Firsts to Grow Up AU - The connections between the cybersleeves, the Emberstone, Quintus Prime and Terratronus.

Terratronus makes a deal with Quintus Prime to only let the Terrans be born when the first human(s) who touches the Emberstone have good intentions and good heart.

Quintus enforces the cybersleeves' existence; Terratronus can manipulate it slightly (granting healing, force fields & changing its size).

Terratronus doesn't know that a shared emotional hivemind amongst organics is extremely overwhelming, invasive, and uncomfortable. When she hears Mo's desperation in wanting the cybersleeves gone when Robby falls deathly ill, Terratronus is ready to heed her wishes.

However, Quintus prevents her.

Like most metallic creatures, Quintus is indifferent at most in regards to organic creatures. Being techno-organic and a Titan, Terratronus cares for humanity regardless of the atrocities they had done to themselves and nature.

[I took the above bit from the comics where Titans hold no grudges against their citizens even after they repeatedly bombed them (Metroplex), left them to loneliness (Navitas), or become the only place where newsparks are born (Caminus).]

Mandroid and Croft knows about Terratronus. They experimented the mind control devices on Cybertronians -- those working with them and those they've cpatured -- in hopes it would work with Terratronus.

They plan to use Terratronus to invade Cybertron to "avenge humanity".

!!EARTHSPARK SPOILERS!!

Ik Karen was a bad guy but she did NOT deserve that 😰😰 I feel so bad for Jon too

[vitecetf]

My sis and i rewatched the first season of Earthspark, and I liked the agent Schloder so much, and I felt so sad for him. Yes, agent Croft is a bad person, but she is still his sister, and SHE DIED ON HIS EYES WTF

😰😰😰😰😰

[monocle-teacup]

I could be forgetting, but why did Mandroid kill Karen Croft? They share the same goal (with the latter wanting to take the next step in genociding Cybertron if it still exists). He could've tested that device on someone he deems way more "deserving" like a strong supporter of the Autobots to punish them for "treason".

Because she treated him like shit. The way she throws the energon patch on the ground in Home like Mandroid's a dog:

How she clearly doesn't care that he's in a terrible state in Disarmed:

Look at Mandroid's face as Croft leaves his lab in Disarmed:

Croft thought she was in control of him when she very much wasn't. It's obvious in every interaction they have that they hate each other.

I've once again collected my favorite frames from the new Earthspark episodes!! It's a shorter list this time but they're all gold.

[yayoineko]

Dr Meridian, while he's tied up: "Don't you think I'm a bit too old for you? Agent Cro---ahh…."

Agent Croft decides it's vital to keep Dr Meridian/Mandroid as "human" as possible, so she can keep him under her control.

Uuh…it doesn't work (it's over pretty quickly on Mandroid's side), but both decide it was a nice break from work.

runs away embarrassed

ε===(っ≧ω≦)っ

***Please note: Mandroid could escape any time, but he was curious what Agent Croft had in mind. And when he found out, meeh: "I'll play along."**

Update: @monocle-teacup has written a steamy fanfic inspired by my drawing!:

A quick analysis of the Breakdown/Bumblebee escape sequence from Earthspark

Quick context: the way I read them is more of the “we’re calling them brothers like how spop had to call catradora sisters to explain the levels of affection they have for each other and to throw off the scent of the homophobes so therefore they are gay” way. That being said.

1) Breakdown could have put his hand anywhere. ANYWHERE on Bee to push him out of the way. Instead, he puts his hand in the softest way possible on Bee’s chest - where his insignia is - where the symbol that drove them apart is stamped in a red that sets itself apart from the yellow and black of Bee’s paint job. People literally talked about this, had conversations, and approved the boards and final animations. He could have shoved him at the shoulder, or anywhere else but no. They chose his chest for a REASON.

2) The diversion scene - Breakdown is not only taking all of those stupid laser blasts, including Croft’s supercharged blasts - while being faster than Bumblebee. And we see Bee accelerating as Breakdown pulls further and further ahead. This tells me two things. One. Bee knew he would lose, but agreed to the bet with Breakdown in the trailer anyways because he would rather see him safe since he doesn’t have the same support system Bee has, and two, Bee’s entire goal of finding and racing Breakdown was to make sure he was safe and he was willing to give up ever seeing him again if it meant he would be able to evade GHOST.

3) The way Breakdown sounded when he first revealed himself, as mentioned by another post on here, was that he sounded afraid. Breakdown was terrified of being taken in, but didn’t want that to happen to Bee because he knew what GHOST had in store was both inhumane and awful. So he took the fall and dove straight into the line of fire. And you can hear the desperation in his voice as he reaches out because he knows it’s a last-ditch effort for one of them to escape to safety.

4) Bee’s look of shock and terror as Breakdown disappears under the bridge, injured, unable to transform, and surrounded by agents is heartbreaking. He just lost one of the parts of home closest to him - a friend from BEFORE the war. Remember, this isn’t someone he befriended during the war, they were torn apart by it. And they were able to keep up their little game of drag racing together until now, when the war took them apart again - potentially forever.

Also i just want to add yes I am subscribed to the headcanon that knockout is still here and that yes all three of them have two hands. Bee can have some boyfriends. As a treat. He’s been through a lot and needs love.

An individual in a powerful position teams up with a mad scientist to carry out their grand plans x2

The main thing that sets apart these two pairs are their motives.

Prowl wanted to speedrun the war to [hopefully] prevent more deaths in what was turning into a massive conflict while Mesothulas was merely obsessed with the intellectual challenge and inspiration.

As far as I can tell, Agent Croft desires control over Cybertronians for the sake of gaining more power while Dr. Meridian just wants to get rid of them.

But still. Color Theory says a lot:

Also, Mandroid has the whole spider theme going on with his Arachnamechs.

Reminds me of a certain scientist who liked spiders…

[monocle-teacup]

Still find it interesting that it's heavily implied Mandroid worked out some sort of arrangement with Croft and faked his death before the beginning of ES.

Evidence: -Croft's line to Mandroid in Disarmed: "You're no good to me dead. We already tried that."

-How Mandroid had such easy access to GHOST resources

-Croft was secretly running Bot Brawl on the side so Mandroid must have had some way to contact her directly. She even says something along the lines of: "Face to face at last." when the two interact in Home. He's basically dying at that point, but it's obvious that he hates having to deal with her.

-Mandroid's monologue about "Part of two different worlds" implies that he tried living a normal life after his accident (though not going back to teaching), but terrible treatment (most likely from being an amputee) and his hatred of TFs started him on his Mission. Also Alex believed Dr. Meridian was dead.

[lycoris-artcorner]

Funny how Karen says that 'destruction is all Cybertronians know' despite, you know, being the one who attack a family who just want to live at peace for once and wanting to conquer Cybertron while all Cybertronians want at this point is to be simply left alone. Woman got double standards here

And that's not taking in account that human race in its short existence came up with way more reasons to hate and destroy each other than Cybertronians ever did in their eons of functioning. Imagine that

[ut-girl666]

Silly idea:

Put clown makeup on all the GHOST Agents, and clown music whenever they’re in shot. Because they’re just a big fucking circus.

Except Schloder. He’s okay. :)

What Are They? (Shattered EarthSpark AU)

Previous post here. Somewhat direct continuation of the first post, unlike the second post. I'm tracking what episodes I've written for and the order of which they're written, so in time I'll have a master post with everything in order. For now, you're dealing with me just linking to previous. Long post ahead.

"How... strange," Megatron said in a rumbling tone. His frame was it's usual flight frame, though one he taken when teaming with GHOST (a shortened version of their full name, Global Hazard and Organized Security Taskforce), along with being white and blue. His bright blue optics looked over the two strange mecha Dr Meridian had returned with. The smaller being, more femme in stature but that didn't say much, stared at him and Optimus with a bloodlust in its optics as it slowly approached them. The taller of the two was much more quiet and shy, preferring to stay near Atlas Meridian.

"Hello, little ones," Optimus chirped, tone in an unnatural sweet tone. The former Autobot was still a large truck, black and purple in color with dark red optics, a near maroon color. The smaller looked directly towards Optimus, their optics meeting. "I am Optimus."

The smaller one's optics went wide with clear adoration as they replied, "We are Twitch."

"And I," Megatron began, stealing Twitch's attention from Optimus, "am Megatron, leader of the Decepticons."

The other young mecha didn't say a word, causing Dr Meridian to say, "This is Thrash." Thrash flinched at that, giving a small wave before they stepped away a bit. Atlas seemed to have noticed, as he added, "He's... not that comfortable around others."

Megatron nodded as Optimus, back to his more bland tone, stated, "Oh joy, already taking the world so harshly." He gave the black and purple bot a somewhat strong nudge, though Optimus just responded with a bored glance.

"Dr Meridian, what are these two?" Megatron asked.

Twitch's attention went back to Optimus as Atlas answered, "I am not too sure myself. GHOST detected a faint Cybertronian signal and when I went to see what it was, I found this strange stone. When I touched it, these two appeared and the cave the stone was in gained some damage."

Optimus's helm moved, raising a bit and optics glinting. "By chance, is the stone you speak of dark teal with speckles of a brighter teal?"

Meridian seemed unsure for a moment before he answered, "I wouldn't say it was dark teal, more of an ocean color, but it did have teal specks on it."

Optimus's finials flicked up as Megatron suddenly realized what the other was implying. "The Emberstone?" Megatron blinked.

"That is my thought process as well," Optimus said, glancing towards Megatron. He looked back at Atlas and asked, "Did anything else happen when the stone was activated, assuming it is the Emberstone? A voice, most likely."

Atlas gave them a weird look as Twitch continued to stare up at Optimus and Thrash shuffled back a bit. "No, just the cave damage when these two appeared. Two of the stalactites broke," he replied.

Optimus's finials did an odd motion as Megatron blinked. "Most likely not the Emberstone, then..." Megatron muttered.

"Well, no slagging clue then," Optimus deadpanned, causing Megatron to glare at him. "Unless it's some AllSpark scrap, no fragging idea."

"Language," Megatron chastised, then immediately recognized something the former Autobot said and looked away.

Optimus shrugged in reply, then his finials flickered when he saw Megatron's reaction. "We're here on Earth anyways. I was wondering when sparklings or sparkling-look-a-likes would begin to pop up," Optimus stated. "I expected Starscream and Jetfire to be first. They're not very good at hiding when they're--"

"NO!" Megatron interrupted, slammed a servo over Optimus's mouth. Optimus just stared at him with a bored look. Megatron stated, "They do not need to know."

Optimus raised a ridge as Megatron backed away. "Eventually," the black and purple truck blandly said.

Megatron's frame relaxed slightly as he looked towards Atlas and Thrash. Optimus looked down at Twitch as the white and blue mech said, "Forgive Optimus. He refuses to censor himself around... anyone, really."

"It is fine," Dr Meridian replied as Optimus knelt down to better be at Twitch's level. "It was best to report directly to you two before seeing what connection was created between my robotic arm and Twitch and Thrash."

Megatron nodded as Optimus made a noncommittal hum, adding, "They look around the age Bumblebee was when he gained his alt mode." Megatron glared at Optimus, but the former Autobot appeared to ignore him.

Megatron looked back at Atlas and said, "Once you and your team are finished, can you send Twitch and Thrash to the docking bay?"

"Of course," Atlas replied as Optimus stood back up. Twitch lifted a servo towards him, causing him to grin.

"You'll see me again, little one. Rejoin Dr Meridian," Optimus said. Twitch's young field flared in disappointment Optimus's field just began pushing against the young mecha's own, releasing a bit of reassurance into his field. Twitch lowered her servo, stared for a moment, then walked back to Atlas and Thrash. Thrash kept his distance from his sibling, field bubbling with nervousness.

"We'll see you again in due time," Megatron said before Atlas began to walk away. Thrash immediately followed, though Twitch lagged behind slightly to stare at Optimus before finally following.

Once they left, Optimus said, "I'll be there early, once I check in one Jetfire." He didn't wait for a reply, immediately walking out of the room.

Megatron stared for a moment, then his frame relaxed immensely and he turned towards a nearby table where a machine sat, looking like a purple box with many seems and loose plating. "RAPTR Unit 3, contact Executive Agent Croft," he said.

The machine reacted. It transformed from its small, compact box form into a raptor-like body shape that was roughly twice the size of an average human teenager. RAPTR's plating was mostly purple and bits of white and slate making up the rest of the plate color. Yellow biolights were on the droid, with its snout and face being replaced with a screen and camera. (RAPTR, being short for Recall Adviser and Pair Task Reporter.)

RAPTR's screen lit up, showing a loading screen. After a few moments, the familiar face of Agent Croft appeared on the screen. All he could see on the screen was her familiar silver hair, fair skin, green eyes, and part of her uniform.

Once it was clear it was connected, Croft asked, "What was found at the signal?"

"If what Dr Meridian said and our assumptions are correct, a stone of Earthen origins that is able to create Cybertronian-like life," Megatron replied. "It has created two of them so far, both relatively are at the tail end of their sparkling phase and soon to roll over into their youngling phase."

"Interesting..." Croft muttered. "That is something to be explored at a later point." She raised her voice. "Thank you for informing me. I'll make sure there's a team with an eye on it. Is there someone able to watch over these new... younglings?"

Megatron thought for a moment.
