What Earthspark Could've Been

Back at it again ranting about this show like it's a parasite that keeps gnawing at my brain. And yes, this will ignore season two because DUH

Anyway, one of the biggest missed potentials the show fumbled hard was actually exploring what a war means to the children who come after it.

I had foolishly assumed that half the terrans would stay with the Maltos and the other half would somehow end up raised by the Decepticons.

The Malto Terrans would be on the side of the "winners". Raised on stories of glory and taught that Decepticons are these wholly evil beings that are rarely able to be reasoned with if at all. You'd still get the typical cute little episodes like in season one with them learning about the world, but the big shift would be the "birth" of the others.

Hashtag and Nightshade would now be found and taken in by the Decepticons. Jawbreaker going with the Maltos (probably accidently wandered off first).

Now, if you SUCK at writing, you could just have Hashtag and Nightshade in this story basically pull this scene from Megamind. (Police = Autobots, Burglar = Decepticons)

Instead, they're raised on pure survival. Of course each gaining a guardian who, instead of being written as these assholes who don't give a shit, legit care about these new terrans and want to bring back Cybertron, avenge their comrades, and provide them with a future that isn't under the thumb of the Autobots or humans.

From there you'd get the conflict from the new generation, both given only biased ideas of the other side. Twitch, Thrash and Jawbreaker seeing the Con Terrans as schemers who are just bitter and uninformed about the truth of their side's interest. And Hashtag and Nightshade seeing the Malto Terrans as these authoritarian enforces who don't care about their species and their plight to get Cybertron fixed.

This isn't perfect and there are plenty of flaws, but like in real life there are children born after wars who have to navigate the world whether or not their side won or lost and try to find their place within it.

I love the concept of a Breakbee love child just for the comedic potential it has

Like as if Bee isn't already raising 7 children then throw a sparkling in there as a cross-faction child and no one really knows what to do about that....

Like they're still at war or whatever but Soundwave is also one of their most reliable babysitters and good child care is hard to come by dammit

I don't have a name for the sparkling btw LOL I DIDNT GET THAT FAR
