting away with many discussions as the winner, he is also the oldest, Amber Dust is your little boy, even when he is as tall as a house, so he tends to go for you in hopes of get your help.

Mariah, since she is the family's bebe, tends to be a little shit.

"Why do you have my music in your room?"

"I just found it there, okay bro?"

"Don't lie, Mariah! You don't even need it!"

"Please stop fighting or I'll tell creator about it!"

"Don't get in this, Amber!"

Amber Dust tends to be ignored even when he tries to keep peace, typical middle child crisis.

They never go to far with their words, so Jazz watches and hears from a distance, content smile on his face plate when the three get to a mutual understanding.

And intervening if things go too wild to his or your liking, it never happens, really, but is better be safe than sorry.

[crispy-art-on-fire]

Okay you hanahaki anon's coming back for a few extra funnies sss

I had the working theory that cybertronian flowers in your guts isn't like, a foreign object. Because cybertronians don't really have a large intake of solid material/metal, the idea is that the disease 1. sources its metal from the cybertronian themselves, so that plant is your fucking organs now. have fun. It entangles and ensnares parts together, making removal and repair hard, and gets worse over time. Like, trying to open up one's chassis, or hell, even movement at one point, might become damn near impossible when the roots get tangled up in that. 2. its caused by a lapse/glitch in the nanite system; a bloke struggles with their crush so bad their frame is like "something wrong? but the frame's working fine- guess we gotta revert and become Plant it is," so confessing actually causes it to go away fairly quickly once the 'disease' alleviates and there's no longer pressure to return to botany, so the system just repairs itself. This has all the implications you think it does.

So this bit's kind of more Ratchet-centric, but it might not be immediately apparent that Optimus isn't actually dying dying from this, but was still willing to hide it, even to the point that it seems like he'd rather straight-up die than confess or even tell the team medic about it. It's pretty obvious he's crushing on a con, he's not that stupid, so even if he's crushing on a con, why hide it from Ratchet. It isn't his choice to fall for a con, he would know that, so is this somehow on the medic? Like, would he be forced to take a step back and wonder if his hostility made his team leader worried about telling him? Maybe not, he might just bulldoze on ahead and berate the truck for nearly killing himself, until its more clear that it's not. killing him. Again I run in circles.

What I think, however would be the most interesting is if Blitzwing's still got his crush on Optimus, but he's upfront about it, which now makes the idea of telling the 'con all the more worse. Like, if Oppy isn't saying for the sake of his team, or emotions, or some cosmic third factor, it's going to be so much worse if Blitzwing's reciprocal. Like, Op might not Want to, or reason he shouldn't start a relationship with Blitzwing in this version (insert your reasons here) despite like, he's falling head over flower petals for the triple-changer, but telling him is almost going to make things so much more complicated. Blitzwing might not get why he's doesn't want a relationship, they both clearly want each other, it's literally killing the Autobot. Would Blitzwing get even more pushy, stalker-y or even worse, and would not knowing how'd Blitzwing react cause Op to try and drive his feelings deeper, even considering having the roots removed despite what it'll do to him? Ough. Something.

As a bonus, I think it would be fun/interesting with the "flower petals oxidize to the color of the sufferer's crush's plating" if for both the flowers oxidized the same way. Like, red, blue, and black for Optimus obviously, but what about also red, blue, and black for Blitzwing's three faceplates. Although that would create some hilarious confusion on Op's end. why are the petals his own colors. what

That's about all I've got for subjecting plant diseases onto love-stricken bots. I need to find more creative ways to torture Blitzwing.

Yesss YESSSSS. Eating this, wonderful.

I plp might have figured out but I ADORE when love drives people to madness. The feeling being mutual and they knowing its mutual but Optimus not wanting to cross that gap and admit it and like. It literally having physical adverse effects on him. Ough og!!!! Trapping them in hell where Blitzwing becomes more and more blatant in his feelings because it is required!!! But he isn't granted relief!!! And the escalating behavior just keep confirming to Optimus just why this isn't going to work and is a bad idea while at the same time pushing into a corner where he has to confess.

Also your headcanon on Hanaki disease works for robots EATS. It shall live rent free in my head. Ratchet as is tradition with this ship, has the worst time ever.

[beemochi-art]

so how did all the couples from your au meet? Was it before or after the war had started?

OOOH YAY!! Be sure that I’ll probably be making some comics/ art based on these scenarios. But it the mean time I hope you like reading.

Oplita (before the war)

So Optimus and Elita met when he was Orion pax. She was from Caminis and was on cybertron for an extended stay. He is the adopted son of a higher up (alpha Tyrion.) it wasn’t long before the two were a couple and Ariel (at the time) made arrangements do to stay on cybertron. Though Orion wasn’t opposed to going to Caminus. But then Orion became a prime. In a short time he was forced to see and do things he didn’t want to. He was both forced and convinced that ghosting her was the best option. “You are a prime now and can’t associate your self with blahhdy blah blah.”

After that he refused to be with anyone else. Despite the senate trying to push it on to him. Twice.

During the war, Optimus met Elita again! He was very excited to rekindle their relationship, Elita however realizing this was Orion pax was pissed. Lucky tho, Elita is forgiving and still deeply loving. Tho she isn’t as talkative to him as she once was. And doesn’t trust him all the way. Optimus tho he doesn’t show it. He clings to her.

Wheeljack and scavenger (during the war)

Scavenger soon joining the autobots was understandably an outcast. He disliked just about everyone equally as much as everyone disliked him. He was assigned to work with Wheeljack in the lab. He kept to him self and mostly only talked to Wheeljack when he had too. Jacky however found him very attractive. He’d frequently give compliments or just stare at him. To Scavenger this turned from weird to annoying. He yell, snap and insult until he excepted this was his life now and it could be way worse. He didn’t humor Wheeljack at all but you have to get some social interaction somehow.

However one day Scavenger started feeling increasingly ill. He knew exactly what was happening to him. (Decepticons are forced to consume something called nuke very frequently to maintain a higher level of strength. Nuke is mixed in with all the energon decepticons consume. It’s a highly addictive substance, since Scavenger was once apart of devastator he had a higher dosage. But that also leads to withdrawals.)

It was getting worse before it would get any better. He didn’t trust other bots especially medics, so to him, thugging it our was the only option. On particularly hard day Scavenger was on his last nerve, he felt like he was going to be sick, pain up his spine and his vision was kinda funny. This day Wheeljack was way more annoying than usual. This of course was because Jacky could tell Scavenger was barely holding it together. Scavenger started to lose his temper. He started yelling at Wheeljack to gtfo, he stumble and fell backwards a little, Jacky put a hand on his back. Up until this point Wheeljack or anyone for that matter dared touched him. His instincts took over and he attacked Wheeljack. The whole ordeal lasted 2 seconds at most. Scavenger was shocked at what he had done to the only person who had ever been nice to him. He picked Jacky up who is still processing what just happened and took him to Ratchet. While Ratchet was fixing up Wheeljack and yelling at Scavenger, Wheeljack wasn’t mad at him, he actually forgave him. Scavenger wasn’t expecting to be forgiven, He was touched. Unfortunately the moment was ruined Scavenger throwing up all over the place, also placing him in the med bay.

Scavenger apologizes to him many times while they both stayed there, especially after the whole ordeal left Wheeljack with a nasty scar under his eye. They got closer and before Scavenger knew it he’s sharing a hab with him. He’ll deny that they are in a relationship when asked tho.

Ironhide and Chromia (before the war)

Ahhh, oldies being in love. ♥️ They both knew each other when they were both very young, Like when they were kids. They both were the same size at some point but Ironhide got wayy bigger then her, Chomia’s frame type was meant to get bigger too but she never did. Which made her kinda mad and something he took advantage of to mess with her. Throughout their lives it became more clear when they both stood in the eyes of Cybertron’s functionalism society. Ironhide was recruited to be the bodyguard to some high profile individuals while Chromia struggled. Ironhide became increasingly more protective of her, the smothering pissed her off a little and sometimes she really didn’t understand why he would act like that. Because to her she was doing just fine. Chop it up to her being dense too but despite the frequent bullying and threats thrown her way she wasn’t struggling.

But one day a group of construction bots acted on their treats. She was having non of it and put up a pretty good fight. Ultimately tho she lost. Chromia was able to make it back to their hab. When Ironhide found her, he was devastated. When she recovered Ironhide suggested they go to the make shift city call Junkton where they could be safe. Se wasn’t sure at first but ultimately agreed. But they’d never get the chance due to the war breaking out.

Kilomegs (during the war)

Megatron had spent the majority of his early leadership role alone. There were those he trusted like soundwave, Nightbird and a couple others who are loyal to him sure. But no one really close. After a brutal battle he got hurt badly. Normally he’d just patch himself up, he was an ex med student after all. But this time he would need actual medical attention, medical care he’d probably need to go under for. Megatron knew that it was the perfect opportunity for someone to kill him easy. Especially because their most talented medic Knockout is close with Starscream.

So he hid it to the best of his ability. Until it seemed like it would heal up enough for a medic to fix it without putting him under. Unfortunately tho he went into another battle with none other than Optimus Prime. This was the day Megatron got to find out Optimus can find weak points almost instantly… the hard way… Optimus drove a blade into Megatron injury. The Decepticons lost that battle and to them Megatron was showing blatant signs of weakness. A couples of Bots (Starscream.) tried their hand at taking him down after. It didn’t work of course but the relentless attacks could not go on. He decided he had to recover somewhere else.

Megatron said he was going to be over seeing a mining operation for an artifact or whatever. Really this was just an energon mining but they didn’t need to know that. Listen to Soundwave ok byyyeeee. At a first glance you could mistake Megatron as being a heavy weight miner. Just by the color and helmet, and also if you are an idiot. But everyone at the base knew who was and didn’t dare ask questions. Except one.

Megatron had them arranged a spot for him and it was by no means ideal, practically a hole in the wall with a tarp covering it. Megatron didn’t care tho, it was almost nostalgic to him. While he’s resting someone just walks right in and makes them self at home.

“Do you mind if I stay in here? I just need a brake for a bit.”

Megatron was shocked. I mean! You’d think they’d tell people not to come in here. He’s pretty sure he said he’d didn’t want to be messed with. But here’s this rando in his space. Megatron didn’t say anything but just stayed in his little corner seething. Telling himself if he felt better he’d make this bot regret being alive.

“Did you hear that someone from the decepticon high command was going to be here? I hope it’s for nothing serious.”

Megatron couldn’t believe this boy was trying to make small talk with him. He just wanted to go to sleep. He considered using the little energy he had left to throw this guy out, maybe it would make him sleep faster.

But out of nowhere Kiloton gives megs the cutest most wholesome smile. I mean he’s kinda cute… They got to hefty flirting talking and soon kilo hearing that he was Megatron, he took off. Out of embarrassment? fear? Who knows. Megatron was surprised to see Kiloton visit the next day. Kiloton and him got to actual talking, Megatron liked hearing about his views an aspirations, plans for after the war. Megatron noticed he was much more docile around this mech, letting him get away with much more than he would any other bot. They were both obviously very interested in each other but Megatron was still not completely trusting of him, being very careful not to spill too much about his feelings and most importantly his weakness.

Megatron started to notice he wasn’t getting any better. At this point he didn’t even want to look at the wound. Megs started feeling really bad and ended up passing out. Kiloton came to visit only to find Megatron on the floor not responding to anything. When Megatron woke up he was surprised to find Kiloton sharing energon from his own frame with Megatron. Kilo told him that he had found the wound and it was infected and he did his best to clean it. This was Megatron’s point of no return, being able to be venerable without them taking advantage of his weakened state meant more to him than he realized.

Once Megatron was healed up enough with Kilotons help, he felt good enough to return to base. But there was no way he was going to let this mech out of his grasp. They have been in contact until Megatron can make arrangements to bring him in the Nemesis.

There is one more relationship that I haven’t introduced yet. 🫣 involves Starscream. Kinda a rare pair. As in I’m pretty sure I’m the only one.

Why are Autobots just as bad as the Decepticons?

Why? Some people seem to be under this impression that the Autobots have some kind of original sin that makes their cause morally inferior to that of the Decepticon 'revolutionists', for Reasons:

1. Autobots are bad because they were part of the old oppressive government.

Okay but it was literally Optimus who came up with the name, when he stormed the Senate demanding for autonomy? Sentinel took it for his own use. Optimus was a fugitive under Sentinel. He was doing vigilante work against the government. 

2. But Optimus was a cop and served Zeta. Cops are bad and Zeta was bad so Optimus was just as bad. 

Well Optimus only worked with Zeta because Zeta hid his true colours at first and seemed a decent progressive guy. He and Megatron killed Zeta when that turned out not to be the case, thus ending the oppression of the old government. 

What did he do as a cop that’s so unforgivable, besides the occupation itself? He wasn’t making political arrests for the government (he treated Megatron with respect and lauded his polemics, he sided with rebel bomb planter Hot Rod) or persecuting people based on their class or function. He threw the cops who did that in jail (sorry Whirl), he got help for the people on the streets instead of arresting them as per government protocol (Drift). The only arrests he was shown to make were either thugs harassing defenceless citizens (the guys beating up Drift), illegal drug and arms dealers (Swindle), murderers, and terrorists. Notice how they’re all Decepticons. Because that’s what the Decepticons were to Cybertron’s society.

— Like it's important to note that there's never been a sweet point in Decepticon history where they were true upright freedom fighters, dedicated to nothing but emancipation of the people. That idealized version only ever existed in Megatron's writings. The Decepticons didn't start out well-meaning and turned bad somewhere along the way, they've always been a ragtag gathering of degenerates from the dregs of society looking for a venue to excerise violence and embrace their pursuit for chaos and power. They were warmongers. Terrorists. Thugs. Weapons traffickers. Opportunists. Sadists. Bloodsport enjoyers/profiteers. It’s those people who were the targets of Megatron's recruitment speeches when he promised them that he'd turn the planet into their gladiatorial arena. It’s those traits that were coveted, sought, valued by the Decepticon ranks. Revolution of the oppressed lmao, aside from Megatron himself, there's not one honest-to-god true proletariat or bottom class in the Decepticons' upper echelons. Soundwave, Ratbat’s lackey. Starscream, criminal tax swindler. Shockwave, mad scientist (with a specialization in body experimentation) and former sketchy Senator. Honest work got you as nowhere in the Decepticons as in the Cybertron social ladder.

This is an example of political persecution. By a team of sanctioned torture police created for this explicit purpose. For literally every bad thing the government did, the Decepticons have done something to one-up them. Think functionalism is bad? How about let's conscript everyone into a combatant and if you don't want to fight you can die. Painfully. Social stratification? How about a military hierarchy for the entire society based purely on might makes right. Empurata and shadowplay? Forced frame alteration and body experimentation. Lobotomy. Grooming. Vamparc ribbon that sucks the life out of an entire city's worth of people? Burn up the planet and massacre half its population. Unlawful treatment of prisoners? Pick from the menu of anti-personal bombs, live incineration chambers, multi-year torture marathons, or a DJD custom treatment. Persecution/neglect of the unfortuate mechs who ended up on the streets? Just throw them straight into the smelting pool to make into something useful instead. Expansion and colonism? Imperalism and genocide ftw. The Decepticons were worse than the old government in practically every concievable way.

3. But Optimus was violent as a cop.

Yes he was violent towards the Decepticons, a Decepticon specifically, Swindle, an unrepentant repeat offender, because they were using innocents to bomb cities and conquering citystates and Megatron must be stopped before the situation got any worse but Swindle just won’t spit any info. Like obviously his actions were wrong but they weren’t completely unfounded considering the circumstances, certainly not comparable to an equal level with the Decepticons who regularly torture prisoners for the entertainment. The most he's guilty of is paying evil unto evil and meeting violence with violence.

4. Autobots were perpetrators of the injustices of the society because they didn’t actively fight against it.

That’s not true, Optimus fought against it by using his position to help people as much as he possibly could; a lot of his work went against government orders. Rachet fought against it by running his clinic at Dead End. Impactor fought against it when he stood up for Rung. The outlier vigilante team fought against it, they risked their lives to help the Decepticons with Optimus when they stole the fake matrix bomb. Hot Rod fought for Nyon. They all fought by allowing themselves to grow beyond the societally imposed prejudices, by focusing past the rightful anger at being born into such a cruel world, by trying to become the best people they could under the circumstances and extending kindness to others no matter how difficult their own struggles. It's the entire society that's dysfunctional and has been dysfunctional since the beginning of history, individuals should not be held responsible when they're just trying to make the best out of the life they'd been given and not maliciously harming anyone along the way.

5. But that doesn’t count as actually fighting if they didn't get engaged in outright war.

Uhhh I’m sure that’s the justification Decepticons used when they were doing join or die massacres but okay I guess.

And then there’s the grand finale：

6. “Autobots are bad because wars are bad and they fought a war.”

The Autobots didn't want to fight. It was the Decepticons who declared war on them. They were literally forced into it. It was either that or accept Megatron’s peace through tyranny. And there is a massive difference between deaths/violence/destruction/resource appropriation that’s justified by military necessity and the excessive use of force like killing and torture for the funsies only the latter would be considered a war crime omgggg people please stop spamming the word war crime

Anyways this line of reasoning need to go and duel it out with the previous one because they are contradictory.

The Autobots are by no means perfect but to make them comparable to the Decepticons is just. I dont even know. It's like putting a piece of white paper with a black dot on it beside a piece of black paper and saying they're the same colour. No. The black paper didn't even start out white. Of course not everything is going to be that clear cut in war but acknowledging the presence of those grey areas doesn't mean you can equate the values of right and wrong. 

And also associating the Decepticon movement with freedom fighters is buying into their propaganda. Megatron never gave a shit about anyone's freedom other than his own.

'Peace through tyranny' is a pretty self-explanatory phrase come on

My scattered thoughts on Beast Machines - YAPPING below

Here’s the thing tho, Beast Machines has this super awesome early-2000’s cyber tech aesthetic that I just cannot get over, like, Beast Machines feels how the computer room in my old Reception classroom smelled. Like, it fully encompasses that vibe of being at after-school club in the winter time so the school building is dark and the lights keep going off and ur just sucked into Windows XP playing games, and because you’re just a kid and you’re small, the room feels huge, and the light from the monitor and the fire door and the smoke detectors all bounce off the furniture in a weird way — and then you dream about those exact experiences a decade later, and that’s what Beast Machines feels like. — And I love that for this show???

And the scarier bits (because it has a lot of genuinely scary bits) make it feel like a weird nightmare but the kind where you just go along with it. Like, even if I think the story was kinda whatever and the characters were fucking me right off, the music and the art direction go crazy for my computer brain.

It’s like if you looked at a The Best Dance Album in the World… Ever! CD and you could actually go inside the artwork. There’s smth extremely nostalgic there for me that makes me really really like Beast Machines and forgive a LOT of the things that other people dislike about it’s overall style — But I do think it was a slog to get through. Way too many fights that felt pointless and interrupted the flow of the show, music started to get really repetitive, some decent character development here and there but too much bullshit that doesn’t go anywhere. Some characters were introduced way too late to mean anything to me, and some characters just felt completely discarded and underused. The environments also started to really get sore on the eyes, same with a lot of the action effects.

But I’m not MAD at Beast Machines. I cared more about Blackarachnia in this show than I ever did in Beast Wars — in fact, I cared more about RATTRAP in this show than I ever did in Beast Wars. And if you guys haven’t been keeping up, I’m Rattrap’s number one hater. Cheetor and Optimus were pissing me the fuck off, but the closer I got to the end and the more they got their shit together the more I could respect their decision making. Nightscream was a really fun character who I wish had more depth. Rhinox disappointed me badly, I can fully get why people were insanely pissed about Rhinox, because I’m also pissed about it. I got over the alt-modes pretty quickly, and the Beast Modes all kicked ass, so I don’t have anything negative there. I do think occasionally showing us Beast Wars models didn’t help though, seeing Season 1 Cheetor for 12 frames was like a hit of heroin.

It could’ve been a lot worse. I get why people hated it, but I can also see why there are people who love it. I’ll probably go back to it the next time I have edibles in my possession.

Attack on Prime Autobot Anthology: Sixth Sense

Main Story

Mikasa Ackerman

Wheeljack’s Perspective

A New Identity

"So why did Hanji call both of us here again?" Arcee demanded as she stepped out of the Jackhammer. They had just arrived at Hanji's outdoor office, full of equipment, 3D gear, and damaged tree trunks, "You're the one who does the experiments with them."

"Commander wanted to test something new and they said that they had to 'put a pin in'," Wheeljack explained.

"Let go of me!" Someone screamed at the top of their lungs. They looked over to see Hanji dragging the first human that they met on this world: Sasha. She was being dragged to the site by the waist, desperately trying to break free.

"I need your help because you have a similar gift to Mike, and I want to analyze it!" Hanji proclaimed.

"Is this what Eren goes through?!" Sasha demanded.

"You also owe us for keeping Wheeljack and Arcee a secret-!" Hanji noticed Wheeljack and Arcee staring in surprise, "Hi!"

"Hanji, I thought this was important," Arcee said.

"It is!" Hanji plopped Sasha right in front of them before gesturing to her, "This is Sasha Blause!"

"Heeeeyyy...," Sasha dragged out as she gave a small wave.

"Right, you said that you wouldn't tell anyone about us," Wheeljack recalled.

"Which I am still mad about." Hanji poked Sasha in the cheek, "But that's not why I brought her here! See, Sasha has a tremendous sixth sense, that for some reason, is able to pick up on Cybertronians like you guys!"

Arcee looked perplexed at the notion, but Wheeljack was curious.

"Really?" Wheeljack asked them.

"Yeah!" Hanji exclaimed, "That's how she was able to know you were here in the first place."

"I don't like this!" Sasha exclaimed.

"We are not going to run severe experiments," Hanji reassured, "I want to see how far your sixth sense can reach."

"It can reach over walls! Can I go?!" Sasha practically begged.

"Wait, what do you mean walls?" Arcee asked.

Sasha sighed in response. "When Wall Rose was breached, I...sensed what I later learned was Buckethead. And apparently, he was in Wall Maria or somewhere farther along while I was in Wall Rose."

"That's interesting," Wheeljack commented as he squatted down, "What'd you sense?"

Sasha's face turned into a grimace. "Chaos. It felt so...toxic. It was dark energy, like...if I feel like a dangerous predator is watching me, waiting to strike."

"Well, that's one way to describe Megatron," Arcee proclaimed.

"Yeah, and for some reason, I could tell that it was from his chest," Sasha added.

"His chest?" Wheeljack asked, earning a nod from Sasha.

"That's where he jammed dark energon into his spark," Arcee explained, "I guess he still has it in there. Explains why Optimus is questioning if killing him would be the worse option."

"Oh, can you do me?" Wheeljack couldn't help but ask as he pointed to himself, "What do you sense when I'm near?"

Sasha thought it over for a moment. "Gunpowder, or oil. Sometimes it even smells like fire."

"You keep blowing everything up, of course the stench of your grenades will keep following you," Arcee teased.

"Arcee?" Wheeljack pointed to his partner.

Sasha thought it over. "Metal. Like the metal I would taste in my own blood."

"The blood of your enemies, 'Cee," Wheeljack grinned at her.

Arcee rolled her optics in response. "I guess even if I wash the energon from my blades, the smell is still there."

Arcee shook her helm at that, not wanting to go deeper than she needed to, but an idea sprung into her processors. "What about Optimus? What do you sense in him?"

"Um..." Sasha looked over at Hanji, but they merely gestured for her to explain, "Pure energy? Like...clear, water from a stream, or a clear, blue, sky untouched by clouds. I...also sensed it from his chest."

Arcee and Wheeljack quickly spared glances at each other, thinking the same thing. Was it the Matrix of Leadership? Like the actual Matrix? But the Matrix could be a fake. There have been copies of it made in the past, but the Matrix was a powerful artifact. Still, going off of the senses of one girl without concrete evidence wasn't a good idea.

"So, have you encountered something like this?" Hanji asked them.

"Well, no," Arcee answered, causing Hanji to hang their head in defeat, "At least not like this."

"I'm listening." Hanji raised their head.

"We had a few human allies on Earth," Arcee explained, "One of them, despite not even knowing what our language was, was able to understand one of our comrades using a binary code because his voice box was damaged."

Hanji gasped. "A disabled Cybertronian! Oh that's so interesting! But how was he able to understand him?"

"We don't know," Arcee admitted, "Raf was never really able to explain it to us, but we just assumed that it was because of his affinity for technology and data. It was really weird for him to even know that, considering how young he was."

"Hm," Hanji hummed as they wrote this information down, "Well I do hope to meet this 'Raf' so I can ask him my own questions. But for now!"

Sasha yelped as Hanji slammed their hands on her shoulders. "Let's run some experiments!"

"No!" Sasha warned.

"They're harmless!" Hanji reassured before pointing behind Wheeljack, "Stand over there!"

"Okay, Commandant!" Wheeljack waved as he walked over to the spot Hanji pointed to. Arcee looked up to the sky for a moment. She couldn't help but wonder how the humans were doing right now.

On Earth

Rafael was looking at the fabric of one of the MECH suits the US government managed to acquire from their last known location. He didn't like the idea that they came from corpses, but maybe the teen was just more offput by the fact that their own leader betrayed them in cold blood after they did everything to revive him. The orange-haired seventeen-year-old rolled up the sleeves of his lab coat and jotted some notes down regarding the material. Kevlar, Aramid, Twaron, he even managed to pick up Cybertronian metals woven into the fabric. He couldn't help but be impressed with the former organization's work. The material was heat-resistant and bullet proof to a good portion of the weapons on Earth.

Rafael raised his head from the microscope before mindlessly grabbing his coffee mug and drinking the contents in a few gulps.

"How's analysis coming?" Jack asked him as the twenty one-year-old walked into his work space.

"It's coming," Rafael answered, "MECH probably made some of the best armor money could buy."

"Or steal," Jack quipped as he sat down in another chair and rolled over next to his friend, "Are you going to try and recreate it?"

"That's the plan," Rafael answered as he looked back under the microscope, "And since Cybertron's a bridge away, we can get even better materials to make it stronger."

"That's good," Jack nodded before looking at the fabric, "Just don't make it green."

"Miko's going to be upset about that," Rafael commented.

"Yeah, well I don't want to be reminded of MECH when I put it on," Jack declared, "When you're done, come eat dinner okay? I know you care about this, but you need to enjoy being a teen."

"I'll be over, just let me focus," Rafael reassured.

(More bonding between Sasha, Arcee, and Wheeljack, and we get to see a glimpse of what's been happening on Earth. This isn't the first time I've peeked over at Earth. I did it in the one shots, but it was still fun.)

Mad Magnus AU: Revamp

So you all vaguely remember that TFA AU I cooked up and inspired from this Fanfic?

Welp! I decided to revamp it a bit, many things will remain the same but there are some things I will be switching up.

Things that are staying the same:

Sentinel’s Death Optimus’s near death experience and trauma

Megatron’s slow and gradual discomfort and disgust towards The Magnus’s Insanity as well as his actions forward causing Megatron to bow out and team up with Optimus to kill Ultra Magnus

The creation of En-sane, the laughing gas Substance that Ultra Magnus had created to force others to descend into madness with him. Only those with a strong enough will and don’t inhale the mind altering substance are likely to resist it (Ratchet is still working on a cure) doesn’t mean one still cannot be affected by it

Rodimus being brainwashed into serving alongside the Mad Magnus (bc traumatizing Rodimus is just as fun as traumatizing Optimus)

There are still gonna be three different endings to this AU because I am just that kind of person. For those who don’t know for this AU there is a Good, Bad, and Worse Ending to this AU. The Good one is the Canon one but the other two are just for Fun~! I’ll explain in a another post another time

ShockBlurr will still exist along with a few other ships

Some of my OCs while they will not be completely apart of the main story they will be around and you all will get to learn about them

Things that will be changed:

Originally when I cooked this up I added Sari into the story but I’m deciding to cut her for this story BUT she is aware of the situation while on Earth helping her dad

No MegOp. I did the first time be I love my OTP but it did mesh well with the plot the more I thought about it but y’all are more than welcome to still ship it but instead Optimus and Megatron have a chaotic friendship instead where they both just exist (though I am considering throwing some good ol’ fashioned Kilotron/KiloMegs in this AU)

Ultra Magnus being a creep about Optimus… I just couldn’t write that. It felt gross which was the point but it didn’t work so I’m cutting that out with a Battle Axe but instead! Magnus harbors a deep guilt for killing Optimus and he’s haunted by that throughout the rest of the story

Alpha Trion dying. It was gonna cut this anyway before I decided to revamp everything else but still wanted to add this in if someone was wondering if he does die

That’s all for now folks! I’ll update you all on the AU again whenever it hits me to

[flipping-the-coin]

for 𝙳𝚘𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 𝙵𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝 𝙰𝚒𝚍 how do you feel about the whole Orion situation? And I wanted to thank you for eliminating the excess pills that Ratchet gave Orion since I really don't trust him to take care of Orion. I'm sorry if we're careless I could kill him.

𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚂𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛: 𝙳𝚘𝚌. 𝙵𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝 𝙰𝚒𝚍

━━▲━━

I'm afraid I didn't quite understand your last sentence. But I was more than happy to help! Doctor Ratchet can be a bit jittery at times and sometimes forgets to count the pills properly! It really isn't any bother on my end! He gets a little lost in his mind, and I am more than happy to fix such a minor mistake. Please don't speak too harshly of my mentor. He's... unstable. He's been through a lot and I genuinely think he just needs to process everything he's been through. The amount of work he takes on is mind blowing. I honestly believe its going to kill him if he isn't careful.

About Mr. Pax...

I don't know if I am qualified to talk about it. I'm just an assisting Doctor, I'm not meant to have an opinion on the matter. Besides, I think Doctor Ratchet would be a bit upset...

He never reads old medical files. Why would he read this?

I don't think I will get in trouble for answering this question. If you want my real thoughts on the subject, then I guess I am just concerned for everyone involved. Obviously Mr. Pax has seen a lot of terrible things and experienced horrors I can't even begin to imagine. He's not one to talk about it a lot when I visit him for tea with Miss Melody. I don't know everything, but what I do know scares me.

He was locked away within Optimus Prime during the entirety of the war. He felt everything. He saw everything. He had no control. I... I can hardly comprehend that. Being trapped in your own frame with no way out? No way to have even the smallest semblance of control? I would have gone mad. It pleases and surprises me to see him come back to himself so fast. By all accounts, recovering from severe trauma like that in twenty vorns in a miracle. I am not exactly fond of Megatron, but he is a good Conjunx for Mr. Pax. They are happy together. They deserve it after all that has happened. The war is over, and think its best if what happened during it is allowed to become history, not a weight on the present.

Mr. Pax is healing... but my mentor is not. Doctor Ratchet seems to be actively trying to make Mr. Pax's life worse. I've listened to my mentor ramble on and on for groons. He seems to have warped the figure of Orion Pax into a whole new person. He refers to Orion Pax as his friend, a precious thing to protect. Then the very next moment he uses strange glyphs and snarls as if Mr. Pax were there threatening him at gunpoint. Doctor Ratchet seems terrified of Orion Pax. I can't claim to pinpoint why, but his aggressive reaction is laced with fear whenever I am close enough to feel his field.

Doctor Ratchet is getting worse and Orion Pax is getting better. I've tried to get my mentor to assign me to Mr. Pax, but at this point he's made Mr. Pax into a pet project of sorts. He hates him. He fears him. He wants to keep him safe and destroy him all at the same time.

Orion Pax is healing.

Ratchet is breaking down.

I am doing what I can to help and make things right, but I can only do so much. I follow Ratchet whenever I can manage it and I try to stay with him overnight when he's upset, that way he can't do anything rash. Part of me wants to report him, but I can't exactly report him for things he's written, no matter how... disturbing. I would much rather he get his murderous thoughts out on a document than act on them.

I just wish everyone could get better.
