What do you think of a TFA AU where Megatron and Starscream are Sari's true parents? XD

No, thank you... Sari would have so many issues if that happened! ^^;

How about instead an AU where Starscream faked his death during the Cybertron War, travels the galaxy and eventually ends up on Earth before the Autobots did...

Starscream give himself a different name, creates a holoform then meets/befriends Professor Sumdac and helps the genius create his robot company, using Megatron's comatose head...

Starscream's holoform would later becomes Sari's uncle...

Total ownage noob!

In transformers,

What are sparklings? Are they like robot babies?

YES!

They are a mostly fan concept however. Hasbro has been cowards and unfortunately haven't realized how good an idea it is.

Mostly cuz that opens the floodgates of robot pregnancy I assume.

With that said, IDW comics does touch on the concept as far as I understand, regarding protoforms where they start out like lil marshmallows, then grow into their basic robot forms.

I think that protoform is a scraplet, but I'm not terribly familiar with IDW continuity so take that with a grain of salt.

In TFA, Sari can technically count as one.

Prof. Sumdac found her as a lil protoform that somehow ended up in his lab and after touching her, she somehow absorbed his DNA and became humanlike.

We probably would have GOTTEN MORE INFO IN SEASON 4 ABOUT HER ORIGINS BUT WE DIDN'T GET SEASON 4!!

Personally, I love the idea that they start off as lil squishy marshmallow blobs, developing arms n legs later on as they develop, along with more rigid structures.

And I think sparklings could be one of the reasons why Cybertronian altforms' tend to have this conveniently open space in them that you can access. They can get carried around like how marsupial do

Also we can't forget the biggest contribution to Sparkling Ideas, the KOBD child - Wildbreak.

He had so many similar traits to the gay cat husbands that fans just took the idea he was their kid and RAN.

(old drawing of mine of KOBD family feat. sparklings Wildbreak and Override)

I don't draw KOBD family as much as I should, I apologize for that.

Transformers All-Sparks: Nevada Friendlies

Fleshing out the other human cast to compliment the main ones, featuring some folk from many segments of the franchise!

The AU from the human side mostly begins in Jasper, Nevada, and much of the action starts in the state.

Miko and Raf are Jack's best friends. They're basically exactly the same as their TFP counterparts personality wise. Miko's a bit bummed that Jack spends a bit less time with them now that he has a girlfriend, but hey, at least he's happy!

Lori Jiminez and Coby Hansen are members of the school's workshop class, and originally came from Colorado. They bicker a lot (usually it's Lori getting flabbergasted by Coby's antics), but they truly love each other deep down. Based off, of course, Lori and Coby from Transformers: Cybertron.

Close by is Mission City, a bustling metropolis that has become one of THE places to go to pursue a career in engineering and energy.

Mission City University features such minds like Prof. Arkeville and Doctor Malto. Visiting the campus is Dr. Ezra Greene, eccentric scientist from an island called Griffin Rock.

Prof. Arkeville is a brilliant if out there man of SCIENCE. He's a master of neurology among other sciences, and thoroughly believes the validity of hypnosis technology. Has a genuine Sumdac Systems prosthetic arm.

Dr. Malto teaches culture, history and other anthropological subjects in the University. He loves nothing more than sharing the importance of passing down culture from generation to generation. Is a fantastic cook.

Dr. Ezra Greene travels America in his iconic solar car to teach the nation about SCIENCE and all the wonders of science, with Mission City being one of his stops. Has a show produced, directed, written and recorded by himself. Wows and terrifies people with some of his zanier experiments.

Sgt. Robert Epps, MCPD, is an Army veteran and man of determination and courage. He's an example of an everyday soldier engaged in a firefight vs. Cobra... and won. Now serving as an officer in Mission City's police department. He keeps other cops in line, making sure they remember that they protect and serve first and foremost.

Alexis Thi Dang. Government Intern. She aims to be hopefully be president one day, but first wants to get an understanding of local politics before aiming higher. Has a bit of a problem with her own ego due to her ambitions, but at the same time, is always trying and hoping to find the good in others.

Spike and Sparkplug Witwicky. Sparkplug is the de facto patriarch of the great Witwicky clan, and a man who has considerable knowhow in all things engineering and maintainence, from cars to buildings. Spike is Sparkplug's son, and a guy who inherited all of Sparkplug's engineering smarts and then some. Good natured and a loyal friend through and through.

Mikaela Banes, Alice and Sam Witwicky: A group of University students that stick together almost like glue. Mikaela is a car enthusiast who've made it mostly on her own after a rough childhood. The most confident of the group, and de facto leader. Alice is an everygirl who's studying history in Mission City U. She's just trying to do her best and not get into trouble. Sam Witwicky is the goofiest member of a the great Witwicky clan. Sparkplug set him straight to not be a try-hard. Being a goofy dude is a-okay, being a good person matters more.

Thinking about making a Transformers Animated AU where Megatron loses his memories in the 50 years he's trapped in the Sumdac labs

He wakes up confused and completely lost, no idea who or what he is. Prof. Sumdac is the first one there when he wakes up and explains everything to him (from his knowledge, ofc). He paints the Autobots out to be Megatron's friends and brings them in to see him.

Obviously, there's a lot of anger and mistrust from them, feeling Prof. Sumdac had lied to them. They realize Megatron has completely lost his memories, however, and decide to pry him for any possible hidden information he has. When they find nothing, realizing he has completely lost EVERYTHING, they decide to go through with rebuilding him and keep him under their watch.

This means keeping him away from the other Decepticons. If they see him and recognize him, it could ruin everything. While Megatron may have lost his memories, they're scared of the other Cons jogging his processor and bringing them back

Megatron isn't allowed to go on missions with the Autobots, instead being Prof. Sumdac's assistant in his lab to help with Cybertronian technology.

Bonus that Megatron is able to go out a few times and once runs into a Decepticon, who recognizes him and is confused as to why he's stuck with the Autobots. Megatron, of course, is confused as well. Cue the angst

Yes this would mean I'd have to rewrite basically the whole show HOWEVER thats okay bc I don't want Starscream and Prowl dying anyways (and I think Starscream should get the chance to properly rule the Decepticons)

[the-derpy-duck]

Currently in my TFA long rant era don’t mind me.

The guy who took over Sumdac’s business: Dipshit

The Headmaster: Fuckface

So. The headmaster guy who is working with the guy who replaced prof. Sumdac piss me off because of one single thing they did. To get out of being arrested, the guy who is running Sumdac’s business pressures Fanzone so he won’t arrest the headmaster. Every argument made is invalid (legally) solely on the basis that the police don’t need to tell you why your being arrested in America, you can’t be held for more than three days without being told why you were arrested. So when Dipshit argues with Fanzone about why Fuckface can’t be arrested it’s invalid because he isn’t a person who would have any authority on that and Fanzone is not legally obligated to provide an explanation. If or not that should be allowed is a different question, I think if you get arrested you should know WHY you are being arrested but I’m also 18 and an idiot.

Anyway, Dipshit’s main argument as to why Fuckface cannot be arrested is “he was in international waters between America and Canada.” and that he didn’t steal the boat he was on because it had been out of commission for years and was just sort of there. Ok. You just fucked yourself but fine. First off, international water is not a lawless zone. Their is international laws (war crimes, for example) and the laws of the sea have been around since we’ve been able to sail. You MUST fly a flag of a nation on your vessel if you’re in international waters, that flag would need to be the flag of the nation that the ship is registered in. This has been around since at least the 1800s. An American ship lost its flag and was docked in the Netherlands, because the ship couldn’t leave without the flag (I think it may of had something to do with pirates but I could be wrong) the Dutch re a,de the American flag from a description. Although it might not of been an official law or a law of the same name, it was still a rule that was enforced. This is not a new thing. I do not recall seeing an American flag on that ship. Also Fuckface would have been sailing a decommissioned ship that was not up to standards and he definitely doesn’t have the correct certifications to be sailing it. But that’s a bit bit picky and it’s not even the worst part of the argument.

Dear reader, assuming anyone reads this, I would like you to find a map, or a globe. Please find North America and find where America and Canada are. TFA is set in Detroit, Michigan. So the body of water would have to be a Great Lake. Please, turn your attention to that fact that the border between the USA and Canada is a FUCKING LINE. International waters are at least 200 miles out from the shore of the nation, the border between the US and Canada is similar to that of the border between Tennessee and Georgia. That is to say, it’s really fucking thin and was decided on by a line. International waters between America and Canada do not exist in the Great Lakes, you are either in America or you are in Canada. If Fuckface was in Canada then he just illegally crossed a border and was carrying technology, the purpose of this tech is explicitly stated to be for war. So he’s potentially sending technology to terrorist that are based in the country that is arguably America’s closest ally and the country that we trade the most with (some graphs say it’s China, it’s not. We trade the most with Canada.). So not only has Dipshit admitted that Fuckface illegally transporting military grade weapons to our ally, he also admits that Fuckface is a major security threat and potentially a terrorist who is plotting to overthrow the Canadian government. Is that a stretch? Absolutely. But they tell you “anything you say can and will be used against you” for a fucking reason. It is your constitutional right to shut the fuck up and not incriminate yourself. This is no longer a DPD issue, it’s now gonna either be handled by the CIA or FBI and probably the government of Canada. Do you understand the damage that could be done if our biggest trade partner became aware that we let someone who everyone has reasons to believe was transporting weapons illegally go without any sort of push back? It’s one person but that could majorly damage our working relationship with Canada and other countries because it would be international news. We are in a trade agreement with Canada and Mexico that is very good for us. We don’t want to jeopardize that. I don’t think you understand how this could impact our foreign trade. Regardless it’ll make America look incompetent and also an easy target for security breaches.

Fanazon had a good reason to arrest Fuckface, he had multiple ones. Fuckface should have been arrested and then he could finally stop showing up. I hate him and I hate the episodes he’s in because he’s in them. Fuck you headmaster >:(

TFA: How to fix Season 3 SARI SUMDAC…

*At the end of TFA Season 2, Sari Sumdac and her father finally reunite and hug… Professor Sumdac apologizes for letting Megatron trick him into helping him, while the Autobots apologize for bringing Megatron to Earth in the first place… All is forgiven on Earth, meanwhile in space Megatron and Starscream are floating in space, with nothing better to do but argue with each other…

*In Season 3, years have already passed, Sari is now 16 and she finally has some friends.

*Sari Sumdac doesn’t later become a Cyborg, instead she gains Battle Armor created by her genius father and Ratchet, which did energy hand-blasts and a force-field and super-speed skates.

*However, the armor’s powers keep deactivating whenever Sari uses them too much.

*When the Alien Rock Creature appears in Detroit, Optimus Prime doesn’t let Sari join the Team yet, cause Ratchet and Prof. Sumdac need to fix Sari’s armor.

*Instead of waiting for the others to upgrade her armor, she decides to upgrade it herself, by using her Allspark Key.

*And it works at first, with Sari using her armor to defeat the creature and save Bumblebee.

*However, she quickly loses control over her Allspark-Upgraded Armor, which causes her to almost destroy Bee and the city.

*The Key couldn’t be removed from her armor, so Ratchet had to save Bee without it.

*Ratchet uses his EMP Generator on Sari’s armor, which turns it off, but doesn’t knock Sari out (since she’s organic, it only gives her a headache).

*Ratchet gets the armor off of Sari, as well as removing the Key (which still works) from the armor.

*Sari feels super guilty over what happened, especially with Ratchet and Optimus scolding her.

*Her father visits the Autobot Base to comfort her, and Sari apologizes to Bee.

*When Megatron and Starscream’s head return with Omega Supreme, Sari willingly gives the Key to Optimus, feeling too guilty to join the battle.

*Somehow the Key ends up near Starscream, who decides to destroy the Key to spite both Megatron and the Autobots.

*Even though the Autobots win, the Key was still lost.

*When Sari learns about this, she doesn’t blame the Autobots and believes that Starscream probably would’ve destroyed her as well, if she joined them in the battle.

*She’s happy that everyone’s alive.

~~~

*However, Sari and her armor get a second chance later on, when Soundwave tries to brainwash the Autobots.

*She still gets her scooter/jetpack from her father.

*Soundwave’s hypnotic music doesn’t affect Sari, because she stuffs her ears with tissues and does the same thing to Prof. Sumdac. (It’s what a guy did to be immune to Soundwave’s music in G1.)

*Sari and Prof. Sumdac convince all the Dinobots to help them, by telling them that if Soundwave wins, all nature will be destroyed (and the Dinobots love nature).

*The Sumdacs also gets the Constructicons and Wreck-Gar in their side.

*Basically, father and daughter save the heroes and the day.

~~~

*Sari helps Prof. Sumdac and Bulkhead with the spacebridges (but she doesn’t magically become better than them).

*Sari also helps Ratchet restore Arcee’s memories, by suggesting using the EMP Generator on Arcee again.

*When Bee and Bulkhead show Sari what protoforms look like, Sari thinks it’s weird that all Autobots are basically born as adults.

*When Prowl sacrifices his spark for the Allspark and his Autobot Team, it’s a truly bittersweet victory.

*Sari Sumdac later pretends to be an Autobot named ‘Sunny’ (by keeping her armor’s helmet and mask on), so she can join the Autobot Academy with Bee and Bulkhead! 🧡💛💙 

[unwinni3]

Hear me out: Platonic Sibling Sari and Fixit.

I have no idea why, but they feel like they'd go perfectly together to me. Two little orange guys, both able to switch between yapper and listener, and both with weaponry they didn't even know they had until after hurting their teammate (s).

Also, imagine Sari just slamming some papers down on Prof. Sumdac's desk. "I NEED A LITTLE BROTHER AND I FOUND THE PERFECT ONE CAN WE ADOPT HIM PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" I imagine her yelling, Fixit trailing behind.

I need more fanart and fanfics for this, so there's my motivation to learn anatomy :)

[brandwhorestarscream]

TFA Starscream makes an aerie on Sumdac Tower. He's chill with Prof Sumdac, being scientists and all that. Also acts as a bodyguard of sorts, because Powell is Sumdac family's enemies, and because he's a threat to his host's home, then he's technically his threat too.

Jetfire and Jetstorm are also there. They're being raised by the rest of the Seekers with Skyfire.

Is this mesnt to be for the Invasive species au? Cuz that's all I can think of

Assuming so, Starscream doesn’t like anyone messing with his tower or disturbing his aerie. He can't be hecked to get terribly personal with the organics, but he would 100% side eye Powell if he started causing a ruckus. Would punt him over the horizon if his bullshit woke the sparklings or interrupted the aerie's little rituals

Also 🥺 big yes to the jet twins being there! Raised by mama star and all of their extended family and Skyfire too for good measure. They flourish and blossom so wonderfully, fed on neverending love and support. They're taught to fly and actually get to have visible wings and I'm very proud of them. Starscream is too. Look at how wonderful his offspring are!

[designationpinknoise]

Two days into Prof. Sumdac’s capture by the decepticons and he just witnessed Blitzwing *random* pretending to be El Ka-bong, Just bash Starscream over the head with a giant neon guitar sign he stole from Las Vegas.

Lugnut: (to Prof. Sumdac) Blitzwing had what you organics call a stroke a few years ago...

Megatron: He didn’t really, we just say that to explain his...personalities.

Blitzwing 💫: zhe peanut iz neizher a pea nor a nut!

*awkward silence*

Lugnut: (to Sumdac) So...you’re a human?

Blizwing 🥶: Vait... it iz a nut!

[jewelofgems]

Prof. Sumdac: I have something to tell you Sari. Before everyone starts to punch each other.

Sari: What is it?

Prof. Sumdac: It’s about time I tell you about your mother.

Bumblebee, whispering: She has a mom?

Prowl: *shrugs*

Starscream: What’s happening?

Prof. Sumdac: Your mother, my dear, is technically him.

*Pans over to Megatron*

Megatron: Wait what?

Everyone: . . .

Autobots: WHAT?!

Decepticons: HUH?!

Megatron: Excuse me?

Sari:

Sari: Dad… just.. why???

Prof. Sumdac: Uhm… For life?

Megatron: Retreat! I need to rethink things.

Blitzwing: What just happened?

Lugnut: *shrugs*

Bumblebee: Uhm… Congratulations?

Sari: *Unholy screeching*

[autobots-and-their-crazy-kids]

What if TFA Starscream joined the Autobots and the Autobots say racist things about Decepticons (whom most are actually a different race in TFA) to the people of Cybertron:

Starscream: I think all of you said plenty.

Optimus: What do you mean?

Starscream: Clearly there's a certain component? That these Decepticons may be reverting back to their primitive savage ways? Are you serious?

Ratchet: We just stated the facts of the war! I mean, its not like an Autobot can go savage.

Starscream: Right. But an Ex-Con could, huh?

Bumblebee: Star, stop it! You're not like them!

Starscream: Oh, so there's a them now?

Bumblebee: You know what I mean! You're not that kind of bot!

Starscream: The kind that needs to be imprisoned? The kind that makes you believe that you need to create 'Anti Seeker Weapons'? Yeah, don't think I didn't notice those little items you've been hiding, Ratchet.

Ratchet: ...

Starscream: So let me ask you all a question; Are you afraid of me?

Autobots, Prof Sumdac and Sari: ...

Starscream: Do you think I might go nuts? You think I might go savage? You think that I might try to... ATTACK YOU?

[The Autobots jump back and reveal their weapons on reflex...]

Starscream: ...I knew it. Just when I thought someone actually believed in me... Probably best if you don't have someone like me as a teammate.

The Masked Decepticon

Previous

Chapter 11: Double Agent

"Agent Blurr?"

"Yes, sir?"

"I have a mission for you. Ultra Magnus wants you to go to Earth and find as much prove of the Decepticons as possible. However, don't reveal yourself to the Autobot team there."

"Findproveandstayoutofsight- got it!"

"And, Blurr?"

"Yes?"

"Come back safe, alright?" say the mech siting behind the desk. Blurr smiled and nodded, before disappearing to do his mission.

Longarm stared at the empty doorway and ex-vented. As much as he loves the blue speedster... He, too have a mission to complete.

Shockwave really wished that he doesn't need to offline somebot he likes.

Xxx

On Earth, Blurr is driving around the streets. He was driving slowly, as the streets are still slippery from the sudden winter a few days ago. He was ready to head back to recharge for the night, when a flashy red car drove past him.

"Wha-? Now, that's rude!"

As much of a spy Blurr is, the code to race and win is too deeply encrypted in his Spark. And so, when faced with a challenge of speed he will accept.

The blue spy manages to reach the other car. In front of them is a narrow tunnel that can only fit one vehicle. And Blurr know that whoever reaches it first wins. His engines roar as he manages to cut the car and enter the tunnel first.

"Hah! I win! Suck it- whoa, what the heck!!?"

The car veered to the right, and uses the tunnel's curved walls to cut right in front of Blurr. And so, Blurr lost to the strange red car.

The car sharply turned to a corner, and Blurr chased after it. However, he came to a dead end. The road ends with a wire gate, still intact, with some wooden crates behind it.

With no one in sight, Blurr transformed back into his Cybertronian form and looks around in confusion. How did that car dissappear?

The spy shivered at the thought of a haunted car. He looks at the wire gate and turned back, "Alright... You win... Whoever you are."

He transforms back into vehicle form and drove off, not noticing a pair of green optics watching the speedster as he leaves.

"... I need to tell Bossbot,"

Xxx

"An Autobot on Earth?" Optimus asked that morning.

Bumblebee nods his, recalling the events of last night. Blitzwing and Lugnut are also there, as per usual, along with Starscream and Skyfire.

"I've been patrolling as Stinger, when I saw a blue car. I cut him, but he chase me and then we raced. I turned left and then I heard a transformation sound and saw that it was an Autobot!"

"I don't understand. What's an Autobot doing here on Earth? Does Ultra Magnus know about it?" Prowl asked as he tried to pry the remote control from Blitzwing's grip.

"Maybe a spy. He's probably here under the Ultra Magnus' orders to find out about Decepticon activity," Starscream guessed.

CRASH!

Everyone whipped their helms towards the noise and saw Blitzwing on his back, Random face laughing as Prowl is trapped underneath his massive figure, "HAHAHA! Now you're both trapped!"

"Blitzwing, get off of me. You're heavy!"

Optimus sighed, and looks at the photo. Since Lugnut, Blitzwing and Starscream had been on their side (or was it them whose on the Decepticon's side?), there hadn't been much problems except for some human criminals, Powell and Masterson, the team are still trying to find where Megatron and Prof Sumdac whereabouts. Furthermore, they also gained another ally, Skyfire, who is also Starscream's sparkmate who was trapped in ice 2 million years ago.

Optimus was relieved that Skyfire is adjusting well to his new situation, even excited to learn more about Earth and its cultures. However, he was very disturbed when he found out about the war and Starscream being in it. As a result, Skyfire is never far from Starscream, always nearby as if scared he'll be taken away.

The Prime also told Skyfire about his whole plan, and identity. After Ratchet almost had a spark attack, the shuttle was surprisingly cooperative enough to go on with the plan.

"Let's search for this Autobot spy tonight. I have some plans to deal with them," Optimus looks at Bumblebee and Prowl, "Bumblebee, Prowl, you're with me. Lugnut, Blitzwing and Starscream, stay away from the city for the time being. There's a mine shaft nearby you can use as base,"

"Alright!" cheered Bumblebee.

When Bumblebee activate his disguise, his yellow paint changes into red, and he now has a permanent mask with green optics. Stinger activates his weapon, which is now also green.

Optimus cleared his throat, "Tonight, Bumblebee. Not right now. Turn back,"

Stinger chuckled sheepishly. He deactivates his disguise and turn back into Bumblebee.

Xxx

Back at Cybertron, Longarm is trying to find out about Dark Convoy. But despite his best efforts in diving deep inside the Autobots' files, he found nothing.

There was no date of onlining, no records or proof whatsoever that Dark Convoy had ever existed. It was as if he suddenly popped out of nowhere and beaten Optimus Prime for the place as the leader of the Decepticons.

But then, that designation itself might be fake. When he heard the announcement a couple weeks ago, Longarm couldn't help but felt as if he'd heard it before. A trip down a memory lane finally gave him the results he wanted, but not expected.

'Dark Convoy' was a character in one of Megatron's old stories. A story so old, it was written when the Decepticons didn't even exist, when Megatron could still call himself Megatronus... When Orion Pax was still online and well.

It was a story of a mech born in Autobot society, but fought against what he was born to believe when he see the suffering that bots had to go through.

Longarm felt silly for thinking that a fictional character could even exists in the real world, but his processor was still thinking of one thing. It just didn't add up.

'Dark Convoy' was the one and only story that Megatron had never published. It had never been made into a copy, so there are only one of it in existence. The warlord used to publish his work under anonymous designation, as he would get in trouble if a low-class frame were to be found out learned to read.

The only ones who knew of its existence are a select few Decepticons. So either whoever the mech was stumbled upon a copy of it, or it is just a mere coincidence. It's most probably be the latter of the two.

Xxx

Dark Convoy parked himself on the empty parking lot. He could see a blue sports car from his side mirror. He had some plans for the spy, but they needed to them first.

Unfortunately, it took Convoy an embarrassingly amount of time to realise that the spy already knew. After all, he did have the Decepticon logo plastered on the side of his altmode.

The spy drove off in a hurry, and Convoy contacted Stinger and Barricade, "He's on the move, follow him!"

Stinger chase after the spy, while Barricade was trailing behind from the rooftops, getting ready to throw his blades and puncture the spy's tire when told.

After a couple minutes of a game of cat and mouse, Convoy and Stinger had managed to trap the spy. Barricade throws his blades towards spy's tires, and the blue car swerves around before transforming into his robot mode.

Stinger puts a stasis cuff on Blurr's servos, while Barricade covered the speedster's optics with a piece of cloth, "Hey! Let go off me! This is kidnapping, you know!"

"Yeah, yeah. We know. Now stop moving," say Stinger. Never in his online period does he ever expected that Optimus' plan for the spy was a straight up kidnapping.

Xxx

Blurr flinched when he felt the light hitting his optics. He resetted it a few times, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness and saw Optimus. Oh, first day and he had been found.

"Are you alright?"

"Oh, I'm fine. Where am I?"

"You're at our base. And we have some questions for you, Blurr,"

The blue mech's optics widened, "Wha- how didyouknowmyname!?"

"We got some inside info. Apparently, Ultra Magnus sent you here to watch for Decepticon activities, correct?"

"How did you know that? That was top-secret - Urk!" the mech quickly shut his intake, but the damage was done.

"Is there anything else?"

Blurr waited for a moment and shook his helm, "That's all. It's supposed to be an undercover mission, but... I guess I failed,"

Optimus nodded, "Good. Now, Blurr, I have something that I need to tell you. And as an Autobot, I'm hoping you can keep this a secret,"

The blue mech furrowed an optic ridge, confused.

Suddenly, he could hear the sound of transformation. But not the standard one. Instead of going from robot mode to altmode, Optimus transformed into a large Decepticon with black paintjob.

Optimus was a Decepticon.

"WhatinthenameofPrimus'holyearth!!?" Blurr yelled.

"Alright, calm down. I'm going to explain everything to you," said Convoy. Blurr could only gulped. He had been captured by a Decepticon first day on his mission. Way to go, Blurr.

"When I defeated Megatron 50 years ago, I was made their leader. I want to avoid war, but I know that if my status as the Decepticon's new lead the High Council might use me to gain an upper hand, or challenge me in combat to gain the title," Convoy started.

"Wait. So Optimus and Dark Convoy are one and the same?"

"Yes. I want to avoid war, but at the same time I saw the suffering of other bots. Far-off colonies that the Autobots had abandoned, bots who doesn't fit the Autobots' standards of civillian frames, many forget that warframes and Decepticons are Cybertronians, too,"

Convoy knelt, looking at Blurr at eye level, "I want to reform the Decepticons, back to the way they were. But I can't do it if the Elite Guards are after me. Megatron himself is hard to deal with,"

Blurr tried to wrap his processor around what Convoy had said. It's true, many of the High Council has strict rules of what can or can't be done. However, there are bots who are simply sparked outside of the standard laws. Like himself.

"... No, I'm not going to defect,"

"... Blurr. I'm not going to ask you to defect. I'm asking you not to give out any info that might put my teammates' lives in danger,"

"Oh... That, I can do, I guess,"

Convoy smiled under his mask, "Good. Oh, let me take those off,"

Blurr shook his servos, it was starting to get numb after a while.

"You know, I half expected you to run after I let you go," said Convoy.

"I don't think you're a bad guy. Say, how did you do all of that transforming thing anyway?"

"Well, it's mostly modes. Okay, pay attention to these parts," say Convoy. He then transform back into Optimus, "Alright, so as you can see bots with disguise mods have lines that doesn't correspond to their altmodes. It's hard to see, but if you pay attention close enough, you can see the real colours inside the seams,"

"Huh. That'll come in handy," say Blurr.

Xxx

The next day, Blurr asked Optimus if he can also has disguide mods. He thought about Optimus' words, and decided to help him out to prevent an upcoming war.

"You need a name for your Decepticon disguise," say Bumblebee.

"Can I be callehed Zippy!?" Blurr asked a little too excitedly.

Bumblebee gave the intelligence agent a blank stare before shrugging, "Eh, why not?"

"I'm going back to Cybertron later. I'll tell you if I got anything about the Decepticon spy," say Blurr to Optimus as he exited the factory.

Xxx

A few weeks later, Blurr went back to Cybertron for his monthly report to Ultra Magnus. Along his way, he saw Longarm in the corridors, "Longarm!"

"Oh, Blurr. Here for your report?"

"Yeah. It's going very well, although I was almost caught," he lied. He looks at Longarm, and saw some odd seams that shouldn't be there. He can also see some purple paint in it.

Oh.

Oh, slag.

"Anyway, gotta go! I'll call you later, Longarm!" with that, the blue mech ran off. Longarm could only reset his optics in confusion. Was Blurr really that busy on Earth?

Meanwhile, Blurr is freaking out as he internally screamed, 'I'M IN LOVE WITH A DECEPTICON!!? … Wait. I guess I …am one? Slag, I'm not sure how I should feel about this,'

I'm working on a Transformers: Animated/Elfen Lied Crossover Au called 'Animaverse', where Lucy the diclonius queen was adopted by Prof. Sumdac few years before meeting the Autobots thus making her Sari's older sister.

In this universe, everything went exactly the same like the canon but with a change to the plot and storyline.

Lucy was Prof. Sumdac's first daughter; whom he adopted 9 years ago before the start of the canon universe of Transformers: Animated.

She's also his personal intern and assistant and she would become his successor when she at age to lead the company.

Prometheus Black/Meltdown has a crush on Lucy, due to her being vastly different from the other humans, metaphorically and physically. However, she didn't return Meltdown's sentiments because he keeps creeping her out with his weird talk of biomechanical science along with his fierce rivalry with her adopted father.

Eventually the Autobots make their appearance during the roach monster attack at the Sumdac robot plant.

However, the only difference is:

Lucy has interest in the Decepticons and their history and wanted to know more about them.

Lucy gained an Allspark powered wristwatch and key. (Like Sari's but with different function and ability such as 'unlocking' a bot's hidden mod and ability)

Her interest in Decepticon history and origins greatly impressed Megatron to the point that he ordered Lugnut to recruit her.

She befriend Blackarachnia; even though she hurt Sari and Optimus. Knowing that the techno-organic femme was actually suffering and just needed someone to talk to.

Lucy gained a battle armor in the likeness of Optimus and surprisingly Megatron.

After learning about their(Decepticons and Autobots) tragic dan grim background, Lucy decided that she's not the only one wronged by her society.

Lucy defend Optimus and his team from Sentinel Prime and Ultra Magnus during the Elite Guard's arrival on earth. She even rudely called Sentinel an Astroid Chinned Head fucker, right at his face. (Yeah, fuck you Sentinel! Nobody likes you and your shittiness) and Ultra Magnus an old, ignorant, foolish geezer.

But she's in friendly terms with Jazz, Blurr, Jetfire, and Jetstorm. Thanks to them for not being racist and xenophobic like Sentinel ass Prime.

And as for the relationship Lucy has with her family and the bots so far:

She greatly respect and admire Optimus and vice versa, but in Optimus's case he saw Lucy as a daughter/younger sister figure that he must protect. When he's down or in a bad mood(cough*Sentinel and his shittiness*cough), Lucy would always try to cheer him up with various goofy pictures and funny meme even introducing him to popular pop culture and songs.

Lucy sees Ratchet as a grandfather figure and deeply cares for him. Ratchet on the other hand saw her more as a daughter figure; he also appreciate her wanting to help him with his medical work.

Lucy saw Bumblebee as an obnoxious, gremlin younger brother and tries to keep him and to extense Sari away from trouble.

Lucy get along with Bulkhead just fine, although she wanted him to be less insecure and nervous of himself and his destructive nature. She even defend Bulkhead from those who ridiculed and make fun of him because of his natural clumsiness and sheer strength and size.

Prowl and Lucy are nature buddies. In fact, Lucy is the one who introduce him to earth's nature and ecosystem.

Lucy deeply cares for and loved Prof. Sumdac and Sari, because Prof. Sumdac is the one who give her the love and care she missed from her early childhood after adopting her into his family and Sari is just her precious little sister. Sari also loved and respect Lucy, though she wanted her to be more open and less secretive.

Lucy and Blackarachnia shared a complex friendship. It started with Blackarachnia trying to kidnap Sari for her key during Halloween but ended up kidnapping Lucy instead. Rather than being terrified of her, Lucy is fascinated by Blackarachnia since she never knew there's actually a bot with spider mode. Blackarachnia was confused, shocked, and astonished by this but still keep up her cold and snarky persona. But soon this started to lessened when she started bonding with Lucy; she even showed Lucy her more vulnerable and softer side when she's alone with her. And she got the honor for being Blackarachnia's first female friend.

Megatron was fascinated by Lucy, due to 1.) Saw her slicing up Starscream with literally nothing after his revival from his 50 years stasis through the news, 2.) Her interest in Decepticons and their history, and 3.) Her history and her past.

Lugnut was at first disturbed by Lucy due to her ability to harm and slice up bots by literally standing still and seemingly staring at them menacingly. But soon put this aside when Megatron asked him to recruit Lucy to the Decepticons.

All three personalities of Blitzwing have different opinions on Lucy:

Icy showed interest and fascination in her ability to move and slice objects without even touching them.

Hothead just wanted to fight Lucy to see how powerful she is for an organic, but soon regret it when she showcased her powers; with him ended having his left arm sliced up and a bruised ego.

Random affectionately called Lucy 'kitty girl' because of her cat ear shaped horns. He once try to kidnap her because he can't resist her cuteness, much to Ratchet and the other Autobot's horror. Not that she mind being held by a three faced Germany bot

Lucy absolutely despise Starscream because he threatened to hurt her dad and Sari during his first appearance.

Lucy and Jazz shared great mutual respect and understanding with each other. They even share a fair amount of interest in music that sometimes they would chat about it during Jazz's free time.

Blurr is eternally grateful that Lucy is able to understand and keep up with his rapid speech pattern that he can't ramble nonstop to the rosette, both about his job and missions and his personal problems. Lucy on the other hand is a good listener and just listen to the blue speedster rambling about his thing, including his crush on his superior; Longarm Prime/Shockwave.

Jetfire and his brother Jetstorm are fascinated by Lucy and her cool 'powers' and Lucy saw the two as precious babies she must protect.

The Dinobots; especially Grimlock hold great respect in Lucy, even considering her as their alpha because she ask her dad and Optimus to not melt them down.

Then, shenanigans and hijinks are in full swing when Lucy try to get the Autobots and Decepticons to get along with each other, which seem to be impossible given their history with one another.

She even try to hook Optimus up with Megatron, much to their dismay and the other Autobots and Decepticons' horror. Though Blitzwing secretly supports this idea, to which they formed a matchmaking inner circle together. (With Blackarachnia, Sari, and surprisingly Bumblebee)

Things getting more chaotic when a mysterious young boy who has pink hair and horns like Lucy suddenly appeared, who claimed to be Lucy's younger brother along with the attacks of the Quintessons and their attempts to take over both Earth and Cybertron.

Interaction with the bots

When Lucy is alone with Megatron and Optimus in a room;

Megatron: So, why do you try to hook me up with the Autobot prime, little one?

Optimus *is sitting right next to Megatron *: For the last 100 times my name is not just Autobot, it's Optimus Prime!

Lucy: Well, you two have something in common like... You two wanted to make Cybertron a better place where Autobots and Decepticons can live peacefully together.

Both Megatron and Optimus looked at Lucy with an unreadable expression. Clearly unable to process the rosettes words.

Optimus and Megatron *internally*: I think she's gone crazy.

Or

Lucy and Blackarachnia having a girl time.

Lucy: So, I sliced Starscream's arm up and, geez he screamed loudly like a girl. Boy, my ears are still ringing from all his screaming.

Blackarachnia: Well, he's called Starscream for a reason.

Lucy: Because of what? Wearing high heels? Wearing feminine makeup? Calling himself leader of the Decepticons?

Blackarachnia: *giggle* No, his high ego and high pitch screams.

Starscream*from a distance *:Hey! I heard that!

Blackarachnia: See.

Or

When Sentinel insults Optimus or any of the bots.

Lucy*glaring at Sentinel darkly*: Oh, are you looking for trouble, motherfucker!? *She proceed in summoning her vectors*

Sentinel Prime: *scoff* What can you do, organic? I'm clearly bigger than you.

Lucy: Oh, don't be alarmed! Because I can do this!*Lucy sliced an iron beam right next to Sentinel with her vectors as it falls on top of him* That's for always calling Optimus a lowly wash out cadet and his family a bunch of losers! And Blackarachnia a hideous, ugly organic freak! Stupid pieces of glitch!

Optimus or Ratchet: *Pick Lucy up* Uh, Lucy, I think that's enough. Let's go!
