Vision & Billy’s relationship is massively underrated and it just means so much to me. Vision came up with the name Billy and insisted on it, in honor of William Shakespeare, meaning Billy is short for William and so that is still his true name. Even when Billy was not yet born, Vision said to him, “I can’t wait to meet you, little Billy!” and (correctly) declared that Billy would be perfect if he was anything like his mother. Billy was the only twin whose birth Vision was present to witness. Vision read The Descent of Man to try to make newborn Billy stop crying. Billy’s first word after aging himself up to 5 was “Daddy?” and then Vision immediately gathered him into a hug, calling him “baby” in the most tender voice. Billy is intelligent, thoughtful, and observant like his dad. Billy’s powers manifested at the moment that Vision was in trouble, and his first telepathic vision was the sound of his dad’s screams and the sight of him falling apart, and he sensed his dad’s pain, and pleaded for him to be saved. Billy ran directly into Vision’s arms after they survived S.W.O.R.D.’s ambush. Billy buried his face in Vision’s embrace to hide from the sight of his mom getting hurt. Just like Vision, even when his existence was technically only 3 years old, he matured quickly and fell in love, to the deep level of wanting to be as honest and open with his boyfriend as his dad was with his mom. And even in a brand-new life with no memories of Vision, Billy is a fast learner (fitting for the son of an android with a computer brain), becoming in just 3 years a skilled-enough magician to break his own mom’s spell and to surpass the level of literally centuries-old witches, and managing to piece together his true identity AND the truth about the Road from mere fragments of clues. Even now, Billy still shares Vision’s high capacity for learning and understanding, and the first memory of the Hex that returns to him is Vision telling him that he’s proud of him. And his Wiccan costume includes an echo of the design of Vision’s cape. Billy’s got Jeff now too, and Jeff is awesome, but his name, sharp brains, keen eyes, and romantic heart all come from his Robo-Papa, who may not be related to him in terms of normal DNA, but is still his Dad all the same.

Love how everyone is freaking out about Billy, and AgathaxRio and Wanda and whatever else they’re freaking out about, and all that like all the episodes are already out. Meanwhile I’m just scared that it’s gonna seem like it’s working up to something great and then it��ll have that horrible Loki esc ending. Which for those who don’t know, was horrible for everyone who is sane, this is not opinion but fact and it held out the potential of potential until the very end and just kinda failed. So essentially, I just want there to be a satisfactory ending with no big missing pieces and no major cliffhangers or loose ends that haven’t already been either confirmed or largely speculated to be solved in something else. And as this is AGATHA all along I really just hope that the last 2 episodes are super Agatha centric and that Agatha either 1. Gets a happy ending or 2. Is basically confirmed to have more to do in the larger MCU and more spotlight type moments later on. And I also kinda hope that this next episode kinda keeps the same vibes as episodes 3+4 since this is def gonna be Lilia’s trial and I want her to have the same treatment as Jen and Alice. (I think we all know that Agatha, Rio, and Billy are special)

And there is my hopefully unproblematic view on the last few episodes of Agatha All Along, everyone pretend to be happy even tho I know it’s basically impossible but imo this is one of, if not the, best thing to come out of marvel since like season 1 of Loki at best.

I will say tho that I think the hating AAA because no Wanda isn’t cool. I personally didn’t think I’d see Wanda in this any more than I’d think I’d see her in ant man. It’s not fair to either character to have Wanda come now, she’ll almost definitely overshadow Agatha in her own show, and she should be able to have a return that is just about her, and that also shouldn’t happen unlit Billy, Toby, and Robo Papa are sorted out first.

You ever think about how all of the Nine Sols bosses are super weird - they have superpowers, highly deadly dream avatars, supermutants, magic, chemically enhanced muscles, robots, etc.

AND THE FINAL BOSS. The boss everyone complains about for being too hard...

Transformers and GI Joe story idea.

Heyo.

So, given Skybound's current Transformers and GI Joe comics are out now...and to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Transformers, I figured I'd share my idea for a Transformers Legacy and GI Joe Classified story.

I should point out that, while not important, Rom and the Micronauts do exist in this story.

This initial post is for Transformers. GI Joe will be in another post.

Okay. So some build up.

1: This is set in present day.

2: Optimus Prime (a fusion of the Peter Cullen Primes (G1/G2, movie, and Aligned), thus sharing their forms and abilities through the Reconfiguration Matrix) is retired from active service. Most of the 1984-86 cast are retired, actually. Optimus is done. He can’t take the constant pressure of the war and the guilt it gives him. Instead, he does his own justice.

3: The war was thought to be over, however, that hasn't stopped some from trying to start it again. That said, some characters, like Soundwave and Thundercracker (heavily inspired by their IDW counterparts) are helping with making sure the conflict is minimal. Most of the Decepticon cast don't want another war, actually.

Characters who gained more prominence in the later shows, like the Unicron Trilogy, Super-God Masterforce, and Victory characters for example, are here too (though some have to be renamed to not make things confusing). This includes the humans.

Garry Chalk Optimus Prime, who still leads his respective Autobots, is reimagined as this universe’s Primus (the Transformers creator). The David Kaye Megatron is reimagined as Unicron.

The Primus of this Legacy-inspired story will be based on certain forms of UT Optimus. Unicron is a mix of Armada Megs and Unicron. I know it's probably lame in comparison to Primus, but Armada Megatron had the best design.

7: Car Robots Optimus and Magnus is here, but as an original character named in their Japanese names. BOTH are female, inspired by the only canonical female Optimus that was sadly only a recolor of Car Robots Optimus..and not an original design.

8: EACH iteration of Transformers occurs as if it happened on the day of its release. For example, the 1986 film occurs in 1986, not the year 2005 as stated in the film. Of course, certain things are changed in order to not make this a mess.

9: Optimus Prime is a character who dares to challenge and surpass fate and destiny at any opportunity he gets. For example, he survives his 1986 encounter with Megatron...and uses the Matrix to resurrect everyone who died in the event.

Main Story

Part 0: So, this whole thing started as a mix of the cartoons, while slowly became more IDW and movie-verse like, much to the dismay of Optimus and some of the Autobots. During an All Hail Megatron-inspired event, Thundercracker leaves and berates Soundwave before doign so, leaving the communications officer stunned by the seeker's courage.

Soundwave then goes through every event that's been cataloged in the base's files, before realizing just how far the Decepticon dream has fallen. He usurps Megatron shortly after and brings him to the Autobots, taking command of the Decepticons after a brutal fight with Starscream.

Megatron is found to be suffering from extreme insanity, which is treated during his prison sentence. With that, in the year of 2014 (30 years after the Transformers' initial arrival on Earth), the war is officially brought to an end.

Then in 2019, a new generation of Decepticons emerge (lead by Starscream), before forced to retreat after the arrest of their leader. And with that, most of the 1980s cast chose to retire after Optimus and Rodimus step down as Autobot commanders. The war remains ongoing, but on a smaller scale.

Part 1: The plot surrounds the Autobots (ALL of them) as they attempt to repel the new wave of Decepticons Should point out that some former members have either changed sides, become unaffiliated, or (like Optimus Prime) retired. Frank Welker Megatron is an example of the last one.

Not sure what reasons this new generation of Decepticons will have, other than that they're more aligned with Unicron. Optimus uses his Super Mode Stellar Optimus/Star Convoy rarely here, opting to chose his base robot mode upgrades, like G2 Hero and Laser Optimus.

A few major members escape. Others surrender. Unicron begins to manipulate the future to further his schemes, as he's realizing who and what he and Primus truly are. Primus knows who he is and what he must do, but the Matrix is sacrificed to give the god his answers.

Interlude 1: Optimus struggles with being brought back into the war, which leads to him seeking Magnus's own guidance. The two stay alone for a majority of their time in this...and ultimately, Optimus feels like he's making progress and thanks his twin brother.

The two reminisce about the days before the war, wondering their older siblings (the original Nemesis Primes), grandparents (Nova's predecessor and Alpha Trion), Uncle (Sentinel Prime),and their father (Nova Prime) would feel about them right now. Optimus thinks about Elita and wonders if she's disgusted by his conflicting actions and behavior.

However, human terrorist groups that the Autobots have dealt with in the past return for some vengeance. Not wishing to fight, Optimus radios in an emergency ground bridge for an escape. Despite his efforts to prevent more losses from happening, Magnus uses himself as a shield to defend his brother.

Upon hearing the confirmation that Magnus is gone, Optimus loses it, willingly giving in to his built up rage and stress. He actively tracks down the terrorists responsible and unleashes absolute hell on them. Despite his rage, he chooses not to kill, but instead ensures that the terrorists will fear him for all time.

Upon returning, a funeral is held for Magnus...and Optimus contemplates as to if he should return to solitude.... Primus and Optimus's closest friends convince him not to, as Magnus would want him to continue protecting his loved ones.

Part 2: The Maximals and Predacons arrive to present day from the future. The Predacons wish to change their future, while the Maximals wish to preserve it. Unlike most retellings of the Beast Wars, both sides are fighting an understandable cause, but for different reasons, which causes friction. Primal is the legal surname of Optimus Primal, Lio, and Big Convoy. Convoy is the rank, with OP being titled Kong Convoy.

The Autobots and Decepticons are in the background this time, working to rebuild after the short-lived second Great War, but a few provide major supporting roles (like Primus and Peter Cullen Optimus). Also, the initial three Beast Wars series did happen, leading to BW Megatron and BW Galvatron's demise at the hands of Dinobot and Lio Convoy (legally named Leonidas Primal here) respectively. Big Convoy is also given the legal name of Mammoton Primal and given a less-shell-formy design.

Primus manages to diffuse tensions, successfully getting the Maximals and Predacons to work together and change their future for the best. He and Unicron are seriously injured, nearly causing a paradox. Primus is upgraded to the form I described, before traveling back in time (with an imprisoned Unicron) to meet The One (the creator of the TF multiverse and Primus and Unicron) and restore history as a result.

Interlude 2: Primus, before leaving, gives Optimus the temporary ability to travel to any universe and multiverse he wishes for (in his universe's timeline) one month. Ecstatic, Optimus takes his vacation, eager to get a chance to truly relax and have fun. He first travels to a world similar to Beast Wars Uprising, which greatly disturbs him, meeting more Maximal descendants of his, like Convobat (voiced by Kevin Conroy) and Aquila Convoy.

He ultimately helps prevent the war from leading to a Vehicon scenario and arrests the Builders personally, displaying and feeling a greater sense of responsibility, as this is what would've happened if he died and there was no Matrix.

Optimus's reconfiguration matrix upgrades him by granting him a new super mode comprised on the three sacred animals of Japan; A phoenix for the back and chest, a lion/tiger for the right arm, and a dragon for the legs and left arm. This is called Beast King Optimus/Juou Convoy. Very Brave series.

Huge issue is that this form is hard to control and is mainly a berserker transformation.

Optimus then enters the multiverse of the Braves franchise, meeting and helping out various heroes like the OG Exkaiser, fan favorites Might Gaine and J-Decker, Goldran, even the king himself: Gaogaigar. Eventually, Optimus's rage gets the better of him again, but after being inspired by the people he's met across time and space, he successfully overcomes it, merging his Super Modes together to become a Great Combiner himself: Great Optimus/Great Convoy.

To make sure his presence doesn't screw up the Braves' multiverse, Optimus sacrifices this new form to keep the multiverse stable, before returning home.

Part 3: The deceased 11 of the original Transformers (the 13 Primes) come back to life and attempt to bring back the Golden Age. However, their views are significantly warped after what lead to their downfall. The Autobots, Decepticons, and their descendants unite to stop them, no matter the cost.

Optimus also restores the Matrix in response to this plight, becoming its bearer once more and reborn into his former glory, restoring his Great form in exchange for his Hero and Laser forms. Five members of the 13 also join, realizing how misguided they've become.

They are Nexus, Vector, Alpha Trion, Alchemist, and Micronus. Speaking of the OG Primes, the four Guiding Hand members (excluding Primus obviously) and Logos Prime are instead treated as students/successors to the 13. The Last Autobot is instead the codename for Teletraan 1's Ark robot mode.

Optimus and Megatron are revealed to be the Thirteenth and Megatronus respectively, having been reincarnated, thus retaining NO memories of their past. Optimus meets his siblings, Elita, Nova Prime, Sentinel Prime, and various deceased human allies after a near-death experience, all encouraging him to continue living and fighting for what he believes is right.

Interlude 3: This mainly just goes over what Primus and Unicron have been doing since going to the past. It goes over how The One (the source of the entire multiverse, kinda like The One Above All from Marvel) came into contact with this Primus and Unicron, before making them his wards, much to the ire of his other wards: The Vok.

Gaea is also in this, being the core of Earth. Primus and her have a tight sibling relationship, with Primus viewing her as the big sister. Eventually, Primus creates the life we now today, viewing them as his offspring and loving them dearly. Unicron returns to his old ways, which finally pushes Primus to the breaking point.

As the brothers fight, Primus desperately tries to keep anyone else from getting harmed. Unfortunately, Gaea uses herself as a shield for Primus, dying in her brother's arms. Unicron flees, while Primus makes Gaea the core of Earth, naming the planet after her as he knows what will happen in the future.

Primus and Unicron's feud continues, which results in more loss of life, frustrating and causing more heartache to Primus. In a desperate attempts, he creates the 12 members of the Covenant (from 3H's comics), before they willing choose to become the 13 Primes: The original Transformers. Optimus Prime is the only one of the group who was a unique creation and not a reborn Covenant member.

Unicron is finally thwarted for now...but not all is done. Primus witnesses Cybertron's growth to what it is today. He watches the fall of the Thirteen, the arrogance of Prima, the betrayal of Liege Maximo, the redemption of Megatronus, and the vengeance and grief of Optimus.

And now we are lead to present day, where it's revealed that Unicron's attack on Gaea had infected her, forcing Primus to mercy-kill her. Primus reluctantly restores Optimus and Megatron's memories of their past lives, before letting them make their own decisions with this knowledge as he returns to Cybertron.

Part 4: Unicron (in his present day form) arrives to Earth, while Primus returns from present day Cybertron to protect his home and family. This final battle between the gods is played like a tribute to every final battle in the franchise, as well as a tribute to the mecha genre (as Mazingers Z and Great, the old and new Getter teams, the RX-78-2 and Extreme Gundams, and Brave Exkaiser and Gaogaigar join in), with Primus as the victor. BOTH die, which gives the Transformers a chance to live without having to worry about the gods' feud.

The remaining escaped Decepticons, still loyal to Unicron, attempt to use the Nemesis to destroy the Autobots. Primus lends Optimus his power, growing into a Titan and giving him the strength to destroy the Nemesis by using the Ark. With all threats now finally gone, Optimus dies peacefully as he witnesses the most beautiful sunrise he's seen.

The Matrix is passed to Optimus Primal, evolving him to Primal Prime (or Rebirth Convoy), and the Maximals and Predacons head back to their now-changed time period.

Somewhere across the multiverse...Optimus Prime, Megatron, Optimus Primal, BW Megatron, Garry Chalk, David Kaye, Frank Welker, and Peter Cullen are all hanging out and relaxing on the beach in the glow of a brilliant sunrise.

Till All Are One.

Will give this Optimus Prime hypothetical epilogue/retirement stories where he travels the multiverse and meets other Optimus Primes, making the whole Thirteenth Prime connection even stronger, besides the simple reincarnation. He will also go up against the will of the multiverse (so basically Hasbro, Paramount, Takara, and potentially the entire fandom and hatedom).
