Transformers: Loyalty

about the Decepticon Justice Division, formerly known as Legacy

the decepticon justice division was formed early on in the war. they were originally a group meant to rescue decepticons which have been caught by the autobots and held as prisoners of war. hence why the name, legacy. they were a much larger team back then, consisting of 20 members, who would get replaced once one of them perished in combat.

later on, they became megatron’s personal assassins and gained the name they are known by now, the decepticon justice division. they became a group that forced the troops back in line; everyone feared their wrath. their leader, tarn was rumored to have been the supposed outlier named damus, however no one was able to prove it. and those who got close to discovering the truth always disappeared without a trace…

the division was tasked with finding those who left the cause, and slaughtering them as brutally as they could. displaying a show of strength and then killing the traitor as they shook in fear.

as they became known as the djd, they limited themselves to five members, named after the first decepticon cities. the only member who doesn’t follow that rule is a medic on their team, named nickel. it’s said that the members changed a lot, but their leader, tarn has been with the division since it’s founding.

outside of combat, the djd have a very strange relationship. some would say they’re like a really messed up family.

later on in the war, the leader tarn and communications officer kaon were exposed to ghostly energon. said substance was a dangerous one, known to make mechs lose their minds and slowly perish. to this day, it is a mystery within the cause as to how the two survived exposure to this substance.

the djd survive to see the end of the war, and live on even in the days of “peace”, hunting down deception traitors and defectors.

and to finish off, a few fun facts about the division!

the djd have a special language they use in combat. to accommodate kaon’s blindness, they developed a form of communication that the blind mech can sense via his echolocation. they use taps on the ground or their own bodies to signalize and communicate.

every djd member knows chirolinguistics, and sometimes talk to each other that way.

tarn has OCD and will constantly pick at his face, making his scars worse

vos uses cybertronian sign language along with primal vernacular

kaon uses his electricity for echolocation

he also has heightened senses (hearing mainly)

most assume tessaurus is mute, as he rarely speaks. he is only talkative around the division’s members

helex is the joke maker of the team. her jokes always make the djd smile

there are three things wise men fear: a moonless night, a storm at sea, and nickel’s fury; or in short: nickel is the only bot (aside from megatron) who can put the djd in their place and still make themselves energon in the morning

every member carries around a phone with a prerecorded, lethal message from tarn

tarn doesn’t show it, but he cares for his teammates a lot.

he isn’t openly affectionate, he prefers giving praise and compliments rather than physical contact. the most affection you’ll get from him is a pat on the head or a small, very awkward hug

someone has to stay by vos’ side to make sure they sleep, as vos tends to forget about it when they get too caught up on working at their experiments.

(they literally become a gremlin that screeches in an ancient language while bouncing off walls if they don’t get enough sleep)

tarn often hums to himself, and while most find it terrifying, he always makes sure his teammates aren’t harmed by his outlier ability.

kaon uses the pet as a guide/service dog.

speaking of the pet, he’s only violent towards the traitors, defectors and autobots. he won’t hurt any member of the djd

vos and nickel are working on research to help restore kaon’s vision

love that they got away with this

GOD i love the dynamic between garrus and paragon shepard, especially in the first two games. i love that shepard challenges his black and white sense of justice and that she pushes him to do better. i love that he gets comfortable enough to argue with her but that he respects her too much to just write her off when she disagrees with him

i do love their dynamic in the third game of course, it's my favourite point of their relationship, but the early clashing of ideologies is so interesting to me and there isn't much of that in me3 because of you know. the horrors

[cro-wii]

I hate liking rare pairs bro we got 25 fics on ao3 and the tumblr tag is barebones 😭

[transfemstarscream]

have not watched transformers: one, but from what i've seen so far proves my point about transformers: animated having the only good sentinel prime in any transformers media ever.

hc Chuuya would be one of those dog dads that take an annual mirror selfie holding their puppy. each year the puppy grows bigger and Chuuya…doesn’t grow taller but at least both his height and his happy wide grin stay the same in every photo :D

notes: it’s even better if Chuuya adopted a stray or a rescued dog from a shelter and you just see the dog look happier and healthier and more lively in each photo— it goes from looking nervous (year 1) to looking visibly happy and wearing matching outfits with Chuuya (year 2; Chuuya would get matching fits ok)

Megs doesn’t mind this, he just has a restin’ betch face (like literally everyone, so I won’t judge him for that).

Either that, or he’s havin’ intrusive thoughts about listenin’ to Starscream instead.

It's not like they have uncannily similar voices or anythin'... 🙂🫠

Starscream objurgates Vos. Scene from

Mercy| One Attack Path Discovery Storyline| Playable Survival Story Game w Tarn Final Boss. By @emperor-kumquat

I kept on getting Predaking killed in the most awful ways over and over while playing this, by the way. Astonishing, very vivid narrative. Very thrilling.

the first chapter of transformers: loyalty is out!!

[passionmaterial]

since I finished Reaper IFF and Legion's loyalty mission,I thought I might as well share this fanart I made on my first play through with my old Shepard, after finishing legion's loyalty. I really like this scene, can you tell-

Original scene under the cut, it's a recording of my own playthrough but I overlapped the audio from another video since it was the same

Can you believe that in SoN, when Percy finds out Nico has been kidnappend by Gaea (and may be dead) he doesn't even stop to worry about him? No he's worried about Hazel, bc it's her brother they're talking about and he's like 'don't worry we'll find out what happened to him', but that's for Hazel's sake, bc in his mind Percy's too busy being salty that Nico lied to him (for the whole world's sake, I might add!) to care that he might be fucking dead????

Percy Jackson you're so lucky you're not real otherwise you'd fucking catch these hands what the hell

[witchofthesouls]

any thoughts or concept ideas that you are cooking in you mind over Camiens?

the last one might have perked my interest. Some part of it ring similar tones that i had been working on on my down time (tho this was on an oc with a different craft that being a Blacksmith (Weapons maker kind) and the ever occuring difference between Cybertron and Caminus, despite looking the "same")

would some of the other think All Camiens are similar to the D.J.D or is does it just happen to that One indivdual that happens to be similar to that of the D.J.D?

Oh, I would love to see your interpretation of Camiens! Personally, I really fell in love with the idea that Camiens have deep cultural roots from Seekerkin societies and the War-Forged.

Early Camien society was far more militaristic and heavily focused on combat as the survivors of the Tribal wars and the First Cybertronian War went with the grieving Titan. Not only did Caminus bring his own citizens, but Megatronus' Darklanders, Liege Maximo's warrior-diplomats, and Crystal City skilled workers as well.

Those roots still exist in their language, dynamics, and even in their leadership roles. The Hammer of the Mistress of Flame is both ceremonial and practical as it invokes Solus Prime's Warhammer and the imagery of forge and forger as well as a weapon itself.

Unlike Cybertron, Camiens have far more social mobility and opportunities to jump into different careers. In fact, it's expected of citizens to have a variety of skills under their belt, including defense maneuvers.

At one point, all citizens were required to serve in the military and were rotated out. But millenia of relative peace loosened restrictions. Tradition and hostile fauna still demand Camiens to have some form of combat and weaponry training.

The establishment of the Torchbearers is a relatively new phenomenon as they are a dedicated six-member team of elite peacekeepers that travel across the planet. However, it's Healers and Cityspeakers that the population adore.

Camiens believe that each of them carries a fragment of Solus Herself, but the sparks that become Cityspeakers and Healers have more.

If Cityspeakers are Caminus' dream-speakers and His voice, then Healers are His direct touch.

Camien Healers are a cross between paladin, cleric, and a medic. Much how a forge creates tools of peace and war, Healers are very much both as they are able to manipulate and guide Caminus' own energy to others and within themselves to do incredibly impressive feats. Some are drawn to the denser population centers, remaining in hospitals and clinics to perform delicate operations in tandem with Caminus. Others are drawn to the dangerous edges of the dreaming, scattered Titan and the far-flung settlements of the planet, seeking out elements that cause great harm to the flow of Caminus' children.

This is a unique cultural and religious feature of Caminus as it blends faith healing, elite combatants, and medical training along with the constant war with the planet’s fauna and their own splinter groups as well as integrating newly activated War-Forged into the soul of their community.

Because the War-Forged have a monstrous capacity to deal and withstand damage as well as terrifying deep-core combat systems that are set to achieve directives no matter the cost, it is incredibly important to ensure that a newly awakened Healer pledges devotion to Caminus.

Hence, that is why Healers are easily identifiable by the intense fuschia optics and pink plating.

The process to become a Healer is a fiercely guarded secret of the pious Order of Luminara (a legendary figure that pledged loyalty and service directly to Caminus after Megatronus’ betrayal), but even promising candidates could ‘fail’ if Caminus refuses to impart a certain amount of His essence into the acolyte to awaken certain programs and coding. In the end, only a single handful are initiated into the Healer ranks every century or two.

Because of the intensity and strict regimen for potential Healers, many private groups keep a close eye on the individuals that fail to court them away from the Order as they can fulfill a multitude of highly skilled roles. While some do leave, many stay with the Order as they have ties to many organizations and fields and do receive preference.

Tourniquet is a notorious Healer for absolute dedication to hunting down extremists that deliberately target the far-flung settlements and hamlets. Much like how fire can have many names, the Way of Flame has many branches. However, there are branches that must be pruned away, such as the zealots of Sol's Lathe, who slaughter everyone and everything as a sacrifical tribute to bring back Solus to life as a reversal of Megatronus' sin ("From Death, springs Life."), and the strange cases of individuals under the throes of their version of Primus apotheosis -the delusion of being Solus' direct heir combined with paranoia and the rabid cannibalistic urge to devour sparks.

While Camiens do have a robust medical field, the presence of Healers are source of security to the population. Not only are they visible manifestations of Caminus and Solus, but should an invasion occur, they will be pulled from all operations with a new directive: slaughter.

The Nurse feels homesick because the D.J.D. reminds them of a heavily Order of Luminara-flavored Torchbearers.
