I've made posts about Earthspark Rodimus and Megatron having a tense relationship and having to work through it.

Now I flip it over and suggest the COMPLETE opposite.

Where Hot Rod/Rodimus shows up and is, well, himself and he and Megatron absolutely argue every moment they're together on every conceivable subject. The terrans and maltos are convinced Rodimus HATES Megatron and that Megatron is working with him so much in order to change his mind. It's not til the end that it's shown that the two are, to borrow a tvtrope, Vitriolic Best Buds and Rodimus is actually one of the autobots Megatron gets on the best with.

Sentinel in Earthspark, in that he's revealed to have been the leader on Cybertron during Optimus' absence. And Optimus is like "how did that guy become Prime?"

Then it's revealed that Sentinel is allies with the Quintessons and has been sending energon and Cybertronians he has deemed as traitors to Cybertron or "cybrids" to them in order to keep him in power and Cybertron under his thumb, kind of like what happened in TFOne.

Add in that Hot Rod is leading a small resistance group consisting of Autobots and Decepticons against him.

Ooooo??? Interesting interesting

That'd be cool

Well, they are sparklings...

Sorry- what?!

Some Transformers thoughts of mine

Okay there's this weird thought that popped up in my head today.

In some continuities, there's transformers merch made like in the Aligned continuity, ya know, Transformers Prime (well, the TF RBA, where Wedge has this Bumblebee shrine in one whole room at the academy), like do the bots get paid for the merch?

For example, Bumblebee is so popular he's literaly a celebrity, so is he paid regularly because of that merch? And I remember him being a regular street cop in Transformers robots in disguise, so I'm not really sure.

Imagine being Bumblebee, you're with the boys (idk Hot Rod and Cliffjumper and some others) you got some nice dinner, one of them suggested to split the bill, but you're like "Nah, I got you covered" and dropped a scrap ton of Shanix on the table (probably four times the amount of you and your fellas dinner). The boys are just shocked and looked at you in the optic, questioning on how you got that amount of Shanix.

But for other continuities, like Earthspark, I don't think it would count for obvious reasons. He hidin, earth currency is nothing to him.

What about bootlegs? Like a goofy ahh eyed Bumblebee merch, would that count?

Too fiddly? Oh! I guess with multiple cards it can be hard to get a handle on them. Yea, I can see that.

Exploding Kittens is a game I’ve heard of, but never actually played it. However, with Uno, my family and I had a 3 hour long game! It was hilarious!😂

Star, Bee, Hot Rod, if you’ve played Uno, what was the longest game you’ve ever played?

What's Uno?

The longest game I played was with Agent Schloder. It lasted about 5hrs.

It... what? How? How d'you make a game last that long?

Breakdown kept interrupting.

He probably felt left out! Why didn't you include him? I thought you said you like him.

He was in the next cell over. But, yeah, he was probably bored and feeling like we were ignoring him.

You were in prison? When?

When a mission you sent me on went wrong.

Ah. Oh. Then.

Was Optimus a bad dad?

No. Perhaps he was a bit stupid...

Thanks, Megs.

Pfffft... hahaha!

Question:

How would you feel about being able to ask some of the characters I write questions? Would you enjoy it?

Would you like me to take asks for them here?

Would you prefer that I set up a separate, side account for that?

To clarify, the idea would be that certain characters answer questions or maybe even comment on a fic that gets sent in.

I thought it might be fun to do.

Eg. "Megatron, what do you think of TF: ES? Do you like it?"

So a while back, Shortly Before Earthspark Came Out, I thought of the Idea That Soundwave was brainwashed by Mandroid or Something and That's Why He Betrayed Megatron.

I was wrong with that.

But I'm amazed that I accurately Guessed That Mandroid Could Brainwash Bots, as shown with.. was it Swindle Or Hardtop? Anyway. I knew Soundwave Wasn't Brainwashed, but I think that would be A Cool Earthspark AU, where Soundwave was Revealed That He Was Brainwashed, and Like-Op and Megs try to Undo it. And Soundwave after it's undone is like: What Have I Done :<

[cutekittenlady]

I'd just like to add on to my previous post about Earthspark Twitch and Megatron going to Cybertron and meeting Hot Rod that bang up alongside that I'd love it if Hot Rod also develops and unexcpected friendship with Soundwave like he did in Cyberverse.

Like maybe they'd been fighting on Cybertron the whole time but at the Climax the Quintessons or Unicron or whoever is descending on Cybertron and maybe they got away from an initial assault with Hot Rod having saved Soundwave or something. They come to a mutual agreement to temporarily team up to help liberate their home world (again just like in cyberverse) and it turns out they work great together.

No idea how that'd end but I just think it'd be cool.

Plus the soundrod fans would love it.

BEFORE WORK DOODLES OF MY 3 FAV BOTS (jk grimlock is my all time favorite just bc of how he speaks and hes a dino)

[trashhole]

Who’s he winking at? 🤨

And some star & bee studies

[transingthoseformers]

Au idea

Prewar Megaoplita have three kids then the war starts and Megatron losses all of the kids in the divorce which is upsetting to him because he's there carrier. The kids in this being Bumblebee, Hot Rod and Arcee

Ouchhh that's gotta be such a crunchy situation at the time and later on as he meets them as autobots (and later later on when Megatron defects)

[eldritch-araneae]

Yo! I'm the same anon that saying "Hey! I like the idea where Bumblebee is finally growing up and have a son name Rubble". I also like the idea where Bee is Optimus' successor (I think some people said Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime/Hot Shot is more suitable to be Optimus' successor but I don't care and want Hot Rod being Ultra Magnus/Sentinel Prime's successor). I know the Terrans (2+3) are Bee's students in TFE but in the same time,I assume they also Bee's children (well,maybe more like Bee's unexpected/unplanned children and Bee being in the same situation likr ROTTMNT Splinter🤣🤣🤣 sorry for bad in English 😭)

It makes sense why ppl say it because it started with Transformers: The Movie when we get introduced to Hot Rod, the he takes the Matrix and becomes Rodimus.

Personally I'm kinda 50/50 if I like Bumblebee taking leadership position. Several years ago I would say "hell yes!" but after seeing the garbage fire writers did in IDW1 where Bee was forced at this position only to anyone not listening to him, offering zero support, to be punching bag and all this to be discarded like a used tool... I'm very, very skeptical that writers can handle his character right in this situation.

But I do like what I see in Earthspark so far. I can see that in the future there is gonna be a third faction of Terrans with Bumblebee in charge. But unlike comics, he’s growing into this position in gradual and more natural pace. Bumblebee is growing with Terrans this time, and he bonds with them more with each episode, which mean in future this kind of alliance will be held together on love and trust.

Also, to me TFE Bee definitely a young adult who still tries to make sense of his life. Despite what Nova Storm said, officially Bee is the youngest among legacy bots. Thus, I don't really see him as father figure to Terrans. He's more like the eldest sibling)
