#tfa general overlord in my mind is just a lot less serious of a guy

Sdfg okay so it's somewhat inspired by me thinking about ShockOp, then remembering reading a few fics with a situation between Megatron, Optimus, Lugnut, and Strika a short while back (all in the same drabble collection of course) so of course I had to think about this just... Expanding. Maybe it starts with Megatron and Optimus, but it sure as hell doesn't stay that way. Maybe a rut/heat cycle is involved, maybe it isn't.

And when I say harem I mean I want Optimus to have all of them wrapped around his little finger, fucker's allowed to sit on the throne whenever he wants and he's got a significant rank in command. I've thought about similar for Jazz and the autobots but that's based on a fic that isn't focused on it.

I was highly unsure about adding this part, but suggestion: this fitting with the "in tfa the rank of prime in the autobots has loosened to be below Magnus when before it was considered a highly prestigious position, and the Decepticons acknowledge this where the autobots barely remember it" idea I've seen a few times but also our "Primes are associated with creation, so thus something something primes being considered like extra sexy and having sex with one is socially encouraged" idea

Considering how I've recently been thinking about tfa Tarn and setting up a hypothetical general system (we know of General Strika, idk what other canon ones there are, I decided Tarn should be General Tarn, I also decided Overlord should be a general but I decided to err more on the sillygoofy angle of him, probably others too), I'm imagining Tarn joining the first big meeting for a while and he's just flummoxed upon seeing the tiny ex-autobot having a seat at the table, nevermind one so close to his Lord's

Of course because I can I suggest Tarn eventually accepts Optimus as part of command now, just as the others are. At least, in Tarn's opinion, he's not as obnoxious as Overlord is. Why do I hear tarnop flavored boss music.

I had an idea but it's legitimately just Optimus and his decepticon harem
