#sg ultra magnus

[starscreams-crown]

Cliffjumper: "Alright... Megatron was the good guy here, he died, came back as Galvatron. Optimus Prime is a psychopath craving power. His brother is worse. Treatshot is obsessed with bringing Ultra Magnus to justice. Sideburn and Demolishor were some weird underbase thing. Oh, and Starscream is actually kinda cool..."

[transingthoseformers]

An evil shattered glass Megatron and Ultra Magnus fic is in the works

So far, it's not looking pretty for Megatron

[lokitheunicorn]

Slowly going through the different characters of the Shattered Glass universe with Ultra Magnus being the fourth one I've drawn so far.

[seraphim-seeker]

Messed Up AU Idea:

OKAY. LISTEN. LISTEN. So you know how in the SG Universe Ultra Magnus straight Steals Optimus Body? Okay, So what if…TFA Ultra Magnus did that?

[ask-sg-optimus-prime]

who would you kill first?

Megatron or Ultra Magnus.

Megatron, unless Ultra Magnus steps out of line. Magnus would make an impressive example among my ranks.

Shattered glass tfa Megatron and Starscream walking with semi reformed delinquent son Optimus. :33333333333333

In my head, the Decepticons put the space bridge crew through therapy (cause oh boy do they need it) and Ultra Magnus was VERY abusive towards Optimus in particular snd gave him the scar on the side of his face ( the others find out about that MUCH later when cybertron is reformed and Magnus is in prison for lifers) and Megatron and Starscream end up adopting him.

Here's Megatron comforting a crying Optimus.

Hi! I wonder if you could give me some hcs about predaking x Ultra Magnus but in shattered glass au pls 🙏 ( both sfw and nsfw)

Hm. I’m imagining Predaking as a very sweet and loyal person in this case so I’ll try my best

Predaking tries to convince Magnus that trying to have the matrix will only get him hurt

Magnus has a bit of an ego in SG and his transition into a relationship was a bit drawn out

Magnus wants to paint Predakings wings sometimes but Predaking struggled to trust him

Predaking kisses the scars Magnus has and it reduces Magnus to a sappy soft mess

Magnus pets Predaking to help him sleep without nightmares

Magnus pities Predaking for being warforged and talks about things before the war and even tries to keep his bias out of it

Magnus gives Predaking autobot books to decode

Shockwave was stunned to see Predaking taking a mate with an autobot but having Magnus

Nsfw:

Magnus was shook by Predacon spike

They’re very gentle during interfacing. It’s a moment of trust and tenderness and vulnerability

Magnus felt embarrassed for not being able to take predakings spike right away but Predaking was very gentle and encouraging

Sometimes they’ll switch

They clean up very well bc pregnancy scares are not what are needed currently

[ghostingcrows]

Overall Shattered Glass Thoughts

I’m not...disapointed persay

I think overall that was a really good ending

I love Soundwaves finals lines of “Things get worse before they get better” and “cybertron is worth fighting for”

I actually really really like Slicers mini-redemption and getting to see his relationship with Ratchet and how that worked out in regards to how he acts with the Wreckers and Soundwave

And also it doesn’t feel as rushed as it probably should because we see throughout the entire comic how nobody is particularly loyal to anybody so him choosing to just run off with his boyfriend instead of getting crushed by Metroplex is nice

I think the skystar ending was good but also kinda disapointing

I mean if we had just gotten one more issue with the aftermath where we get to see how the decepticons are doing and get to see them return Stars spark to his body it would have been perfect

So it could have been better but I’m okay with how it wrapped up considering the time they were given

Ultra Magnus stealing Ops skin was...not what I was expecting or prepared for

Overall I really loved Shattered Glass

I think its probably one of my favorite comics

Not quite number 1 but up there

9/10

[iruiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

part 3 of transformers the movie but evil and with dick jokes

[redfoxdude07]

I gave Delta Magnus leg extensions, and now he looks like the chillest mf around

Wild what an extra inch does to someone's perception of something

[laserbread]

[transingthoseformers]

Thinking about my one SG au where:

Ultra Magnus is/was in charge

Optimus is/was aiming to dethrone Ultra Magnus

Megatron is an exminer (but no gladiator era) who gained a following through his writings and his eventual connections through other notable decepticons

Optimus does eventually overthrow Ultra Magnus after obtaining the Matrix

Sentinel Magnus was the Magnus before Ultra Magnus, he's in a situation like bayverse Sentinel (should I Shatter him too or make him worse? I'm tempted to make him worse) and I feel like he'll be found in stasis somewhere in a trashed ship. I feel like it won't go well, I want to make him v similar to bayverse Sentinel tbh and have him betray both the autobots and decepticons

Cybertron gets pretty trashed, but it'll be rebuilt eventually— bit by hit

Cybertron sucked ass before the war, as you might've guessed

MEGATRONUS PRIME BEING FOUND LIKE BAYVERSE BUT HE'S 100% SHATTERED AND HE'S A GUIDING FORCE FOR A WHILE!!

I feel like the decepticon base on earth in this au is either under the ocean like in g1 (iicr?) or in the middle of the fucking desert somewhere.

Groundbridges are a thing, as are spacebridges but those are generally massive and in space

Outliers aren't a thing. No Skywarp teleporting, no Sunstorm radiation, no immortal spark Starscream, no telepath Soundwave, nothing.

The decepticons existed for a short while before the war

Just about everyone has their canon colors / a mix of their canon colors

Starscream was ex-military before getting into the decepticons and being thrown into the war

Shockwave was a minor and obscure scientist before the war, gradually gaining skill and rank throughout it

I'm torn on Soundwave because on one hand I liked showhost!Soundwave in SG IDW, but I liked how Megatron just kinda found him in IDW, buuut I also really like the idea of going with a TFP influence in his backstory and making him a former gladiator.

At some point or another Bumblebee has an arc of his own, not sure how but I just think there should be

I think I mentioned it before but the constructicons are medics

VERY torn on whether Megatron should have a fusion cannon or no.

Energon is blue here

I'm torn on how to introduce the human buddies into this and how they'd act but I definitely want Mikaela and Sam in on this (I'd love to see how they're characterized in a more series like setting rather than a movie one)

Elita is a major general and I vaguely feel like she deserves her person chair like she gets in IDW.

Actually Rodimus gets his Lost Light colors because I say so. He's either one of the wreckers or Optimus's eventual successor (or both?) (I'm not sure where to place Rodimus during the war, but I like his SG personality)

Torn on Deadlock never defecting or him becoming an autobot wrecker somehow. Because on one hand, angst. On the other hand, I like his Deadlock design and the idea of him staying moderately loyal to a SG Megatron makes sense in SG. Hgghhh but SG driftrod. I don't know, I like both options.

Ratchet is still terrifying like he is in SG IDW

Most of the designs are like if you drew the IDW designs in the TFA style, in my mind

Mnemosurgery is a thing because it's so horrifying I love it I hate it I love it

Galvatron =/= Megatron and he's such an example of "but what if [character] was good but also still himself". He's still got Cyclonus and Scourge at his side.

The sg dinobots are terrifying

Shockwave makes the Predacons (Predaking, Skylynx, Darksteel, possibly a few more?) and they're almost a reflection to the dinobots. Because Predaking v Grimlock would be so fucking cool.

Wheeljack is terrifying this time

Jazz and Prowl are evil husbands

There's not as many characters on earth as in g1, but there's certainly more than in say tfp or tfa (... How many mecha are on earth in g1 again?)

There are characters who are on other planets fighting the war

[knight-says-rollout]

Would you mind telling us about more disabled Cybertronians?

Oh boy would I

For this list let’s focus on physical disabilities, both because they’re the most commonly dismissed by the fandom and bc if we try to cover everything we’d be here all day (that can be another list, maybe, if y’all want)

This isn’t going to be comprehensive bc I’m tired but!! I will aim for a broad variety of examples nonetheless

Bumblebee - You all know him, you all love him. He’s the most obvious and most well known example of a disabled Cybertronian character.

In many iterations he is mute

Not by choice but because he lacks a voice box. Bee physically isn’t capable of speech and depending on the version has different tools to work around that. Sometimes he uses his radio to repurpose song and radio dialogue into speech, in cyberverse he also makes use of the internet for clips. In the aligned continuity (tfp and connected media) he speaks in binary, a very simplified form of language using beeps and buzzes, but still lacks a real voice and can’t form words.

In IDW he has a cane

At one point in the comics Bumblebee was shot by a human protester and as a result used a cane for a good bit of time. I haven’t had the chance to read that far into IDW yet so I’m not sure how long he had the cane for but it was enough time that it’s a solidified part of the charcaters history. I’ve seen little models of the cane for sale, to be paired with bee figures.

TFP Ultra Magnus - everyone’s favorite awkward commander, despite his popularity he’s surprisingly overlooked when it comes to this discussion

An amputee, he lost his hand

During an energon raid with wheeljack, magnus’ hand was crushed. Ratchet couldn’t save it and had to amputate, replacing it with a hooked prosthetic. I call it a prosthetic rather than replacement part because despite him being able to move it, it’s not a hand. Not in the way he had previously, and he has to relearn how to use it at all.

I think that’s an important distinction to make when discussing disability and transformers. Some bots might have only ever had one hand, or no legs, or etc but that’s always been their level of ability and since they Are robotic. Yeah they might not have the same capabilities as another bot but that’s a hard metric to go by. Seekers can fly but a grounder isn’t disabled because they can’t fly too, it’s a different standard.

WFC Shamble - far lesser known than Magnus, and reasonably so, this background character is Also missing a limb

Amputee, leg edition

His prosthetic is a lot less fancy than magnus’s, it’s a simple peg leg. Put em together and you get a pirate. Not much to say about him since i don’t know how he lost the leg, just that he did.

Shadow Striker - Most awesome lady in cyberverse. Unlike the above two, she Was able to get actual replacement parts rather than prosthetics. Despite this, she is both shown throughout the show and implied to have

Impaired mobility

Chronic pain

She was able to get replacement parts yes but they were needed because she was blown up. The limbs she was given were kinda just what the others could Find and as such are mismatched and don’t fit her very well. Her motor skills took a blow especially when it comes to combat, something she used to excel in. Her new limbs are described as unstable and prone to malfunction. The loss of mobility and implied chronic pain that come along with her situation are rough, but she makes do.

SG Soundwave - my favorite little guy, he’s in a bit of a different situation than the previous.

Bad Joints ™

His body was entirely overhauled multiple times, successfully, but the latest frame change was done with conflicting metals. Earth and Cybertronian materials clash in his joints, making them prone to getting stopped up. The most affected hinge being the one on the door to his tape deck. It is so prone to getting stuck that his cassettes refuse to dock with him at risk of getting trapped. To work around this, Soundwave has the aid of a personalized case he carries around that they dock in instead.

IDW Sunstreaker - speaking of assistive devices, this guy was (for a time) a wheelchair user! Or,, hoverchair.

Temporary,,, paraplegic? Correct me if another term fits better

Taking this moment for an aside to say hey!! Lookit that, both canes and hoverchairs are things that canonically and casually exist on cybertron!! It’s not too wild to assume there are bots out there who use them long term!! Yes both characters on this list were repaired eventually but they’re also both very popular old characters from an action based franchise and hasbro doesn’t have the balls to make something like that permanent yet. We the fandom are not hasbro. We can do whatever we damn want with our OCs. It’s canon that ur little guy can use mobility aids.

Ok, PSA over, anyway yeah Sunny’s body was basically wrecked and alpha trion was able to repair all of him except his legs. This put him in a hoverchair for a good amount of time.

Finback - he’s a con, a pirate, who developed a “metal wasting disease”

He’s on permanent life support

The disease is going to kill him eventually, and it’s explicitly stated that he’s come to terms with the idea of his death. In the meantime he’s using pretender tech, kinda like fancy armor, to reinforce himself and boost his immune system

Perceptor - for a microscope, the fact he’s got vision issues in multiple continuities is kinda ironic

He’s fully blind in cyberverse

He lost an eye in IDW

Between the two we get to see both routes taken to work with this. Adaption and technological aid. In cyberverse he uses his scope to compensate for the loss of vision Toph-style. In IDW he built himself a monocle that basically replaces the pieces that are missing.

Now we get into the uniquely Cybertronian disabilities, one’s that don’t quite translate to human conditions

Transmutate - is a beloved bot from beast wars

They can’t transform, they don’t have an alt mode

I’m hazy on the details of their character but afaik they came from a damaged stasis pod. Described as deformed and handicapped for their both their lack of an alt mode and general appearance, they are probably the oldest explicitly disabled Cybertronian character

Xaaron - from G1 is in a similar situation

He can’t transform, it would kill him

Unlike transmutate he does have an alt mode, a tank, but after thousands of years without transforming he is no longer able to. The new stress it would cause on his body would kill him.

Broadside - continuing with the subject of alt modes, this clumsy boy is a boat! That’s not a good thing.

He’s very prone to motion sickness

As you can imagine, chronic sea sickness isn’t the most helpful thing when you are the boat. This brings in the entirely new element of mobility issues that are inherent to alt modes. A bot that functions fine in root form might not in alt mode and vice versa.

Trailbreaker - is another instance of this. He’s not a fast car by any means but that doesn’t stop the fact

His frame has a very high energon cost

Possibly the least fuel efficient autobot, he’s got an outlier ability on top of it all that only further increases his required energon intake. He needs to pay more attention to his energon levels and refuel more often overall.

G1 Knockout - yes that’s right the shiny medic himself is on this list, though not for the same reason as his tfp version, g1 knockout still lives up to his name

He’s prone to fainting

A knockout in the more literal sense, he faints when he gets too excited. Fully collapses and everything. Since he’s a fall risk, his teammates take care to keep an eye on him.

Annnnd Yknow he probably should’ve been earlier in the list along with the “human-ish” issues but I’m tired, it’s late, and I’m bringing this list to a close

Im sure there are more characters that I didn’t mention but I hope this helped! Thank you for the ask

[ask-sg-optimus-prime]

Ultra Magnus X Elita Might be an acceptable Ship .

JUST sayin'...

As long as it isn’t my universe’s Ultra Magnus going after my Elita, I don’t care.

[toomanybrainrots]

Got random ideas for a shattered glass au for TFP and RB and im sharing them here

Starting with TFP, Optimus would definitely be in the place of Megatron, as Autobots are evil here. SG!Optimus is a ruthless and cold tyrant that shows zero mercy towards anyone, not even his fellow Autobots. He sees the Autobots as minions and pawns he could dispose of ay any minute, he only keeps the useful ones.

SG!Ratchet is a cold-sparked and cynical medic, who is willing to use his fellow Autobots to get the results he wants. He may be a medic, but he's not afraid to get his servos dirty to get his results.

SG!Bulkhead is a wrecker who is always angry, always snapping or lashing out at something or someone. He doesn't care one bit about anything or anyone he breaks, as he enjoys the feeling of wrecking and the destruction that he intentionally causes, having a cruel and arrogant demeanor. Due to that, he has broken many of Ratchet's gadgets, causing the two to despise each other and willing to sacrifice the other.

SG!Arcee is a sly and cowardly femme, willing to scarifice anyone that is in her way as long as she gets out alive in the end, having a cold-sparked and cruel demeanor. She has plans to overthrow Optimus, as she sees herself to be more of a fit to be the leader of the Autobots. She and SG!Airachnid have quiet a history together, considering she had killed her previous partner before her very optics, and was the reason her partner, Skyquake, had fallen.

SG!Bumblebee is a loyal and silent scout, as his voicebox had been ripped out by Optimus himself as a punishment for disobeying him and a warning for the others, yet he sees that he deserved the punishment. He has eyes everywhere on the Ark, always knowing what is happening and relaying to Optimus. He is merciless on the battlefield and will not hesitate to off his opponents if necessary.

SG!Wheeljack is a cold and calculating scientist wrecker, who's experiments are bizzare and almost inhumane. He is a servant of logic first and foremost rather than a servant of Optimus. He does not care for anyone, simply seeing all of them as tools to further his experiments, which perfectly describes his relationship with Bulkhead.

SG!Ultra Magnus is a wrecker commander who is loyal to Optimus and the Autobots, but rarely does he take anything seriously. Yes, he gets the job done but he is, what Bulkhead and Wheeljack describe, a fool who does not deserve his title or his respect, a sentiment that is shared by everyone but Optimus, as the Prime doesn't care if Ultra Magnus is annoying or not, simply seeing him as a useful pawn he can manipulate and use.

SG!Smokescreen is mature and calculating, despite his young age. The rookie takes everything seriously, never joking around at all. Smokescreen is one of the only two bots that Bumblebee seems to have taken a liking to, often seen with him or nearby when a bot seeks one of the two out.

Now Recue Bots, who aren't exactly Rescue Bots.

In this SG universe, they are a faction that was founded by the Autobots and full of gladiators, wreckers and criminals, to cause disasters for the Autobots to come and swoop in and "save the day", to be the knights in shining armors and deceive the rest of Cybertron. But, the Rescue bots had defected, refusing to cause these disasters no more, which angered Optimus, a lot. SG!Heatwave and his team had managed to escape Optimus in their spaceship, having to go in stasis to hide their life signals away from the Autobots, the others were not as lucky.

I still don't know what to do for the Rescue Bots, i have ideas but I'm still working on them so yeah

I just wanted to ramble about this

[ghost-spark-odyssey]

I found a UK site selling 3rd party Transformers toys and picked my faves 😂
